The young couple from the farm fights back

Chapter 96 Jiang Li arranges food for the future

Ming Yang swallowed with lingering fear and asked in a low voice, "Excuse me, doctor, do you have a way to cure this poison?"

"Of course there is. Coincidentally, among the herbs I brought, there's something that can cure this poison. Those who are seriously ill need acupuncture to remove the poison. Once the poison is removed, they can recover like a normal person after a few months of rest."

After hearing what Jiang Li said, everyone's hearts that had been in their throats suddenly relaxed, and they all showed hopeful smiles on their faces.

Jiang Li continued, "Although detoxification is urgent, have you ever thought about who wanted to kill the man on Changsheng Island?"

Jiang Li's words left everyone confused.

Even if they racked their brains, they couldn't figure out who was so bold. Their Changsheng Island rarely accepted outsiders, and most of them were residents whose ancestors had lived on the island. The relationship between each family was so close that they didn't even need to lock the gate tightly.

Jiang Li looked at their bewildered expressions and smiled, "So, next, you should split up into three groups. I don't want to save someone in the front and then have a bunch of troubles happen in the back. Even though I'm proficient in medicine, my body is not made of iron, don't you agree?"

Dashuan, who had been stunned by what he heard, suddenly came to his senses and said, "That's right, my sister-in-law is still in confinement after giving birth. If the enemy hadn't raided our village, she wouldn't have fled with us, bringing her child with her."

"Now my sister-in-law has agreed to rescue your people, but you can't torture her to death. Otherwise, my brother will definitely not let you go when he comes back."

Jiang Li choked up, Dashuan's tone sounded a bit like a little brat taunting someone, which sounded a bit funny.

Ye Ming and the others couldn't help but lower their eyes in guilt, knowing that the miracle doctor was so busy before he even finished his confinement. They really couldn't let the miracle doctor ruin his body, as they would still need the miracle doctor's protection in the future on their island.

"My lady, please rest assured. We will find out who is behind the poisoning as soon as possible." Ye Ming promised with a bow.

Jiang Li nodded. "I said earlier that we should split our forces into three groups. First, gather all the sick islanders together as quickly as possible so that I can diagnose and treat them."

"Second, find a way to remove the poison from the well. Of course, the islanders can drill new wells in their own yards, but the groundwater sources in the same yards should be connected. If the poison is not cleaned up, there is no guarantee that there will be more trouble in the future."

Everyone nodded repeatedly, thinking that the miracle doctor was very thoughtful.

"Third, we must find the person who poisoned us as soon as possible. If this plan fails, we will have to come up with another one. We are in the open, while the enemy is in the dark. We never know what their next move will be."

After hearing Jiang Li's instructions, Ye Ming led all the brothers to clasp their hands, kneel on one knee, and solemnly said in unison: "We are at the lady's disposal."

After explaining everything, Jiang Li asked Dashuan to help move the things in the yard into the house.

Only now did Jiang Li have time to clearly see the layout of the courtyard.

The wooden house not only has a loft, corridors, but also a two-entry style. The furniture inside looks newly made, and there are enough rooms.

Jiang Li let Que and An share a room, and Heng and Jing shared a room, letting the two older children look after the two younger ones. She and her daughter moved into the main house in the backyard. With the help of Zhao and Fang, they quickly packed up their belongings.

Jiang Li fed her daughter and coaxed her to sleep. She pulled open the curtain and saw Zhao busy getting out the herbs for her. So she said, "Sister-in-law, you must be tired too. I'll take care of these things. You two should go back and look after the children. If there's no food at home, come to our house and have a bite to eat."

I think Yuan Niang has already prepared the food. She had specifically asked me to use the rice she brought to make some porridge, some filling steamed buns, and some fried pickled vegetables to whet the appetite.

"Okay, sister-in-law." A smile appeared on Zhao's tired face. "If you need anything, please come to find us next door anytime."

"it is good."

As soon as Zhao left, Yuan Niang came to tell her that the food was ready.

Jiang Li asked Yuan Niang to set up a large round table in the front hall. The children were waiting in the front hall. Only when they saw their mother [aunt] coming with their little sister in her arms did the children dare to sit down.

