The Whole Village Thrives After Adopting a Lucky Girl

The next day.

Jiang Sanlang came back from his second brother's house and said to his wife with a face of joy: "Second brother slept very deeply last night and didn't cough much. This morning his fever was gone."

"Really, oh, this is great." Chun Niang was pleasantly surprised, "Second brother, this is going to be better."

"It should be." Jiang Sanlang smiled, "The medicine prescribed yesterday still works. After one meal, I will get better."

"It's just too expensive, alas." Jiang Sanlang shook his head and sighed, "One dose is always more."

Chun Niang didn't answer, thinking that the money she spent yesterday was not enough for her feelings. If she continued to spend like this in the future, her family would not be able to survive.

But it’s impossible not to take it. Alas, I’m really worried to death.

Yingbao is also very sad.

The second uncle has a lung disease that is not easy to treat, so the medicine cannot be stopped and must be taken for three courses.

Three courses of treatment last for about forty-five days. If one dose of medicine is calculated as five days, the amount will be ten taels of silver.

Ten taels, that's ten thousand dollars. The total money of my uncle, grandparents, and father may not be ten taels.

So, where does this medicine money come from?

How about she feed her second uncle some Wudingzhi to make him get better quickly?

Although I don’t know if that thing can cure lung diseases, my second uncle has obviously improved, which means Wudingzhi should be effective.

Thinking of this, Ying Bao ran to the west room and entered the cave in an instant.

One-fifth of the Wudingzhi in the cracks in the rock wall has gone away, but it seems to have grown a lot more on the top of the cave.

But that place was too high, and no matter how hard Ying Bao tried, she couldn't get up.

Forget it, ignore it for now, wait until the ones on the rock wall are used up and then think of something else.

Ying Bao carefully picked off the Wudingzhi leaves one by one, put them in a clean pottery bowl, and stopped after picking thirty pieces.

I picked up a rolling stick and pounded them into a paste, then added some pool water and stirred, and half a bowl of transparent medicinal paste was successfully born.

At noon, Jiang Sanlang was boiling medicine in a medicine pot in the yard of his second brother's house. He saw his little girl running up and down and asked, "Have Bao'er eaten?"

"Yeah." Yingbao squatted on the ground and stared at the bubbling medicine jar and said, "My mother wants you to go home for dinner."

Mrs. Leng didn't know how to prepare meals for her third uncle. She didn't even want to boil medicine for her husband, let alone enter the room where her husband was staying.

They were probably afraid of contagion, because Dr. Li said that people who serve him in close proximity must cover their mouths and noses with a cloth.

Of course, Jiang Sanlang and Jiang Dalang didn't trust her to endure it.

After all, this woman is cold-hearted. It would be bad if she secretly hid the ginseng slices and donkey-hide gelatin in the medicine, and it's not like she has never done such a thing.

A few years ago, when Jiang Erlang fell ill, she took out the ginseng slices from the medicine bag and secretly hid them under the bed together with money and belongings. Later, Mrs. Jiang Liu accidentally discovered it and was so angry that she wanted to divorce her on the spot.

If it weren't for the fact that Er Ni was still young, she was pregnant with another child, and Jiang Erlang was desperately protecting her, Jiang Liu would definitely send her second daughter-in-law back to her parents' home that time.

It was at that time that the three Jiang brothers separated.

These things were all learned by Ying Bao from eavesdropping on her parents' conversation.

"Daddy will go home after your second uncle has finished drinking the medicine." Jiang Sanlang said, he put a piece of linen cloth on his hands, opened the lid of the medicine jar and looked at it. When he saw that it was almost done, he removed the charcoal fire and took a large pottery bowl to hold the medicine. .

The concoction was poured into the pottery bowl. Most of the bowl was dark, accompanied by a strong bitter taste.

Jiang Sanlang saw his little girl staring at the medicine bowl and was afraid that she would make trouble again, so he said, "Bao'er, go back first. Dad will be back soon."

Ying Bao blinked, "I'll wait for dad."

Jiang Sanlang had no choice but to pick up the medicine bowl and go to the west room, warning: "Then you are not allowed to be naughty."

"Bao'er is not naughty. Bao'er wants to visit his second uncle."

Ying Bao jumped up and down behind her father and ran into the west room where her second uncle lived.

