Li Erlang: "What on earth is this potato? I've never heard of it before!"
Li Yan explained: "Dad, these potatoes are also called ground eggs. They are a very filling food. Moreover, they have a high yield and are not very demanding on the land."
Li Erlang: "How do you know this thing is in the south?"
Li Yan had no choice but to use the things that happened in her dreams when she was sick as an excuse.
These days, my daughter knows a lot and makes real money.
But this time, Li Erlang was hesitant about letting his daughter go to the south alone. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Let's put this matter on hold for now. Let me think about it carefully and wait until your uncle comes!"
Li Yan couldn't help but feel disappointed when she heard Li Erlang say this. Li Yan knew that going south was not an easy thing, but she didn't expect that her parents would not agree as soon as she said it.
Li Erlang looked at his daughter, who looked lost, and patted Li Yan's head. "Dad believes what you said. I will ask for leave from the county magistrate and accompany you. Only then can I feel at ease."
Li Yan shook her head repeatedly: "Dad, Mom is pregnant right now. You and I have gone to the South. I don't know how worried she is at home!"
Until Li Xiaomei came to call them to eat, neither the father nor the daughter could convince the other.
This matter was put on hold until Lin Feng returned.
The next day, Li Yan asked Li Xiaomei to accompany her to the town. She also needed to buy some pots and pans for the newly built house.
When the two entered the city gate and walked along the main street past the largest pharmacy, Yishengtang, they saw a lot of people gathered at the door and the street was blocked.
The onlookers stopped and looked at the family kneeling at the door and praying.
The woman was seen holding a boy of about six years old in her arms, kneeling at the door of the drugstore and crying bitterly. Two girls of twelve or thirteen years old were kneeling beside her.
Li Yan heard the people standing in front of her whispering, "God bless you! I think the child in that woman's arms is going to die!"
Another woman beside him echoed, "That's right. I just heard that this kid has been living in this pharmacy for three days. I guess he ran out of money and was kicked out!"
Li Yan had just finished listening to the two men's discussion when she saw the pharmacist in the pharmacy push the two men out the door and say to the onlookers, "Our pharmacy has treated your child for three days, but we charged you five cents of silver. Our doctor has taken extra care of you. If you don't have the silver, you can go back!"
The old man begged, "Doctor, please be kind and let my little baby stay here for two more days. We will go and raise money right away. We will never deny it!" As he said this, he was about to kneel down to beg for mercy.
The young man pushed the old man away and he staggered back a few steps. Fortunately, he was caught by his son behind him.
The young man said impatiently: "This is a pharmacy, not a charity!"
After saying that, he walked into the pharmacy without looking back.
The old man looked at the unconscious child in his daughter-in-law's arms, gritted his teeth, and suddenly knelt down in front of everyone: "Kindhearted people, please help me and take my grandson to see a doctor. My family is willing to work like slaves!"
Zhao Da beside him also knelt down with his father.
At this moment, the people who were watching the excitement just now all avoided the old man Zhao's pleading eyes.
Those who arrived early heard: "This child's life will be kept alive by ginseng in the future. Who dares to take on this hot potato?"
