Chapter 70 Extra-staff +3
At this point, Wang Ergou suddenly remembered something and hurriedly pulled out a copper coin from his chest pocket, intending to give it to Bai Mengran.
"My benefactor, please take this money. I forgot to give you the money after you gave me the medicine. This is all I have, please don't mind. I will definitely work hard to pay you back the rest!"
He felt a pang of regret; he had been so shocked that he had forgotten to pay his benefactor after taking her things…
Then he remembered that the vegetable basket he had carried that morning had disappeared after he met Fang Dali and the others. His mother had bought that basket for more than ten coins. Thinking of this, Wang Ergou felt a pang of heartache...
Bai Mengran could guess the family's situation just by looking at Er Gou's mud-brick and thatched house.
But Wang Ergou sincerely handed her the copper coin, which showed that although his family was poor, the boy was simple and kind.
"Okay, I'll take this money for now. It should be enough for the medicine. As long as you work hard and earn money, everything will be alright!"
Bai Mengran decided to accept Er Gou's money because he genuinely wanted to use it to save his mother, and accepting the money out of empathy would put his mind at ease.
Seeing that Wang Ergou's eyes lit up slightly, Bai Mengran thought to herself, "If only there were some way to help their family."
It's a pity she doesn't have a farming system and doesn't need to cook herself, otherwise she would buy their vegetables; these all-natural vegetables would definitely taste delicious!
"Ahem, host, who says this won't work?" the eavesdropping system suddenly spoke up.
"System, you really have a way?" Bai Mengran was overjoyed.
[Host, you can recycle it back to the system at the cost price given in the system store!]
The System Administration currently attaches great importance to food safety issues. These kinds of purely natural, green vegetable resources are extremely scarce, existing only in a few ancient dimensional systems.
"Wow! I remember you said before that the system uses all-natural, additive-free ingredients. I didn't expect that we could supply them!"
Yes, not only can it be recycled back to the system, but the host can also find other systems to trade privately in the [Forum] section, although that would be more troublesome.
[Ding! Congratulations, host, for suggesting "recycling organic vegetables." You have been awarded one draw in the system's lottery, bringing your total to two draws.]
The system seizes every opportunity to offer benefits, and it's become increasingly adept at this practice.
"Thank you for the generous gift, Tongbao. I'd like to check the system's recycling prices first."
[Okay, the [System Recycling] - {Fruits and Vegetables} interface has been opened for the host. Please take a look.]
"okay!"
Bai Mengran quickly skimmed through the information. The buyback price for "pure natural vegetables" was generally between 2 and 10 system coins per kilogram, which was higher than the vegetable prices here.
Not bad, looks like this has potential! Reselling to the system can earn some extra cash.
She followed behind the two brothers, Wang Ergou and Wang Ergou, and noticed that Wang Ergou would occasionally glance back at the carriage, looking as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.
"what happened?"
"Uh... my benefactor, I was worried that someone in the village might see your carriage... um, please don't misunderstand, it's just that this carriage is so magnificent and can even fly... I'm worried..."
He worried that someone might covet his benefactor's carriage... and he was also afraid that if someone saw him getting off such a luxurious carriage, they would tell his scumbag father and he would come to their house demanding money again...
His father has been away from home lately. Although the three of them have been living a hard life, at least they don't have to worry about their father losing money gambling and taking it out on their mother...
"Don't worry, no one else can see this carriage."
Seeing his concern, Bai Mengran explained, "I used a little trick to make sure only the three of us could see it! Remember to keep it a secret!"
Then Wang Ergou was first shocked, then understood, and then quickly covered his mouth.
Wang Xiaochuan, who was standing next to him, followed suit and covered his mouth as well.
Wang Ergou: Sure enough, he wasn't wrong! My benefactor admitted to casting the spell; she really is a goddess!
Wang Xiaochuan: What are they saying? I don't understand, but following my brother's lead is always the right thing to do...
As soon as they entered the courtyard, the three heard a heart-wrenching cough coming from inside the house. Wang Ergou immediately panicked and rushed in first.
"Mother! How are you? Xiaochuan and I have brought back the medicine!"
"Cough cough... Mother is fine... You must have spent a lot of money again."
When Li saw her son return, she tried to sit up, but she was too weak to do so.
"Mother, please slow down! Let me help you up..."
Wang Ergou carefully helped Li Shi sit up by supporting her back, then turned to Xiao Chuan and said, "Go pour a bowl of warm water for Mother to take her medicine, and then find a clean cup by the stove to fill a cup with water for our benefactor."
Wang Xiaochuan obediently agreed and went out.
"Erwazi, who is this...?"
When Li heard Er Gou call her benefactor, she quickly asked what was wrong.
"Mother, this is our benefactor. We were saved by him just now... Also, your medicine was given to us by our benefactor!"
“My benefactor, thank you so much for helping us, mother and children. Please sit down and rest! Cough cough... Erwa, quickly go and get a stool for our benefactor to sit on! We have nothing here and haven't taken good care of her... We've made a fool of ourselves in front of our benefactor…”
Li was beautiful and gentle, and although she looked sickly, she resembled Xi Shi. No wonder her two sons looked upright and well-behaved, as they had inherited Li's appearance.
"Thank you for your hospitality, Auntie. Please drink your medicine quickly; it should take effect soon."
When Bai Mengran saw Xiao Chuan bring in water, she went to Er Gou and took the medicine. She first took out one antipyretic pill and one anti-inflammatory pill, and asked Wang Er Gou to help Li Shi take them with water.
"These two medicines are for reducing fever and anti-inflammation, respectively. The fever will subside quickly after taking them. After a while, take the medicine to clear the lungs and stop coughing."
She read the instructions when she bought the medicine. The medicine produced by the system is the most advanced at present, and even the effects of ordinary medicine are extraordinary.
Basically, one pill is effective, with immediate results.
Sure enough, not long after taking the medicine, Li felt much better breathing and her body was no longer as sensitive to cold as before.
She looked at Bai Mengran with surprise and delight, "My benefactor, I feel much better! Your medicine is truly miraculous!"
Wang Ergou wanted to tell his mother that his benefactor was a deity and that the elixir she gave him must be extraordinary, but he didn't dare to say it in front of his benefactor.
"My benefactor, how much money do my two sons owe you in total? We really can't afford it right now, but don't worry, my benefactor, once I'm feeling better, I'll do everything I can to earn the money and pay you back!"
Li Xiuniang was originally from a wealthy merchant family in Fulin Town.
When she was ten years old, her father brought home his concubine, whom he had kept outside for many years, along with a son who was about the same age as her.
Her mother had always been frail due to severe bleeding during childbirth. From then on, she was filled with sorrow and melancholy, and passed away within a year.
After the concubine came to take charge of the household, she made things difficult for her in every way. Her father, influenced by her father's words, also felt that his daughter was nothing but a money-losing commodity and would eventually have to get married.
Later, her father left the mansion to do business for several months, and her aunt took the opportunity to marry her off to her distant, bachelor brother from her hometown.
