Surprise! The rough husband is the hidden boss of the period literature

Chapter 368 If this is the Lu family's intention, let the Lu family come and talk to me.

It's 50 cents a pound, and this stuff is quite heavy. The people in Shangjiang Brigade are ecstatic.

Each household received very little, and even if they had relatives by marriage or their daughters had married out, they dared not tell anyone, for fear of losing this chance to get rich overnight.

Back in Yancheng, Shao Lizhong personally called to discuss two matters: the procurement of Jiangzhuxing and the request for Xu Qinghuan to perform surgery in Yancheng.

Xu Qinghuan answered the phone, "Dean Shao, I really don't believe that falling down the stairs would at most result in a broken leg, a dislocated leg, or even a comminuted fracture with displaced fragments."

Secondly, even so, aren't children's bones just as brittle as those of the elderly, easily shattering into fragments? When I performed surgery in Yancheng, I left so much bone adhesive for you—enough for three surgeries like Huo Zhui's. Don't you have anyone else capable of performing the surgery? Why do you insist on having me do it?"

Shao Lizhong was in a dilemma. He had examined Lu Mingxu's leg, and it looked like it had been crushed by someone's foot. The child was in great pain and pitiful. They could have the surgery, but the Lu family disagreed and insisted that Xu Qinghuan go and do it herself.

“We can do it, but our doctors are definitely not as skilled as yours. It’s understandable that the Lu family is worried because the child is so young. What family member wouldn’t want a highly skilled surgeon to operate on them?”

He paused for a moment, then brazenly added, "Moreover, this patient has a certain connection with you, Xu Zhiqing. We feel that you are the most suitable person to perform this surgery."

After Shao Lizhong finished speaking, he glanced at Liu Qidong, who nodded.

Xu Qinghuan chuckled, her voice tinged with sarcasm, "Dean Shao, if this is the Lu family's intention, let the Lu family come and talk to me."

Shao Lizhong realized she was about to hang up and quickly said, "Xu Zhiqing, there's one more thing. We're also trying to develop a bone adhesive, but we don't have the main ingredient from Jiangzhuxing. I remember you said you had some there. Could you help us contact some suppliers?"

Xu Qinghuan said, "The quantity is not large right now. We are organizing the villagers to plant it, and it will take three or four months before it's ready."

Shao Lizhong asked, "Do you have any seeds? Could you spare some to sell to us?"

Xu Qinghuan chuckled, remained noncommittal, and hung up the phone.

Shao Lizhong blushed deeply with embarrassment.

Yu Xiaomin came over, and Xu Qinghuan grabbed a handful of seeds for her, saying, "Plant more, and you can get a higher price this year."

After she returned, many more people came to see Xu Qinghuan, and she shared some of their money with them.

Tian Jinhua, heavily pregnant, came over and wanted Xu Qinghuan to check on the baby's condition. Xu Qinghuan poured her a cup of spiritual water from her spatial storage and, after taking her pulse, said, "It's fine. Just pay more attention to your diet and make sure you get enough nutrition."

Tian Jinhua looked at the situation and said with a smile, "I can eat an egg every day now, which is much better. A couple of days ago, my husband even bought a pound of milk candy, saying that I should eat one every day. He said it was made from milk and that it would help me get some nutrition."

"I heard that seven milk candies make a cup of milk. Sister-in-law, you should eat more. The more you eat, the better the baby will grow."

In this era, the survival rate of children was much lower than in later generations.

After talking for a while, Tian Jinhua got up to go back. Xu Qinghuan was worried and accompanied her to the Jiang family. They happened to see the old couple turning over the vegetable garden, turning over every nook and cranny, saying they were going to plant jujube trees.

Xu Qinghuan grabbed two handfuls of seeds and gave them to the elderly couple.

The production brigade distributed only one seed to each household. Since most families had never grown seeds before, they certainly wouldn't value them. But if they didn't distribute them, it would be human nature to worry about inequality rather than scarcity. So, for those who wanted to grow seeds, Xu Qinghuan didn't hesitate to give them seeds.

The elderly couple turned over even more enthusiastically.

Zhou Guizhi called Xu Qinghuan aside, rubbed her hands with her apron, and poured Xu Qinghuan a cup of tea. "A couple of days ago, Xiao Wu told me something. He said he was trying to find a marriage partner for your second brother, but he was called away after only saying a few words."

I don't know who he's talking about. It's so frustrating! He's been so busy these past few days, I can't even find him. Do you know which company he's talking about?

Xu Qinghuan found it a little funny to see Zhou Guizhi scratching like a cat. "He did mention it before, referring to Su Fen from Uncle Gensheng's family."

Zhou Guizhi's heart sank immediately. "Su Fen is good, but her family is looking for a son-in-law to live with them. How could Xiao Wu have thought of having your second brother arrange this marriage?"

Xu Qinghuan said, “Auntie, everything can be discussed. I’ve also heard Aye say that their family has two reasons for wanting a son-in-law: first, they want someone to carry on the family line, so as not to let the family line die out; second, Sister Sufen is filial, so they are afraid that if she marries out, no one will take care of her parents in their old age.”

I think if I can meet these two requirements of their family, I don't necessarily have to become a live-in son-in-law.

Zhou Guizhi admired Dong Sufeng's character. It was pitiful that she couldn't get married. She knew that the two of them were smart. "What do you mean? Your second brother can't live alone forever. He found someone like that before, and he's scared. He won't budge easily. I'm so worried about him."

Xu Qinghuan said, "Firstly, Second Brother already has Da Dan and Er Dan. If they get married and have children, one of them can be surnamed Dong. Secondly, Uncle Gensheng trusts Second Brother's character and will definitely take care of them in their old age. It's impossible for him to just leave Uncle Gensheng and his wife alone. Besides, it's not impossible for them to live at their house after getting married."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Guizhi beamed with joy. "The first child will still bear the surname Jiang, but the second child will bear the surname Dong. You and Xiao Wu are right. Dong Gensheng only has one daughter. There's no reason why the children shouldn't care for the elderly couple when they're bedridden."

If your second brother dares to do it, I'll definitely beat him to death.

Dong Gensheng has difficulty walking, so he takes care of all the cattle and horses in the brigade, earning seven work points a day, all year round.

He couldn't do much more work.

Originally, Jiang Baohua had said he would get him a few sheep to raise, and Dong Gensheng was also very interested. However, he couldn't handle the horse and cow manure in the pen and had to wait for his daughter to come back every day to pick it out. He felt sorry for his daughter, so he gave up on the idea.

Dong Sufeng carried a load of manure to the field. She kept her head down and moved her legs quickly. The heavy load bent her shoulders and back. It was a chilly spring day. She was wearing a tattered shirt, and her forehead and back were covered in sweat.

Jiang Xingyong ran into her. She had her head down, and her load swayed back and forth. When Jiang Xingyong came to his senses, it was too late to avoid her, and a load of manure crashed directly into him.

"Ouch!" Dong Sufeng stumbled and almost fell, but a strong hand caught her and rested on her waist.

Dong Sufeng looked up and met Jiang Xingyong's gaze.

The man had thick eyebrows and large eyes, and he looked at her with a menacing gaze.

After she regained her balance, Jiang Xingyong quickly withdrew his hand, the soft warmth lingering in his palm, causing his fingers to involuntarily curl slightly.

Dong Sufeng saw that he was wearing a slightly worn shirt and black trousers, but now half of his body was covered in feces. He was patting himself with a patched yellow satchel, his eyebrows relaxed, as if he were doing something very ordinary.
