Chapter 79: Chapter 79: Selling Prescriptions

The two of them guessed correctly. The next day, Mrs. Wang again forced Zhao Qiu to ask Zhao Dong for the recipe.

However, this time, no matter what Mrs. Wang said, Zhao Qiu refused to go. Mrs. Wang was so furious that she gave him a harsh scolding and beating before storming back into her room.

When Zhao Dong’s family saw Zhao Qiu again, his face was deathly pale, and he looked much weaker than before. He had come to see Sun Kang, who was staying at Zhao Dong’s Residence.

At that moment, Sun Kang was correcting Zhao Zhitong’s homework.

Zhao Dong was startled when he first saw Zhao Qiu’s condition and quickly asked, "Little brother, what happened to you?"

Seeing his Brother’s concerned expression, Zhao Qiu couldn’t hold back his tears and started crying. "Brother, my wife, please save my wife. She suddenly fainted today, and there was blood."

It turned out that he had gone to the fields to work that day. When he came back, he found his wife’s face very pale. Then, after dinner, she suddenly fainted, and there was blood. He was terrified.

He ran to Sun Village to find Sun Kang, only to be told that Sun Kang had just gone to his Brother’s house. So, he hurriedly rushed over.

Since it was a matter of life and death, Sun Kang didn’t hesitate and immediately followed Zhao Qiu back to his house.

Zhao Zhitong and Sun Mei also followed.

When they arrived, Zhao Qiu took Sun Kang directly into the room. Sun Jin had already woken up by then, but her face was pale, and she lay weakly on the bed.

Sun Kang took out a handkerchief, placed it on Sun Jin’s wrist, and sat down to start checking her pulse.

Sun Mei and Zhao Zhitong stood at the entrance. Their courtyard was very quiet. Mrs. Wang’s room was tightly closed, even the lamp wasn’t lit, and there wasn’t a sound.

Zhao Zhitong was watching Sun Kang attentively checking the pulse, her eyes gleaming as if stars were about to burst out.

Soon, Sun Kang put away the handkerchief and stood up.

Zhao Qiu rushed forward, anxiously asking, "Uncle Sun, what happened to my wife? Is she okay?"

Sun Kang spoke, "It’s actually good news. Your wife is pregnant."

On hearing this, Zhao Qiu was stunned for a long while before he reacted. Then he was overjoyed, but soon worry set in. "Uncle Sun, is it... is the child not well?"

Sun Kang nodded. "Yes. She has only been pregnant for a little over a month, which is the most vulnerable time for the fetus. However, your wife’s body is too weak, and she has been overworked, so now she shows signs of a probable miscarriage."

Zhao Qiu became anxious and hurriedly asked, "Can... can the baby still be saved?"

He and his wife had been married for several years and hadn’t had any children. Now that they finally had a child, if they couldn’t keep it, he...

Thinking of this, Zhao Qiu’s face was filled with regret and guilt. He should not have left his wife alone at home.

After sitting down at a table and chair in the room, Sun Kang spoke, "I’ll first give you a prescription to nourish the fetus. Follow it and get some medicine for your wife. Take good care of her, don’t let her overwork, and the child can still be saved."

Upon hearing that the child could still be saved, Zhao Qiu breathed a sigh of relief and said gratefully, "Thank you, Uncle Sun, thank you."

At this time, Sun Jin, who was on the bed, touched her belly, tears swirling in her eyes.

Sun Mei stepped forward to comfort her, telling her to take good care of herself. "Don’t worry too much. Just focus on recuperating for a while. After the baby is born, good days will come."

Sun Jin nodded with tears in her eyes. "Thank you, Sister-in-law."

Even after the diagnosis was finished and Zhao Qiu sent them off, Mrs. Wang’s room remained closed and very quiet.

Sun Mei then speculated that Sun Jin’s sudden bleeding today must have something to do with Mrs. Wang.

Sun Mei’s speculation was correct; it was indeed because of Mrs. Wang. Since she couldn’t get the tofu recipe, she had vented her anger on Sun Jin.

After Zhao Qiu left home to work in the fields, she began ordering Sun Jin to do this and that, not giving her a moment’s rest. If any task was done poorly, a slap would land on her face.

Finally, when Sun Jin told Mrs. Wang that she wasn’t feeling well and had a stomachache, Mrs. Wang didn’t listen, which led to Sun Jin’s sudden fainting and bleeding.

Zhao Zhitong, of course, didn’t understand these complicated matters. Her mind was currently full of the scene of her grandfather taking the pulse just now, and she was pestering her grandfather to teach her.

Zhao Zhitong asked, "Grandfather, when can I start learning how to diagnose a pulse?"

Sun Kang laughed. "No rush, no rush. First, memorize all of "Essence of Medicinal Properties" thoroughly, then we’ll talk."

Zhao Zhitong pouted, looking extremely proud. "Grandfather, I can now recite all the cold and hot-natured medicines. Don’t worry, I’ll be able to recite the entire book soon."

Sun Kang praised her with a smile, "Good, good, that’s excellent. You’re a very hardworking young girl."

The three of them chatted as they headed home. By the time they arrived, the meal was almost cold. The two aunts warmed up the dishes again, and then everyone began to eat.

Because Sun Jin was pregnant and had almost miscarried, Zhao Qiu had a big fight with Mrs. Wang. After that, Mrs. Wang behaved herself for a while and didn’t come to ask Zhao Dong for the recipe anymore.

「In the blink of an eye, the autumn harvest arrived.」

Now, every household started preparing to harvest grain, so no villagers came to get tofu to sell.

As a result, they only made tofu for Wang Dachui at the county town’s oil shop, and the tofu for Lord Fang at the marketplace. Consequently, the quantity was not as large.

Besides, Sun Kang’s family also had to harvest grain, so Zhao Dong told his two brothers-in-law not to come and help anymore; just Second Aunt coming would be sufficient.

Although the quantity of tofu was less than before, Wang Dachui, the oil shopkeeper in the county town, still sold quite a bit. He could sell two to three hundred jin of tofu and tofu a day, and the income was still stable.

However, the good times didn’t last long. Before long, when Wang Dachui came to get tofu, he mentioned that someone in the county town had imitated their tofu.

To compete with him, they even slashed prices, selling tofu for two coins a piece. As a result, his business was being stolen. Therefore, he wanted to ask Zhao Dong if he could give him a discount.

Their tofu being imitated was something Zhao Dong had anticipated; it was only a matter of time. However, he didn’t agree with engaging in a price war.

First, lowering the price would mean little profit. Second, if the price was lowered, customers who had bought tofu before would feel cheated, which was not conducive to long-term business.

Luckily, they still had tofu and Stinky Tofu. Sun Mei’s secret sauce and the Stinky Tofu couldn’t be replicated by others. So, people who loved tofu and Stinky Tofu would still buy from them.

This actually allowed Wang Dachui to reclaim some business, but it wasn’t as good as before. He could only sell about a hundred jin a day at most, which was much less than previously.

However, because Zhao Dong’s family also needed to harvest grain and was very busy recently, they didn’t pay much attention to it.

However, one day, the boss of Guang Ju Restaurant from the marketplace came looking for them.

After meeting Zhao Dong, he immediately explained his reason for coming with a grin. It turned out that he wanted to buy the recipes for the Stinky Tofu and the tofu sauce.

"For one recipe, I’m willing to pay fifty taels of coin money. For an ordinary recipe, I only offer thirty silver coins. However, after you sell it to me, you cannot sell it to anyone else. Will you consider it?"
