Rebirth of Okuki Kofuro

Zhuang Qingze talked to Father Liang for a while, and Mrs. Zhuang asked him to eat lunch. Now he was really sick and didn't want to face Liang's family, so he repeatedly refused: "Sister, I have something to do when I go back. I have to go out in two days. I have to prepare for going out in July, so I won’t stay.”

"Okay, then wait, I'll pack something for you and you can take it back." Zhuang didn't force her younger brother to stay, she prepared big and small bags for Zhuang Qingze as usual.

Standing at the gate of the Liang family with the things given to him by Mrs. Zhuang, Zhuang Qingze was moved: "Sister, brother-in-law, you have taken care of me too much. This year, there is less wine in the winery, and the managers of those commercial firms have come to ask my brother-in-law for more. Wine, if there is not enough wine, you don’t have to keep it for me.”

"The family saved some money in the past two years, which was enough for Cheng Hong and Cheng Zhi to study. This year, we will earn less money. At worst, we can eat more coarse grains, so as not to ruin the business of brother-in-law. Sister, you should go back and persuade brother-in-law."

Zhuang Qingze's miserable and caring words successfully made Zhuang's tears burst into tears, and he said with distress and reassurance: "Little brother, how can my sister let your family not have enough to eat? The two children Cheng Hong and Cheng Zhi are grown-ups." When you are in good health, you can’t suffer from anything, so my sister will turn around and ask your brother-in-law to see if he can think of a way.”

Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Zhuang Qingze stopped selling miserably. He forced a smile and said, "Sister, I really don't need it. I can go out and buy autumn grains to make a fortune without selling wine. I just said that I was joking about eating coarse grains. I'm a family Lord, so that the children will not be unable to eat."

Mrs. Zhuang has already determined that the younger brother has suffered a big loss, and she didn't ask much about the business before, so she went back later and asked the husband what happened.

Father Liang was completely relieved at the moment. He was worried that his brother-in-law would be unhappy or even complained, but he didn't expect his brother-in-law to figure it out soon and support him very much.

Although the brother-in-law's attitude was not clear at the beginning, but thinking about it, if he suddenly heard such news, he might not be able to react. This is human nature, and Father Liang didn't take it to heart.

Now, he only needs to wait until the end of the month to go to the winery to see how this year's new wines are, and then choose some aged wines.

Mrs. Zhuang entered the room and looked at Liang's father with red eyes: "Sir, what's going on with my little brother? I just heard him say that he won't take wine this year?"

Father Liang took Zhuang's hand, explained to her what was going on, and said with emotion: "Qing Rong, I can't help it. My little brother can understand our difficulties, and I am very grateful to him."

After finishing speaking, Liang's father felt sorry for Zhuang Qingze, and offered to propose: "This year, my younger brother takes less wine, so he must earn less. The members of the family depend on him alone, and selling food can only earn some hard money. Why don't we let their family come to our place to celebrate the New Year this year, and then subsidize them when they go back after the New Year?"

After hearing the situation of the winery, Mrs. Zhuang was also very worried about her own winery. Although she felt sorry for her younger brother, she was already a married woman with a husband and a son. She belonged to the Liang family, and the Liang family held more weight in her heart. .

So there is no way to change the matter of the wine. The affairs of the family are within the scope of her decision-making. If she can subsidize it, she will subsidize it: "Okay, I will make good preparations when the time comes."

Besides, on the other side Zhuang Qingze went back full of anger, Zhao Hongmei knew that this trip was not going well when she saw him, thinking about what he was going out for, a trace of unhappiness flashed in her eyes.

Without waiting for Zhao Hongmei to ask, Zhuang Qingze came in and started cursing: "I'm so mad! What nonsense care, I think Liang Youji doesn't want to give me so much wine for a long time, just take this opportunity to reduce the amount!"

Zhuang Qingze knew how much old wine the Liang family had. He originally wanted to propose to buy more old wine, but Liang's father killed his words in advance and directly specified the share of the wine for him. What can he say?

"How could it be like this?" Zhao Hongmei frowned with her slender eyebrows, and her narrow and phoenix eyes were shining brightly.

"Why can't it be like this? My surname is Zhuang, and his surname is Liang. Seeing that his son is married to his husband and will give birth to a grandson for him, why don't you just want to kick me, a troublesome brother-in-law?" Zhuang Qingze slammed his fist on the table.

"Qingze, don't be angry. I don't think my sister and brother-in-law are like that. There is really little wine in the winery this year. I guess my sister will find a way to subsidize us." Zhao Hongmei poured Zhuang Qingze a glass of water and let him drink to calm down.

Looking at the smoking tea, Zhuang Qingze felt even more furious. He raised his hand and swept the teacup to the ground: "What kind of subsidy? Are we poor relatives who come to fight the autumn breeze?"

Zhao Hongmei's words irritated Zhuang Qingze. Over the years, he has always been subsidized and taken care of by his sister and brother-in-law. It seems that he is very incompetent, and he can't support his family without his parents.

"She, Zhuang Qingrong, is my own older sister. My parents gave her so much dowry when she got married. Don't think I don't know. The dowry was almost all the savings of the family at that time."

