On the second day, the autumn harvest continued in the village, and the people from Taibailou continued to come early in the morning to collect vegetables, carrying back two days' supply each time. Today, they requested another jar of more than 400 kilograms of sauerkraut, saying that they would send it to the branch in the next county.

The peppers were also red, and Manager Zhou directly asked for twenty kilograms, also wanting to share some with the store in the next county.

Taibai Tower's business has been booming these days. Manager Meng's face is almost broken with smiles. To thank Cheng Shuang and the others, he asked Manager Zhou to bring ten big carps this morning.

There were ten fish in total, each weighing five or six pounds. There was no jar big enough to store them at home, so Manager Zhou gave them the jar as well.

After harvesting the vegetables, they left. After breakfast, except for Wei Nanxing who went to help the headman deliver the goods, everyone else in the family was busy in the vegetable garden, watering the vegetable fields before the sun came out.

After watering, I used the five mu of land that was vacated after harvesting the mustard greens to plant two mu of land in the garden to grow Chinese cabbage.

The eggplants and tomatoes will continue to grow after being picked, but the Chinese cabbage has to be pulled out directly by the roots. In the past few days, only half of it is left, and it needs to be replanted.

The family was busy all morning and rested at home in the afternoon, but Cheng Shuang was not idle. She took the medicine box she bought from the mall, which was similar to the one used by doctors in the city, packed up her things and went to Cheng Daming's house to give Cheng Xiaomai a second injection.

When the villagers on the road saw her carrying a medicine box, they all said that she looked more and more like a doctor.

Cheng Daming and his wife were working in the fields, and they did not forget that today was the day they had an appointment with Cheng Shuang. When the time came, they stopped their work and went home.

But no one expected that as soon as they left, Cheng Dafu and Zhao Daya, whose fields were next to theirs, started arguing.

Zhao Daya saw Cheng Dafu sitting down and slacking off again after just finishing harvesting rice, cursing, "Why is my life so miserable that I married a lazy man like you?"

"With your lazy ways, how long will it take to harvest these acres of land?"

Hot weather can also make people irritable. Cheng Dafu got angry after being scolded and shouted, "Shut up, you keep nagging. If you have the energy to scold me, you might as well do more work."

Zhao Daya dropped her sickle and rushed forward. "Why should I work more? Every year when the autumn harvest came, I used to complain of headaches, pains here and there. This year my headaches are gone, so I have no excuses. I still want to stop working? You're dreaming."

"Didn't I tell you I'm quitting? I'm tired and need to take a break."

"Have you harvested even one mu of land since this morning?" Zhao Daya pointed to the next door. "Why don't you see how hardworking your brother Cheng Daming is? He's doing everything from harvesting rice to bundling and carrying rice. He does all the heavy work by himself and lets his wife do the easy work."

"Why don't you say that my brother's wife is better than mine? She can take care of everything at home, and she's also a good person, and everyone in the village praises her."

Cheng Dafu pointed at Zhao Daya's nose and said, "What about you? All you do is eat and curse. The villagers call you a shrew behind your back. And look at how much weight you've gained in the past two months. The meat you eat is all earned by me."

"You earn the money?" Zhao Daya became even more furious. "Besides collecting money when you're setting up the stall, what kind of work have you done? I'm the one who makes the braised meat every day. What's wrong with me working so hard to eat meat?"

"Without me, do you know how to make braised meat? You eat, eat, eat all day long. You've become as fat as a pig. I can't even eat it. You fat bitch."

Zhao Daya was stunned for a moment, then yelled, "How dare you call me a fat woman? You bastard, I gave birth to your children and worked like a slave for you, and you still dare to look down on me? Don't you see what a piece of shit you are?"

"Fat woman, damn fat woman." Cheng Dafu continued to curse.

Zhao Daya was completely furious and rushed up to fight with him.

In the past few months, the family has made some money selling braised food, and she has been able to eat meat every meal, so she has gained some weight. But she had lived a hard life for more than ten years. After making a little money and eating meat for a few days, they dared to look down on her.

Cheng Dafu's two daughters were so scared that they didn't dare to go forward and wanted to find someone to help, but the fields nearby were only theirs and Cheng Daming's, so Cheng Daming and his wife went back home.

