Of course, Su Yuniang had to bargain.
In the end, Su Xiaoxiao returned valiantly with the high consultation fee of five taels of silver.
Other than Su Yuniang, the expressions of the Su family were not good.
It had to be known that they had only given Doctor Zhang two taels.
It was originally five taels, but they took back three taels.
Doctor Zhang was a doctor of Rong’en Hall and had also come from town. Who was Fatty Su? She was just a little girl from the village. How could she demand a consultation after taking a few steps?
However, Su Yuniang said, “Isn’t my life worth these few taels of silver?”
Su Yuniang paid the consultation fee and did not let the Su family pay for Madam Fang’s share.
After a daughter got married, she was no longer considered family. Some accounts were calculated clearly. This made her feel disappointed and helpless. Thinking that Su Xiaoxiao was also married, but there was no barrier between her and her family, Su Yuniang felt envious from the bottom of her heart.
Madam Fang carried a bowl of boiled brown sugar millet porridge into the room. This was cooked according to the prescription left behind by Fatty Su. She did not put too much brown sugar.
Su Yuniang was reading the prescription written by Fatty Su. There were actually only a few words on the prescription, and they was crooked. The cooking method was mainly dictated by Fatty Su.
She seriously suspected that Fatty Su just wanted to legitimately extort the consultation fee.
She married into Shallow Water Village and had a scholar at home. She barely recognized a few words, but she didn’t know how to write.
Fatty Su actually knew how to write.
Su Jinniang frowned. The last time Fatty Su read the couplet, the villagers had already seen her in a different light. If the villagers knew that she could write...
How did Fatty Su know how to write? Su Jinniang felt suffocated.
Madam Fang did not have much of a reaction. Fatty Su had honed many abilities, so it was not strange for her to acquire another one.
What really puzzled her was whether Yuniang should drink more brown sugar water after giving birth. However, Fatty Su said that it wasn’t good to consume too much sugar.
“Only a spoonful of sugar. Do you think it’s bland?” Madam Fang scooped a spoonful and fed it to Su Yuniang.
Su Yuniang took a sip. It tasted alright. “I’ll do it myself.”
“Are you really not going to add any sugar?” Madam Fang asked.
“Didn’t Fatty say that to only put a spoonful of sugar?” Su Yu’niang lowered her head and drank a bowl of brown sugar millet porridge. It was boiled according to Fatty Su’s instructions. It was not that sweet and was very suitable for her current appetite.
Mdm Fang recalled what happened just now and was still in disbelief. “What do you think happened to Fatty? She has changed so much.”
“Didn’t they say that she married a good husband?” Su Yuniang handed the empty bowl to her mother and wiped her mouth with a handkerchief.
She recalled the time she had only been married to a “big family” for a few days, but the rules were already different from before.
Su Yuniang said, “She’s willing to learn from her husband. What in the world is unchanging?”
Su Jinniang muttered, “Sister, that’s not what you said just now...”
Su Yuniang glared at her. “I almost died just now!”
Su Jinniang choked.
In the beginning, Su Yuniang looked down on Fatty Su and refused to let her treat her. It was because Fatty Su had a bad reputation. When she was young, she had even fought with her. There was no doubt that she had lost.
She had experienced Fatty Su’s evilness.
However, just now, she had personally experienced Fatty Su’s kindness.
Since that girl had really changed her personality and was really capable, she, Su Yu’niang, could let go!
The grudge between her and Fatty Su was over. From now on, she would no longer have any prejudice against Fatty Su.
As for Su Ergou and Father Su, she temporarily retained her original opinion. They were two bullies!
Su Yuniang looked at her sister indifferently. “You were supposed to take care of the child. Why do you keep staying at home?”
Madam Fang sighed. “Forget it. I’ll go later. Jinniang will take care of you at home.”
With that, Madam Fang carried the empty bowl out.
Su Jinniang sat down silently by the bed.
“Sis.”
“If you have something to say, say it.”
Su Yuniang was so tired that she wanted to sleep.
Su Jin’s mother whispered, “Can you... tell Grandpa not to let me marry Scholar Chen?”
Su Yuniang said, “Why? Is a scholar not worthy of you?”
Su Jin’s mother complained, “You don’t know how ugly the Chen family... was in the village on New Year’s Eve.”
Su Yuniang said coldly, “Even if it’s ugly, we have agreed to this marriage!”
Su Jinniang bit her lip. “I don’t want to marry so far away. It’s... our village is quite good. I can come back more often to show my filial piety to my grandparents.”
Su Yuniang said bluntly, “Su Jinniang, I understand what you’re thinking. I advise you to give up! I won’t help you!”
Su Jinniang felt wronged. “You’re my sister. Why won’t you help me?”
