When Shen Wangxin brought the food over, she saw Chen Xian hurriedly come back into the house. Then it was Elder Chen's turn. He covered his stomach and came out of the room.

A thin layer of sweat appeared on both their foreheads. Their faces were sallow and sallow, and they were frowning in pain.

Old Chen saw that Shen Wangxin's attitude was normal, but Chen Xian looked at her and walked into the room with a dark face.

Shen Wangxin paused outside the door. After a moment of hesitation, she finally walked in. It was a good thing that the two sides of the front courtyard were filled with rooms. There was a small hall at the entrance, and there was one room on the left and one room on the right of the hall. Otherwise, Shen Wangxin wouldn't have dared to enter the man's bedroom.

She placed the dishes on the table in the middle of the hall. When she looked up, she saw that the Chen Family father and son's room was not closed. Chen Xian was leaning against the bed with his hands on his stomach.

Shen Wangxin called out to him for a while, but there was no response. She could only walk outside, just in time to run into Old Chen.

"Uncle Chen, have you eaten something bad?" She had left Elder Chen there at medical hall, mostly to control his diet. Now that she couldn't even control her diet, she let him have a stomachache, "It's all because of our negligence today. Actually, the dishes have already been prepared long ago, so it's normal for us to forget that it's already too late."

Elder Chen hurriedly said that it was alright. He took a glance at the room and said, "He's just a bookworm who has read too many books. He doesn't know his place!"

Shen Wangxin laughed, "Uncle Chen, what do you mean by that?" "We country bumpkins have a lot of people who don't know how to read and write. Which family doesn't have a scholar among them? How can anyone not be envious?"

His words caused Old Chen's face to brighten with a smile.

Seeing this, Shen Wangxin turned around and went into the medicine hall to get a pill for Old Chen. After a while, his frown disappeared.

He sighed and said, "You little rascal, you are so full of yourself that you didn't want to ask me about it. Seeing that I was so hungry, you came to my house and cooked me a pot of cabbage porridge." He had expected that after all these days of not coming home, the few cabbages had also gotten rotten, which was why he had a bad stomach. "His nature is good, so don't bother with him, Xin."

Shen Wangxin finally understood why Chen Xian would rather starve to that extent than cook for her. A normal person's meal was called rice, but a meal cooked by Chen Xian was like asking for a life! She sighed with emotion for a while, then said a few more words to Old Chen, telling him to give the medicine to Chen Xian before they went to the back yard.

She took this opportunity to take a look at the condition of the seedling.

A few days ago, most of the seeds she and Auntie Shen sown had grown. Now, the ground was filled with tender green seedlings, and their growth was very pleasant. At this time, the herb seedlings were not much different from vegetable seedlings. They were all thin stalks with two small leaves on them. If he waited a little longer, he would be able to tell the difference at a glance.

Shen Wangxin went back into the yard to get a bucket of water. She went to the stream beside the ground to get a bucket of water. As he was pouring water over it, he noticed a person standing on top of the ridge. It was unknown how long that person had been staring at him.

"Ah Xian? "Why are you here?" Shen Wangxin's expression remained the same, but Chen Xian's face was a little embarrassed.

Chen Xian had been rushed over by Old Chen to apologize to Shen Wangxin. He had been standing there staring at Shen Wangxin for a while now, but he couldn't say anything when he apologized. He had wanted to turn around and leave, but Shen Wangxin suddenly turned around and met his eyes.

These eyes were clear and bright, and there was not even a speck of impurity in them when they looked at him.

Chen Xian stood on the spot and endured. Finally, he said, "If you want to drive us away, just say it. Why do you need to use your mother to ruin our reputation?"

If Wu Jinhua was here, she would have surely rolled her eyes and scolded Chen Xian badly. These two men were actually worried that a woman like her would ruin their reputation. This was simply spitting on her face!

"I was inconsiderate when it came to this matter. I'm sorry." Shen Wangxin apologized sincerely and asked again, "When did I ever say I was going to kick you out? Not only is I not chasing you away, I still want to invite you to be the accountant for medical hall.

Chen Xian was stunned. He didn't expect Shen Wangxin to want to hire him.

He had come home from the county's library not only because of Old Chen's illness, but also because he had no knowledge of his own family. Ever since he was young, he knew that he wasn't a good student, but Zhang Cuihua had always forced him to go, so he could only force himself to study hard.

However, reading books was something that required talent. When he was young, he recited Tang poetry at home, reading those poems back and forth. In the end, he recited them even to Zhang Cuihua, but he still could not remember them.

For this, Zhang Cuihua had scolded him for being lazy. However, only he himself knew that his talent in studying was limited!

However, his long years of life in the academy made him unable to adapt to his life of working in the fields. His physique was weak to begin with, and now it was difficult for him to even lift a hoe, not to mention doing other manual labor.

"Do you really want me to use medical hall as my accounting office?" Chen Xian opened his eyes wide, he knew that in Xitou Village, there was nothing more suitable for him to do than this.

Actually, Shen Wangxin had already considered this matter for a long time. Once, she inadvertently discovered that Chen Xian was extremely sensitive to numbers. Even if he had not been trained specifically, his memory and mental arithmetic ability towards numbers was still something that was difficult for an average person to match.

This kind of person didn't want him to do business. It wasn't that he wanted to force him to study, but that he used it in the wrong place.

She nodded her head as she continuously watered the seedlings with her hand. "Of course, if your mother doesn't cause any more trouble when she comes back!"

Chen Xian's delicate face broke into a smile. He nodded at Shen Wangxin and said confidently: "That's easy! Last time I visited my mother in her cell, I told her what had happened. She regretted everything that had happened, and after she said it, she wanted to personally apologize to you. "Don't worry, she won't come looking for trouble with you anymore!"

It was naturally the best thing to wipe out grudges with a smile.

Shen Wangxin's watering movements also became a lot lighter. Finally, she thought for a while and said to Chen Xian, "But I have my requirements. I must give you a month of probation." If your performance this month is to my satisfaction, then I will officially hire you. "

Chen Xian knew Shen Wangxin's request was not excessive, so he agreed without thinking, "That's only natural."

"Alright, I'll give you 700 gold coins per month for the probation period. After I hire you, I'll pay you 1 tael of silver per month."

Seeing the astonishment on Chen Xian's face, Shen Wangxin explained, "You are a scholar after all, so you're only willing to be a small accountant?" You should be well aware of the situation in my medical hall, and right now, I am the only one truly unable to handle it. You still have to take care of other matters, I have not given you too much of this silver. "

Shen Wangxin paused, seeing that the expression on Chen Xian's face had returned to normal, she continued: "Moreover, my medical hall will have to go to the county city in the future. If you are truly a talent, then why do you have to lower yourself to others? "

With just this sentence, Chen Xian was completely clear about what was going on.

Although he did not usually have a human nature accident, he changed his words right away, "Thank you for your promotion, Manager. I will live up to your expectations!"

When Shen Wangxin heard him call her shopkeeper by his name, she only felt that it was a little awkward and immediately made him stop, saying, "Right now there are only a few of us so you should call me by my name. If you really want to call me shopkeeper, it won't be too late for me to open medical hall in the county! "
