Chapter 257 Huo Qingxiang meets Huo Sien
The whole family sat down to have a reunion dinner. Yao Xianqing said goodbye to everyone and left with the people from Nantong Commercial Bank.
Yao Meixian led her family out of the city gate and did not return until she could no longer see anyone. It was unclear whether her younger brother would be able to see her again.
It is even harder to say whether forcing the emperor to abdicate will be successful.
I hope that my father and mother in heaven will bless my brother and enable him to succeed.
After seeing her uncle off, Du Wanwan felt as if a worry had been put to rest, and she returned to her usual leisurely and comfortable life.
She got up in the morning to see patients, and when she had nothing to do, she would make various common pills with her sister. She made all the isatis root collected from Lijia Village into isatis root granules, sealed them in jars, and stored them in the space.
When you need it, ask Yaya to deliver a jar to you secretly.
The people of Lijia Village went to the People's Clinic in a large crowd to deliver Isatis Root. They all went home with the money in their hands, smiling happily. Many people saw it.
Some villagers near Liangjun City came to see the doctor and asked Du Wanwan if she could give them a way to survive.
Du Wanwan did not show favoritism and told them: "I don't provide medicinal herbs, I only collect them. Don't plant the isatis root in Lijia Village. If you plant too much, I won't be able to collect it.
I need Panax notoginseng, Scrophularia ningpoensis, Poria cocos, and Angelica sinensis. Plant the same in each village, don't plant more. Planting too much will make things messy and you won't be able to figure out the habits of the herbs.
If you only grow one thing, quality is more important than quantity. If you are interested, you can go and discuss it. I can find a way to get you some medicinal herb seeds or something like that."
When everyone heard about this good thing, they agreed to plant only one crop in each village. Huo Sien from Huojia Village and the captain of the village protection team heard about this and came to the People's Hospital overnight.
Their village must have a place in such a good thing.
Huo Sien explained his purpose, and the captain of the village protection team pleaded: "Dalang! We have been through life and death together, so if there is something good, please think of everyone."
Du Jiang and Yao Meixian sat down with her, smiled but didn't say anything. Their daughter had the right idea and she definitely had her own arrangements.
Sure enough, Du Wanwan smiled and said, "There's no need to grow any medicinal herbs on the mountain in Huojia Village, just grow some spice trees!"
"What is the spice tree?" Huo Sien asked blankly.
"Star anise, cinnamon, bay leaves, prickly ash, prickly ash, codonopsis." Du Wanwan listed a string of spices, "As long as you can find them and plant them, they will be something unique to Liang County City.
At worst, plant some sugar cane and some beets and send them to Wenjun's farm, that'll make you money."
The captain of the village protection team's eyes lit up like a 500-watt light bulb, and he slapped his thigh, "Oh, right! How could I forget that Wenjun's farm needs a lot of sugarcane. We can reclaim some land in the hills behind our village and plant some. We can definitely make some money by cutting them in the fall."
Huo Sien's eyes lit up as well: "That's right, that's right, why didn't I think of it, I'm old, my brain can't work anymore."
The two chatted for a while and then left in a hurry. They didn't dare to stay outside any longer at night. They had to go back and think carefully about how to arrange this matter.
Just as he walked out of the People's Clinic, he saw Huo Qingxiang coming back from outside the city on the shaft of a horse-drawn carriage. When Huo Si'en saw her, he looked away and pretended not to see her.
The captain of the village protection team was the same. Instead, Huo Qingxiang jumped off the carriage in surprise and shouted to Huo Sien: "Grandpa! Grandpa! Why are you in the city?"
Seeing that Huo Sien ignored her, Huo Qingxiang burst into tears: "Grandpa! Are you okay?"
The captain of the village protection team was an outsider after all, so it was difficult for him to say anything, but he despised Huo Qingxiang in his heart.
That day, a young man with a broken leg came to Huojia Village and said he wanted to see Huo Qingxiang. Huo Sien felt puzzled and asked him, "Why do you want to see Huo Qingxiang?"
The man with a broken leg sitting in a wheelchair said, "I can give her a life of wealth and prosperity, and a life without worries about food and clothing."
Huo Qingxiang, who was in the room, rushed out when she heard it, and threw herself on the young man with a broken leg regardless of everything. No one could stop her, and it became a big joke.
Huo Sien was really disappointed with his granddaughter: "She is a person of unknown origin, why are you following her?"
Huo Qingxiang wanted to speak, but was stopped by the Broken Leg Young Master. He asked coldly, "Are you going or not? This is your only chance."
"Go, I will definitely go."
Huo Qingxiang ignored her parents' pleading and insisted on following the man in the wheelchair, and no one could stop her. Huo Sien was really angry and wanted to scare Huo Qingxiang by expelling her from the Huo family.
It was useless. Huo Qingxiang followed him regardless of everything and left Huojia Village.
Huo Sien felt very ashamed. He had been seriously ill and it was Du Wanwan who took care of him. When he saw his granddaughter again today, he just treated her as a stranger.
"Grandpa! Why don't you say anything?" Huo Qingxiang shed tears, "I didn't mean to anger you that day. I had my reasons for leaving."
Huo Sien sneered: "Must you leave? You abandoned your parents and left your hometown for a cripple, just to be someone's concubine? We in the Huo family don't have a younger generation as shameful as you. Don't call me grandpa when you see me in the future. You don't deserve it."
The captain of the village protection team shook his head regretfully. There were three scholars in the Huo Sien family, and the family tradition was very upright. Even though the Huo Village was poor, there were no girls willing to be concubines.
But Huo Qingxiang, whom he had loved since childhood, turned rebellious and became a concubine of a cripple. No one knew what was going on in her mind.
People say that it is better to be a poor man's wife than a rich man's concubine. Why doesn't she understand?
"grandfather!"
Huo Qingxiang was still crying, but she had chosen the path she was taking, so no matter how difficult it was, she couldn't say anything and could only swallow her anger.
After spending so much time together, she had already realized that Jin Wenhao had no intention of accepting her, let alone marrying her. He only treated her as a personal maid, nothing more.
No matter whether he was in a good mood or not, he rarely spoke to her and didn't let her talk much.
As soon as she opened her mouth and said a few more words, his eyes would swish at her.
One time she got him drunk on purpose and tried to climb into his bed, but he kicked her off the bed, and she rolled out of the room and lay in bed for several days without being able to get up.
He was still not satisfied, and warned fiercely: "If you dare to provoke me again, don't blame me for being merciless."
The look and tone that seemed to want to kill her made Huo Qingxiang tremble with fear, and she never dared to think about climbing into bed again.
Every day she just served Jin Wenhao obediently, accompanied him to stay in a villa outside the city, and accompanied him to search for the lost box of Baofeng Money House.
Jin Wenhao only treated her as a servant and did not even mention taking her in. Huo Qingxiang felt a little regretful.
When she saw Huo Si'en on the street, she was very excited and wanted to go home with her grandfather.
But her grandfather's attitude towards her had become extremely cold, and she was afraid that she might be dreaming about going home.
"Come back!" Jin Wenhao in the carriage hated Huo Qingxiang's crying appearance, "If you don't come back, you will never come back."
Huo Sien stared at the carriage across the street for a few seconds, shook his head, said nothing, and turned away.
Huo Qingxiang wiped her tears, turned around reluctantly, and sat on the shaft of the cart with a dull expression.
