Rebirth of the best family

Chapter 143 Chinese Medicine on the Stove

Chapter 140 Eighth Chinese Medicine on the Stove
After dinner, Chen Aijiao cleaned up the dishes and Erjiao helped her.

Li Qiang's mother originally wanted Erjiao to sit in the main room and talk, but a few old ladies who caught scarlet letters came to the house, so she didn't care much about Erjiao. Without Li Qiang's mother staring at him, Erjiao's heart On the contrary, it is much more comfortable.

Excessive enthusiasm makes people very uncomfortable, especially Li Qiang's mother always mentions that her daughter is married well, and her relatives have found a good family. The implication is that you are really admirable when you go to university. One glance, but a woman still has to find a good home.

Such an argument, Er Jiao really dare not flatter.

As for Li Qiang, who was very chatty, Erjiao had no intention of chatting with him, and as soon as he saw a few old ladies picking up cards, he would sit behind him and look at the cards spontaneously.

He also wanted to invite Erjiao to watch it together, but Erjiao suspected that if these people were not old ladies who were slow to respond, he would roll up his sleeves and do it himself.

Originally, before Chen Aijiao and Li Qiang got married, Er Jiao didn't have such a bad impression of Li Qiang. This is probably because she had to maintain a good image when she was not married. At that time, Li Qiang's words were not as exaggerated and grandiose as they are now. Now his attitude is a bit too much Casually, I don't know what kind of psychology it is, I keep bragging at the dinner table how wide my network is and how capable my friends are.

"Erjiao, you really don't think about what your brother-in-law said?" Chen Aijiao was cleaning the dishes while testing Erjiao. She really thought this job was good and decent.

"It's great to work in the government here. It's close to home, you eat the national food, and you are an official. You are a college student. If you enter the government again, you will be in trouble. I think we work in the government. The lesbians who walk with their heads held high are particularly powerful."

Er Jiao smiled, "Then they can't wrestle while walking."

"You really are!" Chen Aijiao gave her an angry look, and she laughed too, "Erjiao, your brother-in-law has some connections, it's rare that she wants to help you, you really don't want to think about it."

"I don't want to." Erjiao shook her head, not wanting to continue the question, "Sister, how long have you been drinking these things on the stove?"

A jar of herbal medicine was boiling on the earthen stove of the Chen family, and the strong smell of medicine permeated the entire kitchen. Earlier when Erjiao smelled the faint smell of medicine on Chen Aijiao's body, she didn't think much about it.

Taking traditional Chinese medicine was commonplace in rural areas at this time, and the roads outside many people’s homes were covered with medicine dregs. It was not a serious illness, but there were few western medicines at this time, and everyone who had a minor ailment found a prescription and cooked it.

It was only when Li Qiang's mother asked Chen Aijiao if she had taken her medicine as prescribed when the table was just removed, that Erjiao came back to it.

This medicine was actually taken by Chen Aijiao, and it seemed that she took it for a long time.

Speaking of this, Chen Aijiao smiled, "I haven't taken the medicine for nourishing my body for a long time, only a few months."

How many months?Erjiao frowned, Chen Aijiao has only been married to Li's family for a few months, and she has been taking medicine for such a long time, "What is this for?"

While talking, Erjiao stepped forward and flipped through the Chinese medicine package exposed from the open dish. There were a lot of medicines in it, but Erjiao couldn't understand the specific effects.

Chen Aijiao was silent for a while, hesitated for a while, as if she didn't know what to say, before she said, "Take care of the medicine for giving birth."

What Chen Aijiao didn't say was that this was the medicine that Zhao Xiuju stuffed into her, and that she was responsible for giving birth to a boy. It is said that Chen Jianye got pregnant because Zhao Xiuju took this medicine.

"How long have you been married? Just let you take this medicine? Which hospital was this medicine prescribed for?" Erjiao was stunned. Chen Aijiao is only nineteen years old this year, and she has only been married for half a year. , Why do you have to drink this kind of thing.

"Chunhua is pregnant." Chen Aijiao didn't take it seriously. Isn't it a duty for a woman to get married and have a baby? The medicine just boiled, so she hurriedly got up and strained the medicine into a bowl to cool. "I should have some snacks, too."

Erjiao frowned as she looked at the bowl of black and smoking medicine, "If you want to have a baby, don't you have to go to the hospital? Will eating these things work?"

Chen Aijiao laughed as soon as she heard this, "Why don't you go to the hospital to see this kind of thing? It's useful. Mom said it would be useful."

mom?Chen Aijiao called Zhao Xiuju her mother, and Erjiao heard her call Li Qiang his mother today, so Zhao Xiuju gave this medicine?
"Who gave this medicine?" Er Jiao's tone suddenly changed from a casual question to a serious one.

Chen Aijiao paused when she was adding water to the medicine jar. This medicine can be boiled three times, adding water and boiling it again just in time to drink a bowl when she wakes up at night.

"We and his mother went to the temple to ask for this, it is very effective."

Erjiao's heart skipped a beat. There are no temples near Chenjiawan. The only ones that can be called temples are the sorceresses who have changed their appearances. They are all in name only, but the sorceress who is well-known in Chenjiawan ten miles and eight towns is a middle-aged woman in her thirties who can't read a word.

Occasionally, she went to the town and passed by the sorceress' house. Erjiao had never seen herbal medicines dried in the yard, but she had heard of her using incense ash water to treat people's diseases, and almost killed people.

"Sister, could it be the temple where people were almost killed?" Chen Aijiao told her about this on the news, and Chen Aijiao herself will not forget it.

As expected, Chen Aijiao was stunned, most likely she would retrieve the news she had forgotten from her memory, "Isn't that child well?"

"It was cured when the doctor happened to go to the countryside later." Erjiao answered angrily, "Don't drink this medicine, take it with me to the hospital tomorrow and ask, I want to see what the medicine is. What's the use, others didn't cure it, but it was a bad thing!"

"It can't be." Chen Aijiao couldn't help being a little hesitant. She also believed in the witch in her heart. At that time, they also said that if the doctor who went to the countryside didn't happen to come so well, the child would almost be healed. It was just for Erjiao. At that time, she insisted on understanding that the child was saved by a doctor.

She has always been unable to speak against Erjiao, so she has no choice but to acquiesce in her words.

Erjiao looked at her silently, Chen Aijiao thought about it, it's okay if she misses a meal or two, if she makes it up later, it should be the same.

"All right, I'll go and have a look with you."

Now that Erjiao has agreed, the medicine can no longer be taken, mainly because Erjiao is watching from the side, Chen Aijiao dare not drink it secretly, and she can't let her mother-in-law and father-in-law find out that she didn't take it, so she can only quietly pour the medicine into the back of the kitchen The place where the dregs are poured.

It's just that I feel a little distressed when I look at the medicine poured out. These are all exchanged for money, "It's a pity, this medicine costs several dollars."

"Sister, your body is more important than money!"
