Chapter 181 Returning Home
Medical clinic.
Doctor Ding took Tang Yichen's pulse, looked at his face, and said, "Young man, have you been staying up late reading books recently?"
Tang Yichen: “…”
Tang Yi smiled and said, "Brother, you have to take care of your health."
"Doctor, is my son okay?" Tang Dafu asked.
"A little worse than you."
"Better than me?" Tang Dafu was shocked. "My leg injury is so severe, and he's even worse than me. How bad must that be?"
"You can eat and sleep well, talk in your sleep and even call your wife. He has caught a cold and has lost his appetite in the past few days. Isn't he a little worse off than you?"
Everyone in the Tang family: "..."
They finally realized that Dr. Ding was just a naughty boy who liked to play tricks on others.
"Brother, come back and stay with me for a few days. It's a good opportunity for you to recuperate. I think with your abilities, there's no need to put so much pressure on yourself. Just think of it as relaxing before the exam."
Tang Yichen didn't understand what Qin Huiyin meant by "mental state", but he understood one thing, which was that he should relax during this period of time and not push himself too hard.
"Okay, it's up to you."
"We'll pack a few sets of clothes to take back later, but leave the rest of your stuff. You'll have to come back to continue studying after the exam, and it'll be troublesome to move things around."
Doctor Ding prescribed medicine for Tang Yichen. Because they were his apprentice's family, he waived the consultation fee and only charged for the medicine.
When Qin Huiyin paid the money, she asked about Tang Yixiao's academic performance. When Tang Yixiao was mentioned, Doctor Ding became excited.
"This kid is a natural born doctor. His sense of smell and taste are the best I've ever seen. If he learns from me, he'll definitely become a world-renowned doctor in due time."
Doctor Ding's handsome face flushed red, his eyes widened, and his expression was extremely excited. If there were no pyramid schemes in ancient times, Qin Huiyin would have wanted to report the case to the police.
Tang Yi smiled shyly and murmured, "Master, stop talking."
"Why don't you say it? It's true that you have talent, but talent alone isn't enough. You need to study hard. A few days ago, I asked you to memorize the Medicinal Classic, but after several days, you've only memorized half of it. When will you be able to recite it fluently?" Doctor Ding said seriously, "Your father's legs are almost gone. This time, let your sister take your father and your eldest brother away. No one will bother you anymore, and you can memorize it with peace of mind."
Tang Dafu: “…”
He might as well just say that his presence affected Xiaoge'er's studies.
"My legs still hurt." Tang Dafu complained, "You said before that I would go back when I was well. Now I'm not well yet. If something goes wrong when I go back, will you still take responsibility?"
"Don't you miss your wife? Your wife is so beautiful, many people must be thinking about her, right?" Doctor Ding said slowly.
Tang Dafu: "...I have nothing to do here anyway. It's boring to lie here all day. I can walk around now, so I'll go back and take care of it!"
Qin Huiyin and Tang Yichen brothers: "..."
I really didn't see it.
After getting the medicine, Qin Huiyin borrowed the medicine stove to boil some medicine for Tang Yichen to reduce his fever first.
Seeing that it was getting late, they had to hurry back. They said goodbye to Doctor Ding and Tang Yi with a smile, and left in the ox cart and on the mule.
Tang Dafu waved the whip and drove the ox cart excitedly.
"Uncle Tang, don't hit it so hard. This old ox is old and can't walk fast." Qin Huiyin said, "By the way, stop at the fork in the road ahead. I want to go to my aunt's house."
"What are you doing at his house?" Tang Dafu frowned. "I'm not at home. Is she being bullied by Deng Gui again?"
"It's not a big deal. It's been resolved anyway. If you want to know anything, go back and ask my mother. You also want to talk to my mother more, right?" Qin Huiyin said.
"That's right." Tang Dafu was happy again.
"How are you going to get to their village?"
"Ride a mule!" Qin Huiyin said, "A mule is faster than an ox cart. Don't worry, I know what to do."
"I'm worried." Tang Yichen refused, "I'll go with you."
"You're so sick, don't make things worse." Zhang Dazhu said, "I'll go with Sister Huiyin."
"Brother Dazhu, thank you for your help." Tang Yichen said, "The Deng family is unreasonable. I'm worried that Yinyin will suffer if she faces them alone. If you are here to take care of her, they won't dare to do it."
"Sister Huiyin is my benefactor. I will definitely take good care of her, don't worry!" Zhang Dazhu patted his chest and promised.
Carpenter Zhang gave the mule to Qin Huiyin. Qin Huiyin and Zhang Dazhu each rode a mule and left separately from the others.
Mules are more docile than donkeys, faster than cows, and more endurance than horses. For them, they are the best partners. However, it was Qin Huiyin's first time riding a mule. Although she didn't get thrown off, she didn't dare to go too fast.
Before I even reached Deng's house, I heard the noise coming from there.
"Tell me the truth, where did that little girl go?" The voice of Old Lady Deng came over.
"Shaoniao really went to inquire about the news of Da Niu and Er Niu." Tang Caiyun said fearfully, "Mom, Shaoyao is my only daughter left. Please don't sell her. I beg you."
"Your husband owes the gambling house ten taels of silver. If he doesn't pay it back, they'll chop off his hands." Old Lady Deng sneered. "Besides, which girl in Baihua Pavilion doesn't have a good life? We've already made an agreement with Baihua Pavilion's mother. We'll sell Shaoyao for ten taels of silver, and she'll train her to sing. When she grows up, she can become a geisha and won't have to serve men anymore."
"Although I am stupid, I also know that I have no right to speak once I enter a place like that. If you want to force Shaoyao, just kill me first." Tang Caiyun burst into tears.
"You think I don't dare?" Deng Gui rushed out. "If I can't survive, neither can you. Others raise chickens and they lay eggs, but you can't even lay a penis. I've been fed up with you for a long time. You cry and cry, and you look so sad all day long, as if your parents have died. You've brought bad luck upon me, so I can't win."
Zhang Dazhu was furious as he listened to the cursing inside: "They are really going too far."
"Brother Dazhu, there's no need to be angry about them. My aunt is a tortoise. She doesn't feel anything when she hears things that would make others angry. None of us can save her unless she saves herself."
Qin Huiyin knocked on the gate: "Aunt, I'm Yinyin, are you in there?"
The cursing inside stopped.
After a while, Tang Caiyun opened the door with red eyes and forced a smile that was uglier than crying: "Yinyin, why are you here? Come in and sit down."
"No need, I just came to pass on a message." Qin Huiyin said, "Cousin Shaoyao has entered the county government office and is now the head maidservant of the county magistrate."
