Divorced woman with child travels through time

The young master recovered after a while, and seeing that he was alright, the crowd dispersed and continued their stroll. The young man, accompanied by his servant, continued wandering around, muttering curses under his breath. As they drew closer, Chen Wenfang heard the servant say, "Young master, you still won't take your medicine. Madam will beat me later. You'll beat me too, and Madam will beat me too. Why is my life so miserable?"

The young master said, "Why are you suffering? Is your medicine as bitter as mine? I've been taking it for so many days and it's not making me any better. I'm not taking it anyway. Let whoever wants to take it, I'd rather cough myself to death than take it." After saying that, he let out another soft, low cough.

Chen Wenfang thought to herself, "This is a business opportunity!" She immediately stood up, bowed, and said in a soft, gentle voice, "Young Master, if you have a cough, you can try my family's ancestral herbal remedy. It's absolutely effective. If it doesn't work, I won't charge you."

The young master turned his head, sized Chen Wenfang up and down, then looked down at the unidentified herbs on the ground. They were cleaned quite well, but he was still a little uneasy about something that would be ingested, so he asked doubtfully, "Is it really effective? I'm a young master of the Ouyang family. If you dare to lie to me, I'll break your legs!"

Looking at the arrogant young master, Chen Wenfang quickly smiled and said, "Who doesn't know Young Master Ouyang? I wouldn't dare to say anything carelessly about medicine. I see that your eyes are red, there are dark circles under your eyes, and your mouth is slightly hot. It must be because you coughed all night and couldn't sleep well, which caused you to get internal heat. My herbal medicine is just right for your symptoms. If you don't believe me, you can buy a dose and try it. It's morning now. If you go back and decoct a dose now, take a nap at noon, and you will definitely not cough as much in the afternoon."

Ouyang Jin looked at the clean and gentle woman in front of him and thought to himself, "What she said makes sense. She probably isn't a scammer." He then asked, "So how much is this? What if I buy it and you run away?"

Chen Wenfang said, "I won't run away, I still have the child with me." As she spoke, she moved her body aside, revealing the child sitting next to her eating peanuts. Chen Xuanyu, perfectly in keeping with the occasion, opened his big eyes and looked innocently at Ouyang Jin.

Looking into the bright, clear eyes of the four-year-old, Ouyang Jin felt a little guilty and asked, "How much are these herbs?"

Chen Wenfang pointed to the small package and said, "One package costs 10 coins, and a large package costs 50 coins. For your symptoms, take six of these large packages. Boil two packages with two bowls of water down to one bowl of water and drink it for two days. If you find it too bitter, you can add some sugar. You can drink this as a cooling herbal tea to relieve heat, so don't worry."

"Tch, so cheap! Give me six packs!" Ouyang Jin tossed a loose silver coin at the bottom of his tongue. "Wangcai, take these and go."

He walked away saying, "I'm coming to see you this afternoon, and if things don't go well, you'll regret it," without even turning his head.

Chen Wenfang carefully put away the money, wrapped up several packets of medicine, and handed them to Wangcai. "Thank you."

Once they were out of sight, Aunt Liu asked her, "Is this herb really that effective?"

Chen Wenfang laughed and said, "Would I lie to you? You're my Aunt Liu, and the weather's getting warmer soon, I'll send you two packs later."

Aunt Liu said, "I've never seen anything like it before. Young Master Ouyang is really generous; that's probably half a tael of silver. Now you don't have to worry about food. But what if it doesn't work? Maybe we should go home."

Chen Wenfang smiled and said, "No, I believe in the efficacy of this medicine."

After the young master bought a few packets, he sold a few more small packets of herbal medicine. Seeing that he didn't have enough paper, Chen Wenfang went to the shop and bought a few more sheets. He waited anxiously until the afternoon, while Aunt Liu and the others waited anxiously. His peanuts were more than half sold, but Chen Wenfang seemed unconcerned. Only when they saw Wangcai running over with a happy face did they relax. It seemed to be working! Wangcai walked to Chen Wenfang's stall, tossed down another piece of silver, and said, "Buy six more packets. The young master of the Li family in Linju also has a cough. Where are you from?"

Chen Wenfang laughed and said, "The one behind that big medicinal herb mountain."

Aunt Liu, who was standing nearby, also said, "We're from Wangjiazhuang, we can testify for her."

Wangcai said, "Yes, he's being very dutiful. My young master is watching."

Chen Wenfang laughed and said, "I learned the phrase 'a young woman should be frugal' from the person next to me."
