I am a woman, I am a man, I want to marry a wife so that I can farm

At this price, they can make about four or five cents per pound. Of course, this is the current price. The price of grain may rise in the future, and the excess is pure profit.

Considering the current grain prices, this price is certainly appropriate.

Ye Ze asked again: "What if we exchange fine grains for the worst quality coarse grains?"

"This..." The shopkeeper hesitated. The price of fine grains has increased, and so has the price of coarse grains. You don't want me to make more money on purpose!

"How about one pound for five pounds?"

After some bargaining, the deal was finally settled at one catty for six catties. The grain shop had to make some profit. Ye Ze agreed to bring some grain over tomorrow for the exchange. Only then did he turn around and leave the grain shop.

Among the three grain shops in the town, the last one offered the highest price, so Ye Ze decided to try changing it first.

After leaving the grain store, Ye Ze was thinking about things while walking. Occasionally, he raised his eyes and thought, "Hey, that figure in the pharmacy looks so familiar. Isn't that my second brother?"

"Second brother,"

Ye Lao Er had just come out of the pharmacy carrying the packed herbs. He hadn't walked a few steps when someone grabbed his arm. He turned around and asked, "Third brother?"

"Second brother, why did you come to the town to get medicine? Who is sick at home?" Ye Ze asked hurriedly.

"It's your sister who's back. Daya has a bad fever. I have to take the medicine back quickly..." Ye Lao Er said with a worried look on his face. He looked around but didn't see Ye Lao Da. He asked again, "Where's Big Brother? Have you finished your work?"

"I asked my eldest brother to buy a ox cart. I don't know if he has bought it now. Come on, let's go back first." Hearing this, Ye Ze didn't care about anything else and walked back holding his second brother's arm.

In this era, a child catching a fever is no small matter, it could be life-threatening, especially since Daya is only one year old. Can she drink such a bitter medicine?

Ye Ze has the memories and emotions of the original owner. When his sister is mentioned, a gentle smiling face unconsciously appears in Ye Ze's mind.

After the original owner's father passed away, Ye Ze dropped out of school and the Ye family owed a lot of foreign debts. When the Ye family was in the most difficult time, the Qian family, who had originally arranged a marriage with Ye Qiulan, took the opportunity to come to the Ye family and cancel the marriage between Qian Dahu and Ye Qiulan.

Ye Qiulan was sixteen years old when her engagement was broken off. If it weren't for the unexpected change in her family, she would have gotten married that year. After the family situation stabilized, Old Lady Ye ran around every day asking matchmakers in the nearby villages to be matchmakers for Ye Qiulan, for fear of delaying her daughter's lifelong event.

At the same time, she was worried about her youngest son's marriage, fearing that the Zhao family would come to her house to cancel the engagement. Because of this, Old Lady Ye's hair turned white with worry.

Ye Qiulan was a woman whose reputation was ruined when the man came to her house to break off the engagement. The men introduced to Ye Qiulan were worse than the other. Some of them were disabled, some were widows with children, or some were ugly and could not find a wife. Old Lady Ye looked down on any of them.

Later, a matchmaker introduced her to Zhang Dongsheng, the third son of the Zhang family.

He is in good health and has no disabilities. He is eighteen years old and still unmarried. He has thick eyebrows and big eyes. He is an honest and filial person, and he is not ugly.

Old Lady Ye was quite satisfied with the Zhang family's arrangement, except for one thing: the Zhang family was poor and could not afford much betrothal gift. In addition, the Zhang family had a younger son who was more favored and was sixteen years old this year. After Zhang Dongsheng got married, she would have to take care of the younger son's marriage, so Zhang Dongsheng's mother meant not to give any betrothal gift.

Old Mrs. Ye had no choice but to accept her daughter's decision. Although the Zhang family did not give any dowry, Zhang Dongsheng was a normal man who had never been married and he was not bad looking, so she agreed.

This marriage that seemed to satisfy everyone was actually the beginning of Ye Qiulan's misfortune. After the original owner knew that his sister was often bullied by her mother-in-law, she secretly warned Zhang Dongsheng twice to treat his sister well. Zhang Dongsheng agreed on the surface, but actually did not make any changes at all.

He's just a wimp, he does whatever his mother says!

Ye Ze thought of this person and was filled with anger. He asked Ye Lao Er as he walked: "Second brother, how did Daya get a fever? Is there no one in the Zhang family to take care of it?"

Ye Lao Er was anxious and didn't care about what Ye Ze said about buying a bullock cart. He said in a muffled voice: "I don't know the details. You can go back and take a look first."

When they were almost at the town entrance, they happened to run into Boss Ye who was driving a ox cart. The two of them jumped directly onto the cart and asked Boss Ye to drive faster.

On the way, Ye Lao Er briefly told Ye Lao Da about Ye Qiulan's return.

......

At home, Ye Qiulan held the child, while Zhao Li and Lin fed warm water to the little girl. The little girl had difficulty swallowing and the water spilled outside. The two sisters-in-law were so anxious that they wished they could suffer for her and could only feed the warm water into the child's mouth little by little.

Ye Qiulan finally recovered, but seeing this, her eyes could not help but turn red. She hugged her daughter in her arms and gently stroked the child's thin face with heartache.

In the kitchen, Chen prepared the medicine pots for boiling medicine, and then kept looking out the courtyard gate to see if the person who got the medicine had returned.

When the ox cart was about to reach the door of her house, Chen couldn't help but shout loudly: "Hurry up, you are finally back."

Ye Lao Er jumped off the ox cart, trotted a few steps to Chen, and handed her the herbs he had caught: "Go and boil them quickly."

"Yes." Chen turned around and ran straight to the kitchen with the medicine bag.

After returning home, the three brothers went into the old lady's room to see the children. Seeing that the women in the room all had red eyes, they knew that they must have cried.

When Boss Ye saw this scene, he sighed helplessly and turned to leave. He couldn't help at all in the room and it was painful to watch.

Ye Lao Er also followed out. The two brothers looked at each other, neither of them said anything, and squatted outside the door in depression.

Ye Ze walked silently to Ye Qiulan. She held the child in her arms and patted his back gently. The little kid had a pale face and his eyes were closed.

Ye Ze reached out and touched the child's hot forehead and couldn't help frowning. If it were modern times, this problem could be solved with a packet of antipyretic medicine, but this was ancient times where medical technology was very backward.

Just now on the way, Ye Ze used his consciousness to buy some antipyretic drugs in the mall, but he still needed to think of an excuse to feed them to the child.

"It will take some time for my second sister-in-law to make the medicine. I have some special powder for reducing fever. Why don't you give it to the child first?"

Ye Qiulan looked up at her younger brother: "Is there such a medicine?"

"Well," Ye Ze said seriously, "Sis, believe me, this medicine is very effective. Let's try it on Yaya, okay?"

Ye Qiulan nodded. No matter what, she would never harm Yaya. Although she had never heard of the medicine, it didn't mean it didn't exist.

"Then I'll go make the powder."

Ye Ze said this and turned to go out. After a while he came back into the house with a bowl in his hand. There was only water in the bowl. It was white and not turbid, and there was no smell of any herbs.
