I do beauty in Jianghu

Chapter 18 8. On the Right Track

Xiaoyu was taken aback for a moment.

So early, who will come to the door?

No matter who comes to the door, it is my savior!

The rescued little fish was so excited that he fell unsteadily on his back and fell to the ground, rolled over, then limped and ran to open the door.

A sickly woman stood outside the door, holding two children with both hands. The eldest was about fifteen or sixteen years old. With a beautiful appearance, even in coarse clothes, it can be seen that she is a beauty.

The other is a little girl with a face covered in burns, the same one who came to steal the pearl ointment last night.

The three stood timidly outside the door, Xiaoyu let them in, but they didn't dare, so Xiaoyu hurried back to wake Bai Muxi up.

The woman is here to apologize.

"I've been sick for the past few days, and I didn't know that the children made such a foolish decision behind my back. I'm really sorry for you. After I got the pearl plaster back, I told me the truth, and I immediately scolded you. After leaving her, we dare not touch this pearl ointment at all, and I will bring it to you today, and I hope you can forgive them."

The woman is dressed in simple clothes, but her conversation is gentle and polite. She is not like an ordinary peasant woman. She is still seriously ill and weak, but she can still have a soft, quiet and elegant face.

The girl named Wenwen has been kneeling beside the woman, with her head down, not daring to speak.

Bai Muxi sighed slightly, and said: "I know, I gave this pearl ointment to her on my own initiative, and she told me about your family's difficulties, but I... To be honest, I am also struggling now, and I just rented this yard , I really can’t help you much, this half box of pearl ointment is just your heart, you don’t have to refuse.”

The woman lowered her head sadly, her frail body was almost crushed by the hard life.

Wenwen kept her head down, and when she heard her mother sigh, her shoulders trembled slightly.

The boy standing next to him looked at the woman, as if he had finally made up his mind, he suddenly knelt down towards Bai Muxi.

"Master, you can buy me, let me do anything! As long as 60 taels of silver, be a child prostitute! Be a slave! Be an ox or a horse! As long as it can save my mother's life, I can do anything!"

Wenwen, who was kneeling beside him, also moved his knees and moved forward, sobbing, "I, I can also sign that... that deed of sale! I will be a cow and a horse for the master for the rest of my life!"

Seeing the two children like this, the woman couldn't help scolding them, but as soon as she made a sound, a string of tears fell, and she couldn't make a sound.

She originally intended that she would rather die than let the children betray her, but the filial piety and sincerity of the two children made her choke with sadness.

Bai Muxi suddenly panicked.

"I……"

He couldn't see this kind of scene, and his eyes were flushed with disappointment, but now that he has three mouths in the family and needs to get medicine for Qi Ming, he really doesn't have much money in his hands.

The two children kowtowed to the ground 'bang bang bang'.

Just when the scene made Bai Muxi more panic-stricken, a cold voice suddenly came from the side.

"Are you threatening him?"

Qi Ming stood by the door, looking at the two children coldly.

Wenwen was very afraid of him, so he immediately hid beside his brother, the boy hurriedly hugged his sister, his face was flushed with embarrassment, and he was speechless.

It sounded like begging, and I did have some thoughts about it, hoping that Bai Muxi would be kind-hearted and save them a way out.

Bai Muxi was afraid that Qi Ming would say something nasty again, and he also had some thoughts in his mind, so he hurriedly got up and pulled Qi Ming aside, and discussed with him in a low voice.

"You think, okay?"

He was still moved with compassion.

Qi Ming was noncommittal: "It's up to you."

Bai Muxi stomped anxiously: "Isn't this a discussion with you? Money is so tight now, 60 taels of silver, I can't get it out for a while."

He was in a hurry, but he still wanted to help, so Qi Ming sighed: "It's enough to give that woman my medicine money."

It also saves me to drink that nasty and useless medicine every day, just to make Bai Muxi feel better.

Bai Muxi flatly refused: "How can that be done!"

Qi Ming: "... To be honest, those medicines are really of little use to me, it might as well be used to save her life."

Bai Muxi stared at him: "Then what kind of medicine is useful, you tell me!"

Qi Ming wrote lightly: "You can't afford medicines that are very useful."

Bai Muxi was angry: "You!"

Speaking of this, Qi Ming couldn't help complaining to him: "I told you that it's a bad prescription prescribed by a quack doctor. If you insist on believing it, it's a waste of money."

Bai Muxi argued: "It's better to be useful than useless. I think you look better recently."

Qi Ming disdained: "My good complexion has nothing to do with the medicine you bought."

Bai Muxi wanted to bite him.

After saying a few words, Qi Ming himself felt that it was feasible: "You give her the money for the medicine, and it would be good to exchange two servants who have signed a contract of sale, so that you can save yourself the trouble of making pearl ointment later, and you have to grind it yourself."

Xiaoyu is not good at doing delicate work, he was kicked out after a while after helping, and he had to do it by himself after all, he worked until midnight every day, his wrists were swollen, and when he accidentally touched it while sleeping at night, it hurt so badly, and then he Qi Ming lost his temper.

Bai Muxi was still worried: "In this way, there will be six mouths to eat."

Even if wages are not paid, the daily food expenses add up to a small number.

Qi Ming: "I told you, if I save my medicine money, I will have everything. Besides, it's not a good medicine. It's just giving money to people."

As he said that, Qi Ming suddenly smiled eccentrically: "But having said that, this story will spread, and later the poor people will come to the door with their children to kowtow to you, and see what you can do."

