After being jilted, the entire neighboring village was filled with deep regret.

Chapter 200 Ke Yunyun's Gratitude
"What kind of medicine is this? I've never seen it before!" Mrs. Wan exclaimed, her eyes wide with surprise.

Su Chunsen also had a furrowed brow. After thinking for a moment, he gritted his teeth, took the pill from Shen Yi's hand, and swallowed it in one gulp.

Mrs. Wan was frantic. "Are you crazy? You're taking medicine without knowing what it is!"

Su Chunsen swallowed the medicine before speaking, "That child can't wait, I'll try it myself. As long as it doesn't kill him, we'll give it a shot."

So everyone sat down quietly and kept staring at Su Chunsen, ready to rush him to the hospital if he had any problems.

After about an hour, Su Chunsen was perfectly fine, but Zhu Kangcheng in the backyard still had a persistent high fever.

After discussing it, everyone decided to have Madam Wan take the medicine inside and explain things to Ke Yunyun.

Ke Yunyun has been exhausted from taking care of her child these past two days; her clothes are disheveled and she looks dazed.

Seeing Madam Wan enter, he hurriedly asked, "Aunt, have you found a way to reduce the fever?"

Madam Wan took out the medicine from her hand, her face showing struggle. "We've consulted all the good doctors in the prefectural city, but they really couldn't do anything. That's why your uncle and cousin-in-law just came. They brought some medicine, saying it can treat headaches and fevers."

Before she could finish speaking, Ke Yunyun hurriedly snatched the medicine, preparing to crush it and feed it to the child.

Mrs. Wan was terrified. "You fool! I haven't finished speaking yet! We don't know what this medicine is made of either. Your eldest uncle took one and was fine. It's up to you whether you want to give it to the child."

Ke Yunyun hesitated for only two breaths before decisively asking Xiao Xi to help feed her the medicine.

After Zhu Kangcheng, who was delirious with fever, swallowed the medicine, the hearts of the three women in the room were in their throats.

Because he's been vomiting half of the medicine he takes these past few days, it's driving him crazy.

The three waited anxiously for fifteen minutes, but when they didn't see the child vomit the medicine, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

Another half hour passed, and Ke Yunyun saw that her son was sleeping more and more soundly on the bed. She quickly reached out and touched his forehead, and found that his hairline was a little damp with sweat and his forehead was not as hot as before. She was overjoyed, "Auntie, Xiao Xi, come and see if his fever has gone down?"

Wan quickly leaned over and placed her hand on Zhu Kangcheng's forehead. After a while, she smiled broadly and said, "It really is true. It's not as hot as it was just now. That medicine works well."

Ke Yunyun quickly asked Xiao Xi to bring in water to wash and dress up before going out to greet the guests.

Su Chunlin and the others breathed a sigh of relief when they learned that the child's fever had subsided.

Shen Yi quickly handed the medicine bottle he had brought to Ke Yunyun, "Xiao Tai said this medicine is for headaches, fevers, and sore throats. Take it three times a day after meals. Adults should take two pills at a time, and children should take one pill at a time."

Ke Yunyun was overjoyed and bowed deeply to Shen Yi with tears in her eyes. "Brother-in-law, I am so grateful to you all this time. Otherwise, I would not know what to do."

Su Chunlin comforted him, "Next time, if there are any problems, send someone back to tell us as soon as possible. You have a carriage, so it will take at most two days to go back. Your uncle was startled when he arrived. You're really something!"

Ke Yunyun felt guilty and apologized again.

Su Chunlin waved his hand and said earnestly, "Your uncle is not blaming you, but teaching you some social skills. Let's not talk about these things for now. It's good that the child is alright. We came here mainly to discuss business with you."

Su Chunsen and the others all looked over.

"What are you up to now?" Su Chunsen frowned subconsciously.

Su Chunlin protested, "Brother, what else could I possibly do? It's just that this year, the government has stopped buying grain, so grain prices won't be as high as in previous years, maybe even less than half. There's no point in growing grain anymore. Shen Yi and Xiao Tai told us to grow fruit, they said it's called watermelon and strawberry, have you heard of them?"

Su Chunsen shook his head and looked at Madam Wan, "You've been by Madam Bai's side for a long time, have you heard?"

Wan also shook her head. Su Chunlin was a little unsure, but still insisted, "I believe in Shen Yi and Xiao Tai. If they say the fruit can fetch a good price, then it definitely can. When the fruit comes in, we want to get some to sell in the prefectural city. Do you want to join us?"

"Uncle, what are your plans?" Su Chuan asked.

Shen Yi answered for him, "What we mean is that you rent a large shop to sell goods, and you take 20% of the profits."

This method was suggested to him by Su Tai.

Su Chuan did the math carefully and said seriously, "In this way, we'll be the ones who benefit. We should just pay them their wages."

Su Chunsen and his wife nodded hurriedly, "Yes, as long as we get paid, we're not worried about food and drink here now, and we even have money from Young Master Zhu. It's much more comfortable than before."

Nothing is more important than Yunyun and her child right now; we can't let making money ruin everything.

It would be troublesome if they showed themselves and were recognized by the Bai family.

Ke Yunyun listened silently, then stepped forward. "Uncle, this matter isn't unsolvable. Although it's not convenient for you to go out, Xiaoxi and I can! We're complete strangers in the city; nobody will recognize us."

"Yunyun! Don't talk nonsense. If Young Master Zhu finds out, he'll definitely be angry," Madam Wan warned sternly.

Ke Yunyun lowered her eyelids, bit her lip, and still refused to give up. "Aunt, even if I can't, Xiaoxi can, right? Let her watch the shop, and we can hire an accountant, isn't that enough?"

Everyone looked toward the backyard.

"That's a good candidate!"

So they started discussing selling fruit.

Over the next two days, because Zhu Kangcheng's health had not yet fully recovered, Su Chunlin was uneasy about leaving, and Shen Yi also wanted to explore the city and understand the local situation before leaving, so they stayed a few more days.

They only prepared to return home after Zhu Kangcheng had recovered sufficiently.

These past two days, Zhu Kangcheng and Su Chunlin had been getting along well, with Zhu Kangcheng constantly calling him "uncle." Seeing that his uncle was about to leave, he couldn't bear to part with him and burst into tears.

Even Ke Yunyun couldn't coax him.

In the end, it was only by offering bread and cakes as a lure that the child calmed down.

They didn't bring much with them this time, and the oxcart was much faster, taking less than three days to get home.

Su Tai was overjoyed to learn about Ke Yunyun's son's condition from Shen Yi.

She then went back to the pharmacy and bought some children's cold and fever medicine for Shen Yi to take to her parents' home.

Sun Ying'er had a way to contact Su Chuan, so she was able to successfully deliver the medicine to Ke Yunyun.

June arrived in the blink of an eye, and all the villagers focused their attention on the fields, because the watermelons and strawberries they had been looking forward to day and night were about to ripen.

Watermelons will be harvested later, but some strawberries are already ready to be picked.

When the first batch of strawberries was picked and delivered to Zhaohua County.

The ladies and young women from wealthy families were all aroused. No woman could resist the temptation of strawberries, especially since Su Tai had chosen the sweetest and reddest variety for everyone. The color alone was enough to make one's mouth water, not to mention the taste.

Because the first batch of strawberries was snapped up, merchants also sensed a business opportunity and took the initiative to go to several villages in Zhaohua County that grow strawberries to buy them as soon as possible, which saved the villagers a lot of trouble.
