Chapter 46
Lin Rong felt so wronged. She didn't do anything wrong. It was obviously the two grandparents who were wrong. Wouldn't it be better for her to be kind? Why did everyone target her?
Thinking of this, she suddenly glared at Song Wei fiercely.
Song Wei: “???”
Are you mentally ill? In Lin Rong's mind, if Song Wei had given the two of them meat, then there would definitely not have been any of the things that happened later, so Song Wei was also wrong.
Song Wei responded by simply rolling her eyes.
"Now even if I want to eat braised pork, there is no more. I don't know when I will be able to eat it next time."
The educated youth who didn't get to eat much braised pork were full of resentment.
He didn't have a good face towards Lin Rong, even though she promised to buy meat for her next time.
Lin Rong felt so aggrieved that her eyes turned red and she kept crying, but at this time none of her companions comforted her.
The show was over. Song Wei and Heidan ate up all the food and left the state-owned restaurant with the remaining steamed buns.
This time Song Wei took Heidan to the hospital.
She was really worried about the injuries on Heidan's body, and she didn't know how his health was now after being tortured so badly in the Lin family.
Heidan was very nervous and kept grabbing Song Wei's clothes.
"Check your body to make sure you don't develop any disease that will prevent you from growing taller or bigger in the future."
This threat was quite useful to Heidan. He dreamed of growing taller and bigger so that others could not bully him and he could protect Sister Song.
So even though he was nervous, he still followed Song Wei obediently.
Song Wei went to find an acquaintance to look for a doctor, who was the attending doctor who had treated the original owner with his head knocked on his chest.
"Come for a follow-up visit?"
The doctor looked at her and asked.
Song Wei quickly shook her head: "I'm not a doctor. My brain is fine and my body is healthy. There's nothing wrong with me. Please take a look at my brother."
The doctor frowned as he looked at Heidan's skinny little body.
"Your brother?"
This doesn't look like it at all.
Song Wei chuckled: "I admit it."
The doctor didn't say anything. He just asked Heidan to stretch out his hand and then took his pulse. After a while, he frowned.
He squatted down and lifted up Heidan's clothes, and saw the scars on Heidan's body and his face was black.
After a series of examinations, the doctor sighed.
"He has been abused for a long time, and he is severely malnourished and physically exhausted. If he continues like this at such a young age, his life span will be greatly shortened. Fortunately, he is still young and can recover through recuperation."
Although he already had a guess in his mind, Song Wei couldn't help but greet all the ancestors of the Lin family after hearing it.
What kind of ancestors gave birth to such a bunch of wicked things? Only a good bamboo shoot came out of the bad bamboo in Lin Laosan's family.
"How to cure it?"
Song Wei took a deep breath and asked.
The doctor looked at her and said, "I'll prescribe some medicine for you, but it's better to give him more good food, meat or medicinal herbs to nourish his body."
Medicinal herbs and meat that replenish the body are in short supply and expensive in this era.
However, it is not difficult for Song Wei. The Ping'an Brigade is backed by the mountains. It should not be difficult to find more medicinal herbs for nourishing the body among the treasures in the mountains, but they have to go deep into the mountains.
For meat, just hunt some game.
With an idea in mind, Song Wei said to the doctor: "Then please prescribe some medicine."
The medicine prescribed by the hospital alone cost Song Wei three dollars.
Song Wei herself didn't feel distressed, but Heidan was so distressed that he was gasping for breath and his eyes were red.
"We don't want it, Sister Song. It's too expensive."
If I had known it would cost so much money, I would never have come in.
Song Wei patted his head: "Don't make trouble, your health is more important."
The doctor looked at her with a higher opinion.
Although we don't know what the relationship between these two people is, Song Wei is an educated youth who went to the countryside, and Heidan is obviously a country kid and an abused one at that.
It was already remarkable that this educated youth was willing to spend money to help him with his medical treatment.
"Doctor, I want to ask you something."
Song Wei asked with a smile on her face: "If I pick some Chinese herbs in the mountains, can I bring them to your hospital to sell?"
The doctor now had a good impression of Song Wei and nodded when he heard this.
"Okay, I'll give you a list of herbs that the hospital currently needs, but do you know any Chinese herbs?"
In fact, their hospital is quite short of medicine, and of course the most scarce is Western medicine.
Western medicine is scarce so they mostly use traditional Chinese medicine. In the past some villagers would go up the mountain to collect herbs to sell, but for some reason almost no one dares to take the risk now.
