Chapter 56: Old Problem

"What's happening out there?"

Li drank the dark medicine and her mouth was full of bitterness. She frowned and said, "Go outside and take a look."

"I'll go see you after you finish your medicine."

Boss Qin's eyes were full of affection for Li.

Compared to what happens outside, nothing is more important than my wife.

Li glared at him in disapproval, "Go! This medicine is too bitter, I'll take my time before drinking it."

"The medicine won't be bitter unless you swallow it in one gulp."

This is just to fool a three-year-old child.

Those who are supposed to suffer will have to suffer, it’s just a matter of how long it will take.

Just at this moment, footsteps were heard outside the door. It was Old Liu who came in, holding a bowl of water in each hand, with a gloomy face, "Boss, why are you still staying in the room? Your son is sick..."

The next moment, the medicine bowl fell to the ground.

A crisp sound of breaking sounded! Li hurriedly put on her shoes and clothes, "Chi'er is sick? Why didn't you tell me earlier!"

I got up too quickly, my vision went dark, and I almost fell again.

Fortunately, it was Boss Qin who hugged her and said, "Don't worry, wife. Doctor Jing is still living at home. Dalang will be fine."

Hearing this, Li's nervous mood calmed down a little, "Help me go over and take a look."

"I'll go, you stay in the room and have a good rest. Dalang doesn't want you to go to see him when you're sick."

The couple had been together day and night for many years, and Boss Qin knew best how to comfort Li. Soon, Li lay back on the bed.

Old Liu glanced at the two of them with disdain.

The sickly girl gave birth to a sickly little boy. Mrs. Liu got angry when she thought about it. Just this pair of mother and son ruined all the good fortune of the Qin family.

"Li, come and drink this water."

Old Mrs. Liu handed a bowl of water to Mrs. Li.

Then give the other bowl to Boss Qin.

Li took it and saw the dirty water inside, which looked like clean water sprinkled with ashes. She frowned and asked, "Mother-in-law, what kind of water is this?"

"The magic water is very effective. I spent a lot of money on it, and the whole family has to drink it."

As soon as Old Liu said this.

Boss Qin quickly took the bowl from Li's hand and said, "Mom, my wife won't drink. Let me drink it all."

So he gulped down the two bowls of water in one breath.

Boss Qin didn't dare give Li this stuff of unknown origin, but he couldn't go against his mother, so he could only bear it himself. This made Boss Liu very angry.

A slap hit Boss Qin on the shoulder.

"You idiot, you are courting death! You drank all the portion for each person, so what did Li drink? This is talisman water for warding off disasters!" Old Liu spent one or two taels of silver for the first time.

This shows how much importance she attaches to this talisman.

Old Liu said angrily, "Anyway, Li has no share. Whatever happens to her has nothing to do with me."

It’s better to die!

It would be a good opportunity for the eldest son to marry a strong and healthy woman, and maybe even have a few more grandchildren.

When Song Jin saw Old Liu carrying the two bowls of things, he knew something was not right. He came over and saw what Boss Qin was doing, and then found out that it was talisman water.

Many people in this country believe this.

Whenever there is something happening at home, or to ward off illness or disaster, someone will bring back a talisman.

The Song family has been dealing with medicinal materials for many years.

As for the talismans that can cure diseases, people are in awe of them but will not use them.

Old Liu came out of the main room and started giving drinks to other people in the family. Don't say that she didn't want to drink it herself. The first bowl she came back was her own, which she then served to Old Man Qin.

Next came the couple in the first wife's house.

Doctor Jing was guarding Qin Chi's place, so the talisman water could not be brought in.

Old Mrs. Liu went to look for the second and third wives.

Everyone drank a bowl, even Erya wanted to drink it.

Qin Mingsong held the bowl of magic water and refused in his heart, but old Liu was firm in her attitude, so he had to drink it. Song Xiu saw this and hid far away.

Fortunately, Mrs. Liu didn't let her drink it.

Little Liu looked at Old Liu and said, "Mom, there are still three people at home who haven't drunk yet, how come there is only one left?"

"This is Dalang's." Old Mrs. Liu said with a stern face.

Does this mean there is no Song brocade and Song embroidery?

Little Liu's eyes rolled around, and she slipped outside to inquire. Surprisingly, she actually found out the truth.

The eldest grandson was already very successful, and he was about to have a great-grandson. These two things would definitely make Old Liu look good, and she could brag about them in front of her old sisters for a while.

As luck would have it, Mrs. Li fainted, and Mrs. Liu felt very unlucky.

Everyone in the village is superstitious.

Before daybreak, Mrs. Liu went to the old blind man at the foot of the mountain to tell her fortune.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

The old blind man is very famous in this area and is said to be very good at fortune-telling.

Originally, Mrs. Liu suspected that the Soong sisters were jinxes.

As a result, the old blind man said that the Song sisters were blessed daughters, and that the Qin family's blessings were shallow and could not handle such great blessings, etc. He almost said that the Qin family was an unblessed family.

The old blind man also cited Li’s fainting as an example.

They said that Li was born weak and that was why he was the first to suffer misfortune.

It will be the turn of others later!

When Mrs. Liu heard this, she was shocked.

He immediately spent one or two taels of silver and bought sixteen talismans.

When he hurried back, he heard that Qin Chi was sick, and he was so scared that his legs went weak.

Isn't this exactly what the old blind man said? One after another, bad luck? ! So, Old Liu immediately served each person a bowl of magic water.

After a while, the last bowl of water was brought to Qin Chi, but it was Doctor Jing who took it at the door and said, "Sir, although there won't be any major problems if you drink this talisman water, you may not want to drink it."

"Oh, then you fell."

Doctor Jing bent down and poured the water under the bed.

Qin Chi sat on the bed, looking towards the door, his brows slightly furrowed, "Where's my wife? Did you drive her out?"

"You are sick and she is pregnant, so normally we should avoid each other." Doctor Jing said patiently.

Qin Chi looked at him with a half-smile, "Mr. Jing, my Qin family is so small. If you kick my wife out, where will she sleep tonight? She is now a precious lady with two bodies."

"Well?"

Doctor Jing thought about it and asked tentatively, "I'll go out later and ask if your illness is serious?"

"Whatever you say."

In short, he cannot sleep in a separate bed from his wife.

That woman was originally very carefree.

If she were to stay away from him again, she would definitely turn around and forget about him in a corner.

"Are you hungry, my husband? Auntie has cooked some rice porridge. Would you like a bowl?"

Song Jin's gentle voice came from outside the door.

Doctor Jing stroked his beard and smiled, "Young Master is so lucky."

Qin Chiren had already lain back down on the bed. His aura had calmed down, and he looked as sickly as Song Jin had seen him in the morning. He signaled Doctor Jing to respond with his eyes.

Doctor Jing went to open the door himself.

"Come in, your husband has an old illness, it's nothing serious. I said that before because I was worried that he had a cold."

Doctor Jing explained patiently.

Song Jin thanked him sincerely and went in with a bowl of porridge.

Doctor Jing tactfully took the medicine box and went out to see Li for a follow-up examination.
