Chapter 392 She Wants to Carry the Chu Family's Back
When planting plants, you can spend gold coins to ripen them quickly, but it is generally not necessary and a waste of gold coins. Instead, use fertilizers, pesticides, and growth hormones and wait for them to mature naturally.
However, Qiao Lian'er was busy treating Old Madam Chu's eyes, so he ripened these herbs. After thinking about it, he ripened a few more herbs that could strengthen the body.
A large amount of gold coins were spent, and the herbs in an acre of land grew rapidly visibly, directly shortening the ten-year growth period to half an hour.
Otherwise, it will take several days to ten days to grow in space before it can be harvested.
There are instructions for using the herbs in the warehouse. Crush them, apply them to the eyes, and wrap them in a cloth to eliminate blurriness and soothe tired nerves.
Qiao Lianer took out a few plants, cleaned the stone mortar at home first, then washed the herbs, put them together with the roots in the mortar and crushed them.
She walked into the hall. The Qiao family members did not want to disturb the Chu family's parents and daughter's chatter and went to sleep. There were only three people inside.
"Jian'er, come here quickly. Grandma wants to talk to you more. I thought you were asleep."
When Old Madam Chu listened carefully to the footsteps, she knew it was Qiao Lianer.
"Grandma, your eyesight is not good. I prepared some herbs. Apply them on your eyes. They will help you see better soon."
"Oh, Jian'er is so thoughtful." Old Madam Chu also applied medicine at home, but there was no medicine that was particularly effective for the eyes. She would have to wait at least two or three months before she could see clearly. She would just consider it as fulfilling her granddaughter's good intentions.
"Mother, all the things that Jianer took out are good things. Maybe they will really be useful." Qiao Yunni helped Mrs. Chu up: "Mother, go to bed. It will be easier to apply the medicine."
The Qiao family had already prepared rooms for the guests. Several of the attendants who came slept in the back storeroom, which was also equipped with a bed frame to facilitate accommodation in case of a large number of people.
After applying medicine to Old Madam Chu's eyes, they sat by the bed and talked for a while before the mother and daughter came out.
Old Master Chu was not in a hurry to sleep. He was drinking tea and chatting with Old Man Qiao. Laughter could be heard from the tea table from time to time.
"Brother, please don't call me Master Chu. It sounds strange. Since we have a daughter in common, why don't we become sworn brothers? It will be easier for us to interact in the future. What do you think?"
Old Man Qiao was flattered: "But——"
After all, he is an official. It is a bit presumptuous for him to treat him as a brother.
Old Master Chu shook his head: "No buts, this is my wish, and I hope you can fulfill it."
Old man Qiao thought, since no one cares, there is no need for him to be obsessed with it, otherwise he would seem too stingy.
Without further hesitation, I agreed without hesitation.
The two of them became sworn brothers in front of the shrine, vowing to share happiness and hardship.
Old Man Chu was about to look for a dagger to cut a drop of blood into the bowl, but Old Man Qiao quickly stopped him.
"Brother, it's enough if you show your kindness. There's no need to resort to violence. We don't practice that here."
The main reason was that Mr. Chu was too weak and had come all the way bumpy. Now it was late at night and he began to look drowsy, only relying on a little bit of interest to keep going.
After the sworn brotherhood, Old Man Qiao asked Old Man Chu to go to bed quickly.
"You don't have to rush to get up tomorrow morning. Get enough rest and refresh yourself. Leave a hot breakfast for your brothers and sisters."
"Listen, brother. I'm also feeling sleepy. When I get better, I'll have a drink with you."
Seeing the harmony between the two, Qiao Yunni and Qiao Jianer looked at each other and smiled.
In such a situation, recognizing one's relatives is such a wonderful thing.
Qiao Yunni couldn't sleep, so Qiao Lianer sat with her under the pavilion.
"Jian'er, should we expand our business to the state capital?"
"Yes, mother, but now we have expanded nationwide. The state capital is just a better place to stay. It's more convenient."
A hint of relief appeared on Qiao Yunni's face. At least she could help her daughter in this matter.
"Your grandparents are in the state capital. I feel more at ease knowing they will take care of you when you go to Yuezhou."
"Mom, how do you feel now?" Qiao Lianer asked.
"I am now..." Qiao Yunni thought carefully: "I feel down-to-earth, happy, and have a sense of responsibility."
"A sense of responsibility?"
"Well, it's to make your grandpa and grandma better. Also, I'm their only offspring, so I need to improve my abilities and skills to support the family."
She has three older brothers, and the Qiao family also has such a powerful sickle, so it is not her turn to carry the burden of the Qiao family.
But the Chu family really needs her.
"Mom, I'll be with you and we'll make both families better." said Qiao Lianer.
"Good sickle." Qiao Yunni said with relief.
The sickle is her reassurance.
At this time, the Song family couldn't sleep either. They gathered together around a tung oil lamp and discussed in low voices.
But the main focus was on listening to Song Ruier, and the Song family members did not interrupt.
After all, Song Ruier's bloodline is different. The men in her family are either dead or fled. Song Daming and Song Xiaoming are two idiots.
The hope of this family lies on Song Ruier.
"It's settled. No one but me should go around in front of the Chu family. If you mess up, don't blame me for not recognizing you."
"Anyway, I'm in this family now, and both my parents are gone."
Old Lady Song was shocked: "My dear, Rui'er, what nonsense are you talking about? You acknowledged the second wife, and I am your biological grandmother."
Song Rui'er snorted, "As long as you don't cause any trouble, and don't shout about me being the Chu family's grandson in front of the villagers, if you arouse the Qiao family's vigilance and tell them about what happened in the past, will there be any good things happening then?"
"I don't know where my father is. He's not sure whether he's dead or alive. Fortunately, the Chu family showed up. The Song family still has a chance to change their fate. It might even be their only chance."
"Whoever dares to destroy this hope will not be spared."
Shen nodded: "Then I will follow your arrangements. You must make the Chu family accept you as their grandson from the bottom of their hearts. When the Chu family climbs up again, your life will be much easier, and the Song family will also benefit."
Song Ruier looked at the greedy looks of the Song family members and felt disgusted from the bottom of her heart.
When Song Ruier becomes successful, the first thing he will do is to kick these people out so that they don't drag him down.
"Grandma, it's not easy to get things done in the village. I'm going to the town school tomorrow. I'll be waiting for the Chu family there."
It would cost ten taels of silver a year to study in the town school. Old Mrs. Song felt the pain in her heart, but when she thought about the future wealth, she felt that this expense was totally worth it, so she gritted her teeth and agreed.
Old Madam Chu spent the night applying the herbal compress, and the next day Qiao Yunni went to remove the bandage for her.
Then wash away the medicine residue with warm water.
"My eyes seem to be much more comfortable. They used to feel sore and uncomfortable when I got up."
Madam Chu said this in surprise, slowly opening her eyes.
