Chapter 382 Buying Medicine

"No," Cheng Hui said, "I came to pick out some nice decorations to decorate my brother's general's mansion."

"It turns out that the Second Master's General's Mansion needs to be decorated," Zhiran looked at Cheng Hui with a smile, "Miss Huihui, please wait, I will ask someone to bring all the best things in our shop to you, and you can choose."

"This is a problem for Sister Zhiran."

"Miss Huihui, what are you talking about? I'll take you to have some tea first and ask them to go to the warehouse to pick up the goods. Once they're ready, you can come back and pick them up."

Cheng Hui listened to this and smiled, "Okay."

"Dongsheng, go and do your work. Send someone to call me when you're done." Zhiran gave Dongsheng an instruction, then turned around and led Cheng Hui and Xia Mei out of the shop, talking and laughing.

On the way, Zhiran ran into an old lady holding a pile of clothes to be mended. She stopped and said hello, "Oh, Aunt Zhao, you've taken on a lot of work again. It's really hard work. You still have to work at such an old age."

When Aunt Zhao heard Zhiran say this, her old eyebrows immediately arched, her wrinkled face flushed red, and she glared at Zhiran, "That can't be compared to you, you have been a slave all your life!"

Zhiran snorted, "Aunt Zhao, you are right. I, a servant, have to take my master to have tea. Unlike you, you work for the whole family. There are several people in the family, and even my mother-in-law has to rely on you to take care of her!"

Seeing that Aunt Zhao was about to lose her temper, Zhiran quickly said, "Okay, okay, I won't disturb you from working. I have to accompany the master to drink tea, and then I have to accompany the master to select goods!"

After saying that, Zhiran took Cheng Hui and Xia Mei and continued to move forward.

Seeing Zhiran leading people to drink tea, Aunt Zhao was furious and anxious. She spat and cursed in the street, "What are you so proud of? In the end, you are still a lowly slave! We are commoners! You will never be able to compare to us in your whole life!"

She cursed like this, asking Cheng Hui and Xia Mei in the front to listen.

"Sister-in-law, why don't you tell her that the young lady has already released you from slavery and you have been a commoner for a long time." Sister Xia said.

"Tsk, I won't tell her," Zhiran glanced at the angry Madam Zhao, "The more you do this, the angrier she'll get. Look at me, a servant, eating and drinking delicious food all day long, while her family is an honest family, and the innocent ones can't even afford to eat!"

There was a bad look in Zhiran's eyes.

These people just act very high and mighty, thinking that they are common people. When they see slaves, they feel superior and look down on them.

The more she looks down on me, the more she will be disappointed. I eat and drink better than she does every day. She can still curse me in front of others, but she will be so angry behind their backs.

Sure enough, after jumping up and down and cursing in the street, Aunt Zhao felt even more aggrieved.

Oh, oh, oh! How come Zhiran, that lowly servant, gets to eat and drink the best food all day long, while this servant of a wealthy family also gets such good treatment? She relies on the master's help and lives a really good life.

If her son had hired her, maybe it would have brought some honor to their family...

At least I don't have to worry about food and drink...

The more Aunt Zhao thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt. After she returned home, she saw her plump daughter-in-law reading a book in the yard. Seeing this, she became even more angry.

How come they married such a daughter-in-law who can't do anything and only knows how to enjoy herself!

This girl from a "scholarly family" is really good-looking but useless. If you think about it carefully, she is not as good as that cheap girl Zhiran.

That girl runs such a big shop, she is very efficient and can handle all kinds of work. Looking at her physique, I'm sure she can plow three miles of land by herself in the countryside. She can do all the housework inside and outside the house, such as washing clothes, sewing and mending, cooking and cleaning. Why does she, an old woman, need to still do these things at her age?

After comparing them secretly, Aunt Zhao felt unhappy.

At this time, her daughter-in-law said, "Mom."

"What's wrong?"

"My mother has finished her medicine today, you have to buy some more today!" said the daughter-in-law tenderly.

When Aunt Zhao heard this, she really wanted to give up, but she didn't dare to. She couldn't help but complain, "How come it's gone? I remember I just bought it a few days ago."

As soon as she finished her dissatisfied voice, she heard a cry of "Xizi holding her heart". Her daughter-in-law covered her chest and said, "Oh, why do I feel depressed again?"

Seeing this, Aunt Zhao dared not to disobey her, "Okay, okay, I'll go buy the medicine right away!"

I really married a great ancestor!

Not only do you have to support your daughter-in-law, but you also have to support her mother.

She would feel unwell if things didn't go her way, and her daughter-in-law would fall ill too. How could she dare not agree?

As for divorcing their daughter-in-law and marrying another one, not to mention that their family does not have the money, when they first proposed to her, she promised in front of all the neighbors that she would take care of both of them. If they divorced her and kicked her out, their family would have no place to live in this alley.

No matter how reluctant Aunt Zhao was, she had to swallow it. She quickly put down her clothes and took the little money she had at home to buy medicine for her mother-in-law.

There are a lot of people in the clinic.

The west of the city is full of common people, and the clinic business here is also good.

As soon as Aunt Zhao entered the store, a familiar apprentice greeted her, "Aunt Zhao, you are here to get medicine for your in-laws again!"

"Yes." Aunt Zhao's face was dark. "Let's start with three...one pair."

Buy them one by one, eat them one by one, what's the point of buying them!

"Okay, right away!"

Just then, an old woman came in, her clothes much richer than those ordinary people in the west of the city.

She was in her fifties, with a very dignified face. The front of her dress was covered with two satin patches embroidered with patterns. It was obvious from her attire that she was not an ordinary person.

She exuded an aura of majesty without even getting angry, very much like the maids that followed the masters of wealthy families.

Madam Zhao could tell at a glance because she had met her master Zhiran twice. When she came, she rode in a carriage, and when she got off, she was surrounded by a large group of maids and nannies.

At first glance, this man is the same as the servant beside Master Zhiran.

Because of this, she couldn't help but take a closer look, and then she heard the man take out a prescription from his pocket and said, "Get the medicine according to this, quickly."

She looked at the medicine boy with great majesty, and her words were orders.

The medicine boy took the prescription carefully and asked, "How many doses do you want?"

"One is enough."

"Okay, wait a moment."

The medicine boy lowered his head in a flattering manner and turned around to get the medicine.

At this time, the nanny felt that Aunt Zhao had been looking at her, so she turned her head and glanced at her.

Aunt Zhao turned her head away immediately, "Are you done? I still have something to do later!"

"Right away."

Seeing that it was just an ordinary old woman, Nanny Qin withdrew her gaze.
