Su Nanxi handed over a small cloth bag. "There are medicines for treating injuries inside. The red bottle is for promoting blood circulation, removing blood stasis, and relieving pain, while the blue bottle is for reducing swelling and promoting healing. They are all for oral use, one pill at a time, three times a day. You might need them. Keep them handy!"
With tears blurring her vision and her voice choked with emotion, Zhao said, "Thank you, mute mother!"
Su Nanxi stuffed the small cloth bag into her hand, "No need to thank me! We're all family! Oh, and take this with you too. Drink this first when you get there. It's good stuff, remember to drink it! That's all I can do to help."
Zhao suddenly realized she was being too dramatic. Why was she crying in front of a little girl? She wiped away her tears and said, "You've already helped me so much. I've taken everything with me. The things you gave me must be good!"
Before Su Nanxi could say anything more, Old Madam Mo and Madam Qin rushed over, carrying a bunch of small bags and packages.
"Stop standing there! Hurry up and fetch the oxcart!" Old Mrs. Mo shouted at Mo Lao Er.
He turned to Zhao and gave her various instructions, even slipping her some silver. Finally, he told Zhao to pick up a set of clothes, as he didn't know what the situation would be like or when she would return, so he suggested she take the clothes with her for convenience.
Qin helped load the things onto the oxcart, and Mo Laoda helped adjust the oxcart.
Old Lady Mo didn't let Zhao Shi ride the donkey cart back, mainly because Su Nanxi needed to take Gao Yuling back the next day and would need the donkey cart.
Another thing is that Old Mrs. Mo felt that Su Nanxi really liked donkey carts and always drove them when she went out. Subconsciously, she regarded the donkey cart as Su Nanxi's personal property and didn't dare to ask about it.
Zhao felt like she was visiting her parents' home for the New Year. All these big and small bags were only for the New Year.
To be honest, in the past, we wouldn't have taken so many things home for the New Year. It's only now that the Mo family is doing well that we have the financial means to do so.
Zhao sighed with mixed feelings and left in an oxcart with Mo Lao Er.
As they were leaving at the gate, Old Lady Mo pulled Zhao aside and whispered, "You must keep the things that the mute woman gave you safe. They are all good things! Just do as she tells you to do, and you won't go wrong! But don't tell anyone that the mute woman gave them to you. Just say that you bought them on your own. Do you understand?"
Zhao nodded and said she remembered, and only then did Old Lady Mo let go of her hand, wave her hand, and tell them to leave quickly.
The child didn't go with us, since it wasn't a visit to relatives.
Not long after, the village chief came looking for them.
The village chief's purpose was obvious: to ask Su Nanxi if she was satisfied with the punishment of Liu Dashui, and then to ask her what small businesses she could still do, as her youngest son, Liu Xuming, also wanted to do some.
Su Nanxi had no objection to Liu Dashui's punishment, since it was the unanimous demand of everyone, and she couldn't very well object. However, if she was dissatisfied, she could teach him a lesson in private.
When asked about small businesses, Su Nanxi knew the village chief wanted to know about franchise stores. "Now that the weather is getting hotter, people don't have much of an appetite and like to drink something cold and refreshing. If you want to do business, a cool drink shop is a good option!"
The village chief had the same idea; he just wanted to hear what Su Nanxi had to say, as if listening to her would provide him with some assurance!
Even if he analyzed it a lot and thought it was feasible, he still felt uneasy if he didn't ask Su Nanxi, so he had to come and ask her!
Mo Qinghe spoke up calmly from the side, "This business is feasible. The investment doesn't need to be too much, and the profits won't be small! If you're short on money, you can start with a small shop."
After saying that, he turned to Su Nanxi and asked, "Wife, am I right?"
Su Nanxi nodded, "Yes! That's it! This is great. If you want to do it, hurry up. I heard that Qingliang Shop is recruiting franchisees now. You know, if you go too late, you might not be able to get a good location."
Village Chief Liu agreed wholeheartedly and also became worried. It was all his fault for thinking about it for so long and not being able to make a decision. If he didn't get a good position, his youngest son would have to go far away.
Oh! I should have asked the mute woman sooner!
No way! He's going to finalize it tomorrow!
The eldest son's shop is close to home and does very good business, making a lot of money. He can't favor one over the other, so he has to do his best to find a good business for the younger son as well!
Sigh! It's all my youngest son's fault for being so fickle. One minute he thinks this is easy to do, the next he thinks that makes money, and then he thinks this is too easy!
He finally gave his son a severe scolding and analyzed the situation for him. Only then did his youngest son begin to think things through and ultimately choose to franchise a dessert shop.
That's why Village Chief Liu came here seeking a sense of security!
Village Chief Liu returned home happily, which made Su Nanxi think about a question: Should the Mo family rent a shop to sell breakfast?
Having a fixed shop is definitely much better than moving around so much now; at least it won't be so tiring!
Mo Qinghe also saw through Su Nanxi's thoughts, "Wife, do you want to rent a shop?"
Su Nanxi nodded, "Yes, that's the idea, but in the end it depends on everyone's opinion."
Mo Qinghe understood, "Let's discuss this properly when my second brother and sister-in-law return!"
That's the only way.
Su Nanxi thought that if she did as she was told, she should not die; at least there was still a chance to be saved.
She doesn't know anything about medicine, so that's all she can do to help.
Before the sun began to set, Su Nanxi took a bunch of children to wander around the cornfield. Mo Qinghe wanted to go too, but Old Man Xu simply said he would teach them as they walked.
Even Old Xu himself probably doesn't believe this. He also wants to go to the cornfield, but he needs to find a good excuse!
How could a trip to the cornfield be complete without Gao Yuling? She was keeping watch, knowing that Su Nanxi usually went out in the afternoon, and her basket was already packed!
The group set off in a grand procession, winding their way along the country lanes, their uniform attire of carrying baskets on their backs creating a striking scene.
The Liang brothers were still in the cornfield. They had said they would patrol for half a day and hadn't returned yet. Just as they were wondering if the Mo family would come, they saw a group of people walking towards them from afar.
"Brother! The Mo family is here! The one in front is the mute woman!" Liang Qiao said happily to Liang An.
Liang An had just sat down to rest when he heard this, so he immediately stood up, craned his neck to look into the distance, and said, "Yes! They must be here to see the corn! Let's hurry down."
Su Nanxi naturally saw the two of them coming down from the high ground, rushing around as if they were in a hurry and excited. Tsk! Hope they don't fall and tumble down!
They're just checking on the corn; there's no need to be so nervous or worried!
As soon as they arrived at the cornfield, the children scattered to check, as Su Nanxi had instructed, to see if any corn husks had been broken off.
Mo Dongcheng was the youngest, but he worked very hard, holding his head high and carefully examining each tree, not being careless at all.
His parents had said that the Mo family did not support lazy people; if someone was lazy and unwilling to work, they would not even get to eat!
He has to be more diligent. Jiaxing is hardworking and diligent, and everyone in the family praises him. He also wants to be praised!
After checking them over, Su Nanxi affirmed the brothers' performance.
"Do we need to come again tomorrow?"
