I traveled through time and space to hunt and support my family in ancient times
Chapter 16 Taking Cai to see a doctor
"Dad, don't work today. Let's find a doctor to check on my mother."
Afraid that Jiang Youshan might be worried that he didn't have enough money, Jiang Yue took out a handful of banknotes from her pocket.
"what."
Jiang Youshan rubbed his panda eyes which were caused by not sleeping well.
"Yue'er, where did you get this?" After seeing clearly what was in his hand, Jiang Youshan's hands began to tremble with excitement. These were silver bills, each weighing ten taels. He could hardly believe his eyes.
Jiang Youshan went to school and knew how to read. This was all thanks to old man Jiang. Old man Jiang had a dream of becoming a scholar. His biggest dream in life was to have a scholar in the Jiang family. Perhaps he still had fatherly love for Jiang Youshan at that time, so when Jiang Youshan was six years old, he was sent to a school in a neighboring village. He studied with Mr. Cui in the school for a year. Later, Liu interfered and stopped his studies.
Jiang Ming took the banknote from his father's hand and looked at it again and again. What did his father write on it?
Jiang Yue sighed, there were times when her eldest brother was not as good as his father.
It seems that she has to go to school someday. In her previous life, she suffered from lack of education and only attended compulsory education. After that, she joined the training team and spent a lot of time to catch up on her cultural knowledge in order to take the coaching certificate exam.
The whole family surrounded Jiang Youshan and listened to him recite...
"Is this money, seventy taels?" Jiang Xue opened her eyes wide and covered her mouth.
"I killed a brown bear and sold it yesterday. This is the proceeds from selling the bear." Jiang Yue explained in a relaxed tone.
She wasn't pretending to be cool. If she told this family how hard hunting was, would they let her go into the mountains again? It turned out that family affection was sometimes a hindrance. Jiang Yue cherished this family and subconsciously didn't want them to worry about her.
Jiang Youshan pushed aside the children who were surrounding him and gave the money to Jiang Yue with trembling hands, "My daughter, take this money. Look at your parents, you can't keep it..." Jiang Youshan sighed inwardly, this was an admission that he was useless.
Jiang Yue thought for a moment and handed the banknote to Jiang Ming, "Here, take it, brother. You will be the head of the family from now on."
My adoptive parents are quite self-aware.
Cai also agreed, "Then save it for tomorrow and take charge of the household tomorrow."
Jiang Ming gritted his teeth and took the banknote. "Sister, should we deposit the money in the bank?"
"See the doctor first, and we'll take care of the rest later."
"It's a big deal to get your mother treated. I'm going to go to the headman's house and tell him I won't be working today. Wait until I come back."
In this way, the six members of the eldest family locked the door and rode on the ox cart at the entrance of the village to the county town. During the slack season, people in the village who had ox carts would drive people to the county town. It was not expensive, only one copper coin per person.
The one driving the cattle was Old Wang who lived at the entrance of the village. On the way, Old Wang chatted: "Youshan, what are you going to do in the county town?"
"Take the child's mother to see a doctor." Jiang Youshan said.
Old Wang was not one to gossip, but the Jiang family's affairs were widely spread. He usually drove a bullock cart and heard a lot. He couldn't help but be curious, "Is your mother willing to pay?"
"My grandmother refused to give me a penny. It was earned by my brother and sister trapping rabbits." Jiang Xue was afraid that his father would tell everyone about the family's affairs. Why did his sister sell the bear directly after hunting it? It was because she was protecting the front yard and didn't want the villagers to know. His eldest brother could trap rabbits, so he could be used as a shield.
Jiang Yue gave him an approving look.
Old man Wang said nothing more. He could earn little money by trapping rabbits. He was afraid that Cai was not in good health and had to see a doctor.
The family arrived in the county town and agreed with Old Wang on the place to wait for the bus home, and first went to Renhetang, the largest pharmacy in the county town.
