Chapter 185 More Money-Making Methods

Lu Qingqing stayed in Dabozi Village for more than ten days.

During this time, Xu Rui also brought over the injured who had died in the other two disaster-stricken villages.

Lu Qingqing, along with Dr. Pang and Sixi, set up several tents specifically for the seriously injured patients.

The three of them worked together to perform five more surgeries.

Four survived and one died.

Dr. Pang was so engrossed in taking notes and learning that Si Xi was inspired and did the same.

Half a month passed in the blink of an eye.

All the injured in Dabozi Village have been treated, and the reconstruction of houses is proceeding in an orderly manner.

When the doctors left, the whole village ran out to see them off.

One was on crutches, the other had a sling in his arm; they had nothing to give but their heartfelt gratitude.

The only option was to kneel and kowtow.

With tears welling up in his eyes, Dr. Pang shouted first, "Fellow villagers of Dabozi Village, if you ever fall ill or suffer from any misfortune in the future, go to Shanshitang in the city to find me, Old Pang. The consultation fee will be waived, and the medicine fee will only be charged at 50%!"

Once he started, the other doctors followed suit and expressed their opinions.

Lu Qingqing was the same.

The world is full of cold and indifferent people, all because of the fleeting nature of life.

If you stop and linger, you'll find that it's easy for people to get close to each other.

Sharing the burden and overcoming difficulties together is also a spiritual cleansing for the doctors.

The kindness of others will help those who have experienced pain to get through the storm sooner.

There is true kindness in the world!

Dr. Pang waved goodbye to Lu Qingqing.

"Goodbye, Master!"

Lu Qingqing didn't want to correct her anymore: "See you later."

Si Xi: "Junior brother, don't forget you said you would give your senior brother a copy of the Collection of Rare Herbs."

"Haha, I won't forget, don't worry, Junior Brother!"

...

When Lu Qingqing got home, she hugged Feng Xiaowan and Qiaoxiu.

"No matter how difficult it is, as long as you are alive, you have nothing to fear."

"That's right. Although the crops were all flooded, at least everyone in our village is still here," Feng Xiaowan said with emotion.

Apart from Dog Egg's father and a few others who were bitten to death by the python.

"As everyone has been saying these past few days, that mountain peak is closest to Liuyun Village, yet not a single person from our village was killed. This is all thanks to your reminder, and the whole village is very grateful!"

They also went to Hama Village and Shangguan Village to warn them, but many people didn't believe them. As a result, many were killed by falling rocks and many were dragged away by wild animals, resulting in heavy casualties.

It's truly fortunate that Liuyun Village escaped a major calamity.

"Your father and brother are at the workshop. Would you like to go and take a look?"

Lu Qingqing nodded.

Qiaoxiu didn't want to leave Lu Qingqing, so she followed behind her.

Her little face was tense the whole way, and she looked very serious.

He's holding something in his heart!

Lu Qingqing didn't ask her directly, waiting for her to tell her herself.

As they neared their destination, she whispered:

"Sister Qingqing, I also want to learn medicine from you."

"Studying medicine is very hard work."

"I'm not afraid of hard work."

"Okay, then you can learn from me from now on," Lu Qingqing said with a smile.

Qiaoxiu is reserved and quiet, but she is very serious when studying and has good comprehension. If she wants to learn, then of course we support her.

Qiaoxiu flashed two rows of small teeth: "So, will you take me with you next time you go out?"

So that's why he wanted to follow her!

Lu Qingqing poked her head: "Take it with you!"

"whee……"

Because the crops were all flooded after the torrential rain, the whole village had to do some rescue work, which delayed the construction of the workshop. It's only just started again today.

All three members of the Lu family, father and sons, were present.

Because of the disaster, there are few people in the town, and Lu Feng has temporarily closed his shop and is busy here.

"father."

Lu Qingqing went up and hugged Lu's father.

Lu Feng and Lu Yun both put down what they were doing.

Upon seeing this, Liu Erzhu couldn't help but laugh: "Qingqing is a skilled doctor now, how come she's still acting like a child?"

"Brother Erzhu, I'm so glad we're all alive and our families are still around. You've never seen what it's like to lose your family and not be able to hug them even if you want to."

Liu Erzhu could no longer laugh.

He had also witnessed the remorseful cries of the dead in the neighboring village.

I never hugged her when she was alive, but I held her and cried nonstop when she died.

"I need to go back and hug my parents too," Shanzi muttered.

“Yes, I need to hug my wife too,” another person said.

"And my dog."

Everyone looked at him.

The young man's eyes reddened: "What's wrong? My Erhu helped me drive away the wolf that was lurking in my house, and now I can't even hug him? From now on, Erhu is my family, my brother!"

No one else said anything, but look how excited he is.

Do you know that Erhu is your brother?

Lu Feng and Lu Yun couldn't wait for Lu Qingqing to let go of her father, so they hugged him too.

"Qiaoxiu, come here and hug me," Lu Yun called out.

So Qiaoxiu also reached out her arms to embrace everyone.

She pursed her lips, her eyes slightly curved, and through Old Man Lu's shoulder, she inadvertently caught sight of a person carrying a basket not far away.

Her eldest brother, Lu Changfa.

Lu Changfa seemed very surprised, looking at Qiaoxiu as if he didn't recognize her.

Qiaoxiu's eyes were also indifferent, as if she were looking at a stranger. She only glanced at her before looking away.

"What are you still looking at? Qiaoxiu was bought back by Lu Qingqing a long time ago! She has nothing to do with your family now," Sun said coldly.

Lu Changfa knew this, but he was surprised that Qiaoxiu had completely changed and was no longer afraid of people. He almost didn't recognize her just now.

"Hurry up and leave. Your house is a cursed place. You'll only be better off leaving. If you keep being lazy, I'll leave too!"

Lu Changfa straightened his basket and didn't dare to say a word.

Of course, the family couldn't do without Sun Shi; he couldn't repeat the mistakes his father had made.

...

When Liu Lizheng saw Lu Qingqing, he also walked over, his face full of worry.

"The crops were all flooded. Everything that could be harvested was harvested, but we only managed to collect about 20% of the grain, which wasn't even enough to pay the taxes."

Fortunately, those medicinal herbs are resilient and most of them survive.

But how much grain can this little bit of medicine be exchanged for?

"Young lady, this workshop can't possibly employ many villagers, can it?"

"We'll probably take in forty."

"Forty wouldn't be bad," Liu Lizheng calculated for a moment.

He added, "When selecting people, could we give priority to those whose families have no able-bodied members?"

"Okay." Lu Qingqing thought so too.

The village head nodded: "Those forty households should be fine. Xiao Zhang and Erzhu have discussed it and will see who dares to go to the opposite mountain. He will lead people to dig traps, hunt some game, and sell it for some money. This way, they can solve part of their livelihood problem."

After the opposite mountain collapsed, the wild beasts ran back.

But the wild animals over there are really scary, including giant pythons!

Lu Qingqing frowned. If there's another way, there's no need to risk your life.

The death of one person affects an entire family.

"Uncle Village Head, I'll go back and think about it to see if I can recruit more people."

"Alright, alright, think about it, there are medicinal herbs in the mountains and forests, we can dig them up if needed."

Lu Qingqing certainly had more ways to make money.

But she couldn't do it alone.

You'd have to ask her partner.
