Chapter 657: Clever He
Bai Wu reacted and asked himself a stupid question.
It costs money for the lady to treat patients and prescribe medicine, so how can she not charge money?
Besides, he knew those generals who were not short of money.
He chuckled twice and quickly changed the subject.
"Miss, do you have any secret recipe for giving birth to a son?"
Fang Nanzhi looked at him in surprise.
"Uncle Bai Wu, do you still favor boys over girls?"
"No, no, I want both a daughter and a son. But my father keeps clamoring for a grandson, so I'm thinking of having a son first and then a daughter."
"This way, the son can be a big brother and protect the daughter, right?"
Bai Wu smiled foolishly.
"I can't help it. The doctor can't decide whether the baby is a boy or a girl."
Fang Nanzhi spread his hands.
"Then who can make the decision?" Bai Wu was curious. How about going to pray to the gods?
"Of course it's up to you and your wife to decide." Fang Nanzhi said confidently.
"what?"
Bai Wu didn't quite understand.
Qin Yan opened his mouth and told him the medical knowledge about giving birth to a boy or a girl that his sister had told him years ago.
"So the chances of having a boy or a girl are 50-50?"
Bai Wu touched his chin, feeling that he had gained a lot of knowledge.
"Yes." Fang Nanzhi stood on tiptoe and patted his shoulder, with a serious look on his face.
"Uncle Bai Wu, we are all family, so I will say a few more words to you."
"This child, whether it's a boy or a girl, is destined to be born into your family. You must treat her well. Don't ruin the relationship between father and daughter by forcing a boy or girl."
Bai Wu felt a little embarrassed, feeling that in the eyes of the young lady, he had become someone who was mistreating her daughter.
It’s unfair, it’s really not his fault.
Unfortunately, Fang Nanzhi didn't give him a chance to explain and ran ahead happily.
She misses her dad.
Her father is still the best in the world.
Her father loves her because she is his child, no matter whether she is a boy or a girl.
"Dad, let me help you drive the car."
Fang Nanzhi pushed himself up with his hands and jumped onto the shaft of the cart.
Fang Tong quickly slowed down the car and waited until she got in before muttering anything.
"No, no, your mother is still in the car, and Dad is afraid that you will fall into the ditch while driving."
"Dad, are you thirsty? I'll make you some tea."
"No, no, that thing tastes bitter, I can't get used to it, I want sour plum soup."
Fang Nanzhi scratched his head.
This request is a bit difficult to fulfill. She is on the road right now. Where can she get sour plum soup?
"Dad, why don't you just make do with some water for now? I'll buy you some more when we pass through a town or something."
"Okay." Fang Tong agreed reluctantly.
In the car, Qian Fengping listened to the conversation between the father and daughter and laughed again.
Why do these father and daughter seem to be in the opposite situation, with the daughter coaxing her father?
The caravan found a shady place to rest at noon, and then continued on their journey. They had to find the next village to stay overnight before nightfall.
The Qin family is gone, but the legend about them in Mushan Village remains.
Many people were still talking about what they had eaten at yesterday's banquet, and were wondering about their family's life in the capital.
"I heard that Qin Yan entered something called the Imperial College? He doesn't have to pay tuition anymore."
"Qian said she has no plans to rent a house. She said she already has a house."
"Oh, could it be that he bought it when he went to Beijing to participate in the competition last time? He's really capable of buying a house right under the emperor's feet."
Chen, who knew the situation, nodded. She didn't say that the whole family was going to live in Fang Yin's general's mansion.
"Is our village really going to produce a literary star? Qin Yan has already topped the exams several times."
"Qin Yan has two fathers. One gave him a good brain, and the other gave him good conditions. This is fate!"
Some elderly people, who don't have so many concerns, sighed.
It was getting lively when I saw He coming towards the village entrance from afar, carrying something.
Everyone stopped talking and just looked at her.
Many villagers looked down on He's mother and son when they returned to the village.
He was divorced a long time ago and remarried. How thick-skinned must she be to live back in the Fang family?
The Fang Qingtian brothers are indeed descendants of the Fang family, but they are even more annoying than the He family.
Whose sons would replace their own fathers as soon as their father got into trouble? If you have such a rebellious son, you might as well just drown him.
When the three people just came back, someone in the village went to find the village chief and wanted the chief to drive them out of the village.
Of course, one reason was that he disliked them, but he also wanted to take this opportunity to please Fang Tong.
The old village chief went to Fang's house and took a look around, but didn't talk much with Mr. Fang.
But after coming out, just pretend nothing happened.
The villagers thought he was doing it for Mr. Fang's sake. In fact, the village chief and Fang Tong had said that they both felt it was a good thing to have someone take care of Mr. Fang who couldn't take care of himself.
"Mrs. Chen, Wang's sister-in-law, and Brother Zhao, are you all here?" He greeted them from afar.
She was not like this before. She claimed to be a scholar's wife and had to look at people in the village with one eye tilted.
The Chen family ignored her.
He was not embarrassed and said to herself: "Then you guys are busy. I have to go home and make dumplings for my father-in-law. They are stuffed with pork and green onions."
As he spoke, he deliberately raised the piece of fat in his hand to ensure that everyone could see it.
Finally someone couldn't help it anymore.
"Hey, He, didn't they say that all your houses and shops in the city were swindled away? Do you still have money to buy meat?"
"You're not even the daughter-in-law of the Fang family anymore, why are you still calling me father-in-law?"
He selectively ignored the latter question.
She slapped her thigh and said, "Sister-in-law, that's right. My mother and I are unlucky. We met a scammer and have no money left."
"The money for the meat was given by the child's cousin, Lord Fang."
what?
The group of people almost dropped their jaws in shock.
They knew what the relationship between Fang Tong and the Fang family was.
Why did you give money and let Mr. Fang eat meat?
Even Chen frowned.
He got the desired effect and quickly struck while the iron was hot.
"Master Fang said that although he was adopted out, Old Master Fang still owed him a debt of gratitude. Now that he has become successful, it is only natural for him to take care of his cousin."
"Before he left, he gave me some money so that I could buy some meat, eggs, etc. for my father-in-law to eat every now and then."
Everyone opened their mouths, but for a moment they didn't know what to say.
He had already walked away with the meat.
Of course, she paid for the meat with her own money. No, she found where Mr. Fang hid his money and stole it.
As for why the credit should be given to Fang Tong?
He had a plan.
She had discussed with her two sons that Fang Tong and Old Man Fang had gotten to the point where they basically ignored each other and were almost like enemies.
But Fang Tong still wanted them to take care of Old Man Fang.
What does this mean?
It’s not that Fang Tong is soft-hearted, but that he has concerns.
He, who had been the wife of a scholar for a period of time, had grasped the edge. Scholars valued their reputation, so officials must value it even more.
Fang Tong must have taken this into consideration.
