Chapter 27: Three Visits to the City

By the time Zeng Wenjuan found out about Zhao Zhaocai's injury, it had been a week. After taking ginseng, the toxins in Zhao Zhaocai's body did not dissipate and his leg injury had healed. But Zeng Wenjuan did not take it to heart.

Zhao Zhaocai had been lying in bed for a week, and when he found out that he only had ginseng from his own home, he flew into a rage and threw the bowl on the bedside table directly at Zhou Li's feet, shouting, "Bitch."

Zhou Li was not of good temper either, especially since she had been taking care of Zhao Zhaocai for the past week, so she had lost her temper. She threw the dishes and chopsticks in her hands to the ground one by one and rushed directly towards Zhao Zhaocai.

"Why do you scold me? If I hadn't been by your side taking care of you this week, would you have recovered so quickly? It was you who wanted to go up the mountain, got bit by a snake, and wasted a ginseng. You promised to buy me clothes, leather shoes, a sewing machine, a radio, and a TV, but you didn't give me any of them. How dare you scold me now? If you don't want to live with me anymore, then we can get divorced. It's not like no one wants me."

After being scolded like this, Zhao Zhaocai finally reacted. He immediately grabbed Zhou Li's hand and handcuffed it behind her back. He then kissed Zhou Li viciously.

It was unknown how long it was before Zhao Zhaocai let go of Zhou Li. Zhou Li sat on Zhao Zhaocai's lap, panting, and looked at him fiercely.

Zhao Zhaocai was clamoring to marry Zhou Li at that time, and he must have loved her sincerely. After seeing her current state, he hugged her and coaxed her: "Don't be angry, my wife. I'm not scolding you. During this period, Zeng Wenjuan was very different. One day I heard that she also taught the villagers to recognize medicinal herbs.

Then I thought of the ginseng I found on the mountain. When I got to the mountain, there was no trace of the ginseng. I suspected that she had stolen it. And the poisonous snake must have been left there by her. She wanted to harm me. "

Zhou Li's eyes rolled around, and she immediately figured it out. She said to Zhao Zhaocai slyly, "Zeng Wenjuan stole our ginseng. How much did you sell it for? No... I'm going to get the money back now." After saying that, she wanted to rush out. After all, she had been bullying Zeng Wenjuan for many years. So she still thought Zeng Wenjuan was still the softie.

Zhao Zhaocai immediately pulled Zhou Li back and said gently, "Wife, if you go and take it like this, everyone in the village will know about it! Everything in the mountains belongs to the public. If we are asked to confiscate it, we won't get much."

Zhou Li trusted Zhao Zhaocai very much. She frowned and looked at him, saying unhappily, "So what do you think we should do now? It's impossible to give so much money to that bitch Zeng Wenjuan! Or do you still want to rekindle your old relationship with her?"

"How could that be! I don't have any feelings for her. At most, she is my nanny. The person I love the most is you. I won't even look at anyone else." Zhao Zhaocai coaxed her with sweet words.

Zhou Li raised her eyebrows slightly, looking seductive, and said with a sweet smile: "You'd better do it, otherwise I will confiscate your tools."

Zhao Zhaocai turned over and pinned the man down, saying with a smile: "Even if the tools used in the crime are confiscated, you will still suffer. See how I punish you. I want to see if you dare to say this again in the future."

"Oh! What are you doing? It's still daytime." Zhou Li pushed Zhao Zhaocai reluctantly, her shy and blushing look made her even more seductive.

"What else can we do here besides you?" Zhao Zhaocai simply pulled down the curtains, and then there was a burst of laughter and playfulness in the room.

Zeng Wenjuan came to the county town again. First, she wanted to sell the medicinal herbs that she had collected from the villagers during this period. She could earn 50 cents for each herb. Second, she was in the second grade and wanted to go to the scrap yard to find some test papers to do to check her learning progress.

Because there were a lot of medicinal herbs, and Zhao Hongtiao also wanted to visit the county town, the two families hit it off and went to the county town.

"This county town is really grand. There are many more brick and tile houses than in the village. There are also so many flowers and plants planted on the road. They are really beautiful. No wonder everyone wants to be a city dweller." Zhao Hongtiao usually goes to the town to buy things. This is the first time she has come so far.

Zeng Wenjuan has been to the city more often and has a better understanding of it. She smiled and said, "Both the city and the town have their pros and cons. In the city, food is supplied by tickets, and we country people still can't eat as much as we do. Although rural people don't have wages, they won't let their families starve. They all eat based on their own abilities, so there's nothing shameful about that."

"Wenjuan, you seem like a different person. You even say some words that I don't understand." Zhao Hongtiao said carelessly. This was the first time she noticed that something was wrong with her friend.

Goudan heard it and said in a baby voice, "Auntie Hongtiao, my mom is amazing. She taught me to read and write at home, and I also learned a lot from books."

Zhao Hongtiao was shocked. She looked at Zeng Wenjuan suspiciously and asked, "Is what Goudan said true? Why are you still studying? Is it possible for you not to go to school?"

"I'll just learn it casually. Let's talk about this when we get back! If you want to learn formally, you still have to go to school." Zeng Wenjuan said as she looked at the people coming and going on the street.

Zhao Hongtiao also reacted, and a group of ten people went to the purchasing station. The old lady was still lying in the rocking chair.

Zeng Wenjuan smiled and called out, "Old lady, I'm here again. Do you remember me? I want to find some papers. Are there any here?"

"Remember, you want to look for the papers, right?" The old lady nodded with a smile, pointing to a room: "Go to that room, they are all piled together. If you need anything, just look for it yourself, and stack it for me when you're done."

"Okay, old lady." The group followed the direction the old lady pointed and entered the house. They saw a pile of blank test papers in the corner, with answers at the back, which was exactly what Zeng Wenjuan needed.

Zeng Wenjuan picked out some test papers and found a few copybooks. Zhao Hongtiao and her five sisters also started looking through the papers and found some notebooks and pencils they could use.

"Wenjuan, we have found it. Do you need anything else? Or I can help you." Zhao Hongtiao said while holding a pile of papers in her hand.

Zeng Wenjuan shook her head and waved the hand holding the things: "No, these are enough for me. We will go sell the herbs later, and I will treat you to noodles."

"Why do I need you to treat me? I can make money myself." Zhao Hongtiao said this, and made up her mind to treat Zeng Wenjuan and her son to a meal.

Walking to Baishanxiang, I saw Lin Baixiang alone in the pharmacy doing the bills. Zeng Wenjuan stood aside and waited for Lin Baixiang to finish the bills without interrupting him.
