Zhao Hongtiao felt something was wrong, so she took out the money from her pocket and counted it. She was immediately surprised: "You have so much money? You didn't give me your share, did you?"
"Each of us earned more than 50 yuan! It was mainly because the price of Gastrodia elata was high. But later, more people in our village came to collect medicinal herbs, so the price was probably not so high. The most profitable time was the first two or three months." Zeng Wenjuan was smart and quick to analyze immediately.
"I made so much money. I'll go back and ask my sisters to go to the mountain to look for Gastrodia elata together." Zhao Hongtiao said to Zeng Wenjuan with a smile, and counted out another twenty yuan and gave it to Zeng Wenjuan: "This money should be given to you. You handled all the herbs, so you should get the lion's share."
"If you still think I'm your good sister, just keep the money. I know you're in financial difficulty right now. Your sisters need to pay tuition fees. This money is enough. I also bought a piece of pork belly. You can take half of it back later."
From the story in the book, Zeng Wenjuan learned about Zhao Hongtiao's ending. It was at this time that Zhao Hongtiao's younger sister Zhao Hongqi had a high fever for some unknown reason. For the sake of her sisters, Zhao Hongtiao "sold" herself to Wang Liuzi, and was eventually tortured to death, along with the baby in her belly.
Zeng Wenjuan now knows and has a way to help Zhao Hongtiao change. She is determined to change the ending in Zhao Hongtiao's book.
"Okay, you leave the meat for Goudan. I'll take the money. My sister is feeling a little unwell today, so I'll go back first." Zhao Hongtiao was moved and put the money in her pocket.
Zeng Wenjuan's heart skipped a beat. She only knew it was this time because she had awakened. So many things had changed. She didn't know which day it was, but now after hearing what Zhao Hongtiao said, she knew it was today.
"Hongtiao, we can make money now. Remember to take the child to see Doctor Su. The child's fever can be serious or minor." Zeng Wenjuan stopped Zhao Hongtiao and reminded her.
Zhao Hongtiao nodded and fed Zhao Hongqi some antipyretic medicine. But she didn't know the specific situation: "Okay, I'll go home first." When Zhao Hongtiao got home, she found that her little sister was burning hot. She anxiously carried Zhao Hongqi to the village doctor.
"Ouch! It's so hot, we need western medicine! Western medicine is expensive, do you want to use it? If not, the child will probably become confused due to the fever." Doctor Su said, touching Zhao Hongqi's forehead.
Zhao Hongtiao took out a Mao bill from her pocket, handed it over and said, "Is this enough? If not, I'll give you another..."
"This is enough. Put the child to bed first! I will give her two injections later and see if the fever can go away. If it does, everything will be fine." Doctor Su said calmly.
When Zhao Hongtiao heard Doctor Su's Tiger Hill, she immediately put Zhao Hongqi on the bed. Soon, Doctor Su came over with medicine and needles.
"Turn her over and hold her down hard. The needle will hurt a little and I'm afraid the child will move around." Doctor Su said to Zhao Hongtiao.
Zhao Hongtiao obeyed and sat down on the bedside, letting Zhao Hongqi lie on her legs. She held him tightly, then looked up and said to Doctor Su, "Doctor Su, it's done. Please give my little sister the injection as soon as possible!"
"Okay, hold it steady! This injection hurts." After all, it's a reinforced potion, but the child's fever is too severe, over 40 degrees. If he's not treated quickly, he'll probably become a fool.
"Wow..." As soon as the needle was inserted into Zhao Hongqi's buttocks, she burst into tears. Zhao Hongtiao could only hug Zhao Hongqi and comfort her: "Oh oh oh... don't cry, don't cry!"
Doctor Su put the IV drip on again: "The injection just now was a special medicine. Now you need to get this IV drip too. It will heal faster."
"Okay, thank you, Doctor Su." Zhao Hongtiao nodded and thanked him with a depressed mood.
After Dr. Su helped Zhao Hongqi with the injection, he said to Zhao Hongtiao in a gentle voice: "When the medicine is gone later, just call me and I will come in to change the medicine for the child." After all, there are differences between men and women, and it would not be convenient for him to stay in the room.
"Okay, thank you, Doctor Su." Zhao Hongtiao thanked him again. Doctor Su nodded and left the room without saying anything more.
The other side.
Ge Qingqiu was at Zeng Wenjuan's house, quietly waiting for her answer. After Zhao Hongtiao left, she came in and explained the reason directly and concisely.
She had also been digging herbs during this period, and they were all the same as Zeng Wenjuan and the others. Seeing that Zeng Wenjuan was really making money, she brought her herbs to Zeng Wenjuan.
"Do you want me to help you sell these herbs? Let me be frank with you. You don't handle these herbs professionally. I'm afraid you won't make much money." Zeng Wenjuan examined the herbs carefully.
For some reason, she could tell the good herbs from the bad ones, especially after reading a lot of medical books. Whenever she saw some herbs, information about them would come to her mind.
"It doesn't matter. Any money I can make is good money. Please don't blame me. I didn't mean to learn from you guys. I'm just really tired of being poor." If the family had money, who would go to open up wasteland? It was tiring and dirty, but for the sake of the children and life, she really... had no choice!
Zeng Wenjuan nodded. It was not easy for them. She would help as much as she could. "Since you said so, I will take all of this. Whether I make a profit or a loss in the future is my business."
"It's okay, just don't worry about it. This is just a matter of lending a hand, and every penny I can earn is a penny." This is what Ge Qingqiu thought. She didn't spend a penny on these things, so it would be nice to get a penny!
Zeng Wenjuan said nothing, and checked the herbs one by one. She then went to the village chief's house and borrowed a scale. Only then did she weigh all the herbs.
"You have two kilograms of angelica, three kilograms of rehmannia, five kilograms of poria, and six kilograms of astragalus. Their quality is not good, so I can only sell them at half price. Angelica is five yuan per kilogram, rehmannia is two yuan and thirty yuan per kilogram, poria is eighty cents per kilogram, and astragalus is one yuan and thirty cents per kilogram. The total is 28.7 yuan." Zeng Wenjuan said to Ge Qingqiu.
When she heard that she could earn so much, she was immediately very happy. She said excitedly: "It doesn't need to be that much, just 20 yuan will be enough. I can't let you lose money."
"I won't lose money. Even if I do, it's my own business." Zeng Wenjuan took out money from her pocket and gave it to Ge Qingqiu. She believed in herself and her ability to judge the quality of medicinal materials.
Seeing that he couldn't refuse, Ge Qingqiu took the money and said excitedly: "I believe you can do it, Wenjuan. Can I learn from you how to process medicinal materials later?"
"I've told the village chief that I will teach everyone later, and you can just come and learn together then." Zeng Wenjuan said with a chuckle.
After seeing Ge Qingqiu off, Zeng Wenjuan returned the weight and prepared to cook dinner.
