The Only Favorite Ugly Husband

"What's wrong with your mother-in-law?" Jiang Zhen asked with a frown. He has seen this man several times these days, and he has also seen his two children fishing for fish or shrimp or getting food by the river, but he has never seen him. Wife, I didn't expect it to die.

"I'm sick." The man touched his face again, wiping away the rain mixed with tears.

These fishermen, their lives are actually not very good.

They have no land of their own and no place to stay. Although they can fish and sell money, their income is actually very meager, and they can only maintain their daily lives. Once people are sick, they often have to suffer.

His mother-in-law just had a stomachache and discomfort at first, but he didn't take it seriously, but in the past few days, she had diarrhea, vomiting, and a fever, and she lost her shape all of a sudden...

It was sunny yesterday, and he took all his savings to take him to see it, but the doctor said that it would cost at least two or thirty taels of silver to be cured. die.

He came here on a boat from far away to beg for a living. He has no relatives here, and there is no place to borrow money if he wants to borrow money. The only thing worth money in his hand is the boat, but everyone who needs a boat here No shortage of boats, no need... who would buy such a wreck?

What's more, this boat is his home, and if he sells the boat, his family will have nowhere to go.

The fisherman's name was Wang Haisheng, but the woman he was talking about was actually a twin named Sun Xiaoshan, whom he picked up from the river.

Like them, they don’t have their own land, they don’t even have a foothold, and it’s very difficult for people who own a boat to marry a wife. Those who care a little bit about their children won’t marry their daughters or twins to such precarious people who still run around. Therefore, Wang Haisheng, like Boss Jiang, was 25 and six years old, and did not marry a wife.

Then one day when he was catching fish, he saw someone floating from a distance, so he picked up a pair.

This Sun Xiaoshan is also a hard-fated man. His mother died early, and his father married a stepmother, so he was treated harshly all the time. Later, when he was only fifteen or sixteen years old, he was sold to an old man in his 40s to fill in the house.

After he got married, the old man treated him well, and he lived a good life for a while, but within two years, the old man died of illness.

After the old man dies, the old man's son is the head of the family. It stands to reason that as a stepmother, he can have something to eat. The old man's daughter-in-law was upset and yelled out, and even got her family to beat him up.

He couldn't survive, so he threw himself into the river, and was later picked up by Wang Haisheng. He was very grateful and lived with Wang Haisheng.

They have been together for ten years, and they have two children, the older one is Wang Yuer, a twin, nine years old this year, and the younger one is Wang Daniu, six years old this year, a man.

They actually had a child in the middle, but they couldn't support it.

Although their family was poor, they lived happily. They never thought that Sun Xiaoshan would suddenly fall ill.

Wang Haisheng cried again while talking, and Jiang Zhen frowned.

In modern times, people have been complaining that seeing a doctor is difficult and expensive, but compared with ancient times, the price of seeing a doctor at that time was already ridiculously low, and it was not difficult at all.

In ancient times, it was really difficult to see a doctor and expensive to see a doctor.

There are only a few doctors in Hecheng County, and some of them only know a little bit, and they know how difficult it is to see a doctor. As for the expensive...

Zhao Jinge's mother, Zhao Liu's illness, was by no means a serious illness in modern times. As a result, after seeing a doctor for a period of time, the Zhao family had to sell the land...

Speaking of which, at that time, the people in Hexi Village still thought Zhao Jinge's father, Zhao Fugui, was ignorant...Which of these country folks didn't suffer from illness?Isn't selling land for medical treatment a problem in the brain?If Zhao Fugui hadn't sold the land, even if Zhao Liushi died of illness, he could still marry a widow and come back to warm his bed, and maybe he could have another child for him.

In ancient times, ordinary people couldn't afford to be sick. If they were sick, they could only wait for themselves to get better slowly. Wang Haisheng's wife was sick, and it was still an emergency. If he had no money to treat him, he could only die.

"Take me to have a look." Jiang Zhen said.

"You know how to heal?" Wang Haisheng looked at Jiang Zhen in surprise. Although he had lived in Hexi Village for a while, the villagers were exclusive and didn't get in touch with him, so he didn't have much contact with the villagers. Meet Jiang Zhen.

Seeing that Jiang Zhen is very tolerant, he still thinks that Jiang Zhen knows how to treat diseases - most of the villages do not have doctors, but occasionally there will be a person who knows a little bit of herbal medicine.

Jiang Zhen didn't speak.

Of course he doesn't know how to treat diseases. Although he has learned first aid, the first aid he learned is how to stop bleeding and sew wounds, but he has a stomachache and fever.

If he knew what was wrong with Sun Xiaoshan, and there was a modern pharmacy beside him, he might be able to provide antipyretics and other medicines to find out some symptoms, but he couldn't feel the pulse, so he couldn't tell what the other person had. What's wrong with it!

