If it wasn't my aunt Bai Fangbing, then who could it be? Su Nian and Chu Beichen looked at each other, and they saw shock in each other's eyes!
The three people were talking as they walked. Han Qing's guards were very perceptive. When they heard Minister Han lower his voice, they immediately kept their distance.
Han Qing once again thought of his cousin Han Bowu and his family. They didn't know that Grandpa Han had already adopted Su Nian. If they wanted to maximize their profits, Han Qing would become a stumbling block for Uncle Han's family to gain wealth.
"My uncle might be up to something!" Han Qing simply stated his suspicions. "He told Grandpa several times that he was willing to be adopted into my grandfather's family and become his biological son, but he always refused!"
Chu Beichen's eyes lit up, "That's possible. Since Grandpa already has you, it's unlikely that he will adopt your uncle. But if you die, Grandpa will have no children or grandchildren around him, so it's more likely that he will adopt your uncle!"
Coming to this conclusion, Su Nian felt horrified. "Could it be that just for money, one could do this?"
Han Qing was already used to it, so he nodded and said, "That's right."
The atmosphere suddenly cooled down, and Chu Beichen changed the subject, "Su Nian, does this herb need to be processed before it is boiled?"
Su Nian shook his head. "This herb has a slight laxative effect, but it's not significant. It's not as effective as sesame seeds. You can put it directly into a large pot and boil it. Use two bowls of water to make one bowl of water, and you'll have a decoction!"
Chu Beichen raised his wrist and let the watch appear in the light. "It's already two in the morning, and there's not much time left until dawn!"
Han Qing and Su Nian both became nervous and quickened their pace as they walked down the mountain.
Just when Su Nian felt that her legs were about to break, the outline of Laowan Township finally appeared in front of her. Chu Beichen looked at Su Nian worriedly, "I'll carry you!"
Su Nian shook his head. "It's not easy to go down the mountain. You should just walk on your own. I can keep up with you!"
Chu Beichen had no choice but to grab Su Nian's wrist and pull her down the mountain.
After entering the Laowan Township Government, Su Nian didn't have time to rest and hurried to wash the medicinal materials. Hu Hongde set up a large iron pot in the yard, poured water into it and started boiling it.
Han Qing and Chu Beichen refused to rest and insisted on staying with Su Nian to help her boil the medicine.
As dawn approached, the medicinal soup was finally ready. Hu Hongde had the township staff knock on every door, urging everyone to get up and drink the medicine. He himself took out a loud speaker used for propaganda and repeatedly announced the need to take the medicine.
In order not to cause panic, Hu Hongde did not mention the plague at all, but instead described the medicine soup as a medicine for preventing colds.
Winter is the time for farmers to rest and recuperate. The loudspeaker broadcast for half an hour before groups of people wearing cotton jackets appeared in the yard.
Hu Hongde and Xinxiang Mayor were in charge personally, explaining to everyone that this herb was an excellent medicine for preventing colds, while supervising everyone to drink the medicine soup.
Chu Beichen and a staff member were responsible for recording. Chu Beichen registered the life, while the staff member was responsible for reviewing and checking.
The villagers of Laowan Township felt that it didn't matter whether a cold was prevented or not, but since the medicine was free, everyone drank it readily since they didn't have to spend any money.
The sun finally rose, giving everyone a rare smile. Most of the villagers in Laowan Township had already taken preventive medicine.
Chu Beichen pointed at the three names on the roster, frowning, "These three people haven't shown up yet, what's going on?"
