After the vicious adoptive mother gave up, the scumbag children regretted it

Chapter 289: Trick Mrs. Chen into standing up

Mrs. Chen was also a typical inner-house woman who regarded her husband as her God. Even though County Magistrate Chen did some excessive things, she dared not resist but only shed tears and felt sad.

Shen Nanzhi would not look down on her. After all, the education she received prevented her from doing anything out of line.

But don't be afraid, in a few days, under her guidance, you will become a brand new Mrs. Chen.

Young Master Chen's full name is Chen Zihao. He raised his hand to wipe his mother's tears. "Mom, I'm not feeling bad. Please don't cry. I will never vomit after taking the medicine. I will try my best to swallow it down. I am not afraid of the bitterness."

Mrs. Chen felt even more distressed, for her poor child!

"Okay, stop crying about the separation of life and death. It's not a big deal. Medicine is poisonous to some extent. Even adults feel sour in the stomach after drinking the bitter medicine soup, let alone children?

He didn't eat properly and his stomach was empty. How could he not vomit?

Drink the porridge first. I have some sweet medicine here. Try drinking the porridge and taking the medicine. Heat up the house first. It’s so cold, even adults can’t stand it, let alone children.”

Several more charcoal basins were placed, burning vigorously and warming up quickly. However, Mrs. Chen felt a little distressed about burning so much charcoal. Besides food, charcoal was the most expensive thing outside now, costing fifty cents per pound. In normal years, it was only five cents. The price had increased by dozens of times and was often out of stock.

The lean meat porridge was served, sprinkled with sesame oil, and with the special aroma of preserved eggs, Chen Zihao, who originally had no appetite, could not help but eat a small bowl and said with a smile: "This porridge is delicious, I didn't vomit."

"Then eat more."

"No, drink the medicine first. This is a prescription my father specially asked someone to find when I was a child. I am also afraid of bitterness. This one tastes sweet and children love it."

What she took out was cold powder. Although it was not specially for children, she would not choose this now. Chen Zihao was not a baby, so he should be fine.

After the hot water was poured, the orange color looked beautiful. Chen Zihao took a sip and said, "It's really not bitter. Thank you, sister."

"You're so good. Eat well and take medicine to take care of your body. Be filial to your mother in the future and don't let her worry."

"Well, I will definitely do it."

After drinking the medicine and not vomiting it, the room became warmer and the child fell drowsy. Mrs. Chen cried again, this time with emotion. The child was finally able to sleep peacefully.

"Let's go out. Sleep is good for the child."

Shen Nanzhi asked her to go out and asked the maid to take care of the child.

Mrs. Chen thanked him nonstop: "Thank you, young lady, thank you, young master. If anything happens to my child, I won't want to live anymore."

Shen Nanzhi said seriously, "Madam Chen, I can save you temporarily, but I can't save you forever. Lord Chen is a good official, but he is not a good father or husband. If you are still so tolerant and cowardly, you won't be so lucky to meet me to help you next time."

Mrs. Chen was filled with grief. "What can I do? He is the head of the family. Even if he has many faults, I cannot disobey him."

Shen Nanzhi wanted to pry open her head to see who had brainwashed her so thoroughly. She was like a slave of County Magistrate Chen, even more hateful than a love-brained person.

Shen Nanzhi suppressed her temper and said, "I'm not asking you to rebel against your husband, but to be flexible. Master Chen is so busy, how can he know the situation at home? How much money and food do we have?

You can't be so honest. Just give it to him if he asks for it. Don't think about yourself. Think about your children instead.

You will need money to educate your child, to find a wife, or to have a son. Do you want your grandchildren to suffer the same hardships that your child has gone through?"

"No."

Mrs. Chen finally came to her senses, but then she started to worry again: "It's no use thinking so much now. I have nothing at home and I can't do anything."

Shen Nanzhi took out five thousand taels of silver and said, "This is the compensation from the Jin family to County Magistrate Chen. You keep it, but don't tell County Magistrate Chen. I will tell the young master and ask him to help you get it over with.

Madam Chen, a mother must be strong. For the sake of your children, you should think about how you are going to live in the future.

Also, a qualified mistress is not one who is blindly submissive, but one who advises, helps, and works hand in hand with her husband when he goes astray. Only then can she be a good husband.

You are not his slave, you don't need to be so humble, you should get angry and set the rules, men are all mean, you are strong and he is weak, if you don't believe me, try it. "

"This……"

Shen Nanzhi's words overturned Mrs. Chen's three views. She was taught by her family since she was a child to follow the Three Obediences and Four Virtues, and that she should not disobey her husband and should be obedient and virtuous. But no one dared to say such words.

Shen Nanzhi tempted her like a little devil: "When you begged him, did you really want to slap him in the face, but you just held back?

Be yourself in the future. There is no need to be tolerant. If you tolerate him, he will get ahead of you. Once you can’t tolerate him anymore, it will be a huge sin.

He is a man of few means, and he seems to have no money to eat. If you let someone else do the job of Madam Chen, who would care about you?"

Mrs. Chen has always been like this. She is so poor that she can't even get enough food to eat. The only title she has is that of the county magistrate's wife, which sounds a bit better. She can't endure it at all.

Do you have the guts to divorce me?