They shouted loudly to stop fighting. People who were far away heard the noise and looked over, but saw that it was the couple fighting again and didn't bother to pay any attention.

Cheng Dafu grabbed Zhao Daya's hair and slapped her hard several times, then kicked her to the ground.

Zhao Daya touched the corner of her mouth and saw blood. She was so angry that her eyes turned red. She grabbed the sickle on the ground and rushed forward.

"what......"

Cheng Dafu screamed and fell to the ground, blood gushing out of his abdomen, and he couldn't cover it up even with his hands.

Zhao Daya was holding the bloody sickle in her hand and was also shocked. Hearing Cheng Dafu's screams, she shook her hand violently and threw the sickle far away.

Cheng is a famous scholar.

Cheng Shuang had just finished taking Cheng Xiaomai's pulse. The child was recovering well and looked much better. He was lying on the bed, holding the wild flowers that Cheng Shuang had picked on the roadside on the way here.

Cheng Shuang took out a small stove from the medicine box and lit some calming incense. She sat by the bed to disinfect the needles and undressed the child. She said gently, "Xiaomi, today is different from last time. It might be a little painful, so bear with it."

Cheng Xiaomai nodded obediently, "Well, I'm not afraid of pain. Sister-in-law Wei San, can you really cure me?"

Cheng Shuang smiled, "Of course."

"Before, my aunt said that I couldn't be cured and asked my parents not to treat me, saying it would be a waste of money and I wouldn't grow up. My mother quarreled with my aunt and hid at home crying, and never spoke to her again. Sister-in-law Wei San, if you can cure me, can you raise me?"

Cheng Shuang gently reached out and touched her head. "Sister-in-law will cure you and let Xiaomai grow up safely. When she grows up, she will be filial to her parents."

After saying that, he began to insert the needle. After a while, there was a sudden noise outside the quiet door, and someone shouted, "Daming, your second brother is in trouble."

Then it seemed as if someone stopped them, and the outside became quiet again. Cheng Shuang ignored it and concentrated on her own treatment.

After the injection, Xiaomai fell into a deep sleep. Cheng Shuang packed up the medicine box and left the room. As soon as she opened the door, Chen came up to her and asked anxiously how the child was.

"It's okay, just let her sleep and wake up. Or as I said before, give her a medicinal bath every day. Auntie can come to my house to get the medicine in the evening."

Chen held her hand and said excitedly, "Cheng Shuang, thank you so much. Tell me how I can repay you."

Cheng Shuang shook her head. "Aunt, what you said is not true. I am a doctor. I get paid for seeing patients and prescribing medicine. What's the point of talking about repayment or not?"

Chen wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and didn't know what to say. She said that she took the money, but she knew that with Cheng Shuang's medical skills, the consultation fee could not be only ten cents.

In the past, the old scholar Li Cheng in the village had leg pain, so he asked an outside doctor to come to his home and give him acupuncture to cure it. I heard that the cost was shockingly high.

Cheng Shuang only charged ten cents for the consultation fee and medicine, and did not charge for the acupuncture treatment at all. How could she not know this?

"Auntie, if everything is ok, I'll go back first."

Cheng Shuang was really not used to sentimental and polite talk, so she said goodbye.

"Oh, okay." Chen nodded quickly, then called her son over, "Xiaoguo, you stay home and look after your sister. I'll go to your second uncle's house to take a look."

Cheng Xiaoguo's second uncle was Cheng Dafu. Cheng Shuang remembered that when she was giving acupuncture, she seemed to hear someone say that something had happened.

The two of them went out together. Cheng Shuang asked curiously, "Auntie, what happened?"

Chen shook her head. "I don't know the details yet. They say the couple got into a fight while working in the fields, and Cheng Dafu was injured."

After walking for a while, they saw Cheng Dafu's house. On this day of autumn harvest, there were actually quite a few villagers gathered there. Seeing this, Cheng Shuang had to admire the gossips of the people in Chengjia Village. They would gather wherever there was excitement.

Out of curiosity, she followed Chen over. As soon as she got there, she heard several villagers say, "There's so much blood. I hope no one is dead."

Cheng Shuang frowned. No way, a couple fighting and killing someone, is that so serious?
