Chapter 246 Please go to the Lin family to talk
Song Yuntang looked at the young boy in front of him who was only eleven or twelve years old.
"If that's the case, wouldn't you be at a loss?"
Li Xiuqi smiled.
"Sister is my benefactor. It's not a big deal for the Li family to suffer a little loss. Besides, with your medical skills, it's not certain whether you will suffer any loss."
"The Li family boy is small in stature, but he is very good at calculating." Yao led Baosheng and Baozhu out of the city gate.
Li Xiuqi saw the person coming and hurriedly saluted.
"Xiu Qi greets the County Magistrate's wife."
Song Yuntang also hurriedly jumped off the carriage and bowed in the direction of Yao.
"Why is Madam here too?"
He then gave the coachman ten copper coins and asked him to stay here for a while.
The coachman had no complaints after receiving the reward, and simply pulled the carriage to the side of the road to avoid affecting other people and carriages entering and leaving the city.
Yao looked at Song Yuntang with a smile.
"Yesterday, when I was playing mahjong, I mentioned Miss Song's name to those ladies. These days, there are very few female doctors, and there are even fewer female doctors with superb medical skills like Miss Song. After hearing about Miss Song's name, those ladies wanted to invest money to help her open a clinic. I wonder what Miss Song means by that?"
Song Yuntang didn't expect to encounter such a thing.
"I wonder what those ladies mean? Do they want to open a clinic with me, or hire me as a doctor?"
“Naturally, the former is more common.”
"If everyone wants to get involved, I don't want to let them suffer losses. However, if I only open a clinic, more people will join in, and with just one shop, the dividends distributed to everyone won't be much."
She looked at the two of them and said, "Well, I'll think about it carefully after I get back to see if it's feasible. I still have to deliver a truckload of medicinal herbs back to Cile Town today, so I won't talk to you two any more. We can discuss it in detail next time I come to the county."
As she spoke, she handed the box back to Li Xiuqi.
"Mr. Li, please take this contract back first. Since so many ladies in the county want to participate, I can't favor one over the other. I won't consider the contents of the contract for now."
Li Xiuqi took the box.
"Okay, when Sister Song has made up her mind, please go to the Li Mansion and let me know."
Yao added, "This year's drought has been severe, and the people's harvests have been poor. Especially since the government started collecting taxes, the county government has received a number of robberies and robberies in the past two days. Miss Song, please be careful on your way back."
"Thank you, Madam Zhu, for the reminder."
Song Yuntang got on the carriage, said goodbye to the two of them, and left.
Thinking of what Yao had just said to her, she took out the medicine powder from her sleeve pocket and held it in her hand. From time to time, she opened the curtains of the carriage to observe the situation outside, and urged the coachman to drive the carriage faster to shorten the journey as much as possible to ensure the safety of herself and the goods.
Fortunately, she was lucky and no one jumped out to stop the carriage along the way.
They arrived at the farm safely. Miao, who was watching her two children in the yard, saw the carriage and hurried out.
"The girl is back."
Song Yuntang jumped off the carriage and looked towards the wooden shed.
"Aunt Miao, where have all the people in the village gone?"
Miao said hurriedly, "People from Dongming Village delivered the yams this morning, and everyone is working in the fields now."
Since those people were working, Song Yuntang could only ask the coachman to help her and Miao move the things in the carriage into the yard.
The driver paid the fare and drove away in the carriage.
Song Yuntang was curious, so he put all the herbs in place and walked towards the field.
"Miss Song."
Wu Wei, who was standing in the field directing everyone in planting yam, was the first to see the newcomer.
The girl wore a light pink blouse with a beige collar and a slanted collar, and a skirt of the same color as the blouse.
Her hair was tied back with only a short brass tassel hairpin inlaid with pink and white agate. As she walked, the short tassel swayed gently in her hair.
Wu Wei just felt that he couldn't take his eyes off the girl in front of him, and he felt a little regretful in his heart.
If his muteness had been cured when he and Song Yuntang met, perhaps he would be the one marrying her now.
Hearing the noise, Song Jinsheng immediately raised his head.
When he saw Song Yuntang, he immediately smiled.
"Tang'er is back."
"I'm back." Song Yuntang walked closer with a smile and nodded slightly towards Wu Wei, "Thank you for your help."
Wu Wei waved his hands hurriedly.
"I didn't do much either. It was mainly the people on your farm who were busy."
Song Yuntang looked at him.
"Aunt Miao is already cooking, and it's almost time for dinner. Let's eat here first before going back. The food might not be that good, though."
Wu Wei said quickly, "As long as there's something to eat, I'm not picky."
Song Yuntang looked at Song Jinsheng again.
"Second brother, stop working so hard. If you pull the wound on your body, you will be in pain again."
Song Jinsheng didn't listen to her.
"The ground has been turned over in the past few days. I just need to plant it. It won't take much effort."
Song Yuntang hurried over to help him, "Did you go to Furong Bureau and the grocery store after delivering goods a few days ago? What's going on over there?"
Right now, after buying all the medicinal herbs, I only have 52 taels left, and I have to rely on these orders to make some money back.
Song Jinsheng whispered, "It was busy farming season for a few days last month, so business in the county town wasn't very good for a few days. The shampoo sales were a little slow, but when we went there a few days ago, the shop was almost sold out. Just like last time, the two shops have ordered a total of 700 cans. Tomorrow is the delivery day. I'll give you the money after dinner. The bricks and tiles ordered will arrive at the farm tomorrow. Mu Dong and I will deliver the goods, so you have to stay here and keep an eye on it yourself."
Song Yuntang nodded.
"it is good."
She couldn't help but sigh in her heart.
I was just happy that I was going to earn twenty-one taels of silver from shampoo, but it's still not enough to pay the balance for bricks and tiles tomorrow.
It's really true that you spend more quickly than you earn.
I don’t know how the business of Huajianzui and Yujun Pavilion has been in recent days. I have to go and check it out in the afternoon. Mu Dong and Mu Qiu haven’t received their wages for last month yet.
My trip to the county town was delayed for a few days.
There were many people on the farm, and the land had been plowed before. Under Wu Wei's guidance, the land was planted quickly and was completed before lunch.
……
After dinner, Wu Wei left.
Song Yuntang went to the town, but before she reached Yujun Pavilion, a middle-aged man blocked her way.
"Miss Song, the master has returned to Cile Town. Please go to the Lin family for a chat."
The man in front of him is Lin Hongshen's follower, and has followed him for twenty or thirty years.
Song Yuntang was a little surprised. In the original owner's memory, Lin Hongshen had never shown up since she was kicked out of the Lin family. Even when Lin Zhaozhao was imprisoned, it was Zhuang Wenyin and Lin Jingyao who came to her to plead for mercy.
This shows how cold-hearted he is.
We haven't seen each other for three years, why do you suddenly want to call her over today?
However, she didn't want to have anything to do with the Lin family anymore.
"Please tell Qian Bo that I know I am of humble origin and dare not marry into the family of a nobleman. Now that I am married, I will not go to the family of a nobleman to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings."
He nodded slightly and wanted to walk around Qian Bo and leave.
