Chapter 33: Natural and man-made disasters! Hoarding medicine!



Xie Ruhua is fifteen years old and will take the high school entrance exam next year. She is a lively and cheerful girl, but even so, she learned about what happened at home while she was in school...

Xie Ruhua: “!!!”

It’s still too messy!

On the day when her eldest brother and his wife got their marriage certificate, he went to school to give her steamed bread and pickles. She knew that her eldest sister-in-law was going to marry into the Xie family, but...

Why didn't they even tell her that the eldest brother and his wife were holding a wedding banquet? Also, she hadn't been home for only half a month, so why did the second brother's family fall apart?

Although she also disliked Du Guirong, she felt even more distressed when she saw her second brother looking so depressed!

"Mom and Dad, why don't we try to persuade our second brother to behave like that?"

Xie Ruhua asked the two elders for advice, but...

"How can we persuade him about this? He has to figure it out himself!"

Hearing this, Xie Ruhua turned to look at her sister, "Sister..."

Xie Ruyun: "Don't look at me, I don't know how to persuade you."

Finally, Xie Ruhua looked at Gu Nanzhi for help. Since she was not familiar with her, she was too embarrassed to speak, but the look in her eyes and expression were all sending out signals for help...

Gu Nanzhi: “…”

He glanced at Xie Ruhua with a complicated expression, then turned to look at the rain falling outside the window.

"Don't look at me! The sky is falling on me now, there's nothing I can do..."

Xie Ruhua: “???”

It seems like the sister-in-law doesn’t like her a little?

Everyone: “???”

Why did the eldest sister-in-law say that the sky was falling? Was it because Wang Bingcheng was so small?

Gu Nanzhi...

It really feels like the sky is falling and the earth is collapsing!

It would have been fine if she hadn't seen Xie Ruhua. She hadn't expected Xie Ruhua's ending. When she saw her and the rain that accompanied her, Gu Nanzhi couldn't help but think of the plot in the original book...

In the original book, not long after Xu Xiangling was reborn, when the autumn harvest was approaching, heavy rain suddenly hit the area where Xiejia Village was located. The rain continued for three days, submerging all the fertile fields and crushing many houses. The accumulated water after the rain caused an epidemic!

Many people died in that epidemic, including Tuanzi and Xie Ruhua!

At that time, Xie Ruyun had already married into the Gu family, leaving her two daughters in the Xie family. She failed to elope and was sold to the mountains. Xie Ruhua had to drop out of school and go home to help her sister take care of the children...

The first person in the Xie family to be infected was Xie Ruyun's youngest daughter Tuanzi. Soon, Xie Ruhua, who took care of her, was also infected. The pain of losing her daughter may be one of the reasons why Xie Ruyun went crazy later. And Xu Xiangling, who had returned after rebirth and had the upper hand...

He had clearly bought the right medicine in advance, but he used it to save the old village chief and the village cadres' families. One reason was to gain a good reputation, and the other was to qualify for the college entrance examination next year!

If a person does not work for himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth. Gu Nanzhi did not comment on Xu Xiangling's choice, but...

Thinking of that natural disaster and man-made disaster, she felt like the sky was about to fall!

what to do?

Little Tuanzi is so cute, and Xie Ruhua is at her most beautiful age. She can find a way to protect them, but what about others?

The medical conditions in that era were so backward that there was a shortage of needles and medicines everywhere. The donkey cart of medicine she bought from the town hospital was because there was no decent barefoot doctor within a radius of ten miles of Xiejia Village. With her hard work, all the places for medicine in the vicinity were given to her...

She can’t buy medicine even if she has money, and the medicine in her space laboratory has a refresh time limit!

A good cook cannot cook without rice. How can she save more people?

Gu Nanzhi was so anxious that he was spinning around in circles. Suddenly, a flash of inspiration came to his mind...

"Mountain! Go up the mountain to collect herbs!"

Gu Nanzhi turned around and looked at Xie's mother and others who were somewhat at a loss because of her, and said in a deep voice, "Don't go to the fields tomorrow, come with me to the mountains to collect herbs!"

Whether it is the anti-dysentery herb Pulsatilla, Phellodendron chinense, or Licorice...

Or the fever-reducing coptis root and bupleurum root...

Collect all you can, the more the better!

As for the land...

After the heavy rain, all the unripe corn and millet in the fields became moldy. We will try to encourage people to harvest them when the time comes. As for the harvest...

Don't hold out hope!

It’s good enough if no one starves to death!

Everyone: “???”

He looked at Gu Nanzhi in confusion, his eyes full of doubts!

"Sister-in-law, you have been frowning for such a long time, just because of this?"

Upon seeing this, Xie Jianbang couldn't help but put aside his sorrow and spoke in doubt.

Gu Nanzhi: “…”

Is it her fault for making a fuss?

But can she tell the truth?

She can't!

so……

"I'm serious!"

Gu Nanzhi said solemnly, "In more than a month, the crops in the fields will be harvested. After the crops are harvested, we still need to do autumn ploughing. It will take a long time to be busy. However, when the autumn wind blows through the mountains, many herbs are out of season. I need herbs to nourish Xie Zhenting, and I also need herbs to treat other people's illnesses..."

"If we go to the town hospital to buy all the herbs, it will cost a lot of money, and the profit will be greatly reduced! Anyway, there is nothing to do in the fields right now, so why don't you all come with me to the mountains to collect herbs, so that we can store more herbs at home to survive the winter..."

Since it was about Xie Zhenting, Xie's father and mother were instantly convinced!

As for Xie Jianbang, his elder brother is important, but his elder sister-in-law’s profit is more important, so he compromised very quickly!

As for the rest, Xie Ruyun was the one who readily accepted good advice, but Xie Ruhua...

"Isn't it said that autumn is the harvest season?"

Xie Ruhua raised a question, it’s not even the season yet…

“You don’t understand!”

Seeing that he had convinced most people in the family, Gu Nanzhi breathed a sigh of relief and waved his hand, saying, "Medicinal herbs are different from crops! There are different seasons for picking medicinal herbs. Aren't we going to avoid the busy farming season? We can't do without them at home, so it's always good to stock up on some medicinal herbs in advance!"

Every profession has its own expertise, and Xie Ruhua was also convinced.

After obtaining the unanimous consent of her family, Gu Nanzhi finally put her heart at ease. In order to avoid revealing too much emotion, she filled a basin of water and hid in Xie Zhenting's room.

Xie Zhenting: “…”

Hearing the footsteps of the woman approaching, his heart frowned slightly.

The footsteps sounded a bit chaotic. What happened to this woman? Or did something happen at home?

"Xie Zhenting, I have good news and bad news for you!"

A familiar voice came, Xie Zhenting: "!!!"

My heart was suddenly in my throat!

The last time this woman spoke to him like this, she didn't bring any good news. This time...

"The good news is that your brother and Du Guirong are divorced!"

Gu Nanzhi said as she wiped Xie Zhenting's face.

Xie Zhenting: “!!!”

How is this good news?

His brother is a widower, what about his nephew Yuanbao? Who is he with?

"The bad news is that I clearly knew that a disaster was about to happen, but there was very little I could do to help..."

Gu Nanzhi's voice was full of helplessness.

Heavy rains cause disasters, and once an epidemic breaks out after the disaster, it will affect many people. Even if the whole family is persuaded, how much medicine can they collect? How many people can they save?

It’s not that she didn’t think about asking the sweeping monk at the town hospital for help, but…

That sweeping monk is not an ordinary person, he won’t be as easily fooled as the Xie family!
