A peasant girl traveled through time and space, and she became prosperous

Ma Hui was a smart person. When she heard what Wen Meijiu said, she knew that Wen Meijiu didn't want to give her the money.

Wen Meijiu was not the only one who said this to her. The first person who said this to her was Ren Meiluo.

Ren Meluo is not as good-tempered as Wen Meijiu. He was pointing at her nose and telling her not to just think about taking advantage.

Ma Hui had no money, but she had somewhere to eat and drink for free, so she didn't want to borrow money from anyone and take on so much foreign debt.

"Good wine, auntie, don't you have anywhere to borrow it?"

Ma Hui knew that the ten taels of silver from Lao Li were given by Wen Meijiu. She thought that the ten taels of silver had been lent to Wen Meijiu and Ren Meiluo, so there would be no money left to lend to her.

She had no money. Dalang, Erlang and Sanlang were all born from the same mother. She just couldn't believe that everyone would just watch them die without helping, especially the Wenmei Restaurant.

It is said that a starved camel is bigger than a horse, so isn’t there a prince behind the warm wine?

It was difficult on the road now, but she heard that the prince was also going to Donghai County, and for some unknown reason, he went with them.

Wen Meijiu doesn't give anyone any loopholes to take advantage of. If she sympathizes with someone and is willing to give, you can take it for free, but if you want to cheat, forget it.

"Oh, Auntie, why didn't you tell me about this earlier?"

Ma Hui didn't expect Wen Meijiu to react so strongly, and was instead shocked by her words.

"What?"

"What else? Tell me and I can take you to see Doctor Li!"

Ma Hui asked doubtfully, "Didn't Doctor Li already lend all the ten taels of silver to you and your sister-in-law? How could he have any money left to lend to me?"

"Doctor Li's family is a big business, so he must have a lot of money!

Just think about it, he earned ten taels of silver by looking after my family’s horses, and he can also treat illnesses, so how much money can he make!

Ten taels of silver is nothing. He has plenty of silver. You can lend it to him."

Wen Meijiu's words did not comfort Ma Hui, but instead made her feel burdened. After all, she did not want to be burdened with foreign debts, especially when there were still people who could bear the burden for her family.

"Oh, really? It costs ten taels of silver to look after a horse, how much would it cost to treat a patient?"

Ma Hui changed the subject, but Wen Meijiu was no fool and figured out what she was saying.

“Isn’t this impossible?

If we lose our horse while fleeing from famine, we won’t be able to buy it back with ten taels of silver.

If a person gets sick from exhaustion, even ten taels of silver may not be able to save him. So if you calculate it this way, it’s still a good deal.”

Ma Hui didn't expect Wen Meijiu to react so quickly and answer so promptly. She didn't know what to say for a moment, so she just stood there and said "oh" softly, feeling a little reluctant in her heart.

"Oh, by the way, fortunately my horse is fine. I was thinking that if my horse had died, I would have to share the carriage with you."

This finishing remark hit Ma Hui right in the throat. She treasured the two carriages so much and was thinking that she could use them to do great things when she arrived in Donghai County in the future. She couldn't give Wen Meijiu any reason to go back.

"Yes, yes, you are thoughtful about the wine, and I am not considerate enough.

Good wine, I don't know that Lao Li, can you go and ask for me first, it would be the best if he can lend it to me."

Wen Meijiu patted his chest and took on the responsibility:

"No problem. He and I are on good terms now. I'll go talk to him."

"This rent money...I'll borrow money and pay you back later."

Ma Hui mentioned the rent, and Wen Meijiu waved his hand and said:

"Forget it, I'll make it up later.

Lao Li is out and won't be back for a while. Go and make arrangements with the child and my uncle first. I'll call you when he comes back."

"Hey, thank you for the wine.

Without you, I really don’t know how I would have gotten through this journey.”

Things have been decided, and Ma Hui has no intention of regretting it. She has made up her mind that it will never be wrong to follow Wen Meijiu.

Ma Hui's confidence in Wen Meijiu is based on Wen Meijiu's performance along the way. Just ask, who can give her family two carriages for free, and who can save so many people from the robbers.

She really didn't believe that there was no master behind Wen Meijiu.

Watching Ma Hui follow the waiter upstairs, Wen Meijiu breathed a sigh of relief. It was really not easy to make everyone independent.

After a while, the waiter came down, and Wen Meijiu followed him upstairs to see his own room.

Wen Meijiu chose the middle room and the one on the east side.

The room at Wenmei Restaurant faces the stairs, so it would not be convenient for Lao Li to express any ideas, and she could sleep more soundly.

After seeing the waiter off, Wen Meijiu walked around the room and couldn't help but sigh that this place where he spent money was not that good.

In the room, apart from an old square table and four round stools, there was only a wooden frame used as a bed, which was about two meters long and covered with straw mats, which could accommodate the whole family to lie down on.

Fortunately, there was a window in the room, through which Wen Meijiu could see the scenery outside, which made him feel a little better.

After a while, the waiter came upstairs and brought a bucket of hot water, saying that each lower-class room could get one bucket for free.

After warming the wine and thanking the waiter, he hurried to the outside of the inn to pick up his family.

When she went there, Lao Li had already returned and was giving an injection to Dad's leg.

After Lao Li finished the surgery, they carried Dad upstairs together, warmed up the wine and sent Lao Li to his room. She told him that Ma Hui wanted to borrow money and gave him five taels of silver. No matter whether Lao Li was rich or not, she couldn't let him suffer this loss.

When she came back, she informed Ma Hui.

Old Li told Dad to massage his legs more often and take the packet of medicine he brought back every night.

Wen Meijiu went to find the shopkeeper and gave him ten cents. The shopkeeper happily took the medicine to the kitchen to boil.

Before the medicine was brought back, Wen Meijiu asked his father to soak his feet in the only bucket of hot water.

Dad was very happy. Although he couldn't feel anything, he felt there was hope for him to stand up.

Mother was exhausted from taking care of Dad, but she still kept thinking about him:

"It would be nice if I could give your dad a hot bath."

"I want to take a shower, too. My second sister said I stink today."

Lanling's words sounded a bit false. It was clearly him who wanted to go play with the girl, but she rejected him. He actually blamed it on Jinxiang.

“When did I ever tell you that?

You clearly wanted to play with that girl, but she didn't want to play with you and said you were smelly."

Jin Xiang would not tolerate him and immediately exposed his lie.

Lanling lowered his head in embarrassment and stuck out his tongue shamelessly.

The weather has been dry and hot these past two days, and there is a water shortage everywhere. It's good enough to have water for washing feet. Where can we find water for taking a bath?

Wen Meijiu also felt itchy all over. It was time to take a shower. He was very dirty after a day.

"It's not difficult. It can be solved by spending some money."

My mother feels sad when she talks about spending money.

"Forget it, let's save as much as possible. I don't know if I'll have enough money for the whole journey."

"Mom, this little money is nothing. The most important thing is that Dad's illness can be cured."

Wen Meijiu told her mother to put up a curtain in the corner so that she could take a bath inside. She got up and went downstairs.

The shopkeeper said that water is very expensive now, and each bucket of hot water costs twenty cents, and you have to queue up.

Wen Meijiu paid a hundred coins for the wine, intending to give each family member a bucket of hot water, so that even if they couldn't take a comfortable bath, they could still use it to wipe the body.

The waiter took her through the inner hall and to the east side yard. Only then did Wen Meijiu realize that she had been thinking too optimistically.
