Chapter 100: Accident (2)
Chapter 100 Accident (2)
Maybe it was too cheap and made people think that what she was selling was a fake, or maybe everyone didn't believe that a blind old woman could get Sikong Liu's Longevity Pill, and almost no one cared about it.
Ning Yue walked over and knelt down in front of her: "Are you selling real medicine?"
The old lady rolled her eyes: "If you don't believe me, don't buy it!"
"Then I'll take a look first." Ning Yue said, going to get the porcelain bottle on the ground. No wonder everyone doesn't believe it's real, it's so messy that you don't even have the desire to look at it!
"Hmph!" The old lady seemed to be very disdainful of Ning Yue's behavior of testing the medicine.
Ning Yue took out the veil and poured a longevity pill on the veil, the longevity pill would melt in the mouth, and it would melt easily if it came into direct contact with the skin.
Seeing her professional appearance, the old lady raised her eyebrows, but soon she was filled with disdain again.
Ning Yue smelled it, huh? It's really longevity pill! How can it be sold so cheaply? The cost of a longevity pill is more than ten taels!
"Where did you get the goods?" Ning Yue asked strangely.
The old lady gave Ning Yue a blank look, and snorted, "Buy it if you buy it, and if you don't buy it, you'll lose it! I hate this kind of talkative person the most!"
Good temper!
But... If you don’t buy it, you don’t buy it for nothing. How good it is for her to honor the old lady and eldest sister with such a good thing!
"How many do you have? I want them all!"
The old lady turned around, took out a box from behind, and threw it in front of Ning Yue: "One hundred and twenty, that's all for those that haven't expired!"
One hundred... twenty? ! He also said that they hadn't expired. So, many of hers were actually expired?
Sikong Liu only dedicated three pieces to the emperor every month, and the shelf life is one year. Wouldn’t this half-blind mother-in-law get ten pieces every month? !
The old lady said impatiently: "Do you want to check each one?"
"want!"
Then, the old lady watched Ning Yue check all the 120 pills in a very speechless manner.
Ning Yue stood up and clapped her hands: "Wait a minute, I'll get the money!" There was not so much money when she went out.
Unexpectedly, when Ning Yue borrowed 1,200 taels of silver notes from Mrs. Chen, the old woman who set up the stall miraculously disappeared. The stall is still there, with the words "I will give you the medicine first, and I will ask you for money later" written crookedly on the paper.
It seems that he left very hastily.
But is this mother-in-law too careless? Aren't you afraid that she won't give you money if she takes something? Or is it that she doesn't care about these longevity pills at all?
Ning Yue carried the Longevity Pill and left. By the way, she helped her clean up the stall, and gave some money to deposit in the pawnshop opposite.
After going back, the first thing Ning Yue did was to return the silver to Chen Shi, and gave Chen Shi a bottle of Longevity Pill. She knew that Mrs. Chen wouldn't eat it, and this bottle was completely wasted.
In the evening, the family of the three elders had a reunion dinner with their family. Seventh uncle and eighth uncle are especially good at drinking, and they poured down the second and third masters. Ma Liao, Ma Fang and Ma Guang also drank a lot, the other cousins were still young and only drank some sweet soup.
The elders sat in the house to watch the new year, and the children all went to set off firecrackers, and they didn't go back to the house to rest until it was time to play.
Mr. Chen liked Ning Yue so much that she asked Ning Yue to sleep with her.
Lying on the bed, Mrs. Chen asked Ning Yue if she missed her father, and Ning Yue's eyes were slightly wet. Why don't you want to? She dreams of it, but she would rather her father stay at the border all the time than be shot to death by the enemy on the way back.
Chen choked up and sighed: "I miss your fifth uncle too, it's been six years..."
Six years, I don't know how many six years have passed between her and her father.
In this life, I don't know if I can live to see it?
Mrs. Chen hugged Ning Yue into her arms, patted her on the back, and said, "Cry, cry when you feel uncomfortable, don't you just miss your father, what's there to be ashamed of?"
Ning Yue's tears fell down.
After not sleeping for a long time, Ning Yue vaguely sensed that Mrs. Chen had gotten out of bed, and said in a very angry voice, "What... why is he so confused? Does mother know? Okay... I'll go there... Hurry up and prepare the car..."
What happened? Going out of the house in the middle of the night?
