Divorce the bad husband, store grain fields, and marry the emperor's uncle for the second time
Chapter 99 How many secrets does this woman have?
"I have forty acres of land, but I can't find any cows to plow the land, so I want to borrow some horses to help me," Xia Xiaorou said.
Hu Kui waved his hand and said, "Madam Xia, as long as you take care of my son's cough, I will not only lend you a horse, but also a plow."
Song Yanbai stretched his neck to look at the horses, feeling both surprised and delighted, because there were about thirty or forty horses.
And they are all strong.
If we borrow all of this, we can plow the whole field in one day.
Shan Niang also admired Xia Xiaorou a little. It was really impressive that a woman from the village could know people from other villages.
Xia Xiaorou pointed at Doctor Chen and said, "He will definitely cure Master Hu's son's cough."
Doctor Chen frowned and whispered to Xia Xiaorou, "Madam Xia, don't brag. What if I can't cure it?"
Doctor Chen was timid and did not dare to treat complicated diseases, but he could not earn much money from treating simple diseases. He noticed that Mr. Hu's son had a ruddy complexion and did not seem to have a cold or cough, so he became unsure and wanted to back out.
"Don't treat it as a cold. His son's cough is not caused by a cold." Xia Xiaorou reminded in a low voice.
Doctor Chen opened his eyes wide, "If it's not a cold, then what is it? Madam Xia, do you know?"
No wonder the child has a rosy complexion and is in good spirits.
"He choked on his food, so he kept coughing," said Xia Xiaorou.
"Ah? So that's how it is... My father once treated a child who choked on a piece of vegetable leaf. The child had been coughing for several days but couldn't get it to come out. In the end, he was cured with acupuncture." When Doctor Chen heard that the child had just choked on food, he gained some confidence.
"Then you can treat him according to your father's method." Xia Xiaorou said, "This Hu Zhuangzi is not a bandit. His real identity is a bodyguard. He practices martial arts and stores weapons because he is worried about robbers robbing his bodyguard. If you cure his son, he will go out as a bodyguard and spread your name. More patients will come to you, and you will become rich, right?" Xia Xiaorou suggested in a low voice.
Doctor Chen's confidence was boosted, "Okay, I'll try."
Following Xia Xiaorou's suggestion, Doctor Chen did not treat Hu Kui's son with a prescription for treating colds, but instead used silver needles to prick several of the child's acupuncture points.
Half an hour later, the child's qi and blood flowed smoothly. He coughed violently a few times, and a grain of rice sprayed out of his mouth.
After coughing it out, he coughed a few more times, and even tears came out.
Hu Kui asked worriedly, "Why are you coughing so badly?"
Doctor Chen waved his hand and asked for a bowl of warm water to feed the child.
After Hu Kui's child took it, he exhaled, "Dad, I feel much better."
"Really? You don't feel uncomfortable anymore?" Hu Kui hugged his son, looked left and right, and found that his son said a few words and stopped coughing.
In the past, he would start coughing violently after saying a few words, and would cough more than ten times, with the sound so severe that it was heartbreaking.
But now, the child spoke several sentences without coughing.
Hu Kui was surprised and happy.
"I don't feel uncomfortable anymore. I feel my breathing is normal and my chest doesn't itch anymore." said Hu Kui's son.
Doctor Chen said, "Master Hu, your son didn't have a cold, he just choked on food, which is why he keeps coughing. Fortunately, he was rescued in time and is not seriously injured." He pointed to the rice grains that fell on the ground, "Look, he choked on a grain of rice."
Hu Kui slapped his forehead and said, "So it was due to choking. No wonder it couldn't be cured by treating it as a cold. Does it need medicine?" Hu Kui asked again.
"Take some conditioning and anti-inflammatory medicine, quit spicy food, and rest for two days." Doctor Chen said, he took out the paper and pen he carried with him and wrote down a prescription.
Hu Kui ordered someone to get medicine.
