Chapter 16 The body, hair and skin are affected by the parents

Shopkeeper Wan was preaching to his son. When he saw Nanzhi and his party coming back, he let his son go and greeted them: "Madam, are you done with your work?"

"I'm going to trouble the shopkeeper soon."

Shopkeeper Wan waved his hand, "It's okay, it should be."

"Shopkeeper, I wonder if you have any other seasonings here." Nanzhi seemed to suddenly remember something, so she said that she had forgotten something. If there were really any other seasonings, she wouldn't have to follow the dog.

My son always eats boiled vegetables.

All the other heroines in the time travel had no worries about food and drink, and the worst were the parents-in-law. Not only did she become a widow, but she almost starved to death. Now that she has some money in her hands, God probably won't let her live forever.

Shall we eat boiled vegetables?

In this world, even potatoes and sweet potatoes are available, but other seasonings and spices are not lacking.

"Seasoning?" Shopkeeper Wan didn't understand for a moment, searching carefully for the meaning of these three words in his mind.

But the young man spoke up, "There's soy sauce, Sichuan peppercorns, vinegar, and five-spice powder."

Nanzhi's eyes widened suddenly. Is there any five-spice powder here?

The young man didn't say anything when he saw Nanzhi's appearance. He went to get a bag of five-spice powder and handed it to Nanzhi.

"Here, ten cents a tael, four cents a tael for Sichuan peppercorns, soy sauce and vinegar are both ten cents a bamboo tube."

"Yes, I want two ounces of five-spice powder, two ounces of peppercorns, two bamboo tubes each of soy sauce and vinegar."

After buying the seasoning, Nanzhi almost had the word satisfaction written on her face. She just said, how could God be so cruel?

Aunt Liu carefully thought about whether she still had these things at home, then weighed the remaining money, and finally gritted her teeth and bought some.

The young boy seemed to be more skillful than Shopkeeper Wan. Seeing that they bought a lot, he each grabbed half a catty of dried chili peppers and gave them to them.

Now that there is a drought and it is extremely hot, almost no one is willing to buy dried chili peppers. If they are left open any longer, I am afraid they will get insects, so it is better to give them away. My sister just listened to my father’s wishes and helped me give some away.

Dry spicy food is fine.

After loading all the things into the car, in the end the donkey cart at Aunt Liu's house could only accommodate the dog, and the group of people, including the boy who delivered the goods, could only walk behind the group of people.

He asked why Dad had to talk for a long time when he wanted to deliver something.

I met some people with unkind eyes along the way. They looked at the grain bags on the two cars and were ready to take action. However, when they saw the three strong men following the two cars and the one holding a whip in his hand, they

The young man only withdrew his gaze.

Those three men were tall and strong, and looked untouchable. They couldn't be compared with the families we met in the morning. Anyway, we succeeded today, so there was no need to take risks.

Before leaving town, the three Shen brothers listened to their grandma's words and had to look at everyone with a straight face as if they were seeing their grandpa.

This made the three honest men look grim all the way.

Shen Dazhu and Aunt Liu are both kind-hearted people. It's a pity that Shen Dazhu's father is not clear about it. He listened to a second-rate liar and insisted that Aunt Liu stole someone outside. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the three brothers of the Shen family have something to do with Shen Dazhu.

They look alike, but his father doesn't believe him.

Shen Dazhu had to let Shen Dazhu divorce the Liu family. Shen Dazhu was not a foolish and filial person. He separated the family with his wife and children in tears. At that time, Shen Yuntian was not yet one month old, and the Liu family was still confinement. After the separation, she only had two children.

Acres of land and some rags.

As a result, except for Shen Dazhu who went to give some gifts during the New Year and holidays, everyone else just pretended that there was no one from that household.

It was also because Nanzhi's parents-in-law helped a lot when Shen Dazhu and his wife and children first separated, so the relationship between the two families was particularly good.

Although the adults were all walking, it only took the group less than half an hour to reach Lihua Village without carrying any weight.

