Chapter 200 Ke Yunyun's Gratitude
"What kind of medicine is this? I've never seen it before!" Mrs. Wan exclaimed with her eyes wide open.
Su Chunsen also had a frown on his face, and after thinking about it, he gritted his teeth, took the pill from Shen Yi and swallowed it in one gulp.
Wan was very anxious, "Are you crazy? You take medicine without knowing what it is!"
Su Chunsen swallowed the medicine before speaking, "The child can't wait, I'll try it. As long as it doesn't kill anyone, we'll give it a try."
So everyone sat down quietly and kept staring at Su Chunsen, ready to send him to the hospital immediately if he had any problems.
After waiting for about an hour, Su Chunsen was fine, but Zhu Kangcheng in the backyard still had a high fever.
After everyone discussed it, they asked Wan to take the medicine and go in to explain things to Ke Yunyun.
Ke Yunyun has been exhausted from taking care of the children these past two days. Her clothes are disheveled and she looks dazed.
Seeing Wan come in, he hurriedly asked, "Aunt, have you asked for a way to reduce the fever?"
Wan took out the medicine in her hand and said with a struggling look on her face, "I have found all the good doctors in the city, but they really can't do anything. Just now, your uncle and your cousin's husband came. They brought some medicine, saying that it can cure headaches and fevers."
Before she finished speaking, Ke Yunyun hurriedly grabbed the medicine and prepared to crush it and feed it to the child.
Mrs. Wan was terrified. "You fool! I haven't finished talking yet! We don't know what this medicine is made of. Your uncle took one and it's fine. It's up to you whether to give it to the child."
Ke Yunyun hesitated for only two seconds before decisively asking Xiaoxi to help feed the medicine.
After Zhu Kangcheng, who was delirious with fever, swallowed the medicine, the three women in the room became nervous.
Because these days he takes half of the medicine and spits it out half, it's driving me crazy.
The three of them waited anxiously for a quarter of an hour, but when they didn't see the child vomit the medicine, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
Another half hour passed, and seeing her son sleeping more and more soundly, Ke Yunyun hurriedly touched his forehead and found that his hairline was a little wet with sweat, and his forehead was not as hot as before. She was overjoyed, "Aunt, Xiaoxi, come and see if his fever has subsided?"
Wan quickly came over and put her hand on Zhu Kangcheng's forehead. After a while, she smiled and said, "It's true. It's not as hot as before. The medicine is effective."
Ke Yunyun quickly asked Xiaoxi to fetch some water, wash and dress up, and go out to meet the guests.
Su Chunlin and others breathed a sigh of relief when they learned that the child's fever had subsided.
Chen Yi quickly handed the medicine bottle he brought to Ke Yunyun, "Xiao Tai said this medicine is for headaches, fever, and sore throats. Take it three times a day after meals. Two pills for adults and one pill for children should be enough."
Ke Yunyun was overjoyed, her eyes red as she bowed to Chen Yi, "Brother-in-law, this time it's all thanks to you, otherwise I don't know what to do."
Su Chunlin consoled him, "Next time if there is any problem, send someone back to tell us as soon as possible. You have a carriage, and it will take at most two days to go back. My uncle was frightened by you when he first arrived. You are really capable!"
Ke Yunyun apologized again with guilt.
Su Chunlin waved his hand and said earnestly: "My uncle is not blaming you, but teaching you some social etiquette. Forget it, let's not talk about these things for now. As long as the child is fine, we are here mainly to discuss the business with you."
Su Chunsen and others looked over at the same time.
"What are you doing again?" Su Chunsen frowned subconsciously.
Su Chunlin cried out, "Brother, what else can I do? This year, the government issued a decree that the government will not collect grain. Starting this year, grain cannot be sold at the price of previous years, maybe even less than half. There is no point in growing grain. Shen Yi and Xiao Tai asked us to grow fruits, saying they are called watermelons and strawberries. Have you heard of them?"
Su Chunsen shook his head and looked at Wan, "You have been with Madam Bai for a long time, have you heard it?"
Wan also shook her head.
Su Chunlin was a little unsure, but he still insisted: "I believe in Chen Yi and Xiao Tai. If they say that the fruit can be sold at a good price, then it can be sold. When the fruit comes, we want to get some to sell in the capital. Do you want to join us?"
"Uncle, what are your plans?" Su Chuan asked.
Shen Yi answered for him, "What we mean is that you rent a big shop to sell goods, and you get 20% of the profits."
This method was told to him by Su Tai.
Su Chuan calculated carefully and said seriously: "This way we will be at a disadvantage, so we should just pay the wages."
Su Chunsen and his wife nodded hurriedly, "Yes, just pay the wages. We don't have to worry about food and drink here now, and Master Zhu pays us, so we are much more comfortable than before.
Nothing is more important than Yunyun and her son right now. We can’t ruin the big thing just to make money.”
It would be troublesome if they showed up in public and were recognized by the Bai family.
Ke Yunyun listened silently and stood up, "Uncle, this matter is not unsolvable. Although it is difficult for you to go out, Xiaoxi and I can! We are definitely strangers in the capital city, and no one can recognize us."
"Yunyun! Don't talk nonsense. If Young Master Zhu finds out, he will definitely be angry." Mrs. Wan reminded seriously.
Ke Yunyun lowered her eyelids and bit her lip, still unwilling to give up, "Aunt, even if I can't do it, Xiaoxi should be fine, right? Let her look after the shop, and hire an accountant, isn't that enough?"
Everyone looked towards the backyard.
"This is a good choice!"
So they started discussing selling fruits.
In the next two days, because Zhu Kangcheng's body had not recovered yet, Su Chunlin was uneasy to leave, and Chen Yi also wanted to stroll around the city and understand the market situation there before leaving, so he stayed for a few more days.
Only after Zhu Kangcheng was almost recovered did they prepare to return.
Zhu Kangcheng had a good time with Su Chunlin in the past two days, and he kept calling his uncle "uncle". Now that he was about to leave, he couldn't bear to let him go and burst into tears.
Even Ke Yunyun couldn't coax her.
In the end, it was Shen Yi who took out bread and cake to tempt the child to calm down.
They didn't bring anything with them this time, and the ox cart was obviously much faster, so they got home in less than three days.
Su Tai was also relieved when she learned about Ke Yunyun's son's illness from Shen Yi.
Then he went to a western medicine store and bought some children's cold and fever medicine and asked Chen Yi to send it to her mother's house.
Sun Ying'er has a way to contact Su Chuan, so she can naturally deliver the medicine to Ke Yunyun smoothly.
In the blink of an eye, it was June, and all the villagers' attention was focused on the fields, because the watermelons and strawberries they had been looking forward to day and night were about to ripen.
The watermelons will be available later, but some strawberries can be picked.
When the first batch of strawberries were picked and sent to Zhaohua County.
All the ladies and girls from wealthy families were alarmed. No woman could resist the temptation of strawberries, not to mention that Su Tai selected the sweetest and reddest varieties for everyone. The color alone was enough to make people salivate, not to mention the taste.
Because the first batch of strawberries were snapped up, merchants also smelled a business opportunity and took the initiative to run to several strawberry-growing villages in Zhaohua County to buy the strawberries as soon as possible, saving the villagers a lot of trouble.
