Quick Travel: Dream Hunt

Chapter 169 The Tragic Queen with Space 29

Having said that, Ting He still carefully dug out a branch, walked to the center of the back mountain where he found the black blood Ganoderma lucidum, and planted it again. After watching it being planted, Ting He got some vines or something to cover it, and poured a few handfuls of spiritual spring water on it before leaving.

The plants in the planting space matured very quickly, and the good seeds she harvested were also carefully put aside, waiting for a suitable opportunity to plant them out. She also collected the medicinal herbs and materials, waiting to use them when selling braised meat in the future. Now the time has not come, and she has so much money in her hands, so there is no need to take them out for the time being. She will take them out when she is ready in the future, which will be just right for opening a store or something.

As for the Ganoderma lucidum and ginseng seeds that she picked up for sixty cents, they have successfully sprouted under the water of the spiritual spring and are growing lushly in the space. Although she can give them directly to Nan Tangqing, the ten thousand taels of silver must pass through Old Lady Lin's hands, otherwise it will be difficult to explain where it came from and where it goes. When the time comes, she can exchange the herbs that Old Lady Lin bought cheaply with those in her space, so that Nan Tangqing can heal her wounds and leave as soon as possible. She is only thirteen years old, and she still has several years before she goes to Duancheng. In the next few years, she will follow the original owner's footsteps and open a food shop to make a living and build a reputation.

Thinking of this, Ting He happily took out a wild deer from the planting space, dragged it on the ground and returned home from the back mountain again.

When they got home, Boss Lin and his family had not returned from the town yet. Ting He felt that it was quite boring to stay at home. She might as well go to Old Lady Lin's room and take a nap for a while. Isn't a good sleep more comfortable than anything else?

……

Liu was so anxious that she took ten taels of silver to find the village doctor, just to treat Lin Laoer. After a diagnosis, the doctor found that Lin Laoer was just overworked and had a little wind-heat, and he would be cured by taking some medicine and sweating.

However, when he saw the ten taels of silver, he began to think: This is not a small amount of money! After thinking for a while, Doctor Lin decided not to charge for the consultation, just as a favor to the old Lin family. After all, he already knew the reason why the second son's family was kicked out of the house, so it was not easy to care about the medicine fee. So he prescribed a few prescriptions and left in a hurry.

At this time, Liu was worried - there was not even an appliance to boil medicine here! In desperation, she had to support the weak Lin Lao Er and trudged back to Liu's house. You know, the Lin family had already rejected them, and they had nowhere to go.

When they arrived at Liu's house, Liu fell to her knees and begged Mrs. Liu to let them in. It turned out that Lin Yinshan had a high fever and if he was not treated in time, his life would be in danger. The family was arguing about this. Liu had no choice but to hand over the precious ten taels of silver to Mrs. Liu, just to ask for a place to stay.

When Mrs. Liu saw the silver, she quickly snatched it with a smile on her face, put it in her mouth and took a bite to make sure it was real, then she forced a smile and reluctantly accepted Liu and Lin Yinshan into the house. Lin Yinshan also successfully took the medicine prescribed by Doctor Lin and began to regulate his body.

But this peaceful life did not last for a few days. Liu Hao came back from the town with a bruised face and nose, which made his wife Liu very worried. After a detailed discussion, she found out that he was cheated by the gambling house when he went to the town to try his luck, and he owed a hundred taels of silver. The gambling house also threatened to come to Liu's house and break his legs if he did not pay back the money within three days.

Having just experienced being forced by the "bandits" to rob their money and ancestral home, the Liu family huddled in fear, wondering what to do. Liu Hao's mother spoke at this time, looking at Pan Di who was washing dishes in the yard, and murmured uncertainly:

"Pandi is less than ten years old, how can she be worth a hundred taels of silver? My aunt doesn't like this daughter very much, why not try to exchange her for money? Hao'er is the only child of our Liu family, and he is a good student. Maybe he can pass the imperial examination and become the prime minister in the future. We can't let gambling houses and other things tarnish his reputation."

When Granny Liu heard this, her eyes started rolling around, and she looked at Pan Di with a strange look in her eyes. Finally, she made the final decision:

"Pandi is still young, so she can be kept for a while. I think, since Chunniang has been divorced by the Lin family and still has a burden, but the ten taels of silver are too shabby, why not get that hunting Zhaodi here? She is thirteen years old, and she will be a marriageable girl next year. She can be exchanged for a hundred taels of silver. Why don't I go to the town to ask Mr. Bai if he needs a concubine? If it works out, Hao'er's debt will be paid. But we are farmers after all, and we have to rely on Hao'er to change our family status and become a farming and reading family. We can't encourage such practices as visiting brothels and gambling houses in the future, lest it tarnish our Hao'er's reputation in the future."

Upon hearing this, Liu Hao immediately put on a filial attitude and swore:

"Grandma, what are you talking about? How can a scholar going to a brothel be called a visit? That's called cultivating one's sentiments. At most, your grandson will no longer go to the gambling house and focus on studying. You should quickly find a way to ask your aunt to bring sister Zhaodi to help pay off the debt owed to the gambling house. Otherwise, if your grandson's hands and feet are really broken by them, how can he make a name for himself in the future? It will make your grandma lose her position as a royal lady for nothing. Don't you agree?"

Upon hearing this, Old Lady Liu was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling. She said all the nice things she could, praising Liu Hao for his filial piety. She also thought that he would earn her the title of a noble lady when he became successful in the future. She said that he was the only grandchild of the Liu family, so he should be well supported and educated.

After the Liu family discussed how to pay off Liu Hao's debts, they took turns to comfort Liu, saying things like "treat her well, Hao'er will take care of her in her old age, and just need to call Zhaodi out to visit the Liu family as relatives." Liu was overjoyed by her natal family, and the secret resentment she had towards Zhaodi in her heart became more substantial in these words.

At this point, she had already decided to visit the Lin family again. Humph, it was her credit that the Lin family could eat meat and exchange for money. Zhaodi was her own daughter, so how could the Lin family get so much money for free? Since they were going to fight to the death, they might as well take Zhaodi with them. Either let Zhaodi hunt for money for the Liu family in the future, or bring Zhaodi back as the eldest sister-in-law said and stop her from going back to benefit the Lin family. When she reaches the age of 15 next year, she can get a generous betrothal gift. Why not? It's not a loss no matter how you calculate it.
