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

After breakfast the next day, the family went their separate ways. Ye Xiuying took a piece of cloth to her third uncle's house and asked her third uncle's son Wen Zhuo to help contact craftsmen and get building materials.

Wen Qingcheng was woken up by Li Hongxiu early in the morning. The Liu family's carriage had already arrived. Wen Qingcheng was wearing the new dress she bought yesterday, holding a hairpin in her hand, and she casually tied her hair into a single bun as she walked and got on the carriage.

The village usually uses ox carts and donkey carts, and the horse carts are only used to carry goods. No one has ever seen such a clean horse cart. Everyone stretched their necks to see who was making such a grand show.

A gust of wind blew, blowing up the curtains of the carriage. People who were watching the fun came over to take a look, and when they saw Wen Qingcheng in bright clothes, they all looked as if they wanted to glue their eyes to her.

"That's the second girl from the Wen family, right? Is that the little mute?"

"Her family was divided up and they didn't even have any land. They were extremely poor."

"Who is driving the carriage? There is no such a good carriage in our village. Could it be a relative of hers?"

"Come on, forget it. I heard that Ye Xiuying came to our village to escape famine and married the poorest man, Wen Liang. If she had a rich relative, she would have run away long ago."

"If they are not relatives, then what are they? Could it be that Third Master Wen has found another rich man for his niece?"

This statement caused another round of laughter. This topic will remain a hot topic in Yueya Village for a year or so.

When they arrived at Liu's house, Mr. Liu was already playing with birds in the yard. When he saw Wen Qingcheng, he walked up to her with a smile and said, "Doctor Wen, I drank the medicine you prescribed after you left yesterday. This morning, I saw that my feet were no longer red or swollen, and I slept through the night."

"Uncle, you look much better today." Li Hongxiu felt even happier when she saw that Mr. Liu looked energetic.

"Hong Xiu, you know such a good doctor, why didn't you invite him earlier? If you had come earlier, I would have suffered less for so many years."

"Sister Qingcheng seldom went out before, and I had rarely seen her until I heard that she cured her mother Ruyan, and she saved Huzi. I saw her medical skills, so I invited her to treat you."

"It's amazing that he can even cure Ru Yan. Doctor Wen is so skilled at medicine at such a young age. His future is definitely limitless."

Wen Qingcheng waved her hand modestly: "No, there are always people better than you, I can only treat some common diseases."

Master Liu's impression of Wen Qingcheng became better and better. "Doctor Wen is humble and tolerant. He will definitely be invaluable in the future."

Wen Qingcheng smiled. It was fine to just listen to the compliments from others, but not to lose herself in them. Thinking that she had to rush home early to work on the house building, she changed the topic to Mr. Liu's illness.

Mr. Liu lay down on the recliner in the inner hall "experiencedly", took off his shoes and socks, and waited quietly for Wen Qingcheng to give him acupuncture.

It was still early after the acupuncture. Mr. Liu was in good spirits today and insisted on keeping Wen Qingcheng and Li Hongxiu for dinner.

Wen Qingcheng didn't want to have too many personal relationships with the patients. She just wanted to maintain a normal doctor-patient relationship and didn't want to eat together.

"No, Mr. Liu, you should have a good rest. I have things to do at home." Wen Qingcheng declined politely, and Li Hongxiu did not stay for dinner. She came home late last night, which made her mother-in-law blame her. It would be better for her to go home early today.

When she returned to Yueya Village, she saw Chuyi looking out the door from afar. Wen Qingcheng felt warm in her heart when she saw someone thinking about her.

Ye Xiuying had already prepared the food and boiled water. When she saw Wen Qingcheng coming back, she asked her to stay on the ground, brought the washbasin over, and prepared the towel.

"Qingcheng, you are now the great contributor to the family. Just sit still and eat."

"Mom, what kind of great hero is this? Making money is a great hero? Mom is busy every day, doing housework, these chores are the most exhausting. And Chuyi, he takes on the heavy work at home, working hard without complaint, everyone is important."

