Chapter 12 Hard Times
When Lu Qingqing saw that Da Shan's face, which had just been dark purple, was beginning to return to normal...
The huge weight on my heart finally lifted. I let out a long sigh of relief.
They quickly packed up all the medical equipment.
As she slowly opened the door, just as she was about to share the good news with everyone,
But they were startled by what they saw.
Suddenly, a large number of people appeared in the courtyard, including the village chief, Lin Feng.
Everyone stared anxiously at the doorway, their eyes filled with anticipation and worry.
Before anyone else could say anything, Lu Qingqing came out.
Sister-in-law Liu Cuihua couldn't wait to step forward.
He said sarcastically, "You took so long to come out, did you kill someone?"
Lu Qingqing glanced at her but ignored her.
She chose to ignore these harsh and sarcastic remarks.
She looked calmly at the anxious Liu Guixiang and said:
"Sister Liu, don't worry, Brother Dashan's snake venom has been neutralized."
He's fine now, go inside and check on him, Brother Dashan will wake up soon.”
Upon hearing Lu Qingqing say that the poison had been neutralized, Liu Guixiang immediately rushed into the room.
The others, wanting to find out what was going on, followed them into the room.
When Liu Guixiang saw Dashan lying on the bed, his complexion had returned to normal, she couldn't help but burst into tears of joy.
Hearing the crying coming from inside the house, Liu Cuihua assumed that Dashan was gone.
Suddenly energized, he burst into a tirade against Lu Qingqing: "It's all your fault, you jinx!"
"They insisted on making a mess of things, and now they've killed someone!"
Her shouts were harsh and unpleasant, but before she could finish speaking,
Unexpectedly, she was scolded by the village chief instead: "Liu Cuihua,"
What nonsense are you spouting! Shut your stinking mouth! Dashanren is all better now!
The village chief's voice was stern and angry, and Liu Cuihua trembled at the sudden rebuke.
The swear words that were about to come out were swallowed back down.
His face turned pale and then flushed, and he stood there at a loss.
The others also cast disapproving glances at Liu Cuihua.
Someone muttered under their breath, "He just talks nonsense. Luckily, Dashan is alright."
Liu Cuihua was extremely embarrassed and immediately turned around and went home.
The village chief walked up to Lu Qingqing, his face full of admiration.
He praised her, saying, "Qingqing, you're amazing!"
Someone just told me that Dashan was bitten by a poisonous snake, and I feel extremely sad.
Throughout history, countless people have been bitten by venomous snakes, but how many have survived?
I don't dare to have too much hope.
"Now that you've saved Dashan, I'm truly happy!"
The village chief was so excited that his hands trembled slightly.
His eyes were filled with gratitude and admiration for Lu Qingqing.
Lu Qingqing blushed slightly, feeling a little embarrassed by the village chief's praise, and said, "Village chief,"
You flatter me. I only did what I could.
The village chief shook his head repeatedly: "This is no compliment."
You truly saved a life and a family!
The surrounding villagers echoed the village chief's words, praising Lu Qingqing highly.
Just then, someone inside the house shouted excitedly, "He's awake! Dashan is awake!"
The village chief immediately went over, and Lu Qingqing followed closely behind.
Upon entering the room, I saw that the person on the bed looked perfectly normal.
No longer in that frightening dark purple state, and now awake.
He was looking at everyone weakly.
Lu Qingqing stepped forward to take his pulse and examined him carefully.
After confirming that the pulse was stable, she turned to Sister Liu and said, "Sister-in-law, don't worry."
I'll give you a prescription; go get the herbs and boil them for Brother Dashan to drink.
Someone, worried that she wouldn't remember, immediately went home and brought back paper and pen.
Lu Qingqing took the paper and pen and wrote down the prescription deftly.
Then he said, "As long as you drink this medicine for three days, Brother Dashan will be completely cured."
But you should rest well these next few days and eat a light diet.
Aunt Liu accepted the prescription with both hands, nodding repeatedly, her eyes filled with tears of gratitude:
"Qingqing, thank you so much. You are a great benefactor to our family."
Lu Qingqing smiled and waved her hand: "Sister-in-law, don't say that."
We're all neighbors and fellow villagers; helping each other is only right.
Seeing this, the village chief smiled with satisfaction: "Alright, alright."
"It's good that Dashan is awake. Everyone can go now and let Dashan get some rest."
The crowd slowly dispersed, still discussing Lu Qingqing's superb medical skills as they left.
Lu Qingqing gave Liu's sister-in-law some instructions and then went home.
To her surprise, as soon as she arrived home, she saw her mother-in-law, Qin Xiulian, waiting for her with a dark expression.
Upon seeing Lu Qingqing, she immediately launched into a tirade: "You jinx!"
Why aren't you staying home? What are you doing out causing trouble? You've gotten yourself into so much trouble!
Lu Qingqing knew without even thinking that Liu Cuihua was behind it.
She didn't refute it, only saying that she was just lucky.
The reason she didn't explain was because Lu Qingqing had other ideas; she actually wanted to separate the family.
If we don't live separately, with these two oddballs in the house, we'll never have a peaceful life.
But their son is still asleep, and I don't know what that person is thinking.
Anyway, it won't be long before the nerve-repairing medication will wake him up.
We'll discuss everything once he wakes up.
If that person doesn't want to separate the family, Lu Qingqing plans to divorce him.
She didn't want her life to continue being such a chaotic mess.
But this makes those children feel so sorry for them.
Seeing that Lu Qingqing remained silent, Qin Xiulian cursed even more fiercely:
Are you mute? Did you hear what I said?
Lu Qingqing took a deep breath, suppressing her agitation, and said, "I understand."
After saying that, he turned and went into his room, leaving Qin Xiulian outside stomping her feet in anger.
When the children saw Lu Qingqing return, they immediately surrounded her happily.
Er Mao tugged at Lu Qingqing's sleeve, blinking his big eyes as he said:
"Mom, you're finally back! We saw that Auntie went home first."
Afraid she would come and steal our rabbits, we moved the basket inside.
Sanmao puffed out her little chest and added proudly, "Yes, Mom, we're very clever!"
Shuang'er nodded along, her face full of nervous anticipation, as if waiting for Lu Qingqing's praise.
Lu Qingqing was both amused and touched upon hearing this.
She knelt down and patted each child's head.
He exclaimed, "The children are wonderful! They know how to protect our belongings!"
The children's faces lit up with bright smiles upon hearing Lu Qingqing's praise.
When Lu Qingqing saw the kitchen cabinet door locked again, her heart sank once more.
Fortunately, there were still two cartons of milk and bread left in the room.
There were also a few pastries as a system reward.
Lu Qingqing secretly breathed a sigh of relief and turned to the children, saying:
"Kids, go wash your hands first, then come and eat in a bit."
The children obediently ran to wash their hands, and Lu Qingqing watched their retreating figures.
Thinking to myself, I must sell the herbs tomorrow.
Otherwise, the whole family would starve.
She frowned, pondering where to sell the herbs tomorrow and how to get a good price.
After the children washed their hands and returned, Lu Qingqing took the food out of her spatial storage and distributed it to them.
Watching the children wolf down their food, she secretly vowed...
We must make money quickly to escape this miserable life of poverty.
