Chapter 363 - 363: Young Master in Embroidered Brocade
Li Qingyin’s mother-in-law didn’t believe Chen Ruifeng’s words at all. She grabbed a handful of her hair and asked harshly, ‘Tell me, how much silver did you give to your parents?’
Chen Ruifeng, originally wanting to lie, blurted out, ‘Four taels of silver!’
The villagers immediately pointed fingers at Chen Ruifeng, especially the older generation. Taking the in-law’s money back to subsidize the natal family was considered a grave offense.
“Disgraceful thing! If she were my daughter-in-law, I’d beat her to death!”
“Yes, such an ungrateful woman, it’s better to divorce her.”
“Exactly, since she’s so partial to her natal family, let her go back and see if her natal family will accept her!”
Li Qingyin’s mother-in-law’s face turned extremely dark. In a fit of anger, she slapped Chen Ruifeng again and asked, ‘When did you steal the money?’
Chen Ruifeng, holding her face, tears streaming down, confessed, T started taking it on the third day after I got married. Anyway, you were hiding so much money, what’s wrong with me taking a little?’
Li Qingyin’s mother-in-law, furious and heartbroken, shouted at the top of her lungs. “You quickly go and get the money back for me, otherwise, you can forget about stepping into my house.”
At this moment, Chen Ruifeng pushed her mother-in-law to the ground and shouted, Tn your dreams. She’s my mother, and it’s only natural for me to give her money.’
A villager retorted, ‘It’s natural, but use your own money. Why steal your mother-in-law’s?’
Chen Ruifeng, enraged and embarrassed, retorted, ‘None of your business! It’s my family’s money anyway. Moreover, when this old woman dies, the money will be mine. I’m just taking it in advance.’
Everyone was speechless.
“Get out! Get out of here!” Li Qingyin’s mother-in-law, infuriated, pounded the ground. How could she end up with such a daughter-in-law? Despicable, truly despicable!
At this moment, Xu Fangjun rushed over, kicked Chen Ruifeng, and then helped his mother up. ‘Chen Ruifeng, since you’re so partial to your natal family, go back to your natal family!’
After shouting, he helped his mother back.
Chen Ruifeng couldn’t care less about the pain on her body. She hurriedly chased after him. It was another farce when she returned home.
In the end, Chen Ruifeng was chased back to her natal family. However, her natal family did not accept her and closed the door on her. No matter how she begged, they did not open the door.
Chen Ruifeng returned to beg her in-laws, but they did not open the door for her either. She went back and forth, tortured until she went crazy. In the end, she became a crazy woman.
This happened later. Now that Chen Ruifeng’s family had left, Li Qingyin’s house finally regained peace.
After a while, Yuan Hongjun, Bao Linjiang, and Chu Qingning walked over. The three of them frowned slightly and were a little worried, as if they had encountered a problem.
After seeing Chu Qingzhi, they walked up to her.
Chu Qingzhi looked at them, puzzled. What’s so difficult about collecting some herbs?
Chu Qingning lowered her head and said guiltily, “Fifth Sister, we’ve collected eight types of herbs, but we haven’t collected the other two, turnip, purple hibiscus.”
Chu Qingzhi frowned when she heard that. If she lacked the herbs, she would not be able to replicate the poppy. “Did you ask those herbal merchants?”
Chu Qingning nodded. “We’ve asked around, but they said that these two herbs are usually wild and difficult to plant, so they’re very rare.”
“It’s fine. i’ll go and take a look personally in the afternoon.” Chu Qingzhi thought to herself, turnips and purple hibiscus are not difficult to cultivate. Why did they say it was hard?
Chu Qingning raised her eyes slightly, ‘Fifth Sister, we didn’t handle the matter well. Are you upset with us?’ Failing to complete the first task her fifth sister had given her, she felt very bad.
Chu Qingzhi gently said, ‘Now is the time to solve the problem, not to blame anyone. It’s okay, after lunch, well go to Fengxin County further away to take a look.’
Chu Qingning smiled, ‘Well listen to Fifth Sister.’
After that, Chu Xuhua, Chu Xujin, and the others arrived one after another.
When everyone was here, Li Qingyin wiped her hands and came out. She greeted everyone with a smile, “Everyone must be hungry. Sit, let’s eat.”
Chu Qingyan waved at Li Qingyin. “Aunt, come and sit too.”
Li Qingyin smiled and replied, “Okay, I will be right there.”
Everyone took their seats, and there were three tables of people.
Li Qingyin specially bought a bottle of relatively expensive yellow wine for everyone to drink, showing considerable thoughtfulness.
Chu Qingzhi took a sip of the yellow wine. This wine was delicious, but it lacked a bit of flavor. It was also expensive. It cost one tael of silver half a kilo. Why not brew it herself?
Li Qingyin had prepared a lot of dishes. Every dish was very big and looked delicious.
The happiest was naturally Xu Songnian. He had never had such a lively birthday before and received so many gifts. Even after many years, every time he thought of today, it would put a bright smile on his face.
After the meal, Chu Qingzhi took Chu Qingning and the two disciples and left.
The four of them arrived at the county, rented four horses, and rode to Fengxin County.
Chu Qingzhi turned around and looked at Chu Qingning. She asked with concern, “Fourth Sister, you’ve never ridden a horse before. Are you used to it?”
Chu Qingning puffed out her chest and said proudly, “Fifth Sister, I’ve already learned how to ride a horse.”
Chu Qingzhi was a little surprised. “Since when?”
Chu Qingning smiled and said, “When you went to the northern border. They said that I have to ride a horse if I want to travel in the future, so I started learning. I learned it for two days.”
Chu Qingzhi praised, “Fourth Sister, not bad.”
Chu Qingning raised her eyebrows and said with a lively expression, “As your elder sister, I can’t be too bad, right?”
Chu Qingzhi smiled, raised her whip, and sped up.
Fengxin County.
The largest medical hall in Fengxin County was Fengxin Medicine Hall. The four of them went straight to this medical hall..
The four dismounted at the entrance, and Chu Qingzhi handed the reins to Chu Qingning. “Wait for me here, I’ll go in and ask.”
The three nodded obediently.
The medical hall was bustling with people coming and going. Chu Qingzhi stood at the entrance, observed for a while, and then walked inside.
Inside, there was a counter on the left for taking the herbs, while on the right was the diagnosis room with four doctors. Almost every doctor had a queue of people waiting in front of them.
Looking around, Chu Qingzhi walked straight to the counter. “Buddy, do you have turnips and purple hibiscus in your shop?”
The shop assistant looked up and thought about it…
At the same time, a young man in a wheelchair stopped. Why would anyone specially ask for turnip and purple hibiscus?
The shop assistant thought for a while, then turned back to look at the names pasted on the drawer. As he searched, he scratched his head. These two herbs sounded familiar, but why couldn’t he remember them?
The young master in embroidered brocade pushed his wheelchair out…
When Chu Qingzhi heard the sound of wheels, she subconsciously turned around. The person in the wheelchair could be described as… bright as the moon..
