Transmigration: Becoming the Wicked Stepmother of Four Children

Chapter 68 Curing Bovine Intestinal Spasms

When they arrived in town, Quan Fuhai was already waiting for them at the shop entrance.

He craned his neck and peered into the distance.

As soon as they appeared, he immediately greeted them with a big smile.

At the same time, he loudly instructed the shop assistants:

"Come quick, help me move this!"

Lu Qingqing said shyly:

"Boss Quan, I'm sorry, we have a large order today."

The oxcart was struggling, which caused a delay on the road.

Quan Fuhai waved his hands repeatedly and said heartily:

"It's alright, it's alright, there was no delay."

It's good that you can send it over!

However, the quantity today is indeed quite large; hopefully, we can sell out today.

As he spoke, a look of anticipation shone in his eyes.

"They sold out yesterday at noon, and there are so many today."

I reckon I can last until tonight.

"If it were this popular every day, that would be wonderful!"

Lu Qingqing responded with a smile:

"Boss Quan, thank you for your kind words."

As word of mouth spreads throughout the town about our herbal tea,

Business will definitely get better and better in the future.

Lin Yunlan chimed in from the side:

"Boss Quan, we prepared extra today."

"Try selling it first. If you sell too much or too little, we can discuss how to proceed."

Quan Fuhai nodded with a smile:

"Haha, Brother Lin, with you all putting in so much effort..."

It's hard for a herbal tea business not to succeed!

After the waiter put all the herbal tea into the basin of ice water,

Quan Fuhai then had his men bring out the dozens of jars he had prepared the day before.

"Madam Lu, you can't make herbal tea without a jar."

I happen to have some here; you can take them and use them alternately.

Quan Fuhai said with a smile.

Lu Qingqing said with a smile:

"Boss Quan is so thoughtful, then we won't stand on ceremony with you."

Thank you, Boss Quan.

Quan Fuhai waved his hand:

"Hey, this is nothing. We're partners, we should look out for each other."

Besides, the herbal tea business is booming, so everyone's benefiting!

Lin Yunlan also stepped forward and said:

"Boss Quan is so kind and generous. Rest assured, we will definitely deliver it on time tomorrow."

Quan Fuhai laughed heartily:

"Good, good! I'm relieved to hear that."

By the way, the amount you delivered today seems about right.

Let's stick with this quantity tomorrow. If there's a significant difference...

I will let you know again tomorrow.

Lu Qingqing nodded in agreement:

"Okay, Boss Quan, let's agree on this for now."

After exchanging a few more pleasantries, Lu Qingqing and the others left with the jar.

Because Lin Erzhu still needs to go back up the mountain to collect medicinal herbs.

Lu Qingqing then had the couple drive the oxcart home first.

He and Lin Yunlan went to the brokerage firm to look around, thinking of buying another oxcart.

As soon as the two arrived at the brokerage,

The person who greeted them recognized Lu Qingqing and Lin Yunlan.

"Welcome, esteemed guests."

"I wonder if you two would like anything else from your trip?"

Lu Qingqing replied:

"I want to buy another cow."

The person who greeted us immediately said warmly:

"No problem, we've just received a few strong, healthy cows."

"I guarantee it can pull heavy objects. This way, please."

Lu Qingqing and Lin Yunlan followed him to the cowshed.

Several cows were leisurely grazing.

The person receiving the greeting pointed to one end and said:

"This ox is strong and gentle, making it perfect for pulling a cart."

Lin Yunlan stepped forward and examined him carefully.

He then stroked the cow's back and said:

"This cow looks quite nice, Qingqing, what do you think?"

Lu Qingqing frowned slightly:

"I think it's alright, but is the price too high?"

The person receiving them quickly said:

"Rest assured, both of you, the price is absolutely fair."

If you two are really keen on buying it, I can give you an even better discount.

Lu Qingqing and Lin Yunlan exchanged a glance.

He started to make plans in his mind.

Suddenly, Lu Qingqing noticed a cow that looked listless in the corner.

asked:

What's wrong with it?

The waiter said embarrassedly:

"This cow might be sick, it might be possessed, or it might even be mentally unstable."

Lu Qingqing asked, puzzled:

"What does that mean?"

"This ox, it sits for a while, then gets up again."

He lay there motionless for a while.

Sometimes he would look back at himself, or even kick himself a couple of times.

