Chapter 115: Serious Illness
Wei Sanniang looked at her in amazement, Xiang's family had a bad time at home, and was often scolded and criticized by her mother-in-law, Mrs. Wang, and few people in the entire Hujia Village didn't know. When it comes to dealing with people, she is very easy-going with everyone, and she doesn't care about who she embarrasses. Although he has the same problem with other women, he still has a dimension in his heart. When she scolded her mother-in-law, she tried her best to be obedient and rarely spoke back; is also a leader in the field, Wang Changsheng is not at home all the year round, she not only has to do her own work in the field, but also has to help Mrs. Wang. Then there is to make money, and the croppers have no other income except for a little income in the fields. Weekday expenses are very tight.
As for Wang Changsheng working outside with his eldest brother all the year round, few people in the village know about it, but Wei Sanniang heard Xiang's mention last time that Wang Changsheng only gave Wang Changsheng pocket money and never paid his salary.
Presumably, the harsh brother in Xiang's mouth refers to Wang Changchang.
However, what is your own life? Wei Sanniang didn't understand this, what does it have to do with selling pigs.
Xiang's face was resentful, she needed to vent too much, the village increased the collection of chrysanthemum, and the Wang family did not live better because of this day, but because Wang Changsheng's sick silver was almost about to shine, Xiang's was tortured to the point of physical and mental exhaustion. She resents this mother-in-law and this family too much!
She didn't want Wei Sanniang to talk, she complained to herself, and wiped her tears as she spoke: "...... They all live in the same yard, why can't the pig buyer help me sell the pig? Otherwise, it would be better to go to the mountains to look for me, knowing that there is a patient at home that I have to take care of both inside and outside, and there is a child. Can a word of the word tire her out? It is said that the emperor loves the eldest son, and the people love the eldest son, why don't I think anyone puts our parents and children in their hearts...... I owe it to me for two seasons of farm work a year, and I am tired and busy with her...... What did the Boss do again? I didn't do anything, for so many years in this family, where is it not taken care of by me and Changsheng, only selling a pig and refusing to help, am I still bad for her...... Why am I so miserable...... Woowoo woo ......"
At this time, Wei Sanniang understood, it turned out that Mrs. Wang had come to buy fat pigs, and it happened that the Xiang family had gone up the mountain, and the old lady Wang did not let people go to find the Xiang family. Didn't help Xiang's sell pigs. Don't talk about Xiang's. Even Wei Sanniang is a little puzzled, with a gesture, why does the Xiang family refuse to help his son and daughter-in-law?
"Don't cry, hurt yourself!" It's hard to say anything else. Wei Sanniang could only comfort Xiang briefly .
“…… Sanniang. You don't know......" Xiang's nose moistened with tears: "I haven't had a good life since I married into this family." looked at her mother-in-law's eyes all day long, and she couldn't please the tired horse back then. No one will help me with such a small thing...... He still needs silver for his immortal illness, but all the money in his house has been used up. Let me go where to find the silver, and the ...... whose conscience was eaten by a dog" Xiang suddenly turned angry and scolded angrily: "Changsheng has worked for the child and his uncle for so many years, and he has never given silver, the last time I went to the market to find him, he only gave me a few hundred copper plates, and I spent it after buying a few medicines." Now I want him to lend us another piece of silver, he gritted his teeth and didn't let go, we have been saddled for him for so many years, and it's not even worth a tael of silver? ……”
Wei Sanniang had expected this ending.
The two sat in the courtyard, Xiang's crying and crying, after all, he didn't dare to be too loud for the sake of face, and he lowered his voice to make people feel even more sad. Wei Sanniang couldn't comment on Old Lady Wang and Wang Changchang, so she only said a few words of comfort to Xiang's family. She wanted to leave immediately, but Xiangshi pulled her and put her in a dilemma.
The room over there was quiet, and I didn't know if anyone was there.
After crying for a while, Wang Changsheng in the room walked out, he stood by the threshold of the hall, held the threshold with one hand, frowned at the Xiang clan outside, and said coldly: "What about the mourning?" ”
The voice was hoarse, some as ugly as tearing out the throat. He was wearing a wide coat, and when he walked, his clothes were swinging around, and he thought that the clothes were too big, but in fact he was too thin, and now he was wearing a winter coat, and he could faintly see the protrusion of the bones at his shoulders.
The whole person is so thin that he has no two taels of meat. But look at his face again, he has gained a lot of weight, it is abnormal fat, it is facial puffiness, eye bubbles, and the whole face seems to be swollen. And his clothes were empty and loose, but his belly was slightly bulging, like a pregnant woman who was pregnant in April.
Wei Sanniang's eyes jumped in shock, and she almost exclaimed.
How did Wang Changsheng become like this?
Wang Changsheng glanced at Wei Sanniang coldly, turned around and went back to the house. Xiangshi looked at Wei Sanniang embarrassedly, and Wei Sanniang hurriedly put away the surprise on his face.
Xiangshi was not angry, and said to her with a wry smile: "Changsheng's illness is getting worse and worse. ”
Wei Sanniang's heart was turbulent, but she didn't dare to show it on her face, so she only said insincerely: "Brother Changsheng's spirit looks pretty good, but it's too thin." ”
"We didn't know what to do. He said all day that his stomach was swollen, and he wanted to eat but couldn't eat, and the doctor changed a lot, but none of them gave him the right words. ”
Just looking at the belly that swells like a ball, there is a problem, how can you eat. I don't know what kind of strange illness Wang Changsheng is.
Wei Sanniang pursed her white lips and forced a smile to talk to Xiang's, but her eyes carefully observed Xiang's complexion, and found that her face was red as always, full of energy, and there was no sign of illness at all.
