Traveling through ancient times, I led my family to prosperity

While the mother and daughter were talking, Shengxuan and Xiaowen came back.

"Has the person left?" Zhang asked Sheng Xuan.

"He's gone. The businessman surnamed Zhao is rushing to the government office to pick up someone." Sheng Xuan said.

In fact, the actual situation was that not only the businessman surnamed Zhao went to the county government office, Xiao Wen also sent Su Ye to follow him. If Xiao Lan's family did not inform the county government office, Pang Xiu'e would not be released at all.

"However, this guy surnamed Zhao said he would come again in the afternoon, saying that he wanted to go to the old house and apologize to the old man early." Sheng Xuan said.

Sure enough, news came from the county government in the afternoon that Pang Xiu'e and those who caused trouble were beaten with a stick and paid a fine. Pang Xiu'e was taken away by a man named Zhao that day and left the county.

In the evening, the businessman surnamed Zhao came to Shengjiatun again, bringing gifts and kowtowed to apologize to Mr. Sheng.

The people in the old house called Sheng Xuan and Xiao Wen over, after all, the old man couldn't move or speak now. When Zhao kowtowed and apologized, the old man made two "ah" sounds and then fell silent.

After seeing off the businessman surnamed Zhao, Sheng Xuan and Xiao Wen said goodbye and went back. However, the old man was too excited at this time, and he shouted "ah, ah" twice, and then blinked at Cui.

Cui had been with the old man for his entire life, so she immediately understood what he meant. "Take all these gifts away. They were given to you for your sake. We don't want them."

The merchant surnamed Zhao brought a generous gift of compensation. Although the brothers Sheng Nuo and Sheng Kai were anxious, they dared not say a word. After some refusing, Cui finally accepted these things.

Maybe these supplements really worked, or maybe Zhao's kowtowing to the old man worked. After a while, although the old man still couldn't speak, he could move his body.

When the old man felt a little better, he refused to lie on the kang and be served, nor did he want anyone to take care of his excrement and urine. Instead, he wanted someone to help him go to the toilet.

"The old man knows how to care for people." Sheng Xuan said this to Zhang after he came back.

The objects of Mr. Sheng's concern are naturally Sheng Nuo and Sheng Kai. A few days ago, the old man couldn't move and needed someone to take care of him. At that time, he was only willing to eat dry rice. He would not drink water unless he was very thirsty. The reason was just to reduce the number of times he went to the toilet and not cause trouble to his eldest son and second son.

Old Master Sheng felt that if he was unable to move around easily and had to rely on others to take care of him, he would lose his dignity, so as soon as he got better, he didn't want to trouble his two sons.

Now that the old man was able to move, he thought about stopping the medication. After all, these medicines were bought with money. Although Sheng Xuan's family paid for it, no one's money came from the wind. In the past two days, Doctor Li came to check on the old man's specific situation. According to his physical condition, he adjusted the prescription for him. This time, most of the prescriptions were tonics for adjusting the body. Naturally, the money for buying the medicine was still borne by Xiao Lan's family.

Actually, the old man meant that he was well now and there was no need to continue taking medicine. Farmers usually survived the disease if they could, and only went to the doctor to get medicine when they really couldn't. The old man was worried about the money, so he stopped taking the medicine. However, Sheng Xuan and Xiao Wen did not agree to this. They still arranged for someone to get the medicine and then sent it to the old house.

"Your grandfather is old now. When your grandfather was young..." Sheng Xuan sighed.

Xiao Lan didn't know what Mr. Sheng was like when he was young, but now she saw that the old man was indeed old. After the stroke, he lost a lot of weight. Now even if he straightened his back, his body was slightly hunched forward... Coupled with the old man's gray hair, the old man is no longer the energetic old man before, but a sixty-year-old man with the air of twilight.

"Boss, just hearing your sentiments, how is the old man's health?" Zhang asked.

"It's still the same. It's stronger than before and can speak." Sheng Xuan said.

Perhaps noticing that Sheng Xuan was a little sad, Zhang consoled him, "Everyone has this day when they get older. Besides, at this age, how can you be the same as when you were young? It's great to be able to maintain your current state."

Sheng Xuan nodded.

That evening, Xiaolan's family had finished dinner. Xiaolan was looking at the account book, while Shengxuan and Xiaowen were discussing what crops to plant on the family's new farm this year.

"The land on this farm is all good, and the money we spent is worth it." Sheng Xuan followed Xiao Lan and said, "Xiao Lan, after spending the money from this farm, we don't have much money left, right?"

Xiao Lan was about to speak when she heard footsteps outside, and then a person stumbled in from outside.

"Oh no, oh no..."

"What's the matter, Ding Yi? Take a breath first before you speak," Xiao Lan said hurriedly when she saw that the person who came was the family's farmhand.

Ding Yi had been fertilizing and turning the soil in the fields, when he suddenly came running over in a panic. Could something have happened in the old house?

As expected, Ding Yi took a breath and said, "Master, Young Master, Second Miss, it's the old master. I'm afraid the old master is dying..."

"Ah?" Sheng Xuan was horrified and jumped off the kang to the ground. "What did you say? When I went to see the old man two days ago, he was still fine. How come he couldn't survive just because the old man said so? Explain it clearly." Sheng Xuan said while putting on his shoes.

"Uncle Ding, don't panic, just speak slowly." Xiao Lan said.

"The old man just fell down and is still confused. The people in the old house were scared and sent someone to deliver a letter."

"Let's go and talk while we walk." Sheng Xuan and Xiao Wen went out in a hurry.

Then Xiao Lan arranged for someone to invite Doctor Li.

"The old man has taken this medicine. If he doesn't see any improvement, I'm afraid he will die..."

It was late now, but Sheng Xuan was the old man's biological son, and Xiao Wen was the eldest son in the family. He had also achieved fame, and everyone treated him as an adult, so he followed Sheng Xuan to the old house. Xiao Lan was a girl, and according to etiquette and village rules, even if Xiao Lan and Zhang didn't go to the old house so late, no one would gossip about them.

However, Xiaolan and Zhang still dressed up and followed Shengxuan to the old house.

Xiao Lan was very surprised at the old man's sudden illness. He had been taking the tonic medicine prescribed by Doctor Li and was doing well. How could he suddenly...

It turned out that just now, the old man wanted to buy some grain seeds, so he asked Cui to open the money box. As a result, he found that there was not a single copper coin inside.
