Chapter 20

Anyway, there are so many turtles in the Ma Bie River that Gu Nanzhi can’t catch them all.

“Zhenting’s wife, you are really amazing!”

After getting the benefit, everyone became more friendly to Gu Nanzhi and praised her generously, “I’ve heard from people in the next door village that you learned some methods of treating diseases from the people in the cowshed, and you can cure headaches and fevers. Is that true?”

“Yes!”

Gu Nanzhi would naturally not miss the opportunity to promote herself. “Not only headaches and fevers, I can also take pulses and prescribe medicine!”

“That’s great. My grandson has been suffering from indigestion these days. Can you take care of him?”

“Yes, take the child to my house later, and I will give him a massage and he will be fine!”

“My child has been coughing for several days, and I haven’t been willing to take her to see a doctor in town. Can you trouble Zhenting’s family to take a look?”

“No problem. I picked some licorice when I went up the mountain today…”

“…”

“…”

Everyone talked one after another, and soon they felt like they had picked up a treasure, and the way they looked at Gu Nanzhi was more affectionate than their own daughter.

“The family in the next village is really blind to the value of a valuable girl. They are willing to sell such a capable girl!”

“If they are reluctant to sell her, how can they let us get a bargain? From now on, Zhenting’s wife will be a member of our Xiejia Village!”

“Don’t worry, Zhenting’s wife, the aunts will take care of you from now on. If those people from the Gu family dare to come to our house to make trouble again, we will beat them out!”

“…”

Gu Nanzhi led the children home from Mabie River, and the neighbors really came to the house with their children.

A boy with indigestion and a girl with cough are both very common childhood diseases. Gu Nanzhi gave them massages, and the effect was immediate.

Amid the gratitude of the two neighbors, Gu Nanzhi prepared a simple licorice cough soup for the girl, and told the grandmother of the boy with indigestion to go home and pick a pomegranate scallop for the child to chew.

The principle of folk remedies is deadly, and the villagers understand it, so the neighbors did not ask more questions.

It was already dark when Gu Nanzhi sent them off. The two elders and Xie Jianbang went home from the fields. They were confused when they saw the herbs drying in the yard. They were

overjoyed when they heard the three children chattering about what the medicine was and what its effects were. At this time, the two families who wanted Gu Nanzhi to treat their children came again.

One of them had two cents and the other had four eggs. They wanted to give them everything.

Father and Mother Xie were confused and pushed and shoved with them. In the end, it was Gu Nanzhi who took the two cents from the coughing girl.

“I’m just giving massage to eliminate indigestion but I didn’t prescribe any medicine. How can I ask you for consultation fee as a neighbor? In the future, if anyone in our village needs me, I won’t charge you as long as you don’t need any medicine!”

“That’s great. Thank you so much, wife Zhenting! That… my eldest brother from my mother’s side has had pain in one of his legs for more than a year. He walks with a limp and can’t do any heavy work. He has been to the town hospital many times but has not been cured. I wonder if you, wife Zhenting, can…”

The aunt whose eggs were refused seemed to be afraid of Gu Nanzhi’s refusal, and hurriedly said, “We will pay for the medicine! As long as we can cure him, we will pay any amount for the medicine!”

Her eldest brother from her mother’s side is the pillar of her family. He has not been able to work in the fields for the past year or two. The whole family is worried and angry. It seems that he will not be able to survive!

If Gu Nanzhi can really cure him, then she will be supported by her parents and sister-in-law when she returns to her mother’s house in the future!

“It’s not a big problem. Auntie, please send a message and ask someone to come over. I will definitely cure it if I can!”

“Okay, okay!”

“…”

After sending the two neighbors away, Father Xie, Mother Xie and others said: “!!!”

Looking at the two cents in Gu Nanzhi’s hand, they wanted to worship her too!

Although two cents is not much, but…it’s just the beginning!

