54 Chapter 54
Gu Manniang asked Tang Xiaobao and Niuniu to eat the bowl of egg custard specially made for them, and told them to be careful not to burn it. This egg custard doesn't look very hot on the surface, but in fact it's just as hot as anything else that has just been made.
Gu Manniang saw that they were eating well, so she brought the bowl of egg custard to Mrs. Tang and sent it to Mrs. Tang.
From the time Mrs. Tang told Gu Manniang that she wanted to eat egg custard to now that Gu Manniang went to deliver egg custard to Mrs. Tang, it was almost an hour, and after such a long time, Mrs. Tang would naturally be a little unhappy.
"If my wife lives with you, she won't starve to death." Mrs. Tang didn't have a good airway.
knew that Mrs. Tang was unreasonable, and Gu Manniang didn't bother to explain it to her. Explain to her that it was a pure waste of water in her mouth, and she might as well keep it for her teeth.
Gu Manniang closed her mouth and didn't speak, but Mrs. Tang didn't plan to let her go like this, "What are you still doing in a daze, why don't you feed me quickly?" ”
Feed her? She's grown so big that she hasn't fed anyone other than her little niece. She didn't break her arms and legs, can she use this?
Of course, it is necessary to do this, why should Mrs. Tang pretend to be sick? She pretended to be sick just to rectify Gu Manniang, and she naturally would not let go of any opportunity.
Seeing that Gu Manniang was stunned and didn't move, Mrs. Tang glared at her fiercely, "What are you still doing there?" Don't you want to feed me, an old woman? ”
You are really a little self-aware, Gu Manniang muttered to herself.
If it weren't for Gu Manniang's good temper, she would have deducted this bowl of egg custard directly from her head.
Gu Manniang took a deep breath, she endured this breath today.
Gu Manniang endured her anger and fed Mrs. Tang egg custard. But this Tang Pozi is full of tricks, and after a while, she said that it was too hot, and Gu Manniang had no choice but to blow cold with her mouth. After a while, he said that it was too cold and smelled fishy......
It's not good, it's not good, but she hasn't stopped for a moment. Just such a bowl of egg custard, it took almost half an hour to feed her.
No wonder, Zhang said that Mrs. Tang wanted to accept that daughter-in-law, as long as she pretended to be sick. And the reason why Tang Pozi is commonly used is not because this trick is easy to use.
Her 'illness', except for Old Donald, who has no sense of existence, everyone else has to revolve around her. Among them, it is a good way to clean up her daughter-in-law, and getting sick also reflects her supremacy in the Tang family......
The egg custard was finally finished, and Mrs. Tang felt thirsty again, so she asked Gu Manniang to wash two pears for her to eat.
Gu Manniang even fed her egg custard, so what's the big deal about washing two pears for her. After the pears were washed, Mrs. Tang asked Gu Manniang to peel the skin again. Gu Manniang couldn't resist the urge to roll her eyes and look, but she couldn't see that this woman was still exquisite.
In this era, it is not easy for the poor to eat the fruit once. If anyone can eat fruit, the particular ones will wash it and eat it, and the ones who are not particular will not eat it directly by rubbing and biting it with their hands. There is no such thing as Tang Pozi, who has to peel the skin before eating. It's really poor......
Peeling the gods, naturally it is difficult to stop Gu Manniang. Gu Manniang peeled the skin and handed it to Mrs. Tang, Gu Manniang thought that she should have nothing to pick this time. But people thought she had peeled her skin too thickly.
This person is simply a bone in the egg, no matter how good you do, she can pick out whether it is or not. There is such an evil mother-in-law, Gu Manniang deeply sympathizes with the original owner and the Liu family.
Mrs. Tang ate a pear, and Tang Tiezhu, who went to grab the medicine, finally came back. When Mrs. Tang saw that Tang Tiezhu was back, she didn't ask Gu Manniang to do anything else.
Tang Tiezhu, who took the medicine back, came to visit the sick old lady first thing when he came back, "Mother, what do you think now?" ”
"I still don't have any strength." Mrs. Tang replied weakly.
Obviously, he had just eaten a big bowl of egg custard and a pear, but in a blink of an eye, Mrs. Tang became a weak patient. Regarding Mrs. Tang's acting skills in front of her son, Gu Manniang expressed her admiration very much.
However, what Gu Manniang couldn't figure out, why did Mrs. Tang pretend to be sick in front of her son, but she didn't pretend at all in front of her. Wouldn't it be better if Mrs. Tang was in front of her and kept acting like Tang Tiezhu in front of her? Why didn't Mrs. Tang do this? This made Gu Manniang unable to figure it out.
Gu Manniang figured out that the reason why Mrs. Tang did this was to tell her plainly that she was pretending to be sick, what can you do to me?
Do you know that I am faking my illness, and you go and tell my son about this, and then see if my son believes you or me?