"If you want it, I'll give you six taels of silver as compensation."

Lu Qingqing then carefully observed the condition of the cow.

I've already made up my mind.

I thought to myself, this isn't a serious problem, one injection and I'll feel better in a little while.

She said to the waiter:

"I'll take this cow, but you have to do it the same way as last time."

They gave me an oxcart and some hay.

The broker figured the ox was a stupid one anyway, so he immediately agreed.

“Alright, madam, we will do as you say.”

The waiter replied with a smile.

Lin Yunlan looked at Lu Qingqing with some worry:

"Qingqing, is this cow any good? Don't let it be a waste of money."

Lu Qingqing smiled confidently:

"Yunlan, don't worry, I know what I'm doing, I can cure this ox."

After payment, the porter brought the oxcart and fodder.

Lu Qingqing and Lin Yunlan then drove the newly acquired ox and oxcart back home.

On the way, Lin Yunlan couldn't help but ask:

"Qingqing, are you really sure?"

Lu Qingqing patted his hand:

"Trust me, after we leave the city and give it the medicine, it will be lively and energetic again in no time."

Lin Yunlan looked at Lu Qingqing's determined eyes and nodded:

"Okay, whatever you say."

When they arrived at the city gate, Lu Qingqing asked Lin Yunlan to buy ten catties of meat.

Lin Yunlan obediently went to buy steamed buns as soon as she was told to go home and make some.

Lu Qingqing pulled the oxcart out of the city gate and into a deserted place.

He took out several medicine bottles and a syringe from his storage space.

After preparing the medicine, she immediately inserted an injection into the cow's muscle, quick and accurate.

The ox immediately widened its eyes and swayed back and forth, reacting a beat too slowly.

Lu Qingqing reacted quickly and finished the injection immediately.

Old Niu stared straight at Lu Qingqing, as if that would vent his anger.

Lu Qingqing looked at the ox and said:

"Hey, Old Niu, I saved you, didn't I?"

Do you feel better?

You have severe intestinal spasm; you'd be in excruciating pain without me.

Then, as if the cow understood,

It seemed as if the pain had subsided, and my previously tense body gradually relaxed.

His eyes were no longer so angry; instead, they held a hint of gentleness.

Lu Qingqing gently patted the cow's head:

"That's right, be a good boy, and work hard with us from now on."

I guarantee you'll eat your fill.

Just then, Lin Yunlan returned after buying the meat.

Seeing that the cow seemed to be in better condition, he said in surprise:

"Qingqing, the cow really looks better."

Lu Qingqing said with a smile:

"Of course, don't you trust my medical skills?"

Lin Yunlan smiled sheepishly:

"Don't worry, don't worry, let's go home quickly."

Lu Qingqing said gently:

"Yunlan, let's rest for a bit and wait a while."

Soon we'll be able to ride home in the oxcart.

Lin Yunlan nodded and put the meat in her hand aside.

I found a clean place to sit down.

"Qingqing, do you really think this cow will recover completely?"

Lin Yunlan still asked with some unease.

Lu Qingqing smiled, walked over and sat down next to Lin Yunlan.

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. It won't be long before it's back to its energetic self."

Seeing Lu Qingqing's confident demeanor, Lin Yunlan didn't ask any more questions.

I simply stayed quietly by her side.

After a while, the ox's spirits improved significantly.

It started to bend down and eat the grass on the ground.

After seeing that it had almost finished eating, Lu Qingqing stood up.

"Yunlan, let's go home."

Lin Yunlan stared at the ox in disbelief.

Just a moment ago, the cow was reluctant to walk even when led around, but now it's actually all better.

It looks even more energetic than the cow at home.

Lin Yunlan, driving the oxcart, looked at Lu Qingqing with admiration and said:

"Qingqing, you are really amazing!"

"It's like you've cast a spell on this cow."

Lu Qingqing smiled slightly and said:

"There's no magic involved, I just know a little about medicine."

Lin Yunlan shook his head and said:

"This is not as simple as just a little medical skill."

Your skills have truly broadened my horizons.

Lu Qingqing leaned gently against Lin Yunlan's back without saying a word.

Close your eyes slightly to rest.

Lin Yunlan sensed that Lu Qingqing seemed to be resting.

He quietly drove the oxcart, moving slowly along the road.
