Chapter 309

~8 min read 1,450 words

When Jiang Wei walked out of the room, Liu Dahu and the Lizheng were waiting anxiously in the courtyard.

"Xiaoxiao's mother, how is it? San Niang's illness..."

The Lizheng was just about to ask, when Jiang Wei said calmly: "She is already fine. Now I will write a prescription. You take it to the town to get the medicine, take it three times a day, and she will be completely cured after half a month."

Antibiotics only temporarily suppressed the bacteria; to completely cure it, it had to be supplemented with corresponding decoctions.

"Good, good, good." The Lizheng nodded repeatedly in agreement.

Liu Dahu had already gone into the room to get paper and a brush.

Jiang Wei wrote the prescription and handed it to the Lizheng, and also urged: "After the decoction is boiled, it's best for your whole family to drink it a few times as well, to avoid mutual infection."

"Thank you so much, Xiaoxiao's mother, you are truly the benefactor of our Liu Family." The Lizheng took the prescription with gratitude and handed it to Liu Dahu. He walked fast, and if he took advantage of the early time, he should be able to get the medicine before the pharmacy closed.

Jiang Wei looked at the anxious Liu Dahu and then at the sun that had passed the afternoon. It had been getting dark early recently, and if he walked to the town, he might not be able to make it back before dark.

"Liu Dahu, do you know how to drive a horse carriage? If you do, take my family's horse carriage to the town, it will be faster."

Liu Dahu didn't expect Jiang Wei to be willing to lend him the horse carriage, and was instantly moved, nodding repeatedly: "I do, I do, driving a horse carriage is a small matter, I still know how."

Jiang Wei led him home to get the horse carriage.

The moment he sat on the horse carriage, Liu Dahu secretly swore in his heart that if San Niang's illness was cured this time, from now on, as long as it was the Jiang family's business, he, Liu Dahu, would definitely not refuse even if it meant death!

Jiang Xiaoxiao saw that her mother had returned, so she hurriedly asked what had happened at the Lizheng's house.

Jiang Wei told her about Liu Dahu's wife having lung consumption.

Hearing the words "lung consumption," Jiang Xiaoxiao's heart skipped a beat.

This illness, lung consumption, although a small illness in the modern era, in ancient times, once it became contagious, it could cost lives!

"Mother, do you have any confidence in curing her illness?" Jiang Xiaoxiao couldn't help but ask.

She was really too worried. In this ancient era with backward medical care, if it became contagious, no one in their village would survive.

Jiang Wei was using alcohol from the space to wipe and disinfect her hands, and hearing this, she said: "Don't worry, I still have some antibiotics specifically for this illness stored in my space. San Niang's illness has already been suppressed, and with the prescription I left behind, she will be fine in less than half a month."

Hearing this, Jiang Xiaoxiao finally breathed a sigh of relief. It was good to have antibiotics.

Fortunately, she had this omnipotent mother.

After asking about the Lizheng's house, Jiang Xiaoxiao told her about Wu Sanshen coming to the house earlier.

Jiang Wei sneered: "So she finally couldn't hold back anymore."

Jiang Xiaoxiao rested her chin on her hand and sighed: "Mother, do we have any way to deal with her?"

Their soap formula was not afraid of thieves stealing it, but afraid of thieves thinking about it.

Although this Wu Sanshen couldn't make any big waves, there was no reason to guard against thieves for a thousand days. It was best to solve the matter as soon as possible, otherwise, it would be quite nerve-wracking to be on guard all day.

Jiang Wei pondered for a while, looking at the carriage wheel tracks outside the courtyard, and suddenly a plan came to her mind.

"I have a way. Let's lure the snake out of its hole."

Time soon arrived at the next day.

Just after finishing lunch, the courtyard gate was knocked on.

Jiang Xuelian, who was washing bowls in the courtyard, heard the sound, hurriedly wiped the water off, and ran to open the door.

Opening the door to look, it was Liu Dahu.

He was leading the horse carriage, his face filled with unstoppable excitement and joy.

"Is Xiaoxiao's mother at home?" He hurriedly asked, "I'm here to return the horse carriage."

"She is."

Once bitten, twice shy; Jiang Xuelian didn't hesitate this time and let him in.

Jiang Xiaoxiao and Jiang Wei, who heard the movement, also happened to come out of the main room.

As soon as Liu Dahu saw Jiang Wei, he became even more excited: "Xiaoxiao's mother, the medicine you prescribed is truly miraculous. San Niang drank the medicine last night, and her whole person is much more energetic. This morning, she was even able to get out of bed and walk, and she didn't cough up blood anymore... Xiaoxiao's mother, you are truly a divine physician!"

Even the illness that the doctors in the city couldn't cure was actually cured by Xiaoxiao's mother. His father was right, Xiaoxiao's mother was truly an omnipotent person!

"Xiaoxiao's mother, San Niang being able to survive this time is really thanks to you. This is a little token of our family's appreciation..." Liu Dahu said, while reaching into his bosom to take out a cloth bag.

The cloth bag was heavy, filled with copper coins and broken silver.

This was all the money their family could scrape together.

Jiang Wei, however, didn't take the cloth bag and only said calmly: "The money is unnecessary. I didn't treat your family's illness for money. If you want to thank me, why not help me handle a matter?"

Liu Dahu was stunned: "W-what matter?"

Jiang Wei let Liu Dahu enter the room.

Jiang Xuelian left very tactfully to go to the kitchen to make tea.

This was the first time Liu Dahu had entered the Jiang family's main room; it was spacious and bright, even better-looking than he had imagined.

He swallowed his saliva and said somewhat uncomfortably: "Xiaoxiao's mother, if you have anything, just say it. Even if it's climbing a mountain of knives or descending into a sea of fire, I, Liu Dahu, will handle the matter properly for you."

Jiang Wei curled her lips: "Climbing a mountain of knives or descending into a sea of fire is unnecessary. I want you to go to Xuzhou in my place."

"Xuzhou?" Liu Dahu was stunned, then patted his chest and guaranteed: "No problem, when are we leaving?"

"Leaving tomorrow. Take a boat from the Yong'an Town wharf, and you will arrive at the Xuzhou wharf in three days at the latest. You help me transport a batch of goods over there. After arriving at the wharf, naturally, someone will receive you."

Speaking to the end, Jiang Wei suddenly narrowed her eyes, "But there is one point: when you leave tomorrow, you cannot let people know that it is you going to Xuzhou, but me."

"Ah?" Liu Dahu didn't understand Jiang Wei's meaning and asked with a puzzled face: "What do you mean, Xiaoxiao's mother? Could it be that I have to pretend to be you to go to Xuzhou?"

"That's right." Jiang Wei nodded, "There is a snake hidden in the house. I have to pretend to leave to lure this snake out."

"Is that so..." Liu Dahu sized up the spacious and bright main room and sighed helplessly: "Sigh, I didn't expect that such a big house would also attract snakes. But then again, your house is located near the back mountain, so it's normal to have some snakes, insects, rats, and ants."

Jiang Xiaoxiao, who was listening on the side, couldn't help but laugh.

This Liu Dahu was someone who loved his wife, but he was a bit too simple-minded.

In the following time, Jiang Wei also explained some matters about transporting soap to Liu Dahu.

Liu Dahu wrote them all down one by one.

When he was about to leave at the end, Jiang Xiaoxiao suddenly spoke: "By the way, Uncle Dahu, when did Auntie's illness start?"

"About two months ago." Liu Dahu said, "At that time, I accompanied my wife back to her maternal home. Her hometown is in the south. We went by horse carriage. Everything was fine when we went, but who knew that on the way back, we encountered many refugees..."
