Chapter 96 Earning food expenses
"Grandma and Yuanyuan can't swim. Fortunately, my aunt is good at swimming and helped them swim ashore. However, both grandmother and Yuanyuan also choked a lot of water. Yuanyuan caught the wind and cold and has been having a fever since yesterday... Grandma Fortunately, nothing serious happened, but there has been no news about my eldest brother and sister-in-law. I was so worried that I couldn't sleep all night long, and the old man's spirit was also very bad."

Mu Yunchao sighed repeatedly, looked at Xiao Yuanyuan's red face, and whispered: "We can stay in the inn only because my aunt sold Yuanyuan's longevity lock. In the past two days, When I got home, I didn’t have much money left, and I didn’t have any money to buy medicine for Yuanyuan..."

Aunt Zong saw her daughter falling asleep due to fever. She felt distressed and could do nothing. She could only get her some hot water to wipe her face and body.

When she saw Ruan He and the others coming in, Aunt Zong suddenly became happy after being stunned. She looked at Ruan He pleadingly with a bitter face, her tearful eyes filled with light: "Young Madam, please forgive me. Look around, she has had a fever all day and night, if the fever continues, I don’t know what will happen.”

Upon hearing Aunt Zong's words, Mu Yunchao's troubled expression froze, and then he suddenly remembered: My sister-in-law is good at medicine!It will definitely cure Yuanyuan directly!
"Don't worry, I'll take a look."

Ruan He reached out his hand and gently covered Mu Yuanyuan's hot forehead. It was so hot that he had a high fever.

She took out a piece of broken silver and asked Mu Yunchao to go to the nearby drugstore to grab some heat-clearing herbs. She then asked Aunt Zong to take the towel and clean it up before bringing in a basin of warm water.

When Aunt Zong came back, Ruan He had already taken out a pot of spiritual spring water, poured the spiritual spring water into the basin, mixed it with hot water, and soaked the towel in it for a while.

Aunt Zong followed Ruan He's instructions, picked up the soaked hot towel again, and wiped Mu Yuanyuan's whole body.

At the same time, Mu Yunchao had already bought the designated medicinal materials. Ruan He used Lingquan water as a base, boiled the medicinal materials for a while, and then placed a bowl of boiling medicinal soup on the table.

Hearing the chaotic movement around her, Mrs. Mutai, who was sleeping on the bed, also woke up and looked over.

Mrs. Mutai also seemed to be in low spirits, and her wrinkled old face was no longer as peaceful as before.

When she saw her grandson and grandson's daughter-in-law, whom she had longed for, she barely smiled, but she couldn't cheer up.

The elderly may not be in good health, and they may be suffering from colds. They are still worried and scared these days, which will naturally have an impact.

The borrowed pot boiled half a pot of medicinal soup, and one bowl was enough for Mu Yuanyuan to drink. Ruan He poured another bowl and handed it to Mrs. Mu Tai.

The medicinal soup boiled with Lingquan water was naturally very effective. After Mrs. Mutai drank a bowl, she felt that all the accumulated qi in her chest had been cleared away, and her whole body felt relaxed.

She naturally knew who was responsible for the medicinal soup. She put down the bowl in her hand, looked at Ruan He, patted her hand, smiled peacefully, and couldn't help but sigh: "This family has Xiao He." It’s great.”

After wiping the spiritual spring water, a little of the heat from Mu Yuanyuan's body was expelled. She woke up groggily, opened her eyes wide, and when she saw Ruan He, she called out in a sweet voice: "Sister-in-law."

Seeing that Mu Yuanyuan had regained some energy, she was able to sit up, which made Aunt Zong burst into tears with joy, and she quickly coaxed her daughter to drink the bowl of medicinal soup.

Mu Yuanyuan was a well-behaved child, and she drank the entire bowl of the unpleasant-smelling medicinal soup in a daze.

Children's recovery ability is not bad, and the effect of spiritual spring water is definitely good.

Within an hour, Mu Yuanyuan was sweating, and she was able to run and jump around the bed.

Seeing her daughter jumping up and down, Aunt Zong's worries disappeared in an instant.

She seemed to have thought of something, wiped the tears from her eyes, quickly pulled Yuanyuan, and forced herself to kneel down to thank Ruan He.

Ruan He quickly pulled the ignorant and well-behaved little guy up, smiled helplessly, looked at the extremely moved Aunt Zong and said, "There is nothing to be grateful for, we are all one family."

Aunt Zong nodded silently. She thought that she had secretly hidden Yuanyuan's longevity lock before. She didn't dare to let anyone know. She only thought about how much the longevity lock was worth and how it could help her later. They live as mother and daughter.She couldn't help but feel guilty. The young madam had poured out her heart and soul to them, but she still hid it.

……

the other side.

Li Jiang and Wang Xiaoer took Mu Zhengbai to perform on the street to earn money.

They didn't have a ready-made platform for the stall owner, so they simply asked Mu Zhengbai to stand on the side of the road in a busy area, lift up the decent clothes he was still wearing, clear his throat, and get down to business. The ground began to recite the stumbling poems.

After dinner, idle passers-by can also stop and watch, and throw in a few coins as a reward.

No matter where you are, there is no shortage of people who like to watch the excitement. As you go back and forth, pedestrians gather around you.

Wang Xiaoer put on a cheerful face, muttered a few witty words, and coaxed the people watching to throw some coins to Mu Zhengbai.

After working like this for half an hour, when the sky was dark, they had earned a lot of copper coins. They couldn't buy better food, but they were enough to buy a rough-wheat bun for everyone to fill their stomachs.

Having earned money for the meal, they closed the stall and left, bought rough-noodle buns and headed to the inn.

Mu Zhengbai was so hungry that he insisted on eating a steamed bun first.

"Well done, sir. I have no merit but hard work. I'll eat one first to fill my stomach!"

Wang Xiaoer was so annoyed by him that he angrily took out a rough bun from his bag and threw it to him.

The rough-faced steamed bun flew across the air. Mu Zhengbai's hand slipped and he missed the catch. The rough-faced steamed bun rolled straight to the ground, and rolled in a circle of ash.

Mu Zhengbai was so distressed that he quickly picked it up, patted the ashes from the rough bun, and stuffed it whole into his mouth.

He stuffed his mouth full of steamed buns, and did not forget to bargain: "Master Chao... you lost one steamed bun, you have to compensate me for another one."

"Quite dare to think about it." Wang Xiaoer sneered, glanced at his disgusting look, and said nothing more.

Wang Xiaoer did not show off his power, but gave Mu Zhengbai a chance to talk. He swallowed the steamed buns in three mouthfuls and dared to mutter and complain.

"I've been performing as a entertainer these days. At least I can occasionally mix in some broth. Here I can only eat rough noodle steamed buns..."

Mu Zhengbai couldn't stop, and Wang Xiaoer was very annoyed, especially those complaints that kept buzzing in his ears like flies.

"What? You're not happy that I didn't hit you, right?"

Wang Xiaoer clenched his fist and waved it intimidatingly at him, with an impatient look on his face.

Mu Zhengbai wiped the crumbs from his mouth. He was so threatened that he was afraid that Wang Xiaoer would beat him up, so he was too scared to murmur any more.
