Chapter 277 The Female Cannon Fodder Who Falsely Claims Favors in the Historical Literature 18
Cheng Shuo was happy now. He picked up the axe and started chopping the firewood in the corner.
Hao Zhi and Jiang Yueshu were startled by his sudden action and looked at each other in confusion.
Jiang Yueshu scratched his head, thinking that Cheng Shuo's mood was quite changeable. Just as he was thinking about it, the person who was chopping wood just now came over silently.
He approached the two of them without saying anything, but just glanced at Hao Zhi and then at the door.
Hao Zhimi stared, not knowing what it meant.
Until Cheng Shuo repeated the action again, holding the axe in his hand with a threatening look——
As danger approached, Hao Zhi suddenly had an epiphany!
So what! This is to let him go?
OK, OK! Do you forget your old love when you have a new one?
Hao Zhi suddenly felt as if his soul had been struck by a severe blow, and he looked at a heartless man with an expression that made him feel aggrieved.
Jiang Yueshu: “…?”
Perhaps Jiang Yueshu's doubts were too obvious. As their eyes met, Hao Zhi's expression slowly changed.
Looking at Cheng Shuo and then at Jiang Yueshu, Hao Zhi's eyes lingered on the two of them. He seemed to know something and smiled as if he had drunk honey. Then he said to the two of them meaningfully, "You guys talk properly, I won't disturb you," and then flew away.
Jiang Yueshu: “???”
Sorry, she really wanted to say, what a magical gold!
In the weird atmosphere, Cheng Shuo first glared at Hao Zhi who was walking away, then his expression changed quickly and he spoke to Jiang Yueshu in a gentle manner.
"Those grapes we bought there last time were...weird."
As if he didn't know how to describe it, Cheng Shuo changed his words, "My mother has always had a cough problem, but after eating grapes, her cough was relieved the next day. After she ate the dishes you left, her cough was also much better."
"I always feel like... the vegetables and fruits I bought that day are all magical."
It took him several days to figure it out. At first he thought his mother's condition had improved a little, but as soon as she stopped eating those fruits and vegetables, her cough returned to normal.
With a guess in mind, he did some experiments and naturally figured out the benefits of those fruits and vegetables, so he also wanted to ask Jiang Yueshu if she had the same feeling.
Jiang Yueshu nodded when she heard this, "Indeed, those vegetables and fruits are very special, and the person selling them is someone we both know."
Cheng Shuo's eyes widened, recalling the person's appearance, "Who is it? She was wrapped so tightly, I don't know anything else except that she is a woman."
"It's Zhao Xue."
"Ah?" Cheng Shuo asked in surprise, as if he had heard something incredible, "How could it be her?"
"I don't know either. Maybe she has other methods." Jiang Yueshu shook her head. Even if there really was a space, she couldn't say it so bluntly.
Cheng Shuo tapped the table in distress, seemingly thinking about something.
After a while, he stopped tapping and suddenly said, "I'll go find out about her last sale and see if I can take over her business."
Jiang Yueshu nodded. She had originally had the same idea. After all, Zhao Xue's attitude towards her was a little weird. She always felt like she was looking for trouble.
She also wanted to know…why?
Two days later, Jiang Yueshu went to Cheng's house for another meal, and Hao Zhi was also at the table.
After a satisfying meal, Hao Zhi couldn't wait to tell Jiang Yueshu what he had heard. "Comrade Jiang, there is indeed a woman named Liu Hongjuan in our village. Her situation is similar to what you described. She became a widow ten years ago, and then married to your village with her two children."
After saying this, he said somewhat awkwardly, "It's your stepmother."
Jiang Yueshu nodded in understanding, "Anything else? Any gossip about her and Wang Chaoyang?"
Hao Zhi was surprised, "Wow! How did you know?"
After saying that, he looked around uncomfortably. "Liu Hongjuan was pretty when she was young. She was a beauty in Lianhua Village. She got along well with many young men in the same village, and Wang Chaoyang was one of them. Some people even saw Wang Chaoyang helping her with work."
"But the Wang family was not well-off, so naturally the two of them didn't get married. Liu Hongjuan simply chose the best man from her fellow villager from among the bunch of admirers to marry. Later, her ex-husband got seriously ill and died a few years later. After that, she became a widow and lived with a son and a daughter. Then she married here."
"Then when did Wang Chaoyang file for divorce?" Jiang Yueshu suddenly thought of this question.
Seeing that Hao Zhi was a little stuck, she asked again, "Was it before or after Liu Hongjuan became a widow?"
