Chapter 25: Trade-offs
As soon as Mrs. Cui heard the "meat of her heart", she suddenly burst into tears, got up tremblingly, and cried, "Jin girl, are you trying to make your grandmother angry to death?" β
Seeing that her grandmother was so angry that she cried like this, Jinxin was not indifferent in her heart, but she was still standing there woodenly.
Compared with his grandmother's crying bitterly, Brother Lan'er's life is more important, and if he delays for a moment, Brother Lan will be more threatened.
Reliving a lifetime, Jinxin has learned to make trade-offs.
It's not that she doesn't want to explain, it's just that the more she explains, the more confused she becomes, and she wastes her tongue.
Fang's twisted the handkerchief for a long time, glanced at Luo Jinxin with a cold face, and then at his son who was lying on the kang without life, and finally looked at Cui Lao Taijun and Lu with determination.
"Old lady, second wife, daughter-in-law knelt down for you, please have mercy on Brother Lan."
Fang's graceful melon seed face was lightly raised, although it was beautiful, but it revealed an indestructible will.
As a mother, seeing her child like this, life is really worse than death, and she can't take care of anything.
Seeing that Fang's family, who was very gentle in the past, knelt down for her, Mrs. Cui couldn't help but sigh, put her cane on the ground, and shouted to Lu's family, "Let's go, save yourself from getting in the way here!" β
Lu Shi glanced at the unangry Fang Shi and smiled coldly, "If Brother Lan has three long and two short, don't blame us!" β
After that, he helped Mrs. Cui to leave.
Fang knew that although this level had passed, in the eyes of Cui Lao Taijun and Lu, she had also become a disobedient and unfilial daughter-in-law. But as long as he can save his son, what is there to fear?
Wiping away a handful of tears, she staggered to her feet, but her body shook slightly.
Jin Xinyan quickly supported her, and easily caught Fang's pulse, "Sister-in-law, you can also go out and rest, stay up like this, and when Brother Lan gets better, you will also fall ill." Who will take care of Brother Lan then? β
Fang's automatically filtered out Jinxin's words of concern, and only heard the sentence "Brother Lan is getting better", and immediately grabbed Jinxin's hand and asked eagerly, "Sister, do you think Brother Lan can get better?" β
Looking at her eager eyes, Jinxin couldn't bear to shake her head, nodded slowly, and said, "Sister-in-law, I will do my best, and I won't let Brother Lan worry about his life." β
In his previous life, he learned some medical skills from the Taoist aunt in the family nunnery, and he liked these, so he worked hard and studied them. Although Brother Lan'er's symptoms are dangerous, he has not yet reached the point of helplessness.
Jinxin decided to give it a go.
Hearing her words, Fang's smiled for the first time in many days. The smile on the young woman's soft cheeks was like a plum blossom in the cold winter, fresh and cheerful.
But the moment she lowered her head, Jinxin clearly saw a few strands of silver hair on Fang's sideburns, and she couldn't help but be shocked.
The widowed woman was only in her twenties, in the prime of her life, but she ran out of oil.
Jinxin comforted her a few words, and Fang's finally went out uneasily.
In the house, Jinxin took the two girls to take off all the clothes on Brother Lan'er's body, and he was so naked.
Jinxin didn't care what others thought of her, and asked the girl to take it and hold back the blood, and with cinnabar, she smeared Brother Lan all over her body.
After doing this, Jinxin led the two girls out of the house, locked the door, pinched the key in his hand, and went.
At this time, it is not the time of the sun.
Fang sat in the wing room and waited worriedly, and when it was time for lunch, he didn't see Jinxin appear.
And Brother Lan, who was lying on the kang in the hall, suddenly began to cry.
Perhaps because the water and rice had not been eaten for a few days, the cry was low and hoarse, as if it had been squeezed out of the throat.
As soon as Fang heard his son crying, his heart, liver and flesh were mixed together, and he was busy getting up to take a look.
Who knew that the door was locked by Jinxin, and the doors and windows of An's house were made of solid nanmu, where did she regret moving a woman's family?
Fang's was so anxious that he was covered in sweat, and hurriedly ordered Bai Lu, "Quick, go and invite Miss Luo over." β
She leaned by the window and kept calling her son's name.
It's just that Brother Lan was crying in a coma, and he didn't know that his mother had cut his heart like a knife.
When Bai Lu rushed to Jinluo Pavilion, Jinxin was taking a lunch break.
Zizhi sat on the couch in the outer room embroidering a handkerchief, and when she saw Bai Lu coming, she got up enthusiastically and greeted, "My sister is here, sit down!" β
Bai Lu has something on her mind, where can she still sit down?
She glanced at the silent room and said hurriedly, "When will the girl wake up?" β
Zizhi pulled her to sit down and smiled, "How can this be accurate?" The girl didn't get a good night's rest last night, and I'm afraid I'm going to have to sleep more today. β
"My aunt, how long is this going to sleep? Brother Lan was crying over there, what is the young grandmother uncomfortable, and the girl is still asleep? β
Bai Lu was so anxious that she rubbed her hands, and she couldn't help complaining.
Zizhi lost her smiling face, and then embroidered her handkerchief, "Sister, is this blaming our girl?" There are so many people in the house who don't tell the truth, our girl not only told the truth, but also sincerely treated Brother Lan'er, and fell into such a complaint. It can be seen that kindness is not rewarded! β
Bai Lu is not stupid, she can serve by the side of the young grandmother, and she also has a little eyesight, knowing that she said the wrong thing in her impatience, and she apologized shyly.
"Sister, don't bury me, it's me who is not good, and I don't choose what to say. It's just that Brother Lan is crying a lot, and the young grandmother wants to go into the house to see ......"
Seeing that Zizhi ignored her, Bai Lu had to bite her lip and beg, "The girl hasn't woken up yet, I don't dare to disturb, can my sister take the key to the young grandmother's house, just take a look at the young grandmother's house!" β
Before Zizhi could answer, she saw that the curtain in the inner room was shaking, and Jinxin had already come out neatly dressed.
"The girl is awake?" Zizhi hurriedly put down the work in her hand, got up and went to pick up Jinxin with a smile.
Bai Lu also stood up and saluted.
Jinxin waved his hand, sat down on the chair, looked at Bai Lu and said in a deep voice, "I heard what you just said, you just go back and tell Grandma SΓΉ, let her die of this heart, Brother Lan doesn't cry until dark, no one can enter the house!" β
No one had ever acted like this before, and Bai Lu couldn't accept it. Brother Lan is the son of the eldest and youngest grandmother, is she not even able to see her own son now?
It's just that she is a subordinate, how dare she distinguish from her master? At that moment, I had to rush back to the Congjie Courtyard in a hurry and talk to the eldest and young grandmother Fang's 1510.
Fang's was also half angry, but her son was crying hoarsely on the kang inside, she was afraid that the child would have a long and short life, and she didn't dare to leave here and get the key herself.
Luo Jinxin waited in the Jinluo Pavilion until it was dark before showing up, and he didn't care about the food, so he rushed to the Congjie Courtyard with Xue Ling.
The Commandment House is already brightly lit, and Mrs. Cui and the Lu family are there, and they are slamming the door.
Fang sat slumped in front of the door, his hair was scattered, his eyes were blank, staring at the Nanmu carved door guarded by General Tong.
