Chapter 52: Turning the Tide of Danger
In the last life, she was miserable for half her life, and if she repeats the same mistakes in this life, what is the point of her being reborn? Tang Chu kept telling himself that people or things that didn't belong to him would never be forced again, wasn't there enough suffering he had suffered?
After a while, Zou Shiyan stopped talking nonsense, and Shuangxi also rushed back, and she took Zou Shichu to boil medicine outside.
"Lang Zhong, Zou Gongzi is getting better, I see that he is already starting to sweat," Tang Chu said.
Lang Zhong checked Zou Shiyan's pulse and said, "Yes, the pulse is stable, just pour a large amount of sugar and salt water into him later." ”
Tang Chu trusted this old man very much, and when he saw that he said that Zou Shiyan was fine, he was a little less worried.
Shuangxi handed over all the medicine packets he bought to Zou Shichu, and said to him carefully, "Chu'er, there are a total of ten packets of medicine here, and you will fry three packets of your brother every day, remember that each pack should be boiled for more than an hour, remember?" ”
Zou Shichu nodded seriously and said, "Remember, Sister Shuangxi." ”
"Good boy, after taking these medicines, your brother will get better soon, don't be sad anymore!" Tang Chu gently pinched the tender flesh on Zou Shichu's cheeks.
"Double Happiness, did I let you buy the ingredients and bring them back?" Tang Chu looked around in the small room, but there were no ingredients.
"Oops, I put it in the carriage and forgot to take it out!" Shuangxi patted his head and said.
"Hurry up and take a look, don't let anyone else take it!" Tang Chu said meaningfully.
Shuangxi ran out of the house with a smoke, hurriedly opened the curtain of the carriage, and saw that the ingredients were still there, and couldn't help exhaling a breath of turbidity.
This poor mountain and bad water come out of the people, and it can't stand that someone really dares to steal.
These rice and noodle ingredients were bought by Tang Chu and asked Shuangxi to buy them for Zou Shiyan, although there is medicine, Zou Shiyan's body still needs to be well nourished.
"Sister, thank you, when Chu'er grows up, he is willing to go to the soup for you, and he will not hesitate."
Seeing Zou Shichu's appearance of pretending to be a little adult, Tang Chu couldn't help but smile, the children of poor families have long been in charge, and it is pitiful that he has to bear the maturity that does not match his age at a young age
"Good boy, my sister doesn't need you to repay you, as long as you study hard and gain fame in the future, everyone will be happy for you." Tang Chu said with a smile.
"Chu'er knows that when she goes to the school in the future, Chu'er will definitely study hard! So that no one will bully me and my brother! Zou Shichu swore that after saying this, he cried a handful of snot and tears, which shows that today's events have really hit this child.
Tang Chu comforted him and said, "Chu'er, what you have to do now is to take good care of your brother, and when your brother recovers from his illness, he will return to the restaurant as a shopkeeper, and you must also study hard, only when you become strong can you not rely on others." ”
Zou Shichu obviously listened to Tang Chu's words, he wiped away his tears and didn't cry anymore, "I know, Sister Tang, Chu'er will be obedient"
Seeing that Zou Shiyan had improved, Tang Chu was ready to leave.
Before leaving, Tang Chu also specially warned the uncle and aunt of the Zou family that if the things she gave to Zou Shichu were robbed, with the power of her Tang family, the other party would definitely be discredited in Jiangzhou City and have nowhere to survive.
The uncle and aunt of the Zou family were afraid of the situation and did not reply, and only after Tang Chu left did they scold, "Little Nizi, who is a bully, the old lady will not worry about that little thing......"
Although the uncle and aunt of the Zou family coveted that pile of ingredients, they didn't have the courage to attack Zou Shichu again.
As soon as Tang Chu left on the front foot, a girl came to the Zou family on the back foot, she was wearing floral coarse cloth clothes and wrapped her little feet, and her appearance was also top-notch in this village.
I saw her carrying a vegetable basket and taking small steps to Zou Shiyan's house.
"Xiao Chu, I heard that your brother is sick, how is he now?"
