Chapter 61 As long as I have peace of mind.
Yunyi hadn't originally planned to eat at Zhao Dazhuang's house, since food was precious for every household at this time. However, Dazhuang's mother was so hospitable that she insisted on having a meal with her before leaving, and even brought out some eggs and a piece of cured meat that she had stored at home.
Stir-frying already existed in this era, but it wasn't yet common in ordinary households, since stir-frying required an iron wok and oil, which cost money.
Therefore, most of the dishes are stir-fried in restaurants, while ordinary people cook rice at home.
She really couldn't accept the idea of cutting cured meat into chunks, putting it in a pot with potatoes and water, and maybe adding a little salt.
“Girl, don’t refuse. It’s already this late. My mother has already started cooking. Even if you leave now, you won’t get back to town until the afternoon.” Zhao Dazhuang scratched his head. “Besides, you’ve already given her money.”
Yunyi stopped being coy and even went over to help start a fire.
"Auntie, if you trust me, I'll take your pulse after dinner." Yunyi noticed that Zhao Dazhuang's mother coughed occasionally, and although she said it was because she had caught a cold, it didn't seem like it.
"Young lady, you also know medicine?" Zhao Dazhuang was taken aback.
"know a little."
"That will be very troublesome." Da Zhuang's mother was very happy and took out two more eggs to boil.
Because it was summer, we set up a small table in the yard and ate on small stools.
"There's nothing fancy at home, please don't be shy," Da Zhuang's mother greeted Yun Yi, then warmly served her some food.
"Thank you, Auntie, I've had enough." Yunyi accepted the food offered by the other woman once, then waved her hand to refuse. Although it was a bit pretentious, she really couldn't eat any more food after the other woman had just smacked her lips with her chopsticks. "Give it to Dazhuang, he works a lot, he should eat more."
"Hey." Only then did Dazhuang's mother turn around and put the food into Dazhuang's bowl.
After the meal, Yunyi helped Dazhuang's mother take her pulse, and then examined her tongue coating: "Auntie, do you often feel weak and short of breath, feel cold, have cold hands and feet, and sweat involuntarily?"
“Yes.” Madam Dazhuang nodded. “She had taken medicine before, but it didn’t help.”
"The doctor said you had Yin deficiency, right?"
Da Zhuang's mother nodded again.
"Actually, you have Yang deficiency." Yunyi smiled. "I'll prescribe new medicine for you later. Take two doses and see how it goes." This person has been ill for a long time, which has damaged his Yang energy. If he continues to be treated as if he has Yin deficiency, his condition will naturally get worse and worse.
"Oh, thank you, young lady. Your name is Yunyi, right? Can I call you Yiyi from now on?"
“Okay.” Yunyi nodded. As long as she wasn’t called “boss,” she didn’t care what she was called.
"Thank you, Yiyi. You are truly a benefactor to our family. Dazhuang said that if it weren't for you, he wouldn't have been able to save enough money. Although it didn't work out, but..." Dazhuang's mother sighed, "It's just that this boy is already twenty-two. If he doesn't get married soon, what girl will be willing to be with him in the future?"
"Auntie, it's not your time yet, no rush." Yunyi didn't want to judge other people's private affairs.
"You're right," Da Zhuang's mother could only nod in agreement.
Yunyi needed to write a prescription, but there was paper at home but no pen. In the end, she could only use a stick from a fire as a charcoal pencil. After writing it down, she handed it to Zhao Dazhuang: "You can go to Xue's Medical Clinic to get the medicine. Their herbs are cheaper. This is two doses. One dose should be taken for two days, fifteen minutes after breakfast and dinner..."
"Okay, thank you." Zhao Dazhuang's eyes welled up with tears. After his father died, his mother's health deteriorated, and as her son, he felt deeply guilty. If he hadn't been so fixated on Wu Cuicui, perhaps...
Yunyi could naturally see what the other person was thinking, but she didn't say anything. Some things she needed to figure out herself.
"Dazhuang, go to the back room and call your third uncle's oxcart," Dazhuang's mother reminded him.
Zhao Dazhuang snapped out of his daze and took Yunyi out the door.
"Brother Dazhuang." Just as they reached the alley entrance, Wu Cuicui, looking grief-stricken, ran over.
"Cuicui, is something wrong?" Zhao Dazhuang frowned.
"Who is she?" Wu Cuicui suddenly pointed at Yun Yi, her previous sorrow instantly turning into indignation.
Yunyi was taken aback. Was he treating her as a rival in love?
"It's none of your business. Go away and don't come looking for me again." Zhao Dazhuang's tone was cold. "We have nothing to do with each other anymore." Although they both lived in Zhao Family Village, the two families were actually quite far apart. One was on the west side of the village, and the other was on the southeast side. In the past, they had to cross most of the village to meet. If they didn't want to see each other, they could never see each other again.
“Brother Dazhuang, how could you say that?” Wu Cuicui’s eyes welled up with tears. “We’ve had such a long relationship… and you’re going to disregard it all for an outsider?” She glared at Yun Yi as she spoke. “Are you only after her looks? But do you even know her? Besides, what good is good looks? With that small frame, can she even have a son?”
Yunyi: ...
How did this turn into a sarcastic remark about her?
"Miss Wu Cuicui, please don't drag me into this. As for sons, I have... four sons, and I also have three daughters. So, the issue of having sons that you mentioned is not a problem at all." Yun Yi was a little smug. Look, although they weren't her children, they all called her "Mom." When she produced a whole bunch of them, it would be quite a sight. At least it would definitely shut Wu Cuicui up. She would be so envious.
“You…” Wu Cuicui was stunned.
Zhao Dazhuang was also somewhat surprised. This Miss Yun didn't look like she was even of marriageable age yet, right? She was already married?
"And also, don't drag others into your own problems." Yunyi looked at the girl with some helplessness. "In this world, everything has a cause and effect; you reap what you sow." Believing that saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda, she decided to offer a few words of advice: "You originally had good fortune, but good fortune needs to be protected. Now, because of momentary greed, you've destroyed your original blessings, and in the future..."
Saying it's utterly hopeless would be an exaggeration, but there will always be a day when you regret it.
A hint of guilt flashed in Wu Cuicui's eyes, but it was quickly replaced by impatience. She interrupted Yun Yi directly: "Do you think you're a god? Blessing karma and causing good fortune? If you have that ability, why don't you go to Jin Guang Temple and become a master? Why be a peasant?"
Yunyi smiled. It's hard to persuade a damned ghost with kind words. She had done her best. She had spent tens of thousands of years cultivating mystical arts. Whether it was Yin-Yang Bagua or divination, she wanted to glimpse the secrets of heaven. For this, she had to pay a price. The five deficiencies and three lacks, cause and effect, and retribution were all obvious.
Therefore, practitioners emphasize cultivating good karma and accumulating merit in order to compensate for the harm caused by the five deficiencies and three lacks.
Although she doesn't work as a fortune teller in this world, she can't just stand by and watch someone die.
If they don't appreciate it, then whatever happens in the future won't involve her; the main thing is to put her mind at ease.
