The little cook in the book has fallen asleep

"Hmm? What's that sound?" Old Mrs. Cheng asked deliberately. She had actually guessed what was going on, but she still pretended not to know.

"Grandma, is there a big rat?" When Cheng Xiaoba heard the noise, he immediately ran to the old lady, pulled up her clothes and asked nervously.

"Yes, Xiaoba, there must be a big rat next door! It's eyeing all these delicious foods of yours!" Old Mrs. Cheng echoed, and then scratched Cheng Xiaoba's head.

Cheng Yu secretly complained in his heart: "It's not good to live here. Although the yard is wide, the neighbors are too close. Even eating meat is being watched by others!"

The Cheng family knew it, it must be the family next door squatting in the corner. Every time there was something delicious, they didn't dare to take it to the yard to eat.

Otherwise, according to usual practice, the grandchildren next door would have knocked on the door a long time ago. Maybe they were scared by the head of the family, Sun Da, today, so they didn’t dare to come!

Sun Wu looked at this scene and couldn't help but sigh: "Alas, Uncle Cheng, your wall is too low. I'm afraid the big rats next door will run over to your side!"

In fact, he had just seen Cheng Pandi and the others peeping, so he picked up a stone from the ground and threw it at them.

Sun Wu took a look at the Cheng family's house. The Cheng family was quite big. There was a big tree in the front yard, a well, and a total of six or seven rooms.

However, the Cheng family was so large that it was impossible for everyone to have their own room. Sun Wu thought to himself that as the eldest grandson, the Cheng family would definitely not agree to him marrying into the Sun family.

But after Cheng Lixiao and his daughter get married, he can’t live in the same room with his brother anymore, right?

Should he help the Cheng family rebuild a bigger house? However, based on his understanding of the Cheng family, the Cheng family would definitely not accept such help.

Not only Sun Wu was thinking about this, but the entire Cheng family (except the youngest one) was also thinking about this. Xiao Ge'er is already at the age to get engaged, and it will be impossible for him to live in the same room with his brothers when he gets married.

Besides, little Nannan is hiding a secret, and the old hag Cheng Pandi is watching their house all day long, so sooner or later something bad is bound to happen.

Therefore, this house must be repaired! The family finished the meal with their own thoughts.

Li Huaxiang and her three sisters-in-law quickly cleared the table. The three brothers of the Cheng family also helped to wash the dishes, while the boys of the Cheng family helped to carry the clean bowls into the kitchen.

After everything was cleaned up, everyone sat in the main room.

"Mrs. Cheng, it's getting late. Let's talk about the ginseng. How much do you want to sell it for?" Doctor Bai said anxiously.

After lunch, Doctor Bai took Cheng Lixiao's pulse again and confirmed that Cheng Lixiao was no longer in danger. Then he began to worry about the young master who was far away in the provincial capital waiting for ginseng to save his life.

"Grandma, this ginseng is worth at least one thousand taels, but Doctor Bai has done us a favor, so let him give it to us as he pleases!" Cheng Yu was held in the old lady's arms, looking at Doctor Bai with his big eyes, and at the same time said in his heart.

"Doctor Bai, this ginseng was picked up by our Xiaojiu. Just give it to us as you see fit. I believe you won't treat us unfairly!" Old Mrs. Cheng still trusted Doctor Bai's character very much, so she said immediately.

Hearing what Old Lady Cheng said, Doctor Bai was deeply moved. He also knew that the Cheng family were all kind people.

So he smiled and replied: "Okay, then I will give you the market price. This ginseng is 150 years old, and it is worth at least one thousand taels in the market, but it is of very good quality, so I will give you one thousand two hundred taels. Is that okay with you?" As he said that, he took out a stack of silver bills from his arms.

Today he received a message from his master. When Liuzi went to the clinic to pick him up, he had already made up his mind to buy ginseng from the Cheng family, so he took a whole stack of silver bills with him when he went out.

At that time, I thought, what if the Cheng family still had one? I was so lucky to find another 150-year-old ginseng!

"Aunt, I only have one thousand taels here. When I return to the clinic, I will ask the medicine boy to bring the remaining two hundred taels to you!" Doctor Bai said immediately when he saw that the old lady had no objection.

Old Mrs. Cheng took a look at the stack of banknotes and was shocked. It was the first time in her entire life that she had seen so much silver.

But she didn't show it on her face. She just smiled, nodded to Doctor Bai, and reached out to take the banknote.

Cheng Yu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that Doctor Bai was truly an honest man!

The other people in the Cheng family also became excited. One thousand two hundred taels, even though it belonged to little Nannan, it did not stop them from being happy. They would leave it all to Nannan. It would be her dowry in the future!

"Grandma, I want the remaining two hundred taels in silver! No banknotes!" Cheng Yu requested in her heart. She wanted to send her three brothers to take the imperial examinations, and she would definitely need small change along the way.

"Doctor Bai, you are such a fair man. The ginseng is yours, but we want the remaining two hundred taels of silver, is that okay?" said Old Lady Cheng.

"Of course, no problem. I brought the silver. I thought you only accepted silver bills!" The medicine boy took out two money bags. Doctor Bai took them and handed them to Old Lady Cheng. "One hundred taels per bag. Aunt, please count them."

Mrs. Cheng took it and handed it to Cheng Yu. "It's okay. I trust you, Doctor Bai."

