Chapter 1106 Stepfather 17
The captain really didn’t want to take care of the mistress’s family affairs, because he was afraid that if he did, the mistress would not only not be grateful to him, but would also find opportunities to blackmail him.
But this is a major matter involving human life, and the captain cannot ignore it.
The captain asked his youngest daughter to call the people from the first militia team to Xu's house. Not long after, the second laizi was taken to the county hospital by the team's ox cart.
This time, the captain did not let Yuanchun follow.
This girl didn't sleep for three days and three nights. The captain was worried that if she went, one more person might be hospitalized, so he gave her a day off and let her go back to sleep.
Yuan Chun was frightened and said that he could go to work. The team leader said angrily, "You don't want to die. I don't want anyone in our village to die in the field."
Yuan Chun shrank his head and had no choice but to The obedient ones sleep at home.
Without the old beast at home, Yuanchun felt that the air was clearer, the sky was bluer, and the sun was brighter. She nestled in the bed and slept happily until dark.
She woke up hungry.
I missed two meals and was very hungry.
Yuan Chun took out four eggs, cracked them, boiled them in sugar and water and ate them.
There was no sugar at home, so Yuanchun threw in the fruit candies that he had secretly hidden before, and happily ate a large bowl of sugar-watered eggs.
The original owner was capable, strong and had a big appetite.
Yuan Chun was not full at all with this little food.
But if you have food in your belly, your hands and feet will not become weak from hunger. Yuanchun began to knead the dough to make wild vegetable pastry, and also made some cabbage and egg drop soup to drink.
The next day, Yuanchun did not go to work. She wrapped ten wild vegetable dumplings in newspapers, plucked a small bundle of cabbage and green onions, packed some sauce in cans and bottles, and carried them to the county seat. .
She also brought the medicinal materials she collected these days and the wild ginseng root.
When she arrived in the county town, Yuanchun did not go to the hospital. She walked around the county town and talked to a few kind-looking ladies. From their mouths, she learned that there was a century-old traditional Chinese medicine shop in the county town. Yuanchun went over and showed the medicinal materials in the basket to the old Chinese doctor.
"You are quite good at handling these medicinal materials. Let me calculate the money for you. Hey, this is... a century-old wild ginseng. Did you dig this up?" The old doctor looked surprised.
Yuan Chun nodded silently.
To avoid being recognized in the future, before entering the traditional Chinese medicine shop, she put a layer of something on her face and added a layer of freckles to cover up her original appearance.
Even if her stepfather is in front of her, he may not be able to recognize her.
The old doctor's face was full of excitement, "I'll bid three hundred yuan for this wild ginseng, and I'll give you a whole dozen yuan for the other medicinal materials. Do you think it's okay?"
< br>
Yuanchun said nothing, but he was actually asking 007 about the value of century-old ginseng in this small world.
The old doctor misunderstood that she was too young.
The old doctor said, "Girl, the price I offered can be said to be the highest price in the entire county. If you go to other Chinese medicine shops, they will give you a maximum of 260."
"If this ginseng of yours is taken to the imperial capital, it will It sells for four hundred yuan. If you meet someone who needs it urgently, I might give you five hundred yuan. But in our county, this is the price. If you want to sell it, you can keep it. I won’t force you if you don’t sell it.”
< br>"Sell it at the price you said."
"Okay, okay, girl, wait a minute, I'll get the money."
...
Yuan Chun left the traditional Chinese medicine shop and went to the hospital with a huge sum of money in his pocket.
She first asked for the ward number where her stepfather lived, and then went to the door of the ward without going in. Until Qin Yuming, who was arranged by the captain to take care of the second son, came out, Yuan Chun stepped forward and whispered, " Brother Yuming, you worked hard to take care of my dad last night. I’ll bring you some food. Don’t dislike it.”
