Chapter 123: Eunuch
What surprised Jiang Qiao was not that the old man was sick, but that the old man lying on the hospital bed in front of him turned out to be a eunuch, yes, it was a eunuch, and she still had this eyesight.
Especially hearing the voice of the old man speak, it proves her judgment even more.
Ma Liu opened his eyes, a little confused, he thought that he had already arrived in the underworld, but how could he see a familiar person in front of him?
"Brother Qiao, why are you here, hehe, too, you are so old, if you don't see each other here, where else can you meet. β
Qiao Jie glared at him, "Talking nonsense, let's both live well, girl, bring him water to drink first, then go boil water, cook, and bathe him." β
Jiang Qiao hurriedly fed the water in the kettle to the old man, and it was not too dirty and smelly, this situation, she can understand, you said that an old eunuch has no children, where to find someone to serve him, he may have been beautiful when he was young, but the evening scene is bleak.
"Grandpa Liuzi, drink slowly, I'll boil water for you to bathe in a while, don't worry, I'll cook the rice." β
Ma Liu's appearance of drinking water is estimated to be thirsty for a long time, and he feels as if he is robbing with someone.
"Slow down, the water is there, you want to drink, I'll feed you every day-"
The old man felt sorry for his childhood friend, if it wasn't for the help of his six sons, where would he have been able to buy a house and settle down in that county.
Seeing his brother's miserable appearance, he was angry, "What's the matter with you, what about your adopted son? Why doesn't he care about you?"
Ma Liu, who came to breathe a sigh, let out a long sigh, tears came down his cheeks, "Brother Qiao, don't mention that little beast to me, I raised him to adulthood, married his daughter-in-law and settled down, but he calculated that I came, and the family's money was taken away by him, and I was completely ignored by the old immortal, and the neighbors looked at me pitiful and sent me something to eat, otherwise, I would have died a long time agoββ"
Qiao Jie and Jiang Qiao didn't have time to talk to him about family affairs, Jiang Qiao went to boil water, and the old man looked for something, but he didn't find a decent piece of clothing when he walked around.
"This little brute, take away your good clothes and bedding. β
He could only take out his clothes, Jiang Qiao got the water here and helped the old man take a bath for Ma Liu.
The old man was still embarrassed, Qiao Jie glared, "You just treat my granddaughter as your own granddaughter, you are like this, what are you embarrassed about, I am so old, can I move you? Hurry up, don't freeze." β
Seeing Jiang Qiao, Ma Liu couldn't hold back his tears, and wept while washing, until Jiang Qiao and Qiao Jie washed him clean, put on new clothes inside and out, and let Jiang Qiao change the bedding and use what they brought themselves.
Qiao Jie didn't have time to ask, so he checked his brother's pulse first, "Grandpa Qiao, what's the situation with Grandpa Liuzi, has he had a stroke?"
Qiao Jie sighed and nodded, "I'll give him a needle first, girl, according to the prescription I gave you, you go and grab the medicine, and then make the meal back, it's important to cure the disease." β
Medicine, Jiang Qiao has it in the space, and it is symptomatic, but she can't just take it out at home, besides, there are some things she still has to prepare, not to mention that there is nothing left in Ma Liu's house, let's just say that in the kitchen, except for the pot and water tank, there is really nothing left, and it is not an exaggeration to use the four walls of the house.
Jiang Qiao went out, there were a lot of things to prepare, Ma Liu's change of clothes, as well as bedding and cotton jackets, as well as oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, grain and vegetables, plus medicine, she could get a lot of out, there was a flat car in the space, and she was a little girl pushing such a big cart of things back, and the pedestrians on the road saw Jiang Qiao like this, and they were also enthusiastic to come over and take her back.
Jiang Qiao didn't care, and wanted to give people some thank-you gifts, but these comrades waved their hands, and they turned around and left.
"Oh, there are still a lot of good people-"
Hearing that there was movement outside, the old man hurriedly came out to take a look, but the old man was also surprised to see the little granddaughter come back with so many things.
"Oh my God, where did you get that?"
Jiang Qiao waved his small hand, "Don't worry about you when you're old, if you have money and my father's connections, I can naturally buy it, you can help unload the car quicklyββ"
Qiao Jie has a little heart-warming place that makes Jiang Qiao feel special, if she doesn't say it, the old man won't ask, what should she do.
With these things she brought back, the house instantly had the appearance of home, and she could cook for the two old men with peace of mind.
Qiao Jie was preparing to boil the medicine on the side, but when he saw the things that Jiang Qiao brought back, the old man was surprised, because the medicine brought back by the child was a little different from their ancestral secret recipe, how to say it, the medicinal materials were much richer, and of course the price was not cheap.
"Girl, have you changed the prescription?"
Jiang Qiao nodded, "Well, I combined the medical notes I saw and re-got it, this should be more effective, the previous effect is effective, but the effect is slow, Grandpa Liuzi is like this, he has to be treated quickly, he should be delayed, he can't let him continue to deteriorate, Grandpa Qiao, I'll add water-"
The water is well water in the space, and she thinks it can have some effect.
Qiao Jie stared at the boiling medicine, Jiang Qiao hurriedly cooked, and the grain she brought back was mainly coarse grains, but there were also some fine grains, which she planned to boil porridge for Ma Liu.
"Grandpa Qiao, what's going on with this six-son grandfather?"
Speaking of this partner, Qiao Jie was sentimental, "I didn't dare to tell you his identity before I came, girl, you also saw it, your sixth grandfather is a eunuch, the eunuch knows, right?"
Jiang Qiao nodded, "I know, then how did he become a eunuch, and how did he get to this point?"
Speaking of this, the old man told Jiang Qiao about the past of the sixth son, back then, the life of the Ma Liu family was hard, and his father had no choice but to give the child away, who would have thought that the family would sell the child to the palace for money.
"My father and mother let the devils kill them, and the six sons' family were not spared, I was wandering around, and I didn't make any money, at most I could make a living, and then I met your sixth grandfather, he just left the palace at that time, and he still had some money in his hand, so he gave me money to buy a house.
He later went south, and then heard that a child was adopted, who would have thought that the child raised would become a white-eyed wolf, this is better than not raising, the two surnames may not be able to have this child to do, all the valuable things in the family are gone, and the good clothes and bedding of your sixth grandfather were also taken away by this little beast.
He really doesn't care about your sixth grandfather, I guess, he must wait for your sixth grandfather to starve to death, and then come to collect the house.
Girl, your sixth grandfather's life is very hard, they are all children of poor families, and some things can't help him-"
Jiang Qiao frowned and sighed, "Grandpa Qiao, I know, there are some things that Grandpa Liuzi can't do by himself, which man do you say is willing to be a eunuch, isn't that the world bad, and the poor can't live anymore."
Alas, but he is like this now, what should he do in the future, do you always have an idea, he is like this, can we let go?"
