Chapter 178 Everyone usually calls me Osmanthus
Now that she heard that the other party could help her child with his illness, she immediately overcame her fear.
The woman knelt down in front of He Zhiran and said, "Please, young lady, save my daughter."
He Zhiran quickly helped the man up.
"It's no problem to save your child, as long as sister-in-law is willing to answer some of my questions."
The woman nodded vigorously: "Okay, ask!"
"Excuse me, sister-in-law, what is the relationship between the Zhou, Zhao, and Cui families?"
Hearing this question, the woman seemed a little nervous.
After looking around for a while, she whispered:
"Young lady, you just arrived in Xiling Village yesterday and you offended Cui Lizheng. He sent people to inform the Zhao and Zhou families that night not to have anything to do with you."
He Zhiran frowned: "What will happen if he is involved?"
The woman sighed and said, "A few years ago, an uncle of my family felt sorry for the people sent here by the government and secretly gave them some dry food. The Cui family found out and told the head of the village.
Cui Lizheng brought a group of people and almost broke my uncle's legs."
He Zhiran took a deep breath after hearing this.
"A small village head is so overbearing. He bullies people so indiscriminately, and you won't resist?"
The woman shook her head helplessly: "The Cui family has a relative who is the county magistrate. How dare we ordinary people offend him?"
He Zhiran asked again: "What about the relationship between the Zhao, Jiang, and Cui families?"
"On the surface, the Zhao and Zhou families can get along well with the Cui family, but secretly, we all hate the Cui family."
After listening to the woman's story, He Zhiran knew clearly that if he wanted to rent the house from the Zhao and Zhou families, the first thing he had to do was to intimidate Cui Lizheng. Otherwise, these two families would definitely not have the courage to rent the house to them.
He Zhiran had learned almost everything he wanted to know, and he kept his promise to help the child get treated.
She first touched the baby's forehead and determined from experience that the temperature was at least 39 degrees.
After He Zhiran took the little girl's pulse again, he was completely sure that she had caught a cold.
The little kid was probably running a high fever for too long and had no energy at the moment. Even when her cold hand touched his forehead, he didn't react much.
In such cases, intravenous infusion is the best treatment.
However, He Zhiran could not use injections for treatment openly.
As a second best option, we can only choose drug treatment.
Her consciousness entered the space, and she selected several suitable children's medicines in the pharmacy of the infirmary, changed them into oil-paper packaging, and then took them out from the space under the cover of her sleeves.
She handed the woman several medicine packets and carefully explained how to take them.
"Sister-in-law, this is a fever-reducing medicine. Feed it to the child as soon as you get home. Also, this is medicine for treating the child's red and swollen throat. This is medicine for treating typhoid fever. Take it half an hour after the fever-reducing medicine.
Also, we are temporarily living at the foot of the mountain. If the child is not well, you can come to find me there."
The woman clenched the medicine bags in her hands and knelt down again in front of He Zhiran.
"Thank you for the medicine, doctor. My maiden name is Zhou, and I married into the Zhao family. Everyone usually calls me Osmanthus."
He Zhiran quickly helped the person up: "Sister Guihua, you're welcome. We are all from the same village from now on. It's only natural for us to help each other."
Guihua thanked him again before she quickly ran home with the child in her arms.
Mo Jiuye and others saw the conversation between the two, and they thought the same as He Zhiran.
Under the current circumstances, if the Cui family's arrogance is not suppressed, there is no chance of renting a house from the Zhou and Zhao families.
Xie Tianhai and Fang Chuanzhou were both a little angry at this moment.
"Niece-in-law, I'm going to the Cui family to argue with them."
He Zhiran did not stop him, but she did not want to go with him.
The reason is simple. The Cui family suffered a loss at their hands yesterday. Li Zheng Cui must have gone to the city to find County Magistrate Cui to file a complaint early in the morning. Even if you go to the Cui family at this time, you won't see Li Zheng Cui.
Although I can't see Cui Lizheng, it's good to make some trouble and upset them.
Mo Jiuye also knew this was the truth. He looked at his two uncles, both of whom were weak scholars, and worried that they would suffer losses, so he reminded them:
"Uncles, the Cui family is large and powerful. If you two go there, you might suffer a loss. It's better to go back and call a few more people to go with you."
Listening to the words and the tone, Xie Tianhai was a little puzzled: "Nephew, don't you plan to follow us?"
Mo Jiuye looked at the sky and said:
"Originally, my wife and I planned to go into town to buy some medicinal herbs today. We thought it wouldn't take long to find a place to stay, so we came along.
If we go to the Cui family to argue, it will probably take a long time, and then we won’t be able to enter the city in time.”
Xie Tianhai nodded: "My dear nephew and niece-in-law, please go and do what you want. We will go and call the family to follow us to Cui's house to argue."
Mo Jiuye and He Zhiran thought that even if Cui Lizheng was not at home, it would be good for them to go and make some trouble. At least it would let the Cui family know that they were not easy to bully.
In order to prevent being harassed by Fantuaner again, He Zhiran chose to wait where he was, and Mo Jiuye went back alone to get the mule cart.
Soon, he drove the mule cart back, and after He Zhiran sat down, the mule cart started running.
The road to the city is not very close, and the villagers of Xiling Village used to ride in the Cui family's ox carts.
However, today there were no ox carts waiting at the village entrance to pick up passengers.
The reason was simple. At dawn, Cui Lizheng had someone take him in a ox cart to find Cui Xiancheng to file a complaint.
Just as the villagers were sighing and complaining, they looked up and saw a mule cart coming from the distance.
The villagers didn't know who the owner of the mule cart was, they just thought that someone from the Cui family had bought another mule cart.
Someone strode forward and blocked the way of Mo Jiuye and He Zhiran.
The mule cart was forced to stop, and the villagers could see clearly that the driver was a stranger.
Although the people from the Zhao and Zhou families did not recognize the two men, they had heard that the government had sent a new group of exiles yesterday.
At this point, they could roughly guess the identities of the two people.
The Zhao and Zhou families quickly retreated, looking as if they were avoiding some ferocious beast.
He Zhiran and Mo Jiuye did not find this strange, as they had just learned the general situation from Guihua.
Seeing the villagers make way for him, Mo Jiuye drove the mule cart as if they were not paying any attention and continued on his way.
Just then, one of the villagers ran out.
The man was dressed like a scholar, holding a schoolbag made of coarse cloth in his hand.
He clasped his fists towards Mo Jiuye somewhat embarrassedly.
"Big Brother, I'm in a hurry to go to school. Would it be convenient for you to give me a ride?"
As soon as the scholar finished speaking, someone caught up with him.
"Zechuan, come back here."
Zhao Zechuan glanced back at the newcomer and said, "Brother, you're afraid of the Cui family, but I'm not. We're all the same villagers, so why should we let the Cui family dominate us?"
