Chapter 44: Play



They don't expect everyone in the village to be able to afford the herbs, but as long as one family pays to buy enough for one person from them, they can still earn a considerable amount of money.

At least it makes money faster than picking herbs and selling them.

If you want people to buy the herbs, you have to let the villagers know that you are "sick".

So there was this play by Lin Anji.

However, it seems that this play was not performed well.

Lin Anji touched his head and felt a little distressed!

He felt it was unreliable at first. Who would believe that a six-year-old girl was a doctor?

He was having all sorts of wild thoughts and was struggling internally. By dawn he hadn't made up his mind whether to agree to his third brother's request.

The final decision to perform this play was made after seeing the insect in his son's hand.

Although he still felt that this play was unreliable, in order to pay back his son's medicine money and to repay his third brother's favor, he had to bite the bullet and continue acting.

“Hey!”

Lin Anji patted his butt and prepared to go home. He would speed up the preparations for the new home in the next few days and take his wife and children to open up the wasteland.

"Why are you still here?"

Lin Anji, who was lost in thought, didn't even look up until he bumped into someone and realized that the villager was not exposed.

Mr. Li slowed down his staggering body and said, "I'm going to ask your niece for some medicine."

As long as the medicine works, he doesn't care whether the doctor is male or female, old or young.

Mr. Li has a small family and his only daily worry is the population. He is not short of money, after all, fewer people means less expenses.

Unlike many other families in the village, the expenses on food and clothing alone are ridiculously high.

Anyway, he can still afford the money to buy the medicine, as long as the medicine is effective.

As for the fact that the medicine had no effect after taking it, we are all from the same village, so asking for the money back is just a small matter.

Lin Ping'an, who was standing by, nodded in agreement. He was also buying medicine.

The nice guy was no longer a nice guy after his wife made trouble for him once. All the money in his pocket, except for daily expenses, was kept in his pocket.

There was some extra food in the bag, and he felt uncomfortable all over.

He thought of his wife scolding him, saying that all the money he worked so hard to earn went into other people's stomachs, and he was reluctant to spend a penny on his own children, living like a child without a father.

Lin Ping'an touched the copper coins in his pocket. This time he spent all of them on his son. His wife should praise him!

There is another person following behind these two people, that is Liu Po.

Liu Po ​​didn't say anything. She had no intention of buying medicine. She just wanted to watch the fun.

As the number one gossipmonger, of course I go wherever there's excitement, and I can't miss out on the first-hand information.

Lin Anji's eyes lit up when he heard this and he looked at the two of them with a strange light in his eyes.

Lin Ping'an and Li Erye were trembling with fear at the sight.

Lin Pingan/Mr. Li: Does the Lin family boss want to eat me? My mouth is watering.

Lin Anji didn't know what was going on in their minds, so he said enthusiastically, "If you two want to buy medicine, follow me. Follow me."

He didn't count Liu Po ​​in the group. They were all from the same village, so how could he not know who Liu Po ​​was? She didn't say anything, probably just to join in the fun.

Lin Anji led everyone home, and turned back from time to time to see if they were following him, for fear that they had run away.

He can get twenty cents for selling two doses of medicine. If he is not more enthusiastic and does not keep a close eye on it, what will happen if his money disappears?

Lin Ping'an and Li Erye, who originally didn't feel anything, almost wanted to turn around and go home because of his frequent glances back.

The Lin family's toilet was not far from the old house. While the two were struggling over whether to go home, they arrived at the third room of the Lin family.

Now that you are here, let’s take a look first.

The two of them stopped hesitating and explained their purpose to Lin Anru.

"Are you going to get medicine for yourselves?" Lin Shiyu asked.

Both of them shook their heads.

Mr. Li: "I'm buying medicine for my grandson."

Lin Pingan: "I came here for my boy."

"I'm not getting medicine for myself. You need to bring the patient here so I can take his pulse." Lin Shiyu explained, "I need to take his pulse first to confirm the condition before I can determine the dosage."

The two of them paused after hearing this, then turned around and went home.

A little kid of six or seven said he wanted to take my pulse. How bizarre!

"Leaving now? Not buying medicine?"

Lin Anji looked at the two people leaving, then turned to look at Lin Anru with some disappointment.

The cooked duck flew away, and his money was gone.

He really wanted to tell his niece that it would be enough to just prescribe medicine, there was no need to take his pulse!

But when he put himself in the shoes of Mr. Li and Lin Ping'an, he would not place his hopes on a six-year-old child unless it was absolutely necessary.

Thinking this way, no matter how many words I have in my heart, I can only keep them in my heart.

"Sixth Aunt, why don't you leave?"

When Lin Anji was about to return to his room, he found that Liu Po ​​was still standing there, and he couldn't help but look at her hopefully.

"I'm old now, and I get tired after just a few steps. Let's go back slowly."

After saying that, she sat down on the ground and looked very tired.

Shaking his head in disappointment, Lin Anji walked back to the room while thinking about which piece of land would be easier to reclaim.

When Liu entered the room, she was tripped by Liu Po: "Liu Po, why are you sitting here? I almost burned you."

Grandma Liu retracted her foot and looked up at Liu, the bowl in her hand. She sniffed and stood up swiftly.

Before Liu could react, he snatched the bowl from her hand.

"Is this the medicine to kill the worms in my stomach?"

"Hey, Aunt Liu, be careful, don't burn yourself."

Liu reached out and gave the medicine back.

This medicine has just been poured out of the pot and is still hot. It can burn a person's skin off.

"Don't worry, I'm being careful. Is this the medicine?"

Liu Po ​​reached out her hand again, but Liu turned her body and didn't let her touch it. Instead, she put the medicine on the table to cool.

"It's the medicine you were thinking of."

"Who is this drink for?"

It looked black and no different from ordinary medicine. Anyway, Liu Po ​​couldn't tell what was inside, so she didn't force herself to take the bowl to take a look.

"Who else could it be? It's that boy of ours." Liu showed a look of heartache: "The child is sensible and has been enduring his discomfort. If his sister hadn't noticed something was wrong, who knows how long he would have kept it a secret from us adults!"

Liu Po ​​repeatedly looked at the expression on Liu's face, trying to see if she would have the same acting expression as Lin Anji.

I don’t know if it was because what Liu said was true or because her acting was so good, but Liu Po ​​didn’t notice any trace at all.

"Your Lin family is so unlucky. One child after another falls ill."
