But now her husband has really changed. She actually thought she had heard it wrong. It felt so unreal that she started sobbing.
Xia He sighed, patted her shoulder and comforted her.
Seeing that Li Huilan refused repeatedly, she became serious again and said,
"If you don't eat, I'll be angry."
The Qin Dynasty did not value these refugees. In addition, they were located in Lingnan, which was surrounded by mountains and had a hot and humid climate, and was regarded as a place of malaria.
The people lived a very hard life, and many could not even afford to eat.
And now there is an epidemic of blood diseases in the city, and if you don't take medicine you will die, which is even worse for the already impoverished families.
"At the beginning, it was 100 wen per coin, and now it has risen to 200 wen, and it will definitely rise further in the future."
"In addition to medical treatment, we also need to eat. The rice jar at home is empty, and a pound of millet costs twenty cents."
A hard-working adult male should eat at least 5 taels of rice a day.
One pill is equivalent to 20 days' food for an adult.
Xia He cursed all the ancestors of the black-hearted pharmacy in his heart and took a deep breath.
"Brother He, don't worry. I just found a job doing odd jobs at Mr. Wang's house in the north of the city. I wash clothes and clean the yard. I'm sure things will get better."
Li Huilan wiped away her tears. The change in the man in her family filled her heart with hope.
Although she was still very worried, she would be very happy as long as Xia He stopped going out to gamble.
"To let such a daughter-in-law suffer like this is really... Alas!"
It is obvious that the predecessor in the memory did not feel the slightest bit of pain about this, but instead felt it was natural.
Some even believed that once one entered this door, one would have to serve him until death.
"No wonder he died early."
Xia He shook his head, looking helpless.
However, he also felt a sense of urgency.
If you want to survive, you must not only get medical treatment quickly, but also ensure you don't starve to death.
Otherwise, if the price of the pill continues to increase, there will come a day when we won’t be able to afford it.
At that time, once the blood disease breaks out, the person will die in excruciating pain.
When Xia He thought of this, he felt a chill.
"However, the symptoms of this blood disease are at most headaches and fever at first, more like a cold. How could it cause vomiting blood and body ulcers?"
In his previous life, Xia He was very interested in traditional Chinese medicine and had some knowledge of pharmacology, so he found this very strange.
Just at this moment, he caught a glimpse of a yellowed book beside the bed, with a few distorted words of "Medicinal Herbs Dictionary" on the cover.
"Why do you have such a book at home?"
Xia He picked it up and flipped through it.
"Brother He, have you forgotten that my father is a doctor? This is the dowry he gave me. I'll take a look at it when I have nothing to do."
Xia He patted his head, feeling a little embarrassed, but an idea came to him instantly.
"There are a lot of medicinal herbs in the mountains outside the town. I can go to the mountains to pick some herbs when I have time and bring them back to the town to sell."
Li Huilan naturally did not object, but said embarrassedly,
"I'm not smart. I couldn't memorize the content after reading it for a long time. So far, I can only identify dozens of medicinal herbs."
"Brother He, if you are interested, you can take your time to read it, but you'd better not go to the mountains outside the town."
"Not only is there miasma in the mountains, which can poison people and make them pass out, but there are also wild boars and mountain leopards. Only the best hunters in town dare to go in."
"You've been unconscious for so long you must be hungry. I'll go make you some food."
Looking at Li Huilan's graceful figure walking towards the kitchen, Xia He retracted his gaze and opened the medical book.
Suddenly, a few lines of small words appeared before my eyes.