He was going to take a look, just to see if Sun Xiaoshan could still be saved...

Wang Haisheng secretly looked at Jiang Zhen with his eyes, seeing Jiang Zhen's expressionless face, his heart calmed down inexplicably, and he was not as sad and desperate as he was at the beginning.

Wang Haisheng took Jiang Zhen to his boat.

It is rainy and humid in the south of the Yangtze River. Although the people here are used to this kind of climate, it has been raining recently, which makes them very uncomfortable. Jiang Zhen always lit a fire at home to remove the humidity because he felt that the humidity was too heavy. The firewood piled in the thatched hut was used up.

As a result, his mud hut was very humid, but on this boat, the humidity was even heavier than his mud hut!

Among other things, first of all, this environment is not suitable for patients to live in.

When Jiang Zhen entered the cabin and saw a moldy fish hanging in it, he was even more speechless.

Wang Haisheng was also a little embarrassed. The fish was not a valuable thing to him. He pulled the fish and threw it directly into the river: "I haven't bothered to clean up the house these two days..."

Of course, this is also because the weather is too humid recently, so things are so easy to mold.

"Father." The two children came over, their eyes were red, and they were crying before they came.

"How is your mother?" Wang Haisheng cried a lot before, but in front of the two children, he behaved calmly.

This family needs someone to support it.

"Mother vomited again, and the gall water also spit out." The older Shuang'er with a red mole between her eyebrows choked up.

Jiang Zhen frowned and took two steps inside, and saw the patient on the bed.

At this time, the rich family is very particular. He will never let him go to a twin bed as a man, but the poor family doesn't care. Wang Haisheng even took the initiative to ask Jiang Zhen to let Jiang Zhen show it to his wife. look.

"Is there hot water at home? Is there any sugar?" Jiang Zhen asked.

"There is hot water and brown sugar." Wang Haisheng said, they usually buy food to eat, so he only has a few taels of silver with him, not enough for medical treatment.

But the doctor said that the only way to die is to wait for death. He thought that he must let his mother-in-law eat better before she died, so he went to buy some food. That's when he bought the candy.

Sun Xiaoshan couldn't eat for the past two days, so they kept giving him hot sugar water, so there was hot water.

"You soak some sugar water, and then put some salt in it for him to drink." Jiang Zhen said, if you keep vomiting like this, once you get seriously dehydrated, there is no cure.

"Fish, get it quickly." Wang Haisheng said to his eldest son, then looked at Jiang Zhen: "And then?"

"Are you selling this boat?" Jiang Zhen asked suddenly.

"I will sell it for 20 taels of silver, no, no, I will sell it for 15 taels of silver." Wang Haisheng said without thinking. He had already looked for a buyer before, but even if some people have money, they would rather buy land than him. of the boat.

"20 taels of silver, I'll buy your boat." Jiang Zhen said, "I'll go back and get the silver, and then we'll go to the county town to treat your daughter-in-law...I don't know how to treat his illness."

Although Wang Haisheng hoped that Jiang Zhen could cure his daughter-in-law, he didn't hold out much hope. He was not surprised that Jiang Zhen said he couldn't. But Jiang Zhen was willing to buy his boat, which made him ecstatic: "You...you really want to buy my boat?" His boat is actually a bit broken...

"Yeah." Jiang Zhen nodded, then jumped off the boat and walked to his residence.

Ever since he planned to resell goods to make money, he has been thinking about buying a boat, but he can't row a boat...

This time the matter is settled, not only can he have a boat, but he can also have someone to help him row the boat... although the boat is very broken.

When Jiang Zhen came back with the silver, he saw Wang Haisheng, who was in his thirties, standing on the bow of the boat, tears filled his eyes.

Wang Haisheng also knew that his boat was definitely not worth 20 taels of silver. If he got some wood and asked someone to build a boat, he might be able to get a new boat for ten taels of silver. , actually helping him...

Although he was also worried about where to live after losing the boat, Wang Haisheng was still full of hope and gratitude in his heart at the moment.

Wang Haisheng went rowing. Jiang Zhen didn't know how to row a boat and was afraid of causing trouble for him, so he didn't intervene in this matter. Instead, he said: "I plan to go out to do some business in the future, so you can row for me. I won't let your family starve to death." .”

Wang Haisheng was stunned at first, unable to react, but soon realized that Jiang Zhen had given him a way out.

The man who had been living on the boat and weathered the weather, cried again: "Thank you, thank you..." After crying, he rowed faster.

It didn't take long before they came to the county seat.

The spring rain is supposed to stop for a while, and when they arrived at the county seat, the rain just stopped.

Wang Haisheng carried the drowsy Sun Xiaoshan on his back, went ashore with Jiang Zhen, left the two children to look after the house, and went to the pharmacy.

