Transmigration: Becoming the Wicked Stepmother of Four Children

Chapter 57 Saving Master Zhang in the Street

The group split into two groups.

Lin Qingshan and Lin Erzhu drove an oxcart to inspect the building materials.

Lin Yunlan and Lu Qingqing led the newly bought oxcart,

I'm going to the grocery store to buy some rice, flour, oil, and other grains.

Suddenly there was a commotion ahead.

"Something's wrong! Someone has fainted!"

The crowd quickly gathered around.

Lin Yunlan and Lu Qingqing exchanged a glance and then joined in.

An old man was lying on the ground, his face pale.

People around were talking amongst themselves, but none of them dared to go forward.

Lu Qingqing squeezed to the front and squatted down.

He reached out to check the old man's breathing and then felt his pulse, saying:

"Everyone, spread out a bit to keep the air circulating."

Lin Yunlan asked anxiously from the side:

"Qingqing, how are you?"

Lu Qingqing examined the old man's eyes again, her brows furrowing slightly as she said:

"She's in shock. Her condition is bad. We need to treat her immediately."

As she spoke, she took a small bottle out of her bosom.

He poured out a pill and put it into the old man's mouth.

Lu Qingqing only breathed a sigh of relief after seeing the old man swallow the medicine.

After a while, the old man slowly woke up, and the people around him exclaimed in surprise.

Lu Qingqing breathed a sigh of relief and said:

"Grandpa, are you feeling any better?"

The old man nodded weakly: "Thank you for saving my life, young lady."

Lu Qingqing said:

"Please don't speak yet, take a good rest."

At this moment, a young man stepped out from the crowd and said:

"Isn't this Master Zhang?"

Lu Qingqing and Lin Yunlan exchanged a glance, thinking that the old man's identity was probably not simple.

"It really is Master Zhang! Master, please wait here, I'll go to Qingshan Academy to call for help right away!"

After saying that, the young man quickly ran to Qingshan Academy to call for help.

Based on her experience, Lu Qingqing concluded that

This scholar went into shock due to high blood pressure.

However, in ancient times, drugs to control blood pressure had probably not yet been developed.

Seeing that the old man was feeling better, she handed the bottle to Master Zhang and said:

"Sir, this is dizziness and shock caused by high blood pressure."

Please take this bottle of medicine. Take one pill every day.

You will no longer experience dizziness.

If you run out of your medicine, you can come to Linjia Village to get more from me.

Master Zhang gratefully accepted the medicine bottle and said:

"Thank you, young lady. May I ask your name?"

Lu Qingqing smiled and replied:

"Grandpa, my name is Lu Qingqing,"

Just then, the young man arrived in a hurry with several people from the academy.

One of them asked anxiously:

"Master, how are you?"

Master Zhang waved his hand and said:

"I am now out of danger, thanks to the help of this Miss Lu."

Everyone thanked Lu Qingqing and Lin Yunlan.

Lu Qingqing said:

"Please don't stand on ceremony, everyone. Since the old man is no longer in serious health..."

We'll be going now.

After saying that, she and Lin Yunlan turned and left to continue with their business.

Master Zhang looked at the strange medicine bottle and murmured to himself:

"If this medicine can really cure my incurable disease,

"I will certainly pay a visit to express my gratitude in the future. Lin Family Village, I will remember this."

The disciple beside him said:

"Master, this girl looks unfamiliar, and I don't know if this medicine is really effective."

Master Zhang shook his head slightly:

"Regardless of whether the medicine is effective or not, the girl's kindness alone is commendable."

"Wait until I take it, and then you will see the result."

Afterwards, everyone escorted Master Zhang back to the academy.

Looking at Lu Qingqing, who seemed completely unaffected, Lin Yunlan became even more certain.

I couldn't help but feel a surge of respect and affection for her.

He couldn't help but ask:

"Qingqing, how do you possess such miraculous medical skills and pills?"

Lu Qingqing was slightly taken aback, then smiled and said:

"Yunlan, I just enjoy studying medical books in my spare time."

I just happened to be there today and was able to help.

Lin Yunlan nodded, and the two continued walking towards the nearby general store.

