After the evil sister took over, all the best went crazy

Chapter 24: Miaomiao has feelings for Jinhong?

When Su Rongrong heard Baili Zheng say it was not cheap, she prepared herself mentally.

"I will buy it, no matter how much it costs."

Baili Zheng said: "A bottle of flawless ointment costs one hundred taels, and a bottle of bone-replenishing ointment costs fifty taels. These are the prices my family got the medicine for.

Because of my cousin's relationship, I'll give you a 20% discount, and you give me 120 taels."

After that, he added: "I know you don't have that much money now, you can write an IOU."

Even though Su Rongrong had prepared herself mentally, she still couldn't help but gasp when she heard the price was over one hundred taels.

Fortunately, she didn't have to take out the money right away, but could write an IOU first.

She knew that it was Baili Zheng who was taking care of them, so she expressed her gratitude:

"Thank you, Master Baili. I know it wasn't easy for you to get this medicine.

Since the original price is that much, there is no need for me to ask you to pay the thirty taels for nothing.

But you also know my family's current situation, can I pay you back in five years?"

If she still can't make that much in five years, she will sell some things in the space.

Don’t sell it now if you can!

Otherwise, it would be difficult for her to explain where the money came from.

Baili Zheng had no intention of getting money from Su Rongrong, so when he heard about the installment over five years, he readily agreed.

"Well, the silver is the 120 taels I mentioned. You can give it to me when you have more money."

After saying this, he left a message saying "please wait a moment" and went out.

When he came back, he was holding a square brocade box in his hand.

Soon the brocade box was opened in front of Su Rongrong.

There were two porcelain bottles as big as an adult's palm lying inside, and next to the porcelain bottles was a thin white wooden stick.

These two bottles, one is milky white and the other is light blue.

Baili Zheng pointed at the white bottle and said, "This is the flawless ointment, and its usage is the same as the usual ointment.

After washing in the morning and evening, use this cotton swab to scoop out a little bit and apply it evenly on the injured area until it is absorbed.

According to the injuries on Jinhong's face, one bottle of this can probably be used for two months.

The remaining bottle is bone-healing ointment. If it is just an ordinary broken bone, just apply it directly.

I don't know what Jinhong's condition is. You can take it to the doctor.

If the situation is serious, it needs to be used together with other medicines.”

After he said this, he closed the brocade box and handed it to Su Rongrong.

Su Rongrong was touched when she saw that he didn't even ask for an IOU. She also said:

“Master Baili, I’ll give you the IOU when I have time, and I’ll take the ointment first.

Don't worry, I won't default on your debt!"

When Baili Zheng heard this, he smiled and said to her who had already walked to the door of the room: "I'm really not afraid that you will default on your debt!"

Su Rongrong paused, but did not say anything, and left in a hurry.

She knew what he meant. With his status, who would dare to owe him money and not pay it back?

*

At the door of the room where Su Jinhong was, Liu Miao was waiting anxiously.

She was afraid of disturbing Doctor Min, so she came out and wandered around the door, looking towards the gate from time to time.

When he saw Su Rongrong's figure from afar, he hurried over to her.

After seeing the brocade box in her hand, his eyes sparkled and he said:

"Rongrong, are all the things Jinhong needs in there?"

"Well, these two bottles cost one hundred and fifty taels. One bottle is for the nobles in the palace, and the other is a reward for those who have made contributions in the army.

If we hadn't had the good fortune to meet Master Baili, we wouldn't be able to buy it even if we had money.

What's more, we have no money, so I can only owe it to you first.

I asked Master Baili to give me five years.

Within five years, I must save up 150 taels to pay him back!"

Liu Miao was very happy at first, but when she heard the amount of silver, she couldn't help but gasp.

There were more than twenty people in her family, and they worked hard for decades to save more than thirty taels.

Although a lot of money was spent on the marriage and childbirth of several of my brothers during this period, and later on, as the family had more children, we spent money to build a new house.

But there were many strong laborers, and after deducting all the expenses at the end of the year, there was less than three taels of silver left.

Rongrong has to pay back thirty taels a year. Who can do that?

Jinhong is in this condition now. He needs to continue studying after he recovers.

That one costs more money, pen, ink, paper, inkstone, and books...

Thinking of this, Liu Miao felt like she was about to lose her balance.

She might cause great harm to Rongrong!

Jinhong can certainly get better, but how is he going to pay back one hundred and fifty taels?

Is the only option left to do is to sell all that land?

Now that the harvest is good, an acre of high-quality paddy field yields five taels of rice, while an acre of fertile dry land yields three taels of rice.

It is definitely not enough to just sell Jinhong’s own products, so we have to sell other things.

So what’s the difference between this and a prodigal son?

Liu Miao felt a little tormented, but when she went in and saw Dr. Min looking at the two bottles of ointment with excitement, she felt that it should all be worth it.

As long as Jinhong gets better, even if we have to sell the land in the end, we will always be able to buy it back in the future.

His recovery is our hope!

Su Rongrong had no idea about Liu Miao's psychological changes.

After handing the ointment to Dr. Min, she stood aside and watched.

When Liu Miao came in, she said, "Miao Miao, you stay here and watch while I go out to buy some things.

I guess we’ll have to stay here for a few days.”

She has no relationship with the owner of this house and was able to live here because of good fortune. There is no reason for her to expect the kitchen to cooperate with her.

Liu Miao obviously thought the same thing as her, and while nodding, she also said, "Rongrong, buy more.

If Jinhong can be cured this time, it will be thanks to Master Baili.

Let's also help him prepare food and drink for the next few days!"

"Well, don't worry, I will!"

Su Rongrong said this and left in a hurry.

It wasn't until she found the kitchen, asked for a basket, and left the house that her mind reacted.

Miaomiao's reaction today was so strange. She seemed more like Jinhong's relative than her eldest sister.

Jinhong was injured like that, she was more anxious than anyone else.

What he said was that as long as the disease could be cured, he would do it at any cost.

All these reactions made her feel that Miaomiao cared a lot about Jinhong.

Is there something between her and Jinhong that she, as their elder sister, doesn't know?

Thinking of what Liu Miao had said before, that she wanted to marry a scholar or a scholar's family, she couldn't help but think more about it.

Could it be what she thought?

Miaomiao actually has some thoughts about Jinhong?

No way?

Miaomiao is five months older than her, and Jinhong is one year and five months younger than her.

There is almost two years difference between them!

Su Rongrong's thoughts drifted further and further away, and when she came to her senses, she was already standing in the downtown area.

Lanxia County is indeed one of the richest counties under Muyang Prefecture.

It's almost noon now, and the streets are still bustling with people, and the sounds of hawking can be heard everywhere.

She cheered herself up, asked about the grain and oil shop, and went to buy some rice and vegetable oil.

I don’t know if it’s because of the good harvest, but the price of high-quality refined rice and white flour is thirty-five wen per dou.

At first, Su Rongrong didn't understand how many pounds were in a dou.