Tang Dazhu and Tang Erzhu didn't mention it first, with Tang Tiezhu's expression, if Gu Manniang came to Tang Tiezhu and said that Tang Pozi was pretending to be sick, Tang Tiezhu would definitely not believe it. Eighty percent would still think that Gu Manniang was lying. If it was the original owner, the original main thing was to dare to say that Tang Pozi was pretending to be sick in front of Tang Tiezhu, Tang Tiezhu definitely didn't say a word, and directly punched and kicked Gu Manniang.
Replaced by the current Gu Manniang, although Tang Tiezhu didn't dare to punch and kick her, he still wouldn't believe Gu Manniang's words.
Although Gu Manniang didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Tang Pozi's gourd, she wouldn't be stupid enough to tell Tang Tiezhu that her mother was pretending to be sick. Because she knew that if she really went to tell Tang Tiezhu, she would fall for Mrs. Tang.
Tang Tiezhu saw Mrs. Tang's weak appearance, and he felt very uncomfortable. If he hadn't said something like that yesterday, maybe my mother wouldn't have gotten sick.
"Mother, if you have anything you want to eat, you say, wait for my son to cook it for you." Tang Tiezhu felt that it was his responsibility for Mrs. Tang's illness, so he wanted to compensate her as much as possible at this time.
"I don't have much appetite in my mouth right now, I don't want to eat anything." Mrs. Tang still looks like she is going to die.
Hearing Mrs. Tang's words, Gu Manniang resisted the urge to roll her eyes. Say that you have no appetite and don't want to eat anything. Who ate a big bowl of egg custard and a pear just now? Could it be that all the food just now was fed to the dogs?
"My mother-in-law is very weak now, and she definitely doesn't want to eat anything." Gu Manniang didn't bother to debunk Tang Pozi's tricks, "It's better to boil the medicine out first and let the mother-in-law drink it first, take the medicine, and this disease can be cured." ”
When Tang Tiezhu heard this, he couldn't help patting his head with his hand, "How could I forget such an important matter." Manniang, you take care of your mother here, and I'll go to boil medicine for my mother. ”
Gu Manniang hurriedly stopped Tang Tiezhu, "It's better for you to accompany your mother here, I'll go and boil medicine for my mother." "It's better to do something else than to accompany Mrs. Tang here.
Tang Tiezhu had never boiled medicine before, and since Gu Manniang was going to do it, he was willing to do it in every possible way.
When Gu Manniang left, Tang Tiezhu also came out with him.
"Manniang, this is the remaining silver." Tang Tiezhu very consciously handed over the copper money left over from the medical treatment to Gu Manniang. His behavior made Gu Manniang a little surprised. Gu Manniang originally thought that even if there was some money left in these two pieces of silver, Tang Tiezhu would take it for herself, but she never thought that Tang Tiezhu would obediently hand over the remaining copper coins.
Tang Tiezhu didn't seem to see Gu Manniang's surprised expression, so he only listened to him continue, "That old doctor got fifty yuan for a consultation, and another three hundred yuan for medicine for seeing a doctor, a total of three hundred and fifty yuan. And I was afraid of the bitterness of the medicine, so I spent 20 yuan to buy some dates for my mother. ”
After listening to Tang Tiezhu's report, Gu Manniang couldn't help muttering to herself, he is a filial son, but he is not an old husband and a good father......
Gu Manniang was not so generous as to let Tang Tiezhu collect the rest of the money. She had to let Tang Tiezhu know that if she wanted silver, she had to earn it herself.
The Tang family did not have special equipment for boiling medicine, so Gu Manniang had to pour the medicine into the cauldron and boil it. As for what three bowls of water are boiled into a bowl of medicine to drink, she knows this.
After Gu Manniang boiled the medicine, she sent the medicine to Mrs. Tang. Looking at the bowl of black medicine, Gu Manniang couldn't help but smile on her face. Didn't Mrs. Tang just ask her to feed her? This time, she will definitely feed her carefully and slowly.
Thinking of this, Gu Manniang walked to the door of Mrs. Tang's room. Gu Manniang took the medicine, turned her head directly, and went to the stove room to find a spoon.
When Gu Manniang came in with a medicine bowl, she saw Tang Tiezhu sitting on the edge of the bed chatting with Mrs. Tang. When Mrs. Tang saw Gu Manniang coming in, she immediately shut up. Seeing her like this, Gu Manniang knew with her toes that this woman must have been speaking ill of her just now.
"Mother-in-law, I've boiled the medicine, you can drink it while it's hot." Gu Manniang said lightly.
"Set it aside, I'll eat it when it's cooler." She wasn't sick at all, so she couldn't drink medicine. Mrs. Tang thought about waiting for a while, and found a reason to let them leave, and when people didn't think about it, she directly got the bowl of medicine.
"Mother-in-law, I heard the doctor say that this medicine should be taken while it is hot, and the effect will be better." Gu Manniang persuaded.