Zou Shichu was cooking porridge, but he heard a female voice asking him, Zou Shichu turned around and said, "Sister Qingqing, why are you here?" ”
"I'm here to see your brother, my mother heard that your brother was sick when she was at the entrance of the village, so she asked me to bring a few eggs to visit." The girl's voice seemed worried.
"Brother is much better, thank you Sister Qingqing!" Zou Shichu politely thanked him.
Li Qingqing walked into the back room and saw that Zou Shiyan was still unconscious, and couldn't help but show a sad face.
She has liked Zou Shiyan since she was a child, the other party is a talent, literate and hyphenated, able to write and martial arts, which is already the best choice for her husband's family in her heart.
But who knew that an epidemic took away Zou Shiyan's parents, and he also fell into the middle of the family, and his parents saw that Zou Shiyan and Miss Tang were entangled, so they naturally stopped mentioning the marriage contract.
"If you want to complain, blame yourself for your own misery, otherwise my parents will not keep silent about our marriage." Looking at Zou Shiyan's handsome face, Li Qingqing muttered, and couldn't help but stroke his cheeks.
For Zou Shiyan, although she is reluctant to give up, she feels very lucky, looking at the dilapidated house where Zou Shiyan and his brother live now, if she marries according to the marriage contract, will she also survive here, living a miserable life, and there is a life of last and no next meal.
The more she thought about it in her heart, the more reasonable she felt, Li Qingqing told herself that if she wanted to marry, she would marry a rich man, she had lived enough poor days, and she didn't want to live again.
Although she is illiterate, her appearance is one of the best in this village, and her father and mother have long said that they will look at people for her this year, and they must let her marry into a rich and wealthy family, and when the time comes, they will eat and drink spicy food.
Thinking about the days to come, Li Qingqing suddenly felt that her little liking for Zou Shiyan was nothing, where could she compare to the joy brought to her by the glory and wealth in the future!
"Sister Qingqing, what are you doing?" Zou Shichu boiled the medicine and was about to bring it into the house, but saw Li Qingqing's hand on his brother's neck.
Frightened, Zou Shichu hurriedly put down the medicine bowl and stepped forward to vigorously push Li Qingqing's hand away.
Li Qingqing was also taken aback, but soon she came to her senses and said with a somewhat shy expression, "Chu'er, I saw that your brother had something on his neck, and I just wanted to take it for him." ”
Zou Shichu glanced at her suspiciously.
Li Qingqing spread his hand, and a small piece of sawdust was placed on it.
Zou Shi scratched his head when he saw this, "I'm sorry Sister Qingqing, I blame you." ”
"It's okay, Chu'er, you also care about it," Li Qingqing said pretending to be generous.
Zou Shichu smiled, picked up the medicine bowl and fed his brother the medicine little by little.
Li Qingqing didn't mean to leave, but chatted with Zou Shichu without saying a word, only to hear her ask casually, "Chu'er, when I came just now, I saw two carriages parked in front of your house, who are they?" ”
Zou Shichu didn't think much about it, and replied truthfully, "That's Miss Tang's carriage." ”
"Does Miss Tang still want to marry your brother?" Li Qingqing couldn't help but ask.
Since she heard that the eldest lady of the Tang family was pestering Zou Shiyan, although she was sad, she didn't know how ecstatic she was, so that in the future, others would only think that it was the Tang family who bullied her to dissolve the marriage contract, and their family would not have to be discussed by the neighbors.
"No, the marriage contract is dissolved, Sister Qingqing, you still have to marry my brother." Zou Shichu said with some malice, of course he didn't want Li Qingqing to marry his brother, so he just said that he was just venting his evil anger.
Zou Shichu also knew about the original marriage contract at a young age, and heard his brother say that the conditions of his family were okay back then, and they were also among the few families in this village, and Li Qingqing's parents stammered to set the marriage between the two, but after the parents passed away, their family kept silent about it.
After listening to Zou Shichu's words, Li Qingqing was speechless for a while, and he didn't know what to say.
"Chu'er, don't talk about adults all the time in your children's family." Li Qingqing held back for a long time, so she had to say so.
She looked at the unconscious Zou Shiyan with pity, and couldn't help but sigh for the other party while grieving for the other party.
