The fragrance of medicine is alluring, the farm elder sister is cool and cool

Wen Qingcheng's throat was almost smoking. She picked up the teapot and poured a cup of water to drink. Only then did she feel better.

"Mr. Liu is much better today. He gave me money for a course of treatment. I have to give him acupuncture in the next few days. After I treated him, I went shopping in the county town with Sister Hongxiu for a day. That's why I came back late."

Ye Xiuying was afraid that Qingcheng had made things worse for him, so she heaved a sigh of relief when she heard that Master Liu was much better. "Let's go again tomorrow."

"Yes, I have already charged for a course of treatment, so of course I have to complete the whole course of treatment for you."

"You kid, you are the second uncle of your sister-in-law Zhao. Why are you going to help? How can you accept money from him?"

"Mom, if it's just once, it's okay. But later on, you have to take time out to go to the county town every day. This way, after you collect the consultation fee, people will feel at ease."

"You've made some money as a self-taught person. If your father knew, he would have changed his career to study medicine like you." Ye Xiuying paused, and when she saw Wen Qingcheng bringing back two large bags, she asked, "How much money did you make today? What did you buy?"

At this time, Chuyi and Zicheng also came in. When they saw the things on the table, Zicheng stood on tiptoe and opened all the packages on the table. He was stunned when he saw the dazzling array of boxes of all sizes.

"Mom, these are the clothes I bought for you, for inner wear. There are also two sets of ready-made clothes. I know you like plain colors, so I bought you a dress embroidered with orchids, one set in sky blue and one in aqua green." Wen Qingcheng picked up the clothes and compared them to Ye Xiuying.

Ye Xiuying reached out and touched the soft and silky fabric, her lips moved as she said, "How much does this cost? I didn't wear anything this nice when I got married."

"Sister, what is this?" Zicheng picked up a big box.

"This is for you." Wen Qingcheng helped him unpack it, and inside were wooden swords, ponies and other handmade toys. Zicheng's eyes, as big as black beans, lit up instantly.

"Long live big sister." Zicheng was almost moved to tears, and was about to go to his room to play with the box of toys.

"Let's play later. There's some food here. Go wash your hands and play after dinner." Wen Qingcheng took out another set of clothes and handed it to Chuyi.

"Chuyi, these are yours, along with your shoes, in your size. Start wearing new clothes tomorrow."

"Chuyi also has new clothes to wear." Chuyi took it, looking excited and a little exaggerated.

Ye Xiuying looked at the clothes that Wen Qingcheng bought for Chuyi. They were all made of satin. Only rich young men in the county would wear them.

"Qingcheng, where did you get so much money?"

"Mom, guess how much money I made today."

"Generally, a village doctor charges 15-20 wen for each acupuncture session. You charged him several times at once, so it should be 100 wen at most."

"75." Wen Qingcheng said mysteriously.

"Oh, 75 is fine. You are a relative of your sister-in-law Zhao. You have to let her see the favor. Just charge less."

"Mom, do you think it's 75 cents? It's 75 taels." Wen Qingcheng smiled.

After hearing this, Ye Xiuying was a little bit incredulous. Even rich people wouldn't be so rich that they could just give 75 taels of silver. This was enough for their family of four to live on for seven or eight years.

"Qingcheng, we can't be like this. Practicing medicine and saving lives is a good deed. How can we rip people off just because they are rich?"

Wen Qingcheng had expected Ye Xiuying to say this, so she told the whole story again and gave the remaining 74 taels of silver to Ye Xiuying.

"Oh my God, this money came too easily and too timely." Ye Xiuying took the money, feeling a little overwhelmed.

In the afternoon, she was still calculating the materials needed to build a house. She roughly estimated that it would cost a lot of silver, not including the labor. She was thinking about not rebuilding it and just doing some simple repairs. Unexpectedly, in just a few hours, her daughter earned her so much money. This was not the money-losing girl that the Wen family had been calling her since she was a child. This was simply a fortune-making girl.

Zicheng, who was standing by, kept poking the barbecue wrapped in oil paper with his fingers, his saliva was watering with greed.

Wen Qingcheng touched his head and said, "Mom, put the money away quickly. Let's eat first. I bought roasted pork belly, braised pork elbow, pickled goose, and boiled chicken."

The family sat around the table, their bellies full after eating. Zicheng couldn't wait to pull Chuyi to play with his new toys.

Chuyi played with Zicheng absentmindedly, glancing at Wen Qingcheng from time to time. Zicheng was completely immersed in his own world and didn't notice Chuyi's perfunctory attitude.

Ye Xiuying and Wen Qingcheng turned off the lights, opened the curtains, and talked in the moonlight while lying side by side on the bed.

"Qingcheng, mother originally wanted to just renovate the new house and then move in. We wanted to leave some money for future living, but we were also afraid that if we spent all the money to build a new house at once, your grandmother would think we had a lot of private money and then they would make trouble."

"We have enough money now, and I can earn more in the future. Although there are not many people like Mr. Liu, I can always make money."

"Yes, I think the house over there has been abandoned for too long. It's time to rebuild it, otherwise it will be too dangerous when it rains or it's windy." Ye Xiuying pondered for a moment and continued, "As for your grandma and them, you can think whatever you want. We can spend the money we earn legally as we like."

Wen Qingcheng looked at Ye Xiuying with relief. The old mother finally came to her senses.

"That's right, if you make money but are afraid to spend it, what's the point? The purpose of making money is to make our lives better."

"Well, I've let it go now. Your uncle and the others looked down on me, so I'll let them see that a woman like me can build a new house and live a colorful life. The daughter I raise is not a money-loser. She is a thousand times better than his daughter."

"Then let's start hiring craftsmen tomorrow. Don't skimp on materials. This house can be lived in by several generations, so it must be built solidly and safely."

"Your third uncle's cousin knows someone who builds houses. He's a reliable guy. Ask him to invite a few people from the village to help. It will be built soon."

The mother and daughter imagined their future life. Chuyi and Zicheng came in one after another. Zicheng was outside the window and heard that a new house was going to be built. He was also very excited. He lay on Wen Qingcheng's arms and asked in a baby voice: "Sister, do we have to build a new house when we get married?"

"Yes." Wen Qingcheng smiled like an auntie, thinking that a kid this young still knew what it meant to get married.

"Why."

"Why do you think so? Birds need to build nests to hatch eggs, you silly boy." After Ye Xiuying finished speaking, the whole family laughed, and Chuyi also laughed foolishly.

Ye Xiuying didn't expect that this day would come so soon. They had their own homestead and were going to build their own new house. She didn't dare to think about it when her husband was alive, but now she has achieved it thanks to her good daughter.

In the past, the old lady always scolded her daughter for being a money-loser and wanted to sell her for three taels of silver. But just wait and see, after the new house is built, their family's life will get better and better, and they will know what kind of treasure the so-called money-loser is.
