Chapter 33

Xie Ruhua is fifteen years old and will take the high school entrance exam next year. She is a lively and cheerful young girl, but even so, when she learned about what happened at home during her school years…

Xie Ruhua: “!!!” She

was still confused!

On the day when her eldest brother and his wife got their marriage certificate, they went to school to give her steamed buns and pickles. She knew that her eldest sister-in-law was going to marry into the Xie family, but…

why didn’t they even tell her that her eldest brother and his wife were holding a wedding banquet? In addition, she hadn’t been home for only half a month, so how could her second brother’s family break up?

Although she also disliked Du Guirong, she felt even more distressed when she saw her second brother’s depressed look!

“Mom and Dad, why don’t we try to persuade our second brother when he’s like that?”

Xie Ruhua asked the two elders for advice, but…

“How can we persuade him about this? He has to figure it out himself!”

Hearing this, Xie Ruhua turned to look at her sister again, “Sister…”

Xie Ruyun: “Don’t look at me, I don’t know how to persuade him either.”

Finally, Xie Ruhua looked at Gu Nanzhi for help. Because she was not familiar with her, she was embarrassed to speak, but the look in her eyes and expression were all sending out distress signals…

Gu Nanzhi: “…”

With a complicated look, she glanced at Xie Ruhua, then turned to look at the drizzling rain outside the window.

“Don’t look at me! The sky is falling for me now, there’s nothing I can do…”

Xie Ruhua: “???”

The eldest sister-in-law doesn’t seem to like her?

Everyone: “???”

Why is the sky falling for the eldest sister-in-law? Is it because Wang Bingcheng is so small?

Gu Nanzhi…

really feels like the sky is falling!

It would have been fine if she hadn’t seen Xie Ruhua. She hadn’t expected Xie Ruhua’s ending. Seeing her and the rain that came with her, Gu Nanzhi couldn’t help but think of the plot in the original book…

In the original book, not long after Xu Xiangling was reborn, when the autumn harvest was approaching, a heavy rain suddenly fell in the area where Xiejia Village was located. The rainstorm lasted for three days, flooding all the fertile fields and crushing many houses. Not to mention the accumulated water after the rain, an epidemic broke out!

Many people died in that epidemic, and Tuanzi and Xie Ruhua were among them!

At that time, Xie Ruyun had married into the Gu family and left her two daughters in the Xie family. She failed to elope and was sold to the mountains. Xie Ruhua had to drop out of school and go home to help her sister take care of the children…

The first person in the Xie family to get sick was Xie Ruyun’s youngest daughter Tuanzi. Soon, Xie Ruhua, who took care of her closely, was also infected. The pain of losing her daughter may be one of the reasons why Xie Ruyun went crazy later. Xu Xiangling, who had taken the lead after her rebirth…

Obviously bought the right medicine in advance, but used the medicine to save the old village chief and the village cadres’ families, one for a good reputation, and the other for the qualification of the college entrance examination next year! If a person does not work for himself, he will be punished by heaven 　　and earth.

Gu Nanzhi did not comment on Xu Xiangling’s choice, but… thinking of the natural disaster, she felt that the sky was about to fall!

What to do?

Little Tuanzi is so cute, and Xie Ruhua is just the age of a flower. She can find a way to save them, but what about others?

The medical conditions in this era were so backward that there was a shortage of needles and medicines everywhere. The donkey-cart medicine she bought from the town hospital was because there was no decent barefoot doctor within a dozen miles of Xiejia Village. With her hard work, all the drug quotas in the vicinity were given to her…

She couldn’t buy medicine even if she had money, and the medicine in her space laboratory had a refresh time limit!

A good cook cannot cook without rice. How can she save more people?

Gu Nanzhi was so anxious that she turned around and around. Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed through her mind…

“Mountain!

Go up the mountain to collect herbs!”

Gu Nanzhi turned around and looked at Xie’s mother and others who were a little at a loss because of her, and said in a deep voice, “Don’t go to the fields tomorrow, follow me to the mountain to collect herbs!”

Whether it’s the whitehead, phellodendron, and licorice that stop diarrhea…or the coptis and bupleurum that reduce fever…

pick everything you can, the more the better!

As for the land…

after the heavy rain, all the unripe corn and millet are moldy in the fields. We’ll try to encourage people to harvest them when the time comes. As for the harvest…

don’t hold out hope!

It’s good enough if people don’t starve to death!

Everyone: “???”

looked at Gu Nanzhi in confusion, full of doubts!

“Sister-in-law, you’ve been frowning for so long, just for this?”

Seeing this, Xie Jianbang couldn’t help but put aside his sorrow and spoke in doubt.

Gu Nanzhi: “…”

Blame her for making a fuss?

But can she tell the truth?

She can’t!

So…

“I’m serious!”

Gu Nanzhi said solemnly, “In more than a month, the crops in the fields should be harvested, and after the crops are harvested, we still have to do autumn plowing. It will take a long time to be busy, but when the autumn wind blows through the mountains, many herbs are out of season. I need herbs to nourish Xie Zhenting, and I also need herbs to treat other people…”

“It will cost a lot of money to buy them all at the town hospital, and the profit will be greatly reduced! Anyway, there is nothing to do in the fields now, so you might as well all come with me to the mountains to collect herbs, and then we can stockpile more herbs at home for the winter…”

Since it was about Xie Zhenting, Father and Mother Xie were instantly convinced!

As for Xie Jianbang, his eldest brother was important, and his eldest sister-in-law’s profit was more important. He compromised very quickly!

As for the rest, Xie Ruyun was the one who followed the advice, but Xie Ruhua…

“Didn’t they say that autumn is the harvest season?”

Xie Ruhua asked, it’s not the season yet…

“You don’t understand!”

Seeing that he had convinced most of the family, Gu Nanzhi breathed a sigh of relief and waved his hand, saying, “Medicinal herbs are different from crops! Medicinal herbs have different seasons for picking in each season, so shouldn’t we avoid the busy farming season? They

are indispensable at home, so it’s always good to stock up some medicinal herbs in advance!” Xie Ruhua was also convinced.

After obtaining the unanimous consent of the family, Gu Nanzhi finally let go of her worries. In order to prevent revealing too much emotion, she filled a basin of water and hid in Xie Zhenting’s house.

Xie Zhenting: “…”

Hearing the footsteps of the woman coming, he frowned slightly.

The footsteps were a little messy. What happened to this woman? Or did something happen at home?

“Xie Zhenting, I have good news and bad news for you!”

The familiar words came, and Xie Zhenting: “!!!”

His heart was immediately hanging!

The last time this woman spoke to him like this, she didn’t bring any good news. This time…

“The good news is that your brother and Du Guirong are divorced!”

Gu Nanzhi said while wiping Xie Zhenting’s face.

Xie Zhenting: “!!!”

What kind of good news is this?

His brother is a widower, what about his nephew Yuanbao? With whom?

“The bad news is that I clearly know that a disaster is about to befall, but what I can do is just a drop in the bucket…”

Gu Nanzhi’s voice was full of helplessness.

Heavy rains have caused disasters, and once the epidemic occurs after the disaster, it will affect many people. Even if the whole family is persuaded, how much medicine can they collect? How many people can they save?

It’s not that she didn’t want to ask the sweeping monk in the town hospital for help, but…

that sweeping monk is not an ordinary person, and he won’t be as easy to fool as the Xie family!