"Without the dowry that Zhuang Qingrong brought over, it's no wonder that Liang Youfeng's winery can continue to operate. It has long been dilapidated. There is no Liang's winery. How much she gave me over the years, even [-]% of the original dowry None!"

"Also, I have worked so hard every year to help them sell wine, and I can't get a favor. If something goes wrong, I just ask me to take less wine. This is taking care of me? Treating my own brother is worse than outsiders, fart!"

"Hongmei, I didn't take what you said seriously before, but now I fully understand that Zhuang Qingrong's eyes are only on the Liang family, and there is no brother like me at all."

"I knew, I knew earlier, I should have done it long ago, I wouldn't have waited until now... Liang Youfeng, don't think that this year's wine will have problems next year, and next year's Liang family's wine will still have problems next year. Those who want to maintain the winery Good reputation, beautiful thinking!"

Zhao Hongmei's eyes dimmed, and she knelt down to pick up the large pieces of broken porcelain on the ground, swept away the small pieces of porcelain, and said slowly, "Sir, I didn't expect my sister and the others to be like this."

"Actually, I just said a few words to you before. You also know that women like to think too much when they have nothing to do. I wondered if what I was thinking about was the heart of a villain. Now it seems that women's intuition is really good. Kind of makes sense."

"I said that you are not angry. We have saved some savings now. Without the subsidies from my sister and the others, we can live on. At worst, when the two children are older, they will go to the business with you."

Zhao Hongmei's words were like adding fuel to the fire, making Zhuang Qingze's face as dark as the bottom of the pot: "What is running a business! His son Liang Kangsheng of Liang Youfeng can study and take the imperial examination. Why should my son of Zhuang Qingze follow me to run a business?" ?”

"Liang Kangsheng still wants to be a scholar, dreaming, reading makes his brain stupid, thinking about studying and managing a winery, let's see how his body can hold it!"

After Zhuang Qingze finished speaking, he suddenly thought of something. When he looked at Zhao Hongmei, a smug expression flashed across his face. He lowered his voice and whispered in Zhao Hongmei's ear: "Hongmei, when I went out last year, I found a plant called green millet root. I added green millet root to Liang Kangsheng's medicine."

Zhao Hongmei looked at Zhuang Qingze in confusion, what is green millet root?Can it make Liang Kangsheng's health better?

Zhuang Qingze first told Zhao Hongmei the function of the green millet root, and then talked about the process of his discovery.

Every year he would go to Lingbei Province to sell wine. Lingbei Province and Lingnan Province are located in the south of the Great Yu Country. The origin of the name of the two provinces is a continuous mountain called the Zeling Mountains.

The Zeling Mountains are a well-known source of medicinal materials. Many good medicinal materials are hidden in those deep mountains and old forests that have not been visited all year round. Similarly, there are all kinds of poisons in them.

When Zhuang Qingze was selling wine, he heard that a family mistakenly fed green millet roots to their livestock as ordinary grass, and something went wrong.

The family raised cows, pigs, and chickens. At the beginning, the livestock in the family just had no energy and were unwilling to eat.

The livestock will naturally lose weight if they don't eat, because the appetite of many livestock will decrease in summer. The family didn't pay attention to it. Unexpectedly, it didn't take long for these livestock to die one after another.

It is not a big deal for a farmer to raise pigs and chickens, but it is different if the cattle are dead. The cattle must be registered in the government register, not to mention that the livestock of this family are all dead, as if they have caught the plague. , Immediately a veterinarian went to their home to check.

The veterinarian found green millet root in the feed, because the veterinarian is not as proficient in medicinal materials as ordinary doctors, and the green millet is not easy to identify at all, he thought it was aconitum, the kind of herb that can poison people, so he hurriedly reported it .

After the veterinarian presented the green millet root, other doctors identified it together, only to find out that the grass is called green millet root, not aconitum.

Previously, the family was almost convicted of deliberately killing a cow for feeding aconitum to the cow. It was later clarified that it was green millet root, and the charge was dropped.

As a result, green millet root, a poisonous weed that was unknown to everyone, was known by the locals and spread, becoming a topic of conversation among everyone in that area during that time.

After Zhuang Qingze heard about it, he felt that the green millet root was a very special poison. At that time, he had no intention of poisoning the Liang family. He just wanted to find this grass first, and use it if it was useful.

So when he was in Lingbei, he pretended that he wanted to know the difference between green millet root and aconitum, so as not to cause trouble in the future, so he asked someone to find out, and then quietly went to the place where it was said that there was green millet root place, dug a lot of green millet roots and put them away.

When he finished selling the wine and returned to Yang'an County, looking at the sickly Liang Kangsheng, he suddenly thought of the green millet root he had dug back.

In the beginning, Zhuang Qingze was not vicious enough to really poison Liang Kangsheng to death with the green millet root, he just wanted to make Liang Kangsheng weaker.

But when he actually added the green millet root to Liang Kangsheng's medicine bag, he finally figured out the purpose of digging the green millet root back then.

Later, Liang Kangsheng's growing weakness and Liang's father falling into a coma completely aroused the greed in Zhuang Qingze's heart.
