"Accountant Xu, I should at least get an explanation for this, right?" Wang Lao Er was extremely envious when he saw Li Xiyue receive so much money all at once.
Xu Weimin had a headache. "You saved Hongshao. Her parents will definitely thank you, and they'll certainly give you a generous gift."
Wang Lao Er waved his hand, looking at Liu Hongshao, "I don't want any of that nonsense as a thank you gift, I just want her. I've already touched her all over, what man would dare to want her now?"
Unexpectedly, he casually scooped up a gold nugget. Liu Hongshao was the accountant's niece. He heard that her family was very well-off. If he could marry her, wouldn't he have endless money?
He's not stupid; he can tell the difference between temporary and lifelong benefits.
Xu Weimin blushed deeply with embarrassment, "You..."
“Brother Xiangyang, look at him, sob sob…” Liu Hongshao cried as she looked at Xu Xiangyang, who had remained silent to the side.
Xu Weimin looked at him pleadingly, "Xiangyang, can you give me some ideas about this?"
"I can't handle this," Xu Xiangyang said, turning and leaving. "I'm going to help the soldiers rescue people."
"Brother Xiangyang!" Liu Hongshao was shocked by Xu Xiangyang's ruthlessness and felt a chill run down her spine.
She was so good to Xu Xiangyang, but Xu Xiangyang abandoned her when she needed him the most. How could he treat her like that?
Li Xiyue was unwilling to get involved with these rotten people and their messes, so she left with Uncle Xu to treat the injured and drowning villagers.
After treating the injured villagers, they went to brew a medicinal soup to prevent colds.
A major disaster is always followed by a major epidemic, and they must take precautions in advance.
After a busy day, everyone finally drank a bowl of herbal medicine to ward off the cold, and the torrential rain that had been falling for a day and a night finally came to an end.
The rain stopped, but the floodwaters didn't recede quickly enough. That night, the villagers of Wangjia Village were destined to be displaced.
“Girl, the educated youth settlement is in a low-lying area and it’s not safe. Why don’t you stay here with me tonight?” Uncle Xu said to Li Xiyue, then turned to Xu Guoqing, who was yawning beside him, and said, “Go and tidy up the observation room so your sister Li can stay here.”
Xu Guoqing responded and turned to go inside.
Li Xiyue agreed. Huang Xinrui and the others had already been settled in villagers' homes by Xu Dawei. She was too afraid to go back to the educated youth settlement. If it rained again in the middle of the night, she would really become a fish.
"Grandpa Xu, you've had a long day, go and rest," Li Xiyue said, seeing how tired Uncle Xu looked.
He's getting on in years, and after all that exertion, his body probably can't take it.
"Okay, I'm going to sleep now. You should go to sleep early too, girl." Uncle Xu was indeed exhausted. This was the first time in all his years as a barefoot doctor that he had dealt with so many patients.
Xu Guoqing finished tidying up the house and walked out listlessly. "Sister Li, the house is all tidied up."
"Guoqing, you don't look well."
Xu Guoqing is known for his boundless energy, and although he was busy today, he shouldn't be this tired.
Li Xiyue reached out and touched his forehead. "You have a slight fever. Let me check your tongue coating."
Xu Guoqing opened his mouth and stuck out his tongue.
After examining you, Li Xiyue said, "You've caught a cold. I'll prescribe some medicine for you, boil it in water, and give you a bath. You should get some sleep."
After saying that, she went into the pharmacy and took out herbs such as patchouli, perilla leaves, mugwort leaves, schizonepeta, gardenia, tangerine peel, saposhnikovia root, dried ginger, cinnamon twig, and astragalus from the medicine cabinet, along with mugwort.
This is a medicinal bath she formulated herself, specifically for treating colds caused by wind and cold.
If you don't want to take medicine, a bath is more convenient and quick, with fewer side effects and less harm to your spleen and stomach.
After preparing the medicine, she went into the kitchen, put the herbs into a pot of boiling water, and started cooking.
Before long, the water boiled, and the aroma of the herbs was released. Li Xiyue asked Xu Guoqing to scoop out the water so she could take a bath. The herbs could be boiled again, and she could take another bath tomorrow for even better results.
Xu Guoqing had just left with the water when Xu Xiangyang returned.
Soaked to the bone and looking extremely haggard, Li Xiyue asked, "Are you injured?"
Xu Xiangyang shook his head. "How about you? Are you alright?"
"I'm fine," Li Xiyue said with a smile.
Seeing that he looked really bad, she said with concern, "I prepared a medicinal bath for Guoqing. You should also take a bath to warm yourself up. It's still so cold outside. You've been soaking in the water for so long. Even an iron body can't withstand that."
As she spoke, she went to scoop water to continue boiling the medicine.