Song Wei looked at him eagerly: "I know some."
The doctor listed the scarce Chinese medicines in the hospital and handed them to her: "I will contact the purchasing department. You can also take this list. If you have Chinese herbal medicines to sell, just give them the list directly."
Song Wei took a look and found that this doctor was quite attentive. He not only listed the necessary Chinese herbal medicines but also thoughtfully marked the approximate prices.
"Okay, thank you. I'll give you some candies to eat and I'll take my brother away."
Song Wei stuffed the candy into the doctor's hand and left with Heidan in her arms without waiting for him to refuse.
doctor:…………
After coming out of the hospital, Song Wei and Heidan went directly to the entrance of the county town and put all their things on the ox cart.
Song Wei gave a white flour bun to the old man driving the ox cart.
The old man held the steamed bun with a look of surprise.
"Uncle, I still haven't brought some things. Please keep an eye on these and the black eggs for me. This steamed bun is not a good thing for you to hold. Thank you for your hard work."
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
The old man held the steamed bun and smiled widely, nodding repeatedly with a somewhat embarrassed look.
"Don't worry, I've taken good care of Heidan and your things, so I'll shamelessly accept this steamed bun."
He felt quite embarrassed. Just for helping to look after something, Song Zhiqing gave him such a big, soft white flour bun. It was not cheap at all.
But he really didn't want to give back what he had obtained.
"Then thank you for your help, sir."
Song Wei told Heidan to wait for her here because she wanted to go to the black market and it would be inconvenient to take Heidan with her.
The black markets are usually in relatively hidden places. Song Wei observed carefully, followed two people who were wrapped tightly and walked around looking left and right, and finally came to an alley.
There were a few old men sitting under a tree at the intersection of the alley to enjoy the cool air, but from the way they looked around vigilantly from time to time, one could tell that these two old men were probably the gatekeepers of the black market.
Song Wei found a place and disguised himself, smeared some black ash on his face and walked over.
“Buy or sell?”
An old man stopped her and asked in a low voice.
Song Wei: “Buy.”
"Pay ten cents and go in."
Song Wei didn't argue, just paid the money and walked in.
There were a lot of people in the black market, but everyone was very quiet. Even those who were doing business spoke in low voices.
Song Wei saw people selling grain, cloth and socks, eggs and some mountain products.
Among them, meat is the most popular, and several people selling chickens, ducks, rabbits, etc. were surrounded by people.
"How do you sell this rice?"
"Eighty cents."
"It's too expensive. Can you buy it for less? I'll buy it if you buy it for less."
"It's necessary. I didn't ask for a ticket."
Rice. Song Wei moved his ears and stretched his neck to look over.
That bag of rice looked like it weighed about 70 or 80 kilograms.
Seeing the man who asked the price left, Song Wei went over to him.
"How do you sell this rice, ma'am?"
"One cent and eighteen cents. I wouldn't have taken it out if my family didn't need the money urgently."
The old lady showed her the rice and said, "Look, it's very dry and has little moisture. It's from last year and is in good condition."
Song Wei fiddled with the rice below and picked one up to take a look. It was indeed good.
Under the expectant eyes of the old lady, Song Wei hesitated for two seconds and said, "How about this, I'll buy it all for you for 15 cents."
The old lady was a little hesitant. The price was within her acceptable range and she still wanted to buy them all, but she wanted to get more money.
"One cent and seventeen cents. This is the lowest price I can accept."
The purchase price of rice at the grain station fluctuates around 1.23 cents, so it is naturally higher to sell it on the black market. After all , the price is higher and you need grain coupons to buy grain. In the end, the two of them argued and negotiated the price down to 1.6 cents. Song Wei bought all of it.
There are a total of 78 kilograms of rice. One kilogram of rice can produce 70 to 80 taels of rice, which is a lot.
Seeing how straightforward she was, the lady asked her secretly, "I still have some cornmeal, do you want some?"
Song Wei's eyes lit up: "Yes!"
She was planning to buy food from the brigade, but the brigade's food purchase capacity was limited, and buying too much at once would attract a lot of attention.
Don't show off your wealth. There are many scoundrels and dishonest people in the village. If they know that you have money, you will be robbed.
The cornmeal was not there. The old lady gave an address and left. Song Wei would go and get it later.
I went back to my hometown today for my grandfather's birthday and have no time to write, so I can only update one chapter.
