You are unlucky and I am tough

Cheng Shuang hadn't expected to be seen by him. She turned away and whispered to Wei Qinglang, "Believe it or not, that scene just now was staged by Song and his friend. He had a crush on the dancing girl and was deliberately putting on a show."

Wei Qinglang laughed, "It's quite obvious. The ancients were so easy to fool."

As soon as the two finished talking, Song Hui stood up and walked over.

He was dressed in a brocade green robe and looked like a young man from a wealthy family. He smiled and bowed slightly to Cheng Shuang, "Cheng Shuang, long time no see."

Song Hui was not at peace. He felt that Cheng Shuang was different from before. Her hair was tied up in a woman's hairstyle, but her face was more beautiful than before.

I haven't seen him for almost two years, but I still feel excited when I see him again.

Cheng Shuang didn't pretend not to know him and said sarcastically, "Hey, isn't this Mr. Song? Long time no see!"

"How are you? I heard you're married."

As Song Hui spoke, he glanced at the tall man next to him. He looked pretty good, but his temperament showed that he was a country bumpkin.

The country bumpkin frowned at him, "Why are you still trying to make a name for yourself when you know she's married?"

Song Hui laughed in his heart. The country bumpkin was indeed anxious, but he still maintained a humble and polite attitude. "You are the man she married, right? Cheng Shuang is a very good girl. I hope you can treat her well."

"Are you sick?" Cheng Shuang couldn't help but glared at him.

"Are you still blaming me?" Song Hui smiled bitterly. "I had my own reasons at the time. My family only wanted me to marry a woman of equal social status. Do you know that I even fought against them for you?"

Cheng Shuang was speechless and laughed. She looked at him as if he were looking at something strange. "I said, aren't you being too self-indulgent? Do I blame you? Who are you? It was you who fell in love with me and proposed marriage. Did I ever say I agreed to the marriage?"

Song Hui “.............”

When did that delicate and timid little girl become so eloquent?

"I know I broke your heart."

"Stop, I'm going to throw up, okay?"

Song Hui wanted to say more, but Cheng Shuang quickly raised her hand to stop him. She stood up and pulled Wei Qinglang up with her.

Patting Wei Qinglang's arm, Cheng Shuang said, "See? This is my husband. He's taller and more handsome than you. He's educated and can recite poems and write couplets. He's also learned martial arts and can shoot arrows and hunt. That's called being both civil and military, you know? In my heart, you're not even worth a finger of his, so I beg you, don't imagine that I blame you or still miss you, okay? What's so special about you that makes me miss you?"

Song Hui's face was tense, and he could barely maintain his image as a gentle gentleman. He actually said that he was no better than a country bumpkin.

He wanted to say something else, but Cheng Shuang was too lazy to pay attention to him. She raised her hand and said, "Husband, let's go."

Before she could pull her hand back, it was held by a big hand, and Wei Qinglang directly held her hand.

Cheng Shuang was stunned for a moment, then quickly moved over and hugged his arm.

Song Hui's words were completely choked in his throat. He watched them smile at each other and turned to go to the counter to pay.

He returned to his seat with a lost look on his face. His companion came over and asked, "Who is that young lady? The guy sitting next to her is her man, right? Brother Song, do you still have this hobby?"

Song Hui smiled bitterly, "She's just an old friend. I've let her down."

The others at the table were even more certain that he and the woman had something going on, and they joked, "But the young lady is indeed beautiful. If we can spend a night together, it wouldn't be a problem for her to get married."

Song Hui sighed helplessly, and did not even stop his companions from swearing. He looked up at the woman dancing on the stage, and a smile soon appeared on his face again.

Without caring about what happened to Song Hui afterwards, the two of them settled the bill. Cheng Shuang didn't take her hand away until they left Taibai Tower.

"Thanks, you're quite cooperative."

Wei Qinglang's expression remained calm. "What else? Should I expose your intentions and accuse you of being a fake couple?"

Cheng Shuang snorted twice, put her hands behind her back and changed the subject, "Well, we're out of soapberries for washing clothes at home. Let's go to the grocery store and buy some to bring back."

Taking the donkey cart, the two went to the grocery store, bought soapberries, bath beans and tooth powder, and returned to the village.

On the way, we also talked about whether we should try making soap. The bath beans here are expensive, costing one or two taels of silver, and they are not durable. If we can make soap, it will be more convenient for my brothers and sisters to take a bath and wash clothes.

Cheng Shuang also did some calculations. One tael of silver deposited into the system account was equivalent to one thousand copper coins, which could buy one hundred bars of soap.

