Chapter 148: Illness (2)
The doctor came to diagnose Saitama's pulse and prescribed medicine, only saying that he occasionally felt a cold, and it was good to recuperate. But because Saitama was depressed in his heart, it was not good for Qiushuang, Qiuyan and other maids to take care of them together.
Shi recognized that Saitama was deliberately pretending to be sick, so he actually visited him in person in the past few days, but only sent a mother-in-law to ask every day, so that Saitama could recuperate with peace of mind. The people below saw that Shi was not interested, so they also concealed Saitama's illness and did not report it. Shi's indifference made Saitama's heart cold, and he once wanted to be a person who was treated as a mother, but he was so affectionate, so he lost his enthusiasm in the past. In this way, there was an unprecedented crisis in the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
In fact, Shi is not a vicious person, but she has a bad temperament, and the things she recognizes will not change easily. She decided that it was Saitama's fault, and she had a preconceived idea, which led to dissatisfaction with everything Saitama did.
The old lady in Zhang's house was anxious when she heard the news of Saitama's illness, but it was not good to visit her in person, and the weather was cold, and the old lady was not happy. Because Liu was busy with his son's wedding, he really couldn't get out. Therefore, poor Saitama has been sick for a few days, and no one has come to care for him except for the maid who is close to him.
Saitama's illness dragged on for nearly ten days before it improved slightly, but the whole person lost a lot of weight, and his spirit did not look very good. After lunch on this day, the sun was just right, and Saitama lay in the house for more than ten days, very depressed, so he planned to go out for a walk.
There is also a small hot spring pool in the Kokukofu, and even in the middle of winter, flowers bloom around the area. Guogong Mansion was originally the palace of a prince in the previous dynasty, and there was a hot spring in it, which could be counted in addition to the palace in the capital. The first emperor Nian made outstanding achievements in the Duke of Qi, and in his early years, he galloped on the battlefield and fell into the problem of old cold legs, and specially gave him this hot spring mansion to recuperate.
Saitama followed Qiuyan and Que'er to the edge of the hot spring, only to see the heat and swirling, like a fairyland. Autumn swallow spread a brocade mattress on the pavilion, and Saitama was wrapped in a big red fox fur, basking in the sun, which was very pleasant. Suddenly, I saw a small red figure appear in the garden, and Saitama took a closer look and it turned out to be Li Duan's eldest daughter, Sister Lian'er. Sister Lian'er has not been in good health since she was a child, and she looks thinner than her peers, so Lian rarely asks her to go out.
After a while, I saw that Sister Lian'er had come to the front, and her nurse was hurrying behind, shouting:
"Miss, be careful, don't fall. ”
Saitama motioned for Que'er to step forward and support Sister Lian'er, and Que'er brought Sister Lian'er closer. Saitama looked at Sister Lian's little face and was frozen red, very cute, while gently holding her little hand,
"Sister Lian'er, are you cold?" Sister Lian'er shook her head shyly. The nurse on one side said:
"Sister Lian'er hasn't seen your aunt yet?" Sister Lian'er heard before she shouted in a low voice, "Auntie." Saitama smiled in response.
"How old is Sister Lian?" Sister Lian listened to Saitama's question, and did not answer, but remained silent. When the nurse saw this, she hurriedly said:
"Why doesn't Sister Lian speak?" Saitama stopped the nurse,
"Don't rush her, it's pressing, let alone it. ”
"Please forgive the second young grandmother, Sister Lian'er, this child is stupid and doesn't know how to speak. Saitama shook her head with a smile and said:
"It's okay, it's okay slowly. Although he said so, he also knew in his heart that Sister Lian'er was a motherless child, who would care, not to mention that now that her stepmother is pregnant again, it will take care of her. This child's life experience is so similar to herself, but she still has her grandmother to take care of her, but Sister Lian doesn't like it, and she can't help but feel a little sympathy for this child. Saitama pulled Sister Lian and said:
"Sister Lian, let the nurse take you to the nurse to play in the future, Sister Qiuyan will make a lot of delicious food for you, okay?"
Although Sister Lian still didn't speak, she didn't reject this aunt who spoke softly and softly and always had a smile on her face, so she nodded. She pulled the nurse to see the lotus, and the nurse had to say goodbye to Saitama in a hurry.
Saitama sat for a while, just about to leave. I saw the wife of the prince Huang being embraced by a group of people. Although Saitama doesn't like the Huang family, and she doesn't usually have many interactions, she always has to get by on face, so she stood up.
Huang walked outside the pavilion and did not come in, but stopped outside and said:
"Brother and sister, my body is better, but I haven't seen it for a long time. I'm inconvenient, and I didn't go to see you, so I don't blame my sister-in-law. After saying that, he gently stroked his stomach and looked at Saitama with some schadenfreude. Saitama smiled slightly,
"Thank you sister-in-law for your concern, I'm already well. ”
"That's good, the second brother has only been out for a long time before the younger brother and sister are sick, and when he comes back, I don't know how distressed, I'm afraid I will blame us for not taking good care of his precious daughter-in-law." ”
Sister-in-law laughed. Saitama didn't behave differently because of Huang's words, but it made Huang a little disappointed, thinking that it was not pleasing to look at Saitama and Li Yi's affection, so he wanted to seize this opportunity to stab Saitama well.
"Speaking of which, the younger brother and sister have not been short to pass through the door, why hasn't the stomach moved, the second brother may be also very anxious. Sister-in-law advises you to want to open some too, some things have to be done sooner or later, why bother with your aunt for this. After saying that, he looked at Saitama mockingly.
"My sister-in-law is leisurely and takes our little things to heart. Saitama insinuated that Huang was nosy.
Huang was a little angry when he heard this, and it was not good to attack directly. suddenly covered his stomach and hummed, and the maid next to him suddenly became anxious and panicked. Or her grandmother knew her young lady's thoughts and said:
"I think I'm tired of walking, so I have to sit down and rest for a while. Saitama didn't know if it was true or not, but she just felt weird. So he asked Huang to come to the pavilion and sit on his brocade mattress. But the nurse said to Saitama:
"The slave maid has a reluctant request, and I also ask the second young grandmother to avoid it, Mrs. Shizi is a pregnant person, and the second young grandmother's body has not recovered yet, I am afraid that it will be ......" Speaking of this, she paused and glanced at the Huang family.
Only then did Saitama realize that he was walking by himself, and Qiuyan and Que'er next to him were about to rush up to theorize when they heard it, but they were stopped by Saitama.
"Qiuyan, after collecting the mattress, we should also go back. Qiu Yan didn't dare to disobey Saitama's words, so she had to glare at the nurse fiercely, and went up to collect things with Que'er.
Just as Saitama walked down the steps, the nurse whispered,
"If you are sick, you won't avoid it, and you still move forward, it's really ......"
It was a small voice, but it was just enough for Saitama to hear. Saitama's footsteps paused, but she still didn't look back, and continued to walk, but a closer look reveals that she clenched her fists tightly on the ground.
The Huang family in the pavilion looked proudly at Saitama's distant back, and his heart was happy, and he finally let out the stuffiness in his chest for a long time.
