Chapter 412

"You absolutely cannot stop buying medicine just to save money."

"If you don't apply medicine, not only will it heal slowly, but it's also easy to get infected, causing more serious consequences."

The doctor urged Jia Zhangshi.

Jia Zhangshi nodded, went out with Jia Dongxu, paid the examination fees, didn't buy the medicine, and pulled Jia Dongxu away.

"Mom, why didn't you buy the medicine?"

Jia Dongxu was very puzzled.

"What do you know?"

"The medicine here is too expensive; I have a place to buy medicine that is much cheaper than this."

"You go back first, I'll go buy the medicine myself."

Jia Zhangshi sent Jia Dongxu away.

She strolled along and soon arrived under a bridge.

There were people setting up stalls, fortune tellers, medicine sellers, and people selling small items.

She found a medicine stall.

"Comrade, you've been scalded, haven't you?"

"I saw it at a glance; a hand scald, just right—I have ancestral scald medicine."

"Take it back and apply it once every night; you must use it at midnight, when yin and yang intersect, as that's when the effect is best!"

The medicine seller saw the examination sheet in Jia Zhangshi's hand at a glance.

He deliberately looked straight ahead, pretending he hadn't seen anything.

Jia Zhangshi didn't notice either.

"Really?"

"How much?"

Jia Zhangshi's eyes lit up.

This medicine seller was truly amazing!

She had just arrived and hadn't said anything, yet the seller had seen it.

With such great ability, the medicine he sold must be good.

"Talking about money is too vulgar."

"However, I am also a person, and I also need to eat and drink!"

"I'll just symbolically charge you a little: five mao, take this bottle, and it'll be wrapped up well!"

The medicine seller handed the glass bottle to Jia Zhangshi.

Five mao?

Jia Zhangshi smiled happily.

The medicine prescribed by the doctor cost three yuan, and that was just for one course of treatment; the doctor said that if the effect wasn't ideal, there would be a second course.

But the medicine seller only wanted five mao and guaranteed it would be good!

"Can it be any cheaper?"

Jia Zhangshi was insatiable.

"Sigh, I am also practicing medicine to save the world; seeing that your family situation isn't rich, I'll give you a cheaper price: four mao, not a cent less!"

The medicine seller gritted his teeth.

Jia Zhangshi smiled, took out four mao, threw it down, and picked up the medicine bottle and left, fearing the seller would go back on his word.

Just as Jia Zhangshi left.

The medicine seller packed up his stall and prepared to move to another location!

"I can have a good meal tonight!"

The medicine seller was very happy.

At this time.

At the six acres.

Yi Zhonghai and the other three began their labor reform.

Cai Quanwu assigned the tasks.

"We are going to dig a water channel today!"

"Follow me; start from under my feet, dig along the line I drew, and each person is responsible for ten meters; no one is allowed to slack off, do you understand?"

Cai Quanwu assigned the tasks.

Yi Zhonghai took a look; there were indeed lines drawn on the ground.

He just had to dig along the lines.

"Nothing difficult about this!"

Yi Zhonghai smiled.

Being a fitter is physical work, but also technical work.

Digging a drainage channel is purely physical work; just dig according to the drawn lines.

"Yi Zhonghai, come, start from here!"

Cai Quanwu stuck a small stick into the ground, measured ten meters with a ruler, and stuck another small stick, marking what Yi Zhonghai had to dig.

Yi Zhonghai nodded.

When he first arrived, he was worried that Wan Ping'an would deliberately retaliate.

It seemed he had thought too much.

The tools were the same, the drainage channel being dug was the same, and the length each person was responsible for was the same; he couldn't see any tricks.

He thought the next one would be Liu Haizhong.

But the next section was someone he didn't recognize—it was one of Cai Quanwu's subordinates, not Liu Haizhong.

The three Elders were separated.

Yi Zhonghai didn't care.

Separated is separated!

"Old Brother Cai, is everything arranged?"

Xu Fugui came to Cai Quanwu's side.

"Everything is arranged; just wait to see a good show!"

Cai Quanwu laughed.

Yi Zhonghai was Wan Ping'an's enemy, so naturally, Cai Quanwu wouldn't let him be comfortable while he was here for labor reform.

The trick was in a place Yi Zhonghai couldn't see!

Digging began!

Everyone was working with great enthusiasm.

"Yi Zhonghai, don't you slack off."

"Whatever others do, you do the same; this isn't deliberately making things difficult for you."

Xu Fugui supervised Yi Zhonghai.

He didn't pay much attention to Liu Haizhong and Yan Fugui, focusing instead on Yi Zhonghai.

"Have I done less than the others?"

Yi Zhonghai snorted coldly.

He could naturally guess why Xu Fugui had come—it was to watch him make a fool of himself.

He wouldn't let Xu Fugui watch him make a fool of himself.

And he wouldn't slack off and give Xu Fugui a chance.

*Boom! *

Just as he finished speaking.

Yi Zhonghai's pickaxe bounced up.

Yi Zhonghai had no defense, his arms were shaken numb, and his head hit the handle of the pickaxe.

He sat on the ground with a thud, feeling dizzy.

"Haha, First Elder, did you get your retribution?"

Xu Fugui came over and mocked him.