"What about me?" Zicheng asked hurriedly when he heard his elder sister say that everyone is important but did not mention his name.

"Zicheng has brought joy to our family. He is a good brother and a good son. He has participated in our life journey and made us feel happier."

Although Zicheng didn't understand whether he had any contribution, his elder sister said that everyone was happy with him around. He grinned, revealing a row of glutinous little teeth.

......

For two consecutive days, Wen Qingcheng took the Liu family's carriage to the county town to give acupuncture to Mr. Liu. By the last day of the treatment, the swelling on Mr. Liu's affected area had completely subsided.

After Wen Qingcheng finished the last acupuncture treatment, she told Mr. Liu that he had recovered, but he still needed to continue taking herbal medicine to consolidate the treatment.

"Master Liu, this disease is not easy to cure. You must strictly avoid certain foods for the next one or two years. Otherwise, it would be like repairing a wall while tearing it down. The treatment would be in vain."

"Doctor Wen, the things you mentioned as dietary restrictions are all my favorite foods. If I can't eat this or that, what's the point of living?" Master Liu resisted with some dissatisfaction, like an old child.

"It doesn't mean you should stop eating for the rest of your life. Once the disease is completely cured, you can eat appropriately."

"If I don't take medicine anymore, do I still have to avoid certain foods?" Mr. Liu knew that one needs to avoid certain foods when taking medicine, so why shouldn't he be allowed to take the medicine if he doesn't want to take it anymore?

"If you eat the foods I told you not to eat, you will produce a large amount of uric acid, which will aggravate your condition."

Wen Qingcheng paused. She didn't want to say too much, but she was afraid that the patient didn't understand the principle and wouldn't follow the doctor's advice. Not only would the treatment be in vain, but her reputation would also be ruined. So she continued to explain patiently.

"Your disease is caused by the high uric acid level, which leads to the deposition of uric acid crystals in the joints."

"Uric acid? Then I won't eat acid. This is the first time I've heard of you saying that."

"It's not that you can't eat sour foods, just don't eat the ones I told you to."

"Okay, now I understand what you said. I must avoid certain foods. It was only after meeting Doctor Wen that I finally understood my illness."

Master Liu called the servant over with a red lacquered wooden box. "Doctor Wen, I am sorry to trouble you to cure my illness during this period of time. This is a thank you gift, please accept it."

"Mr. Liu, you are too polite. It's my duty." Wen Qingcheng knew that he had specially prepared a thank-you gift, so she did not refuse and reached out to take it.

Arriving at the county pier and boarding the boat back to Crescent Village, Wen Qingcheng couldn't help but curiously open the box and take a look. Inside was sparkling silver and full of gold ingots.

Wen Qingcheng quickly closed the box, looked around to see that no one was noticing her, got off the boat, and ran home holding the box.

When Wen Qingcheng returned home, Ye Xiuying was out. She was probably still at her third uncle's house discussing building a house with her cousin Wen Zhuo.

Near noon, Ye Xiuying came back and was surprised to see Wen Qingcheng already back. "Qingcheng, you're back so early today."

"Master Liu recovered from his illness and gave me a thank-you gift. I didn't go anywhere and just came back directly."

"Mr. Liu is too polite. He gave you so much for the consultation fee and also gave you a thank-you gift. How much did he give you as a thank-you gift?"

Wen Qingcheng nodded at the box on the table: "It's all in there."

Ye Xiuying opened the box and her eyes lit up immediately, "This... this is too much."

Ye Xiuying counted and found that there were 10 taels of silver. Adding the 75 taels of medical fee given by Mr. Liu before, and the or taels of money earned from selling medicinal materials, there were more than taels now.

She suddenly felt like she had suddenly become rich. She thought that this time she would not only build one house, but also several rooms, a chicken coop, and a large vegetable plot.

Aren't the people at the Wen family's old house waiting to laugh at her, thinking that she will be unable to make ends meet and will run to them for begging? Let them regret it.
