Chapter 19 We’re Rich!

At this time, Mrs. Wei and Xingxing knew nothing about what had happened at the Su family in Shuji Hutong.

The grandfather and grandson were eating candied haws one by one as they walked towards the clinic.

Coincidentally, there are two clinics on this street, which are diagonally opposite each other. They are the two largest clinics in Mapo County.

The clinics on both sides are of similar size, and the doctors' specialties are also similar, both treating injuries and bruises.

Mrs. Wei was inevitably a little hesitant. She looked around and muttered to herself, "Which store should I go to first to ask for the price?"

Xingxing already knew that Mrs. Wei was here to sell herbs, so she followed her example, looking left and then right.

Xing Xing seemed to have a clue and pointed to a clinic with a sign that read "Ren Hui Tang" and said, "Grandma, why don't we go there first?"

When Grandma Wei heard her most beloved granddaughter say this, she couldn't resist: "Okay, let's go to this house."

Before entering Renhui Hall, the little girl said to Grandma Wei with great piety: "Grandma, our herbs will definitely be sold at a high - high price."

Xing Xing stretched out her arms, trying to open them as wide as possible, and gestured to Mrs. Wei.

Mrs. Wei pulled Xingxing's little hair with some amusement.

This Burning Heart Grass is of the best quality. If it reaches the sky, it could be sold for a few dollars. But her Burning Heart Grass has been pecked by chickens and it doesn’t look very good anymore. How much taller can it be?

Unexpectedly, as soon as Mrs. Wei and Xing Xing stepped into Ren Huitang, a man breathing heavily rushed in from behind.

He kept shouting, "Our master fell off his horse and was badly injured, bleeding profusely! Shopkeeper, quickly bring us this excellent healing medicine!"

Shopkeeper Ren Huitang recognized that the man was a servant of the Hu family in the town. So the master he was referring to must be the master of the Hu family who was in charge of the cloth business in the town.

Shopkeeper Ren Huitang did not dare to delay and hurriedly took out the golden sore medicine that was always available in the store and handed it to the servant of the Hu family.

The Hu family servant could actually read. He glanced at the note on the medicine bottle and frowned, "These are common abscess medicines. My master has them all. We have tried them and they don't work! Is there anything better?"

When the shopkeeper Ren Huitang heard that none of these were effective, he frowned and said, "Sir, you know the situation in Mapo County. If we don't have it, you won't have it at other shops either—"

Ren Huitang, the shopkeeper, suddenly thought of something and added cautiously, "Unless someone else has the Heart-burning Herb! The Heart-burning Herb is a great herb for treating injuries and sprains! It also has a miraculous effect on persistent bleeding!"

The Hu family servant said angrily, "What are you still talking about? Hurry up and take out the Burning Heart Grass!"

Ren Huitang, the shopkeeper, said with a bitter face: "Customer, you know the weather in recent years. The burning heart grass is rare. It is rare to see one in a month! We don't have it here, and there is definitely no one across the street. You don't need to go!"

The Hu family servant angrily scolded: "Why are you wasting your time talking so much nonsense? If you delay our master's treatment, I will smash your stall!"

Having said that, he was about to leave.

Before Mrs. Wei could even react, Xing Xing had already spoken loudly: "Heart-burning grass, my grandma has heart-burning grass!"

At this moment, the shopkeeper Ren Huitang and the servant of the Hu family looked over at the same time, their eyes full of suspicion and scrutiny: "Kid, are you kidding? Do you really have it?"

Xing Xing tried to calm herself down and shook the still dazed Wei Pozi's hand: "Grandma, don't we have it?"

Mrs. Wei reacted quickly and took out the tightly wrapped Burning Heart Grass from her arms.

Ren Huitang, the shopkeeper, hurried forward to take a closer look. He was overjoyed when he saw it: "Yes, this is the Burning Heart Grass!"

The servants of the Hu family were all equally overjoyed and looked at Mrs. Wei eagerly: "Madam, are you selling this Burning Heart Grass?"

Mrs. Wei woke up as if from a dream and nodded repeatedly: "Sell, sell!"

After a while, Mrs. Wei led Xingxing out of Ren Huitang with a dazed look on her face and a shaky foot.

When the grandfather and grandson turned into a deserted alley, Mrs. Wei burst into laughter. She picked up Xingxing and smiled happily: "Oh, my good grandson! We are rich!"

Mrs. Wei originally thought that this not-so-good-quality Burning Heart Grass could be sold for a few dollars. However, she never expected that when she came to Ren Huitang, she would meet the eldest master of the Hu family who was injured and in urgent need. The servant of the Hu family directly gave her a large piece of silver. She weighed it and it was at least two taels!

