Transmigration: Becoming the Wicked Stepmother of Four Children

Chapter 128 Saving Old Zhao's Son

The broker just finished issuing the invoice.

Lin Qingshan paid the money before Lu Qingqing could.

Lu Qingqing said anxiously:

"Dad, how could I let you pay for this?"

Lin Qingshan laughed heartily:

"Qingqing, what you usually do for your father..."

Dad has them all saved.

"Buying this horse is a small token of my father's affection."

Lu Qingqing was deeply moved:

"father,

We usually give you money for your pocket money.

You've bought us a carriage again; this is unacceptable.

Lin Qingshan waved his hand:

"Qingqing, listen to your father, we are family."

It doesn't matter who pays.

Let's not let that guy laugh at us.

This horse will be working for our family from now on, won't it?

The broker, having received the money, immediately said shrewdly:

"I really envy your family's harmonious relationship."

How could anyone laugh at you?

Others would be green with envy!

Everyone who bought the horses was very happy.

Lin Qingshan smiled broadly and praised Lu Qingqing for her bargaining skills:

"Qingqing, you are so amazing!"

Their bargaining skills are truly admirable.

Lin Erzhu nodded in agreement:

"That's right, that's right."

We just heard you cut the price by twenty taels of silver.

I didn't dare to breathe.

We were afraid the broker would kick us out.

Lu Qingqing said with a smile:

"Second brother, what's the big deal?"

"It's normal to haggle over prices when buying and selling."

Lin Yunlan looked at Lu Qingqing tenderly:

"Qingqing is still the best."

We saved a lot of money today.

Dot and Bean were happily bouncing around nearby.

They also seemed happy to have bought the horse and carriage they wanted.

Lin Erzhu volunteered to drive the oxcart and said:

I'll drive this oxcart.

"You should all try out this carriage and see how it is."

Lin Qingshan also wanted to try driving a horse-drawn carriage.

then,

He and Lin Yunlan sat at the front of the carriage.

Watching Lin Yunlan skillfully drive the carriage,

I was overjoyed.

Lu Qingqing sat in the carriage with Diandian and Doudou.

I felt exceptionally relaxed.

Lu Qingqing and her group arrived at the manor.

The head of the village saw it from afar and hurriedly went up to ask.

The head of the village looked at him with a puzzled expression.

He asked cautiously:

"May I ask who you all are?"

Lu Qingqing smiled and said:

"My name is Lu Qingqing, and I am the owner of this estate."

I'll come and take a look today.

Upon learning that it was Zhuangzi's master who had arrived,

The head steward bowed with a look of surprise and said:

"I had heard from someone above that a scholar had taken over the estate."

But I've never seen it.

I never expected the lady to be so young.

As he spoke,

He respectfully welcomed Lu Qingqing and the others into the manor.

After everyone was seated,

The head of the estate then ordered people to prepare food and refreshments.

He even took the ledger and said:

"Master, these are the estate's account books for this year."

Please take a look first.

This year has seen favorable weather, resulting in a fairly good grain harvest.

However, a tenant farmer's family encountered some problems recently.

Paying rent is proving difficult.

Lu Qingqing took the ledger and flipped through the relevant records.

asked:

"Which farmer is it? What are the specific details?"

The head of the farm quickly replied:

"It's the Zhao family; their son is seriously ill."

Therefore, they were unable to pay the rent.

Old Zhao always looks worried and gloomy.

His hair has turned quite a bit white.

I've gone to check several times, but there's nothing I can do.

The head of the village said with a helpless expression.

Lu Qingqing's expression was solemn as she asked:

Do you know what illness it is?

The head of the farm, his face full of sorrow, shook his head:

"We consulted several doctors,"

There's no definitive answer; some say it's tuberculosis.

Some say it's because the cold has been in the body for too long.

Sigh, I don't understand it either.

The head of the estate was afraid that Lu Qingqing would blame him.

He then hurriedly spoke up for the Zhao family:

"Master, the Zhao family is all doing well."

He is honest and hardworking, and always does his job well.

I've never argued with anyone.

This time, encountering this kind of thing,

"It's truly a cruel twist of fate."

Lu Qingqing asked softly:

"Is their home far from the village?"

The head of the farm quickly replied:

"Not far, not far, just next to the village."

You'll arrive after you turn that corner.

Lu Qingqing nodded:

"Then I'll trouble you, head of the estate, to lead me there now."

The head of the farm hesitated for a moment.

Lu Qingqing realized that the head of the manor was afraid she would blame that family.

He quickly said:

"I know some medical skills and would like to go and help take a look."

Upon hearing this, the head of the village immediately showed a look of surprise and delight:

"Oh, that's wonderful!"

"My lord, you truly have the heart of a Bodhisattva."

So the head of the village quickly led the way.

He kept expressing his gratitude along the way.

Lin Qingshan and his two sons remained silent throughout.

