Farmhouse life after traveling back to ancient times
Chapter 135 Talking about money
"Yeah." Cheng Suying choked up and said, "Now that I have fallen into this situation, I thought I was lucky to have a meal. I didn't expect to meet Madam Du and Madam An..."
As she said this, she bent her knees and was about to kneel, but Du Wenchan and Yue Niang hurried forward to hold her back, not allowing her to kneel.
"Madam Cheng is a capable person. She doesn't think our temple is too small and is willing to condescend to us. People who eat all kinds of grains will definitely get sick."
"With Madam Cheng here, we feel so at ease." Du Wenxiu said, and took her out.
I walked outside and saw people coming and going in the busy workshop. There was no idle person and everyone was struggling to make a living.
This is the world of fireworks.
"Madam Cheng, the three large houses over there were originally built for those who would need someone to keep watch at night in the future."
"It has a warehouse and a rest area. I wonder where you live and how far away from the workshop you live? Who else is there at home?"
Du Wenxiu asked Cheng Suying.
She walked forward and looked at a house in the distance. It seemed to be divided into compartments, and she was satisfied.
Hearing Du Wenxiu's question, he quickly answered, "My family lives in Nanxia City, renting a house from someone else. I have a young daughter at home, so I've asked a neighbor to take care of her."
Cheng Suying's words were vague, and Yue Niang couldn't help wondering: "Madam Cheng only has one daughter in her family, so what about the others?"
It's not that Yue Niang is trying to pick on other people's pain points, but as the host, and since they are all women, it would be better for her to understand them more clearly.
Cheng Suying blushed slightly and murmured, "I lost my father when I was young and grew up in Ci'an Hall. Later, I married into a family to bring good luck, but they said I had brought bad luck to my husband, so I was driven out by my husband's family."
"Since I learned medicine from the maids at Ci'an Hall since I was young, they allowed me to stay in Ci'an Hall."
"Because she was pregnant when she was driven out, she was taken back not long after. After she gave birth to a daughter, she was despised because it was not a boy, and was beaten and scolded every day."
"I was afraid that the child would be beaten to death at such a young age, so I asked to leave the family and took the child to Ci'an Hall to practice medicine."
"Then the Liu family incident happened again, and Ci'an Hall didn't dare to keep me. They only promised me some money and asked my mother and I to move out."
Her voice is light and has a quiet power.
Du Wenchan burst into tears after hearing this: She had only said that her fate was unfortunate, but this Madam Cheng was even worse.
Even Yue Niang, such a strong person, had tears in her eyes.
Du Wenxiu sighed and reached out to hold Cheng Suying's arm. She was a little stunned and looked up at Du Wenxiu. Seeing the pity in her eyes, she smiled slightly.
"In fact, our life started to become difficult after we got out. Many people heard about my story and despised my mother and me as unlucky people. They tried every means to drive us away."
"The owner of the house I rented, Grandma Zhang, took pity on me and allowed me to live there. She also helped me take care of the children so that I could find a job."
"It's a pity that it's hard to find a job. My money is running out day by day, and my daughter is sick again. Even if I can treat illnesses, I don't have the money to buy medicine. I happened to see a workshop recruiting workers, so I came here to try my luck."
"I am extremely grateful to the bosses for hiring me. I want to do a good job..."
But I was bullied by the woman in the workshop again——
In fact, this was not the first time she had encountered such a thing. She knew that it was because people in the world were ignorant and could not accept her method.
But human life is at stake, and if it happens again, she will still make the same choice.
"Everything will be fine after this. Madam Cheng, you can bring the child over and let him settle down in the workshop." Du Wenchan said while sobbing and comforting Cheng Suying.
"Yes, there are three rooms, one for living, one for seeing patients, and one for making medicine. When we earn money later, we will build you a better one."
Yue Niang also came up to comfort her, saying that this person's life was too bitter, and that someone like her who was under the care of her brother and sister-in-law could not understand it. How could one be strong inside?
What's more, there is such good medical skills——
"Mrs. Cheng, from whom did you learn the method of operating the birth canal?" Du Wenxiu asked.
Cheng Suying felt a chill in her heart, thinking, what is coming will eventually come.
He bowed and saluted, then said, "This method was not taught to me by anyone else, but I learned it from an unknown and incomplete medical book in Ci'an Hall."
"At the time I just thought it was magical and interesting. When I saw my aunt was in critical condition that day, I couldn't help but think too much and used it. Fortunately, she was fine, otherwise I would..."
Du Wenxiu nodded slightly.
Although it was a risky action, the mother and daughter were safe afterwards, which shows that Cheng Suying was brave and careful, and she made sure that she took care of all the necessary details.
Cheng Suying looked hesitant again: "Madam Cheng, do you have any unresolved concerns?"
"No, no, not at all." Cheng Suying said hurriedly, and then hesitated for a while before saying, "It's just that my reputation has already spread. If I practice medicine in the workshop, I'm afraid they won't dare to come to see me..."
Du Wenxiu and the others burst out laughing and said, "If no one dares to come and see us, Madam Cheng will just take care of our family."
Cheng Suying blushed and said, "I have a suggestion, and I hope Madam Du and Madam An will discuss it."
Yue Niang was puzzled and asked, "Mrs. Cheng, just speak directly and don't overthink it."
Cheng Suying looked at her and nodded, "I work at Ci'an Hall and receive a salary of 500 wen per month..."
Cheng Suying's face became redder and redder, and Du Wenxiu suddenly realized.
"Madam Cheng, do you want to get this much from me?"
Five hundred coins would allow you to hire a female doctor who could save lives. This deal is simply too good to be true.
Du Wenxiu and Yue Niang looked at each other and nodded.
Cheng Suying said, "Yes, I hope the three ladies will not blame me for not being ungrateful. I have arranged a place for you to live and yet you still expect a salary..."
"How could that be? You can't hire a master like Madam Cheng for 500 coins, but we are the ones who got a great bargain." Yue Niang said bluntly.
Her words made Cheng Suying smile a little more, and her face became more lively.
"Here's what I thought. Since I've received the salary from the three ladies, I don't need to charge the consultation fee when I see the patients like the people in the workshop. But I still have to pay for the medicine. If I don't charge, I'm afraid that some greedy people will sell the unused herbs, which will be a loss for the workshop."
As she spoke, she looked at the three of them. Seeing that they listened to her seriously and nodded slightly, she smiled and said:
"In the future, if someone from outside asks me to see a doctor, no matter how much the consultation fee or medicine fee is, I will not take it. I will just take the salary."
"That's impossible." Du Wenxiu flatly denied it and shook his head.
"Mrs. Cheng is a skilled practitioner, unlike the apprentice. If we can only afford to pay Mrs. Cheng 500 coins a month, it is because our family is poor and we dare not ask for a higher salary."
"If someone from outside comes to buy medicine and see a doctor in the future, and we still have to take the money, I'm afraid we won't be able to keep Madam Cheng for a few days, which is really inappropriate."
Cheng Suying smiled and said, "Now that you ladies have kept me, you are like a second parent to me. How dare I do something ungrateful and look for another way out once I find a better job?"
"Madam Du may not underestimate me, Cheng Suying."
Du Wenxiu looked at her and said sternly, "Anyway, this matter won't work, Madam Cheng, please don't talk about it anymore. But we can discuss the profit sharing of the consultation fee and medicine fee in the future."
"If Madam Cheng is willing, we can discuss it carefully."
