Chapter 169 Busy
He wasn't stupid either. He couldn't understand Bai Zhi's intentions, and he was moved in his heart. This girl is a person who appreciates gratitude and repays love, so he didn't miss the point and didn't help the wrong person.
Back home, Doctor Lu was waiting at the door. Seeing them coming back, he quickly asked, "Is Master Meng here?"
Bai Zhi hurriedly said: "We went into the mountains to collect herbs today, and encountered a fierce tiger attack. In order to save me, he was injured a little and has already returned. Do you have anything to do with him?"
When he heard that Mr. Meng was injured by a tiger, Dr. Lu was also taken aback: "Is the injury serious?"
Bai Zhi shook his head: "I passed out at the time, and I didn't see the wound. According to Hu Feng, it seemed that it was just a flesh wound, so it should be fine."
Dr. Lu sighed and sighed, "It seems that the Bai family's case will have to wait for him to recover before breaking it."
"The case of the Bai family? What case?" Bai Zhi was at a loss.
Doctor Lu took out the IOU from his arms, and recounted what happened when he went to Bai's house to ask for a debt, "Fortunately, I was on guard against her, so I showed her a fake one first, and I guessed right, this is the case. The old woman didn't plan to pay back the money at all."
Bai Zhi sighed silently, and said, "This family's top products are really coming out one after another, and it's endless. Doctor Lu, don't let them go, or they will think it's a skill to default on their debts."
Doctor Lu nodded: "Who said no, that's why I came to see Doctor Meng. Since he's not here, I'll go to the yamen to find him another day."

It is said that Bai Erzhu's family went directly to Zhang's second brother's house after digging wild vegetables. Zhang Erniu is an honest man with a good heart. Seeing that his sister's family came and brought the freshly dug wild vegetables, he hurriedly told his daughter-in-law to cook more. Porridge.
The family was full of food at Zhang Erniu's house, and then returned to Bai's house with an empty basket.
Bai Dazhu's family was starving with their chests against their backs, all sitting at the door waiting for the second family to come back.
Bai Dabao suddenly jumped up, pointed to the figure in the distance and said, "Come here, they are back."
The old lady Bai, who was sitting in the room, heard the words and walked out. She saw the Erzhu family coming back with a basket on their backs. A smile finally appeared on her originally tense face, and she hurriedly reached out and pushed Liu Shi: "Alright. What are you doing? Go and boil the water."
There is no rice or oil at home, and the wild vegetables can only be boiled and eaten when they are dug up.
Although boiled wild vegetables are astringent and bitter, they are better than hungry ones. It’s good to eat them.
Liu Shi was so hungry that he had no strength to work, even standing was too laborious: "Mother, I haven't eaten for a few meals, and my eyes are so hungry that I'd better let my younger brother and sister cook."
Mrs. Bai glared at her: "Don't talk nonsense, she was reluctant to go out, and now you just come back and let her work again? Do you think she is Zhao Lan? So easy to talk?"
Liu looked at his two sons, and the two sons turned to look elsewhere. Her husband's hands were not yet healed, and he couldn't count on it. . .
Mr. Liu walked slowly to the back of the kitchen and poured the water into the pot. Before the fire was lit, he heard scolding coming from the front.
She hurriedly dropped the firewood in her hand and ran to the front yard in a hurry. She saw a family of four in the second room, each carrying a basket in their hands, but the basket was empty, not to mention wild vegetables, not even a single green grass.
She rushed forward, looked at the baskets one by one, and swept around the courtyard again, there was really not a single wild vegetable!
Holding the empty basket, she asked Mrs. Zhang, "Where's the vegetables? Where are the wild vegetables you dug?"
