Amazing Pastoral World: Unparalleled Medical Queen
Chapter 21 Quarrel
The next morning.
Lu Ke'er woke up at daybreak.
The wound on her forehead had healed, but in order to hide her identity, she still wrapped it with a bandage and pretended to apply and take medicine on time every day.
After putting on her clothes and simply combing her hair, Lu Ke'er saw Ji as soon as she walked out of the room.
"Ke'er, mother made this for you, eat it on the way." Ji handed Lu Ke'er an oil paper bag with three hot brown rice balls inside. She also took out an embroidered purse from her bosom and stuffed it into Lu Ke'er's hand.
"Here, there are ten cents in it."
"This...is this all the money in the family?" Lu Ke'er was very suspicious.
"There are still... two coins left." Ji said proudly, "You are away from home, and you don't have much money with you. It's uneasy."
Lu Ke'er squeezed the purse in her hand. The purse was made of brocade, with a few green bamboos embroidered on it with bright silk threads. With just a few stitches, the character and charm of the green bamboos were brought to life.
"Mom, did you embroider this?" Lu Ke'er praised sincerely, "It's so beautifully embroidered."
Ji said with embarrassment: "It's just a few stitches of embroidery, it's not worthy of being embroidered in a classy hall."
Lu Ke'er didn't think so. In her previous life, she had seen a lot of embroidery. She had seen Su embroidery, Shu embroidery, and Xiang embroidery. The embroidery level of this purse in front of her was comparable to them, and even better.
There were only ten cents in the purse, but she still felt its heavy weight.
She put the purse in her arms and put it together with the ginseng.
"Mom, don't worry, I will bring back more money."
"Silly child, earn as much as you can. The most important thing is that you come back safely."
"Why are you worrying so much? Jinji Town is not a den of tigers and wolves."
"Ah, you kid." Ji smiled, pondered for a while, and said slowly, "The last time you went to town was when you were four or five years old. Alas, it's been seven or eight years in a flash."
As he spoke, his smile faded and a hint of sadness appeared at the corners of his eyes.
If the marriage has not been cancelled, in three years, when Ke'er reaches marriage age, she can marry into Jinji Town and escape from this small mountain village.
Alas, what a pity...
Lu Ke'er had no idea what Ji was thinking. She was only thinking about how to sell the ginseng at a good price.
Under the old camphor tree at the entrance of the village, Old Jiangtou parked his oxcart. Some people in the village brought some mountain products to Old Jiangtou to exchange for some daily necessities in the town, while others just took their things and wanted to take Old Jiangtou's car to the town. Whether they helped to sell mountain products for goods or took a ride, Old Jiangtou charged one penny per person.
When Lu Ke'er arrived, there were already four or five people sitting on the ox cart, and Dong Ling was waiting in front of the ox cart.
"Ke'er, I've saved a seat for you." Dong Ling helped Ke'er lift the basket of fish onto the ox cart.
"So you reserved this seat for this little girl?" Lin, who was sitting on the side of the oxcart, glared angrily and shouted, "She is not allowed to get on the cart! She can't sit today!"
Before Lu Ke'er could speak, Dong Ling had already put her hands on her hips and started to scold Lin: "Aunt Lin, why can't Ke'er take this car? This car is yours? Grandpa Jiang didn't even ask, why don't you let him take it?"
Lin glanced at Lu Ke'er with contempt, and the fat on her face trembled: "Everyone knows that this little girl has a bad fate. If you get close to her, don't get stained with her bad luck."
Dong Ling glanced at Lin and sneered, "Ke'er is very lucky. She is younger, prettier, smarter, and more capable than you. What do you have? You are old and ugly, with only fat on your body. What a pity. How much can a pig be sold for? What can you do?"
The people in the car burst into laughter.
Some people have long been fed up with Lin's daily behavior, and some have quarreled with her. This woman is a trouble maker, and wherever she goes, trouble follows.
"Lin Fei, is it because your husband treats you like a pig that you are so fat? Haha, how much do you plan to sell it for per pound?" A thin man laughed.
"You dead girl, I'm going to tear your mouth apart!" Lin was furious, and his fat body pounced towards Dong Ling like a ball.
Lu Ke'er's eyes narrowed slightly, she took a step forward, and stood in front of Dong Ling. The spiritual energy in her body began to circulate, and she raised her arm, and in the blink of an eye she blocked Lin's hand.
Lin only felt a numbness in his arm, and then the pain started from the wrist and spread to the entire arm.
"You...what did you do to me?" Lin stared at Lu Ke'er, shocked and frightened.
Her entire arm felt as if struck by lightning, and was filled with pain and numbness, and she could hardly lift it.
"Aunt Lin, I was just trying to stop your violent behavior!" Lu Ke'er said coldly, "If you dare to touch Dong Ling, I will cripple your hand today! If you don't believe me, you can try it!"
Some people just don't need to be reasoned with. Fighting violence with violence is the best way.
"You...you...I won't bother with you!" Lin shrank back into her seat angrily.
"Ke'er, you were so awesome just now!" Lu Ke'er sat down and immediately received two hearts from Dong Ling.
"No matter how powerful it is, it's not as powerful as your mouth." Lu Ke'er smiled.
"You're actually making fun of me?" Dong Ling pretended to be angry, "Who did I do that for just now? You have no conscience."
The two laughed and joked for a while.
Suddenly, Lin said loudly to Old Jiangtou, who was still busy receiving mountain products: "Old Jiangtou, why don't you let people get on the car without charging them? Since your car can be used for free, why do you charge me?"
Instantly, everyone in the car fell silent.
Lu Ke'er's face darkened.
Old Jiangtou had just put away the last box of mountain products. Hearing this, he glared at Lin unhappily: "Lin, what are you trying to do?"
"I……"
"Grandpa Jiang." Lu Ke'er interrupted Lin and took out a penny and handed it to him, "This is my taxi fare."
Old Jiang refused to take it: "You keep it first. I heard from Dong Ling that you are going to the town to sell fish. After you sell the fish, you can give it to me again."
Dong Ling also advised: "Ke'er, keep it for now, maybe you will need it when you get to town."
"No need." Lu Ke'er stuffed the penny into Old Jiang's hand and said, "My mother made some dry food for me, so I don't need to spend any money to go to town."
Seeing that she insisted, Old Ginger accepted it.
"Hmph, just trying to show off." Lin muttered.
Dong Ling glared at her when she heard that and opened her mouth to scold her, but was held down by Lu Ke'er.
"She has a stinky mouth and she has to fart. Let her do it."
The sound was clear and loud, making other people in the car laugh, but it made Lin so angry that his fat face turned red and white, which was very interesting.
"Some people are just shameless. They thought they would marry into the town in the future, but unfortunately, the other party looked down on them. They couldn't marry into the town, but they tried every means to go to the town. They said they were selling fish, but who knows what they were thinking? Did they want to save the engagement? Tsk tsk, they are really shameless."
Listening to Lin's sarcastic tone, Lu Ke'er decided not to endure it any longer.
"Aunt Lin, if I call you aunt, you have to act like one. It's true that my engagement was broken off, and the whole village knows it. In my opinion, the breakup was a good one, a brilliant one, and a great one."
