Chapter 260 Li Qing
Jin Yuyao saw Doctor Yun coming in and said, "Doctor Yun, weren't you resting in the backyard? Why are you here?"
Doctor Yun said, "I just asked you what you want to eat, so I can cook something for you."
Jin Yuyao said, "No need. Since there isn't anyone around right now, Li Zhangui and I will go check on the medicine boy he mentioned."
Doctor Yun said, "If you want to go out, then go slowly. The road is not easy to walk on. I was just about to say that your cough medicine is very effective. I feel much better now."
Jin Yuyao said, "It's good that it works. We'll leave first, and you can go and rest."
Doctor Yun nodded: "Then you can go, I will close the door."
Jin Yuyao, Manager Li, and Wenzhu left the clinic.
She said, "Shall we go in a carriage?"
Shopkeeper Li said, "The road to that village is very difficult to walk to. I'm afraid we can only walk there. Even if we take a carriage, it won't go far. We still have to walk."
Jin Yuyao said, "Okay, let's just walk.
In this way, the three of them walked out of Qingyun Town and headed towards the village in the suburbs.
The road was very difficult to walk on. The snow had melted and the road was covered with mud.
Seeing this, Shopkeeper Li said, "I'm so sorry, Doctor Jin, but this road is really difficult to walk on. How about we go back?"
Jin Yuyao looked into the distance and said, "Is it still far?"
"It'll take another half an hour anyway."
Jin Yuyao said, "Since we're already out, why don't we go over and take a look? Otherwise, wouldn't we have walked all this way for nothing?"
Wenzhu listened to her and looked at Jin Yuyao.
Jin Yuyao felt her gaze and smiled: "Why are you looking at me like that? I'm not a man."
Wen Zhu blushed and said, "See if you are cold, Doctor Jin?"
"I felt very cold originally, but now I'm not cold anymore when I walk. I feel like sweating now."
After that they continued walking.
Jin Yuyao asked Shopkeeper Li, "I've been so busy these past few days that I forgot to ask you how Li Ning is doing. Is there any news from the government?"
Shopkeeper Li sighed and said, "They just compensated us with some silver. I heard that Lord Zhang had no way to deal with Young Master Wei, and that Prefect Chen couldn't make things too awkward, so he resisted the pressure and beat Young Master Wei with thirty boards and compensated us with some silver.
We didn't really want the money, but we had no choice but to put it aside. Other families will be very satisfied.
We are the only family left and we cannot go against the government, so this is the only way."
Jin Yuyao said, "Things can only be left like this for now. The Wei family won't get far. Sooner or later, someone will take care of them."
Shopkeeper Li nodded.
Wen Zhu said, "The Wei family will not have a good ending sooner or later."
Jin Yuyao heard Wen Zhu speaking with gritted teeth.
She looked at her and said, "Wenzhu, do you know the people from that family? I just heard that you seemed to be very unusual about their family affairs?"
Wen Zhugang looked away and said, "How could that be? How could I know scum like them?"
Jin Yuyao thought Wenzhu must have her own secret, and she didn't want to say more, nor did she want to force it.
Soon we arrived at a village called Lijiacun.
Before entering the village, I saw a man in the field who didn't look like he was working.
Jin Yuyao said: "Look, there's a person over there. There should be no one working in the fields at this time. What is this person doing there?"
Shopkeeper Li shook his head and said, "I really don't know."
When the three of them got closer, they saw a man writing on the snow with a branch.
Jin Yuyao was amazed that this child was not afraid of the cold and was quite hardworking.
Who knew that the shopkeeper Li would say, "Li Qing, why are you here? Aren't you cold?"
Li Qing raised his head and asked, "Uncle, why are you here?"
"I came to you today specifically to ask you something. What are you doing?"
Li Qing smiled and said, "I'm writing. I don't have money to buy paper and pen at home, so it's good to write here and I can erase it."
Jin Yuyao didn't expect that the child would work so hard in the field because of the cold.
Shopkeeper Li said, "We want to go to your house. Can you take us to your house?"
Li Qing looked at them in confusion.
Shopkeeper Li said, "Don't worry, it's a good thing. Li Qing, please come to us."
He nodded.
When Jin Yuyao met the child for the first time, she felt that the child made a good impression on her and was very hardworking.
Li Qing walked in front, and Shopkeeper Li said to Jin Yuyao from behind, "Doctor Jin, this is the child I'm talking about."
Jin Yuyao nodded: "It looks good."
Li Zhangui nodded: "He's a good kid, but he has a bad fate."
Li Qing led them across the village and came to the outside of the village.
I saw a thatched hut in the distance.
Li Qing said excitedly, "That's my home. I'll go tell my mother you're here."
After saying that, he ran towards the thatched hut.
Shopkeeper Li said, "Doctor Jin, please don't mind. These children have never seen the world and don't know much."
Jin Yuyao said, "It's okay. Shopkeeper Li, please don't be like this."
Shopkeeper Li said, "It's mainly because my cousin passed away a few years ago. For a woman to take care of five children, it's already good enough to have enough to eat, not to mention anything else."
Wen Zhu was puzzled and asked, "Why do you have so many children when you are so poor?"
Shopkeeper Li said, "Everyone in the village is like this. They can't read. They just give birth when they get pregnant. Besides, they just feel that as long as they can eat a meal and not starve to death, they are fine."
When Jin Yuyao thought about the present, she realized that the poorer they were, the more children they would have, and the more children they had, the poorer they would become.
When the three of them walked into the yard, they saw Li Qing already supporting an old and sick woman out.
That looks like a sick person.
The woman looked at Jin Yuyao and the others and said, "Why are you here in such cold weather, brother? Come inside and warm up."
The three of them came into the house and saw that scene.
Jin Yuyao thought back to the days in Shangshui Village.
Houses looked like this back then.
At that time, at least I had made a few pieces of furniture in the house myself.
This Lee only has two rooms.
There were several rough benches in the main room, and one of them had three legs.
Li Qing was the oldest and saw a girl standing cautiously beside their mother. Her cotton coat was very thin.
He also looked at Jin Yuyao and the others vigilantly.
The woman asked, "Brother, are you busy today?"
Shopkeeper Li said, "Sister-in-law, this is our boss who is looking for a medicine boy. I think Li Qing might be suitable. Isn't this the boss who came to take a look? Where are the other children?"
Jin Yuyao looked at Li Qing's mother with tears in her eyes and said, "Thank you, big brother. Those people are stuck on the kang in the house without cotton clothes and can't get out."
Shopkeeper Li said, "I forgot to bring some cotton clothes for the children when I came."
Mother Li said, "Big brother has helped us a lot. It's my fault that my body is not up to the task. I didn't expect the host to be a woman. It's really amazing. I admire people like you the most."
She was about to speak when Li Qing said anxiously, "Mom, I can't go with them. What will happen to my family if I leave? Who will take care of my brothers and sisters?"
