Chapter 300: Widow Liu's Troubles
After brewing, the whole family can drink it while eating.
It feels so good.
"Oh my god, how come this stuff tastes so good? It's sour, slightly sweet, and has a wine taste, but it doesn't irritate the throat. It's not just the wine, but also the bitterness of tea. After drinking it, my mouth is full of the fragrance of osmanthus." Zhang Jinlan sighed, holding the cup.
She wanted to say, no wonder it was a recipe passed down by immortals.
He is really a god, he knows how to enjoy himself.
Seeing Jiang Meng and Jiang Cheng there, she swallowed the rest of her words.
Jiang Fubao originally thought that grandma would drink the sweet children's version, but he didn't expect that grandma's favorite was the alcoholic version.
Green plum drink has captured everyone's heart.
Everyone found their favorite flavor.
"I estimate that these can only be sold for a month at most. Tomorrow you should quickly buy some green plums, the more the better. As long as the jar is not opened, they will not go bad. We need to pickle more.
This is the only way to get through to next year. Green plums will soon be out of season. I remember there are a few green plum trees on the mountain. I will tell the villagers to go to the mountain to pick them in the next two days. The price is 10 kilograms for 1 cent. "
After dinner, Jiang Shoujia suddenly remembered something.
He said.
"Okay, I'll buy a few more tanks because the ones I have at home are not enough."
Zhang Jinlan quickly agreed.
Jiang Shoujia left with his hands behind his back.
Jiang Fubao didn't follow.
Tonight, she ate too much and drank a full glass of green plum drink, which made her stomach feel bloated and uncomfortable.
So, after resting for a while, the children started playing rooster catches chicken again.
“Tsk——”
The moon hangs high in the sky, round like a wooden basin.
The light spread like water in the yard of Widow Liu's house.
She covered her chest and squatted on the ground vomiting violently.
"Tsk tsk, you vomited right after finishing your meal. What a waste of food! Zhuzi is exhausted from doing odd jobs in town, and you still don't show any consideration for him."
Sun Xiaotao sat in a chair to enjoy the cool air.
She waved the fan with her slender hands, her eyes full of teasing.
After seeing this scene, she not only did not step forward to show concern, but also tried to sow discord between the mother and son in a sarcastic manner.
Jiang Zhuzi's face fell instantly: "Mom, what's wrong with you? You vomited even after eating some wild vegetable porridge, but we are fine."
"I don't know what's wrong. My stomach feels like it's churning and I feel so uncomfortable. Son, let's go to the town with you tomorrow. I want to see a doctor." Widow Liu didn't care about her daughter-in-law's words.
Because...
She suddenly remembered something.
The whole person became extremely flustered.
"Hey, are you Jin Gui's wife? You still want to see a doctor? It's okay to vomit a few times. Do you know how much it costs to see a doctor? Your family is so poor that you can't even afford it, but you are still so extravagant. You should think more about Zhuzi. If you really want to see a doctor, ask your precious daughter to take you there."
Let me talk about the last sentence.
Sun Xiaotao's eyes brightened a lot.
Previously, when the family could not afford to pay the grain taxes and fines, the mother-in-law would ask her sister-in-law for help.
Only then was it submitted.
My sister-in-law's in-laws seemed to be quite wealthy. Not only did they give her food, they also gave her two taels of silver.
She took some of the food back to her parents' home.
"You are so heartless. Yadan has helped our family so much. You have forgotten this great kindness in a blink of an eye? What, Zhuzi, you don't want to support me anymore? All right, as long as you go to the village and tell me, I will leave immediately. I won't stay in this house any longer."
Not feeling well.
Widow Liu also became much more irritable.
How dare Jiang Zhuzi say that?
Among all virtues, filial piety comes first.
Those who are unfilial will be spit on and condemned to death by the whole village. Regardless, if they are reported to the government, they will face imprisonment.
Thinking of this, Jiang Zhuzi's mind became much clearer.
He stopped speaking for his wife.
Instead, he helped his mother.
"Mom, Xiao Tao is talking nonsense. How about this, when I come back from the town tomorrow, I will go to the nearby village to invite a doctor for you. Let's not go to the town. The doctors in the town are so expensive. Even if you sell me, I can't afford it."
Jiang Zhuzi thought of a compromise.
But Widow Liu didn't want anyone to know what her physical condition was.
She refused.
"I have to go to the town. You can't say any more. What did you promise to mother when you wanted to marry this vicious woman? Have you forgotten it in the blink of an eye?"
Her heart was chilled, and Widow Liu's voice also became much colder.
The mother and son parted unhappily.
The next day, Widow Liu took the stolen money and went to the town alone.
She found a remote clinic and went in.
"Doctor, please check my pulse. I've been feeling unwell lately and want to vomit all the time. My wife is worried about me and insisted that I come to town for a check-up."
She told a lie casually.
Sat down.
The old doctor stretched out his hand and placed it on her wrist.
Not long after, Widow Liu was asked to replace her arm.
"You are pregnant, but your body is overworked and you have some miscarriage, so you vomit frequently. I will prescribe some medicine to stabilize the pregnancy for you. Take it once a day for seven days. Also, if you feel like vomiting again, eat something sour to relieve the pressure, and you will feel better."
How could the doctor know that the woman in front of him was a widow?
With a happy look on his face, he congratulated Widow Liu.
However, Widow Liu felt as if the sky had fallen.
After paying the consultation fee, she turned around and left without even prescribing any pregnancy-maintaining medicine.
Passing by a vendor selling green plums, she felt a little greedy, but she only had two coins left in her pocket, so she could only swallow her saliva and not look at it again.
Not long after she left town.
Zhang Jinlan bought all the green plums that the vendor had just sold.
That’s not all.
She bought up all the green plums sold in the town.
Afraid that the ox cart would be filled with bamboo baskets and her family would not be able to sit, she asked her eldest son to take her home in the morning when he was not busy.
And on the mountain in the village.
Many women and children were picking green plums, carrying bamboo baskets on their backs, carrying bamboo baskets on their shoulders, or carrying bamboo baskets on their shoulders.
In the fields at the foot of the mountain.
A sun-tanned man was planting potatoes while having sex.
There is vitality everywhere.
The forest was foggy and particularly humid after the rain.
Under the lush trees and among the grass, there are mushrooms of various colors, sizes, and even strange shapes.
The water drops on the treetops slide down every once in a while.
It just dripped onto the top of the bun-like mushroom.
Once villagers passing by find it, they will pick it up immediately.
Jiang Fubao returned to the village to greet the sunset.
As soon as she arrived at the door of her house, she saw a line of people queuing outside.
Everyone carried a bamboo basket, a bamboo basket and a backpack.
It was filled with green plums.
"You have twenty catties here, so it's twenty cents. Go get the money from Tong Jin."
Jiang Shoujia and Jiang Tongjin, who stayed at home, were responsible for buying the green plums of the villagers.
Seeing his granddaughter coming back, Jiang Shoujia looked up and smiled at her, then continued with his work.
Originally, the Jiang family did not have a scale, so they bought one specially after the transaction.
Now, it comes in handy.
After collecting all the green plums from everyone, the sunset came to an end.
The meal was ready, and the whole family, including Jiang Meng and Jiang Cheng, held their bowls and started eating.