Jiang Zhen threw him 20 taels of silver: "You go first, I'll get someone to come."

Wang Haisheng didn't know who Jiang Zhen was going to call, so after taking the money, he quickly walked towards the pharmacy, even running as he walked.

Jiang Zhen glanced at him, but went to find Yang Jiang.

It was raining today, so Yang Jiang didn't go out to patrol, but stayed at home.

The one in front of their yamen received a tribute from a businessman. The people above got the big head, and the people below them could also share some soup. The mother-in-law went to buy meat.

He didn't like to stay at home before, but these days it's raining and he stays at home every day, and suddenly he finds that life is quite comfortable.

Probably because he stayed at home all day, his wife stopped nagging in front of him all day, and his two children became closer to him.

Although my mother-in-law is fat, she is actually very comfortable to hug her fleshy body, and she is as soft as he is when she sleeps at night. You can't worry about her wanting this and that, two children... …

In the past few days, the two children brought him footwashing water and tapped his back, very well-behaved, Yang Jiang looked at them, and then thought of the scene where Jiang Zhen stabbed Butcher Jiang's thigh with a bamboo pole, he felt that he was complete.

Yang Jiang was crossing his legs and telling the two children about his heroic demeanor in handling the case, when there was a knock on the door of his house, and he said immediately: "Big Mao, go and open the door."

Yang Damao quickly opened the door, and Yang Jiang glanced out, and saw Boss Jiang.

Yang Jiang, who was originally relaxed, quickly got up from the recliner, looked at Jiang Zhen with a smile: "Boss, you are here!"

"Well, come out with me." Jiang Zhen said.

Jiang Zhen was a little rude like this, if someone else did this, he might be whipped by Yang Jiang, but he didn't dare to whip Jiang Zhen, so he tidied himself up quickly and went out with Jiang Zhen.

Jiang Zhen took Yang Jiang to the pharmacy first.

Wang Haisheng is a fisherman who lives in nowhere. The people in the pharmacy don't take him seriously at all, and he might be slaughtered, but it's different when Yang Jiang wanders around.

Even if the people in the pharmacy were not afraid of the yamen servants, knowing that Wang Haisheng knew the yamen servants, he would always be more careful when treating Sun Xiaoshan.

Jiang Zhen thought well.

The people in the pharmacy were not afraid of Yang Jiang, and Yang Jiang was polite to the doctors in the shop, but with Yang Jiang around, the people in the shop were more polite to Wang Haisheng. At first they didn't allow Sun Xiaoshan to stay in the shop, but later they did not allow him to stay in the shop. After a little accommodation, Sun Xiaoshan was allowed to live in the room where the patients rested behind the pharmacy.

Jiang Zhen is not a doctor, so it's meaningless to stay here. Seeing that things have been arranged, he didn't stay, but went outside with Yang Jiang: "Let's go for a walk in the market."

The two walked around the market like this. At this time, Jiang Zhen discovered that the market today is different from that of later generations, or it should be said that the consumption concept of people at this time is different from that of later generations.

Rich people these days don't feel bad about spending money casually, but ordinary people are different.

Ordinary people who don’t have much money are very reluctant to spend money. When buying things, they pursue cheap prices, not beautiful or good taste. For example, the same two people sell meat buns. The same size and the same amount of meat buns are delicious but expensive. , the other is not delicious but the price is cheap, everyone must go to the latter one to buy the cheap one.

They don't pursue the quality of life very much. As long as they can eat enough, they basically don't have too many demands. Because of this, even if Wang Haisheng has a fishing boat and can fish, his life is still very ordinary.

Fish cannot be sold at a price in the county. Even if it has been raining recently, there are fewer people selling fish, and the big guys don’t accept the price increase of fish. If they find that the price of fish is expensive, they will simply choose not to buy it. eat.

Even pork, people in the county town also bought it while it was cheap, and people who came all the way to the county town during the holidays would buy pork that was two or three pennies more expensive than usual from the butcher shop.

Of course, rich people are different. They are even willing to spend money that Brother Zhao Jin can’t earn for a year to eat a meal... But with Jiang Zhen’s current capital, it is basically impossible to do business with rich people However, the needs of these poor people are too low, just like the people in the village, they are basically self-sufficient.

If he is willing to travel a long way to get the cheap silk from here to the north, he can definitely make money, but...

How is he going?If he encounters trouble on the road, how will he solve it?What to eat and where to live?

He can't understand nothing, just take the goods and leave, right?

What's more, he left without talking for a few months... What about Brother Zhao Jin?

After looking around, Jiang Zhen suddenly looked at Yang Jiang: "How much do you know about the private salt?"

Last time he bought salt, he spent 35 yuan per catty of salt, but in modern times, it costs 35 yuan per catty of salt.

How much profit is this?It's so close to the sea...
