On the wedding day, I was broken off, so I remarried his uncle

Chapter 207 Someone coming home

The man was just as Song Xile said. As soon as he entered the door, he asked what medicine Song Xile had just bought.

Doctor Zheng looked at the visitor calmly and saw that although the man was wearing servant's clothes, the material was not bad, so he thought that his family should be well-off.

Although Doctor Zheng didn't understand why Song Xile did this, since she had instructed him to do so, Doctor Zheng had to do as Song Xile said.

He first refused bluntly, saying that this was the patient's privacy and as a doctor he could not disclose it.

When the boy said he also wanted the same medicine, Doctor Zheng told him.

The servant who received the letter immediately ran back to report to Yang Ji.

Yonggui knelt at Yang Ji's feet and reported what had just happened.

"Master, the two students from Liu'er Hutong did not go out, so the carriage we arranged on the street was not used."

"But I think they must have been infected. The servants found out that Song went to Renyitang to buy medicine to treat diarrhea."

Yang Ji was not satisfied after hearing this. "I asked you to communicate with the doctor at the clinic. What did the doctor at Renyitang say?"

Yonggui lowered his head even lower, and he reported nervously: "Master, this is the capital after all, and we dare not be too willful."

"I only bribed a doctor at a clinic close to the inn. He only promised to use a milder prescription instead. In this way, the diarrhea that can be cured in two or three days will be delayed to five or six days."

There are most students living in the inn now. If they want to see a doctor, they will definitely go to the nearby clinic.

Thinking of this, Yang Ji was barely satisfied.

On the other side, as soon as Song Xile turned into Liu'er Hutong, he saw his father, who was standing in front of the gate and talking to Yun You with a smile.

Song Xile called out happily and trotted over to meet him.

"Dad, why are you here?"

Old Song was smiling when he saw his daughter, but when he heard her ask this question, he couldn't help but frown and asked, "Why, you don't welcome dad?"

Song Xile immediately took Old Song's arm, and walked towards home holding Old Song's arm affectionately, "Look at what Dad said, I was worried that you would be tired on the road, so I asked you to go. I really didn't expect you to come."

Old Song felt comforted when he heard his daughter's soothing words, and he couldn't suppress the smile on his face.

He said nonchalantly: "It's nothing, it's just a few days' journey, it's not that hard."

Song Xile pulled his father into the yard and sat him down, and at the same time invited the Qiao brothers to sit down too.

At this time, the cook was very discerning and brought tea. Song Xile took the teapot and poured a cup for everyone. "Dad, you have worked hard on the journey. Drink some water to moisten your throat first."

After Old Song drank the water, Song Xile asked, "Dad, did you have a smooth journey?"

Old Song nodded, "Thanks to the two brothers of the Qiao family, we avoided a lot of trouble along the way because of them."

Song Xile couldn't help but frowned, "But what kind of danger did you encounter?"

Qiao Da put down the teacup in his hand and explained, "My lady, you are worrying too much. When I passed by Nanyang County, I met many people who wanted to escape from Nanyang County."

"All these people heard that there was a way to survive in the city, and they all wanted to flee Nanyang County. However, the head of Nanyang County stopped them from leaving, and even a fight broke out."

Song Xile frowned and asked quickly, "Dad, what happened next?"

Old Song sighed, "Fortunately, Brother Qiao didn't let me stay in the village. At night, we heard a noise coming from outside, so we went out to check. We saw that the head of the village had blocked the road out of the village and was confronting a group of people. Both sides were on the verge of a fight."

"That night, the Qiao brothers led me through a small path, which allowed us to avoid the conflict."

Song Xile said, "Since staying in Nanyang County means there will be no way to make a living, why doesn't the Nanyang County Magistrate let the people leave and make a living on their own?"

"Why else? Of course, I'm afraid that these people will leave and never come back, and the county's tax revenue and labor force will decrease. This has never affected my political achievements."

In addition to annual tax revenue, the population growth in the county during the period of his administration is also an important indicator for evaluating an official's performance.

He knew very well that once he allowed the people to leave, the people under his jurisdiction would soon be wiped out.

In Song Xile's opinion, people like County Magistrate Yang would not care about the lives of the people, and would only make the local people suffer.

Seeing his wife's bad face, Chen Yunyou quickly changed the subject and said, "Father-in-law, I wonder if everything is fine at home? Xile and I have been out for so long, and I don't know what the situation is like in the county."

When talking about his family, Old Song couldn't help but smile, "Don't worry, everything is fine at home. The pumpkins we planted have grown so big now."

He gestured with his hands, but the expression in his eyes could not be concealed.

"As for the drought in Nanyun County, you can rest assured. Although our county is not as prosperous as the capital, it is definitely much better than Nanyang County."

"I heard that County Magistrate Zhou met with many wealthy gentry and landlords some time ago, and asked them not to drive up grain prices in exchange for providing high-yield bean seeds."

"The price of grain in the city is now stable at between 11 and 15 cents. The people can still survive this season if they tighten their belts."

After hearing what their father-in-law said, the couple felt a little relieved, at least their efforts were not in vain.

After finishing a cup of tea, Old Song looked around, but still didn't see his second son. He frowned and asked, "Where did the second son go? I've been here for half a day, why haven't I seen him?"

"Dad, I forgot to tell you in my letter that my second brother is now running a snack business near Yun Lake. There are many people there now, and the daily income is pretty good."

"You must be tired after traveling for many days. Why don't you take a rest first? I will take you there after lunch."

When Old Song heard that his son had started a business, he could no longer sit still. He immediately said that he was not tired and wanted to go and take a look.

Song Xile had no choice but to let Chang'an take his father over first, as she had something to discuss with Yun You.
