Chapter 176 Arriving at the county seat

Chen Yuanhai was sitting awkwardly, slowly driving the bullock cart over, still holding in his mouth the young grass he pulled out when he went out.

I thought to myself that I would wait at most for a quarter of an hour at the entrance of the village. As long as there was no one around, I would go back home and take some time off.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he turned the corner and walked out, he saw Su Mo standing not far ahead.

Chen Yuanhai immediately sat up straight and spit out the grass.

The bullock cart stopped next to Su Mo. Chen Yuanhai looked around to make sure no one was coming, then turned and asked, "Sister-in-law of the Gu family, are they okay in Xingnian?"

"Fortunately, I was just a little frightened. I had Dr. Wang come over at noon and gave me a prescription for medicine and dietary supplements.

Are you planning to go to the county to buy the things you need?"

As Su Mo said this, he quickly got on the bullock cart, took out a copper plate and handed it to him. Thinking of Wang Taoqing and the others being knocked unconscious yesterday, he asked:

"By the way, aunt and sister-in-law, are they okay?"

Chen Yuanhai took the copper plate and put it in his purse.

"My mother and sister-in-law woke up not long after you left last night.

But the eldest brother was worried that the eldest sister-in-law was pregnant with the child, so he invited Dr. Wang to come over.

After checking her pulse, Doctor Wang said that my sister-in-law is in good health and there is nothing wrong with her."

Whether Wang Taoqing and the others were stunned was related to the abduction of Gu Xingnian and the others. Chen Cihai kept Huiniang's instructions in mind, but he was worried that Wang Taoqing's inhalation of the drug would cause harm to the unborn child.

Therefore, he used Wang Taoqing's dizziness and lethargy as an excuse to ask Wang Luocheng to check for safety, and at the same time, he did not forget to ask Wang Luocheng to show his parents.

Wang Luocheng didn't think much about it, and besides, his medical skills were not so sophisticated that he could feel the pulse of a conscious person who had inhaled drugs.

So I felt Wang Taoqing's pulse. After making sure that the pulse was stable and strong, I released my hand, and then went to feel the pulse of Chen Cihai's parents.

Chen Cihai's father had always been in poor health, and the pulse check this time was still the same as before. Wang Luocheng had no other option but to let him rest more.

As for Chen Cihai, her body is still strong, but she is getting older. Wang Luocheng also asked her to pay more attention to rest and worry less.

When Su Mo heard Chen Yuanhai say that Wang Taoqing and the others were okay, he felt relieved. After all, they were implicated by their own family.

She has not yet reached the point where her conscience has been lost. If something happened to the Chen family because of her, she would feel somewhat regretful.

Su Mo pursed his lips and smiled, "It's okay."

With such a big incident happening in the village, no one wanted to go to the county, so there were only two cattle drivers, Chen Yuanhai and Su Mo, on the bullock cart.

The oxcart was swaying, the warm sun was beating down on your body, and the spring breeze was blowing, making you drowsy.

Su Mo didn't get much rest last night, so now and then he would cover his mouth with his hand and yawn again and again.

Just when I was about to lose my strength, the county seat arrived.

Unlike Luoshan Village, which looks like a pool of stagnant water now, people in coastal counties are coming and going, and there are constant shouts.

Su Mo immediately became energetic.

Chen Yuanhai didn't send anyone to the county this morning. He spent the whole morning relaxing at home. When he goes back this afternoon, there will naturally be no other people around.

So he got off the car, tied the reins, and said to Su Mo: "Sister-in-law of the Gu family, there is no one around, so you can go and buy with confidence.

Anyway, when you buy it and come over, we will go back to the village."

Su Mo was slightly startled, "How can this be so embarrassing..."

"Don't think too much..."

Chen Yuanhai scratched the back of his head in embarrassment: "My mother told me about the marriage, and I just have some free time. I will go shopping and buy some things. After two days, the girl will come to my door to give her a gift...

"

Co-author Chen Yuanhai also has his own little thoughts.

Su Mo looked at Chen Yuanhai's flushed face and smiled knowingly, "Then I won't be polite to you and take the first step."

Su Mo said goodbye to Chen Yuanhai and soon disappeared into the crowd.

The spring breeze blew over his cheeks, blowing away the heat from Chen Yuanhai's face. He looked at Su Mo's leaving figure, pursed his lips, and got back on the bullock cart again.

The shade of the tree fell on him, and Chen Yuanhai lay on the wooden board, closing his eyes and falling asleep.

Su Mo used to buy clothes from Fang Yue, but now that Fang Yue was taken to the capital by Fang Shi, she didn't know where to go for a while.

After thinking about it, Su Mo decided to buy a writing brush for Gu Jinnian first.

This Four Treasures of the Study shop is an old shop, and the current shopkeeper is the daughter-in-law of the original shopkeeper.

Su Mo went there many times and was considered a regular customer.

Although most of the things she bought on weekdays were cheap things, the shopkeeper saw that she paid quickly and behaved generously, so he guessed that she was not short of money, but the children at home were just starting to learn, and it was the time to practice calligraphy.

So while packing the brushes, I asked Su Mo if he wanted to bring anything else.

"Some new products have recently arrived in the shop, including ink from the Lin family in Yanjing and inkstones from the Chen family in Chongqing. They are all of high quality. Madam, would you like to take a look?

If you have something you like, it’s best to take it first so as not to miss the opportunity.”

If Gu Jinnian was older, obtained a meritorious degree, and entered an academy to study, Su Mo might buy it.

But at this time, buying the best ink and inkstone is useless.

So she smiled and shook her head and declined, "The children at home are still young, so we'll see about it later."

When the shopkeeper heard what Su Mo said, he didn't say much and happily handed over the packed brushes.

"That's it. If Madam needs it in the future, just let me know and I'll prepare the goods in advance."

Su Mo smiled back, paid, took the brush, and was about to leave when he thought about the clothes again and retracted his outstretched legs.

"By the way, I want to ask you something."

"Ma'am, please tell me."

"Are there any reliable clothing stores nearby?"

Su Mo smiled sheepishly: "The shopkeeper of the shop I used to frequent has moved away. Now I don't know where to buy clothes."

The shopkeeper didn't expect that Su Mo was asking this, so he immediately said:

"If you don't mind, madam, turn left at the second intersection ahead and you will see a shop with the name of 'Lujia Cloth Shop'.

It was my mother's shop. Although it sold cloth, my mother and sister-in-law also took on some clothes-making jobs.

If you bring your own fabric, the labor fee will be 80 cents if you need it within one day, and 50 cents if you need it in two days.

If you pick the cloth at a shop, we won't have to pay for the labor and you can get the clothes the next day.

Of course, you can also buy the fabric directly."

This is not bad, Su Mo thought about it, thanked the shopkeeper and left the shop.

According to the shopkeeper, when he reached the second intersection, he turned left and saw a shop not far away with a sign that said "Lu Family Cloth Shop".

There were quite a few people going in and out of the shop, all with smiles on their faces. Su Mo raised his eyebrows and walked over quickly.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw many women lining up in front of the counter to pay. Inside the counter, stood a woman who looked very similar to the shopkeeper on the other side of the Four Treasures of the Study. She seemed to be the shopkeeper's mother.

She was registering something with a pen and asked her daughter-in-law next to her to collect the money. Business was really booming.

Yesterday, on the second day of the Lunar New Year, I followed my mother-in-law to my husband's grandmother's house to wish me happy New Year. I didn't get home until after 11 o'clock in the evening, and there was no code update...
