Farmhouse life after traveling back to ancient times

"Oh, my life is so miserable. My son died early, my wife is unfilial, and now I get beaten even for looking at my granddaughter. God has mercy on me, please take me away..."

Cheng Xiaomei hid behind Du Wenxiu, quietly looked at the old woman, then turned around and ran towards the pharmacy again.

"Oh my." Cheng Xiaomei screamed as soon as she opened the door, covered her eyes and went out. Her face was red, as if it had been steamed.

Du Wenxiu was watching the old woman singing when he heard the call and turned around, only to see Cheng Xiaomei in such a state. He then remembered that Cheng Suying had stripped the young man naked to reduce his fever.

The old woman saw the tightly closed door being opened, but did not see Cheng Suying coming out, and she became suspicious.

He fired a few feints to the left and right, then tried to rush past Du Wenxiu to see what Cheng Suying was doing inside.

But I didn't expect that she was already old and not as flexible as young people.

As she dodged left and right, Du Wenxiu took the opportunity to grab her thin arm and pushed her away.

The old woman fell to the ground again, covered in mud.

"Oh, my poor old woman, my son died early, and I married a daughter-in-law who doesn't come home. What's the point of living?"

She didn't stand up, but sat on the ground and cried loudly.

Cheng Suying also came out of the house at this time, with her sleeves rolled up high, looking confused.

When he saw the old woman, his face darkened, and without saying a word, he turned around and went back into the house.

Du Wenxiu called out to Chang Bo loudly. Chang Bo was chatting with the movers at the door at that moment. Suddenly he heard an old woman crying in the yard, and his heart tightened.

When he heard Du Wenxiu calling him again, his face suddenly changed and he quickly turned around and came to the pharmacy.

Before the person arrived, she saw from afar the usually gentle and polite Madam Cheng coming out of the house with a basin of water and pouring it all over the old woman's head.

The wailing stopped abruptly, and the old woman looked at Cheng Suying in disbelief, with wet drops of water dripping from her hair onto her face.

"How dare you do this to me?" the old woman shouted sharply, her face becoming more and more ferocious.

"This basin of water is what I'm returning to you." Cheng Suying stood on two steps, looking down at her.

The women working in the workshop and the men moving goods at the door heard the noise and came over, surrounding the pharmacy.

"Hey, isn't this the old woman who came to make trouble earlier? She hasn't been here for a long time, why do you dare to come here again today?"

"I saw her hanging around here a few days ago. I don't know if she was begging for mercy from Madam Cheng, so I ignored her."

"She came here to make trouble again today. I think she didn't learn her lesson and didn't learn her lesson."

The women were talking at once, and the people who were hired later were confused, so a kind-hearted woman explained it to them.

The old woman on the ground was grinning and making a fuss. Du Wenxiu said sternly with a cold face:

"This old woman has come to my workshop to cause trouble several times and has refused to change despite repeated admonitions. I'd like to trouble you all to help me tie her up and send her to the county government office. She'll be incarcerated for a few days before she behaves herself."

The old woman suddenly remembered that the owner of this workshop seemed to be related to the county magistrate.

His face turned blue and white, his eyes rolled around a few times, then he got up and rushed out of the crowd.

The women around her who were trying to catch her were not prepared for her agility and could only stare at each other in amazement.

"I've made Madam Du worry about me again." Cheng Suying gritted her teeth and held the basin behind her, a look of hatred on her face.

She had just made up her mind that if the old woman continued to make trouble, she would smash the clay basin in her hand on her head.

Even if she had to get her head broken and her life paid for, she would accept it.

Originally it was for her daughter, but now after spending a long time with Du Wenxiu, she could see that if anything happened to her, her daughter would definitely not suffer any injustice when she was with her.

Just when she had prepared herself mentally, Du Wenxiu was frightened and the old woman ran away, leaving her stunned for a moment with mixed feelings.

Seeing the old woman running away, the people around her also dispersed.

Only Chang Bo stood aside, mumbling something.

"Uncle Chang, next time you must not let this person in, but if she doesn't listen, beat her out. There are many people who have been spying on the secret recipe of our workshop, so we can't be careless."

Du Wenxiu was not annoyed and gave gentle instructions.

As the saying goes, old people become wise, Chang Bo knew what she meant as soon as he heard it and nodded repeatedly.

"Mrs. Du, I know. From now on, if she can come into our courtyard, you can dismiss Old Chang for three months... one month's silver and rice, and Old Chang will have nothing to say."

Du Wenxiu smiled calmly and waved his hand to tell him to go down.

In a blink of an eye, Cheng Suying saw a bitter look on her face. Cheng Xiaomei snuggled up to her, hugged her waist with tears in her eyes.

"I..." Cheng Suying wanted to explain to Du Wenxiu, but she couldn't say a complete sentence.

Du Wenxiu asked first: "How is the child? Is the medicine ready?"

When Cheng Xiaomei heard this, she remembered her job and hurriedly left her mother to look after the stove.

"Madam Du, the medicine will take some time to take effect. Just boil it for a little while longer."

There was a hint of grievance in her clear voice. Du Wenxiu smiled at her and turned to look at Cheng Suying.

"It has subsided a little, but wait until the medicine is ready before feeding it to him." Cheng Suying sighed and went back to the house.

After a while, a voice came from inside asking her to come in.

When Du Wenxiu went in, the young man was already dressed and lying on a simple bed.

"It's not as hot as when it was delivered. I was afraid he would be burned into a fool when it was that hot before." Cheng Suying said.

Du Wenxiu felt a little worried and looked at the young man in front of him.

After washing clean, the boy's face was white, his eyes were closed, his nose was high, and he looked handsome.

Du Wenxiu had never seen Prince Ning or his son, and he didn't know who in his family this young man resembled.

However, the royal family is powerful and does not need to look at anyone's face, so naturally they choose beautiful wives.

As the generations go by, the descendants will become more and more handsome.

Now, just by lying there, one can tell that her demeanor is different from that of ordinary people.

"This child doesn't look like an ordinary person." Cheng Suying frowned slightly.

Du Wenxiu was impressed by her sharpness, but didn't want to explain too much to her.

The less you know about this kind of thing of confiscation of property and extermination of a clan, the better.

Without answering, he walked forward and used the back of his hand to feel the boy's temperature.

As expected, she had retreated a lot more than before, and she smiled gratefully at Cheng Suying.

Seeing that she had nothing to say, Cheng Suying said, "After I cleaned him, I used acupuncture on him. He woke up once in the middle, but I guess he was afraid of needles, and he fainted again when he saw the silver needles."

Du Wenxiu was speechless and even more speechless.

But as long as the fever is gone, it doesn’t matter whether he wakes up or not.

Sister Cheng boiled the medicine and put it in a bowl, then brought it over with a cloth. Du Wenxiu saw it and was about to take it, but Cheng Suying stopped him:

"She held it herself, quite steadily. If you were to take it, one mistake might cause both of you to get burned."

Du Wenxiu stopped and then thought of something and said, "I'll ask Chan'er and my younger sister to make some cotton gloves for me. This way, I won't be afraid of getting burned when I carry medicine in the future."

Cheng Suying looked at her daughter tenderly and said to Du Wenxiu softly, "Why bother the Second Lady? I can do it with her when I am free."
