Chapter 87 The Uninvited Guest
"Miss Lu, he won't die, will he?" Mo Lang asked Lu Qingqing.
"He won't die. It's just that it's a drug trial, and it's hard to control the dosage. It looks like he'll be bedridden for a while. You'll need to find someone to take care of him."
"Oh." Mo Lang secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as they don't die, that's fine.
"It's alright, just ask Aunt Zhou to keep an eye on things. I have money now, and Aunt Zhou is very willing to do more work."
Lying on the ground, Fu Leng shed tears of emotion.
Good brother.
What a good brother.
Lu Qingqing nodded with a smile.
I'm afraid Aunt Zhou won't be able to serve you.
It can cause incontinence.
“Miss Lu, I’ve taken over a small shop on East Street called Herbal Shop. It’ll be more convenient for your brother to deliver medicine there from now on.”
"I'd also like another 200 bottles of wound medicine and 50 bottles of scar removal medicine..."
"No problem! You're so smart!"
Unlike the one on the ground drooling.
"Ahem..." Xu Rui reminded, "Can we carry Fu Leng out first?"
Waaaaah... It's still the young master who cares about him!
Fu Leng glared fiercely at Mo Lang.
Mo Lang: "I'm sorry, young master, I've dirtied your floor. I'll clean it up when I get back!"
After saying that, he picked up Fu Leng and "whoosh"ed away.
The remaining two people were inside the house.
"Miss Lu..."
"Oh, the treatment is now finished. You can drink the medicine for another month to expel the remaining toxins. If you want it to be faster, you can also have acupuncture done. I won't be coming."
Lu Qingqing picked up the medicine box and said, "Goodbye."
As always, clean and efficient.
Xu Rui wanted to ask when they were going to catch birds, but he couldn't get the answer.
...
The Lu family.
Two uninvited guests arrived.
It was Li Molan, who had visited a while ago. This time, she brought Tian Leshan's wife with her.
They brought several bundles of pastries and green pears, saying they came to apologize.
Lu Feng and Lu Yun went to repair the irrigation canal.
Old Man Lu went to cut grass for the horses.
Feng Xiaowan and Sixi were there.
Si Xi knew Tian Leshan's wife, and when he saw Li Molan bring her along, he didn't like her.
Upon hearing what he said, Feng Xiaowan poured Li Molan a glass of water and went inside to busy herself.
Tell the two to wait in the yard.
Li Molan felt awkward. The Lu family had been very welcoming to her last time she visited, but now they were cold and distant.
I don't know if it's because of what happened last time or the Tian family's situation.
She glanced at the water on the small wooden table, pursed her dry lips, and didn't touch it.
Mrs. Tian grumbled discontentedly, "This family really has no manners. We're guests, how come they won't even offer us a glass of water?"
"Don't say that. Farmers can't compare to city dwellers in terms of sophistication."
Too.
Madam Tian looked around the small courtyard with raised eyes, her brows furrowing more and more.
What a mess.
So dirty.
It stinks.
More sawdust.
It's just another clod of dirt.
It's Malan again.
"Plop!" A warm liquid dripped onto my head.
When Madam Tian touched it, it emitted a sharp, piercing sound.
"Ugh! Where did that bird poop come from? It's so disgusting!!!"
Mrs. Swallow quickly darted under the eaves, peeking out cautiously.
It's not like we've dragged this person under the eaves, why is this person making such a fuss?
"Don't shout! You're scaring my sister!" Sixi warned loudly.
Sure enough, a baby's cry came from inside the room.
Mrs. Tian was about to lose her temper.
Li Moran, however, was drawn to it.
Feng Xiaowan brought Xibao out to urinate, and she went up to her.
"This child is really good-looking."
Li Molan said enviously.
They were fair-skinned and clean, unlike the dark-skinned, snotty country children I used to see.
I looked down.
"It's a pity it's a girl."
“It’s a pity in your house, but not in ours!” Feng Xiaowan retorted immediately.
