Chapter Forty-Four: Brother An Is Sick
Jiao Niang sneered in her heart, is this using Brother An to threaten her?
The two of them were glued, and suddenly stumbled in from outside, and one of them screamed, "Madame is not good, it is not good." β
Ji Shi twisted his eyebrows and tilted his head, and Jiao Niang took her hand back, "What's such a fuss, won't you talk well!" Ji reprimanded.
The man hurriedly said, "Madam, it's not good, little boy, little boy, he-"
"What's wrong with Brother An?" Jiao Niang suddenly got up, stepped forward with an arrow, grabbed the woman's arm, the woman was in pain, she couldn't speak, she hurriedly said: "Say it quickly, what's wrong with Brother An?"
"The little boy suddenly had a fever and is now unconscious. β
When Jiao Niang heard this, her face turned pale in an instant, she tore the woman apart and went straight to Brother An's room.
Ji was still stunned, and only came back to his senses when he saw Jiao Niang running out, and reprimanded: "How did you serve the little boy?
The woman knelt down and cried, "The slave and maid don't know, but the little boy's stomach is a little uncomfortable when he gets up early this morning...... only to find that he couldn't wake up anymore. β
"Useless thing!" Ji Shi was furious, "Come on, pull her down for me, and hit the twenty boards hard." β
When the old lady sent Brother An here, she only said that she would let her be raised for a few days to adapt to it, and she was not determined to die, if Brother An had three long and two short, and he couldn't raise him, I was afraid that this family would not know how to complain about her.
I recited Amitabha Buddha in my heart, and hurried over to look at Brother An.
After hearing the letter, the old lady and Hua Jintang came over, Brother An's face was burning red, his whole body trembled, and he couldn't wake up no matter how he screamed with his eyes closed.
The doctor came to see him, saying that he had eaten something unclean, and he had a slight cold, so his condition worsened.
He first asked his subordinates to rub Brother An's whole body with wine, and then he prescribed a prescription to feed the medicine, and after several hours, when Brother An's fever gradually subsided, everyone was a little relieved.
Hua Jintang saw that Brother An was fine, so he helped the old lady out of the inner room and said apologetically: "I made my mother worried." β
The old lady turned to him and said, "That's how you become a father? β
Hua Jintang helped the old lady sit down and arched his hand: "What my mother taught me was that I was negligent. β
Ji knew that she could not escape the blame for today's incident, so she came out to make amends: "Please mother, don't blame the master, I didn't take good care of it." I've been unhappy these days, I don't want my subordinates to indulge wantonly, and I don't want them to be so careless about taking care of Brother An. I have punished them, and this will never happen again. β
"In the future, you dare to say that in the future, this child has only been in your country for a few days, and he has become sick like this. For Hua Jintang, the old lady was a little annoyed, but she was angry with Ji, "How did you promise me that you would take good care of Brother An before, and that's how you took care of it?"
Ji lowered his head the more, looking ashamed, Wan Niang saw this, and said: "Grandmother, how can you blame my mother for this? It was the subordinates who didn't take good care of it, which made Brother An sick, and besides, the child ate indiscriminately, who can watch it, who knows where he got some unclean things and put them in his mouth, everyone eats the same, why is everyone else okay?"
The old lady stared, ignoring Wan Niang, only at Ji's family, pointing at her nose, "I thought you were a virtuous person, and you treated your concubines equally, it seems that my wife is wrong, and I trust it to someone else." He is a four-year-old child, and he is to blame for being scolded by you when he is sick, is it my fault if I get sick one day?"
As he spoke, he asked people to go back to the room to pack their bags, "Since this is the case, I won't drag you down, now I will take Brother An back to Licheng." β
Everyone was so frightened that they hurriedly stopped her, Hua Jintang and Ji both apologized, and everyone persuaded her, which slowly subsided.
Jiao Niang has been taking care of Brother An in the back room, and when it is quiet outside, Fang Yingying comes out.
By this time she had wiped away her tears, but her eyes were still as red as rabbits.
The old lady hurriedly asked, "How is Brother An?"
Jiao Niang replied: "I'm already asleep." β
The old lady was slightly relieved, turned to look at Mama Mao, and said, "Pack up Brother An's things in a while and take them to Bailing Hall." β
"Motherβ" Hua Jintang began.
The old lady waved her hand to interrupt and said to herself: "You don't have to say anything, this child has no mother at such a young age, it's really pitiful." I thought about it, and he would follow me in the future. Although I am old, I can live for a decade or two, and I will definitely be able to raise him to adulthood. β
Ji Shi bowed his head and said, "Mother, this is to shame her daughter-in-law's face." β
She got sick after just a few days, and she was not allowed to be raised by the old lady, and this matter was going to be spread, and outsiders thought that she couldn't accommodate the children who came out of the house.
The old lady snorted coldly, "Is your face important, or is Brother An's life important?" I'm just afraid that if you continue to raise you, his life will be difficult to protect." β
Ji had a secret hatred in his heart, but he was powerless to refute it, and threw a look of help to Hua Jintang.
Hua Jintang glanced at her and considered it again and again, "Mother doesn't know, I have gone to the ancestral hall and privately recorded Brother An in Shuning's name." If Mother is raised, thisβ" he hesitated.
The old lady said: "What's this, does the ancestral family law say that grandmothers can't raise grandchildren?" Hua Jintang smiled and said yes, and the old lady turned to look at Ji, "You told me at the beginning that it was for Brother An's future to give him the identity of a son-in-law." β
Ji replied: "My daughter-in-law pities Brother An, and she also comforts Sister Ruyan, who has gone." β
"Then in that case, just put Brother An in your name, isn't it the same who raises you?"
Ji was speechless for a while, but he didn't expect the old lady to take her car directly, if she wasn't to raise Brother An, why would she give the identity of that slut's son.
Jiao Niang was overjoyed when she heard this, and hurriedly interjected: "Grandmother's idea is very good, firstly, it fulfills a piece of my mother's heart, and secondly, grandmother has Brother An to accompany her, so she can enjoy the joy of family." β
Ji listened to them sing and harmonize, and she was full of resentment, she didn't dare to contradict the old lady, so she was angry at Jiao Niang, and scolded angrily: "Bastard, how can you speak here, I am Brother An's mother, I think about everything for him, when will it be your turn to point fingers here, you are in charge of this family?"
Ji made a pun, although the reprimand was Jiao Niang, but it was not for the old lady.
Jiao Niang was so frightened that she shrank a few steps, glanced at her in fear, and snorted: "There are parents and grandmothers at home, so naturally it is not my turn to talk more, but after all, I am Brother An's own sister, since my aunt went, I probably took him with me." Mother said it was for Brother An's sake, so why shouldn't I?"
said and shed tears, "Although grandmother is usually quiet, but which old man doesn't like his children and grandchildren around his knees, if Brother An is by his grandmother's side, grandmother will not be too lonely." I am most worried about them at home, if they can't be well, how can I rest assured if I marry into the Feng family as a concubine?"