Does he dare?

If he divorces himself, where can he find a scapegoat to exploit and bully?

"Miss, you are right. I will accept the money."

"That's right. Our young master lives in the Xu family, the one that runs the restaurant. Miss Xu is the young master's godsister. If the lady has any flaws, she can talk to her more."

In the past, Mrs. Chen seldom went out. On the one hand, her family was poor and she didn’t want to embarrass herself. She also had to socialize in a give-and-take manner, she couldn’t just stay at other people’s houses, right?

Secondly, County Magistrate Chen did not like those ladies bribing his wife in the name of madam diplomacy. He was afraid that his wife would learn bad things and did not like her to go.

Mrs. Chen stayed at home to teach her children obediently, rarely socialized, and became increasingly withdrawn and depressed.

Young Master Yang praises the Xu family so much, so we can get to know each other. We have all been helped by Young Master Yang, so we have common topics.

Mrs. Chen kept it in mind and sent Shen Nanzhi out. She stood at the door and thought for a long time. The cold wind blowing on her face made her feel more clear-headed than ever before.

……

Mrs. Chen, who had been successfully deceived, also turned evil. Shen Nanzhi felt sorry for the five thousand taels of silver and couldn't wait to ask for it back.

She changed into men's clothes, with a folding fan in her hand, and went straight to the Jin family. She only needed to ask around and people would tell her that it was the largest one, with the entire street filled with Jin's family members.

Shen Nanzhi soon arrived at the gate of the Jin family. Wow, it was so grand, it was as big as a town in their village.

The guard also looked arrogant: "Who are you looking for?"

If she hadn't dressed well, she would have been chased away.

"Go find your Master Jin and tell him that Yang Lingzhao is here to visit."

"Wait."

She did not bring any servants with her, so the guard thought she was an ordinary merchant, perhaps asking their master for a favor.

As a result, Jin Changsheng got up with a whine and said, "What does Yang want to do? How dare he come to my house after beating me? Help me up and enter my house, and see how you get out."

Jin Changsheng was carried to the flower hall by servants because his knees were in unbearable pain and he couldn't get up.

Shen Nanzhi walked in leisurely, and smiled as if asking for a beating, "Master Jin, why do you look so unhappy? Do you not welcome me?"

Jin Changsheng laughed: "Welcome, why not? I admire Young Master Yang for being so brave. After beating me, he dared to chase me home. Do you really think that I, Jin Changsheng, am easy to bully?"

"Ouch, so domineering, so scary, do you still want to fight back?"

"That's right. Come here, break his legs for me. So what if he's the son of a prefect? ​​You came to me on your own. How can I let you go?"

"You dare to hit me, aren't you afraid that my father will seek revenge on you?"

"I have connections in the capital. If your father still wants to be the prefect, he has to apologize to me. What a mere young master is!"

Shen Nanzhi admired and said, "Zhang, you are so powerful. I am afraid of you. I apologize to you. Actually, I am not here to cause trouble to you this time. I want to make peace with you."

"Do you think I will believe it?"

"You can believe me. I came here with sincerity. Master Jin, your face is flushed, your lips are purple, and you are so fat. I'm afraid there is something wrong with your body. Do you have ventilation? Your feet are swollen and you can't even wear shoes."

"Do you know medical skills?"

"I know a little bit. Gout is the most torturous disease. I see you drink water frequently. Do you also have diabetes?"

Xiaoke disease is diabetes, which also existed in ancient times, but not very common, and mostly occurred in wealthy families.

Jin Changsheng's face was gloomy and uncertain. He was right. He had indeed suffered a lot in the past few years, and no matter how much medicine he took, it didn't have much effect.

He was thinking of going to the capital to see the imperial physician, and would set off once he had made enough money this time.

"Can you cure it?"

"Of course, otherwise I'd break your legs?"

"If you can't be cured, I'll break your legs anyway."

"My medicine works immediately and is guaranteed to be effective, but it is very expensive, one thousand taels of silver per dose."

Mr. Jin remained calm: "As long as it works, money is not a problem."

"Okay, let's go inside."

Shen Nanzhi also had diabetes, high blood pressure, and high blood lipids in her previous life. She couldn't avoid drinking and eating meat, so she prepared a lot of insulin, enteric-coated tablets, and antihypertensive drugs. These were the most common medicines in her medicine box.

Gout and diabetes protect each other and can also occur together. Shen Nanzhi gave him painkillers, which worked immediately, but did not help much in curing the disease.

Precious insulin cannot be used on him, he doesn't deserve it!

Anyway, with all his illnesses, he wouldn't live long, but he didn't realize how serious his illness was.

Mr. Jin was indeed much better. Even his knees didn't hurt as much. He could stand up. He said happily, "This medicine is really effective. No wonder it's so expensive? Where's the prescription? You're not only giving me this one thousand taels for this one time, are you?"

"I don't have a prescription. My father got it from a wandering Taoist priest to treat my grandfather. Later, my grandfather passed away, and the medicine was all that was left. It was fate that I met Master Jin. If I didn't want to make peace with you, I wouldn't be willing to give it to you."

Master Jin's eyes sparkled with shrewdness: "I see Young Master Yang's sincerity. Let's let bygones be bygones. How many medicines do you have? I want them all."