After sitting at Xiang's house for a while, Wei Sanniang endured her impatience, said goodbye to Xiang's family with a smile, and walked out of Wang's house, she hurried home.
***
Since the last two orders, there has been no news from the sewing shop. When she went to the market in the morning, she specially asked for silver from Wei Sanniang, bought some cheap muslin back, cut and cut it, and made countless small bags, each bag could hold a piece of eiderdown. Then put these small bags together, and when you need them, you only need to take them out and use them, which also saves the time of weighing duck down.
Dozens of pounds of eiderdown, this is a big project. It happened that the fox fence was also at home, and the fox Xiaomei mobilized the whole family to do it.
Fox Otomo is called duck down. Fox Fence and Thirteen help to pour and pretend. The fox cuts the cloth, and the fox fence incense sews a small cloth bag.
A small cloth bag with four or two duck down, the first small cloth bag specifications are made, the back is much simpler, the cloth is cut into a boxy line, the cloth is neatly put together, and so all the cloth is cut, and the fox Xiaomei also joins the ranks of sewing cloth bags.
When the five of them were in full swing, they saw Wei Sanniang hurriedly walking in, and as soon as she entered the yard, she went straight to the kitchen. In the blink of an eye, he walked out of the kitchen again. Standing at the gate of the courtyard, far away from Hu Xiaomei and the others, Hu Xiaomei and the others looked at her inexplicably.
Wei Sanniang had countless questions and panic in her heart, no matter what, if Wang Changsheng really had a terrible infectious disease. She also has to protect her three children at home.
I saw Wei Sanniang call the fox over and muttered for a while. The look on Fox Dayo's face became more and more serious. Then Wei Sanniang went out of the yard, Hu Xiaomei called her from behind, and Wei Sanniang walked out of the yard without looking back. I don't know where to go either.
Wei Sanniang went out of the yard, Fox Dayou entered the kitchen with a straight face, and after a while, Fox Xiaomei and others saw smoke rising from the roof of the kitchen!
Several people looked at each other, and Hu Xiaomei put down what she was doing and went into the kitchen.
In the kitchen, Fox Dayou is boiling water, just after noon, it is impossible to cook dinner so early, Fox Xiaomei is very strange what this big pot of water is boiling?
Fox Dayou frowned and said, "Hot clothes." ”
What?
"What are you burning?"
"Your mother's ......"
Then Wei Sanniang went to Xiang's family, and Wang Chang was seriously ill briefly.
The two were worried about whether Wang Changsheng had a strange disease, and they didn't know if it would be contagious, although Xiang's looked fine, for the sake of prudence, the two decided to scald all the clothes on Wei Sanniang's body with boiling water.
It's the right thing to do!
However, Hu Xiaomei felt that Wang Changsheng should not have a terrible infectious disease, his stomach was bulging, and he should have ascites in his body, so it was inferred that he probably had a disease such as the lungs.
If it is really lung cancer, it cannot be completely cured in the era of rapid development of modern medicine, let alone this backward ancient time.
Moreover, Wang Changsheng's symptoms should be at an advanced stage of lung cancer.
Xiang's first husband married badly, and divorced, and now Wang Changsheng has this disease, it is estimated that he will not last long, and the widowed woman is dragging a child, and her mother-in-law does not like it, she is really a woman with a hard life.
Yu Qi let Hu Dayou and Wei Sanniang speculate like this, it is better to ask Wei Dahe.
Listening to Hu Xiaomei's words, Fox Dayou's eyes lit up and said, "It's still our second child who is smart." ”
Then Fox Otomo went to Weijia Village. Hu Xiaomei continued to do the work in hand, and the three of them immediately came over to ask her what was wrong, and they all felt incredible after learning about Wang Changsheng's illness.
Fox Lixiang even agreed with Fox Dayou and Wei Sanniang's approach: "Since I don't know what the disease is, our family has to stay away from their house in the future." Then he specially instructed Thirteen: "I don't know what is going on here, you like to help people work on weekdays, for the sake of everyone's health, you will not go out for a while." ”
Thirteen frowned slightly, but still responded: "Okay." ”
And the fox fence was a little frightened and said: "In this case, I will play with Xiaobao less in the future." ”
was originally playing well and suddenly became estranged, which not only made Wang Xiaobao misunderstand, but also caused bad rumors.
Hu Xiaomei had no choice but to persuade him euphemistically: "Uncle Changsheng's illness has not been a day or two, and Aunt Xiang and Xiaobao have been fine, which proves that his disease should not be contagious, but Daddy did it for the sake of prudence." If you don't want to play with Xiaobao, you have to be more obscure, don't make a big show of Xiaobao's kindness and make people talk about it. It also embarrassed Xiaobao. ”
Fox Fence nodded knowingly: "I know." ”
Two pieces of wood were placed in the stove, the water in the pot boiled after a while, and Fox Dayou also came back from Weijia Village, and his face was much better than when he went out.
Although Wei Dahe couldn't diagnose Wang Changsheng's specific illness, he could also see a point or two.
"I'm afraid his disease is not cured, if there is a little money at home, maybe he can still hang his life, but unfortunately we poor people can't afford this rich disease...... As for whether it will be contagious, based on my decades of experience in medicine, it should not be ...... It's always a good idea to be careful, though......"
After Wei Sanniang came back, she still took a shower, and threw the changed clothes into the boiling water to soak for a while before taking them out.
Although with Wei Dahe's words, Fox Dayou and Wei Sanniang still felt that they had to be careful. At night, the two of them lay on the bed and thought about how to quietly stop interacting with Xiang for the time being. As a result, on the morning of the second day, Xiang Shi came over. (To be continued......)
