After traveling through time, she took her husband to be a food doctor

Chapter 240 The Meng family father and daughter come to look for their relatives, and the tea shop f

After the brothers left, Lin Mingxuan helped the middle-aged man to sit on a chair. Ding Xirui also came out from the back hall.

"How is it?" Lin Mingxuan asked.

"I'm fine now. I'm resting."

"Yeah." Lin Mingxuan turned and went to the backyard to check if the medicine was ready.

An Yumo, who was standing by, was mesmerized by what he saw.

"What are you thinking about?" Ding Xirui walked over and patted her.

"Xi Rui, are there patients like this coming every day?" she asked.

"That's not the case. We don't usually encounter too many acute illnesses like this, otherwise the doctors would be exhausted." Ding Xirui sat down and poured himself a bowl of water.

An Yumo held his chin with one hand and continued:

"You look like you could do that."

"Alas, I learned it bit by bit. Now I'm still not good enough and can't see patients independently." After saying this, Ding Xirui drank a bowl of water in one breath.

While the two were talking, Lin Mingxuan came in with two bowls of medicine. Ding Xirui picked up a bowl and took it to the back hall. After a while, the girl from the back hall also came to the front hall.

When the father and daughter met, their eyes were a little red.

"Brother, where are you from and what are you doing in Lan County?" Ding Xirui asked.

"We came from Shanyang County and thought it would be faster to take a boat down the river. However, this is our first time taking a boat for such a long distance and we couldn't get off in the middle of the journey. It was really a life-threatening situation," the man replied.

"My father and I came to Lan County to visit my aunt." The girl lowered her head slightly and continued to answer.

"I wonder where your aunt is now? Maybe we know her and can take you there." Nanxing also came over and asked.

"My sister and brother-in-law opened a tea shop. My brother-in-law's surname was Bai. Alas, my brother-in-law died of illness. I wonder how my sister is doing now?" The man said, his eyes red again.

Ding Xirui and the others looked at each other and understood. An Yumo also understood and sighed secretly.

The father and daughter were a little surprised, "Doctor, do you know?"

"Is your surname Meng?" Lin Mingxuan asked.

"Exactly."

Ding Xirui and the others looked at each other and smiled.

"Brother Meng, we know that store." She said, pointing in the direction of the store.

"That's great."

The father and daughter held each other's hands excitedly.

The boss lady just needed someone to take care of her. If the father and daughter could stay for ten days, the business of the store would be good. Ding Xirui looked at the two of them and felt happy.

"Doctor, can we pay for this medicine in two days?" the man said.

"Is there any difficulty?" Ding Xirui suddenly had a bad feeling.

"We don't have much money..." the man continued.

"No..." Lin Mingxuan was about to speak when he was stopped by Ding Xirui.

"The consultation fee and medicine cost are not much, just five hundred coins." Ding Xirui asked.

"We only have less than a hundred coins on us now..." The man touched his chest and never took out the money. The girl lowered her head and turned her face away.

Ding Xirui's face darkened slightly, but quickly returned to normal.

"Then pay fifty cents first and I can pay the rest slowly, it's okay." She said with a smile.

Nan Xing and Lin Mingxuan frowned, puzzled. In the past, when they met poor people, they would give them a few days' rest. What happened to Ding Xirui this time? He didn't even let go of fifty coins...

"Okay." The man twitched his lips, took out a small cloth bag from his arms, and grabbed a handful of copper coins. Ding Xirui counted them one by one and wrote a note.

"Brother, this is the receipt. It says there are five hundred coins in total. You have already paid fifty coins, and there are four hundred and fifty coins left. Every time you pay it back, you will change the number until you have paid it all off."

"Okay." The man smiled awkwardly and put away the note.

"Let me take you there." Ding Xirui continued.

"I'll go too." An Yumo stood up.

"Thank you." The man looked a little embarrassed, but still did not refuse.

They soon arrived at the teahouse. The proprietress thought they were guests and greeted them with a smile, but when she saw the father and daughter, her smile froze immediately. However, the father and daughter had tears in their eyes and quickly ran to her side.

"Sister."

"aunt."

"Why are you here?" The proprietress did not give an equally enthusiastic response.

"You sent a message saying that your brother-in-law was gone, and we were worried about you. It's Mid-Autumn Festival now, and your sister-in-law urged me to come and see you," said the man.

"Auntie, I miss you~" The girl hugged the proprietress.

The proprietress's expression relaxed, and she reached out her hand and patted the girl gently.

"Xiumei, you've grown into a big girl now."

The man noticed the cloth strip on the boss lady's hand and asked quickly, "Sister, what's wrong with your hand?"

"It's okay, I accidentally got burned."

"Hey, it's a good thing we're here, otherwise who would take care of you?" The man pretended to be distressed. He looked around and asked, "Where's that idiot Amu?"

"Brother, don't say that." The proprietress gently pushed away the girl named "Xiumei", a little angry.

Ding Xirui and An Yumo looked at each other and frowned.

"Sister-in-law, where is Brother Amu? The tea he makes is very fragrant. Let's come and drink it tomorrow." An Yumo said.

"Okay, Doctor Ding, Miss An, I'm sorry I forgot to entertain you." The proprietress came forward.

Hearing this, the man's face looked a little embarrassed.

"We have things to do, so we won't disturb your reunion." Ding Xirui patted her arm gently, raised his head and said to the father and daughter, "Sister-in-law's hand is injured, so you should eat light food, not drink alcohol, not eat spicy food, and not get angry. Since relatives are here, please take good care of her."

"Of course, definitely." The father and daughter nodded rapidly.

"Then we'll take our leave. Come back in a few days to pick up the ordered tea and pay the remaining money then." An Yumo continued.

"Okay, don't worry." The proprietress looked grateful and bowed to them.

The two walked out of the tea shop and clenched their fists.

"Xi Rui, are they here to extort money?" An Yumo asked in a low voice.

"You can see it too, let's go."

The two walked out a dozen steps, and only continued the previous topic after making sure that the people inside couldn't hear clearly.

"I felt something was wrong when I heard that he didn't want to pay the medical fee," said Ding Xirui.

"Yes, it's Mid-Autumn Festival, and I didn't bring anything to my sister's house, not to mention gifts, I don't even have local specialties. Even if I don't have money, some vegetables and rice will be fine." An Yumo also felt that something was wrong.

"Yes, now is the busy farming season. Farmers want to stay in the fields all day long. How can he bear to come out?"

"He must have encountered an emergency and came to ask for something." An Yumo shook his head.

"Look at the boss lady's expression, she doesn't welcome them. Alas!" Ding Xirui looked back and shook his head.

Life is so difficult. The debt has not been paid off yet, and new "debt collectors" have come to the door.

"Sister-in-law is such a nice person." An Yumo sighed and felt sad.

"Anyway, let's walk around more often." Ding Xirui held her hand.

The sun was shining brightly, and the light was so strong that it was almost impossible to open one's eyes. At this moment, the coolness of the morning had disappeared. Although autumn had arrived, people were still scorched. The two walked to the shade of the street, with heavy thoughts on their minds.

Why is it so difficult to live a good life?
