Auntie Liu's face was full of worry as she spoke.
People in the countryside were most afraid of getting sick. A minor illness was enough for their family to suffer, let alone a serious illness.
Basically, they could casually take a few medicines and it would cost a few hundred copper coins. Who could afford to pay a few hundred taels of silver for a serious illness?
The short lifespan of the ancient people was not only related to diet. Sometimes, when they encountered such a serious illness and had no money to treat it, they would simply not treat it and let it die naturally.
Uncle Liu was only in his fifties and was not old. At home, he could help with a lot of farm work. Sometimes, he could even go to the town and sell some small things in the city to earn some money.
If Uncle Liu passed away, there would be one less man in the family and life would be much harder.
Uncle Liu and Auntie Liu had a good relationship and the family was harmonious. Putting that aside, as a family member, they naturally could not bear to see a member of the family die.
As Auntie Liu spoke, she sighed again. "My old man is lying in bed. At night, he's complaining that his body hurts. I'm afraid that if I don't take him to the city for treatment, he won't be able to hold on much longer. Seeing him in pain at night, I don't feel good in my heart … "
Zhao Yun 'er could understand Auntie Liu's feelings, but she did not know how to comfort her.
Auntie Liu's family had a few mu of land. If they sold it, they could get some money.
However, if the villagers lost their land, their family would not be able to live anymore. Although she was helpless, after weighing the pros and cons, she could only endure the pain and not treat Uncle Liu.
Therefore, at present, only money could help Auntie Liu.
Zhao Yun 'er thought about it and came up with a solution.
"Auntie Liu, can Brother Shanzi and Brother Muzi spare some time?"
Auntie Liu asked curiously, "Yun 'er, what's wrong?"
Zhao Yun 'er did not hide anything in front of Auntie Liu. Instead, she told Auntie Liu about her method of making money.
Auntie Liu knew that bullfrogs could be sold at such a high price and was very surprised. However, she did not doubt Zhao Yun 'er.
Auntie Liu thought for a while. Zhao Yun 'er could afford to buy such good clothes for Doudou, so she really made money.
"Auntie Liu, this thing sells well and the restaurant buys a lot of them. We can't catch much of them in our village every day. If Brother Shanzi or Muzi have time, you can help me collect some of them from the surrounding villages and I'll send them to the restaurant.. When the time comes, we'll split the money they earn from the bullfrogs fifty-fifty. This way, I can also save some money to treat Uncle Liu as soon as possible. "

"Little Yun 'er, it's been a little busy recently. Let Mu Zi handle the work in the fields alone. Later on, we women can also work in the fields. Let Shan Zi go to other villages to collect the crops. .....................
. "" It's okay, Auntie Liu. If you don't help me collect them, I won't have the time to go there myself and I won't be able to earn the money. I can get 50% more. It's free. I should be grateful to you. "Zhao Yun 'er said.