He happily bowed to Doctor Chen and Xia Xiaorou and said, "Thank you, Doctor Chen, for curing my child's illness. I will definitely reward you handsomely."
He shouted to his wife, "Mother, quickly get five hundred coins and give them to Doctor Chen."
Mrs. Hu held her son's face and looked at him from left to right. She was very happy to find that he had returned to normal. She readily took out five hundred coins and handed them to Doctor Chen.
Doctor Chen was so surprised that he kept saying thank you, but he was very happy in his heart. Madam Xia was really a lucky person. She helped him earn five hundred coins today.
Hu Kui said, "Madam Xia, I am a man of my word. Since you cured my son, you can lend me the horse. I wonder which village you live in so I can arrange for someone to send the horse over."
"No problem, Master Hu." Xia Xiaorou nodded, "We are from Shuangliu Village, Sanlidian Township. But I don't need many horses. Just lend me ten horses. I'll return them to you in three days."
"Okay." Hu Kui nodded and said to the two men beside him, "Sanbao, Sishun, go find some plows and bring them to Madam Xia. You can also go and help."
"Okay, Master." The two men nodded and went to lead the horses.
Soon, ten strong horses were led in front of Xia Xiaorou, and several people came carrying four plows.
Xia Xiaorou thanked them, and left with Shanliang, Dr. Song Yanbai, Chen, and the people arranged by Hu Kui, leading the horses and pulling the plows.
They returned to the farm in Yanyuan.
The gatekeeper saw Xia Xiaorou coming back with her horse and two strange men, and looked curiously at Shanliang who followed them.
"Madam Xia borrowed the horse, and these two people are here to look after it. Let them in." Shanliang waved to the gatekeeper.
Upon learning that it was the person Xia Xiaorou brought back, the gatekeeper immediately let him pass.
It is already late today, so we can only keep the horses in Yanyuan and plow the fields tomorrow.
Xia Xiaorou said to the two men who followed her, "It's getting dark. We don't need help today. We will start plowing the land tomorrow morning."
The two of them asked about the time to go to the fields tomorrow and then went back.
The horse was brought into Yanyuan, and there was no need for Xia Xiaorou to look after it, as there were people in Yanyuan who would take care of it. She took Song Yanbai and Doctor Chen and left Yanyuan.
Shanliang arranged the horse and went to the back house to meet Yan Heng.
Yan Heng narrowed her eyes and looked at Shanliang, "She found Hu Kui from the Hu Ma Escort Agency?"
"Yes, I borrowed ten horses." Shanliang said.
Yan Heng arranged for him to find Xia Xiaorou. He thought Xia Xiaorou would cause trouble, so Yan Heng asked him to keep an eye on Xia Xiaorou.
Unexpectedly, Xia Xiaorou didn't need his help at all and actually borrowed the horse back.
Yan Heng fell into deep thought, "How did she know Hu Kui?"
How many secrets does this woman have?
……
Xia Xiaorou had ten horses and borrowed three plows from the villagers.
Two horses pulled a plow, and in two and a half days, all the fields were plowed.
Mrs. Luo was very surprised to hear the news.
"Madam Luo, that Madam Xia doesn't seem to be an ordinary person. She actually borrowed ten horses at once. I heard that she tilled the land in two and a half days. Young Master Yan even praised her for her ability." The follower of Awang's family reported to Madam Luo.
Mrs. Luo's plan failed, and she was upset, "I know, I don't want you to say anything more."
Awang's family was afraid of Mrs. Luo, so they immediately shut up.
Another follower came to Xi's house, looked at Mrs. Luo's face, and asked, "What should we do next?"
Fourth Miss Wen said that if Xia Xiaorou was not driven away by Yan Heng, they would not be able to return to the capital.
But their families are all in Beijing. They have lived here for 10 to 20 years. If they are not allowed to return to Beijing, what will they do for the rest of their lives?
Miss Wen is a woman of her word, and they dare not disobey her.