When you calculate it this way, it is indeed a loss. Wei Qinglang said that he would first check how to do it specifically and try it when he has time.

The donkey cart entered the village. In the past, every time I went to the county town and came back, the villagers would ask me all kinds of questions. But today it was unexpectedly quiet because no one from the Qiaotou Intelligence Station was there.

An older woman wearing a straw hat and carrying a hoe was walking along the main road of the village. She saw a donkey cart slowly entering the village and followed it. "Hey, you two are back from the county."

Cheng Shuang nodded and replied with a smile, "Yes, Aunt Jingui is going to the fields?"

"Isn't it time to harvest the rice soon? Let's go to the fields and see if anyone has put water in our house again."

"Oh, when does everyone start the autumn harvest?"

"The village head said that the whole village will have the autumn harvest in a few days."

Aunt Jingui is popular in the village and is a very nice person. Cheng Shuang chatted with her for a while and asked puzzledly, "By the way, Aunt, why do I feel that the village seems a little quiet today?"

Aunt Jingui lowered her voice, "You may not know yet, but Aunt Xinghua's daughter-in-law is giving birth. She tried to give birth this morning but hasn't given birth yet. All the idle people in the village have gone there."

She really didn't know, but there were indeed several pregnant women in the village. Last month, two women gave birth, both of whom were delivered by Cheng Po, a woman in the village who had experience in midwifery. One family gave birth all night and finally gave birth to a grandson. They also held a wedding banquet and Cheng Shuang was stuffed with wedding cakes when she passed by the door.

The donkey cart continued forward and separated from Aunt Jingui. When passing by the village head's house, they saw many people there. Aunt Xinghua lived next door to Village Head Cheng. Many people were sitting in the threshing ground chatting and waiting for news. When they saw the donkey cart passing by, few of them paid attention to them.

After returning home, the two called their younger brother and sister-in-law over and told them about the business they had negotiated with Taibailou. They also told Wei Nanxing that after the autumn harvest began, he would go to deliver goods to the headman's house for a few days. Wei Nanxing readily agreed.

After resting for a while, Cheng Shuang thought about finding Xu Sanpo to talk about asking her family to grow mustard greens. When she went to Xu's house and asked, Daqing's wife said that someone had gone to Aunt Xinghua's house to help, and Aunt Xinghua and Xu Sanpo's family were related.

Cheng Shuang turned around and went to look for Chen. Chen was rolling hay in the yard, while Xiaomai and Xiaoguo were playing in the yard.

Seeing Cheng Shuang coming, Chen quickly called her son, "Xiaoguo, move a stool out and pour a cup of tea for your sister-in-law."

Cheng Shuang sat down in the yard, took the water poured by Cheng Xiaoguo, and looked at Cheng Xiaomai who ran to her. Then she remembered that she seemed to have forgotten to treat the child.

She took a sip of water and got straight to the point. "Aunt Chen, I came here today for two things. The first is Xiaomai. I asked my master about her illness, and he taught me how to treat it. If you trust me, please let me treat Xiaomai."

"You, you mean that my Xiaomai's disease can be cured?" Chen stammered, a little bit unbelieving.

Cheng Shuang waved Xiaomai to come closer and took her pulse. The nervous Chen had red eyes and dared not breathe.

After taking the pulse, Cheng Shuang nodded affirmatively, "It can be cured."

Chen's tears immediately fell. "Then cure it. No matter how expensive the medicine is or how much money it costs, I will sell my fields, my land, my house, as long as it can cure you."

Cheng Shuang said, "There's no need to sell land or houses, and she doesn't need to take medicine in the early stages. I'll give her a few acupuncture treatments and a few medicinal baths to see how she recovers, and then I'll give her medicine to regulate her condition."

"Okay, okay, I'll listen to you."

Ever since Cheng Shuang cured their headache, Chen had full faith in Cheng Shuang's medical skills. She excitedly grabbed Cheng Shuang's hand and said, "How can I thank you?"

Cheng Shuang smiled and said, "Then if I have any problems in the future, I will ask you for help directly without hesitation."

"Well, come anytime."

After talking about the treatment, Cheng Shuang told Chen about growing mustard greens. Chen agreed immediately after hearing it. This was a job that gave her family a way to make money, so how could she not agree?

The two were discussing the details when Wei Qinglang suddenly arrived, having run all the way over. He stood at the door, panting, "Aunt Xinghua's daughter-in-law is having a difficult labor. They say... the fetus is in a malposition and is in a very dangerous state. The village head asked me to ask if you have any solutions."
