Chapter 44: Expensive Medicine
"Okay, it's okay, go to sleep, it's not early, I don't dare to say anything more tonight." Su Qing helped Xie Wanjun fold the quilt, and both of them fell asleep.
On the other side, Zhao went back to the house to see Su Dong go back and lay on the bed to sleep by himself without looking at her, she cried for a while and still ignored it, so she could only lie down next to Su Dong by herself.
She definitely couldn't sleep this night, her face was really embarrassed today, and now her husband is still treating her like this, she really doesn't know what to do, all this is to blame Xie Wanjun.
It must have been Xie Wanjun who deliberately harmed her, deliberately set a trap for her to drill. And the sound was so loud last night, the neighbors must have heard it, and they all knew that Su Dong beat her, and her people were really lost, how to see people when she went out in the future, and someone would point fingers at her when she went to the street.
"Xie Wanjun, this revenge is not a gentleman!"
Zhao didn't fall asleep until almost dawn, she only knew that she was putting the responsibility on Xie Wanjun, but she never thought that she was going to take Xie Wanjun's lamb away, and no one forced her.
When Zhao woke up the next day, the quilt around him was already cold, and it seemed that Su Dong had been up for a while.
Zhao first cleaned up the bed, planning to take the water to wash, suddenly remembered Shenma, and took out the bronze mirror in the drawer, yesterday I was worried that my face would be swollen this morning, but today I saw that it was indeed swollen, plus I slept for an hour and a half last night, and now my eyes are swollen and the dark circles are very deep. Especially the face, although Zhao's face is not as delicate as Xie Wanjun's, Su Dong was extremely ruthless yesterday, and now Zhao's face is swollen and his mouth hurts.
"My face...... Woowoo woo ......"
Zhao returned to the quilt, thinking that if she was beaten like this, if she went out, she didn't know how Xie Wanjun's woman laughed at her, she had to wait for Su Dong to call him to eat, and this face had to be saved.
After waiting for half an hour, Zhao saw that no one had come to ask her to eat, and her stomach was hungry. couldn't help but get out of bed and secretly open a crack in the door, only to know that they had already started eating, and no one came to call her, even her husband Su Dong didn't care about her, she used to be angry Su Dong would coax her, but now it has become like this.
"Today's meal is so delicious......"
"Isn't it?" ……
The smell of the food and the sound of talking and laughing came, which made Zhao feel aggrieved and couldn't help crying. Now she feels the rejection of the whole family, they are talking and laughing there, eating happily, and hearing Xie Wanjun's flattering voice, but no one has come to ask her to eat, how will she live in this family in the future.
"Xie Wanjun, you woman!"
She Zhao really couldn't pull her down to go out to eat by herself, so she went back to the bed and planned to pretend to be sick, thinking that maybe Su Dong saw that she slept late yesterday and wanted her to sleep more today so he didn't wake her up, maybe he left her a meal and brought it to her for a while, thinking about it, in the end, he couldn't resist the sleepiness, and fell asleep again.
When I woke up again, it was estimated that it was almost noon, and my stomach was very empty after not eating in the morning, Zhao couldn't help it, and pushed open the door to see that only Su Qing was washing vegetables in the yard, and Su Dong was nowhere to be seen.
"Big brother, what about Su Dong and others?"
Su Qing didn't raise his head, "I went up the mountain to hunt in the morning, and I haven't come back yet." After speaking, he picked up the washed dishes and entered the kitchen, and then the laughter of Su Qing and Xie Wanjun sounded in the kitchen.
When Zhao returned to the house, he felt more and more unfair, and covered the bed and cried.
At noon, the sun was exceptionally abundant, and the yard was warm.
Xie Wanjun had just finished feeding the little lamb, wiping the hair wet from her ears, looking up at the white clouds in the sky, taking two deep breaths, her lips curled with pleasure.
Looking at the bright sunshine, she suddenly remembered that it was time for those mushrooms to be watered, so she rolled up her sleeves and walked straight to the planting shed.
She heard her man shouting in the old lady's room, "Mother, mother! What's wrong with you? The voice filled Xie Wanjun's eardrums with infinite panic.
She had no time to think about it, so she threw down her scoop and ran quickly to the old lady's room, and her heart suddenly beat fiercely.
As soon as I arrived at the door, I saw Mrs. Su's face pale, beads of sweat the size of beans rolling down her forehead, her somewhat shriveled lips trembled and she couldn't speak, and her godless eyes stared blankly at the roof of the shed.
Su Qing, a man from his own family, hugged Mrs. Su tightly and shouted loudly, his face was red in a hurry, and the sweat was also flowing onto his clothes, and he had no time to take care of it.
"Mother, what's wrong?" Xie Wanjun's eyes widened, and she hurriedly stepped forward to check.
Old Lady Su's lips trembled, and she was speechless.
"My mother's illness has flareed up again! Mother! After Su Qing answered, he kept shouting, and his anxious tears came down.
