Chapter 259 If You Want Medicine, Bring Silver
Mrs. Gao stood still, tears streaming down her face, with a thousand unwillingness and sadness in her heart.
As soon as she got home, a middle-aged steward in a robe stood in the house. She didn't know what he said, but her mother-in-law and the child's father were shocked and happy, and then dragged her to pick up people.
On the way, she found out that the man had promised one thousand taels of silver to take the child and the medicine called Yuxueji back.
What does one thousand taels of silver mean to a family like theirs? It is a number that cannot be reached even in the sky. Along the way, her mother-in-law kept muttering that with this silver, her brother-in-law could say that he was a scholar's daughter who could read and count, and her sister-in-law could also have a decent dowry and a wealthy in-laws.
The mother-in-law was so happy, as if one thousand taels had already been in her hands.
Mrs. Gao was completely confused and asked, "What about Yan'er?"
"Yan'er is just a girl. As long as she can give birth, she will be able to find a husband in the future. Even if her face is not good-looking, it doesn't matter. As a woman, the most important thing is to give birth to a son, otherwise it will be useless even if she grows up to be a flower." said the mother-in-law.
This is quite meaningful.
She looks good, but she can't give birth to a boy for the Gao family.
Mrs. Gao looked at her husband, who turned his eyes away, obviously with the same idea as her mother-in-law.
Mrs. Gao lowered her eyes: "What if I don't want to."
The mother-in-law slapped her and said tartly: "How can you make the decision in this family? If you don't want to, Quanzi, give her a divorce letter and let her go."
Mrs. Gao covered her face and looked at Gao Xiaoquan again: "Yan'er is your own daughter. If her face is ruined, her life will be ruined."
Gao Xiaoquan said nothing and expressed his attitude with silence.
"If I don't even accept the divorce letter, will you kill me and Yan'er?" Madam Gao was chilled and murmured.
"Why are you talking so much nonsense? Go quickly. If you scare Yan'er, I will kill you." The mother-in-law pushed her out.
Madam Gao has been thinking about Qin Liuxi's words until now.
If she goes home, she can't keep the medicine, or even her life.
So that's what she meant.
"Why are you still standing there like an idiot? Why don't you go quickly?" Madam Gao was about to slap her again.
But the slap didn't fall. Her hand seemed to be held by something and couldn't move.
Madam Gao was stunned for a moment. She wanted to move, but she couldn't move at all. The look on her face gradually changed from shock to horror. What happened? Why couldn't she move?
"I, I..." Madam Gao almost screamed out of fear.
Is there a ghost here?
Qin Liuxi looked at Si Lengyue with amusement and shook his head slightly.
Si Lengyue shook her head and said coldly: "Although it is very common for a mother-in-law to torture her daughter-in-law, I can't bear to see her beating her daughter-in-law in public like this."
Mrs. Gao's hands were suddenly free again, her face turned pale, and she looked around vigilantly.
Shopkeeper Ye looked at Qin Liuxi, look, what happened?
Qin Liuxi put his hands behind his back and said: "If you want to take the child away, then take it away, Shopkeeper Ye, appoint someone to take them to hold the child."
Mrs. Gao was stunned, and the others were surprised.
"What are you still standing there for? Go quickly." Mrs. Gao pushed Mrs. Gao, and seeing her standing there stupidly, she was so angry that she almost jumped up, and could only push her son: "You go and hold it yourself."
Shopkeeper Ye saw that Qin Liuxi didn't seem to be joking, so he nodded to the waiter: "Take him."
The waiter took Gao Xiaoquan and took Yan'er out.
But, where is the medicine?
Gao Xiaoquan and Mrs. Gao looked at each other, then at Mrs. Gao, and said, "How can you, as a mother, not bring the medicine?" Seeing that she didn't hear anything at all, he couldn't help but get angry, pushed her away, and asked with a shy smile, "Um, doctor, where is the medicine for my granddaughter's face?"
Si Lengyue was really angry and laughed, and said coldly beside Qin Liuxi, "They have never asked about Yan'er's injury since they came in. Now that she has been brought out, the father saw his daughter's face wrapped in a circle and didn't say a word, and there was no pain in his eyes. The grandmother didn't even look at her, let alone care. Oh, now she cares about the medicine, it's ridiculous."
Qin Liuxi's face was calm.
This is human nature.
Qin Liuxi said, "What medicine?"
"The medicine for my granddaughter." Mrs. Gao looked at her granddaughter and saw that her face was wrapped in gauze. She frowned and relaxed.
Qin Liuxi said: "The medicine for her facial injury is my personal secret recipe, which is not passed on to others. But if you have enough money, I can prepare it for you to take back and apply."
Mrs. Gao was stunned: "Give me money, how much?"
Qin Liuxi looked at Shopkeeper Ye: "Tell them how much Yuxueji sells for on the market now."
Shopkeeper Ye coughed lightly and said: "A bottle of Yuxueji, the size of my finger, costs at least 10,000 taels of silver, and it's still hard to get it. If you go to the auction house to bid, you may have to double it. Do you know the Jiuxuan Auction House? The highest price this Yuxueji has ever been sold for is 110,000 taels."
Of course, the amount of that bottle is larger.
But in recent years, Yujihua is rare, and someone is too lazy to refine it. There are very few Yuxueji that can be circulated on the market, so the price is also high.
"What, how much?" Mrs. Gao's lips began to tremble.
"110,000 taels."
Mrs. Gao's legs softened and she fell to the ground.
Gao Xiaoquan almost couldn't hold his daughter in his arms, and his legs were also weak.
Mrs. Gao was shocked. Seeing that Grandma Tu San was so obsessed with the medicine, she knew it must be very expensive, but she didn't know it was so expensive.
But Qin Liuxi took less than one penny from her.
Mrs. Gao looked at Qin Liuxi with her eyes tightened, her lips moved, and tears flashed in her eyes.
"The wound on your granddaughter's face, not to mention the main medicine Yuxueji, even the pearl powder is of the best quality. The pearl powder used in the medicine on her wound, even if it is cheap, costs five taels of silver." Shopkeeper Ye smiled and said, "Look, this medicine will cost more than a thousand taels? It will take several more patches to heal."
"It's just a money-losing product, and you want thousands of taels of silver to treat the wound, you are robbing money!" Mrs. Gao's voice trembled.
Shopkeeper Ye's expression was restrained, and he said in a deep voice: "Madam, you are also someone who lives in Qingzhou City, right? Everyone in Qingzhou Prefecture knows that the famous medicine of Changsheng Palace is good but expensive. It is fair to all, and anyone who wants to buy it is not forced to buy or sell it. You are not the first one who said we are robbing money, but there are also many people who say they are robbing money but come to rob money, such as the noble who asked you to come."
Gao's expression changed, her eyes evaded, and she stuttered: "I, I don't know what you are talking about."
"It doesn't matter whether you know it or not, I just tell you that this medicine can be prepared for you to take back. Considering Yan'er is so pitiful, one thousand taels per medicine, bring silver to get the medicine." Shopkeeper Ye said lightly: "If you don't have money, you can leave, I won't see you off."
