Chapter 47: Selling Wild Boar and Sharing the Proceeds

The three of them arrived at Zheng's house and found that the Zheng family was sitting around a table drinking porridge.

When Miss Zheng Qi saw her eldest brother coming back, she stood up and said with a smile, "Brother, the food is ready and warming in the kitchen. I'll bring it out to you right away. You can wash up first."

A little girl of three or four years old brought a wooden basin, scooped water into it and said, "Brother, wash your hands and have dinner."

When Miss Zheng Qi brought out the food, she saw Yang Mingxi and Yang Mingyu following behind Zheng Huairen. She greeted them with a smile and prepared to go to the kitchen to add another dish.

Yang Mingxi stopped Miss Zheng Qi and said, "You guys eat first. We still have things to do after dinner." Then she looked at Zheng Lao San and Zheng Lao Si and said, "Just eat half full. If you eat too much, you won't feel comfortable in the medicinal bath. There's always warm rice porridge at home. Eat when you feel like it."

After listening to this, Zheng Laosan and Zheng Laosi finished the rice porridge in their bowls, put down their bowls, and prepared to go for acupuncture.

Yang Mingxi looked at the two brothers who could walk normally and said with a smile, "The effect is really good. After about three times, they have no problem walking at all."

Yang Mingxi looked back at Zheng Laowu and Zheng Laoliu. They were in better condition. They had been a little weak before the detoxification, but now they looked much better. The moment Yang Mingxi turned around, Zheng Laosan and Zheng Laosi both knelt down, kowtowed to Yang Mingxi, and said, "Thank you, Miss Yang Qi, for saving my life. We will work like slaves for you in the future to repay you for saving our lives."

Yang Mingxi stepped forward and pulled the two brothers up, saying, "You're welcome. I happen to know a little bit about medicine, and I'm happy to help you." After saying that, she looked at Zheng Huairen and gestured for him to help the two brothers up. What Yang Mingxi didn't know was that because of this, she had a cousin-in-law who would later help her a lot in her affairs with Zheng Huairen.

Zheng Huairen stepped forward and said, "Get up, everyone. Follow Xixi's instructions strictly and take good care of your body. Only when you are well can you repay her later." After saying that, he looked at Yang Mingxi gently and said, "Are you going for acupuncture now? Come, I'll get you the medicine box." After saying that, he reached out to take the medicine box and touched Yang Mingxi's hand.

Yang Mingxi blushed with embarrassment and stammered, "Let's go, let's do acupuncture first. Have you cooked the herbs yet?"

Zheng Huairen carried the medicine box into the room of Zheng Laosan and Zheng Laosi and said, "You give them acupuncture. I'll tell Seventh Sister to boil the medicine."

Yang Mingxi gave acupuncture to Zheng Lao San and Zheng Lao Si, and asked Yang Mingyu to watch over them before going to the Zheng family courtyard. Looking at the scar on Zheng Lao Er's face, Yang Mingxi asked, "How do you feel? I see scars have formed, which means it's almost healed. Once the scars fall off, you'll be fine. But you still have to drink the detoxification soup."

Zheng Huaimin stood up awkwardly, rubbing his trousers with his hands. He spoke for a long time before saying, "Thank you, little doctor."

Yang Mingxi waved her hand and said, "Don't talk about whether he's a miracle doctor or not. As long as he's healed, that's fine. Don't tell anyone outside that it was me who cured you."

Yang Mingxi didn't want others to know that he knew medical skills, because he might not become a doctor in the future and didn't want to cause trouble for himself. He just wanted to treat his relatives around him who were feeling unwell or had minor illnesses such as typhoid fever. His main plan did not include practicing medicine.

After Yang Mingxi finished speaking, she looked at Zheng Huairen and said, "Tell your family not to spread the news that I know medical skills. Just say that my brother and I came to your house to learn Kung Fu. By the way, when will you teach us a few moves? It will be good for self-defense."

Zheng Huairen glanced at his family and emphasized it again before approaching Yang Mingxi and saying, "Practicing Kung Fu is very tiring. You don't need to learn it. I will protect you from now on."

Yang Mingxi glanced at Zheng Huairen and said, "Only with what I know can I protect myself, and you can't be by my side all the time." Then she went to see Zheng's mother.

On the bed inside the room, Mother Zheng was doing Kegel exercises after dinner. She worked up a sweat. Seeing Yang Mingxi come in, she looked up at Old Man Zheng, then took Yang Mingxi's hand and said, "Thank you. I feel much better now. I have the strength to go out for a walk."

Yang Mingxi congratulated with a smile, then pressed Zheng's mother's uterus and stomach with her hands and said, "Keep doing this exercise. You can prolong the duration when you maintain it later, but don't overdo it. It will get better." After that, she went out to see other people.

