Chapter 50 - 50 Unexpected Surprise
50 Unexpected Surprise
Perhaps the dinner Zhao Chuchu served the night before had made an impression. Niu Tongsheng and the others came over very early the next day.
Zhao Chuchu was up already as well.
At this time, she was about to go up the mountain with the scythe and the back basket in tow.
Niu Tongsheng saw her equipment and asked, “Chuchu, where are you going?”
“I still need a little more of the medicine to treat my husband’s eyes. I will go to the mountain to look for it. The sooner I find it, the sooner I can start treating him,” explained Zhao Chuchu. “Thank you for coming today to finish the work. I made buns this morning, but you’ll have to steam them at lunchtime.”
“How come there are still more buns for lunch?”
“You all work so hard. I plan to feed you guys while you work anyway.”
“Save your money…”
“I’ll have money in a few days. Don’t worry, Village Chief. I can still afford some steamed buns.”
After a pause, Zhao Chuchu said in a voice only the two could hear. “Actually, my in-laws left some money to my husband. I was afraid that people would know and that they would pay attention to it, so I just…”
Niu Tongsheng immediately understood.
No wonder she insisted on building the fence because she did have some money in her hands.
Niu Tongsheng understood that Zhao Chuchu was someone who never followed a course that was predictable.
It seemed that this time she was completely reborn after the illness!
“My husband can’t see, and Junjun is still too young, so I’m afraid you’ll have to supervise today’s lunch.”
“No problem. You be careful out there.”
Zhao Chuchu nodded. After saying goodbye to Xie Heng, she went up the mountain alone.
In the springtime of March, the grass was green as birds flew everywhere.
There were lush green wild vegetables all along the side of the road.
Although they tempted Zhao Chuchu, when she remembered her culinary skills, she figured there was no need to waste these wild vegetables.
To get to the rear mountain, one must pass through the end of the village where the Zhao clan resided.
Yesterday, there was endless crying and moaning from this side of the Zhao clan, but no one dared to ask her for treatments.
And Zhao Chuchu was happy to have nothing to do with these people.
However, passing through this side of the Zhao clan, Zhao Chuchu discovered something interesting.
These men acted like softies when they were outside, but at home, they behaved as if they were big bosses.
Zhao Chuchu did not linger but went directly to the rear mountain.
The rear mountain covered a great area. Zhao Chuchu walked for a long time before finally finding two medicinal materials she could use.
Several precious medicinal materials were required to get rid of the poison in Xie Jun’s body.
To Zhao Chuchu’s knowledge, those medicines were not available in the south, and one of them was only available in the North Desert, and it was the kind that was very hard to find.
Zhao Chuchu found a tree and climbed up to check the inventory in her space to see if there was any medicine she could use for Xie Jun.
Earlier, while battling the plague, she and Xie Heng were almost inseparable. And these days, she was dead tired after she returned that she fell right into bed and went to sleep at night. Until now, Zhao Chuchu had neither the chance nor the time to look through her space.
If someone were to see Zhao Chuchu at this moment, they would think that Zhao Chuchu had fallen asleep.
In fact, it was just her consciousness that sunk deep into the space.
There were so many things in that space.
Even Zhao Chuchu didn’t remember exactly what she had stored inside the space.
Fortunately, she still had the list.
After searching for a long time, she finally found a pile of medicinal herbs in the corner.
During the time that she was stockpiling supplies, a poorly managed pharmacy went bankrupt, and she was able to purchase all the content of the pharmacy.
Zhao Chuchu did not look too carefully at the kind of medicinal materials she had purchased.
After carefully looking through everything, Zhao Chuchu was pleasantly surprised to find that she had all the herbs for Xie Jun’s detoxification!
Oh, freedom was at hand!
Zhao Chuchu was very exhilarated.
When Zhao Chuchu opened her eyes, she was glowing with radiance.
After all, she had not been in love for two lifetimes. Now that she had skipped the process and directly become someone’s wife, it was awkward no matter how one looked at it.
Anyway, no one else that the original owner cared about was still living in this world, so she could leave without much trouble when the time came.
Zhao Chuchu was in a great mood. She found some seasonal herbs and stuffed the basket to the brim. Then she went down the mountain full of joy.
When passing by the front of a house that was part of the Zhao clan, Zhao Chuchu was almost soaked in the liquid from a waste bucket.
