“Doctor Lu, if you can’t even give me a job, when I get home, my mother…” Tang Rou had a worried expression, she wanted to say something but hesitated. She was beautiful and smart, so when she saw Lu Congyuan frown, she stood up and stood to the side. “I’m sorry, Doctor Lu. I’ll leave now.”
Lu Congyuan looked at her and reminded her kindly, “Miss Tang, I will be leaving soon. It’s not that I don’t want to help Miss Tang, but you won’t be able to work here for long.”
Although Tang Rou looked very pitiful, Lu Congyuan really felt that it was strange for her to come here to find work. He was a doctor, not a landlord. He could not give her work.
Although the villagers knew that Madam Wang did not treat Tang Rou well, she did not beat and scold her. Lu Congyuan had seen patients in the nearby villages and had seen children who were even poorer than Tang Rou. Thus, in his eyes, it was already considered good that Tang Rou was not sold off.
Moreover, Xingshui Village had a good atmosphere and would never allow the sale of children. Tang Rou’s situation was also caused by the Tang family’s greed. However, he had no right to comment on the Tang family’s desire to climb the social ladder.
Thus, he instinctively did not want to get too close to the Tang family.
Tang Rou had originally thought of retreating temporarily in order to advance and was pretending to leave. When she suddenly heard this, she suddenly raised her head, unable to contain her shock. “Doctor Lu, what did you say? You’re leaving? Where are you going?”
Lu Congyuan saw Tang Rou lose her composure and felt it was strange. He was going to leave anyway, so he casually said, “Go home.”
“You won’t come back in the future? Then the patients in our village…” Tang Rou instinctively wanted to ask about Ye Muyu’s condition, but she was afraid that her plan would be discovered by the villagers. She was afraid that things would not end well, so she quickly changed the words that were about to come out of her mouth.
“The villagers can only go to the county to see a doctor in the future.” Doctor Lu also sighed, but he did not say that he would not leave.
Tang Rou knew that Doctor Lu would definitely leave, so she would not have the chance to use Doctor Lu to tamper with Ye Muyu’s medicine.
Tang Rou felt regretful, but she did not want to waste any more time.
Lu Congyuan saw that she had left, so he did not take it to heart and ordered the medicine boy to continue arranging the herbs.
When Ye Muyu reached home, she went straight to the kitchen and started to cook the fish.
Chu Jin returned home from school and went straight to the woodshed. Chu Ziluo was learning how to cook from Ye Muyu in the kitchen and did not notice him.
Chu Jin looked at the wooden box in the woodshed and was overjoyed.
There was also a book beside him, but it was obvious that it was a copy of Zhuge Lock’s articles. Not only that, there were also some rough drawings beside it, but one could vaguely tell that they were Zhuge Lock’s models. Chu Jin casually found a stool and sat down. He then began to polish the last few key parts of the wood.
There were already seven or eight similar wooden blocks in the wooden box. It seemed that more than half of them had been completed. Although they were a little rough, they did not lose their childlike charm. Ye Muyu cooked the fish with pickled vegetables.
She scooped two big bowls.
Finally, he poured hot oil over it, and the fragrance instantly came out.
Ye Muyu placed a bowl of fish with pickled vegetables into the basket. Seeing this, Chu Ziluo looked up and asked, “Mother, are you going to send it to the old residence for Grandfather and Grandmother?”
‘Yes.”
“I think Lil’ Jin should be back. You guys go to the central room to rest for a while. I’ll send this fish with pickled vegetables to the old residence..”