"Yes, mother, the doctor told me the same thing." Tang Tiezhu was in agreement with Gu Manniang's words. After speaking, Tang Tiezhu turned back to Gu Manniang and said, "Manniang, you give me the medicine bowl, I'll feed my mother the medicine." ”
Tang Tiezhu wanted to make his mother's illness get better as soon as possible, and he didn't see Mrs. Tang's face that was about to be pumped.
"No, let me feed it. You're a man that's going to have me carefully. Gu Manniang was bent on making Mrs. Tang suffer, so she would let go of this opportunity.
Tang Tiezhu thought about it and felt that Gu Manniang was right, so he stopped arguing with Gu Manniang. He only stood up and gave up his position to Gu Manniang.
Gu Manniang doesn't like to sit on other people's hot benches, but in order to rectify Mrs. Tang, she can't take care of these things now.
Other people's bowls of medicine are only as big as small bowls, but Gu Manniang is the largest bowl in the family. When Mrs. Tang saw the big bowl of medicine in Gu Manniang's hand, she couldn't help twitching, "Why do you take such a big bowl to hold medicine." ”
Gu Manniang listened, but said with an innocent face, "The doctor said that three bowls of water are boiled into one bowl, I thought, mother-in-law, you are so sick, this medicine must be drunk a little more every time to get better faster." So I took it upon myself to put it in a big bowl. ”
Hearing Gu Manniang's words, she almost didn't get angry with Mrs. Tang. This is to make her illness get better faster, which is obviously to let her take more medicine, so that she will die of suffering.
Mrs. Tang wanted to scold, but Gu Manniang kept saying that it was for her good, if she still scolded Gu Manniang when she put it on, then it would be clear to tell others that she was a bad mother-in-law.
Gu Manniang saw that Mrs. Tang's face was not good-looking, but the happier she was. Don't you like to pretend to be sick? Don't you want her to be fed? This time, she wants to let Mrs. Tang know what it means to be bitter and unspeakable.
Gu Manniang held the medicine bowl in one hand and the spoon in the other. Scooping the medicine with a spoon, afraid that the medicine would be hot, Gu Manniang also blew it with her mouth very carefully, and when she saw that it was almost there, she sent it to Tang Pozi's mouth.
Tang Tiezhu watched from the sidelines, and Mrs. Tang didn't want to take the medicine anymore, so she had to swallow the medicine sent by Gu Manniang into her stomach with a calm face.
As soon as this medicine entered her mouth, the bitter taste permeated her mouth, which made Mrs. Tang frown. "Why is this medicine so bitter?" This medicine is bitter, just as bitter as eating yellow lotus.
"Mother-in-law, as the saying goes, this medicine is good for the sick. In order to recover as soon as possible, what is the point of enduring a little hardship? Although Gu Manniang persuaded Mrs. Tang to take medicine well, she was already happy in her heart.
When I used to watch TV, every time I saw feeding a patient medicine, Gu Manniang felt that this plot was very unreasonable. How bitter this Chinese medicine is, as long as people who have eaten Chinese medicine know the taste of it. Obviously, you can wait for the medicine to stop cold, and drink a bowl of medicine in one go. In this case, it will be bitter for a short time. But these people still have to drink slowly one by one, and they don't feel bitter when they drink medicine like this.
Now Mrs. Tang is like this, she could have drunk a bowl of medicine in one go, but Gu Manniang was not as good as she wanted, so she had to feed her medicine with a spoon and a spoon. It was supposed to be bitter for a while, but after being made by Gu Manniang like this, I don't know when this 'bitterness' will be finished.
"Mother, the doctor said that you are more angry, so he opened some yellow lotus in it to defeat the fire for you." When Tang Tiezhu heard Mrs. Tang's bitterness, he hurriedly explained.
When Gu Manniang heard this, she almost didn't laugh out loud.
She is just too angry, and eating some coptis is only good for her, and there is no harm at all.
When Mrs. Tang heard that the old doctor had prescribed her a lot of yellow lotus, she cursed the old doctor in her heart.
"Mother, if you feel bitter, I bought you some dates back, wait a minute, you take the medicine, and give you a few dates to make your mouth sweet." Tang Tiezhu is completely coaxing Mrs. Tang as a child.
Mrs. Tang's face couldn't help but darken, but she couldn't scold Tang Tiezhu at this time. All the bitterness, she can only swallow in her stomach.
Gu Manniang doesn't care if Mrs. Tang is afraid of hardship or not, she just keeps feeding Mrs. Tang with medicine. After Mrs. Tang finished eating this bowl of medicine, Gu Manniang felt that Mrs. Tang had a wrinkled face, and the wrinkles on her face became more and more.
With such a show, I believe that even if Mrs. Tang dares to be bad in the future, she will have to look at her Gu Manniang to see if she can let her be bullied all the time.
If it goes through this time, Tang Pozi had better know to accept it when she sees it, otherwise it will just make her suffer when the time comes.