Doctor Bai felt very warm at heart when he saw him holding the Cheng family's arms, and his favorable impression of the Cheng family immediately increased several degrees.

Then, seeing that it was getting late, he said goodbye, and the Cheng family members walked him all the way to the carriage at the door of the Cheng family's house.

"Doctor Bai, please take the ginseng away with the pot, otherwise it might be damaged accidentally and lose its medicinal properties!" Old Mrs. Cheng stuffed the pot into Doctor Bai's arms.

Old Mrs. Cheng didn't know when her granddaughter planted it in the flowerpot, but seeing how lively it looked in the pot, she did it a favor.

"Aunt, you are such good people! If you have any medicinal materials in the future, bring them to Tong Ren Tang and give them to me, I will never let you down!" Doctor Bai liked the Cheng family more and more, and said immediately.

"These are the roses we dried ourselves. Doctor Bai, take some back and have some!" Zhao Yunniang took out two cans of rose tea and gave them to Doctor Bai. Cheng Yu had long said that Doctor Bai couldn't let go of those roses.

"How can this be so embarrassing!" Doctor Bai refused while taking the jar.

Everyone was amused by his actions.

"Xiaoxiao, this is what your sister prepared for you." Old Mrs. Cheng handed the two jars of roses in her hand to Sun Xiaoxiao. It was indeed Cheng Yu who had been clamoring to give his beautiful sister-in-law flower tea.

This was watered with spiritual spring water by Cheng Yu. It will definitely be good for Sun Xiaoxiao if she drinks it.

"Grandma, grandma, the big rat next door is here again!" Cheng Xiaoba heard the gurgling sound coming from next door, and then said to the old lady.

"Yes, in broad daylight, only big gray rats are shameless and keep staring at other people's good things all day long!" Old Mrs. Cheng said indirectly.

As soon as Mrs. Cheng said this, everyone present burst into laughter. Hearing the laughter, Cheng Pandi, who originally wanted to stand up and curse at Mrs. Cheng, could only walk towards the door with a hunched back.

"Oh, who is this? The eldest grandson is paralyzed in bed, and he is rejected by a girl and has broken off the engagement, but he can still smile!" Cheng Pandi said sarcastically.

She was good friends with Liu Hua, so naturally she knew some inside information. The Qian family married Cheng Lixiao to Cheng Chen because they disliked the fact that Cheng Lixiao was a paraplegic.

"If I were Cheng Lixiao, I would be too embarrassed to live and be a burden to my family. I would definitely die!" Cheng Pandi saw that Old Lady Cheng was looking at her like a clown. Her words became more and more outrageous. As she spoke, she leaned against the door, looking at them smugly.

With a "snap", Sun Xiaoxiao's whip hit the door of Cheng Pandi's house, and then the door fell down and hit Cheng Pandi heavily. She immediately began to groan.

"I, Sun Xiaoxiao, am here to tell you that the Qian family is blind. I love Cheng Lixiao and he is mine. I will naturally find a doctor to cure him in the future! You are not qualified to ridicule him!" Sun Xiaoxiao said domineeringly.

Sun Xiaoxiao had traveled with Sun Wu for so many years, so naturally she had acquired some of the spirit of the underworld, and was free and unrestrained! Especially when she saw the encouraging look in her father's eyes.

Sun Wu: ...No, I didn't...

"This is compensation for your family! If you are not satisfied, come to the county government to sue me! My surname is Sun, Sun Xiaoxiao!" After saying that, Sun Xiaoxiao took out two taels of silver from his pocket and threw it directly on Cheng Pandi, then put away the whip and walked towards Sun Wu and others.

"Uncle, aunt, you guys don't have to see us off. We're leaving now. If you have any problems, you can come to the escort agency to find me, or go to Tong Ren Tang to find Doctor Bai!" Sun Wu clasped his fists and said goodbye to the Cheng family.

"Okay, have a safe journey, everyone come to our house to visit when you are free. Xiaoxiao, come to our house and visit us when you are free!" Grandpa Cheng, as the representative of the family, responded immediately.

"Oh, Dad, hold me up! My legs are weak!" Sun Xiaoxiao shouted as soon as he got on the carriage.

"What a promising future! Aren't you very capable?" Sun Wu reached out, took his daughter's hand, and helped her to the seat on the carriage.

"Isn't it because you can't bear to hear her scolding Senior Brother Cheng?" Sun Xiaoxiao immediately retorted after sitting down.

"Look, this is what it means when a girl grows up, she can't be kept at home!" Sun Wu teased his daughter with a smile.

Then, bursts of laughter came from the carriage.

The Cheng family felt relieved when they saw Cheng Pandi get up in a panic and not yell at them. Instead, she happily picked up the silver and ran inside.

Sun Xiaoxiao was venting her anger for their family, so she couldn't let Cheng Pandi, the old hag, take advantage of her!

"Uncle and aunt, we are going back too. My parents are still waiting for news at home!" The Li and Zhao families said goodbye one by one.

Old Mrs. Cheng packed some meat and rice for each family before letting them go, because she was very grateful to them because they had hurried over to help after hearing that Xiao Ge'er was going back to the village.

After everyone left, Old Lady Cheng gave the third room one or two taels of silver as usual. Although it was not fair, she could not favor one over the other.

"Meeting! Everyone come into the main room for a meeting!" Old Master Cheng's voice came from the main room.