In the west room, Erni was standing by the kang, talking to her father with a worried look on her face.

The little girl seemed to have grown up all of a sudden. She explained to her father in a soft voice why her mother was not at home.

"Dad, mother took her brother to her uncle's house. She said that grandma is not feeling well and she will come back after taking a look."

Jiang Erlang, who was lying on the kang, half-closed his eyes with no apparent expression. He clenched his palms feebly and said hoarsely: "I know."

Yingbao was surprised.

The second aunt, Mrs. Leng, actually took Huzi back to her parents' home at this time.

Her husband is ill. What on earth is this woman thinking?

No wonder I didn't see Huzi, he was taken away by his mother.

"Second brother, it's time to drink the medicine." Jiang Sanlang put the medicine bowl on the small table, looked back and glared at the little girl, warning her not to touch the medicine bowl, and then went to help the second brother get up.

Yingbao:.

She hasn't done anything yet.

Looking back, I saw Sister Erni, who was also looking at me and couldn't help but scratch her head.

"Sister Erni, let's go to uncle's house to find sister Danni, shall we?"

Ying Bao knew that it was impossible to secretly add Wuding Zhi into the medicine bowl, so she had to do the next best thing and invite Er Ni to find Dani.

Erni shook her head: "No, I want to take care of daddy."

Mother is not at home, and it is inconvenient for father to drink water. She must stay at home and watch over him.

Ying Bao pouted and walked out of the house in frustration.

Jiang Sanlang fed his second brother to drink the medicine, then helped him lie down and said, "Second brother, you go to sleep for a while. I'll come back as soon as I get back."

"Yes." Jiang Erlang nodded and closed his eyes.

When Jiang Sanlang came out, he saw that his daughter was like a wilting vegetable leaf. He couldn't help but smile. He knelt down and clapped his hands: "Bao'er, come here and go home with dad."

Ying Bao didn't want to go home, but there seemed to be no use staying here by herself, so she stretched out her arms and asked her father to hold her, and asked without giving up: "Dad, has the second uncle eaten? Should we bring him food?"

"Already had breakfast." Jiang Sanlang carried his daughter and walked home. "Your aunt will cook porridge and bring it over at noon. We don't need to bring it to you."

"Oh." Ying Bao was even more disappointed.

When she got home, she saw her father going to eat in the house, so she ran to her uncle's house.

As soon as he arrived at the door of his uncle's house, he saw Yuan Bao holding a stone ball in his arms and was about to go to the threshing floor to play football with several boys.

When Yuanbao saw his little cousin coming over, he thought he was reading a book like before, so he said, "Yingbao, the books are all on the table. You can read them yourself. I'm going to play football."

He has been addicted to football games recently, and even Yoyo has fallen out of favor.

Ying Bao blinked: "Where's Sister Dani?"

"Light the fire in the kitchen." After saying that, Yuan Bao had already run away.

In the kitchen, Sister Dani was indeed cooking porridge, and the sweet aroma of rice overflowed with the heat.

Ying Bao pursed her lips and smiled, and asked: "Sister Dani, are you cooking porridge?"

"Yeah." Dani nodded and specifically said, "I cooked it for my second uncle."

"Oh." Ying Bao became more and more happy and asked quickly: "Are you going to send it to your second uncle later?"

"I'll send it to you when it's cooked." Dani thought her little cousin wanted to eat, so she whispered, "I'll leave some for you later."

Ying Bao shook her head: "No, I'm full."

After a pause, he said, "Can I help you serve the porridge?"

Dani didn't understand why her little cousin wanted to help her serve the porridge, but she nodded: "Okay, then be careful and don't spill it."

"It won't spill." Ying Bao stood up on tiptoes excitedly and looked at the steaming pot. She gestured and saw that she couldn't reach the pot base, so she quickly moved a stool and placed it next to the stove.

After a while, the porridge was cooked. Dani turned off the fire, brought a jar, and a large bamboo spoon, and opened the pot.

A stream of white steam wrapped in the rich aroma of rice hits your face.

Yingbao was afraid that Dani would regret it, so she immediately grabbed the bamboo spoon in her hand and stood on the stool.

Dani:.

Ying Bao avoided Dani's strange eyes, scooped up the porridge with a bamboo spoon, and poured it into the jar.
