Chapter 74
"Yo yo, haha, not bad, not bad. This firewood is enough to exchange for a few taels of silver! Hey, I let you Uncle Wu come, just you with small arms and legs, don't be so tired."

The old man Wu praised and looked at it, and he picked up the firewood with one hand and put it on the bullock cart at the gate of the yard, as easily as holding grass, as if the firewood didn't have half the weight.

"What else, let's put it together."

Old man Wu is very honest, and he is well-known among his neighbors here. Seeing that the Jiang family is poor, he is also very kind to them.

Although people in the village have been rumoring that the Jiang family has gotten rich recently, he still tries his best to help them out of his original intention of being kind to others.

"There's still a basket of herbs, so I'm going to trouble Uncle Wu."

This basket of herbs was left over from her trip to the mountains to collect herbs a few days ago.

It's all dry now.

Dried herbs are also easier to sell than wet herbs.

I happened to go to Jishitang to pull wormwood seeds, so I might as well sell the rest to Jishitang.

Jiang Ruyue smiled so hard that her eyes narrowed. She didn't expect there to be such a good person in this village.It's like helping people at home.

"Oh? You also know herbs?"

Now the old man Wu is really a bit strange. The work of chopping firewood is a job that anyone with a bit of strength can do, but if he knows how to pick herbs, it requires some brains.

"Didn't this Xiaoxing love to get sick when he was not weaned? People say that a long-term illness makes a doctor. Besides, my family had no money and could only rely on myself. So I know some herbs."

Jiang Ruyue couldn't tell how she knew about medicine, so she had to make up a nonsense first, and then talk about it if she was exposed.

"So that's it. Then let's go quickly, by the way, do you want to go together, Mrs. Liu?"

Old man Wu doubted it, and asked her with a smile.

"Xiaoyue, go with Xiaoxing, I'll take care of the house at home. With you, Uncle Wu here, I can rest assured!"

Seeing that the two baskets were loaded on the bullock cart, Mrs. Liu didn't need to worry about not being able to carry the firewood and herbs, and she was really relieved to have the good old man in the village, Uncle Wu, to help.

That being the case, she can stay at home. If possible, she will weave some more cloth for her daughter's dowry money later.

"Okay, then you stay at home and watch carefully, mother and Haoxuan will buy you delicious food when they come back."

Jiang Ruyue thought about it, and with Uncle Wu around, it really saved a lot of trouble.

Speaking of which, the old man Wu let Jiang Ruyue and Xiaoxing get into the bullock cart to say goodbye to Liu Shi, and then walked towards the market in a leisurely manner.

There were not many people going to the market today, and the three of them rode in an ox cart, so the road was much easier. .

Jiang Ruyue saw that Old Man Wu was moaning, and asked casually, what's wrong with Uncle Wu.

"Hey, don't mention it, girl Xiaoyue, you know my mother-in-law. I don't know what kind of bird disease I have now. My neck is swollen like a watermelon. I'm really anxious to death."

When old man Wu mentioned his mother-in-law, he felt very upset.

When I went to the market today, I thought I should find a doctor in the town for my old lady to take a good look at it, or buy some tonics to eat, and see if it will improve.

"Uncle Wu, you said that my aunt's neck is very swollen?"

Jiang Ruyue bit her lip slightly, asking casually.This Uncle Wu is indeed a nice person, so does she want to repay him?

Just now it sounds like this symptom is a bit similar to modern hyperthyroidism, which is big neck disease.

"I just wanted to sleep, but I just vomited whatever I ate. I didn't work hard and it disappeared. I asked the old people in the village and the doctors in the neighboring villages, and they all said it couldn't be cured."

The old man Wu said while driving the ox cart, his face was full of sadness, how he wished to bear that punishment for his wife.If it wasn't for the family to eat, how could he be willing to let his mother-in-law go to the house and let her suffer, but there was nothing he could do.

"Uncle Wu, I remember that last time I saw a person with the same disease in Jishitang, and then the doctor of Jishitang prescribed a medicine for him. I heard that the medicine finally cured him."

"And I took a look at the prescription at the time."
