Divorce the bad husband, store grain fields, and marry the emperor's uncle for the second time

She whispered to Doctor Chen about Old Lady Qi's condition, "Others can't cure her, probably because they went in the wrong direction. You follow the direction I told you. I'm sure you can cure the old lady's condition."

"Okay, Madam Xia, I'll give it a try."

"You can't just try, you have to do your best to take care of her. Only if you take care of the old lady's illness can I buy his land." Xia Xiaorou said with a serious face.

Doctor Chen sighed inwardly, "Okay, I'll do my best to treat the patient."

He was brought here, and he was not optimistic about the outcome. He was afraid that Xia Xiaorou would not let him go.

Doctor Chen gritted his teeth and followed Mr. Qi to Old Lady Qi's bedroom.

"Doctor Chen, this is my mother. She has been ill for more than a month and we have not been able to find out what caused her illness." Qi Xiucai pointed at Old Mrs. Qi, who was lying on the bed with blurry eyes.

He was not optimistic about this young doctor, but he had been unable to find a good doctor, so he could only give it a try. As long as there was a doctor, he would just wait and see.

Doctor Chen nodded, put the medicine box on the small table beside him, rolled up his sleeves and started to examine Old Mrs. Qi.

After examining her, he explained her condition, "The old lady in the mansion has a heart disease and stagnation of qi and blood. I'll prescribe some medicine for her to calm her mind. You should also give her some advice. For example, if she wants to live in the west room, don't put her in the east room. She doesn't eat red food, so prepare food of other colors. She's old and her speech is unclear. You misunderstood her meaning, so she has no choice but to sulk."

Qi Xiucai was surprised. His mother was suffering from a heart disease? This young doctor was able to guess what his mother had complained about. He was really amazing.

"To be honest, after my father passed away last summer, the house was struck by lightning and a corner collapsed. Although I repaired it at home, it still leaked. I was worried that the house was unlucky, so I arranged for my mother to live somewhere else. But she fell ill as soon as she moved out."

"You think it's unlucky, but this is the house where the old lady has lived for most of her life. She raised Mr. Qi, managed the household chores there, and arranged the huge Qi family in perfect order. It is obvious that the house is an auspicious house. The old lady can't explain it clearly, and she can't argue with you. She has poor legs and feet, so she can only hold a grudge. People who keep worrying about something for a long time will get sick, won't they?" Doctor Chen found that Mr. Qi approved of his treatment according to Xia Xiaorou's instructions. He was overjoyed and followed Mr. Qi's words.

Qi Xiucai slapped his forehead and said, "What you said makes sense. I will arrange for mother to live in the original house."

"The house is leaking a little, it can be repaired, it's not a big problem. The old lady's health is the most important thing." said Doctor Chen.

"Yes, yes, you are right." Qi Xiucai nodded.

At that moment, Qi Xiucai immediately arranged for people to prepare and boil the medicine, and also arranged for people to clean up the house where the old lady used to live.

Try to restore the original old house to its original state.

The old lady saw that she was back in her old house, and her eyes brightened up even before she took her medicine.

After taking the medicine, the old lady was able to look at people with her eyes open and even blink to respond to people.

Mr. Qi was overjoyed and wrote a consultation fee of eight hundred coins to Doctor Chen.

Seeing such a generous consultation fee, Doctor Chen was very happy and decided to follow Xia Xiaorou from now on, because he would charge high prices for all the patients introduced by Xia Xiaorou.

Seeing that Mrs. Qi had recovered some of her spirits, Xia Xiaorou stood up and said goodbye.

At this time, Mr. Qi said, "Mrs. Xia, if you want to buy some land, I can sell you all of my 800 acres."

This is exactly what Xia Xiaorou was waiting for.

Qi Xiucai is a filial son. He has already got a job in the capital, but because of his mother's illness, he can only stay with her in the countryside.

The reason I sold the land this time is to buy a big house in the capital so that I can bring my mother to the capital to enjoy a good life.

The person hired by Xia Xiaorou cured Mrs. Qi's illness. Qi Xiucai was grateful and wanted to sell his land to Xia Xiaorou.

Xia Xiaorou blinked, "But Qi Xiucai, didn't you agree on the price with the other buyer? Is this arrangement okay?"

Qi Xiucai waved his hand and said, "No problem. We didn't sign any documents. It was just a verbal agreement, so it doesn't count. We'll write the document today, so we won't be afraid if she sues the county magistrate."

Xia Xiaorou nodded, "Okay, as long as Qi Xiucai offers a fair price, we can sign the contract now."

Mr. Qi's family has 800 acres of land, and the total price is 5,500 taels of silver.

But all of Xia Xiaorou's property added up to only five hundred taels, so she could only pay a small fraction.

Xia Xiaorou discussed with Qi Xiucai whether they could pay 500 taels first and then pay 5,000 taels three days later.

Qi Xiucai readily agreed because Xia Xiaorou had found a doctor.

"You are Mr. Yan's fiancée. I am willing to accept your IOU." Qi Xiucai said with a smile.

Xia Xiaorou asked in surprise, "Does Qi Xiucai know me?"

"That day, Mr. Yan invited us to a dinner and I went too. Maybe there were too many people and you didn't remember me," said Mr. Qi with a smile.

Xia Xiaorou thought about it and indeed did not notice whether Qi Xiucai went there or not.

There were many people there that day, but Xia Xiaorou did not go with all of them.

Qi Xiucai is an old scholar in the county with a large family and great wealth. Even though Mr. Luo has a smaller fortune, he can go. Therefore, Qi Xiucai, who has more wealth and is a scholar, should also be able to go.

"Qi Xiucai trusts me, I am very grateful. I will pay back the debt as soon as possible." Xia Xiaorou nodded.

After leaving Qi Xiucai's farm, Xia Xiaorou did not go to Yan Heng to borrow money, but went straight home in a carriage.

Song Yanbai went to see Doctor Chen.

Xia Xiaorou came into the house and told Xia Xiaoying about her purchase of 800 acres of land.

Xia Xiaoying was shocked. "Xiaorou, eight hundred acres, that would cost several thousand taels of silver, right? Where did you get the money to buy so much land?"

Xia Xiaorou pursed her lips and said, "I paid five hundred taels, and I'll find a way to pay for the rest."

Seeing her frown, Xia Xiaoying thought for a moment and said, "How about going to find Mr. Yan?"

"I can't ask him. If he pays, won't it become his property? I will still be a woman dependent on him, and I will be laughed at by the people in the capital in the future. Which of the noble ladies in the capital doesn't have a huge dowry? But none of them is as penniless as me."

"But Xiaorou, five thousand taels, where can you borrow it?" Xia Xiaoying couldn't imagine how Xia Xiaorou could raise five thousand taels of silver.

The two sisters were very poor since childhood and had never seen money.

I have never seen thousands of silver coins.

"Sister, don't worry, I have my own ideas." Xia Xiaorou thought of a solution and said with a relaxed expression.

"What method?" Xia Xiaoying blinked and asked curiously.

-

The next morning, Madam Luo brought her men to the Qi family's farm.

Qi Xiucai shook his head, his expression indifferent, "Mrs. Luo paid a little late, and my family was in urgent need of money, so I had no choice but to sell the land to someone else yesterday afternoon."
