Chapter 105 There is no free lunch
Chen Qingqing snorted in her heart, "As long as you have done nothing wrong, you don't have to be afraid of ghosts knocking on your door. I don't believe that I can't scare you, a rich but unkind and evil man who has done so many evil things."
She said calmly, "Master Fan, as the saying goes, it's better to believe it than not to believe it. Since you have decided to give out porridge, you can't change your mind, otherwise it will seem that you are not sincere and your intentions are not firm."
"What are you talking about, Miss Chen? I hate these weird things about ghosts and gods. As long as it can keep my Fan family safe, it's just giving out porridge for ten days. Even if it's for a whole year, I won't blink an eye." Fan Tong said it generously, but in fact he felt heartbroken.
Chen Qingqing raised an eyebrow and began to make up a story. "Actually, this is the best way to accumulate virtue. As the saying goes, helping others is helping yourself, and giving to others is accumulating blessings. You need to make up for what you lack. Giving out porridge is more expensive, but it can quickly help you accumulate virtue."
"Right, right, Miss Chen is absolutely right. I'll have someone arrange for the porridge distribution right away." Fan Tong called out to Shi Taishou, who was standing nearby. "Why are you still standing there like an idiot? Hurry and get ready. We'll start distributing porridge tomorrow morning."
"Yes, sir. I'll prepare it right away." Shi Taishou turned around and walked out with a look of disappointment on his face.
Chen Qingqing flattered him, "Master Fan is truly wise and righteous. The victims will be grateful to you. Master Fan fully deserves this blessing. From now on, I hope Master Fan will do more good deeds and accumulate blessings. Your ancestors will surely bless your family with peace."
Fan Tong was flattered and smiled, "Of course, I will listen to Miss Chen and do more good deeds."
"Young Master Fan is fine now. I will leave first so that I can go back and make some medicine for you, Master Fan."
"Very well, thank you Miss Chen," Fan Tong said as he took out three taels of silver from his pocket. "This is for the consultation fee. Please accept it, Miss Chen."
Chen Qingqing was full of contempt in her heart. It was really a dog that could not change its bad nature. He said that he had no shortage of money and did not care how much money he spent, but in the end he used this little bit of change to get rid of her.
However, the purpose of giving out porridge had been achieved, so he didn't bother with him and just took the silver and put it in his pocket.
Seeing her about to leave, Fan Hun asked in a trembling voice, "Miss Chen, please stay. When will my hair grow back?"
"Don't worry, if you're sincere, your eyebrows and hair will grow back completely within a month if nothing unexpected happens."
"If it's slow, how long will it take?"
"It takes so long, it only means your hearts are not sincere. Maybe it will never grow out in your lifetime."
"Oh, this is too shabby. How can I go out and see people?" Fan Hun pouted and looked at Fan Tong, "Dad, you have to be sincere, otherwise I will be too embarrassed to see anyone."
"Okay, Dad won't joke about your life. I know what to do." After saying this, Fan Tong ordered someone to arrange a carriage.
Leaving Fan Mansion.
There were many beggars on both sides of the road, young and old, leaning against the road in groups of three or four.
Although Anyang County had a bad year this year, it did have two rains, so the harvest was not completely lost.
But the neighboring Huaiyuan County was not so lucky. It was already August, and there had been no rain since the spring planting. The crops in the fields had failed to yield a single grain, causing a large number of disaster victims to beg along the way and come to Qingshui Town.
Chen Qingqing's eyes were filled with sympathy. Her money was meager, and being able to help the Fan family provide porridge was indirectly doing a good deed. She hoped that these disaster victims would soon overcome their difficulties and return home...
The carriage arrived home soon.
Lin was sewing clothes and Chen Han was sitting next to her writing.
"Qing girl is back. How is Master Fan's illness?"
Lin had become accustomed to the Fan family asking her for help every few days, and she thought her daughter's medical skills were very advanced.
"I gave him a few injections, and he's almost recovered. He'll be fine after some rest."
Chen Qingqing said this and went into the inner room.
The man on the bed had his eyes tightly closed, showing no sign of waking up.
Chen Qingqing was worried and gave him a full body checkup.
All indicators are normal, except that the blood clot in the brain has not been completely absorbed, which should be the main reason for his coma.
She took out the silver needles and acupunctured his Baihui acupoint, Qianding acupoint, Shangxing acupoint, Shenting acupoint and other important acupoints.
I hope he wakes up soon so he can leave soon.
After all, the house was just two rooms converted from cow sheds. Although there was a curtain between us, it was still very awkward to live in the same room with a strange man.
Wouldn't it be embarrassing if he woke up unexpectedly one day?
Thinking of the medicine she had boiled in the morning, Chen Qingqing went to the yard again and lit the medicine stove. She planned to boil these blood-activating and blood-stasis-removing medicines and feed them to the man in the house, which would also help him wake up sooner.
She had long ago exchanged the banknotes given by the Fan family for one hundred taels of silver and stored it in her space. She had thirty-six taels of silver left from selling ginseng last time. Adding this one hundred taels and what Fan Tong gave her today, the total was one hundred and thirty-nine taels of silver, and a few hundred copper coins.
We finally survived the hard days of not having enough food to eat. Next, we have to prepare to build a house, otherwise when winter comes, this cowshed with drafts everywhere will be uninhabitable.
After entering the space, Chen Qingqing looked at the precious medicinal materials that appeared in the medical space and felt very happy.
In the future, I will put the treasures I have looted into here, and then take some artificially cultivated ginseng to sell. I can make a fortune by reselling it.
"Ding~~~ Host, don't be happy. Speculation is not advisable. There is no such thing as a free lunch, and there is no such thing as getting something for nothing. The first three times were free trials, and now they have been used up. If the host wants to use anything here, he will be charged."
"Damn, are you kidding me? You said my jaw dropped. You really did."
Chen Qingqing decided to try out the system's charging method first. Looking at the Chinese patent medicines in the medicine library, she decided to give Fan Tong some ginseng Yipi pills.
Thinking about it, I picked up three boxes from the shelf.
"Ding, three boxes of Ginseng Yipi Pills for four hundred and fifty coins, host, would you like to buy them?"
The wandering panel showed yes and no.
Chen Qingqing nodded yes, and three boxes of medicine appeared in her hands.
"Ding~~~ The host has spent 450 coins of the silver he deposited. There are still 139 taels and 528 coins left. Do you want to continue depositing?"
Chen Qingqing selected the 'yes' button, "You remember this broken ring quite clearly."
"Of course. As the saying goes, family is family, money is money, and brothers should keep accounts clearly. Since Xiaojie lives and exists with the host, he will naturally keep a clear record of every expense. This is my responsibility."
"Okay, you're so cruel!"