The other children in the Zheng family also drank the detoxifying medicine, and the effect was better than before, and they are recovering well now.

After Zheng Lao San and Zheng Lao Si took a medicinal bath, Yang Mingxi added space spring water to the medicine they drank, and then prepared to go home with Yang Mingyu. Zheng Huairen invited the two to have dinner at the Zheng family, but Yang Mingxi declined. She found that Zheng Huairen was treated well at home. Everyone else was asked to drink rice porridge, but Zheng Qi would still make a special portion for Zheng Huairen. When Zheng Huairen returned home, his brothers and sisters who were in better health would bring him water to wash their hands. This shows that although the Zheng family was plagued by illness, the family was still very affectionate.

When they returned to the fifth room, they found that no one had eaten yet. It seemed that they were waiting for Yang Mingxi and Yang Mingyu. Seeing Yang Mingxi coming back, Yang Laowu shouted that it was time for dinner. A bowl of cabbage and tofu, and a bowl of rice, was the Yang family's dinner.

After dinner, everyone sat together and talked about today's land reclamation. Because there were many people and a cow, they had reclaimed almost three acres today. Yang Mingxi felt that it was still too slow. With more than twenty people and a cow, should they consider finding someone else to help?

Yang Laowu was delighted. He had already cultivated over three mu (approximately 1.5 acres) of land in one day. By the time Xi Yatou planted the rice, he would have to cultivate the entire wasteland—over 200 mu! Wouldn't that make him a small landlord?

Yang Minghu also felt that the progress was good, and said, "Xi'er, the second child came back today and told us that you guys go collect herbs and hunt, and I'll stay home with my parents to reclaim the wasteland. We can work together on both ends. I think we should buy this wasteland before the rice is planted. I'm afraid that if rice really grows three times a year, others will set their sights on this wasteland, and then all our efforts will be wasted."

Yang Mingxi nodded and said, "I think so too. That's why we need to hurry up and make money. I've looked around and it seems hunting is the fastest way to make money. So let's go hunting together with Zheng Huairen and split the money together."

Yang Mingyu also took out the money from selling the wild boar today and said, "Xier, do you want to divide today's money? How do you want to divide it?"

Yang Mingxi thought for a moment and said, "Go call a few cousins over and split today's wild boar money equally!"

Yang Mingyu had stood up and was about to leave when he heard his third sister's words. He stopped and said, "Xier, we shouldn't divide it like this. You and I hunted the wild boar. They just helped tie it up and carried it back."

Yang Mingxi looked at Yang Mingyu and said, "Third brother, this is the truth, and this is the fact, but we are a family, and we will go hunting together in the future. This is how we will divide the money. No matter how much effort is put in, Zheng Huairen will probably be the one who puts in the most effort. If he, an outsider, can accept this, we, as family, should not be too fussy about it. If we fuss, then we can't work together."

After listening to this, Yang Mingyu nodded and said, "Okay, then I understand. I'm sorry, Xier."

Yang Mingxi stood up and said, "I'm not wronged. I'm also a member of the Yang family."

Soon, everyone who had gone to the mountain today gathered in Room 5. Yang Mingxi asked them to sit down and said, "We're going to hunt wild boars tomorrow. Do you have any questions?"

Everyone was very excited and said they would do this and that, and that there was no problem.

Yang Mingxi looked at the equally excited Yang Mingchao and Yang Minghao and said, "You two won't go with us to hunt wild boars, but you can come with us to collect herbs on Changhu Mountain. You two are too young to go deep into the mountains."

Yang Minghao nodded disappointedly and said, "Okay, it's not bad to be able to collect herbs."

Yang Mingxi took the silver that Yang Mingyu had just taken out and said, "Today's wild boar sold for 9200 coins. For the eight of us, that's 1150 coins each. Zheng Huairen didn't want any, saying he was just helping out."

Yang Mingyong stood up and said, "Xi'er, what do you mean by this? Zheng Huairen, an outsider, can say he's just helping out. Why, now that we've split up, you don't consider us family anymore? Are you slapping us in the face?"

Yang Mingzhou and Yang Mingbo also stood up and said angrily, "That's right, Xier, are we still family? Do you have to pay me for doing such a small favor?"

Yang Mingxi also stood up and said with a smile from the bottom of his heart, "Sit down, brothers, sit down. I was distracted, it's my fault. Let's not talk about this matter anymore. We are a family, and you brothers should bear with me."

The brothers then sat down, saying things like, "That's better!", "If this had been done earlier, nothing would have happened!" Yang Mingxi looked at them with a smile that never faded.

Yang Mingxi asked Yang Mingyang to invite Yang Laoliu and Yang Laoqi, saying that they were going to the mountains to hunt together. Uncle Yang Liu and Uncle Yang Qi both refused, saying that they would help to open up the wasteland first and then make other plans.
