Quick Wear: The Bad Girl is Reborn and No Longer Confused

The young man was deeply impressed by Xu Yong. He came to get medicine every month, and it cost nearly thirty taels each time. It was not something a farmer could afford, but he bought it for a year.

"No, I want Dr. Xiao to see my daughter."

"Dad, I'm already fine, don't waste your money."

"Be obedient and don't look at your parents who are worried."

Xu Tao had no choice but to follow them. The guys in the pharmacy looked at the father and daughter with sympathy. They wondered how they could survive with one of them falling ill after another.

"The little girl is fine, she's just a little weak inside, and she can be cured by diet."

Upon hearing this, Mr. Xu felt relieved. As long as his daughter was fine, he would get her food later.

"Doctor, what is the value of these two ginseng roots?"

Doctor Xiao picked up the ginseng and examined it carefully. He frowned slightly and sniffed it with his nose, becoming even more confused.

Xu Tao was worried that it might not be able to be sold.

"Would you allow me to discuss this with other doctors?"

"Yes, please."

The father and daughter stayed there, staring at each other, waiting for half a minute for Doctor Xiao to come back.

"The ginseng looks good and has a nice ginseng flavor, but the bark is a little tender, and the horizontal lines are a bit rough, shallow, and inconsistent, unlike the ones we collected before. I suspect it may be related to the growing environment. Could you let me taste a small section of the root?"

With the permission of the father and daughter, Dr. Xiao gently took off a small piece and found that it was indeed ginseng.

"Usually, a plant of this quality would cost around twenty taels, but we can offer you sixteen taels."

When Xu's father saw his daughter nod slightly, he agreed, and the two of them went out with 32 taels of silver.

"Dad, let's go buy some meat first and then buy a mirror."

Xu Yong ignored his daughter and took her to the wonton stall. "Eat it. Dad remembers Taozi loves wontons the most."

Xu Tao asked the store owner for a new bowl and divided it into two portions.

"Daddy likes to eat it too. It tastes better when we eat it together."

Cheng An, who was sitting behind them, was very envious. He only had time to eat the wontons in the bowl after they had walked away. However, liquid kept dripping into the bowl, causing tiny ripples.

Wang Yue anxiously looked out at the village entrance. After waiting for a long time, no one came back. She was extremely anxious. Apart from the four strong men, there were only the woman, children and young boys left at home. It was not appropriate for anyone to go out to look for someone at night.

The father and daughter sitting in the ox cart saw the figure from afar and looked at each other guiltily. Xu Tao, adhering to the principle of "a teammate should die before the poor", decisively pushed his father out to block the bullet.

"You guys are finally back. Why did you take so long?"

"Wife, let's go home and talk about it."

After the driver left, the two began to explain why they were late.

Originally, they did plan to leave after buying the mirror and the meat, but Xu Tao saw that the street was so busy that there was no room for walking, so she made an excuse that she wanted to observe everyone's preferences and take a walk to get to know them.

As a daughter-slave, Xu Yong naturally agreed, and the two of them started to stroll around the market. Before they knew it, they had missed the last oxcart. Since they had already missed it, they decided to stroll around a little longer and rent an oxcart to go back home that night. It was just right that they bought some things that were missing at home.

"How much silver is left?"

"Three...thirty cents."

"What??????"

Wang Yue clutched her chest and picked up a feather duster to teach the two prodigals a lesson. That was a full thirty-two taels, and now there were only thirty wen left!

"Mom, Dad asked me to buy them. I persuaded him."

Xu Yong turned back in disbelief, "Wife, wife, we gentlemen use words instead of fists."

"Haha, I'm a woman."

But in the end she didn't really beat them up. She knew in her heart that what she bought would be useful, and she just wanted to scare them so that they would remember.

Xu Tao and his friends did buy useful things. They only had nine mu of land left, not enough for the family, so they bought thirty kilograms of fine grains and five hundred kilograms of brown rice. They only had a little oil left at home, so they bought a piece of lard.

The biggest expense was the mirror, which cost twelve taels, and the carpentry tools and sharp cutting knives, which cost seventeen taels.

In the middle of the night, there was a noise at the door. Xu Yong got up and comforted his wife who had woken up. "Yue Niang, you stay in the room. I'll go out and take a look. Don't worry."

Wang Yue stood up as well. She was quite strong and could help if she encountered any bad guys.

Seeing that his wife insisted, Xu Yong did not stop her. He protected her behind him, opened the door lightly, and grabbed the carrying pole leaning against the wall.

"Dad, don't hit me. It's us."

"Er Zhuang San Zhuang, why are you back so late at night? Have you eaten?"

"We ate my mother. There is no work in the city and we don't want to waste money rushing back overnight."

They originally planned to sleep at the door for a night, but the boss's servant passed by and still remembered the two brothers, so he kindly reminded them. The boss was upset that the goods were intercepted halfway, and it was impossible for him to find anyone to work for the next few days.

Since there was no work to do, they decided to go home and do some farm work to save their mother and daughter-in-law from being so tired.

"It's just right that you're back. Your little sister has something to discuss tomorrow, so go to bed first."

The two of them walked back before the city gates closed. They were indeed a little tired, so they slept directly in the main room to avoid waking up their wives and children.

Li Gouzi patted his chest. Fortunately, he dodged quickly and almost ran into the Xu brothers. Thinking of Cao Cui's expression, his face suddenly fell.

He thought he had a firm grip on the woman's heart, but it turned out to be his own wishful thinking. The woman's face changed when he mentioned the idea of ​​perfect marriage. She didn't want to be willing, and he didn't want to be willing either. If it weren't for the sake of becoming a scholar's father, he would never have wanted to be bound by such constraints.

It would be much better to sleep with other people's women and let them raise your offspring. When you are old, your children can recognize your ancestry and take care of you in your old age. It would be more annoying to marry a wife who meddles in your affairs.

The more Li Gouzi thought about it, the more uncomfortable he became. It was his business if he didn't want to do it, but the woman couldn't be ungrateful.

The morning sun shone through the treetops into the farmyard, casting mottled shadows and creating a tranquil and beautiful scene. Xu Tao heard some noises in the yard and stretched lazily as she walked out of the house.

"Second brother, third brother, you are back. It's so early."

"Little sister, wake up! We got home last night and brought you some malt candy. Come and eat it."

Xu Tao took the oil-paper bag and stuffed one into everyone's mouth, including herself. She then gave the remaining ten or so to Xu Chun, the eldest child in the family, for safekeeping.

Today, everyone in the Xu family sat together in the yard, even the three-year-old Xu Dong was not left out.

The young woman stood in the center, talking eloquently and gesturing with her hands and feet from time to time. Everyone present was very enthusiastic, applauding and cheering with smiles on their faces. Half an hour later, the Xu family's first meeting was a complete success.

Xu Sanzhuang, who had learned carpentry, was grinning from ear to ear while holding his tools. Xu Erzhuang, who had learned blacksmithing, was a little more reserved, baring his teeth.

"My parents went to the bamboo forest to cut bamboo. They wanted bamboo as big as a bowl. My fourth brother helped cut the bamboo into joints that were sealed at both the top and the bottom.

Xiaochun took Xiaoxia and the others to cut cattails. We only needed the stems. If we wanted whole stems, we could cut them based on the height of the bamboo cups... Second and third brothers, let's set out to look for oak trees in the mountains."

"Aunt, aunt, my sister and I are here~" Xu Tu was unhappy about being ignored. As the eldest child, he also had to help with housework.

"Of course my aunt won't forget us, Xiao Tu. When the brothers come back from picking mint, Xiao Tu will help wash it. Now, can you take care of your sister first?"
