Transmigrated into a short-lived widow? Cold-faced uncle fights for my life

Jiang Mingwei stretched out her fingertips and smeared the place where she had clearly seen dust accumulation before.

Very clean, without any dust!

When I opened the drawers containing the herbs, I found that all the original debris had been cleaned away, leaving only the whole pieces for sale.

On the contrary, the ground was stained with dirt because she had just divided the herbs, which looked a bit glaring.

There is not a single dirty spot in the entire house!

The shopkeeper smiled and nodded repeatedly, obviously very satisfied with the woman.

"Yes, miss, this woman is so capable! If the store didn't need so many people now, I would have hired her!"

"It's so rare to meet someone who is so hardworking and good at his job. It's a once in a lifetime opportunity!"

Jiang Mingwei looked at the shopkeeper with a dim gaze and curled the corners of her mouth slightly.

"Why do I feel that what you said... is...hidden meaning, as if you are hinting at something?"

"No, no, how dare I hint to you, young lady? I am telling you the truth! You can see it, young lady, so I believe you already have the answer in your mind."

The shopkeeper smiled with his eyes narrowed and waved his hands repeatedly, but his words also contained deep meaning.

Jiang Mingwei snorted and chuckled, but she was definitely thinking about it in her heart.

She had originally only wanted the woman to work off her debts to prevent her child from actually losing his life, which would have been quite pitiful.

But this woman is simply born to clean the Holy Body!

She suddenly changed her mind...

It would be a shame not to keep such talent around.

Sitting in Renyifang while waiting for her to clean the herbs, Jiang Mingwei observed the people coming and going to get the medicine. From their complexions, she could judge what illness they had, and she could guess it right nine times out of ten.

She felt more and more that she should set up a table and sit here for the consultation.

"Ma'am, the herbs you requested have been cleaned and packaged. You can take them away directly."

Just as Jiang Mingwei was staring in fascination, a restrained voice sounded beside her.

She looked up and met the woman's embarrassed smile.

"How is your child? Is he feeling better?"

When Niu Niu was mentioned, the smile on the woman's face became more intense and she nodded repeatedly.

"Well, I'm much better now! The medicine that Madam gave me is so effective. I felt much better after taking just one dose. Now I'm full of energy. Country kids are simple and easy to raise. Madam, don't worry."

Jiang Mingwei felt helpless and soft-hearted after hearing this, and in the end she couldn't help but speak out and give instructions.

"You still have to pay more attention, otherwise it will be troublesome if it relapses. When you leave later, ask the shopkeeper for four or five days of medicine to drink continuously. After drinking it, consolidate it, and similar situations will not easily occur again."

"Want... want money?"

When talking about money, the woman seemed more reserved, with a look of panic on her face.

"You have come to work and have kept my pharmacy spotless. Why should I ask you for money? I should be the one paying you! Of course I don't want it."

"What are you talking about, Madam? You saved Niuniu, and I just cleaned up the place. It's nothing! Madam, if you need me to come for a few days, just tell me, I will definitely come."

The woman was indeed simple and honest. Jiang Mingwei no longer hesitated and asked, "Let me ask you, if there is a way for you to ensure that you and Niuniu have enough food and clothing in the future, would you be willing?"

The woman's eyes lit up, her face flushed with excitement, and her hands were clenched together nervously.

"Madam, can you teach me how to pick herbs? I just heard your conversation with those brothers! They picked a basket of herbs, and you gave them six taels of silver!"

"Six taels of silver! I can't even imagine how much that is! If it were given to me and Niuniu, it would be enough to support us for two years. If Madam is willing to teach me, I would be very grateful!"

As she spoke, she was about to kneel down, but Jiang Mingwei quickly reached out to stop her.

Why do these people always kneel down whenever they are told to do so? She has no defense at all.

"Wait a minute, when did I say I would teach you how to pick herbs? I can't teach you, and I don't recommend you to do this job. It's tiring and dangerous. Many herbs grow on the edge of cliffs. Men have the strength to climb the rocks, but can you?"

"I can!"

The woman was full of energy. She raised her hand and patted her chest with a determined look on her face.

"Madam, please don't look down on me. Although I am a woman, I can do anything. Really, I can collect herbs. Madam, please teach me!"

"It's not that I don't want to teach you, but I have no experience in picking herbs. Identifying herbs is not easy. Sometimes you encounter poisonous herbs. If you die, what will happen to Niuniu? I advise you not to think about it!"

"Besides, today is just a special day. Normally, they don't make much money from collecting herbs."

The hope in the woman's eyes gradually disappeared, her hands were hurriedly twisted together, and a sad expression appeared on her face.

"Then...what should we do?"

"Have you ever considered that I want you to stay in this clinic and run it together with the owner? You can just help him with odd jobs and clean and organize the herbs."

"Of course, keeping you here doesn't mean you can be lazy. I hope you can maintain the state you are in today!"

Seeing her confused expression, Jiang Mingwei spoke softly.

The woman was stunned for a moment, and then her eyes suddenly lit up, as if there was light at the end of the tunnel!

"Madam is willing to keep me here to work, really?"

Jiang Mingwei nodded, "Of course, you've done such a good job, there's no reason for me not to stay."

"But your stay here is only temporary. I have other stores that need you in the future, so I may transfer you away, but you can stay here first. I will give you 400 coins a month, which is enough for you and Niuniu to live on."

When she heard the price of four hundred coins, the woman covered her mouth in surprise, and then tears welled up in her eyes.

She wanted to kowtow to Jiang Mingwei again.

Fortunately, the shopkeeper quickly stopped her and scolded her again and again.

"The young lady doesn't like others to kowtow to her for no reason. Just thank her, there's no need to kowtow!"

The woman nodded repeatedly with tears in her eyes.

"Thank you, ma'am! Thank you, ma'am! You saved our lives. In fact, when Niuniu got sick, I, as her mother, was also responsible."

"We were so poor that we had nothing to eat. I saw some rotten vegetables thrown into the ditch, so I took them home and cooked them for her. I thought she would be fine after cooking them, but she got sick!"

"We haven't found food for today yet, thank you Madam for saving us!"

Jiang Mingwei felt very uncomfortable when she heard her say this and sighed slowly.

"Hurry up and get up. It's good to have a place to stay. I'll ask the shopkeeper to give you an advance of some money today so you can buy some delicious food for Niuniu."

"Yes, thank you ma'am."

Picking up the medicinal herbs, Jiang Mingwei and Hua Cui left Renyifang.

"Miss, I haven't picked up the jade pendant from last time yet. Do you want to go?"

Hua Cui suddenly remembered and asked Jiang Mingwei.

She was startled, then nodded and said, "I am going there, I almost forgot..."