There are several villages around the mountains that don’t even have a decent barefoot doctor. If Gu Nanzhi can really treat people, then in the future…

just think about it, the whole family feels that life is full of hope!

Of course, except for Du Guirong!

“A blind cat meets a dead mouse, and she is still cheating! If she is caught by the police, I wonder who dares to bring her food!”

Du Guirong lay on the window of the west room and spit out.

The little sparrow meets the old thief, sooner or later she will let Gu Nanzhi, the bitch, know who is the big king!

In front of the two elders, Gu Nanzhi pretended not to hear Du Guirong’s fart.

Although Xie Jianbang was angry, he was no longer angry that day, and he couldn’t say that he wanted a divorce. He could only squat beside his father angrily and smell the secondhand smoke of his father Xie.

The next morning, Gu Nanzhi went up the mountain to collect herbs as usual. When she came down the mountain after noon, the neighbor aunt was already waiting at home with her eldest brother from her mother’s family. There were also several neighbors at home

to join in the fun. It was a simple case of blocked tendons and blood circulation, which caused the inconvenience of legs and feet. Gu Nanzhi gave people acupuncture and prescribed decoctions.

Seeing Gu Nanzhi holding a long silver needle and stabbing people, everyone

was so scared that they held their breath.

Then…the eldest brother from her mother’s family came with a limp, but walked out normally!

Everyone: “!!!”

Now not only the few neighbors who came knew that Gu Nanzhi was amazing, but also the people in the surrounding villages knew that she was really good!

This time, Gu Nanzhi charged them eight yuan, because even if acupuncture was free, there were still decoctions and plasters. It was time-consuming and laborious to boil plasters, and Gu Nanzhi didn’t want to be a free laborer!

That night, Gu Nanzhi finally had the opportunity to enter the kitchen, because she wanted to borrow the small stove in the kitchen to boil the plaster. She had agreed with the neighbor aunt that she would come to help her eldest brother from her mother’s family get the plaster tomorrow.

Except for Du Guirong, the family squatted neatly at the door of the kitchen, looking at the eight yuan that Gu Nanzhi gave to Xie’s mother but was rejected, and Gu Nanzhi who was watching the fire and throwing medicine into the small pot beside the stove…

“Second brother, go to town tomorrow and buy a stove for your sister-in-law to boil medicine!”

Old man Xie looked at his eldest daughter-in-law boiling medicine, as if he saw the hope of his eldest son waking up.

“And buy two casseroles for boiling medicine. I heard that hospitals in big cities will boil medicine for you. If more and more people come back to see your sister-in-law, we…”

Xie Jianbang scratched his head with a simple face, but what he said made Gu Nanzhi’s eyes light up.

I can’t believe that Xie Zhenting, this honest brother, actually has a business mind!

You have to know that these days there are not many clay pots for decocting medicine in a village, and most of them have to borrow them shamelessly when they are needed…

“Okay! Just do as my second brother said, buy two clay pots, one for Xie Zhenting to decoct medicine, and one for Ruyun to take over the job of decocting medicine!”

Gu Nanzhi smiled and answered.

Xie Ruyun on the side had red eyes with excitement.

She brought her children back to her parents’ home. The two children were still young and needed to be taken care of. She could not do anything except washing clothes and cooking, so she could only let her second sister-in-law despise her. Now…

her eldest sister-in-law is helping her!

The family was talking and laughing here, and there was a sound of cursing from the west room.

Everyone: “!!!”

It’s numb!

They have become numb to Du Guirong’s behavior!

In the next few days, the news that Gu Nanzhi could treat illnesses spread quickly, and soon everyone knew about it. Gu Nanzhi went up the mountain to collect herbs in the morning and saw patients in the afternoon. She also prepared all the medicines in Xie Zhenting’s prescription. Everything went according to plan until…

she was blocked by Wang Bingcheng on the way up the mountain!

“Nanzhi, what a coincidence~”