Just that one plant of Burning Heart Grass could actually be sold for two taels of silver!

Two taels!

When Mrs. Wei thought about this number, her whole body trembled!

Xingxing was infected by Mrs. Wei's happiness, and she also became very happy, giggling non-stop!

The grandfather and grandson hugged each other and laughed for a long time.

In this famine year, two taels of silver is not a small amount!

Buy some brown rice and mix it with some wild vegetables, it will be enough for the whole family to eat for most of half a year!

By then, the new grain from the fields will be harvested. After they sell the new grain, they will have money to buy coarse grains!

Mrs. Wei was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling.

Xingxing was even more ambitious. She had already memorized the appearance of the herb. When she returned, she would go to the village to find the burning heart grass, sell it for money, and make her grandmother happy!

"Good Xingxing, grandma was stunned at that time. If you hadn't called out, we would have missed the money!" Grandma Wei was beaming with joy and waved her hand generously, "Good Xingxing, whatever you want to buy, grandma will buy it for you!"

Mrs. Wei deeply felt that Xingxing was the lucky star of their Yu family!

Xingxing shook her head like a wave drum: "Xingxing just ate Tanghulu, I don't want anything else!" She hooked the little finger of Grandma Wei and laughed very contentedly, "Seeing grandma happy, Xingxing is also very happy!"

Mrs. Wei's heart is about to melt!

She thought about it for a while and decided: "Since the Burning Heart Herb is sold at a good price today because of Xingxing, then let me buy Xingxing a pretty little hair comb!"

Xing Xing's round eyes lit up instantly, but after thinking about it, she became a little hesitant and asked Mrs. Wei timidly: "Grandma, is my hair combed expensive?"

The elder sister of my next-door neighbor went out to visit someone once, and her mother put an extremely delicate and beautiful comb in her hair, which looked so beautiful.

Xingxing liked him the moment she saw him that day. She would sometimes lie on the fence and secretly watch the neighbor's sister when she was working in the yard.

She didn't expect that her grandmother could also see it!

Mrs. Wei kissed Xingxing's little face hard: "It's not expensive! It's what our Xingxing deserves!"

Xingxing was extremely happy, and her big, round eyes seemed to be filled with the entire galaxy.

Mrs. Wei took Xingxing's hand and spent twenty cents to buy her a small hair comb with red velvet flowers.

The small hair comb is made of copper-clad wood, which is not a precious material, but it is made extremely beautifully and exquisitely. It is small and delicate, and feels very textured when held in the hand.

Mrs. Wei solemnly pinned the small hair comb on Xingxing's hair.

However, Xingxing's hair was too sparse, and the small comb couldn't hold it, so it fell down.

Mrs. Wei was afraid that Xingxing would be unhappy, but she didn't expect the little girl to hold the small hairbrush and laugh foolishly again: "When Xingxing grows up and has more hair, she can wear it!"

Mrs. Wei felt relieved and said repeatedly, "Yes, when Xingxing has more hair, she can wear it!"

The grandfather and grandson looked at each other and laughed happily.

All of this was watched dumbly by Brother Ju who was standing in a corner of the alley.

Just now on the street, he saw Mrs. Wei at a glance through many people and thought that Mrs. Wei was here to pick him up.

Ju Ge'er ran towards Mrs. Wei in a frenzy - although children hold grudges, they also have a short memory. He had only stayed at his grandmother's house for two or three days and had already forgotten about Mrs. Wei's hostility towards him. When he saw Mrs. Wei now, he just wanted to act coquettishly in her arms.

But before Ju Ge'er ran in, he found that grandma seemed to like Xing Xing so much.

Brother Ju was stunned and stayed where he was.

It was Xingxing again. Although she held her little hairbrush tightly in her hand and couldn't let it go, she always felt as if someone was watching them.

Xing Xing looked around in confusion and immediately spotted Ju Ge'er standing behind the stall, staring blankly in the direction of her and her grandmother.

Xing Xing didn't think much about it and shouted in surprise: "Grandma, it's Ju Ge'er!"

When Mrs. Wei suddenly saw her little grandson, she was also delighted: "Brother Ju!"

Mrs. Wei looked around and didn't see the adult who brought Ju Ge'er out, so she couldn't help but frowned: "Why are you the only one here?"

There are so many people in the market, and Ju Ge'er is just a four-year-old child. The Su family is really outrageous. How could they let such a small child go out alone!

Aren't you afraid of being kidnapped?!
