Space peasant girl: mother dressed as three oil bottles

Chapter 27
"What happened to uncle's body?"

Gu Li asked suspiciously Zhuang Qing who was walking beside her.

"In recent years, my father-in-law has been full and hungry, and his body collapsed early. As he gets older and worries too much, his body functions also degenerate. In the past two years, he always had chest tightness and breathlessness. I was so out of breath that I was struggling even to walk, so I started to rest in bed. This year, I almost didn’t catch my breath a few times, which scared me to death.”

Zhuang Qing didn't hide it, she said what she had to say.

The three of them were sitting in the side hall talking about family affairs.Then Zhuang Qing remembered that Fang Bi's medicine was about to run out, and he had to get some medicine today, so he went out.

Gu Li simply followed out together.

From her description, it looks like a coronary heart disease.Although Gu Li has some medical knowledge, he only knows a little bit about it.

Speaking of this, the two seemed to have nothing else to talk about for a while.

Gu Li wanted to break the embarrassment, so he took the initiative to talk about something else,
"Zhuang Qing, you and Xiaokang just got married, right? I guess you haven't had a baby yet."

Zhuang Qing showed a wry smile,
"Don't be afraid of my sister-in-law's jokes. Xiaokang and I have been married for a while. As for the child, it's not that we don't want to have it, but we can't raise it at all. When my father-in-law bought the two-story attic, he had already emptied the family. Later, he had health problems. , taking medicine and seeing a doctor all the year round, and the family can't make ends meet.

"Daddy needs someone in front of her. I can only take care of her at home, and Xiaokang goes out to work alone."

The income in the town is different from farming in the countryside. It mainly comes from doing business or working for others.But it is difficult for ordinary families to afford a sick number.

"Where does Xiaokang work? How is the boss?"

Gu Li just asked casually, who would have expected that Zhuang Qing's expression would become a little depressed,
"Originally, Xiaokang was in charge of Fuzhi Restaurant, and the boss respected him very much, and his life was okay. But who would have thought that the boss had a sudden illness, and his family was going to buy the restaurant. I heard that the buyer wanted to use his own people, We Xiaokang can only wait for the news at home. Now, if we are really fired, I am afraid that we will not even be able to pay for my father-in-law's medicine."

Gu Li raised his eyebrows, it turned out that Xiaokang was a cook.Coincidentally, he actually works in the same restaurant as Brother Fu Gui.

There are only two restaurants in this town, and Fuzhi Restaurant is one of them.

Although its business is not as good as the other one, it has always had a good reputation.

This buyer is real, you don't need to fire the old employees before buying a restaurant, right?This time, I don't know how many people's jobs will be smashed.

Zhuang Qing saw that Gu Li had listened to what he said, and remained silent for a while.Suddenly my heart skipped a beat, and I immediately blamed myself,
"Look at my mouth. Why are you telling my sister-in-law these things? Don't take it to heart."

While talking, the two had already arrived at the pharmacy, which was the only one in the town, so the medicinal herbs were in short supply.

"Daughter-in-law of the Fang family, are you here to fetch medicine again?"

When the guy saw her, he immediately came forward to greet her. Obviously, she was already a regular customer.

"Catch it the old way, buddy."

"I understand, get rid of ginseng and musk, and focus on the most basic. Or ten pairs?"

"No, grab five copies for me today."

"Okay, I'll catch it now, it's not easy for you!"

The guy said and patted her on the shoulder with a look of sympathy.

Zhuang Qing pulled Gu Li to sit on the chair in the pharmacy and waited for the medicine.

She touched her fingers and fiddled with them, her eyes slowly filled with sorrow.

They also want to follow the doctor's pharmacy to get medicine.But the ginseng and musk in it are too expensive, and I can't afford it at all.If Xiaokang lost his job, he might not be able to afford such medicines.

"Zhuang Qing, can you show me your uncle's prescription?"

"Of course!"

Zhuang Qing immediately agreed, picked up the pouch on his waist and opened it, took out a neatly stacked reed paper and handed it over.

Ginseng, cinnamon, musk, styrax.....
It is indeed a prescription for coronary heart disease.With this disease, the only way to control the state is through drugs.But without precious medicinal materials, the effect must be greatly reduced.

When paying, Gu Li deliberately took a look and found that there were only a few pennies left in Zhuang Qing's small purse.

"Zhuang Qing, go back and make medicine for uncle! I have something to do here."

After Zhuang Qing gave a few words of advice, she took the medicine and left alone.

She went directly to Babaozhai.

Just now, the five ordinary medicines alone cost close to one tael of silver. If the expensive medicinal materials were added, it would be less expensive.

Zhuang Qing and Fang Xiaokang didn't, but Gu Li did!
I vaguely remember seeing some ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum in the warehouse of Babaozhai last time.After searching the memory, I finally found the location of the precious medicinal materials.

Two hundred-year-old ginsengs were held in Gu Li's hands.After thinking about it, I added a few ganoderma lucidum, took silver, and worked together.

On the way back to the small attic, she was thinking that she really needed to find some people to count and classify the things in the warehouse of Babaozhai.

Too much, too complicated.If Gu Li hadn't been trained to have excellent eyesight in his previous life, how long it would take to find this ginseng ganoderma.

Back at Fang Bi's house, Mrs. Shao's mood has calmed down a lot.At this moment, he was sitting in the side hall drinking tea with Shao Xiaokang.Fang Bi was overly emotional, already tired and lay down to rest,
Originally, she was reluctant to let go of her sister's hand, but she reluctantly let go only when Mrs. Shao promised not to leave.

Seeing Gu Li's return, Mrs. Shao hurried forward to meet her, "You child, why are you running around like this!"

"Mother, I went to Babaozhai to pick up things."

Gu Li clung to her ear, and solved her doubts with words that only the two of them could hear.

Mrs. Shao understood immediately.

I thought that my brother had been doing well these years, but I found out after chatting with him earlier that his life has been difficult.

When he was young, he was poor, and no girl wanted to marry him.Later, he worked for people everywhere, day and night, finally saved a sum of money, and planned to be closer to his sister.

On the way back to the town to settle down, he picked up an abandoned baby, named Fang Xiaokang, and became his own son.

After finally pulling his son up, his body also collapsed.Fortunately, Fang Xiaokang is honest and hardworking, and his appearance is also upright. Zhuang Qing didn't dislike his family's poverty, so he married into the family anyway.

It's just that my own sick body dragged the two children down.

Hearing that her brother was in such a difficult situation, Mrs. Shao couldn't bear it anymore.I was in a hurry when I came here, and I didn't remember to bring anything.Thinking about talking to Gu Li later, who knew that this guy actually avoided Zhuang Qing and went to Babaozhai.

It seems that the two mothers have the same thoughts.

"Xiaokang, take the ten taels of silver to see a doctor for your uncle. You can buy any medicinal materials in the pharmacy. You don't need to buy ginseng, here are two. There are also some Ganoderma lucidum that I use to flush my uncle's blood every day. "

Gu Li took out the things in his hands, put them on the table, and pushed them in front of Fang Xiaokang.

"No, I can't accept this. If Dad finds out, he will scold me to death."

When Fang Xiaokang saw it, he was immediately dumbfounded.

Let alone the ten taels of silver, even the two high-quality ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum are worth a lot.
