Farming and reading family

Since his second brother's wife said so, Chen Qing can't go now, just tell the village head, and the village head will definitely be able to handle it.

Zheng Fengan nodded: "No matter what, it is a way for them to survive."

Last night, Zheng Wang and his friends also went to collect firewood to make a fire, but they collected too little firewood, and the fire did not last until dawn. Two elderly people could not hold on and died.

When Zheng Fengan went there, he heard their family members crying heart-wrenchingly.

When Zheng Wang saw Zheng Fengan coming, he wanted to rush over to beg for mercy, but the people guarding them stopped him with a bamboo pole.

"Uncle, are you going to watch us die?" Zheng Wang begged. "How are you going to face Grandpa and the others when you get down there?"

Zheng Fengan looked at Zheng Wang and said, "You obviously knew you were sick, so you shouldn't have come back." He turned and left.

"Uncle, uncle..." Zheng Wang's eyes were full of resentment.

Zheng Fengan went directly to find Gao E.

Gao E was demonstrating how to make masks for the children, thinking that it would be great if she had cotton cloth.

"Uncle Zheng." Peng Can called out.

Zheng Fengan nodded and walked inside with his hands behind his back.

Gao E asked the children to go play somewhere else first. "Uncle Zheng, what's up?"

Zheng Fengan sat down and thought for a while before telling him what Chen Qing had told him: "I know you have good intentions. I was originally planning to talk to them about it. After all, it's a way out."

When Zheng Fengan said this, Gao E knew he hadn't said it.

"But two of the old ones died." Zheng Fengan said with a heavy heart, "Even if you can cure the rest, they will still hate you."

Gao E was a little surprised.

"Even if they sign the contract to sell themselves now, there's no guarantee they'll do anything to harm your family." Zheng Fengan looked at Gao E. "You're still too young and have little experience."

"Thank you Uncle Zheng for the reminder." Gao E said gratefully.

Zheng Fengan was relieved when he saw Gao E had understood him. "The more chaotic the times, the less likely you are to be a good person. You have a whole family here."

Gao E nodded.

Zheng Fengan really doesn't want anything to happen to the Chen family. The Chen family has done enough for Baotou Village, and Baotou Village now has to rely on the Chen family.

If someone must go to hell, then let him go to hell.

Only after Gao E promised not to bother with those people anymore did Zheng Fengan leave with peace of mind.

Watching Zheng Fengan leave, Gao E didn't think much about it, but was just wondering when Chen Ke and the others would come back.

Of course, another possibility is that Chen Ke and the others will not come back.

When Chen Ke saw the two hundred taels sent by Mo Xun, he promised that he could pay back the Gao family's two thousand taels. That is to say, Chen Ke had a way to turn the two hundred taels into two thousand taels when he went to the capital this time.

That was a tenfold increase, and Luo Dagang and Zheng Xiaoshun each brought 1,500 taels.

Even if Luo Qing'er was in the Gao family, Gao E was still gambling.

If she won the bet, she could almost achieve financial freedom and have two people she could trust absolutely. If she lost the bet...

Nine times out of ten you’ll lose when gambling, so take it easy.

As for Chen Ke, even if men become bad when they have money, he would still want to return home in glory.

After thinking about this, Gao E quickly calmed down and continued to make masks for the children.

After two days of tension, no one got sick in the village. After two more people died on Zheng Wang's side, the remaining people left because they saw that Baotou Village would not take them in.

Zheng Fengan and his men took the four people to a deserted place and cremated them, and then buried the ashes in their family's ancestral tomb.

Originally, Gao E wanted to send someone to see what the situation was in He County, but after thinking about it, she decided not to. Even if she knew the situation in He County, what could she do?

However, Chen Qing was a little restless and walked around outside several times in the morning.

Yang was guarding Gao E. Gao E wanted to ask, but Yang smiled at her. Gao E thought that something must have happened between the couple, and that her brother turned like this because of his sister-in-law.

In the end, Chen Qing was still ready to go find Gao E, but was blocked by Yang who was standing at the door.

"Go and see if our Xichen has gotten into trouble again?" Yang said loudly. "Now that my third sister-in-law is pregnant, tell the children not to run around."

When Chen Qing heard Yang say this, he opened and closed his mouth, but in the end he turned around and left without saying anything.

Gao E saw through the trick. Lei's pregnancy had not been made public yet, and her sister-in-law was not a talkative person, so how could she suddenly say this?

"What does big brother want to do?" Gao E asked curiously.

Yang sighed: "He is thinking about his parents."

Gao E suddenly realized that when she guessed that there was an epidemic outside, she thought of the two elders of the Chen family. However, there was no shortage of food and drink there, so as long as the two of them didn't mess around, there should be no problem.

"What my sister-in-law meant..." Gao E could see that her sister-in-law didn't want her brother to go.

"If he goes, can he come back?" Yang looked at Gao E.

Now outsiders are not allowed to enter the village. If Chen Qing goes out, he probably won’t be able to come back in time.

The key point is that there are so many children in the family. If one of them gets infected, won’t the family be in complete chaos?

Gao E thought about it and chose to remain silent.

Two days later, the villagers had returned to their normal work.

After going into the mountains last time, Mr. Yang couldn't stay idle, so he took Peng Can into the mountains early in the morning and said that the mushrooms were growing well and they wanted to pick more.

Gao E watched Master An making a sedan chair for Xiao Wu. Master An was very skillful and even carved patterns on it.

The children at home were still not allowed to go out, and were taught to read by Jin Chao, who vaguely had the demeanor of an elder brother.

At this time, a bell rang outside. Gao E sat up straight, thinking that it might be Chen Ke and the others who came back.

She turned her head and saw Chen Qing coming in with He Tangchun and Chang Zhinan.

"Sister-in-law, Lord He is here to see you." Chen Qing was a little nervous.

This is the official of He County, and he actually came to their house in person.

Everyone in the Chen family's courtyard was stunned, wondering whether they had to bow when meeting the official.

"Is Lord He well now?" Gao E stood up.

When everyone saw that Gao E did not salute, they also stood aside respectfully without saluting.

He Tangchun saw that the Chen family was polite, but not too polite: "Thanks to Mrs. Chen's medicine."

At first, He Tangchun did not use the medicine given by Gao E, but Chang Zhinan used it.

The doctor's attention was all on He Tangchun at the time and he had no time to take care of Chang Zhinan. Chang Zhinan thought that Gao would not harm him, and the medicine she gave him also contained Rhodiola rosea, so he decocted a dose.

Who would have thought that after taking the medicine, he had a good sleep and felt much lighter.

So he boiled the medicine twice more, and after drinking one dose, he was basically cured.

However, Lord He's condition was even more serious, so Chang Zhinan boldly asked Lord He to drink the medicine given by Gao E.

The doctor tried to stop him at first, but Chang Zhinan gave it his all and insisted on giving Lord He the medicine.

As a result, two days later, Mr. He showed obvious improvement, which surprised the doctor.

After two days of recuperation, he was no longer in any danger, but the epidemic in He County became more and more serious. He Tangchun then came to Chen's house in person to ask Gao E for the prescription.

"I'm glad I could help you, sir." Gao E didn't take credit for it. "I wonder what brings you here today?"