Xi Bao is very pampered at home; she's their precious darling!
What's wrong with this woman? Coming to someone else's house and spreading rumors.
Li Molan then realized what was going on and blurted out what was on her mind.
But Feng Xiaowan's words also made her a little angry.
Girls are worthless to begin with, so what's wrong with her saying something?
Can baby girls carry on the family line?
Can he inherit the family business?
Seriously!
If she's going to get pregnant, it has to be a boy!
Li Moran and Madam Tian waited under the scorching sun for a while longer, until they could no longer bear it, when they finally heard the sound of horses' hooves.
Si Xi "slipped" out.
He skillfully led the horse in.
Unsaddle, tie up the horse, and feed it hay.
"Qingqing, you're finally back." Li Moran stepped forward with a smile.
Lu Qingqing was surprised, "Oh, Sister Mo Lan is here."
She glanced at Madam Tian, who seemed somewhat uncomfortable beside her, and understood.
After wandering around the city, I heard that no one was buying the goods from Tian's shop anymore.
Madam Tian is getting anxious.
I fetched water and washed my hands.
Feng Xiaowan brought over a basin of washed green pears.
"Little sister, are you thirsty? Have a pear to quench your thirst."
Those pears were much bigger and juicier than the small green pears that Madam Tian brought in.
"Thank you, sister-in-law."
Lu Qingqing took one and started eating it.
Feng Xiaowan left one for Sixi, and then took it away.
She deliberately washed so much, just to show that Madam Tian.
Bringing a few small, scarred pears is really shameless.
In the village, those were all surplus fruits that had been harvested in advance.
Mrs. Tian's lips were so dry they were almost chapped, and she was about to burst with anger.
Since Lu Qingqing was here, she got straight to the point.
“Miss Lu, I was wrong last time. I didn’t know you were the supplier my husband, Lao Tian, had chosen.”
I've come to apologize. You can continue delivering medicinal herbs to the Tian family's shop from now on.
As soon as she finished speaking, Li Moran exclaimed in surprise, "Qingqing, the scars on your face are gone! And your face is so much whiter, how did you do that?"
Madam Tian took a look.
That's right.
Lu Qingqing's face was even smoother than the last time I saw her, because her cheeks were still flushed from just coming back from outside.
Without any makeup, it's naturally clear and radiant, like a peach blossom in early March.
So fresh and tender it makes one envious.
"After applying scar cream, it'll be fine," Lu Qingqing said.
Oh, right! Scar cream!
Those clinics said they would only accept wound medicine and scar cream!
“Miss Lu, please make some more wound medicine and scar cream. My family will buy them all.”
Lu Qingqing looked at Madam Tian and smiled faintly.
"there is none left."
"What?"
"Whether it's medicinal herbs, wound medicine, or scar medicine, they've all been ordered. We can't even keep up with the demand, so we really don't have any extra to give to others."
Madam Tian had been waiting for this sentence for a long time, and now she had no patience left.
All the clinics in town are waiting for the goods; who did she sell them to?
They must have deliberately refused to sell it to her!
He couldn't help but force a smile.
"Since the young lady is unwilling to cooperate, then forget it. Our Tian family shop has been in business for so many years, and we have plenty of suppliers. One or two more won't make a difference."
"Madam Li, let's go! We're practically dried out from the heat all day!"
She picked up the things she had brought and turned to walk out the door.
It was Li Moran who set up the match, and things were going well until Madam Tian messed things up.
Unfortunately, her husband had a connection with Tian Leshan, so she had no choice but to bring Madam Tian on this trip.
This made her annoyed too.
Li Molan hurriedly explained the matter to Lu Qingqing: "Qingqing, I originally wanted to go to the yamen to plead for you last time, but my husband..."
It's understandable that her husband wouldn't allow it.
They don't have a deep relationship, so there's no need for them to get involved.
"I understand, it's nothing."
"Qingqing, come find me again when you get to the city..."