Hao Zhi frowned and sorted out his thoughts, "It seems to be later."
Hao Zhi was a little confused as to why Jiang Erya asked such a strange question. Could it be that Wang Chaoyang’s divorce was related to Liu Hongjuan?
He was deep in thought, then suddenly thought of something and exclaimed.
"No way! When Wang Chaoyang wanted to divorce, he didn't want to get divorced and be with Liu Hongjuan!"
He just checked the time and found that after Liu Hongjuan became a widow, Wang Chaoyang started to file for divorce. Later, after Liu Hongjuan married into Xinghua Village, Wang Chaoyang stopped filing for divorce.
This seems like too much of a coincidence!
If Jiang Erya hadn't asked specifically, he would never have thought of connecting the two things together.
Thinking of this, the contempt between Hao Zhi's brows became even stronger, and he seemed to be extremely disdainful of Wang Chaoyang.
Jiang Yueshu was thoughtful, and suddenly remembered the scene of dividing the meat at the dinner table. Now she felt that it was very likely that Jiang Zhuang was the biological son of Jiang Aiguo and Liu Hongjuan.
What about Liu Qingqing?
If Wang Chaoyang loves Liu Qingqing because of her former love for her, then shouldn't he be better to Liu Hongjuan's biological son Jiang Zhuang?
But Liu Hongjuan did not bring Jiang Zhuang with her.
So, is there something wrong with Liu Qingqing's background?
Jiang Yueshu lowered her eyes and continued to connect the clues she had obtained -
"What's wrong with you?" Cheng Shuo waved his hand in front of Jiang Yueshu.
Jiang Yueshu then came to her senses and found that Cheng Shuo was looking at her with concern. Hao Zhi, who had been sitting there just now, left at some point.
"what happened?"
Cheng Shuo shook his head, "It's okay, you didn't respond when I talked to you just now."
After a pause, he continued, "There's news about the man who sold grapes last time."
"What?" Jiang Yueshu then sat up straight and focused her attention on Cheng Shuo's words.
"Last time, maybe that person was selling for the first time and didn't know the rules. After a while, when someone came to check, everyone ran away." Cheng Shuo repeated to Jiang Yueshu.
"Tsk, then she has pretty bad luck." Jiang Yueshu sighed.
"Yeah, maybe I can do this business with her next time she goes there."
Cheng Shuo also agreed with this statement, which was actually a good thing for him.
Jiang Yueshu listened to the occasional coughs coming from the Cheng family's room and couldn't help but ask, "I've learned a lot from Doctor Zhang these days. How about letting me take your mother's pulse?"
Cheng Shuo uttered "Ah" silently, as if he was shocked by Jiang Yueshu's sudden and nonsensical idea.
After a while, he regained his composure, opened his mouth, and said, "If you want to take a look, go ahead, and we'll come out after you're done."
He had asked Dr. Zhang to see his mother before, but with Dr. Zhang's level of expertise, he could only alleviate the condition but not completely eradicate it.
Doctor Zhang said that if you want to completely cure this disease, you may have to go to a big hospital in Kyoto, but there is no guarantee that it can be cured.
So he basically had no hope. Not to mention that Erya had only been studying medicine for a short time, the only thing she learned from Doctor Zhang was that it was very likely that the disease could not be cured.
She just wants to take a look, so let her take a look.
He will persuade her again when he comes out later.
Jiang Yueshu didn't expect that Cheng Shuo didn't object, but agreed immediately. How much he trusted her!
She immediately followed Cheng Shuo with great motivation. After greeting Cheng's mother, she gently stretched out her hand to take her pulse. While feeling Cheng's mother's physical condition, she was thinking about how to cure it.
After taking Mother Cheng's pulse, she discovered that she had many minor ailments. Her cough needed to be cured completely, so she had to solve those minor problems one by one.
Cheng Shuo looked at her professional pulse-taking technique and was slightly surprised but did not interrupt her.
After she finished the diagnosis, Jiang Yueshu and Cheng Shuo left the inner room one after another.
Before Jiang Yueshu could speak, Cheng Shuo tried to comfort her first.
"It's okay. My mother's illness is an old one. She has seen many doctors in rural towns and villages, but no one can cure it. You have only learned it for such a short time, so it's okay if you don't know it."
Jiang Yueshu was confused for a moment. Was Cheng Shuo trying to... comfort her?
"Don't worry, although I can't cure Aunt Cheng's disease immediately, I can treat some of her minor ailments first." Although Jiang Yueshu was smiling, her tone was extremely serious.
