Chapter 41

On the second day after giving birth, Aunt Zhao slowly woke up.

But although she woke up, she had the root of the disease on her body. Listening to the doctor's meaning, it seems that he can no longer give birth, and this time he lost too much blood, so he can only lie in bed and raise it.

When Aunt Zhao heard this, her eyes rolled, and she couldn't wait to faint again, and when she thought about it again, she gritted her teeth with hatred: If it weren't for the uncle who didn't even say a word, if it wasn't for the fact that the third girl casually slapped her in the face, would she have fallen to this point?

The maid trembled and persuaded: "Auntie, you still have a little lady now." ”

"Hmph." Aunt Zhao snorted coldly, "What's the use of a yellow-haired girl?" Sister Yue is not raised by my own side, what else can I hope for? "According to the family tree, the newborn girl has been named Mei Yue, and now she is raised in front of Qiao's family, so naturally she will not be close to her. Thinking of this, Aunt Zhao sneered again, and the hatred for Mei Ru in her heart increased by a few points.

Over there, Meiru was grounded for three days.

She wasn't angry or annoyed, it was really because she was too lazy to think about this kind of thing - being angry with Aunt Zhao was a bargain, and it was no good to be angry with her ancestors - Mei Ru only wanted to hide in the room and rebuild Fang Wuzhi. Since she took over Xiao Qiao's job last autumn, it is now the end of April, and if it is delayed any longer, it will be summer...... Taking advantage of the grounding in the past few days, Mei Ru just retracted a little and wanted to finish this matter quickly.

Three days later, Mei Ru finally had time to go to Dong's house.

Hearing that it was the third girl from Meifu who came, the Qian family still didn't have a good face, a cold and indifferent appearance. When he saw the silver, this person completely changed his face and smiled, as if he had changed his face. But soon, her brows furrowed, and she looked embarrassed again.

Mei Ru saw it in her eyes and knew that she must still want silver. Mei Ru was angry in her heart, so she didn't move at this moment, she only took a sip of tea slowly, and deliberately colded her.

She was originally a young lady from the Dingguo Mansion, although she didn't have a proper line on weekdays, but when she lowered her face, she had a bit of bearing.

Qian Shi was stunned, carefully piled up a sad face, and sighed: "Don't hide it from the third girl, this sister in my family has been going back and forth recently, and she has never seen any better...... Now that this is the case, we have to worry about it again in this house. In the end, there was another heavy sigh.

Hearing that Sister Yao's body was repeated, Mei Ru was stunned, and when she thought about something, she paused, frowned deliberately, and sighed: "Since you always can't see it well, then our house will invite a doctor to come over and see what happened to Sister Yao." ”

"This ......" Qian Shi's face was full of embarrassment, and he excused himself, "Third girl, I have invited several doctors, but I can't see a reason to come, I just said that I raised it, and don't trouble it in your house." ”

"How can it be troublesome?" Mei Ru was more and more surprised. As she spoke, she turned her head and ordered Yichan to send someone to invite the doctor, and specially ordered: "Please ask Dr. Min to come." "The old doctor Min in Mei Ru's mouth has excellent medical skills, which is not something that ordinary people can get, not to mention, the original Dong family married into Mei Mansion, and the physical discomfort was also regulated by this old gentleman.

In this way, it is difficult for the Qian family to shirk again, otherwise it will seem that he really has some bad intentions. She smiled and sent a maid to lead Mei Ru to Dong's place.

As soon as Mei Ru walked on the front foot, a young man in his twenties came in on the back foot, with a bit of a portrait of the Qian family, with a square forehead, a pair of eyes squinting when he laughed, and a little slippery head, it was Qian Zhong, the younger brother of the Qian family.

"Sister, how's that?" He sat down and asked with a smile.

Qian snorted and said, "Do you think it's so easy to get money from the Mei Mansion?" ”

Qian Zhong was obviously suspicious: "They give a lot of silver every month, but now they don't care about it for just a few taels of silver?" ”

"That three girls are fine." Qian Shi complained, and his eyes widened in an instant, "Could it be that you think that your sister will hide those taels of silver privately?" ”

Qian Zhong still smiled: "No matter, sister, you remember to divide me some every month, anyway, my brother-in-law doesn't know ......" said, and Nunu mouthed, and said in a low voice: "Sister, do you want to put this family matter aside for a while?" This big girl in your family is so bad, she is sick, turn around and bring me bad luck! My mother didn't agree to ......"

