“Then you would be happy to hear that I have brought you more than 95 kilograms today,” Zhou Xiaoli said with a smile.
Qian Zhantang’s eyes lit up. “That’s good. Let’s go, let’s sit inside and talk. I made some refreshments.
Qian Zhantang smiled and led the two of them into the inner room.
At the same time, he called over two shop assistants to carry the sugar in.
Thinking that Liu Liangcai would be the one handing over the sugar to Shopkeeper Qian in the future, she started introductions. “Shopkeeper Qian, this is Uncle Liu. If I can’t come in the future, Uncle Liu will send you the sugar on my behalf.”
Qian Zhantang immediately looked at Liu Liangcai and greeted him with a smile. Because of Zhou Xiaoli, Qian Zhantang was very friendly to Liu Liangcai.
The two of them got to know each other very quickly.
On the other hand, the shop assistants had already brought a scale and weighed the sugar.
“Shopkeeper, it’s a total of 95 and a half kilograms.”
Zhou Xiaoli smiled and asked, “Shopkeeper Qian, how was it this time?”
Qian Zhantang’s eyes curved into crescents. “Not bad, not bad. This is enough for me to sell for a few days.”
After saying that, he stood up and went forward to look at the sugar in the bag. After checking the quality of the sugar, he said to the waiter, “Get 11 strings and 520 copper coins.”
Then, he looked at Zhou Xiaoli with a smile. “You can do a delivery once every seven days so you don’t have to keep coming around. It’s so troublesome.” Zhou Xiaoli had the same thought.
In ancient times, transportation was inconvenient. It was not easy for them to enter the city and moreover, they had to pay the entrance fee every time.
Thus, Zhou Xiaoli happily agreed to this arrangement.
Soon, the waiter walked over with the money.
Qian Zhantang counted first. After confirming that there were no problems with it, he passed it to Zhou Xiaoli. “Check and see if the count is correct.” In business, it was best to settle accounts openly.
Therefore, Zhou Xiaoli did not decline. She simply counted the money and confirmed that it was indeed 11 strings and 520 copper coins.
She accepted the money and bade Shopkeeper Qian farewell.
The money was placed in a package. This time, Shopkeeper Qian had given them strings of money. Eleven strings to be exact. It was heavy, so Liu Liangcai took the package.
This was the first time Liu Liangcai had so much money with him. He was very nervous. After leaving the door of Qing Tao Workshop, his hand kept touching the package he hid in his clothes carefully.
Zhou Xiaoli sighed. After getting on the donkey cart, she whispered, “Uncle Liu, you’re so nervous that it’s easy for others to notice. They would be thinking that you must have a treasure in your arms to be so nervous.”
Liu Liangcai immediately understood and scratched his head in embarrassment. “Yes, yes, Little Li is right.”
As he spoke, he quickly moved his shoulders and took a deep breath to relax.
In his heart, however, he lamented that this young lady, Zhou Xiaoli, was really extraordinary. She did not tremble at all even when she saw so much money.
One had to know that when he saw the shop assistant carrying the 11 strings of copper coins over, his heart began to tremble.
Because the two of them had a large sum of money on them, and Liu Liangcai was so nervous, Zhou Xiaoli did not dare to stay in the county city any longer.
After Liu Liangcai calmed down, the two of them left the city.
After leaving the city gate, the donkey cart headed towards Boyu Village.
Although the road was not wide, there was not a lot of traffic so they made their way there very quickly.
The donkey cart went smoothly.
Just as they turned a corner, a horse carriage drove over.
As the road was not wide, the cart and carriage could not pass at the same time so they both slowed down.
Immediately after, Zhou Xiaoli heard a woman’s gentle and anxious voice coming from the carriage. “What’s wrong?”
Immediately after, a woman’s slightly irritable voice sounded. “What’s going on? Don’t you know that the young master can’t take it anymore? What do I need you servants for? I’ll definitely report it to the Old Madam when I get back to punish you severely for the delay!”
The coachman hurriedly said, “Madam, there’s a cart in front that’s blocking the way.”
The carriage didn’t look luxurious, but it didn’t attract attention as well. It was something that their donkey cart couldn’t compare to. Moreover, from what they said, the person sitting in this carriage might be the wife or daughter of an official. Therefore, they were determined not to cause trouble.
Liu Liangcai hurriedly took the initiative to pull the donkey cart to the side of the road and let the other party pass first.
The driver of the carriage nodded at Liu Liangcai and prepared to go forward.
At this moment, an exclamation suddenly came from the carriage. “Ah! Madam, bad news. The Young Master is vomiting blood!”
“Brother An, Brother An, what’s wrong? Wake up, don’t scare Mother.” “Madam, the young master is in trouble. We have to find the doctor quickly!” “Where can we find a doctor in the wilderness? Quick, let’s go home!”
Their shouts were not soft to begin with, and they were so close that Zhou Xiaoli and Liu Liangcai could hear them clearly.
Zhou Xiaoli did not intend to pry.
However, a maidservant in the carriage suddenly lifted the curtain at this moment to tell the coachman to hurry up. Zhou Xiaoli happened to see the situation inside.
In the carriage, a young and beautiful lady was carrying a baby in swaddling clothes. Her eyes were red from crying.
As for the baby in the swaddling clothes, his lips were green and his face was yellow. He closed his eyes tightly and did not react at all. Clearly, he was not in a good state.
If he does not get treatment in time, she’s afraid that…
It was a baby still in swaddling clothes. Zhou Xiaoli could not bear to see him like this, so she asked, “Madam, do you need help? I know a little about medicine.”
The maidservant at the entrance of the carriage immediately looked at Zhou Xiaoli. When she saw that it was only a small village girl, her expression turned ugly. “What can you do to help? As long as you don’t block the way, and let us quickly go home to find the doctor, that will be the greatest help to us!” Zhou Xiaoli pursed her lips and said nothing more.
She offered to help out of pity for the baby, but if the other party did not appreciate her kindness, she did not have the good character to insist on saving him.
She immediately shrugged and decided to ignore them.
Liu Liangcai hurriedly drove the donkey cart further into the field on the side. “If you want to cross, go quickly.”
At this moment, the curtain of the car window was lifted suddenly, revealing a pale and sickly face. Her eyes were filled with anxiety and a trace of hope as she looked at Zhou Xiaoli. “Young lady, you mean you know medicine?” Zhou Xiaoli nodded.
The maidservant at the carriage door frowned and said disapprovingly, “Madam, this is a country girl. How can she treat our Young Master? If we delayed the Young Master’s treatment because of her, what should we do? Let’s hurry home and let the Old Master invite the best doctor.”
The Madam’s face immediately darkened and revealed a trace of anger. She shouted at the maidservant, “Shut up! Am I the Madam, or are you the Madam? One more word from you and you can get lost immediately!”
Then, she looked hopefully at Zhou Xiaoli. “Miss, please save my son. I’ll definitely repay you handsomely.”
As she spoke, she quickly got another maidservant to get off the carriage and invited Zhou Xiaoli into the carriage.
After being scolded, the unyielding maidservant did not dare to say anything else. She stood beside the carriage and looked at it resentfully..
