General, Madam Called You To Farm

Chapter 28 – Life Experience (2)

Su Xiaoxiao went to Su Ergou’s room again.

The three little ones put themselves on the bed and fell asleep. They were sleeping without the quilt. They were holding the candied haws that Su Xiaoxiao gave them, and they didn’t eat any.

They obviously wanted to eat, so why didn’t they eat it?

Was it because of sadness?

Did her words hurt their young hearts?

Su Xiaoxiao pulled the quilt to cover them.

“Jie1!”

1Jie ( 姐) : older sister

Su Xiaoxiao was startled, she turned around and glared at him, then said, “You scared me! Be quiet! They are sleeping!”

“Oh!” Su Ergou scratched his head and stepped into the room. He whispered, “Jie, why did you call me just now?”

“Sit down.” Su Xiaoxiao pointed to the stool beside her.

Su Ergou sat down obediently.

Su Xiaoxiao checked his injuries, then she went to Wei Ting’s room to get a bottle of Jinchuang medicine, and carefully applied it on Su Ergou’s wound.

-Jin Chuang Medicine / Jin Chuang Yao / 金疮药
It is a traditional Chinese medicine, its name is often heard in Chinese historical costume movies, dramas, and novels. All martial artists usually had this medicine. This medicine is a powder, it is used to treat bruises, cut injuries, stop bleeding, etc.

He received a head-on punch, with a bloody nose and a swollen face, and a scratch on his shoulder.

“Just tell me if it hurts.” She said.

Su Ergou smiled, “Hehe, it doesn’t hurt!”

“Hmm?” Su Xiaoxiao continued to apply medicine for him.

Su Ergou said thoughtfully, “I think… After the accident, you treated me and dad better than before.”

Su Xiaoxiao asked calmly, “Really?”

Su Ergou nodded seriously: “Yes! You never bought me clothes or applied medicine for me… What dad said is right, women become different when they have a husband! Jie, I will treat my brother-in-law well in the future!”

Why did Wei Ting get involved again!

That guy was already eating and living at home for free. Why did he always have to take her credits?

“I’m really at a loss if I don’t sleep with him once!”

“Jie, what are you talking about?” Su Ergou didn’t hear clearly.

Su Xiaoxiao held her hands in her arms and said proudly, “Just with that pig-headed face of his, it was more likely for me to enter the sage time2.”

2Sage time (slang term) : During this time/mode, a man feels as if he had become a sage; a person of wisdom who is free from any worldly pleasures; refractory period. This word refers to the male phenomenon.

Su Ergou’s thoughts: My older sister is sick again… I don’t understand a word of what she said.

  ……

At night, after Su Xiaoxiao took a hot bath, she wrapped herself in a quilt and lay in the bed.

She didn’t fall asleep that fast and started to think about something in her mind.

The first one was the situation at home.

The 5 taels of silver she got last time were almost spent, and all of this family had left was the 15 taels that He Tongsheng owned.

It didn’t seem bad, but this whole family could eat so much like this… Except for the sick patient Wei Ting. If they still didn’t have any income, even if they still had some savings, it wouldn’t be long before it got exhausted.

“It seems that I have to think of ways to earn money.”

She didn’t think about being well-off in a hurry, but at least they didn’t have to live in poverty.

Another very important thing was Father Su’s hand injury.

This kind of old wound was the most difficult to cure.

The base pharmacy was one of the largest pharmacies in the military, and there were many newly developed special medicines in it.

It was a pity that she only loaded some first-aid medicines for Wei Ting last time.

If only she could go in there once again, then it would be nice.

Su Xiaoxiao closed her eyes while holding the first-aid kit bag.
