80. Debt of Rebirth

  The speaker is unintentional, but the listener is intentional. As soon as Bai Wengu heard about the big pharmacy in the provincial capital, he thought of the Snow Lotus he had sold there before.

  Won't it be that he was cured by eating their family's snow lotus? But the snow lotus only had one, and he even sold it, so even if he wanted to help this friend, he has no way now.

  Yu Ting quietly nestled in the arms of Diao Mingquan, she had also heard what was just said, and after thinking about it for a moment, the old shopkeeper must have eaten the snow lotus sold by her father.

  Although they are both Snow Orchids, Yu Tong knows the difference between them. Zhai Mingquan's mother wasn't cured because this Snow Orchid is not that Snow Orchid.

  But she can't say anything now and can only quietly listen to the two people chatting.

  On the way back, Bai Wenli thought of something, "Ya Tou, do you have seeds from the snow lotus you planted last time? If there are seeds, will they also have the same effect?"

  Bai Wengong's words really hit the nail on the head this time.

  Yu Sai smiled and glanced at her dad, smart people are indeed smart, they can quickly think of the key part of things.

  "Dad, I kept the seeds and secretly planted a few more. Although they haven't grown yet, I can give you some to try and see if they can cure Grandma Dai's illness."

  The girl's words surprised Bai Wenli, how did this child manage to grow snow lotus by himself without him knowing?

  "Girl, has your hair sprouted yet?"

  Yu Xi smiled and shook her head, "Not yet, if it sprouts then it will be ripe soon."

  Bai Wengui thought to himself, "This kid probably thinks this thing can be grown in the ground like a radish or Chinese cabbage." He secretly laughed to himself, thinking that kids will always be kids. However, he didn't plan on discouraging his daughter's enthusiasm, so he let her plant it anyway. He estimated the chances of it sprouting were almost zero.

  Yu Sai also didn't hide anything privately and took out the seeds collected in the space.

  Bai Wengui hadn't studied this thing, but he didn't want to just hand it over in its original form either, or else he wouldn't be able to explain where it came from.

  She took the seeds given by her daughter and put them in a stone mortar for pounding garlic, and pounded them into powder.

  Yu Tong looked on from the side and couldn't help but give Bai Wengu a thumbs up. "Dad, you're really awesome..."

  Bai Wenyi also thought this idea was good and felt complacent.

  The two women who came back from working on the mountain saw the two men squatting on the ground and didn't know what they were doing.

  "Old Bai, how was your daughter's performance at the concert today?"

  Geng Mei saw the maiden in a white dress and picked up the child, giving her a big kiss.

  Bai Wen Li said with a proud smile, "Our daughter is still not bad at all. Those kids are not as good as our child. I didn't finish watching the show and took the kid back home directly. Anyway, she wasn't performing in the next part, so it's better to just go home."

  Geng Mei knew her husband could say that. The children in their family were always on his lips. Those from other families would never catch up.

  Bai Wenhui was still afraid that his wife wouldn't believe him. On the spot, he taught them a lesson, "How's that? You see our daughter is good, other kids can only stammer when reading from a script, but look at our daughter, she's speaking off the cuff, fundamentally different."

  Geng Mei looked at her husband's eager expression and smiled happily.

  "Yes, our family's child is good, this time you are satisfied, daughter, you also count as worthy of your father's intention to buy clothes for you."

  Geng Mei saw her husband doing something in the stone mortar and asked curiously, "Old Bai, what are you doing?"

  Because of the fragrance coming from the stone mill, even Geng Mei couldn't figure out what kind of thing could give off such a fragrant smell.

  Bai Wenli blinked his eyes, "Hey, this is the pesticide I found someone to spray on the fruit trees. If it doesn't smell good, how can we get the bugs to eat it? If they don't eat it, how can we kill them?"

  Geng Mei heard this and didn't pursue it further, her husband had his own reasons for doing things.

  Bai Haoran listened clearly from the side, his sister had made a big show today.

  "Sister, you're so awesome! Haha, I think when school starts tomorrow, there will be quite a few people trying to get close to me."

  At home there is such a proud little sister, Bai Haoran this elder brother of course has the honor.

  "Brother, have you finished your homework?"

  Seeing his brother's triumphant look, Yu Tong suddenly spoke out, and Bai Haoran immediately wilted, hastily going into the house to do his homework obediently.

  Bai Wen finished preparing the snow lotus seeds, went back to the house and mixed some fried noodles into them. This way, it was impossible to tell what they were, and the fragrance of the fried noodles could also cover up the unique refreshing scent of the snow lotus seeds.

  Bai Wengui said to Geng Mei, started the car and left. The medicine for treating illness should be delivered as soon as possible, it's more important to cure the disease early.

  Bai Wenshen walked out of his friend's place with a gloomy face. Today was an unlucky day for him, and he had lost quite a bit.

  Bai Wenli was driving and about to turn into Zhai Qingquan's place when he caught a glimpse of his family member, Bai Wenshen.

  "Hey Fourth Brother, what are you doing?"

