Chapter 58 As long as you are willing to spend money
After listening to Chen Chunxing explain all the medicinal herbs he had used on Shen Mingqiu over the years, Doctor Chang pulled his beard again.
"After two years, has she really remembered everything?"
Just now, Shen Zhixia gestured on Shen Chunxing's palm, and then he relayed it.
"My sister has a good memory." Chen Chunxing was very calm.
Doctor Chang nodded without saying anything.
Being able to remember all the medicinal herbs used was already a rare achievement. What was more important was that a girl who was less than ten years old could actually help a person who should have died to survive for two more years just by relying on her keen sense of the medicinal properties.
It's simply... incredible.
"Come with me." Doctor Chang stood up suddenly and said to Shen Zhixia with a serious face.
Then he asked someone to move Shen Mingqiu into the house, and the two of them stayed there for an hour.
Until noon, when Diao brought the prepared food to the table, no one came out.
"Is Doctor Chang really capable? I think it would be best to let the second girl treat him."
No matter how tough she spoke, she couldn't control her legs. Diao didn't even have the appetite to eat and stood at the door of the main hall for a long time.
"We were just blindly treating it before, but now that we have the opportunity, of course we have to treat it seriously."
Chen Chunxing pulled the fourth child out of the haystack. Just as he wiped his hands and face, the two little creatures grabbed his feet and picked up a small fish from the table and threw it on the ground.
The caracal sniffed and left without much interest, while the orange cat ate with a grunt.
Diao's eyes shifted downwards, and she couldn't help but mutter, "What on earth is this thing? It looks like a cat, how can it not like to eat fish?"
Shen Chunxing was asked.
In her previous life, she had only heard of this kind of animal but never seen it. She vaguely remembered it was a cat...
"Rat!" Chen Yandong suddenly stood up, chopsticks still in his hand, his cheeks puffing out.
Adults have no appetite for food, but silly children are an exception.
"Rat? Do you know this thing?" Diao was very skeptical.
"Cat!"
"Rat!" Chen Yandong answered firmly and loudly.
It is natural for cats to eat mice.
"That's good. With two cats at home, we don't have to worry about mice anymore."
Diao's casual remark made Chen Chunxing raise an eyebrow. She stared at the caracal for a long time, suddenly squatted down, and touched the little thing's head very gently.
"Good baby, I'll let you eat as much as you want tomorrow."
The caracal tilted its head in a cute way, then walked back, squatted on the doorstep, and shook off its fur.
Seemingly disgusted.
Chen Chunxing curled his lips and simply hugged it in his arms and squashed it.
After chatting for a while.
Diao sighed and was about to ask everyone to eat first when she saw the door of the house diagonally opposite open and she suddenly turned a corner.
"What's going on? Can my third child be saved?"
Doctor Chang nodded and shook his head, with a look of surprise on his face.
"Although his body is filled with multiple toxins, each one counteracts the other, creating a delicate balance... I admire the boldness of Zhixia's use of medication."
Diao couldn't help but look at the blushing Shen Zhixia, and the corners of her mouth twitched violently.
Isn't that bold... He just picked two random ones from the forest and stuffed them into the third brother's mouth... He suffered from vomiting, diarrhea, high fever and chills...
If the eldest girl hadn't insisted that the second child was the third child's savior, she would have buried him directly rather than let him try.
It's so unbearable to look at it!
Doctor Chang naturally had no idea of the details, but after further discovering the talent of the second daughter of the Shen family, his mind suddenly became active and he continued to explain.
"Although the poison has been contained, it has still corroded his internal organs. His foundation is too weak, and he already has an illness. It will erupt sooner or later."
"Although the current emergency is serious, if I can find some tonics, it should be able to delay the disease for a while. I will then find a way to slowly detoxify..."
Seeing that Diao's eyes were wide open, Doctor Chang stopped talking at the right time and concluded.
"Anyway, it's easier to treat than your fourth son's illness. As long as you're willing to spend money and take good care of him, getting married and having children won't be a problem in the future."
Diao was delighted at first, but after hearing this, she blurted out, "The problem is that we don't have money!"
Even the old mountain ginseng that had saved his life earlier was accidentally dug up by the eldest girl.
Doctor Chang smiled awkwardly and didn't respond.
He is not a stingy person...but he does not have the capital to be charitable.
Everyone couldn't help but look at Chen Chunxing.
Even Doctor Chang, an outsider, has already identified the backbone of the Shen family.
"It's good that you're not dead. Let's eat first."
Chen Chunxing filled the bowls in front of everyone, and under Diao's burning gaze, he picked up half a fish and covered Doctor Chang's bowl with it.
"Old man, what do you think of my sister? She likes quietness, and you happen to not like crowds, so she could be a good companion on weekdays."
Doctor Chang was so stared at that he felt uneasy. He was torn between his conscience and his conscience. He felt that he should be grateful for what he had received, but he also felt that if he didn't eat it, it would be a waste...
Upon hearing this, without even thinking, he immediately picked up the bowl and took two bites.
"Very good, very good. I'm old and my memory is poor. I didn't remember all the herbs you just mentioned. It's a good opportunity to let Zhixia remind me at any time so as not to delay Mingqiu's illness."
There should be rewards only if you make efforts.
The old man admired the eldest daughter of the Shen family's character of not being at a disadvantage.
He won't suffer any loss anyway.
It has been said since ancient times that when the master has something to do, the disciples should do the hard work.
I just happen to have something I've been waiting for half my life that needs someone to do.
After dinner.
Doctor Chang took Shen Zhixia back to the house and wanted to give Shen Mingqiu a few more injections so that he could at least move his jaw.
Otherwise, he would die of starvation instead of illness.
Chen Chunxing said hello and took Yang Yi out.
Diao stared at the backs of the two men, hesitated for a long time, but ultimately did not stop them.
The reason why the eldest girl was detained in the village was because she herself said that it was not a good place to make a name for herself. The faster she made a name for herself, the more likely she would get into trouble.
But now that we're in the north, and the eldest girl no longer controls the three children, I shouldn't control her in everything anymore.
——
The two of them left and it was dark before Chen Chunxing returned alone.
"Where's Yang Yi?"
"Ah, he went to earn money."
Diao was stunned and asked hurriedly, "This guy is unfamiliar with the place, where can he make money?"
"Not far, just in the village."
"How can you make money in such a poor place? Is someone trying to trick you?"
Diao was puzzled and anxious.
The eldest girl left with nothing in her hands, but came back with a hoe inexplicably.
"We went to take a look at the wasteland we were allocated. It seems okay and we can grow things there. Didn't you go out and take a look this afternoon? There are so many people outside."
Seeing that Diao was staring at the hoe, Chen Chunxing threw it to the corner and explained.
"It was from the old man's house. I thought I could use it, so I went to get it. No one dared to go to his house anyway."
"It's a rare opportunity to get everyone excited. One more person working will help us finish the project one day sooner. Even though I'm the village chief, I can't just sit there and watch. I'll ask Yang Yi to stay and help."
There are plenty of reasons.
So after dinner, when no one came back, Diao was slightly suspicious but did not ask any further questions.
Anyway, it’s not the first day that these two people have been talking nonsense.
And you really believed what the big girl said.