Cheng Shuo was really stunned this time, and stood there in an idiot as if he had heard it wrong.
Although he and Jiang Erya had only known each other for a short time, he knew her and she never spoke empty words, so - did she mean that she could be cured?
But didn’t she just learn it?
Cheng Shuo thought in a daze, still wondering if he was hallucinating.
Jiang Yueshu saw that he was dumbfounded and thought that Cheng Shuo was just worried about her medical skills. After all, she only learned a little bit from Doctor Zhang, which was hard to convince people.
Thinking of this, Jiang Yueshu repeated what she had just said, looked at Cheng Shuo sincerely and asked, "Cheng Shuo, do you believe me?"
Cheng Shuo looked at her blankly, then he realized that he had heard it right.
Although he found this statement incredible, looking at her serious eyes, he knew that what she said was true.
She is so thin, she is the weak woman Jiang Erya in everyone's eyes, but when she hunts, her eyes are firm and confident, and she almost never misses her target with her arrows.
She can cover her face, she can change her voice, it seems like she can do everything.
She sought justice for him in front of everyone, and she swore that she had sprained her ankle. The next moment, in full view of everyone, she really sprained her ankle.
Every time she said something, it was convincing, and this time was no exception.
"Yes, I believe you." Cheng Shuo nodded heavily.
Jiang Yueshu then took out a pen and paper and wrote down a prescription in just a few strokes. She handed the prescription to Cheng Shuo and said.
"Take this list to see Doctor Zhang and have him take a look." Jiang Yueshu blinked, "Although I am very confident, I can also check it with Doctor Zhang."
"You must go!"
Cheng Shuo curled his lips and smiled, which meant to reassure him.
When he took the list to see Doctor Zhang, Doctor Zhang took it curiously and read it carefully. After a while, he nodded and said, "Yes, this list is very suitable for people with a weak constitution like your mother. It is very good for regulating qi and blood, and it will not affect other symptoms."
He took out the pulse record he had made after diagnosing Cheng's mother's pulse. The more he looked at it, the more he felt that the record was extremely well written.
Mother Cheng's illness was like several balls of thread tangled together, a big ball of thread tangled with several small balls of thread, forming one dead knot after another. No matter where you start, it will almost cause changes in the other balls of thread, making it difficult to prescribe medicine.
With his level of skill, he could only make this tangled mess of threads less tangled. He didn't even dare to prescribe medicine for fear of causing mutations in other diseases.
But the list that Cheng Shuo was holding solved this problem very well. It seemed that one of the small balls of thread was separated from the others, so that the other balls of thread could be solved step by step.
"Well, this list is really good. Cheng boy, where did you find someone to see your mother?" Doctor Zhang finally took his eyes off the pulse record and the list, and asked with interest.
Cheng Shuo didn't expect that Doctor Zhang would praise this list so much. He couldn't help but feel a little excited, but he still politely declined.
"Doctor Zhang, this is written by a doctor I met by chance. I don't know where she practices... or what her name is."
Well, since she didn't let him say it, he wouldn't say it.
Hearing this, Doctor Zhang held Cheng Shuo's hand more intimately, "Cheng boy, when the time comes, you go and ask, but you must tell me, I would like to meet such a talent! This prescription is really wonderful, why didn't I think of it?"
Doctor Zhang began to read the pulse records and prescription lists with great interest again. He sighed from time to time and talked to himself, immersed in them.
Cheng Shuo: “…”
"...Doctor Zhang, how about you get the medicine first?"
"Wait until I get the medicine, then you can have a look?"
Doctor Zhang always ignored him and seemed to be completely immersed in his own world.
Cheng Shuo immediately shouted to the outside of the door, "Hey, doctor, you're here, your prescription is in Doctor Zhang's hand!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Doctor Zhang, who had been intoxicated just now, suddenly came to his senses and rushed to the door. He looked around for a long time and found nothing. He couldn't help but wonder, "Cheng boy, where is the person?"
Cheng Shuo shook his head and said, "Doctor Zhang, please prescribe the medicine according to the prescription first, and I will go find the doctor when the time comes."
Doctor Zhang then realized that Cheng Shuo was just bluffing him. He rolled his eyes, knocked Cheng Shuo on the head and scolded him, "Good for you, you are very smart!"
Cheng Shuo shrank his neck and waited patiently for Doctor Zhang to prescribe the medicine.
Because the fruits and vegetables sold by Zhao Xue are beneficial to Cheng's mother's condition, and Dr. Zhang has determined that they are harmless to the human body after diagnosis, he has been paying attention to Zhao Xue's movements from time to time these days.