Seeing this, Yuan Niang and Fang Shi on the side felt a liking for the children of the miracle doctor's family. The eldest boy was only six or seven years old, but they were all sensible and good children.

When Jiang Li first arrived, she was worried about leaving her daughter alone in the house. Seeing this, Yuan Niang quickly exchanged glances with Fang Shi, who quickly stepped forward to help take her daughter.

"Madam, let me hold the child."

Jiang Li thought that since the child was under her own supervision, she felt at ease to hand the child over to Fang.

"It's past lunchtime now, don't you guys eat after lunch?"

Yuan Niang and her daughter-in-law nodded in agreement. Yuan Niang said, "That's right. This is the rule passed down by our ancestors. Even if we ordinary people are greedy, we can't break it. But you are different. Although it's a little late, your health is very important."

When Yuan Niang learned that Jiang Li was still in confinement, she felt sorry for her as a woman fleeing with a child.

Jiang Li: "Mother Yuan, we don't have this rule in our family. The children are growing up, so we have to cook three meals a day."

Yuan Niang and Fang blinked in shock, obviously they had never heard of any family eating three meals a day.

"So, I'll need to trouble you two to help take care of it in the future."

Yuan Niang was stunned for a moment, then immediately smiled and said, "My lady, you are kind. It's just an extra meal. It's not a big deal. I will make whatever you want."

Although I felt that the doctor's idea broke the old ancestral rules, after all, she was a distinguished guest invited back to the island, and I had to follow her wishes. Besides, she was a miracle doctor, so her instructions must be good for her health.

Jiang Li put some fried pickled cabbage into the bowls of An Ge'er and Jing Ge'er beside her and said softly, "You can make some porridge or easily digestible noodles for breakfast, rice for lunch, and some steamed buns for dinner."

"I brought a lot of dried bacon, sausages, and bacon ribs, and I made a meat dish for the children for lunch and dinner."

Yuan Niang nodded repeatedly and replied, "Okay, my lady. On weekdays, the young men on our island go fishing in the sea. If the child likes seafood, I will make a few dishes for him to try tomorrow."

"That's great! Eating fish is good for children." Jiang Li continued, "Although you were arranged by the island owner to help us, we don't want helpers for nothing. After all, we have many children at home, and I really need one or two helpers. I can pay you fifty coins each per month. What do you think?"

Fang looked at her mother-in-law in surprise. Yuan Niang quickly waved her hand and said, "My lady, this is impossible. It is my great honor to be able to serve you."

Jiang Li smiled and said, "Of course I can use it. Just take it if I give it to you. Otherwise, I won't be able to use it with peace of mind. Maybe the wages will be low. When I have revenue in the future, I will pay you for the processing."

Hearing Jiang Li's firm tone, Yuan Niang was in a dilemma, fearing that if she didn't agree, they wouldn't be able to stay. After all, it was the island master's order. If she and her daughter-in-law were kicked out by the genius doctor, how could they face the island master?

"Okay, my lady." Finally, Yuan Niang gritted her teeth and agreed.

In fact, fifty cents is not a small amount, but the people on their island never worry about money. Every household can live a stable life by being self-sufficient.

Their Changsheng Island is isolated from the outside world. Even if people from outside hear about Changsheng Island, they cannot enter. There is no government to collect taxes, and there is enough food for their families every year. Normally, every household can catch some seafood, and their life is better than that of people outside.

Seeing Yuan Niang agree, Jiang Li's mouth curled up in satisfaction. Thinking of her second uncle's house next door, she stood up and gave each child a piece of steamed bun, then picked up the remaining steamed buns and handed them to Yuan Niang.

"Please help me deliver these food to the neighboring house."

Yuan Niang understood, "Okay, my lady. There's still half a pot of rice porridge in the kitchen. Would you like to give some to the distinguished guest next door?"

Jiang Li liked Yuan Niang's practicality and thoughtfulness. "Okay, add some pickled mustard greens to whet the appetite of the old lady."

"Okay, my lady." Before leaving, Yuan Niang did not forget to remind her daughter-in-law to take good care of her.

Fang nodded repeatedly in response.
