The fake daughter married into the mountains and had meat to eat every day during the famine

Faced with the dire situation in the county, Xinglin Medical Clinic was the first to announce its free medical consultation service.

The clinic will remain open as usual, but a consultation desk will be set up outside the clinic, and a doctor will be sent there for two hours every day to diagnose poor people who cannot afford medical treatment.

After consulting Song Yuntang, Mingyue Tower transported 20 stone of grain from the farm and donated it to the government in the name of Mingyue Tower as supplies for the resettlement of the victims.

The total amount of grain that Zhuangzi had collected from farmers before, plus the grain rewarded by the court and purchased by Song Yuntang, was 1,135 dan.

Excluding the grains sold to the workers some time ago, the grains consumed by the chickens and ducks, and the grains eaten at home, in the shop, and on the farm, and then excluding the twenty shi donated this time, there are still a total of nine hundred and eighty-two shi left.

We don’t know what the harvest will be like next year, but at this rate of consumption, we have to stockpile some more food just to be on the safe side.

It’s just that the grain prices in Anyang County have risen too high.

If you have a large stockpile, it would be most cost-effective to transport it from areas that have not been affected by the disaster.

But if the noise is too loud, it will definitely attract attention.

After thinking about it, Song Yuntang called Xu Wencheng.

"Wencheng, ride back to Lushan Village and tell them I want to buy some grain from out of town and need able-bodied men to escort me. If anyone is willing to contribute, they can buy grain from me at the price before the price increase."

This year everyone’s harvest is poor, and the food consumption in winter is high.

If there are many people in the family, they need to eat at least dozens of kilograms every month just to keep the family barely fed and clothed.

If we could buy grain at the price before the price increase, we could save a lot of money.

In this way, not only was the food crisis in Lushan Village solved, but she was also able to buy back the food at the lowest cost.

It can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

Most of the villagers in Lushan Village are relatively kind and are related to her family. When they learned that Lin Zhaozhao had smashed her shop, many people in the village stood up for her. Now that food prices are rising, she is willing to step forward and take the lead in order to prevent the whole village from going hungry.

The most important thing is that she won’t lose money by selling the grain.

Xu Wencheng responded and went home to get his horse.

My sister-in-law is doing a good deed, and I think everyone in the village should be willing to come forward.

……

Because of the free medical consultation, the clinic is busier than before.

Seven days later, Song Jinsheng came to the county town to find Song Yuntang again.

"Tang'er, sister-in-law gave birth!"

Song Yuntang, who was sorting medical records at the examination table, raised his head, his face expressionless.

"When did this happen?"

"Just yesterday morning, I was helping to rush goods to the farm. My cousin came to work early in the morning and brought me the news. He went home yesterday morning and gave the gift to my niece."

As Song Jinsheng spoke, he sat down in front of her and picked up the teapot beside him to pour himself a glass of water.

"After the baby was born, my parents and my eldest brother were all very happy, but my eldest sister-in-law didn't seem very happy."

Song Yuntang closed the medical record in his hand.

"Right now, the family has no worries about food and clothing, and my eldest brother and father have arranged things for her to do. What else can she be unhappy about?"

Song Jinsheng looked at her and whispered, "My sister-in-law disliked the fact that she gave birth to a girl. She said she thought it would be a boy, which caused her to suffer so much."

Because of her cold attitude towards her little niece, her mother felt helpless. In order to let her have a good rest last night, she took her little niece to sleep all night, and only took her to her room to feed her when she was hungry.

Even so, she was lukewarm in her attitude and was not even willing to feed her milk.

He was a little confused. His parents and elder brother were all happy, and even he, his uncle, was happy. No one blamed her for giving birth to a girl. He didn't know why she was unhappy.

Song Yuntang was even more speechless.

Wasn’t Liu like this before?

But she was as easily influenced as Zhao, and was almost instigated by her neighbor Tian Qiuyan to suspect that she had harmed the baby in her belly. Did someone say something in front of her?

Or maybe, she has always been a person who favors boys over girls.

It's just that she had never been a mother before, so she didn't show it.

"Why should I dislike my own child? Isn't she a woman herself?"

Song Jinsheng nodded.

"That's right, and my parents and brother don't dislike this child either. My aunt said yesterday that she always wanted a daughter, but ended up giving birth to a bunch of boys. She also said she envied my sister-in-law for having a girl as her first child."

Song Yuntang said calmly, "Whether you have a son or a daughter is God's will, it's beyond human control. A girl isn't necessarily inferior to a boy."

Song Jinsheng completely agreed with this statement.

"Sister, I want to ask you, what do girls generally like?"

Song Yuntang listed them one by one.

"Jewelry, clothes, and silver, there should be no girl who doesn't like these three things."

The second brother who was forced to come to his senses must want to prepare a gift for his future sister-in-law to apologize, right?

If I had known he could be so dull, I should have told him when we got engaged.

Song Jinsheng looked at her in surprise.

"Just give me silver?"

Song Yuntang glanced at him and said, "I don't know about others, but if anyone gives me money, I will definitely be happy."

Doctor Sun, who was standing by, heard the conversation between the brother and sister and suppressed a smile on his face.

This was the only time Song Jinsheng felt that his sister's words were unreliable.

How can you give money to a girl?

If this gets out, won’t others laugh at him to death?

Moreover, he didn't have much silver on hand. He originally had five or six taels. He gave three taels to his mother when he went back and spent two taels on a gift for his little niece. Now he had less than one tael left.

It's really not possible to just give money as a gift.

When buying clothes, he didn't know the size, but he could consider jewelry, but he was worried that Mu Qiu wouldn't like it.

"Apart from these, is there nothing else?"

"Other things..." Song Yuntang thought for a moment, "Xu Qingye often buys snacks for me, you can also try buying some for your sister-in-law."

Hearing this, Song Jinsheng slapped his thigh.

"That's a good idea."

Girls in every family have always liked sweets, but my brother-in-law has a way.

Thinking of what Song Yuntang had just called him, he scratched his head in embarrassment, "Mu Qiu and I haven't gotten married yet, it's a bit too early to call me sister-in-law."

Song Yuntang jokingly said, "Don't you have to adapt to this in advance?"

Song Jinsheng chuckled, and after a moment, looked at Song Yuntang.

"When I was in Cile Town, I went to the southern suburbs twice. Mu Dong and Mu Qiu are both in the provincial capital now, leaving my aunt alone at home feels a bit lonely. Is there a holiday this year for the New Year? If not, I want to come back next time to pick up the goods and bring my aunt to the provincial capital to reunite with Mu Dong and Mu Qiu."

The first time he visited, he brought some food, dried fruits and snacks.

Since he didn't show up when the engagement took place, he came to apologize and see if there was anything he could help with.

When Cui saw him, she was surprised at first, and then warmly invited him in. While he was fetching water for the house, she even ran to buy a piece of meat to cook for him.

At that time, I wanted to take out all the good things in the house and give them to him.

The second time I met him was in town. The bottom of Cui's pot was leaking, so she went to the blacksmith shop to repair it.

He happened to be in town on something, and when he saw Cui carrying a pot and walking home with her back hunched, he took the initiative to help her carry the pot back home.

At that time, I felt that it was not easy for her, an elderly woman in poor health, to stay alone at home.