Lu Qingqing went on a big shopping spree today, buying some rice and flour.

I also bought some salt, sugar, oil, and seasonings.

She thought of the dozen or so acres of land her family had just bought; they couldn't let that go to waste.

She pondered that the fertile plot of land could only grow wheat, given the climate.

At the foot of the mountain, Lu Qingqing planned to plant some cabbages and radishes.

So she selected some premium wheat seeds, as well as radish and cabbage seeds.

When the shop owner saw that Lu Qingqing had bought so many things,

Their attitude was as if they had seen a god of wealth.

His face was always smiling, and his mouth never closed.

"Madam, you have such a discerning eye! You've chosen only the finest seeds!"

The boss praised her while rubbing his hands together.

Lu Qingqing just smiled and didn't say anything.

The boss continued:

"Madam, your magnanimous demeanor clearly shows you're a capable manager!"

The waiter standing to the side couldn't help but roll his eyes and mutter under his breath:

"Boss, you're really flattering me too much."

The boss glared at the waiter and continued speaking to Lu Qingqing:

"Madam, rest assured, everything in my shop is absolutely top-notch!"

Lu Qingqing nodded and said:

"Boss, I'll buy all of these."

Could you please give me a discount? I'll definitely come back next time.

The boss said:

"Madam, this is just a small business, so the price is bound to be high."

However, I have a bag of rare items here, which I'll give to you for free.

Lu Qingqing opened it and thought to herself:

"Isn't this a potato? It's a rare treat."

This boss never even thinks through his attempts to appease people.

Then the shop owner explained:

"Don't laugh at me, but this was brought back from another country by one of my cousins."

But nobody knows what it is.

"Since Madam bought so many things from me today, I'll give them to you as a gift."

Lu Qingqing thought to herself:

"Does the boss really not know that these are potatoes?"

Does that mean potatoes weren't widely available at that time?

She looked up at the boss and tentatively asked:

"Boss, you really don't know what this is?"

The boss scratched his head and said embarrassedly:

"Madam, I really don't know, it looks very strange."

They didn't dare to sell it rashly.

Lu Qingqing smiled and said:

"Boss, thank you so much!"

I'll have to trouble you to have someone help me move the things onto my oxcart.

"okay!"

The boss readily agreed and immediately called to the staff:

"Quickly, help Madam load her things into the car!"

Upon hearing the order, the worker immediately stepped forward and began moving things.

After paying the money, Lu Qingqing glanced at the sky and realized it was already past noon.

He immediately said anxiously to Lin Yunlan:

"Yunlan, it's past noon already."

Let's hurry and meet up with Dad and Second Brother; they probably haven't eaten yet either!

Lin Yunlan replied:

"Okay, sit tight, let's go!"

The two hurriedly boarded the oxcart and headed towards the timber market on West Street.

As soon as I arrived at the market entrance, I saw Lin Qingshan and Lin Erzhu busy at work in the distance.

"Father, Second Brother," Lu Qingqing called out.

Lin Qingshan looked up when he heard the shout and saw Lu Qingqing and Lin Yunlan coming over.

He smiled and waved:

"Yunlan, Qingqing, come here quickly!"

Lu Qingqing and Lin Yunlan quickly walked closer.

Lin Yunlan asked:

"Dad, how's the selection going?"

Lin Qingshan patted the wood beside him:

"They're almost done, just waiting to be loaded onto the trucks and taken back."

Lin Erzhu also came over:

"Third brother, how are things over there?"

Lu Qingqing replied with a smile:

"We've bought everything we need."

"That's good, Qingqing. Go and rest in a cool place."

I'll set it up with Yunlan and your second brother.

Lu Qingqing quickly said:

"Dad, I'm not tired, I can help too."

Lin Qingshan waved his hand:

"Listen to me, child, don't get involved in this rough work, let us do it."

Lin Yunlan also advised:

"Qingqing, just listen to your father and watch from the side."

Helpless, Lu Qingqing could only stand aside, muttering to herself:

"Alright then, thank you for your hard work."

Lin Qingshan and his two sons then got to work with great enthusiasm.

In no time, all the timber was packed.