Qian said: "What do you know! ”

This person has poor bones, but he has a lot of dowry back, and his younger brother is not motivated, he only knows how to spend money, and he has not married a daughter-in-law in his twenties, and the old lady of the Qian family is in a hurry......

Now that a person like a beautiful jade is in front of him, listening to the discussion, what's wrong?

Qian had a wishful thinking.

Let's say that Mei Ru went to Dong's place, and there was really a smell of medicine in the house.

In the inner room, Dong was lying on his side on the bed, covered with a thin quilt, and his green hair swayed behind his back, and he was indescribably emaciated. Mei Ru's eyes were hot again when she saw it, "Sister." She hurriedly stepped forward and called.

When Dong heard this voice, he hurriedly turned around: "Follow?!" She was a little incredulous, and said to Kazuho again: "Why don't you come in and say something?" ”

"I didn't let Kazuho say it." Mei Ru hurriedly said, and sat down on the edge of the bed to take a look. Dong's is much thinner than in February, and the sister-in-law with round cheeks in her impression is really gone, Mei Ru asked, "What's wrong with my sister's body?" ”

Dong coughed lightly, hid his face and said, "It's an old problem." ”

"Girl, don't you tell Miss SΓΉ yet?" The Waho of the side was anxious. Dong glanced over complainingly, and said to Sui: "Girl, the method of pretending to be sick and avoiding marriage was taught by the third girl." Dong Shi was completely stunned when he heard this, and only looked at Mei Ru blankly: "Follow the rules, you ......"

Mei Ru had a number in her heart, when the Qian family said that Sister Yao's body was repeated, Mei Ru guessed some, and this time when she heard the conversation between the master and servant, she completely understood, and no longer turned around, Mei Ru asked herself: "Sister Yao, who is your sister-in-law going to promise you to?" ”

Dong lowered his eyes.

Mei Ru looked at Hesui, and Hesui said, "You want to match our girl to her mother's brother!" Since he said it, Hesui poured bitter water directly: "Third girl, that master is not a good person, just ask a little bit and know!" Now the family is only afraid that they are still greedy for the girl's dowry, and seeing that the girl is sick like this, they are still forcing it day by day, so they have to hurry up and decide this matter......"

Hesui wiped his tears and said, "If you don't come back, the third girl, this matter should be decided!" Fortunately, we know that the eldest girl of the Guogong Mansion got married in May, so we guess that the third girl will definitely come back this month, so that we can persuade my girl to pretend to be sick and hide for a while......"

Mei Ru only felt pain in her heart, and she sighed: "Why don't you tell the second sister?" ”

He Sui replied: "The second girl has been here twice. But my girl is a person who doesn't want to trouble, saying that she is not close to the second girl, and seeing that the second girl is weak, she doesn't want her to bother, so she didn't mention it much......"

Dong still lowered his eyes, his eyes were lifeless, and his appearance was really painful.

Mei Ru asked the people in the house to go out first, and when she was the only one left, Mei Ru grabbed Dong's hand and said, "Sister Yao, my sister has the courage to ask, are you willing to marry such a person?" ”

Dong raised his eyes, and there were hot teardrops all there, and with a slight blink, they all rolled down. She cried: "Follow the rules, my sister won't hide it from you, I have already thought about it, if I am asked to marry such a person again, and suffer like this, sister, I have no other way but to die......"

As she spoke, she pulled out a pair of scissors from under her pillow and her gaze fell fixedly.

Mei Ru's heart was cold, and she took the scissors and said, "Good sister, then we won't get married, and we can't take the road of seeking death!" ”

"My father and mother are gone, and now I live in my brother and sister-in-law's house, and I can only listen to my brother and sister-in-law's arrangement." Dong's face turned pale.

