General, Madam Called You To Farm

Chapter 66 – Father-in-law and his son-in-law (2)

“Excuse me, is Doctor Fu there?” she asked.

The old woman snorted in displeasure, “Why are you looking for my son?”

“Mom! Does someone need to see a doctor?”

Doctor Fu came quickly with a medicine pestle. He was pounding medicine in the backyard just now.

-Medicine Pestle / Mortar

“Doctor Fu.” Su Xiaoxiao greeted him.

“It’s Miss Su.” Doctor Fu’s eyes flashed, and he said to his own mother, “Mom, it’s windy outside. You should go in and take some rest in the room. It’s okay! I’ll serve them.”

The old woman pointed at Su Xiaoxiao and said to her son, “If she asks you for treatment, then you have to charge her double fees!”

Doctor Fu: “……”

Su Xiaoxiao: “……”

After the old woman entered the room, Doctor Fu led Su Xiaoxiao aside and said, “My mother doesn’t know that I spent money on you to buy the Jinchuang medicine. So don’t tell her. I have prepared the silver needles and medicinal materials ready. Wait a moment, and I will bring it to you right away.”

-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.

While waiting for the medicine, Su Xiaoxiao took a look at the medicine cabinet of the Fu family. The medicine inside might not be very valuable, but all in a good quality. It could be seen that Doctor Fu’s standard in medicinal materials was very strict. 

He would not sell low quality products with the best quality prices. 

The quality of meigan cai that the old woman sold to her was also quite good.

“Miss Su, sorry to have you waiting.”

Doctor Fu handed a bundle of packages to Su Xiaoxiao’s hand. “You can check it out first.”

Su Xiaoxiao counted the medicinal materials, and there was no shortage of them.

She paused for a while, and suddenly said, “I have a few prescriptions here for treating difficult and complicated diseases. Do you want to learn them?”

Doctor Fu’s eyes were gleaming brightly, he suddenly thought of something, and his face became serious: “Do I still have to buy the Jinchuang medicine?”

Su Xiaoxiao smiled: “No need, I will give it to you directly.”

Doctor Fu: Why did I feel that you were not really that kind……

Soon, Doctor Fu understood that there was no such thing as a free prescription in this world, and there was a price.

In Xinghua Village, in the vegetable field of Old Li Tou’s family, Mrs. Qian was teaching people how to farm.

The one she taught was none other than Su Cheng, the bully of the Su family. 

Mrs. Qian said that she was definitely not short-handed. 

She had swore in her heart before that she would never teach Su Pangya how to farm.

And it was Su Cheng who came, not Su Pangya, so he could be taught. 

Well, it was definitely not because she was short-handed.

“This is a green onion, this is a small chive, this is garlic chives, and this is the garlic sprout you eat on a daily basis. The leaves of the garlic sprout are flat, and the green onion is round.”

-Green onion

-Small chives

-Garlic chives

-Garlic sprouts 

Su Cheng looked at the lush greenery with a dazed expression.

What the hell, weren’t they all the same?

“You go pick some small chives for me,” Mrs. Qian said.

Su Cheng decisively picked up a handful of garlic chives. 

Mrs. Qian: “……”

The villagers who were watching the excitement on the field ridge almost burst out of laughter. 

Su Cheng was the big bully in the village. He used to show off his might. When did he make such a fool of himself?

Su Cheng was so depressed, but he couldn’t lose his temper— his big chubby daughter asked him to learn, so he had to study hard.

Of course, he didn’t come alone to make a fool of himself. He also pulled a scapegoat1 too. 

1scapegoat : to serve as a sacrificial victim, to suffer for somebody else, to share somebody’s fate. 

“Son-in-law, come here!” He said to Wei Ting who was sitting on the ridge of the field.

Wei Ting pointed at his injured leg with the crutch: “Dad, my legs and feet are inconvenient.”

It was rare for Su Cheng to not save his son-in-law’s pride: “Actually, it’s just because you don’t know, right?” 

Wei Ting: “……”

The price of calling father was a bit high.

There were more and more villagers watching, some of them partly came to see the father-in-law and his son-in-law both made a fool of themselves, and the other part were to appreciate Wei Ting’s appearance. 

For such a handsome young man, you couldn’t find another one from all of the neighboring villages. 

In the vegetable field of Old Su’s family, someone also noticed Wei Ting.

“Mom, who is that person?”

Su Jinniang asked.

Mrs. Fang took a look and said to her daughter, “The son-in-law of the Su family!”

Su Jinniang lowered her eyes and said in a low voice, “He looks…… so handsome.”
