74 You Keep Your Word
Sure enough, she had made the right choice. This manās heart was extremely firm, and he had a tenacity that would not give up until he achieved his goal. If she had insisted on rejecting him earlier, she was afraid that the trouble would have been even greater.
She closed the door and went back to the yard. She looked at the herbs that the babies had already processed. Although they were very slow and could not process much in a day, each of them did things in a good way and the herbs they processed were very good.
āMother, do you really want to go tomorrow?ā
Er Bao was picking the leaves of a herb in his hands. When he saw Mo Ruyue walking over, he stopped what he was doing and asked.
!!
āIāve already collected the consultation fee, so I naturally have to go.ā
Mo Ruyue waved the silver notes in her hand. Since she had decided to go, she took the silver notes without any hesitation.
Only when the money was in her own pocket would it really be her own. She would not do something stupid like treating an illness and then taking the medical fees. The County Magistrate would not go back on his word, but when the sixty taels became six taels, who would she reason with?
She couldnāt change into her night suit and beat him up to make up for the difference.
However, if such a thing really happened, Mo Ruyue would definitely do it. No matter who it was, it would be unnecessary to make her suffer.
āThen, mother, will it be difficult to treat the County Magistrateā wife? He gave you so much moneyā¦ Even the old grandma didnāt need so much moneyā¦ā
Er Baoās brows were tightly knitted into a ball. He no longer had his usual cheeky appearance. It was obvious that he was really worried for Mo Ruyue.
āItās fine. I havenāt even used my skills yet. What are you afraid of?ā
Mo Ruyue didnāt take this matter to heart at all. No matter what kind of strange illness it was, they had to see it before making a conclusion. It was useless to worry now.
She walked to Da Baoās side and handed him a banknote. āHere, keep it well. Iāll bring the other one with me. It might be of use when we enter the city tomorrow,ā
Da Bao glanced at the banknote but did not take it. Instead, he shook his head and said, āItās better if you keep them with you. If you really encounter an incurable illness, you can return the money to the County Magistrate. He shouldnāt make things difficult for you, right?ā
āWe havenāt even started treating the patient, and youāre already dissing me? Do you have so little confidence in me?ā
Mo Ruyue glanced at Da Bao in dissatisfaction but felt that it was not enough. She first put the silver notes into her arms, then stretched out her hand and ruffled Da Baoās head. The hair that had been tied up properly immediately became unkempt.
āWhat are you doing!ā
Da Bao threw down the herbs in his hand to protect his head and glared angrily at Mo Ruyue.
This person really didnāt know how to appreciate a good personās kindness. He was wasting his time worrying about her!
āYour head looks good, whatās wrong?ā Mo Ruyue replied indifferently.
It was not that she did not know his feelings. She just had to behave like Er Bao and show it. Stupid child. He was not cute at all!
The next day, before the sun had risen, Mo Ruyue got up.
She carried a Big Medicine box with her. She had rushed it out of the tool room in her interspace the night before because she had nothing to do. It was the kind that doctors often carried in movies, but the model was several sizes larger. There were many bottles and jars in it, as well as some unknown instruments. It looked a little mysterious and imposing like a Divine Doctor.
āIāve already talked to Aunt Liu. She will be at our house today. You canāt miss your morning classes and donāt forget to do the housework.ā
Mo Ruyue had to go to the city to treat the County Magistrateās wife, so she naturally couldnāt bring her babies. She had to rush to the county before the city gate opened, so she didnāt even have time to make breakfast. She could only ask Aunt Liu to help take care of them.
Before she left, she reminded the babies again. Seeing that they all nodded in agreement, she then walked towards the village entrance.
Uncle Liu was holding onto the big young mule and waiting at the village entrance. Mo Ruyue did not know how to drive a carriage yet, so she could only trouble Uncle Liu to act as the coachman. The cart behind the big young mule belonged to the Liu family. After all, it was very troublesome to unload the cart back and forth.
Although the Liu familyās cart was a little small and simple, it was still very useful.
āUncle Liu, itās been hard on you today. Letās go.ā
Uncle Liu glanced at the big medicine box on Mo Ruyueās back and seemed to want to say something, but he swallowed it back and got into the car without a word.
Mo Ruyue could more or less guess what Uncle Liu wanted to say. It was nothing more than saying that he was a fellow villager. Since he really had medical skills and could treat the County Magistrateās wife, why couldnāt she also take a look at the fellow villagers?
He and Aunt Liu were indeed good people. They often stood up for justice and spoke up for her. They had spoken up for her a lot in the past. It was just that sometimes, they were too kind and didnāt know that some people were not worth helping.
However, Uncle Liu had finally learned to be silent. This also reduced the unnecessary conflicts between him and Mo Ruyue. After all, some words could hurt people.
Just like that, they walked all the way to the county gate without saying a word. They had arrived a little early, and at this time, the city gate had not yet opened, but there were already groups of people waiting outside.
Although Mo Ruyue didnāt have time to make breakfast, she still brought some dry food. It was all roujiamo that she had made the night before. Although it was not too hot and a little soft, it was still edible.
She also gave a few to uncle Liu. Although he was old, he often worked in the fields and hunted in the mountains. His body was still very strong, and his appetite was naturally not small.
He didnāt reject Mo Ruyueās good intentions. Previously, after his wife had made clothes for Mo Ruyue and the babies, Mo Ruyue had sent them āroujiamo.ā
Although it was just flatbread with meat, the taste was extraordinary. He was a little addicted to it, but he was too embarrassed to ask for it from the other party.
Now that Mo Ruyue had taken out the roujiamo to share with him, he naturally wouldnāt refuse.
The two of them had just made do with breakfast when there was movement at the city gate. With a heavy and long creak, the two heavy gates slowly opened.
Uncle Liu drove the carriage into the city. Sure enough, he saw Constable Liao waiting quietly under a tree not far from the city.
āLady Qin, youāre very trustworthy and also very punctual.ā
Constable Liao nodded to Mo Ruyue in greeting.
āIf I said I wonāt do it, then I might as well not say it. Besides, Iāve been paid.ā
Mo Ruyue shook her head. The person she didnāt want to deal with the most was this Constable Liao. A stubborn person meant trouble, and she didnāt want to get involved in trouble.
āLetās go. The magistrate knows youāll be here early in the morning and has been waiting for you. ā
Constable Liao didnāt even look at Uncle Liu who was driving the carriage. It was as if he could only see Mo Ruyue in his eyes. This seemed like a form of concentration, but if one were to look closely, it was a form of arrogance.
Mo Ruyue saw all of this, and she became more vigilant against Constable Liao.
The carriage arrived at the entrance of the government office. After Mo Ruyue got off, Constable Liao said to Uncle Liu, āThe backyard is where the County Magistrateās family lives. As an outsider, you should avoid it. Iāll take you to the horse carriage to get a place for you to rest.ā
