Chapter 48 Taking Medicine on Time



This was the first time Chen Qingqing had ever seen such a bizarre family. Father and son frequented brothels together, both liked the same woman, and what was even more bizarre was that they could even discuss taking turns playing with her. Truly, the world is full of wonders.

A flash of disgust crossed her eyes, but she suppressed her nausea and spoke softly.

"One liter is enough; take one bowl each in the morning, noon, and evening."

Fan Tong grimaced upon hearing this, "Drinking urine three times a day, that's really going to be tough!"

"Master Fan, have you forgotten what it feels like to be itchy? If you want to completely cure your umbilical cord infection..."

You must drink this medicine on time and in the prescribed doses. Then you will receive three more acupuncture treatments to ensure that your chronic illness will never recur.

"But if you don't listen to me, even a god can't save you." Chen Qingqing said with a serious expression, using a mix of threats and threats.

Fan Tong said with a bitter face, "How could I forget that? When it itched, it felt like ants crawling between my bones. It was so painful that I felt like I wanted to die. I would have drunk my own urine every day if I could get rid of it completely."

Chen Qingqing lowered her head slightly, concealing the smile in her eyes, "In that case, Master Fan, please order someone to make preparations!"

"Very well, I guarantee it won't be a single bit off." Fan Tong's stomach was no longer itchy, and he felt relaxed all over. He waved his hand happily, "Steward Shi, hurry up and prepare the reward money. I want to thank Miss Chen properly."

"Yes, sir, I'll go prepare it right away." Shi Taishou turned and went out, and soon came back in carrying a tray. "Sir, please take a look."

“Good, not bad.” Fan Tong put on a generous appearance. “Miss Chen, please accept this hundred coins as a token of my appreciation.”

Chen Qingqing glanced at the copper coins on the tray. The miser was indeed stingy. He was so stingy that he only spent one hundred coins on such a large fortune. He was really obsessed with money.

It seems she guessed right. She secretly rejoiced that she hadn't managed to get rid of all the lice in one go, otherwise she would have definitely refused to pay.

"Master Fan, I appreciate your kindness, but I'll pass on the tip. If you're sincere, please settle the twenty taels for the consultation fee!"

Fan Tong was stunned. Twenty taels of silver for just a few pricks with a needle? This money was too easy to earn!

Anyway, it doesn't itch anymore, and she's already prescribed the medicine, so why should I pay her?

Doctors are always good at making things mysterious. If she says she needs acupuncture three times, she's definitely lying to herself. Once the itching stops, who will need her?

“This…” Fan Tong glanced at Shi Taishou.

Shi Taishou chuckled knowingly, "Miss Chen, please don't be so polite. This hundred coins is a token of my master's goodwill; you must accept it."

As for the twenty taels of silver, rest assured, once my master is fully cured, I guarantee to hand it over in full, without missing a single coin.

Chen Qingqing didn't miss the exchange of glances between the two. The system's prompt was indeed correct; it seemed that the Fan family was really going to renege on their promise.

She sneered inwardly, "You still have several fat lice in your belly button. Those things have a very strong reproductive ability. If you don't come to invite me in three days, hmph!"

Knowing that further discussion was pointless, and that the family was now out of food, he decided to take the hundred coins to town to buy some food to tide them over.

She took the hundred coins and said expressionlessly, "Alright, then thank you for the reward, Master Fan. Remember to brew the medicine as I instructed. If you don't drink it or drink less, you'll have to bear the consequences yourself."

Fan Tong beamed, "Good, good, Miss Chen, don't worry, I promise to drink my urine on time, no, no, I mean, take my medicine on time."

"Then I won't bother you any longer, goodbye."

"Miss Chen, I'll send someone to take you back."

"Alright, thank you very much, Master Fan. However, I would like to go to the market to buy some things. Please have the coachman come with me to the grain store!"

"No problem, the poop smells too bad, quickly prepare a car for Miss Chen."

"Yes, sir." Shi Taishou gestured for Chen Qingqing to leave the Fan residence.

Fan Hun watched Chen Qingqing leave with all his might, feeling reluctant to let her go. "Father, I really like this Miss Chen. Why did you let her leave like this? Wouldn't it have been better if she stayed and became my concubine?"

Fan Tong glared at him fiercely, "Quickly give up that idea. Father likes pretty girls too. If you become a concubine, it's for Father anyway. You'd better step aside!"

"Alright, Father, I'll send it to you first." Although Fan Hun was muddle-headed, he didn't dare to disobey Fan Tong.

......

Chen Qingqing held the hundred coins in her hand and smiled bitterly. Making money was really too difficult.

She estimated that Fan Tong would not come to her for treatment in three days. That was fine; if he didn't suffer a little, how would he learn his lesson?

She smirked. "Fan Tong, you think you're so clever, but you never expected I had a trick up my sleeve. Now you can enjoy this ticklish feeling!"

If you invite me next time, I definitely won't be lenient.

As Chen Qingqing stepped out of the Fan residence, she thought of her parents' worried eyes and decided to hurry home after buying the rice.

We arrived at the grain shop.

Rice costs 20 coins per liter, millet costs 5 coins per liter, and wheat flour costs 15 coins per liter.

Chen Qingqing knew that one liter was roughly equivalent to two jin of rice in modern times.

I figured that if I could only buy ten jin of rice, it would only last five or six days, which was too little.

My parents are worried about food every day. If we only buy rice, they won't feel at ease. It would be better to buy more millet.

After all, having rice at home gives you peace of mind!

With this in mind, she gritted her teeth and bought fifteen liters of millet, and used the remaining twenty-five coins to buy a pound of pork.

After all, Chen Han is at the age where he is growing, so it's good to occasionally improve his diet to give him some extra nutrition.

Looking at the contents of the carriage, she shook her head and smiled; her hundred coins had been spent so quickly.

Touching the ring on his hand, he thought, "System, system, I just played a prank on Fan Tong. Is there a reward?"

A ding sounded, "Host, don't worry, everything is preordained, what is meant for you will come sooner or later."

Chen Qingqing was extremely frustrated. "Oh, all-powerful ring, are you really better than Aladdin's Ghost Lantern?"

"Ding~~ Please do not doubt my abilities, host."

"Okay, I hope you won't disappoint me."

......

Nanshan Village.

Mr. and Mrs. Chen were extremely anxious and restless, worried about their daughter.

I wonder how Qingya is doing now? What if Master Fan is not a good person?

With tears in her eyes, Lin said, "Zhanshan, why hasn't Qingya come back yet? I'm a little worried."

Chen Zhanshan shook his head and sighed, "Let's wait a little longer. Didn't the village head just say that our Qing girl isn't someone who doesn't know her place? He told us to wait at home and not to worry."

Lin's eyes were red. Her daughter was not only incapable of treating patients, but she also barely recognized any herbs. Taking the notice to the Fan residence was tantamount to walking into a trap.

"Honey, do you think Qing'er is going crazy? How would she know how to treat illnesses? Isn't this just ridiculous?"

"Don't worry, if Qingya doesn't come back before dark, I'll go find the village head, and then we'll go to the Fan family to ask for her back," Chen Zhanshan comforted her.