  Bai Wensheng was startled by his brother's sudden shout and hastily looked towards Bai Wenli, "Brother, I just finished a job and was thinking of finding a place to eat."

  He didn't dare say that he lost money playing cards with others. If his elder brother knew that he was gambling, he would definitely get a beating.

  Bai Wencheng patted his younger brother on the shoulder and said, "Fourth Brother, wait here for a while. I'll be back after I've finished my business and we can have dinner together."

  Bai Wenxin didn't expect his luck was bad, but his fortune was good, and he could still get a free meal.

  When he saw Di Qingquan, Bai Wenlie didn't spare any courtesy either.

  "Lao Diao, this is something I got from a friend, it's their family's traditional medicine. Take it back and give it to your mom to try, see if it works."

  Dai Qingquan was stunned by his words and didn't expect this friend to take his words so seriously. "Lao Bai, where did you come up with this? Is it enough?"

  "Little brother, this is all we have left that's useful. The medicine isn't hard to make, but the catalyst is difficult to find. Our ancestors only left us with this small amount of catalyst. I've already added it to your mom's medicine today, so there's none left even if you want more. Take it back and try it out, remember to finish it all off, don't throw it away. Take one spoonful three times a day, dissolved in boiling water."

  Dai Qingquan heard this and understood that although the package didn't look like much, it was actually the last dose of good medicine to cure his mother's illness, and others probably wouldn't have any.

  Taking the medicine, he patted Bai Wengui's shoulder, "Old Bai, I won't say thank you, brother, I'll remember it in my heart..."

  Bai Wenchong's face turned serious as he looked at Qiao Qingquan, who was smiling. "What's going on? We're brothers, aren't we? Old Qiao, hurry up and take the medicine back to your mom, I have an appointment with someone else, so I won't stay here any longer, I'll leave first."

  Di Qingquan also wanted to invite old friends to go out for a casual meal, but the other person came all the way to deliver medicine especially for him, and it's not right to let them return on an empty stomach.

  Bai Weng smiled and explained, "Old Jia, I just saw my brother, and we've already agreed to have dinner together. You should hurry back, Auntie's illness will get better soon, and I'll be happy too, let's go!" Jia Mingquan took the medicine and headed back, but he didn't have much expectation. After all, they had seen countless famous doctors, but unfortunately, his mother's illness still hadn't shown any improvement, and he had already become somewhat disheartened.

  However, an old friend specially sent him medicine, just for the sake of this kind intention, he supervised his mother to take the medicine. On the first day after finishing it, the old lady's half-paralyzed body had begun to have sensation. After continuous use, there was improvement every day until all the medicine was finished, and the old lady could walk on the ground again, just like before she got sick.

  Dai Mingquan's mother cried like a child when she could still walk, hugging her son.

  Who would have thought that after walking for most of their life, one day they would suddenly be forced to lie quietly on the bed, unable to move or eat. The feeling of being incontinent and urinating on the bed is unbearable. At that time, the old lady's heart was more painful than death itself. If living like this is worse than dying quickly.

  I thought I would spend the rest of my life like this, who would have thought that she also had a day to recover, and the excitement in her heart was unspeakable.

  "Son, you have to be good... thank Small White for me, if it wasn't for her, I wouldn't be here today..."

  Those who have never had this disease cannot feel the pain in the hearts of these patients.

  At this moment, Bai Wengui's position in the old lady's heart is no different from that of her reborn parents.

  Dai Mingquan was also truly moved at this moment. What is meant by "flowers bloom when you least expect it" and "willows grow shade without intention"? It was just a casual conversation with Bai Wenli that brought up this topic, but he didn't think that the other party would actually find him medicine to cure his mother's illness.

  What is a friend? Only such people can be considered true friends.

  "Mom, don't worry about it, Lao Bai is just like a brother to me. I'll deal with this matter slowly later."

  But all of this is for later.

  Bai Wengu and his younger brother had this meal together, also wanting to teach his younger brother a lesson. "Fourth Brother, I heard that you haven't been pulling your weight lately. People in our village who want to find you to do some work can't even see your shadow."

  "Big brother, who's spouting nonsense? I'm busy, can't be found when I'm out pulling in business - it happens all the time. Don't listen to their idle chatter, I've got my priorities straight and won't miss out on making money."

  Bai Wenli was just testing the waters, because he knew that his younger brother was not a good person and had some bad habits. He was worried that if his brother didn't change his ways, their family's fortunes would decline again. It hadn't been easy for them to get back on their feet, and Bai Wenli couldn't bear the thought of his brother causing more trouble, which would be too much for their family to handle.

  Hugging his younger brother's shoulder, "It's all right, Fourth Brother. When you have time, help your Third Brother take care of things at home more often. I'm busy too and can't always run over to check on the family orchard and the dozen stalls."

  "If you're not busy usually, go collect some animal hides and I'll help you sell them. You can also get some extra pocket money."

  Bai Wenshen listened to him and pouted, "Brother, I don't have your clever brain. I also can't speak the language of ethnic minorities. Don't cause any misunderstandings with others, that would be a big deal. I'll just stick to my own work."
