Chapter 172: Chapter 172: Following Third Brother

Yun Xiaoxiao thought for a moment before explaining, "Joint pain, especially in the winter, feels like there are cold winds blowing right through the bones, but warming up a bit can help ease the pain."

Joint pain?

"My grandma suffers from it, too. I sleep with her at night, and she’s in so much pain that she can hardly sleep. Since my brother has left, I want to go to the town to buy her some medicine."

Rheumatism, a chronic condition, isn’t something that can be easily cured.

"I have some medicinal plasters here that can relieve pain. Wait here, I’ll go get them."

Medicinal plasters?

Yun Xiaoxiao immediately ordered some Yunnan Baiyao plaster patches from the internet, tore off the outer packaging to reveal the medicated plaster inside.

"Sorry for the wait, I searched for quite a while to find this plaster. Before going to bed, soak your feet in hot water and then apply a hot towel to the sore area. You can also apply a hot towel before affixing the plaster, to dry the area; otherwise, the plaster won’t stick because of the moisture. Tear off this..."

As she spoke, Yun Xiaoxiao showed Fang Meiyun how to tear off the plaster.

"Sister-in-law, how much is this?"

Fang Meiyun felt certain this item would not be cheap, and she also detected a strong medicinal scent.

"There’s no charge. I haven’t used it, and its effectiveness is surely halved by now."

Free of charge?

"Hurry up and take it back to apply on your grandma."

Fang Meiyun felt sorry for her grandma, who was in so much pain, but the family situation had improved from a few years back when they were so poor they could only afford one meal a day and would wake up hungry in the middle of the night.

Now that they had some money, the collective farm also distributed a good amount of grain, and her brother had bought back quite a bit from outside as well.

"Then sister-in-law, I’ll head back now."

As soon as Fang Meiyun got home, she hurried to boil some hot water for her grandma to soak her feet, and applied the plaster on her knee with practiced moves, so swiftly that Grandma Fang hardly had time to react.

"Xiao Yun, what are you doing?"

Only then did Fang Meiyun start to relate to her everything Yun Xiaoxiao had told her.

"A medicinal plaster?"

Fang Meiyun nodded, "Yes, sister-in-law said it won’t hurt as much with this on, and she didn’t charge anything for it."

After drying the area with the cloth, she carefully affixed the plaster onto Grandma Fang’s knee.

"Grandma, how does it feel?"

Grandma Fang stared at the plaster on her knee, "It hurts a bit, but there’s also a warm feeling, like something is burrowing into my bones....."

Is it taking effect?

It really might be working.

With ten patches of plaster, they could apply it five times.

Fang Meiyun, worried that the efficacy would evaporate, wrapped them up tightly in newspaper to store them away.

.......

"Third Brother, we’ve got the goods. As long as we sell these, we’ll make a fortune," Zhao Tianhe’s eyes sparkled with anticipation.

This time, Third Brother must have brought all the money from home!

With more money, they could buy more stock, and the prices were even more affordable.

"We’ll sell them in another city to make the difference."

Only then could they earn more.

"All of you be careful, especially Da Li. Talk less, do more work. After the New Year, there won’t be time to come out, as I’ll have to follow my wife when she gets accepted to university next year."

"Third Brother, I’ll come with you when the time comes," Zhao Tianhe immediately said. Since he was single, if Third Brother left the village, he could follow.

Fang Chaoyang couldn’t make such a decision as easily as Zhao Tianhe could.

He had his grandma and sister to think about.

As for Cao Dali, "I’ll go wherever Third Brother goes."

After all, with his simple mind, he could only earn work points by farming the land, and that wasn’t profitable.

"It’s too early to talk about this now. We’ll discuss the details when the time comes," Zhao Tianlei took control of the situation. With the outside world being more open, the authorities were no longer pursuing them for trying to make opportunistic transactions.
