"No, please don't call me benefactor. I'm worried that someone will blackmail me for another hundred taels of silver if I use the word benefactor." Su Sijin said sarcastically.
The man apologized on behalf of the fat woman in shame. How could such a humble and cautious son have such a mother?
Good shoots come out of bad bamboos. For the sake of the man, Su Sijin can ignore the fat woman, but...
"Forget about the consultation fee, just give me one or two taels of silver for the medicine from the past few days. If you think my medicine is expensive, you don't have to buy it for today." She didn't even look down on such a small amount of money.
The man handed over the silver, apologizing and expressing gratitude.
"Also, I won't treat her illness anymore, and your medicine costs will be double that of others."
The man nodded humbly, for he was afraid that Su Sijin would abandon their family and stop treating his father. His father was in critical condition, and not only was his mother ungrateful, but she was also recklessly offending others.
"Of course, of course. This is life-saving medicine. It's rare to see a tenfold increase, let alone a doubling of it. I know what's good for me, I know."
Xu Yongsi's wife snorted coldly, "Hmph, your father contracted malaria, which is a fatal disease. Madam Lu rescued him from the King of Hell for you."
"Three days' worth of medicine is only one ounce of silver, and today's prescription is only ninety-six coins. Before I fled the famine, a prescription for typhoid fever would cost more than one ounce of silver."
"If Madam Lu hadn't thought about everyone's difficulties, she would have just accepted a little to help everyone through the difficult times."
"Your mother is so shameless. Not only does she want to evade paying for the medicine, she also slanders Madam Lu. I've never seen anyone as shameless as this."
The man lowered his head in shame, wishing he could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
He was ashamed of having such an ungrateful mother. Today his spine was bent and he could never stand up straight again.
Things here were settled, and Wu nodded and prepared to leave.
Su Sijin quickly stopped the person, "Aunt Wu, wait a minute."
Su Sijin took out a fifty-year-old ginseng from the space and handed it to Wu. "Uncle Xu and the children have been in a bad mood recently. I have some ginseng that is not very useful for Uncle Xu, Aunt Wu and the children to replenish their energy."
"That's right. Look at your eyes, they are sunken and you are so skin and bones that it makes me sad." Zheng Jie put the ginseng in her hand.
Mrs. Wu looked at the thick ginseng in front of her and her nose couldn't help but itch.
Ginseng can be used at any time and anywhere.
Su Sijin simply changed the way she put it and asked her to accept it.
Her brain told her that she couldn't accept it, but her reason told her that it was a good thing, and she couldn't bear to return it for the sake of her children.
Mrs. Wu squeezed the ginseng tightly and said gratefully, "Thank you!"
Su Sijin said calmly, "I heard from my husband that Uncle Xu and my father-in-law are good brothers who have been through thick and thin together. After my husband got into trouble, Uncle Xu rushed to tell everyone and helped a lot."
"My family has been implicated again this time. Uncle Xu is so kind, I will never forget him. Besides, I still have this ginseng."
Su Sijin patted her chest and made the promise, just so that Wu could accept the ginseng with peace of mind.
"But Mrs. Lu, the miracle doctor?" A dusty yamen runner stood ten feet away and asked Su Sijin.
Su Sijin neither responded nor refused, but just glanced at the man.
Mrs. Wu left with the ginseng in her arms, knowing the current situation.
Su Sijin continued to divide the herbs into doses and ignored this person.
Seeing that Su Sijin didn't intend to pay attention to him, the yamen runner's face showed panic, "Divine doctor, I came from Yuan'an County. The plague prescription sent by Brother Liu has begun to show results."
"But those seriously ill patients are dying rapidly. Our county magistrate has been fighting for three days and nights without closing his eyes."
"Brother Liu recommended the miracle doctor to go to Yuan'an County and help the people of Yuan'an County escape the deadly plague."
After the bailiff finished speaking, he knelt down and kowtowed solemnly to make his request.
"Why didn't Liu Meng come?"
Although this person seemed very sincere, Su Sijin still became suspicious.
You have to be on guard against others! Apart from the emperor's ambush, Su Zhe has not made any moves for a long time. This is too abnormal. He clearly told the original owner to do things for him.
When the substitutionary marriage was proposed, the original owner's memory told her that Su Zhe wanted the original owner to find a very important thing and steal it for him.
At Shili Pavilion, Su Zhe asked the old nanny to beat her again.
And Su Qiongshi, she hasn't caused any trouble since the underground cave plotted against her.
She didn't think Su Qiongshi had forgotten her.
Su Qiongshi is the heroine of this book. Although she died at the hands of Lu Changgong in the end, she is now reborn and has the ability to predict the future. She must want to avoid the ending of her previous life.
If he wanted to avoid the ending of his previous life, he would have used endless killing moves against Lu Changgong.
However... up to now, they were all unusually quiet.
Could this be the prelude to a storm?
The yamen runner's eyes suddenly turned red, and he choked up and said, "Brother Liu has contracted the plague. He suddenly became seriously ill the day before yesterday. Now he is hanging on to his last breath. I'm afraid his condition is very bad."
"So serious?"
Whenever she thought of Liu Meng, a man with a righteous face, she knew that good people should be rewarded, and she couldn't bear to see another good person missing in the world.
"I need to discuss this with Tang Jieren." After all, she is not free.
The yamen runner took over the conversation and replied, "I have discussed this with Tang Jieren first, and he agreed and said he would wait for the miracle doctor."
Su Sijin nodded. The magistrate of Yuan'an County had thought it through very carefully.
Su Sijin turned around and prepared the herbs one by one. "Mother, Tingyun, please pack the medicine and tell my husband that I am going to Yuan'an County with this young man."
"No, Yuan'an County is a severely affected area by the epidemic. Sijin, if you go there, I won't be able to explain to Changgong." Zheng Jie stood in front of Su Sijin and disagreed with her going to Yuan'an County.
Su Sijin comforted Zheng Jie casually and left with the bailiff.
"Sister Su, wait for me."
Shen Tingyun caught up with Su Sijin breathlessly. Before Su Sijin could ask any questions, she changed her usual gentle demeanor and said in a rare domineering tone:
"Sister Su, I'll go with you and help you."
Su Sijin disagreed with Shen Tingyun going with her. After all, the epidemic area was very dangerous. Shen Tingyun, a delicate girl, was most vulnerable to germs and was most likely to contract malaria.
So, Su Sijin threatened: "You might get malaria, and more likely you will die."
Hoping to scare Shen Tingyun away.
Shen Tingyun's face turned pale and his body trembled, but he still looked at Su Sijin with a firm look, "Sister Su will definitely not let me die, we will all be fine."
Su Sijin's body was shocked. Did she not expect Shen Tingyun to trust her so much?
Since she trusted her, she couldn't let Shen Tingyun down.
Zheng Jie walked back and forth anxiously, standing on tiptoe to look to see if Lu Changgong had returned.
When she saw Lu Changgong's shadow, she ran to him in a hurry, and her heart finally felt a little relieved.
Zheng Jie went straight to the point and told Lu Cha Changgong about Su Sijin's departure.
"Changgong, you're finally back. Sijin, she went to Yuan'an County."
Zheng Jie roughly explained the purpose of the yamen runner's visit. After hearing this, Lu Changgong dropped the mugwort, stood on tiptoe, and disappeared.
