Chapter 181: Homecoming
Medical clinic.
Doctor Wei took Tang Yichen's pulse, looked at his face, and said, "Young man, have you often stayed up late to read books recently?"
Tang Yichen: “…”
Tang Yi smiled and said, "Brother, you have to take care of yourself."
"Doctor, is my son okay?" Tang Dafu asked.
"A little worse than you."
"Better than me?" Tang Dafu was shocked. "My leg injury is so serious, and he is worse than me. How bad is that?"
"You can eat and sleep, talk in your sleep and call your wife. He has caught a cold and has tasted nothing in the past few days. Isn't he a little worse than you?"
Everyone in the Tang family: "..."
They finally realized that Doctor Wei was just a naughty boy who liked to play tricks on others.
"Brother, come back with me and stay for a few days. It will be a good opportunity for you to recuperate. I think with your ability, there is no need to put so much pressure on yourself. Just think of it as a way to relax your mental state before the exam."
Tang Yichen didn't understand what Qin Huiyin meant by "mental state", but he understood one thing, which was that he should relax during this period of time and not push himself too hard.
"Okay, I'll listen to you."
"We'll pack a few sets of clothes to take back later, but don't take anything else. You'll have to come back to study after the science exam, and it'll be troublesome to move things around."
Doctor Wei prescribed medicine for Tang Yichen. Because they were his apprentice's family, he waived the consultation fee and only charged for the medicine.
When Qin Huiyin paid the money, she asked about Tang Yixiao's study. When Tang Yixiao was mentioned, Doctor Wei became excited.
"This kid is a natural born doctor. His sense of smell and taste are the best I have ever seen. As long as he learns from me, he will become a world-famous doctor in time."
Doctor Wei's handsome face turned red, his eyes widened, and his expression was extremely excited. If there were no pyramid schemes in ancient times, Qin Huiyin would have wanted to report the case to the police.
Tang Yi smiled shyly and murmured, "Master, stop talking."
"Why don't you say it? It's true that you have talent, but talent alone is not enough. You have to study hard. I asked you to memorize the Pharmacopoeia a few days ago, but you only memorized half of it after several days. When will you be able to recite it backwards?" Doctor Wei said seriously, "Your father's legs are almost gone. This time, let your sister take your father and your eldest brother away. No one will disturb you in the future, and you can recite the book with peace of mind."
Tang Dafu: “…”
He might as well just say that his presence affected Xiaoge'er's studies.
"My legs still hurt." Tang Dafu was dissatisfied. "You said before that you would go back when I was well. Now I am not well yet. If something goes wrong when I go back, will you still take responsibility?"
"Don't you miss your wife anymore? Your wife is so beautiful, many people must be thinking about her, right?" Doctor Wei said slowly.
Tang Dafu: "...I have nothing to do here anyway. It's boring to lie here all day. I can walk around now, so I'll go back and take care of it!"
Qin Huiyin and Tang Yichen brothers: "..."
It's really unbearable to watch.
After getting the medicine, Qin Huiyin borrowed the medicine stove to boil some medicine for Tang Yichen to reduce his fever first.
Seeing that it was getting late, they had to hurry back. They said goodbye to Doctor Wei and Tang Yi with a smile, and left in the ox cart and on the mule.
Tang Dafu waved the whip and drove the ox cart excitedly.
"Uncle Tang, don't hit it so hard. This old ox is old and can't walk fast." Qin Huiyin said, "By the way, stop at the fork in the road ahead. I want to go to my aunt's house."
"What are you doing at his house?" Tang Dafu frowned. "I'm not at home. Was she bullied by Deng Gui again?"
"It's not a big deal. It's been resolved anyway. If you want to know anything, go back and ask my mother. You also want to talk more with my mother, right?" Qin Huiyin said.
"That's right." Tang Dafu was happy again.
"How are you going to get to their village?"
"Ride a mule!" Qin Huiyin said, "A mule is faster than an ox cart. Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."
"I'm worried." Tang Yichen refused, "I'll go with you."
"You are so sick, don't make things worse." Zhang Dazhu said, "I will accompany Sister Huiyin for a walk."
"Brother Dazhu, thank you for your help." Tang Yichen said, "The people of the Deng family are unreasonable. I am worried that Yinyin will suffer if she faces them alone. If you are with her to take care of her, they won't dare to do that."
"Sister Huiyin is my benefactor. I will definitely take good care of her, don't worry!" Zhang Dazhu patted his chest and assured.
Carpenter Zhang gave the mule to Qin Huiyin. Qin Huiyin and Zhang Dazhu each rode a mule and left separately from the others.
Mules are more docile than donkeys, faster than cows, and more endurant than horses. They are the best partners for them. However, it was Qin Huiyin's first time riding a mule. Although she was not thrown off, she did not dare to go too fast.
Before I even reached Deng's house, I heard the noise coming from there.
"Tell me the truth, where did that little girl go?" Old Lady Deng's voice came over.
"Shaoyao really went to inquire about the news of Da Niu and Er Niu." Tang Caiyun said fearfully, "Mom, Shaoyao is my only daughter left. Please don't sell her. I beg you."
"Your man owes the gambling house ten taels of silver. If he doesn't pay it back, they will chop off his hands." Old Lady Deng sneered, "Besides, which girl in Baihua Pavilion doesn't have a good life? We have already agreed with Baihua Pavilion's mother that we will sell Shaoyao for ten taels of silver, and Baihua Pavilion's mother will train her to sing. When she grows up, she can be a geisha and won't have to serve men anymore."
"Although I am stupid, I also know that I have no right to speak once I enter a place like that. If you want to force Shaoyao, just kill me first." Tang Caiyun burst into tears.
"Do you think I don't dare?" Deng Gui rushed out. "If I can't survive, you can't survive either. Others raise chickens and they lay eggs, but you can't even lay a penis. I've been fed up with you for a long time. You cry and you look sad all day long, as if your parents have died. You've brought bad luck upon me, so I can't win."
Zhang Dazhu was so angry when he heard the curses inside: "They are really going too far."
"Brother Dazhu, there's no need to be angry for them. My little aunt is a tortoise. She doesn't feel anything when she hears words that would make others angry. None of us can save her unless she saves herself."
Qin Huiyin knocked on the gate: "Aunt, I'm Yinyin, are you in there?"
The cursing inside stopped.
After a while, Tang Caiyun opened the door with red eyes and forced a smile that was uglier than crying: "Yinyin, why are you here? Come in and sit down."
"No need, I just came to pass on a message." Qin Huiyin said, "Cousin Shaoyao has entered the county government office and is now the head maidservant of the county magistrate's son."