He followed closely behind Lu Qingqing.

Their expressions were somewhat solemn.

I don't know what he's thinking.

But their steps never stopped.

The group soon arrived at Old Zhao's house.

The head of the farm immediately stepped forward and called for the door to be opened.

When the family learned that their master had arrived...

He misunderstood and immediately knelt on the ground to pay his respects.

Old Zhao pleaded:

"Madam, please..."

Please give us some more time.

The fact that the whole family knelt down startled Lu Qingqing.

The head of the farm stepped forward and said:

"Old Zhao, what are you doing?"

The lady didn't come to collect rent.

The lady is skilled in medicine.

"We've come to see your son for a medical checkup."

Old Zhao looked astonished, then his expression turned to delight.

He quickly stood up and said:

Oh dear, madam, I'm so sorry.

"We've misunderstood. Please come inside."

Lu Qingqing quickly said:

"No problem, no problem, take me to see the patient first."

The family hurriedly welcomed Lu Qingqing and the others into the house.

Lu Qingqing entered the room and came to the bedside.

Old Zhao's son looked ashen-faced.

His eyes were closed and his breathing was weak.

Lu Qingqing first reached out and touched his forehead.

The temperature feels quite high.

Then, she gently lifted his eyelids to examine him.

Then he carefully took her pulse.

Old Zhao and his family watched Lu Qingqing nervously from the side.

I didn't dare to breathe.

Lu Qingqing then examined the patient's tongue coating.

They also inquired about some symptoms and daily routines before and after the onset of the illness.

"Did you get caught in the rain while working in the fields before you fell ill?"

Lu Qingqing asked.

Old Zhao nodded quickly:

"Yes, madam, the rain came suddenly that day."

He didn't have time to dodge.

Lu Qingqing nodded slightly, pondered for a moment, and then said:

"Judging from the pulse and symptoms, this is a case of wind-cold invading the body."

And it wasn't treated in time,

This is what caused the condition to worsen.

When Old Zhao's family heard Lu Qingqing say that...

I thought she was like the other doctors and there was nothing more she could do.

Old Zhao secretly wiped away a tear.

Seeing the family's appearance, Lu Qingqing knew they must have misunderstood what she had said again.

She immediately continued:

"Fortunately, I can cure this disease."

Then, Lu Qingqing took out a piece of Tai Sui from her bosom.

Said:

"This is a rare treasure with miraculous medicinal effects."

Let him try it first.

Old Zhao and his family looked at Lu Qingqing with surprise and gratitude.

Lu Qingqing took a small piece of Tai Sui,

It was fed into Old Zhao's son's mouth.

I gave him some water to help him swallow.

After a while, something amazing happened.

Old Zhao's son's face gradually regained some color.

His breathing became more stable.

Lu Qingqing smiled and said:

"If nothing unexpected happens,

Your son will wake up soon.

Upon hearing this, Old Zhao and his family were first taken aback.

Then he realized what Lu Qingqing had said.

They all knelt on the ground to thank Lu Qingqing.

Old Zhao's voice trembled as he said:

"lady,

You are truly our family's savior!

Your great kindness and virtue

Our family has no way to repay you!

Lu Qingqing quickly helped them up and said:

"Sir, please get up, please get up."

Your whole family works for my estate.

This is what I should do.

Old Zhao wiped away his tears and choked out:

"Madam, you truly have the heart of a Bodhisattva."

From now on, our family will certainly do our utmost for Zhuangzi.

Lu Qingqing smiled and nodded:

"Take good care of him, and wait until he recovers."

There's still a lot of work waiting for us in the village.

Just then, the person in the bed woke up.

His eyes were still somewhat dazed, and he asked weakly:

"Father, what's wrong with me..."

Old Zhao was so excited that tears streamed down his face.

"My son, you're finally awake! It was Madam who saved you!"

The man turned his head with difficulty and looked at Lu Qingqing.

She wanted to get up and bow, but Lu Qingqing stopped her.

"Don't move, just lie still."

Lu Qingqing said gently,

"You just woke up, you're still weak."

He said gratefully:

"Thank you so much, Madam, for saving my life."

Lu Qingqing smiled and said:

"Take good care of yourself and recover as soon as possible; that's the most important thing."

Afterwards, Lu Qingqing gave Old Zhao another ten taels of silver.

So that they don't have to worry about the rent.

Once everything is settled at home,

Continue to serve Zhuangzi well.

Old Zhao's hands trembled as he accepted the silver.

"Madam, this...this is not acceptable."

Lu Qingqing patted his hand.

"Take it, make sure your family is settled first."

Zhuangzi also needs you.

Old Zhao's family was so moved that they wept uncontrollably.

He nodded repeatedly in agreement.

Lu Qingqing looked at them, her heart filled with satisfaction.

Then he led everyone away from Old Zhao's house.
