Chapter 286: Chapter 286

Cai Meina looked at the gold ingots and silver ingots on the kang, her eyes were shining.

"So much stuff." Cai Meina had heard from Gong Tao before that, besides discovering a hot spring this time, they really hadn’t gained anything.

Later, when she found out there was a bit of income, she relaxed a little, at least her daughter wouldn’t be disappointed. She didn’t expect the gains to be this much, which shocked Cai Meina.

Weren’t they saying there wasn’t much? Cai Meina looked at Gong Tao with suspicion, "You didn’t pocket Ni Zi’s share, did you?"

If that were the case, it would be a bit excessive, considering it was Ni Zi’s luck that brought this wealth.

Seeing his own wife’s untrusting look made Gong Tao feel quite hurt, "Wife, how could you think of me like that."

"Do you think I’m the kind of person who covets money?"

"These are our three shares." Gong Tao didn’t know if there was anything else in the cave, but even this small gain was enough to delight him.

"It’s not good to divide them today. Tomorrow, when Ni Zi comes, I’ll talk with her." These things were nice, but compared to what they discovered, that was what really excited Gong Tao.

Is there a need to talk to Ni Zi just to divide this little bit of stuff? Why make things so serious, Cai Meina was a bit confused about the situation.

"We found something good, but we need to see specifically." He didn’t know what it was, but just based on its appearance which was similar to the previous box, Gong Tao felt there must be something inside.

If he weren’t worried about revealing the secret in front of the children, Gong Tao would have already shown off a little.

Something good? For her husband to call it good stuff, it should be even more valuable and better than these ingots, which made Cai Meina feel restless like a cat being scratched.

But no matter how much Cai Meina pressed, Gong Tao refused to reveal what the good thing was.

Which made Cai Meina furious, and at night she turned her back coldly on Gong Tao, hmph, let him show off, let him not reveal the secret, leave him to marinate.

Gong Tao also regretted it, regretting how he couldn’t hold back, knowing well his wife was curious, why couldn’t he hold his tongue.

Gong Tao wanted to cuddle his wife, but was hindered by his own injuries, sigh, right, how foolish he was, "Ouch, ouch."

Cai Meina assumed Gong Tao was acting and ignored him at first, but as his cries grew in pain, Cai Meina became anxious, "What’s wrong, what’s wrong."

Gong Tao was acting at first, but later the pain became real, "Wife, my waist, ah." Chapters fırst released on Novᴇl_Fire(.)net

"And here on my shoulder."

What, the man was hurt? He didn’t look like he was pretending, which made Cai Meina worried, she lifted his clothes and saw bruises on his waist, and even worse bruises and scratches on his shoulder, hmph, putting on a brave front.

Cai Meina climbed off the kang and went outside, which made Gong Tao anxious. Was his wife angry?

The problem was, he wanted to stop her, but couldn’t physically.

"I’m going to find Zhan Jing to get some ointment." Clearly not feeling well but insisting on toughing it out, a classic case of saving face at the expense of suffering.

She went to get ointment, which made Gong Tao sigh a breath of relief.

Before long, he saw his wife returning with several sheets of ointment, but the smell was so overpowering he had to back away, "The smell is strong."

If he applied this ointment on his body, could he still go out during the day?

"That strong smell is good, it’s pure Black Ointment, not like the stuff sold outside that who-knows-what-kind-of-thing." Nowadays many good ointments have been ruined by some people trying to save costs, luckily we have traditional Chinese medicine here, making truly good ointments.

Black Ointment? "Is it Shiyu Hall’s Black Ointment?" If he hadn’t seen this ointment, Gong Tao really wouldn’t have thought of it, but seeing it today made him smile.

"Whenever grandpa sprained anything while working, he’d go to Shiyu Hall to buy some Black Ointment to apply, I think it even had scorpions and black snakes in it." Due to the long time, Gong Tao had forgotten what was inside, but the formula used many precious Chinese medicines, of course, the effect was one of excellence.

"It’s Shiyu Hall’s Black Ointment, this is even better than the ones we buy from the store." I must say, as the only daughter of the former owner of Shiyu Hall, she makes excellent Black Ointment.

"Wife, rest assured, with a few applications of this, the effect is definitely good." To be able to apply ointment with the hometown flavor in the distant Northeast is not easy.

"By the way, wife, this ointment is effective for menstrual pain, you can use it too." Although my wife is already adjusting her body now, with such a good ointment, of course, it can’t be missed, and it should be a dual approach.

Ah, applying this ointment to her belly? Cai Meina waved her hands, indicating she’d rather not, she’s healthy, why apply the stuff, can’t go out smelling medicinal all over.

"Apply it, every time your body hurts, it’s not good for your health." Seeing there was enough ointment, Gong Tao didn’t take no for an answer and applied it to his wife’s navel.

Cai Meina couldn’t stop him in time, having let him get away with it, seeing the Black Ointment already applied, she couldn’t just peel it off, how wasteful would that be.

Cai Meina had heard before that Shiyu Hall’s Black Ointment was good, but had never used it. Expensive ointment, her family would never bear to buy it for her, so she didn’t know why it was so good.

After helping Gong Tao apply the ointment and lying in bed for a while, she felt warm in her navel, making her uterus feel cozy and comfortable, comfortable enough to make Cai Meina want to hum aloud.

Gong Tao gradually lowered his groaning, although there was still some pain, it was much better than before, and whether it was his waist or shoulder, they felt warm, and before long he fell into a deep sleep.

Zhao Gang was also lying comfortably on the kang with ointment applied, "Wife, it’s been a long time since I’ve seen you make ointment." When was the last time his wife made ointment, Zhao Gang had already forgotten.

"Need to have the materials, you think these materials come free, if you all hadn’t caught a few black snakes by chance and brought them home, I wouldn’t have made it, right, remember to get me some black snakes and scorpions after the spring." Our Black Ointment relies on these main ingredients.

"I was also worried that with time my skills would slip and I would forget how to make Black Ointment, so I made some while I had the materials." Now it seems the skills haven’t regressed, which made me sigh in relief.

It’s a pity that such good ointment cannot be openly used, because it was said back then that the ointment formula had been lost, and a different formula had been submitted.

Zhan Jing still remembers when her own old man passed, holding her hand with eyes that wouldn’t close, all because of thoughts about Shiyu Hall.

"If there is a chance, we must raise the Shiyu Hall sign again, and extend the Black Ointment far and wide." Good things cannot be given to others to use, Zhao Gang thought it wasn’t a pleasant feeling, but as long as his wife remembered the formula, Zhao Gang had confidence they would wait for the day it could be promoted.
