Liu Yulian went to open the door and found that it was the village chief. She quickly invited him in and said, "Come in first. It's cold outside."

"I heard that you have medicine to treat typhoid fever here?" Village chief Zhang was a little embarrassed, but his grandson was sick and had been coughing for a long time since last night.

The ancients placed greater emphasis on male children, so Village Chief Zhang was worried that something might happen to his grandson. Widow Zhang happened to see this and suggested that the Liu family's eldest branch sell cough syrup and other things that were cheap and effective.

Village Chief Zhang's family could certainly afford a doctor, so they went to see him yesterday evening. Unfortunately, the child took the medicine, but it had no effect. After listening to Widow Zhang's advice, Village Chief Zhang went to see the eldest wife of the Liu family.

"Yes, there's still some." Liu Yulian didn't sell all the medicine. Since there were people at home, she had to keep some. "I'll go get it."

In the countryside, sometimes it’s just a little bit of medicine, and no money is charged.

It was impossible for Liu Yulian to ask for just a few cents. Village Chief Zhang was so anxious that he asked someone to take the medicine back early.

Village chief Zhang was not the kind of person who liked to take advantage of others. Before Liu Yulian could say how much money she wanted, he took out ten cents and gave it to her.

"It's too much. You don't need so much." Liu Yulian thought that the medicine was really not that expensive. "Five cents is enough. You can take the medicine back quickly. But you still need to see a doctor. If you don't see a doctor, you won't know whether it is hot or cold."

Liu Yulian didn't run a hospital, so even if she knew some medical skills, people wouldn't dare ask a young girl like her to see a doctor. So Liu Yulian didn't say she was treating people, she just gave them medicine and reminded them to go see a doctor.

"These medicines are not to be used together. Look at which one it is. It's written on it." Liu Yulian had already written the instructions for use.

Since some of Village Chief Zhang's family members could read, Liu Yulian wasn't worried that they wouldn't understand the instructions. When Liu Yulian sold the pills to other people, she also explained the specific circumstances under which they should be used.

In later times, simple cold and fever medicines were purchased by ordinary people at pharmacies, without a prescription from a doctor. The pharmacist would ask about the patient's condition and recommend a recommended medicine. These were basic medicines.

"Okay." Village chief Zhang took the medicine and left in a hurry. He had to go back to feed the medicine to his grandson.

After Village Chief Zhang left, Mother Liu poked her head out and asked, "You left so soon?"

"I came to buy medicine," Liu Yulian explained. "The village chief's grandson is sick."

"Isn't this just desperate medical help?" Liu's mother said, "We don't have a doctor at home. Those medicines are effective, but we still need to find a doctor."

Liu's mother was worried that these people would use medicine recklessly and that if something went wrong, they would bring trouble upon their family. Their family didn't own a pharmacy, and the medicine they sold was very basic. Liu's mother believed that those who were sick should still go to a clinic.

"The village chief's family is not without money." Liu's mother added.

"Maybe they've seen a doctor." Liu Yulian didn't know the details. "I've been frank with you. They should know."

"Some people seem quite reasonable, but it's still uncertain what they are like," said Liu's mother. "You'd better be careful."

Liu's mother reminded Liu Yulian that one can only know a person's face but not his heart, so her daughter should not be fooled by others. You think you are doing good things, but others think you are doing bad things and even want to blackmail you.

"I know." Liu Yulian nodded. Medical disputes are indeed difficult to deal with.

That day, Village Chief Zhang's grandson felt much better and didn't cough as much.

"Did you really get this medicine from the Liu family?" the village head's wife asked. "It's still somewhat useful."

The village chief's wife was relieved to see that her grandson was much better.

"I got it from there. They usually sell some medicine, pills, and the like." Village Chief Zhang said, "They do have some stuff at home. It's a pity that I didn't buy the cotton."

Widow Zhang did take a group of people to buy cotton, but the village head's wife did not go. The village head's wife wondered where to find so many warm things. If they really existed, then there would not be so many people freezing to death in winter.

As it turned out, the cotton was really useful.

The village head's wife regretted buying cotton. If they had bought cotton, their grandson wouldn't have caught a cold so easily. Ultimately, it was mainly because the exiled people liked to tinker with things, but not every item they made was useful; some were simply scams.

After being cheated a few times, no one will be fooled again.

"Just buy some cotton seeds." The village chief didn't think much about cotton, but thought about the culture medium.

Village chief Zhang went to the fields to check and found that the wheat grown in the Liu family's main house was like two different species from the wheat of other families. The wheat that had been cultured with the culture medium had grown to be almost taller than a person, and there were actually quite a few ears of wheat on it. They were just waiting to see if it was real wheat when the harvest came.

According to the Liu family's eldest son, the wheat would be ready for harvest around February after the spring. It grew faster than other wheat, sometimes by a month or two.

