Farmhouse Green Plum

Chapter 160: Short-term Work

As he was speaking, he saw Xiaoxiang coming out from the corner.

"Xiaoxiang!" Song Ying trotted forward, "How have you been these past two days? Hey, why is your face so red?"

"Do you have a fever?" Luo Yanxing also ran over and asked with concern.

Thinking about how Xiaoxiang had been kneeling all night the night before, Song Ying was very worried, so he reached out to touch Xiaoxiang's forehead, but Xiaoxiang turned her head away and dodged.

"No, no need. I'm fine." Xiaoxiang waved her hands with difficulty, turned around and was about to leave.

From her weak tone, anyone could tell she was sick.

"You're like this, and you still say it's okay!" Song Ying grabbed her and touched her forehead, which was very hot.

"You're so feverish! This is not good. We need to go see a doctor right away. Yanxing and I are going to the county. You can come with us."

As she spoke, she was about to pull Xiaoxiang towards the county.

Xiaoxiang raised her arms and struggled to break free from her support. However, because her feet were weak, she staggered a few times and almost fell down.

Song Ying and Luo Yanxing hurriedly tried to help her, but she refused: "I really don't need it, please go now."

After saying that, he turned around and staggered away.

"You're already so sick. No matter how scared you are of your parents, you have to take care of your own life first!" Song Ying was so angry that he was about to chase after him, but his arm was grabbed by Luo Yanxing.

She turned her head and looked at Luo Yanxing with some confusion.

Luo Yanxing frowned and said softly, "Don't try to persuade her. Her parents probably don't want her to have any contact with us."

Song Ying suddenly recalled what happened yesterday. Yanxing's mother, Wang, had directly forbade Yanxing to be with her. Although the others did not say it explicitly, they implied the same meaning in their words and deeds. They should have also privately told their daughters not to associate with her.

Yesterday afternoon, Zhao Xiaocui and her friends were able to go to Songlinpo as usual to meet her. It was obvious that after Luo Yanxing's incident, the attitudes of the various families had changed.

Song Ying thought that the situation was the same in Xiaoxiang's family, but now it seems that is not the case.

She did not continue to chase after him. She just watched Xiaoxiang stagger away and shouted, "Little drooping chrysanthemum, boil it and take it."

After learning how to identify herbs, Luo Yanxing immediately understood what kind of herb she was talking about. The so-called small drooping chrysanthemum is a very common small yellow flower on the roadside. It is in bloom these days. Before they learned how to identify herbs, they always thought it was a wild flower.

"That will reduce the fever?"

Song Ying nodded: "It can dispel wind and heat, promote diuresis and reduce swelling."

The book "Collection of Hundred Medicinal Herbs" not only records the basic shape characteristics of various herbs, but also some of their efficacy.

She memorized the entire "Collection of Hundred Medicinal Herbs" so that she could easily name the fever-reducing herbs that were easy to find recently.

Seeing her worried face, Luo Yanxing comforted her: "Don't worry, Xiaoxiang knows Xiaodrooping Chrysanthemum, everything will be fine."

At this moment, Zhao Xiaocui's angry voice came from the side: "Why do you still care about her? If it weren't for her, how could we... end up like this now."

Song and Luo turned their heads and looked at Zhao Xiaocui carrying a hoe and coming out of her house, obviously going to work in the fields.

"Xiaoxiang is because..."

"Goose flight!"

Song Ying stopped Luo Yanxing from explaining that the incident of Zhao Hu pushing his daughter into the lotus pond was too big to be known to everyone.

Luo Yanxing also understood this truth, and after being reminded by Song Ying, he stopped the words that were about to come out of his mouth in time.

"Why?" Zhao Xiaocui became curious.

"She is the most timid, you know that." Song Ying spoke first, explained, and immediately said goodbye, "We have to go to the county today, we have to leave quickly, if we don't leave now, the sun will be high soon."

As she spoke, she pulled Luo Yanxing towards her new home.

When they arrived at her house, they each packed their herbs and headed for the county town.

After walking for a while in silence, Luo Yanxing was really angry at her for not fighting back, and said angrily: "Things are different now, even Meiyue and Nanxing understand this truth and try hard to fight for it with their family, why doesn't Xiaoxiang understand it?

Where was she yesterday morning? Didn't she hear what you said? No, we have to find a way to tell her.

Things are different now. We can make money by identifying herbs, and her parents won't do anything to her easily!"

Xiaoxiang's house and Zhao Xiaocui's house are separated by a wall. Normally, they wouldn't be able to hear what was going on outside. But considering that Xiaoxiang had a fever, it's possible that she didn't know what happened outside yesterday.

Song Ying nodded and said, "Okay, let's go back and think of a solution. The most urgent thing now is to reduce the fever. When we get to the clinic, we will ask Doctor Ma. Maybe he has a better way to reduce the fever."

"Then walk faster."

The two of them almost jogged all the way into the city and headed straight for the clinic.

"Sister Song, you're here! I just have something to tell you." Lin Wenxuan said happily as soon as they met.

"what is the matter?"

"There's a job, see if you want to do it."

"Work?" Song Ying was stunned. "What kind of work? Collecting herbs?"

Lin Wenxuan smiled and said, "No, my aunt is in Shen Mansion treating the health of Shun'an County Lady, and she needs a temporary worker who knows medicine to help cook medicinal food.

Your new home hasn't been renovated yet. While you're working in Shen's mansion, you can live there and slowly repair your home, and then move back in when it's done.

Moreover, the Shen family was very generous this time, and the wages of the temporary workers were the same as those of second-class maids, one hundred yuan!"

"One hundred dollars!" Song Ying and Luo Yanxing exclaimed in unison.

Nowadays, one string of copper coins is equivalent to eight hundred wen, which is one tael of silver, but sometimes there will be fluctuations and it may not be able to be exchanged for one tael of silver.

Nowadays, one string of copper coins is equal to eight hundred wen, which is equivalent to one tael of silver. However, there may be fluctuations sometimes and it may not be able to be exchanged for one tael of silver. However, eight hundred wen is also a lot!

The salary is really high!

Song Ying was very tempted, but still hesitated, "But I don't understand medical theory, and isn't it just right for you to go?"

"It's not convenient for me, a man from outside, to stay in the inner courtyard. I need a girl. It's okay if I don't know medical knowledge. The main thing is to know how to distinguish medicinal materials. My aunt has medical knowledge. If you don't understand anything, just ask her."

Song Ying was even more excited. If he could ask his great-aunt about medical knowledge, would that mean she was studying medicine?

Last time, Mr. He asked Doctor Ma to go to the countryside to treat He Tianyu, but it cost 5 taels of silver a day!

Although that was a special case and the clinic normally does not have this kind of income, the price of a prescription of medicine is not low, and there is also the consultation fee. Being a doctor can make more money than collecting herbal medicine!

"Is your aunt the one who was at the clinic on New Year's Day?"

"You still remember it. Yes, it's her." Lin Wenxuan was surprised at Song Ying's attentiveness. He just mentioned it once at that time, but she still remembered it after such a long time.

Song Ying nodded immediately: "Okay! I'm willing to go!"

Luo Yanxing tugged at her sleeve and reminded her, "Shouldn't you discuss this with your grandmother and the others?"

Song Ying hesitated for a moment and said, "Don't talk about it yet. We are still vomiting anger now."

The most important thing is, if Li and the others don’t agree, she will miss this opportunity.

You have to take advantage of the moment to vent your anger so that you will have an excuse later.
