Chapter 518 Zhang

"Hahaha, then we're going to have a good drink today."

Ze'er, the atmosphere team member, picked up the cup and said "Cheers!" just like her mother.

The others also showed their respect and clinked their glasses together. Everyone was very happy with the lunch, and Mu'er even threatened to drink pomegranate juice in the evening, and Xu Han also agreed with a good temper.

After Xu Han woke up from a nap in the afternoon, she planned to go to the fields to take a look. She had been busy with other things in the past two days and had not asked about the situation in the fields. It happened that she had nothing else to do this afternoon, so she took this time to go to the fields and take a look at how they were turning the soil.

As soon as she walked out of the yard, Xu Han found that the vegetable garden next to her had been plowed over and autumn vegetables, including radishes and cabbages, had been planted.

Seeing Zhou in the vegetable garden, Xu Han asked, "How is it going? Have you planted all the vegetables for winter?"

Zhou stood up straight and replied, "Madam, we have planted some new cabbages, radishes, and garlic these days. Now I am planting vegetables for winter. These are the seeds you gave me a few days ago. I don't know what they are, so I planted some of each."

The vegetable seeds that Xu Han gave to Zhou were from his previous life, including lettuce, romaine lettuce, Chinese cabbage, black and white cabbage, etc. These were all seeds that Xu Han had saved for himself in recent years.

Xu Han said, "I'm giving you green vegetables. When it gets cold and snowy, just cover them with tarpaulin and you'll have enough to eat until next spring. There are a lot of green vegetable seeds. When your vegetable garden blooms, you can take some back and plant some. It'll be nice to have them for next spring."

Zhou nodded and said, "My eldest daughter-in-law and eldest son are clearing a vegetable garden near their home. It will be finished in two days. It just so happens that we grew a lot of cabbage seedlings this year, and there are still quite a few left in the garden. We can plant them when the vegetable garden over there is finished."

Xu Han became interested when she heard this and said, "You plant it first, I'll go over and take a look."

After she finished speaking, she walked towards the valley. When she passed by the fields, she saw Zhu Qiang and others plowing the soil, and they were almost done. She didn't ask any questions and walked straight towards the valley.

When we got to this side of the valley, we saw Zhu Chunfeng and Zhu Chunsheng with their wives reclaiming wasteland. Ma Pozi, Zhao Pozi, Dan Niang and several young girls were all helping in the fields.

Xu Han looked at the place where they were going to clear the land and found that it was right next to the house. When the time came to enclose the yard, it would not interfere with the planting of vegetables and would not be a nuisance. The place was really well chosen.

The speed at which they were clearing the land was also very fast. In just one day, they had already cleared a large area of ​​land. With so many people, it should take less than two days to clear all of it.

Mrs. Li was the first to see Xu Han and said, "Madam, we are starting a vegetable garden. We are planning to expand the garden and grow more vegetables."

"Okay, let's open a bigger one so we can order more dishes. If there are too few of you, there won't be enough to eat."

After saying that, he turned around and said to Zhu Chunfeng, "I see there is still a lot of manure over there. You can take some people to pick some back later. The newly opened land still needs more manure, otherwise the land will not be strong and the vegetables will not grow well."

Zhu Chunfeng responded, "Hey, Madam, don't worry, I'll be there in a moment."

Xu Han lowered her head and glanced at Zhang who had been working. She was Zhu Chunsheng's wife, and the second daughter-in-law of the Zhu family. She spoke very little, but was very dedicated in her work and was also very perceptive.

Xu Han seldom heard him speak. Normally, she would just listen to others quietly. She had a completely different personality from the eldest daughter-in-law of the Zhu family, and it was easy for people to ignore her existence.

Xu Han suddenly remembered what Mrs. Zhao and the others had said during their previous casual chat, that Zhang was tortured by her stepmother when she was young, which left her with a chronic illness, and now it is difficult for her to get pregnant.

Zhang's life story is also very pitiful. Her mother died early, and after her father remarried, her stepmother treated her very badly, either beating and scolding her or not giving her food. Later, she even sold her directly.

His biological father did not care about this, but agreed to sell Zhang for a lot of money. Zhang's life experience was indeed pitiful.

But if we talk about people with miserable life experiences, how many of those who sold themselves into slavery had good life experiences? If their fathers loved them, they would not have been sold.

Fortunately, Zhang met a husband who treated her very well. After two or three years of marriage, Zhu Chunsheng never beat or scolded Zhang for not having children. On the contrary, their relationship was very good.

As her parents-in-law, Zhu Qiang and Zhou never treated their second daughter-in-law harshly because she was unable to have children. To be fair, it was definitely Zhang's luck to meet such a good husband's family in this era.

However, Zhang often felt guilty because her health had left her husband childless for so many years. She always felt that she owed the Zhu family and her husband.

So she has always been a transparent person and never dared to speak easily. Her family also knew Zhang's situation, and Zhou and Li Dasao, who were also women, were particularly concerned about her emotions.

The whole family is trying their best to save money so that they can take Zhang to the clinic to see a doctor one day and get some good treatment.

Xu Han heard about this from Mrs. Ma a few days ago. At that time, Xu Han wanted to ask Grandpa Zhao to check Zhang's pulse, but because he was busy with the Mid-Autumn Festival, he didn't have time. He only remembered it when he saw Zhang.

So Xu Han said, "Ms. Zhang, I heard that you are not in good health. Grandpa Zhao happens to be a miracle doctor. When you are free this evening, go to the old house and let Grandpa Zhao take your pulse."

Zhang was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and Zhu Chunsheng beside her was also stunned. Finally, it was Mrs. Zhao who reminded them, "Why, you two are so happy, why don't you thank the lady quickly."

The two came to their senses after seeing this. They were so happy that they didn't know whether to cry or laugh. They knelt down and kowtowed to Xu Han, saying, "Thank you, madam. Thank you, madam."

Xu Han dodged to the side, then pulled the two of them up and said, "Don't be in a hurry to thank me. We have to wait until Grandpa Zhao finishes taking your pulse."

Zhu Chunsheng said, "Madam, we believe you. Since you said that Grandpa Zhao is a miracle doctor, his medical skills must be good. If Grandpa Zhao said that my wife would never get pregnant in this lifetime, then we would give up the idea. At least we would not keep seeking medical treatment and wasting money."

Xu Han said, "Grandpa Zhao's medical skills are beyond reproach. He is absolutely amazing. He used to treat some wealthy families in the capital and has a great reputation. I don't know the details. I still have to see what Grandpa Zhao says when the time comes."

The two expressed their understanding, and the whole family thanked them again. Finally, Xu Han couldn't stand it anymore and quickly slipped back home.