"Keep the remaining medicine, you can use it later." said Village Chief Zhang.

"How much did it cost?" the village chief's wife couldn't help but ask.

"Five cents, the price for a pound of meat." said Village Chief Zhang.

"A pound of meat isn't a bad price, but yesterday I spent more than five cents to see a doctor and get medicine," the village head's wife muttered. "If I had known this medicine was so effective, I would have just gone and bought some."

"People still say we need to see a doctor," said Village Chief Zhang. "It's not that this pill will cure every disease."

"That's true, but this medicine is cheap. So many people in the village who have typhoid fever or colds don't dare to see a doctor, so they just boil it themselves." The village head's wife rolled her eyes. "This medicine is cheap, so more people can afford it."

The village head's wife pondered this and concluded that the Liu family's eldest house would eventually become even better. If someone else had this recipe, they would most likely sell it for a much higher price. It wouldn't be so cheap.

Fortunately, ordinary people rarely go to see a doctor when they catch typhoid fever, so these pills and loquat pastes do not affect the business of those clinics.

A clinic in town received a prescription from Liu Yulian and began making the medicine. Liu Yulian didn't charge for the prescription, hoping the clinic would make a small profit but sell more. The doctors at the clinic weren't exactly ruthless. Since the so-called cold medicine and cough syrups were inexpensive, they sold them at a lower price.

The medicine made by the people in the clinic is not as good as Liu Yulian's, but it is effective enough.

The hospital also knows how to market, and since the doctors see patients frequently, more people can know about these drugs.

But this was not what Liu Yulian was concerned about. She was just thinking about whether she should go to the fields to take a look when she heard a noise in the yard. Her little niece had knocked over a bucket while playing.

The wooden buckets in ancient times were heavier, not like the plastic buckets of later times.

When Liu Yulian left the yard, Mrs. Xie had already picked up little Liu Jia.

"Miss." Mrs. Xie said hurriedly when she saw Liu Yulian, "She just fell down. She needs to change her clothes. They are all wet."

"Just change your clothes." Fortunately, someone was watching over my little niece. It would have been bad if she had put her head directly into the bucket.

In order to prevent children in the family from falling into the well, a manhole cover was specially installed.

Children are amazing creatures, and no one knows how many amazing things they can do. A place that adults think is safe may be dangerous to a child.

A small bucket may cost a child's life.

"My daughter is noisy and I have to keep an eye on her from time to time." Liu Yulian sighed. Even leaving for a quarter of an hour is not a good idea. A lot of things can happen in a quarter of an hour.

"That's not bad." Mrs. Xie didn't feel it was hard. She didn't want to sit at the table to eat, but she ate well. "It's not like before now. I'll take care of it as much as I can."

Mrs. Xie thought that there was a lot of work to do at home, such as washing clothes, and Mrs. Liu also asked someone to come and wash them, so Mrs. Xie didn't have to do it.

With so many people in the family, it was hard to ask Mrs. Xie to cook, wash clothes, clean, and take care of the children. Mrs. Liu also had to take care of the children. There were only these people in the family, and even the former marquis' wife and marquis had to do some work.

Liu Yulian looked at her little niece, who looked very happy and had no idea of ​​the danger.

As their family was originally wealthy and they were used to being served by servants, they were not so thoughtful when doing trivial things.

Fortunately, the little niece only bumped into the bucket and did not fall in. However, this incident also reminded Liu Yulian that she had to buy a few more servants.

After Liu Yulian changed her niece's clothes, she told her mother.

"Don't ordinary families live like this?" Liu's mother sighed, "It's just that people like us can't endure the hardship and can't do these things."

Mother Liu thought that the family had so little money, and if they bought another person, they would all live in the town, which would cost even more. She had to spend money everywhere, so where could she find so much money?

"After the New Year, I can make a little money selling strawberries," Liu Yulian said. "I can also sell some embroidery. Once the fruit trees are grown and the crops are harvested, it won't be a problem."

"That's easy to say." Mother Liu held Liu Yulian's hand, "You're like this, and I almost doubt whether you are my daughter."

Liu's mother had indeed doubted her daughter. Her daughter had changed so much in a short time. Even though her little habits remained the same, she was still worried. Between a life of luxury and her daughter, she naturally chose her daughter.

It's okay to be a little bit hard, it just gives my sons and grandsons more training. After a few years of hardship, everything will get better slowly.

"Mom." Liu Yulian once wondered if these people would have any doubts. Would anyone know that the child was not their biological child? For the sake of money and a rich life, would they choose to pretend to know nothing?

"Mom knows." Mother Liu patted her daughter's hand. No matter what opportunities her daughter had, she must have read so much from the book before.

As long as her daughter is still a daughter, she, as a mother, must protect her daughter more.

A few days before the New Year, an incident occurred in the town. A family blocked the clinic with their dead daughter.
