Chapter 71 The New Magical Dew is Made
Aunt Zhou heard it all from her own doorway and immediately asked Du Wanchun behind her, "Wanchun, did you hear anything just now?"
Du Wanchun listened intently. "Mother, it sounds like it's coming from Meng's side."
As he spoke, he pointed in the direction of the Meng family's residence.
Aunt Zhou looked up and saw that everyone in the village was running in that direction. "Has something terrible happened to the Meng family?"
As she was muttering to herself, Aunt Wang came over and said, "Sister Zhou, something terrible has happened to the Meng family!"
Aunt Wang glanced in the direction of the Meng family behind her and replied, "I just happened to be passing by and saw it. Old Master Meng wanted to take a concubine, the widow Jiang from the neighboring village. His wife disagreed, and after a fight, Aunt Meng directly crippled Old Master Meng."
As he spoke, he made a scissor gesture with his right hand and winked at Aunt Zhou.
Aunt Zhou exclaimed in surprise, covering her mouth and staring wide-eyed, "Really?"
Aunt Wang nodded and whispered, "It's true. I saw blood all over the ground when I passed by just now. Grandpa Meng has been taken to Doctor Xu. The officials might be here soon."
Aunt Zhou exclaimed, "I never expected Aunt Meng to be so amazing."
Aunt Wang sneered in the direction of the Meng family and said, "That old man from the Meng family deserves it. He used to have his eye on you. He doesn't even know how old he is. I think Aunt Meng did the right thing. He should be crippled. Let's see if he'll still behave himself."
Aunt Zhou smiled and said, "That's good. It will save them from coming to cause trouble for us again. I think they have no intention of going against us now."
Aunt Wang looked away and said with a smile, "You're right."
Du Wanchun listened to their banter and laughed along with them.
Aunt Wang glanced at the smoke rising from the chimney behind the old house and asked Aunt Zhou, "Sister Zhou, are you still making fragrant dew at home?"
Aunt Zhou nodded with a smile, "Yes, Feng'er's shop needs several bottles a month, so I have to finish making next month's supply this month."
At this moment, Du Wanchun took out the mint-scented dew that she had just made that day and handed it to Aunt Wang. "Aunt Wang, take a look. This is our newly made dew. It's mainly used to refresh the mind and prevent mosquito bites."
Aunt Wang was overjoyed and immediately took it in her hand. When she opened it, she saw that the perfume inside was a vibrant green, completely different from the transparent rose perfume she had received before.
Aunt Zhou explained from the side, "I added a lot of Chinese medicinal herbs to it. Take a look, what do you think?"
Aunt Wang held it to her nose and smelled it. She immediately felt a cool sensation rush to her head, making her exceptionally clear-headed. "This fragrance really has a unique scent!"
Du Wanchun explained, "The fragrance is a bit overpowering, but you can apply it to the mosquito bites to quickly relieve the itching."
"Really?" Aunt Wang was very surprised; she had never seen anything so useful before.
Du Wanchun poured some into her hand, "Auntie can try it."
Aunt Wang applied the peppermint-scented lotion on her hand to the red and swollen area on her arm where she had been bitten by insects, half believing and half doubting. "I was bitten by something in the field yesterday, and it's so itchy today, so I'll try this."
After saying that, he used his hand to slowly spread the fragrance on it.
Du Wanchun and Aunt Zhou watched quietly from the side.
A moment later, Aunt Wang looked astonished. She shook her arm and exclaimed with delight, "Wow, it really doesn't itch anymore! It feels cool and refreshing, very comfortable!"
Du Wanchun and Aunt Zhou exchanged a smile, both of them beaming with joy.
Aunt Wang looked at the perfume in her hand like it was a treasure, smiling from ear to ear. "Sister Zhou, this stuff is really useful. When summer comes, with this, I won't be afraid of being bitten by mosquitoes anymore."
Aunt Zhou looked relieved. "I also wanted to give it a try because of Wan Chun's advice, and I didn't expect it to actually work."
Aunt Wang handed her the fragrant dew, saying, "If you sell this, someone will definitely buy it, but I don't know how much silver it will fetch."
Du Wanchun smiled and asked her, "If it were your aunt, how much silver would you be willing to spend?"
