Chapter 116 The Chen family gets sick again
Old Man Hua stroked his gray beard and said leisurely, "This time I plan to settle down in Guancheng."
If he decided to go to Guancheng, the two Wen brothers were the main factors, and another point was that this girl's craftsmanship was really to his liking.
After dinner, Zhu Mingqing took advantage of no one's attention and went to chat with Old Man Hua nearby.
After a while, Old Man Hua snorted: "You girl, you are really greedy."
Zhu Mingqing chuckled.
Old Man Hua: "Whether you can convince him depends on your ability, don't count on me!"
…
In the room, Chen Nong was drinking the soup that was nourishing and gentle to his body. He looked much better than during the day, and he could even get up by himself.
After a while, Old Man Hua brought Zhu Mingqing over, then left him alone in the room and went outside to wait.
Chen Nong knew that it was Mrs. Zhu who provided the key medicinal ingredient that saved him.
His voice was still a little hoarse. "I heard what my wife said. If you want to use those seeds, feel free to take them."
"Also, thank you, Madam, for saving my life. If there is anything I can do, I will do my best."
He had a kind smile on his face, and there was no sign of having suffered persecution or harbored deep hatred.
Zhu Mingqing didn't express his thoughts directly. "Forgive me for being so rude, but I'd like to ask, Mr. Chen and your family, are you still planning to continue living in Le County?"
Chen Nong was stunned. He hadn't thought about this question since he woke up.
But now thinking about it, Le County really can't live there anymore. If those people knew that he was well, maybe...
He will be locked up again.
He smiled bitterly and said, "Probably not."
Zhu Mingqing's eyes lit up. "Would Mr. Chen be willing to join Doctor Hua in closing the city?"
"Oh? Senior Brother Hua is going to Guancheng?" Chen Nong was surprised.
"Well, Guancheng belongs to Youzhou. Although it is relatively poor, the power is simple, and there are definitely not as many things happening in Le County."
Chen Nong actually understood a truth through this arrest.
He thought he was doing good for the people, so he devoted himself to farming and increasing grain production. While this affected the interests of some people, he was also coveted by them.
He thought he would never be able to escape this time, but he didn't expect that there is always a way out. In order to avoid being caught by those people again, he thought it over and left Le County with his family.
When the time comes, I will find a village, cultivate a few acres of land, and pass on my skills. Then I will die without regrets.
But now——
"You also want me to study farming for you to gain more benefits?" Chen Nong asked warily.
Zhu Mingqing sighed. You see, people who have been hurt will only be more defensive.
She nodded, then shook her head: "I just think it would be a shame if Mr. Chen's abilities weren't put to good use."
As for money, she has plenty of it, and she also has food.
It's so hard to come across someone who is talented and hardworking in farming. You would regret it if you couldn't recruit him.
She thought for a moment and took out a handful of the rice she had brought with her: "The rice soup that Mr. Chen drank tonight is made from this, and all this grain is grown from my grain..."
"I know that virtuous people are dedicated to serving the people and are not interested in fame or gain. If you are willing to go with us to the Fortress, I will not restrict your freedom, regardless of anything else."
She raised two fingers, and her big eyes flashed with sincerity, making people feel dazed.
"Moreover, as long as you do these research, whether it's manpower, funds or land, I will provide support."
Just by looking at the decorative objects in this house, you can tell that Mr. Chen Nongxian must have invested most of his money in farming.
Therefore, all Zhu Mingqing could think of was to try his best to convince the other party from these aspects.
Chen Nong listened to the other party's chattering, and from the initial vigilance to disbelief and finally suspicion, he still could not make a decision.
But his attitude has improved a lot.
At least this lady was not like those people who broke into his house like a bandit and kidnapped him.
"Madam, I..."
Seeing that he was about to refuse, Zhu Mingqing hurriedly said, "Oh, no hurry, Mr. Chen, please think about it carefully. We will leave tomorrow. If you really don't want to leave, it's okay. We will meet again in the future."
At worst, I can wait until she settles down in Guancheng and then visit her.
She still sincerely wanted to recruit people through normal means.
As the night deepened, after Zhu Mingqing left, Chen Nong and Old Man Hua talked in the room. A full hour passed and no one left.
At this moment, Madam Chen hurried over, pushed open the door, and shouted anxiously, "Han'er has suddenly started to have a fever, Senior Brother, please go and take a look."
Doctor Hua immediately stood up and walked out.
Chen Nong's face also changed. Why was this so similar to his previous symptoms?
"Hurry, help me up." He called to the servant not far away.
Inside the room, Doctor Hua's face was solemn. He turned around and glanced at Madam Chen: "During the two days I was away, has this child been to Little Chenzi's room?"
Mrs. Chen nodded: "Old Chen has been in a coma, and the child misses her grandfather, so she goes there every day to keep him company."
He spends more time with Lao Chen than the adults do.
"Brother, what did you find? Don't scare me." Madam Chen's heart trembled. She only had this little granddaughter. If anything happened...
Doctor Hua shook his head. "It's the same condition as Little Chenzi's. Fortunately, there's still some yellow leaf disease left, so it can be cured."
Hearing this, Mrs. Chen immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, I met Sister Zhu today.
"But..." Doctor Hua pondered, "I'm worried now that the child got sick from Old Chen."
Mrs. Chen's face turned pale. She certainly understood the meaning of this sentence.
"Could it be..." an epidemic?
Chen Nong also arrived at the door of the room at this time and stopped when he saw his wife and children inside.
Doctor Hua saw him at a glance and asked someone to come in quickly, but Chen Nong hesitated.
"What are you dawdling for? You're already well, so why shouldn't Hanhan be well too?" Doctor Hua shouted. "Hurry up, I have a few questions for you."
Only then did Chen Nong slowly enter the room.
Old Man Hua: "Where were you imprisoned at that time? What did you go through? Tell me everything clearly."
Now that Old Chen is the first person to get sick, it would be fine, if it weren't for...
That's the most terrible thing.
