Chapter 138 Relief
When Wu Liuer heard this, she burst into tears and asked Qin Li: "What should I do? I don't want to stay on the pleasure boat for a moment. Even if I just wander on the streets, become a beggar, or go back to the countryside to dig the ground, it is better than staying on the pleasure boat."
Seeing Wu Liu'er crying again, Qin Li couldn't help but ask:
"Crying can exchange the contract for it?"
What problem can you solve when you cry at any time?
Besides, she had seen Miss Yan on the barge before. Miss Yan is also a singer, but she didn't cry when facing the strong Chu Xinyan.
Wu Liuer shook her head and knew in her heart that no matter how sad she was crying, she could not let the female shopkeeper and Mr. Zhai give her the contract.
"Miss Qin, you know that the wounds on my body have been going on for a few days. I just bought some medicine and applied them. Who would have thought that it would hurt so much in winter? Now that I have become like this, how can I earn money to make myself free?"
"You are not a serious illness, I can cure you." Qin Li looked at Wu Liuer with a confident look and said.
Wu Liuer thanked him quickly.
As long as she recovered, she would feel relieved. When she returned to the pleasure boat and earned enough silver, she would go back to the contract and go back to the countryside.
Wu Liuer roasted for a while and felt that her back was not so cold and no pain. A hint of joy flashed in her eyes. It seemed that the doctors in the pharmacy were right, Miss Qin had a very high medical skills.
After Miss Qin applied medicine to her, she felt much better.
Wu Liuer begged: "Miss Qin, I've been out for so long and I'll have to go back later. Can you help me prescribe some medicine so that I can bring it back to the pleasure boat for me?"
Qin Li looked at Wu Liu'er with a hint of pity in her eyes, "The wounds on your back are not all left before. There are several deep blood marks near your right shoulder, which are recently left. If you don't say it, you shouldn't want to tell me, and I won't ask."
"But as a female doctor, I really want to advise you that if you want to recover soon, you have to rest."
After hearing Qin Li's words, Wu Liuer held back her tears and said, "It's not that I won't tell you, but I'm afraid that if I say it, I will scare you."
Qin Li smiled slightly.
She has been a human being for two lives, and she is not so easily intimidated.
"I used to do farm work in the countryside, and I was abused by my stepmother a lot. At that time, I thought that when I got married, I would have my own family and be able to live a good life. But I didn't expect that my stepmother sold me to the Zhai Mansion. I didn't expect that Mr. Zhai would sell me to the pleasure boat."
"I don't want to stay in that kind of place for a moment. So after I went there, I always thought of a way to escape. I didn't even get far before I was caught by Mr. Zhai and the others, and sent me back to the pleasure boat. Did I beat me?"
When Qin Li heard this, she felt a little unreasonable.
If Wu Liuer was found by Mr. Zhai after escaping and sent back to the pleasure boat, then Wu Liuer would not be able to come out so easily and ask her to treat her.
Now, Wu Liuer can get off the pleasure boat and come to her to treat her. It only means that the female shopkeeper on the pleasure boat is already relieved of Wu Liuer. He knows that Wu Liuer will never run away, or even if he runs, he will not be able to escape.
But just look at the scars on Wu Liuer's back, you can tell how ruthless they were when they hit Wu Liuer.
Qin Li comforted Wu Liuer and gave Wu Liuer a few words, and brought Wu Liuer a bottle of medicinal wine and two taels of silver. He wanted Wu Liuer to buy bedding and go back to cover it to make it warmer.
It can be guessed that the clothes Wu Liuer wore might have borrowed from someone.
Because after applying medicine to Wu Liuer, Wu Liuer subconsciously sniffed her shoulders, probably because she was afraid that the smell of medicinal wine would remain on her clothes.
She felt a little sympathetic to Wu Liuer because Wu Liuer was clean and not like Mo Yu and Mo Zhu, who were engaging in the inside and out. She lived at her house and even went to please Fu Yu.
Wu Liuer went to be a maid for Mr. Zhai, but he took the initiative to find Wu Liuer. Wu Liuer refused and resisted to the death.
Wu Liuer stood up and placed the two taels of silver that Qin Li gave her and the only one tael of silver that she had in her hand on the wooden table.
Qin Li hurriedly collected the silver and insisted on giving it to Wu Liuer, "You can collect these silver first."
"If you treat me, I have to pay you a medical fee. How can I ask for your silver in reverse?" Wu Liuer shook her head slightly and said she could not.
"No need to pay a doctor." Qin Li said with a smile:
"Hu Ji Pharmacy was opened by Doctor Hu. He opened a pharmacy mainly to treat patients, not just to make money. You may have heard from others that many people come to us for treatment without the need for drug payment."
After hearing this, Wu Liuer looked at Qin Li gratefully and said:
"Well, I have heard of this. Before I arrived in Jiayu City, I heard from the villagers that Dr. Hu was a good man. He said that a blacksmith at the east end of the village had injured his leg. He was the one who helped him to treat it. The blacksmith gave silver, but he didn't want it."
Qin Li nodded slightly.
She also heard Hu Yao mention this matter to her. She said that Dr. Hu did not collect money from the blacksmith at the beginning, but thought that the blacksmith's life was not easy, so she confiscated it.
But unexpectedly, after recovering, the blacksmith spent nearly two years saving more than twenty taels of silver to deliver it to Dr. Hu to the pharmacy.
Doctor Hu insisted on not accepting it.
The blacksmith said that if Doctor Hu didn't accept it, he would not go back. He stayed in this pharmacy and did odd jobs for Doctor Hu and the others.
In desperation, Doctor Hu had to take ten taels of silver from the blacksmith.
In order to repay his kindness, the blacksmith pulled a few iron braziers with a ox cart and gave them to Dr. Hu after he went back.
The brazier placed in this private room was given by the blacksmith.
Wu Liuer said to Qin Li: "Miss Qin, Doctor Hu is a good person, and you are also a good person. I will remember your great kindness throughout my life. In the future, I will do my best to repay you."
Qin Li smiled and said, "If you say anything, you will not repay it. You don't have to take a little bit of it to your heart. You have to take good care of it when you go back and have a good rest. I wish you a speedy recovery."
That night, after sending Wu Liu'er back, Qin Li returned home and mentioned Wu Liu'er's incident to Qinghe. Only Qinghe sighed:
"To be honest, I really hope that the person who bought Wu Liu'er was the wife. In this way, Wu Liu'er could come to the mansion to do work, eat and wear, and get some monthly money. More importantly, the lady is a good person and will not treat her servants like Mr. Zhai."
Although the words are the truth, Qin Li always feels a little strange when she hears it.
But I didn't know how to express it for a while, so I didn't say it to Qinghe.
On the night when Lord Feng returned to Jiayu City, Qin Li returned home from the pharmacy and heard Qinghe say something:
"Miss, Ziqin and I also went to Jiayugang to see it today."
"You guys are going too?" Qin Li looked surprised. She was also by the port at that time. Why didn't she see Qinghe and the others?
Qinghe quickly understood Qin Li’s thoughts and said:
"It was Mr. Huaiyu who took us there after he came back. After we went to Jiayu Port, we not only saw the wife, but also you and Miss Yun'er, and the third son's."
Speaking of this, Qinghe approached Qin Li's ear and said softly:
"I all know that the woman who went up to testify for He Chang was the one sent by the third prince."
Qin Li didn't know about this either.
When Qinghe mentioned the third young master, she felt a little happy and asked, "What else do you know? Let's talk about it."
