Chapter 2854 spend money

Man Baoxin is a ghost, and the two children want to eat more than their father.

She pulled the needle out of Dahua's body without much expression, and said to the rich lady who had been chatting in her ear: "How much does your family cost to marry a daughter-in-law?"

Da Fu Niang froze for a moment and then said, "How come you need four or five taels including the betrothal gifts and banquets?"

"Three taels!" said the big flower lying on the bed, "As a betrothal gift, one piece of red cloth can be used for the wedding dress, and then some cakes and meat. The banquet will cost about fifteen hundred dollars, and the ox cart that I came here will be pulled over. It was borrowed from the uncle's house, and it cost less than three thousand four hundred dollars before and after, and according to the price of copper coins back then, it was less than three taels."

The rich girl: "..."

Man Bao said: "If your son is widowed and has two children, and he is old, it should cost more money to get married, right?"

Da Fu Niang hadn't spoken yet, Da Hua said again: "At least five dangling money is required, and it can only be a widow, and it is possible that she also has children. You don't need to think about the big girl Huang Hua, who will marry the big girl to be the stepmother. It's not a very rich family."

Da Fu Niang's face turned black, she glared at her daughter-in-law and said, "Tell me what to do, you're not going to die."

Man Bao sighed and said, "She is about to die."

Da Fu Niang stayed for a while, and when she understood what she meant, her eyes darkened. When the figure reappeared in front of her, she saw Zhou Man holding her with one hand and pressing her with the other.

Man Bao sighed and said, "Auntie's health is also very bad."

Da Fu Niang could hear her, she cried out loudly, and knelt down to Zhou Man directly along the edge of the bed, her hands turned around to hold Zhou Man's tightly, and cried: "Miss, Madam, Bodhisattva, Reach out to save my daughter-in-law, and I will definitely set up a tablet for you when I look back..."

Man Bao: "...I might give it a try, but I'm only 80% sure."

Although the rich girl sounds too few, it is still better than spending a lot of money to marry a daughter-in-law, right? So she nodded again and again: "Eighty percent, eighty percent, ask Madam to lend a hand."

"In this way, I will come to give her acupuncture every day, how about you grab the medicine and come back with it?"

"well."

Man Bao called out, and Xibing immediately took out the ink, pen and paper from the medicine box and gave it to Man Bao.

Man Bao wrote down a prescription and gave it to Da Fu Niang, saying, "Go get the medicine."

The rich lady wiped away her tears and took it, remembering something, and quickly asked, "Is this medicine expensive?"

Man Bao said: "About eighty texts."

Da Fu Niang's eyes widened and she asked in disbelief, "Why is the medicine so expensive?"

Man Bao said: "Is it expensive? What about one life? Thinking about the blood your daughter-in-law shed yesterday, it's not expensive."

I thought so, but the rich girl still felt that it was very expensive, and asked tangled: "Can it be cheaper?"

Man Bao: "...I don't sell medicine."

She said unhappily, "I don't want your consultation fee anymore."

But this didn't make Da Fu Niang feel much better, she begged: "Maybe change to a cheaper recipe?"

"The most expensive thing in this recipe is the ginseng for a few dollars, which is used to replenish qi, and the other flavor is Angelica, which is used to replenish blood. Now your daughter-in-law's situation, you can't lack any of them," Man Bao said: " In fact, if you think on the bright side, a medicine can be boiled twice for one day. She can take this medicine for ten days at most. After ten days, if she survives, I will give her a cheaper medicine and wait for her to be full bimonthly. , the person will survive completely, and it will cost you two danglings of money, is it better than marrying another daughter-in-law?"

Man Bao said: "And in your family's situation, even if you have five hanging money, you may not be able to marry a daughter-in-law. Who knows if it is borrowing?"

The rich girl only felt more uncomfortable.

She looked at Zhou Man, then at the big flower lying on the bed, and finally said distressedly: "Okay, I'll buy it, I, I'll buy two pairs first..."

Take it for two days first, and then let's talk about the effect, if not...

The rich girl reluctantly went out to buy medicine.

When Zhou Man went to see the doctor yesterday, he asked about the prices of various medicinal materials in the pharmacy. Most of the prices were similar to those in the capital, some were cheaper, but some were more expensive.

Man Bao felt that it should have something to do with the distance of the place of origin. Anyway, it was basically the same, so she calculated it according to the price of the capital.

In fact, because of the remoteness here, ginseng and angelica are more expensive, so a pair of medicine requires eighty-six articles.

Da Fu Niang's whole heart trembled when she took out the money.

Dafu occasionally does odd jobs outside, carrying bags and running errands. He only gets 15 wen a day, but in good times he can get 18 wen, and his daughter-in-law will eat him for many days a day.

How many days is this many days?

Da Fu Niang didn't understand, so she simply asked the doctor who was holding her prescription, "Doctor, if my son earns fifteen cents a day, how many days will it take to earn enough money for this medicine?"

The doctor who was immersed in the prescription was also stunned when he heard the words, then pinched his fingers and counted, and said uncertainly, "Five and a half days?"

He turned to look at the shopkeeper beside him.

The shopkeeper said angrily: "People who work, don't eat or drink, let's count six days."

The rich girl cried: "Yao Shou, damn Guo's daughter-in-law, I don't know how to be so poisonous, so harmful, not only to my daughter-in-law, but also to my son..."

The rich lady cursed Mrs. Diao incessantly. Seeing that both the shopkeeper and the doctor gathered together to look at the prescription she brought, they didn't accept the money on the counter, so she carefully placed her hand on the edge of the copper plate, "The shopkeeper's , I'll give you this prescription, can you give us something cheaper?"

The shopkeeper said thoughtfully: "You gave us the prescription, what will you use to catch the medicine next time?"

She said confidently: "Anyway, the prescription is with you, you can catch me according to it."

She doesn't know how to read anyway, so it's useless to keep this thing in her hands. Seeing that the shopkeeper and the doctor seem to like the prescription, it should be... OK?

She herself was a little unsure.

The shopkeeper pondered for a while and said, "Okay, I'll give you five cents cheaper for this medicine. Next time Lord Zhou will prescribe you another prescription, you can bring it, and I will give you five cents back."

"Just this medicine? Will I get the medicine tomorrow?" Although the rich girl can't settle accounts, she is very shrewd in these matters.

The shopkeeper said, "Of course I won't give it. We don't make much money from this medicine. If we keep giving it, what kind of money will we make?"

He said again: "Auntie, I am willing to spend money to buy it today because of your pity. To be honest, you have already taken medicine from me, and we are not fools. Is there any reason why we can't remember it? This medicine is for us. It is optional.”

The rich lady who wanted to haggle again didn't dare to say anything, she nodded and said, "Okay."

The shopkeeper completed a deal with her, and as soon as she left, the shopkeeper and the doctor immediately took the prescription to the backyard, and the two of them got together and continued to study, "This recipe is good, in the case of a pregnant woman, just give it to me. A whole plant of ginseng may not be able to be rescued, how much money was saved directly by this medicine."

I was so happy that the power went out today. I was playing with my phone and stubbornly waiting for the call, but the power didn't come at four in the afternoon, it didn't come at six, and it didn't come at eight. Charge the laptop

Alas, why can't it just call at the right time?

see you tomorrow