Bai Muxi bit her lower lip, thought for a while, and said seriously: "If I can help, I will try my best to help within the scope of my ability to ensure that our daily life is okay. If I can't help, there is nothing I can do."

Along the way, he has been bullied by many people, and he has also received help from many people. He knows how it feels to be pulled by someone when he is in a desperate situation.

If possible, he is also willing to extend this hand.

Qi Ming looked at him and stopped talking.

After making up his mind, Bai Muxi walked back slowly, and said to the woman, if you want to work here, you can do it, but I can't take out the 60 taels of silver all at once, do you want all of them right away?Or can it be paid in installments?

The medicine has to be taken slowly, and the money can naturally be given slowly. Seeing that Bai Muxi is willing to save their lives, the woman is already very grateful, so naturally she has no other opinions.

Just talking about work, Bai Muxi didn't want to sign the deed of sale, and only let them do ordinary long-term work, but the boy was afraid that Bai Muxi would repent, so he insisted on signing the deed of sale for himself and his sister, and got Bai Muxi's IOU, so that he could feel at ease.

After the matter was settled, Bai Muxi asked about the woman's illness carefully, and found that it was not a particularly intractable and complicated disease. 60 taels could be cured properly, but for the poor who had already lost their homes, even Such a common illness is enough to kill them.

Bai Muxi felt sad for a while, thinking of the old beggar who used to take care of him, because he had a high fever in winter and had no money for medical treatment, so he had to carry it hard and died like this.

Money, money, money, once money is involved, life is nothing.

The woman told Bai Muxi that it would be good to call herself Qiuniang, her daughter was named Qiuwen, and her son was named Qiuchu.

The original house was a broken house with air leaks everywhere, not suitable for Qiuniang to recuperate, so Bai Muxi put Qiuniang and Wenwen in the study, and let Qiuchu and Xiaoyu sleep in the original woodshed, such a courtyard was suddenly full.

Bai Muxi's pressure doubled.

Fortunately, the business has just been opened, and there has been no intentional obstruction from others for the time being. After the first batch of people who paid the deposit received the pearl cream, the reputation of Ling Jingyunzhi Pearl Cream's reputation was slightly improved, so the second batch of pre-orders There were many more people, and the second batch of goods was fully booked within ten days.

After receiving more than 20 boxes of deposits, Bai Muxi can be regarded as a little relieved.

Although Qiuniang's illness came on urgently, it wasn't too serious. The doctor who treated her was good at medicine. After taking the medicine for a few days, her health improved. Therefore, Bai Muxi had a capable helper who could cook with ease. It saves me a lot of worry. Sometimes I'm too tired to move, so Qiuniang prepares the meals for them by herself. It's just that the craftsmanship is average, and she doesn't seem to be a long time master.

Qiuniang has a good temper. Although the deed of sale of the two children was given to Bai Muxi, Qiuniang knows in her heart that the deed of sale is actually worthless. If it wasn't for Bai Muxi's intention to help, these two deeds of sale are just waste paper .

So when she is busy, she does not forget to educate the two children from time to time, and she must remember Bai Muxi's kindness, and she should not be lazy just because someone is helping her.

And in the yard, there were two more figures wandering around looking for something to do, Wen Wen and Qiu Chu.

The yard is really too small, counting the firewood house, there are only three bedrooms, a kitchen, and a small gazebo at the door. Three children who do odd jobs have been added at once, and all of them are afraid that Bai Muxi will be unhappy and drive him away. He had to find something to do when he had nothing to do, so he kept the few rooms in the yard spotless.

And everyone's clothes were taken by Qiuniang. She washed clothes gently and carefully, and she was better at serving Bai Muxi's expensive and light material than Qi Ming.

Qi Ming was even more lonely.

Teaching Xiaoyu how to practice kung fu and watching Xiaoyu die in pain became his only pleasure to pass the time.

Xiaoyu began to formally practice the basic skills, taking the horse step for an hour each morning and evening, shaking his legs every day, repeating it like a nightmare every day.

When Qiuchu had nothing to do, she also followed him in the strides. Unfortunately, she was weaker than Xiaoyu, and her performance was not up to standard, so she just joined in the fun, and Qiuniang was left holding Wenwen and laughing at the two silly sieves.

In the distance, Qi Ming meditates quietly and adjusts his breath.

The days passed quietly and peacefully.

The efficacy of more than 30 boxes of pearl ointment has gradually spread in the circle centered on Liu Chuyun, and cheap and useful things can't help but be shared with others, so the little sisters pass it on to each other, and many people share it with others. I know this Lingjing Yunzhi Pearl Cream.

The initial word-of-mouth gradually had some effect, and there was an endless stream of people who came to the door, most of them still targeted Liu Chuyun, and some people came to visit Bai Muxi directly.

Finally a guest came to the door, Xiaoyu, the doorman, finally had a place to play, and he ran very diligently to report back and forth every day.

The effect of visiting Bai Muxi directly is very impressive, because they can all see with their own eyes the scarred Qi Ming in the yard, who was dragged by Bai Muxi to show them the effect of pearl ointment.

Qiuchu and Wenwen also started using pearl ointment.

Before the second batch arrived, Liu Chuyun and Bai Muxi had already started collecting the deposit for the third batch.

The funds in Bai Muxi's hands that could not be transferred at all began to work hard and hard.

The business is gradually on the right track, and everything is starting to develop in a good direction.

Except Qi Ming.