Xie Wanjun saw that the situation was not good, and hurriedly reminded his man, "It's useless to shout like this, go to the doctor with your mother behind your back!" ”
Only then did Su Qing react, and he was about to go out with his mother on his back, and at this moment Su Youshan also ran in, helping Su Qing to help Mrs. Su onto his back, and he also wanted to go with him.
Xie Wanjun felt that it was not good to let Old Man Su go, he walked slowly, so he hurriedly persuaded him, "Dad, you are at home, I will go with Su Qing!" After speaking, he hurriedly chased out, his heart was even more bottomless, and his heartbeat became more and more powerful.
By the time they got to the doctor, both of them were sweating profusely and panting.
When he entered the house, Su Qing shouted, "Doctor, hurry up and see my mother!" The sweat on his face was like washing, and he couldn't care about it, and he could hear it outside the loud room.
Old Mrs. Su closed her eyes tightly at the moment, her face was already sallow, and beads of sweat were still flowing down.
The old gentleman with a goatee hurriedly walked over and asked Su Qing to put Mrs. Su on the bed, and then began to check the pulse, while also carefully checking Mrs. Su's face and pupils.
Su Qing and Xie Wanjun stood with their hands down, as if their breathing was about to stop, and they looked straight at the unconscious old man, as if they could only hear their heartbeat.
It didn't take long to take the pulse, and the two of them seemed to have waited for a long time, and they didn't seem to move until the moment the doctor spoke.
"The old lady's illness is not light!" The doctor's brow furrowed, and his goatee fiddled with his shriveled hands.
"Then you have to find a way to cure the disease? Doctor! Su Qing stepped forward and grabbed the old gentleman's shriveled palm and kept shaking.
Xie Wanjun was also on the side, and there was a slight sweat on his nose, "Yes, doctor, hurry up and find a way, money is not a problem!" The beautiful autumn eyes looked at the old gentleman, and there was infinite supplication in his eyes.
"I'm a doctor, my duty is to save the life and help the wounded, whether you ask for it or not, I will do my best, this old lady's illness is indeed very serious, and the medicinal materials used are also very valuable, you have to be prepared?" The old gentleman said earnestly, and he could already see that Xie Wanjun's clothes were not from wealthy people, lest she would not be able to pay for the medicine.
Xie Wanjun took another step forward, "Doctor, just grab the medicine!" It's important to save your life, as I said just now, we won't give you less money than we think! ”
Su Qing nodded vigorously on the side, and begged, "We will definitely give you the money, save my mother's life!" ”
"Okay, I'll grab the medicine, you can rest assured." After the old gentleman finished speaking, he didn't dare to slack off, so he hurried to the back room to grab the medicine, and comforted the two of them before the figure disappeared behind the screen.
Xie Wanjun gently wiped the sweat on Mrs. Su's face, and kept comforting her nervous and restless man.
Su Qing kept walking on the ground, looking at his mother from time to time, and peeking behind the screen, the old gentleman was very busy.
"Don't worry! Soon, I think the two of us will have enough silver, right? Xie Wanjun is not very sure in her heart, no matter what, it is important to get the medicine to treat the disease first, and the medicine money can be solved no matter how you think of it.
Looking at Mrs. Su's closed eyes, the two of them were even more nervous.
The doctor finally came out from behind the screen, carrying two large bags of medicinal herbs in his hand, "These medicines are taken for half a month, and if you take them twice a day, it should be nothing, and there are fifty taels of silver." He handed the medicine to Xie Wanjun and said word by word.
Xie Wanjun was very surprised after hearing this, she didn't expect to use so much money, she reached into her arms and took out the rest of her money last time, which was only more than thirty taels, she looked at her man with some gloom, and her heart was really bottomless.
Of course, Su Qing understood what she meant, and hurriedly reached into his arms, groping for a long time, before taking out the only belongings he had, counting them carefully, plus his wife's, and still paying two or three taels of silver.
Xie Wanjun saw that the silver was enough, so she was relieved.
The doctor put away the money and immediately instructed, "Hurry up and go back to boiling medicine!" Don't delay any longer! The shriveled hand was still waving.
"Thank you, doctor!" After Xie Wanjun finished speaking, he helped Mrs. Su onto her man's back and ran back.
At this moment, despite the heat outside, they couldn't take a break and returned home in one go.
Xie Wanjun didn't dare to boil the medicine for a moment, Su Qing settled the old lady on the bed, and Su Youshan and Su Dong came to visit.
Su Youshan kept asking questions, very concerned, "How is your mother?" What did the doctor say? He stared at his wife, his face changing slightly.
"The doctor said that it is not light, but the medicine I got back can cure my mother's disease, you can rest assured, it's okay." Su Qing replied with a smile, wanting to reassure her father.
"That's good, that's good." Su Youshan let out a sigh of relief, muttered silently, and stayed here to look at his wife.
Seeing this, Su Qing went out to help Xie Wanjun boil medicine, she was very grateful to her, she worked a lot for this family, and felt very warm in her heart, Xie Wanjun also felt the same way, so she didn't care about being a little tired, her husband was more important to her than anything.
