Abandoned Woman Busy Farming

During dinner, Bai Zepei came back from the East Courtyard, handed a paper bag to Bai Ruozhu, and said, "You asked Du Zhongshu to find the medicinal materials. He said he found two. The money will be deducted from your bonus, so you don't need it." Worry about it.”

Bai Ruozhu happily took the medicinal materials and didn't think much about why Du Zhongshu refused to give it to her. It only took a few steps to walk from the east courtyard to the west courtyard.

She opened the paper bag and looked at it. However, the two herbs included were not the most expensive ones. It was not enough to prepare a new ointment. The smile on her face faded again, and she could not help but frown and shake her head.

Lin Ping'er and Bai Yihong both stretched their necks to look. Seeing their daughter like this, Lin Ping'er hurriedly asked: "Ruozhu, why is the medicine wrong?"

Bai Ruozhu shook his head, "The medicine is good, but I still need a few other medicines. I'm anxious to treat Rong'er and Aunt Zhang, so I'm a little worried."

When she heard that the medicine was for Rong'er and her mother, Lin Ping'er's eyes turned red again, "If you need any medicine, find someone to buy it. If you don't have enough money, we will find a way. We must cure them as soon as possible."

"Yes." Bai Ruozhu responded, then looked at Bai Yihong and said, "Dad, the Zhang family has helped our family a lot, and Rong'er is my sister. You said they are in trouble, should I care?"

Bai Yihong shrank his neck, "You should take care of what you should take care of, spend money where you should, your father is not a stingy person."

"Dad, don't get me wrong. Ronger is my goddaughter. The money I spent to buy them medical treatment and medicine was all the dividends I earned in my own way. I didn't use my family's money. It's just that they were hurt too much and they had to get it." Only expensive medicinal materials can cure it, and if you want to leave no scars, you need better medicinal materials. Today these two medicines are relatively cheap, but even so, we can’t buy them in Anyuan Town, otherwise I wouldn’t I will trouble Mr. Du."

Bai Ruozhu continued: "Dad always feels that our family makes more money now, so we shouldn't be stingy about the old house. But now there is no money left in the family. The expenses and favors in the future will be very large, and I have to give Rong'er and Aunt Zhang's treatment will definitely not be able to support the family in a short time, so the family's money must be spent sparingly."

"We bankers have no reason to waste money. Even if we make money from business, we still have to live a good life and leave some money on hand for emergencies." Lin Ping'er also agreed.

Bai Ruozhu glanced at her father and continued: "They all say that raising children will protect you from old age, but now the old man and the old lady definitely can't hope to live in the uncle's room. In the future, if one of them has a headache or a fever, we can't give them money." See a doctor? Even if I know how to treat a disease, I can save the consultation fee, but all the medicines cost money? Now you've wasted the money on her, what if she needs it urgently? "

Bai Yihong was already ashamed by what his daughter said. He lowered his head and said, "Ruozhu, you are right. Dad misunderstood you. Dad apologizes to you, so don't be angry with dad, okay?"

Seeing her father's humble apology, Bai Ruozhu knew that he really regretted it. She sighed and said, "Dad, I also know that you are in a dilemma, but many things have to weigh the pros and cons, and we have to think more long-term. We It looks like I’m making money right now, so I can go to the academy after my second brother. We’ll have to spend a lot of money to go to Beiyu City, so we need to live more frugally.”

"Dad, do you still remember the time I gave birth? I almost lost my life. Thanks to Mr. Du for lending us Laoshan Ginseng. Do you know how much it would have cost to buy Laoshan Ginseng if we didn't have his help at that time?" Bai Ruozhu asked again. Mentioned something.

Bai Yihong was ashamed, "You're right. Your grandma asked for one tael of filial piety money a month. It would be too ridiculous to agree casually. Dad didn't think about it for a while." Another point is that because the old man was taken away, he At first, I didn't know the real situation, and I felt a pang in my heart. I always felt that I was sorry for my parents, and that's why I had such thoughts.

Bai Ruozhu smiled, gave her father a chopstick of food, and said, "Dad, it's good if you can figure it out. Let's eat quickly. After eating, I have to go to Zhang's house to see."

Bai Zehao also quickly smoothed things over and said, "Yes, hurry up and eat, and eat more, little sister, because you have been so tired and thin lately."

Bai Ruozhu smiled sweetly at him, "Brother, don't just pick up food for the girl, but also pick up food for your wife. A man who doesn't love his wife is not a good man!"

"Ah?" Bai Zehao didn't know where the little girl came from so many reasons. Her words were quite smooth, but it was too embarrassing to say this, right?

Lin Ping'er pursed her lips and snickered, and said to Bai Zehao: "Your sister is right, please listen more to this."

Bai Zehao blushed, gave Wang Caiyue a piece of food, and said, "Caiyue, eat more, too." But compared with what he just said to Bai Ruozhu, his voice was as quiet as a mosquito's cry.

Bai Ruozhu winked at her mother. Look, her eldest brother was shy again.

Bai Zepei ate calmly, but the corners of his mouth raised slightly. Fang Guizhi from the other book glanced at him secretly and hurriedly lowered her head to continue eating. At this moment, a pair of chopsticks suddenly appeared in front of her and a piece of braised pork was put into her bowl.

"Guizhi, you should also eat more. You have been exhausted recently and you don't seem to be in good spirits." Lin Ping'er put the meat into Fang Guizhi's bowl and said.

"Well, thank you, godmother." Fang Guizhi thanked her and continued to eat.

Bai Ruozhu nudged her mother with her elbow and whispered: "Mom, don't add fat to Guizhi, she has lost weight recently."

Lin Ping'er looked at Bai Ruozhu and Fang Guizhi in surprise. What was the little girl thinking now? What should I do to lose weight? It is easier to have children when you are fat. It is not easy for farmers to gain weight.

After the meal, Bai Ruozhu left Dengdeng in the care of her mother and rushed to Zhang's house.

Zhang Liliang saw that she had come over at this time, and was very moved and said: "Ruozhu, you must be exhausted these two days, so don't rush there. I will give your aunt and Rong'er medicine to take and apply on time. They will be in good spirits." much better."

Bai Ruozhu nodded and said, "I'll feel relieved if I come to take a look. I'll go back to rest later."

After saying that, she went to the house to say hello to Rong'er and her daughter, and took their pulses respectively. The physical conditions of both of them had improved, but Aunt Zhang's condition was too serious and the improvement was not obvious.

"Don't worry too much. I've asked friends to help me get two medicinal ingredients from other places. Once I get a few more medicinal ingredients, I'll make a new ointment to ensure it heals faster." Bai Ruozhu said with a smile.

Zhang Liliang said with embarrassment: "This is really troublesome for you Ruozhu. What other medicinal materials are needed now? Otherwise, please tell me. I know a lot of people in business, and maybe I can help find them."

Bai Ruozhu thought it made sense, so she took a pen and paper and wrote the remaining names of the medicines for him. After thinking about it, she said, "These medicinal materials are a bit expensive, don't worry too much, I have some bonuses from doing business with others." , just tell me when you receive the medicinal materials."