Now everyone in the village followed Li Zheng to Dongshan to pick chestnuts, and they didn't meet anyone along the way.

After moving all the things into the house, Nanzhi poured tea for the boy who delivered the goods before sending him away.

There are many disputes at the widow's door, but Nanzhi still knows this.

Looking at the food piled in the yard, Nanzhi almost cried. A few days ago, she could only rely on water to fill her stomach. Now the food at home is not enough for herself and the dog.

The dog stood aside and saw his mother-in-law crying and laughing while holding the grain bag. He quickly put down the five-spice powder in his hand and ran over to touch his mother's forehead.

It doesn't feel hot to the touch, and grandma is not sick, so why is grandma so stupid?

The dog fell into deep thought, shook his head again, and tugged at Nanzhi's sleeve.

"Aniang, Aniang, are you stupid?"

Hearing the soft voice of the little baby, Nanzhi seemed to suddenly come back to his senses. He reached out and picked up the dog: "Dog, we don't have to starve."

The Nanzhi and Aunt Liu families are busy on their own, but the Li family is not doing so well.

Last night, Mrs. Wu said she would take them up the mountain to pick chestnuts, and the whole family followed her to Dongshan.

As a result, after wandering around the mountain for half a night and finding nothing, the whole family lost patience and turned back down the mountain. As a result, Old Man Li was bitten by a poisonous snake that came out of nowhere on the way down the mountain. The whole family was in chaos.

Only then did Wu's handkerchief fall on Dongshan.

After finally getting down the mountain, the whole family hurriedly took Old Man Li to the town medical center.

As a result, we arrived early and there was no one in the hospital. Wu's mother-in-law, Mrs. Wang, was reluctant to give up the money and went to the inn. The whole family, including the half-dead old man Li, lay outside the hospital all night.

I spent the whole morning in the hospital. Mrs. Wang asked Li Tian's sister-in-law Liu to buy some black-faced steamed buns for everyone to have for lunch. She happened to meet people from Lihua Village who came to the town to buy food. Only then did they find out.

Li Zheng asked me to buy more grain.

Mrs. Liu hesitated for a moment before telling Mrs. Wang, but she was scolded again and she just lowered her head and listened without saying a word.

The doctor at Jishitang gave him a silver needle and said it could be cured, but if he wanted to save his leg, he would have to spend at least three taels of silver.

After hearing this, no one in the family said a word, and the mother-in-law was in charge of all the money in the family.

The family obviously has no shortage of money, but they can't even eat meat a few times throughout the year. Even this time when Old Man Li asked for money to treat his leg, Mrs. Wang didn't say anything.

Old Man Li was given an injection and woke up early, but he still felt that he had no strength and could not open his eyes. However, when he heard that the doctor said that he would pay three taels of silver for the consultation, his wife did not respond, and she felt cold for a while.

Even his two sons, whom he considered the most filial, didn't say a word.

"Can you cure me?" the doctor at the medical center asked with a frown. With so many people in our family, we can't even afford three taels of silver, right?

Although the injured man looked to be in his fifties, he had a strong body. If he was not cured, he would not know how he would survive without a leg.

After all, it is said that one's body and skin are affected by one's parents, and one's legs will be lost when one gets old...

The doctor shook his head and turned around to continue seeing the doctor. The family was probably poor and had no money.

"mother……"

Mrs. Liu just opened her mouth and Mrs. Wang glared back fiercely. She just flinched, lowered her head and stopped talking.

Li Liang gently hugged his wife and said with some displeasure, "Mom, Hui'er is right, why are you glaring at her? Dad is still strong now, and it's not like our family can't spare three taels of silver for his treatment.

leg."

"What do you know? Who knows if that doctor is trying to defraud us of our money? Isn't it just a snake bite? I'm going to lose a leg somewhere, and I need three taels of silver for just one mouthful..." Mrs. Wang spat, not saying anything.

Don't care about the people around you.

The doctor at the medical center was initially sympathetic, but after hearing Mrs. Wang's words, his face turned completely dark, and he just asked the waiter to drive Li Tian's family out.