Mei Ru said: "Sister, don't worry, I'll think about it." Dong looked at her in a daze, and Mei Ru said: "We have to continue to pretend to be sick, and scare them to death!" Let them be greedy like this! ”

As he spoke, the old doctor Min arrived, Mei Ru smiled and pointed to the outside, and winked at Dong.

Mei Ru was naturally beating this Dr. Min's idea. But where is this old man willing to accompany the little girl to do such a trick? When he heard this ghostly idea, he shook his head again and again: "Don't mess around!" Old man, I have been practicing medicine all my life, but I have never done such a trick! "I'm leaving.

Mei Ru stopped: "Old man, if you don't say this, you will really push my sister into the fire pit, that is a life to go in and not to come out!" ”

Doctor Min paused, but still frowned: "If others know that the old master has diagnosed the wrong pulse, won't he fall into his mouth?" ”

Mei Ru begged: "Then it only needs the old gentleman to tell the truth." ”

"What truth?" The old doctor wondered.

Mei Ru pointed to the Dong family in the bed curtain and said coldly: "Let's just say that my poor sister's time is running out." ”

……

Doctor Min and Mei Ru went to the Qian family together.

Qian was very polite this time: "Doctor, I don't know how my sister is?" ”

Doctor Min twisted his beard and didn't say anything, only shook his head and sighed.

"This ......" Qian was puzzled, and Mei Ru over there also had a dark face and didn't speak, Qian became more and more confused, and was about to ask, when the old doctor Min on the opposite side had already gotten up to say goodbye, and halfway through, he seemed to be unable to bear to look back and remind: "This girl in your family has no time." After a pause, he said, "Anyone who has been to that girl's room should pay more attention, if you feel tightness in your chest, wheezing, and night sweats, you are afraid that you are too sick...... If you do have this symptom, remember to ask me for two doses. ”

Mei Ru was overjoyed when she heard this, and immediately looked at the old doctor gratefully, full of comprehension.

When the Qian family heard this, she panicked, she went to the Dong family every day these days to say good things for her younger brother, how can she ...... Time is running out?

She sat down in her chair in a daze, her mind in a mess.

Thinking about Dr. Min's words day and night, Qian couldn't sleep more and more, only felt tightness in his chest, out of breath, and touched his forehead again, isn't it cold sweat?

Looking at the sweat in the palms of his hands, and thinking of the person who was about to die, Qian became more and more uncomfortable!

Early the next morning, the Qian family was eager to send the Dong family away immediately, but he didn't know where to send it, which must be a matter of tongue-in-cheek. Qian was worried, and the maid replied: "There is a car outside, and it is said that the third girl of Meifu has sent to pick up the eldest girl to recuperate in their Zhuangzi......" Qian Shi turned his face and smiled when he heard this, and he didn't care whether it was suitable or not, and hurriedly bombarded Dong and left. As soon as Dong left, he hurriedly ordered someone to burn all the bedding, pillows, and cotton wool in the courtyard. I was still scared of this, so I went to Dr. Min to ask for a prescription.

As soon as she ate two doses of clinker, her heart beat even more panicked.

Qian patted his thigh at home and cried: "I'm going to die, I'm going to die, I'm really going to die this time!" ”

Qian Zhong covered his mouth and nose and said, "I don't want to be infected with this bad luck!" Sister, don't make any more matchmaking! ”

Qian gritted his teeth and said, "Why don't you settle down quickly?" While there is still a breath, I will be greedy for her dowry......"

"Sister, you really want money and don't want to die!"

"I can't bear the wolf with the child, what do you know?" Qian said.

"Oh, I don't want it!" Qian Zhong waved his sleeves and ran faster than anyone else, avoiding it, for fear of contracting the terminal illness and having a bad face.

The matter between Dong and Qian Zhong was put on hold for the time being, but Mei Ru was still a little worried.

This pretending to be sick is not a long-term solution, and there must be a specific plan. It's just that both of them are daughters, and they can't do anything, Mei Ru became more and more worried, and secretly thought to herself, when the eldest sister is married, she first begged her mother to live in Zhuangzi for a few days, and then asked Yunlan if she would go, and the girl was always secretly talking in her ear that she wanted to learn to ride a horse.
