Chapter 2854 Spend money

Man Bao believed that she was the one with the ghost, and the two children wanted to eat more than they missed their father.

She pulled out the needles from Dahua without much expression, and said to the rich lady who had been chattering in her ear: "How much does it cost to marry a daughter-in-law in your family?"

The rich lady was startled for a moment and then said: "Including the bride price and banquet, it's still four or five taels, right?"

"Three taels!" Dahua said while lying on the bed: "The bride price is a fortune, a piece of red cloth that can be used as a wedding dress, and then some pastries and meat. The banquet costs about 1,500 yuan. The ox cart that brought me here

It was borrowed from my cousin's house, and it cost less than 3,400 yuan. According to the price of copper coins back then, it was less than 30 taels."

Rich lady: "..."

Man Bao said: "If your son is widowed, has two children, and is old, it will cost more to get married, right?"

Before the rich lady spoke, Dahua added: "It costs at least five ounces of money, and she can only be a widow, and she may also bring children. There is no need to think about the eldest daughter of the yellow flower. Who will marry the eldest daughter to be a stepmother?

?It’s not like we’re from a rich family.”

The rich woman's face turned dark. She glared at her daughter-in-law and said, "Tell me what to do. You are not going to die."

Man Bao sighed and said, "She is about to die."

The wealthy lady was stunned. When she understood what she meant, her vision went dark. When a figure reappeared in front of her eyes, she saw Zhou Man supporting her with one hand and pressing up her middle with the other.

Man Bao sighed and said, "My mother's health is also very bad."

How could the rich lady listen? She burst into tears and knelt down to Zhou Man along the edge of the bed. She grabbed Zhou Man's arms tightly with her hands and cried loudly: "Mother, Madam, Bodhisattva,

Please stretch out your hands to save my wife, and I will definitely set up a longevity tablet for you when you come back..."

Man Bao: "...I might give it a try, but I'm only 80% sure."

Although the rich lady may think she is too little, it is still better than spending a lot of money to marry another daughter-in-law, right? So she nodded repeatedly and said: "80% to 80%, please lend a hand, madam."

"How about I come here every day to give her acupuncture, and you can come back with some medicine to take along with it?"

"well."

Man Bao shouted outside, and Xi Cing immediately took out the ink, pen and paper from the medicine box and gave them to Man Bao.

Manbao wrote down a prescription and gave it to the wealthy woman, saying: "Go and get the medicine."

The rich lady wiped away her tears and took it. Then she remembered something and asked quickly: "Is this medicine expensive?"

Man Bao said: "About eighty cents."

The rich lady's eyes widened and she asked in disbelief: "Why is this medicine so expensive?"

Man Bao said: "Is it expensive? A human life is not expensive after thinking about the blood your daughter-in-law shed yesterday."

I thought so, but the rich lady still thought it was very expensive, and asked tangledly: "Can it be cheaper?"

Man Bao: "...I am not selling medicine."

She said a little unhappy: "I don't want your consultation fee anymore."

But this didn't make the rich lady feel any better. She begged, "Maybe I can change it to a cheaper prescription?"

"The most expensive part of this recipe is the ginseng root, which is used to replenish qi, and the other ingredient is angelica, which is used to replenish blood. With your daughter-in-law's condition, she can't do without either ingredient," Man Bao said: "

In fact, if you think about it on the bright side, you can take one medicine twice for one day. She can take this medicine for ten days at most. If she survives after ten days, I will give her a cheaper medicine and wait for her to take it for two months.

, people will survive completely, and it will only cost you two ounces of money. Isn’t it better than marrying another wife? "

Man Bao said: "And in your family's situation, even if you have five ounces of money, you may not be able to get a wife. Who knows if you are borrowing money?"

The rich lady only felt more uncomfortable in her heart.

She looked at Zhou Man, then at the big flower lying on the bed, and finally said distressedly: "Okay, I will buy it, I, I will buy two pairs first..."

Take it for two days first and see if it works. If not...

The rich lady reluctantly went out to buy medicine.

When Zhou Man went to see the doctor yesterday, he asked about the prices of various medicinal materials in the drug store. Most of the prices were similar to those in the capital, some were cheaper, but some were more expensive.

Man Bao thought it might be related to the distance from the place of production. Anyway, it was roughly the same, so she calculated it based on the prices in the capital.

In fact, because of the remoteness here, ginseng and angelica are more expensive, so a pair of medicine costs 86 yuan.

The rich lady's heart was trembling as she took out the money.

The rich man occasionally does odd jobs outside, carrying bags and running errands, and only earns fifteen cents a day. On a good day, he can earn eighteen cents, but his daughter-in-law has to eat up many days of his wages in one day.

How many days does this mean?

The rich lady didn't understand, so she asked the doctor who was holding her prescription and looking at it non-stop, "Doctor, my son can earn fifteen cents a day, so how many days will it take to earn enough money for this medicine?"

The doctor, who was immersed in the prescription, was startled when he heard this. Then he counted with his fingers and said uncertainly: "Five and a half days?"

He turned to look at the shopkeeper beside him.

The shopkeeper said angrily: "The workers should not eat or drink. Let's count six days."

The rich mother cried: "Yao Shou, the damn Guo family's wife, I don't know why she has such a vicious heart and is so harmful to others. She not only harmed my daughter-in-law, she also harmed my son..."

The rich lady cursed Mrs. Diao eloquently. When she saw that the shopkeeper and the doctor were all gathered together to look at the prescriptions she had brought, without even taking the money on the counter, she carefully put her hand on the edge of the copper plate and said, "Shopkeeper

, I will give you this prescription, can you make it cheaper for us?"

The shopkeeper said thoughtfully: "You gave us the prescription, what will you use next time you take medicine?"

She said confidently: "Anyway, the prescription is here with you. Just follow it and get it for me."

Anyway, she can't read, so it's useless to keep this thing in her hand. Seeing that the shopkeeper and the doctor seem to like the prescription very much, it should be... OK?

She herself was a little unsure.

The shopkeeper pondered for a while and then said: "Okay, I will give you five cents cheaper for this medicine. Next time Mr. Zhou will prescribe other medicines for you, you bring it and I will give you five cents back."

"Just give me this medicine? Will you give me the medicine when I come tomorrow?" Although the rich lady is not good at settling accounts, she is very shrewd in these matters.

The shopkeeper said: "Of course I won't give it to you. We don't earn much from this medicine. If we keep giving it to you, how much money will we make?"

Then he said: "Auntie, I am willing to spend money to buy it today because I feel sorry for you. To be honest, you have already prescribed medicine from me. We are not fools. How can we not remember it after taking it once? This prescription is good for us

It’s dispensable.”

The rich lady who still wanted to bargain further didn't dare to say anything more after hearing this. She nodded and said, "Okay."

The shopkeeper completed a deal with her. As soon as she left, the shopkeeper and the doctor immediately took the prescription and went to the backyard. The two of them got together and continued to study, "This prescription is good. In the case of a pregnant woman, just give it to me."

A whole ginseng plant may not be able to be saved, but this medicine directly saves how much money."