The doctor was a gray-haired old man who looked so trustworthy. Jiang Ming took out the prescription given by the village doctor and said, "Doctor, I'm treating my mother. Do you think this prescription is appropriate?"
The doctor picked up the prescription and looked at it carefully. Then he looked up at Cai, motioned for Cai to sit down, and began to take his pulse.
"Is the prescription written by Doctor Gu from Wangshan Village?" The doctor in the office saw several people nodding their heads, and then said, "Doctor Gu's prescription is fine. It is the most economical prescription for treating diseases. If you have enough money, you can add Codonopsis pilosula."
Jiang Yue said, "Please add more. There is enough money."
The doctor added Codonopsis pilosula to the prescription and handed it to Jiang Ming, telling him to go get the medicine from the pharmacist. Then he said to Cai: "You have deficiency of both Qi and blood, and liver Qi is blocked and not flowing smoothly..."
He also told Jiang Youshan, "In the future, the child's mother should not work too hard, and should take care of her..."
Jiang Ming, who had picked up the medicine, came back with a large bag of medicine, and the doctor had finished his instructions. The family bowed to the doctor and thanked him, and then left Renhe Hall.
"Big sister, I spent 16 taels on the medicine. Should I save the remaining money?"
"Put the bulk of it in the bank first."
Before the family split up, she had to be on guard against the old woman in the front yard. She didn't provide for household expenses except food. She had to wait until after the family split up to go to school. She had to do many things as quickly as possible.
Jiang Youshan and Cai were buying grain at a grain store. There was a money house right across the street. After saying hello to their parents, Jiang Yue pulled Jiang Ming in.
The two of them deposited the fifty-tael silver note. The money shop brought out a very thick notebook and asked them to sign. Jiang Yue motioned for Jiang Ming to sign. Jiang Ming wrote crookedly. The money shop took it and gave him a small iron plate engraved with the name of the money shop and special patterns, with a few words written on it: Five Hundred and Seventy-Six.
Jiang Yue took a look and realized that this was the membership card number for the future, so it was okay.
"Just bring this sign to withdraw money from now on."
Jiang Ming frowned: "What if someone else picked up the sign and pretended to be me to withdraw money?"
The bank clerk smiled and explained: "If the customer is worried about safety, they can also ask for a token of trust, leave a secret code or something like that."
"What about my eldest sister coming to get the money?"
The clerk at the bank was very patient. "If multiple people want to withdraw money, you can prepare a few more tokens. As long as the code matches, it will be fine. If the token is lost, just let us know in person. The code can also be changed. These tokens are specially made by the bank, and the numbers on them are different, so no one else can claim them."
Jiang Ming praised: "How thoughtful."
"You can't be careless about money business, otherwise your neighbors won't dare to save money."
"Big sister, how about we make a secret signal?"
Jiang Yue glanced at him and said, "How much is this? We'll talk about it later."
Jiang Ming felt ashamed that he was not as successful as his elder sister.
"Brother, from now on, all our family's money will belong to you."
The clerk of the money shop looked at the brother and sister and smiled. What a good family they were, they were of one mind. How many brothers in other families had fought over money.
The two men left the money shop, and Jiang Youshan bought food, oil and salt.
Cai's illness was also treated, and there was food at home, so there was no need to worry. Jiang Youshan was happy all the way carrying the food.
"Dad, let's eat and have lunch before going back." Jiang Yue saw the wonton stall on the side of the road and sat down.
"Okay. Let's take advantage of our daughter and have a good meal." The family of six sat down around a table. Each person ordered a bowl of wontons and ten sesame cakes on the side.
The wontons were freshly wrapped, with thin skin and large fillings. Jiang Yue was still not satisfied after eating one bowl, so she asked for another bowl for each of her family members. Jiang Lei was too small to finish the second bowl, so Jiang Yue took it from him without hesitation and ate three bowls.
Jiang Youshan: What a wonderful day this is.
