“Stone Flower is great. Remember the taste of these three. If they dare to come to our house, bite them.”
These two dogs seem to understand human speech more and more. When Su Luo talks to them, they will respond by whimpering.
"Let the two dogs play by themselves," Su Luo said to Du Xiuyuan behind her.
Where were we?
Du Xiuyuan was worried that Su Luo was upset, but since she was still concerned about the herbal oil, it seemed that the farce in the Chen family's eldest branch didn't stir up any waves in her heart.
Du Xiuyuan was relieved.
"Speaking of me finding someone to make porcelain bottles, you go to Ji'an Hall to gather the medicinal herbs, and we'll start making the herbal oil."
Su Luo nodded. Luo Mei and the others' commotion had really wasted her time.
"Dr. Du, let's set off now. The sooner we get the herbal oil, the better."
As the weather gets colder, the season for burning charcoal is fast approaching. Inhaling too much carbon dioxide can easily cause headaches.
Herbal oil is very effective in relieving headaches.
Sitting in her newly bought carriage, Su Luo's carriage-driving skills have greatly improved over time.
She went to Ji'an Hall alone, and the carriage drove to the backyard.
I told the young pharmacist in the front yard who was getting medicine that I would come over and open the back gate for her after I finished getting the medicine, so she could bring the carriage in.
The medicine boy wasn't coming that fast, so Su Luo had to get out of the car and wait for him.
At the corner opposite, a man and a woman were pulling at each other, very close to Su Luo.
The woman hit and yelled at the man, "Old Xu, I'm carrying your child, you have to take responsibility for me."
The man impatiently shook off the woman's hand.
“Sun Xiaoxiao, you are a widow, I can’t possibly take responsibility for you. I have a wife and children at home.”
"You're with so many people, who knows if this child is mine?"
She didn't know the person, but Su Luo recognized the name Sun Xiaoxiao.
Could this woman in front of me be Chen Dazhi's mistress, Sun Xiaoxiao?
Widow Sun from Dongcun, she's had an affair and is pregnant?
This is interesting. Su Luo stopped and looked at the two of them.
"Anyway, the child is yours. You have to divorce that old hag at home and marry me."
Otherwise, once I give birth to this child, I'll fight you to the death.
The man shoved Sun Xiaoxiao away.
"You dare not, don't try to pin some bastard child you had with another man on me."
"If you dare cause trouble at my house, I'll kick this bastard in your belly out of the house."
These damned men, not one of them is good. They only give you a few coins when they're nice to you because you're a widow.
Now that she's pregnant, she's treating herself like dirt.
"Old Xu, do you think I'm afraid? If you dare to lay a hand on me, I'll report you to the authorities. Anyway, I've already lost all face."
But you're different. You have children and a wife. If their reputations are ruined, you won't feel good either, hahaha..."
The man slapped Sun Xiaoxiao across the face, his anger seeming to burn her alive.
"You think I don't know? You're still hanging out with Chen Dazhi from Changping Village. If you dare mess with me, I'll ruin your escape route."
Su Luo scoffed. This old Xu didn't want to get himself into trouble, but he did give Sun Xiaoxiao advice, telling her to go find Chen Dazhi.
"The child is yours. Either you marry me or you give me the money, or neither of us will have a good time."
The door behind Su Luo opened, and the medicine boy came apologetically to help Su Luo take the reins of her horse.
"I'm so sorry, Madam Su. I was busy with that guest in the front yard and kept you waiting."
"It's alright, I just happened to be watching a play here."
The young apprentice looked back and saw that there was no drama to be seen.
Upon entering Ji'an Hall, the young apprentice gave Su Luo a pen and paper. Looking at the medicinal herbs on the medicine cabinet, Su Luo carefully noted down the herbs required for the Hundred Herbs Oil prescription.
If Ji'an Hall has it, there's no need to buy more. If not, we'll have to get some from the Chamber of Commerce.
"Madam Su, call me if you need anything," the young apprentice said shyly to Su Luo.
"Um!"
There were quite a few people in the front yard. Since Du Xiuyuan wasn't there, another doctor was called in to see patients.
Su Luo sat outside the counter writing the prescription, and Sun Xiaoxiao also walked to the counter and spoke to the young pharmacist inside who was dispensing the medicine.
"You, get me a dose of abortifacient."
The medicine boy glanced at Sun Xiaoxiao, then at Su Luo.
"My lady, please give me your prescription."
The young apprentice's words made Sun Xiaoxiao so anxious that she slammed her hand on the counter. It was only with Su Luo, the only woman there, that she was able to come in, but the apprentice was still nagging.
"What kind of medicine do you need? Any medicine that can induce a miscarriage will do. Please get the medicine for me quickly."
The young apprentice stood up straight, unmoved.
"Madam, this is a legitimate pharmacy. We don't prescribe medicine without a prescription."
If you really need it, we have a doctor here. Please have the doctor take your pulse first.
"Let the doctor prescribe a medicine based on your condition before I can dispense it for you."
Sun Xiaoxiao was furious. She knew she was pregnant, and all she did was buy some medicine.
"What kind of lousy pharmacy is this? It's so troublesome to buy medicine. You might as well close down."
Su Luo frowned and turned to look at her.
"If you don't want to have your pulse taken, we really can't prescribe any medicine for you here. You can try asking at other pharmacies."
I was already angry, and this woman here is making sarcastic remarks.
"Who are you? It's none of your business."
The young apprentice's heart skipped a beat. Madam Su was their master's teacher, and no one in Ji'an Hall dared to disrespect her.
“Madam, please watch your words. This is Madam Su, and the entire Ji’an Hall must listen to her.”
Su Luo put down her pen, stood up, and said to Sun Xiaoxiao.
"My name is Su Luo, and I'm from Changping Village. I'm having you take my pulse first for your health, but of course, you can choose not to."
Since Su Luo had already introduced herself, she believed that Sun Xiaoxiao must have heard about her from Chen Dazhi.
For Sun Xiaoxiao, who is thirty-five or thirty-six years old, it is not an easy thing to use medication to abort a pregnancy; even if she doesn't die, she will get a lot of illnesses.
If she weren't stupid, she would definitely think of a way to benefit herself.
"Su Luo, you're Su Luo from Chen Lao Er's family in Changping Village?"
Su Luo feigned surprise: "Does my wife know me?"
Sun Xiaoxiao changed her angry expression and smiled at Su Luo.
"I've heard so much about you. As a fellow widow, I really admire you. You've single-handedly supported your whole family, unlike me."
Oh, right, Su Luo, didn't you ask me to take your pulse? Wait for me, we'll have a good talk later, hehehe..."
"good!"
Su Luo sat there, continuing to write her prescription.
When Sun Xiaoxiao went to the doctor to have her pulse checked, the doctor held his breath and said, "It's a pregnancy pulse. She's been pregnant for three months. At your age, it's best to be careful."
Sun Xiaoxiao asked the doctor who was taking her pulse in a low voice.
"Doctor, I don't want this baby. Can I have an abortion?"
