After Picking Up the Lucky Girl, the Whole Village Became Prosperous Chapter 25

Chapter 25 Naughty

 Ying Bao held Youyou in hand and frowned as she watched her father drive away.

In his last life, his second uncle died of lung disease. At that time, his son Huzi was five years old and Ernie was eight years old.

The second aunt stayed at home for five days, then packed up her clothes and returned to her parents' home, leaving her two children at her uncle's house. It is said that she married a widower within two months to fill the house.

Now that Huzi is just three years old, his second uncle is already sick.

 Is it because of your own rebirth that the trajectory of things changed? After all, there were no Wuding Zhi, no deer, and no big fish in my previous life, and my father never went fishing with his uncle and the others.

If he hadn't gone fishing, the second uncle wouldn't have been affected by the cold, and he wouldn't have gotten sick now.

what to do? Would a gentle man like his second uncle have to die early just because of his rebirth?

Yingbao felt guilty and turned back home. She sent Youyou into the shed, returned to the house and entered the cave to continue harvesting crops.

It wasn't until noon that Jiang Sanlang came back. He went to the kitchen to scoop up hot water and washed his hands and face. Then he took out the warm food from the heating cage, placed it on the Kang table, and sat down to eat.

 “How is your second brother?” Chun Niang asked.

Jiang Sanlang shook his head and said depressedly: "It's not very good."

 “What did the doctor say?”

“The doctor said it was a lung disease. He prescribed medicine and asked him to take it first, and then go take a look after the first dose.”

Jiang Sanlang sighed as he spoke, and said angrily: "If I had known better, I wouldn't have let my second brother go fishing with me. His body is already weak, and he was so tired and cold." It would be strange not to get sick.

Chun Niang comforted her: "You won't give in if you don't give in? Brothers make money together, if he is left alone, won't people talk about it? Besides, you also know that the second sister-in-law has the weirdest temper. It makes everyone unhappy.”

Jiang Sanlang was silent, finished the meal in a few mouthfuls, wiped his mouth and lay down on the kang. He rested his hands on the pillow and thought for a long time before he said: "In any case, the second brother got the cold because he followed us fishing. Alas, his medicine money will be spent in the future. My eldest brother and I each contribute half.”

This time the second brother went to see a doctor, but the second sister-in-law didn't take a penny from her, and her mother gave her a penny.

 Luckily I received that constant amount of money, otherwise what I brought with me would not have been enough to get the medicine.

"How much money will our family pay?" Chun Niang asked tentatively, feeling uncertain.

Jiang Sanlang thought for a while and said: "A dose of medicine costs more than 800 yuan, which is not the best. I guess it will cost two or three doses."

One dose of medicine can only be used for three to five days. My second brother's condition is so serious that he will need to take seven or eight doses at least.

 Eight doses of medicine cost more than six thousand dollars. He and his eldest brother split it equally, which cost each family more than three thousand dollars.

"This...a dose of medicine actually costs so much?" Chun Niang was surprised, "Isn't it usually twenty or thirty cents per dose for colds and coughs?"

"The medicine contains ginseng slices and donkey-hide gelatin. The doctor said that the second brother's illness needs to be treated slowly, and ginseng and donkey-hide gelatin are essential." Jiang Sanlang said depressedly.

 After hesitating for a while, he turned to his wife and said, "Chun Niang, the second brother is seriously ill this time. The eldest brother and I can't just sit idly by, so...you should be more considerate."

"I know." Chun Niang lowered her eyes, stood up and opened the cash box: "Then... how much does it cost?"

Jiang Sanlang waved his hand and said, "There's no rush for now. When I ask the doctor to come for a follow-up consultation in three days, you can give it to me again."

"good."

Chunniang agreed, but she couldn't help but feel pain in her heart.

 I finally saved some money, but before I could save it, I changed hands and had to take it out again, alas.

  But what can be done? The husband and brothers were very close friends. Seeing that Erlang was seriously ill, how could they just watch him die?

 Two days later, Jiang Erlang's condition not only did not improve, but became more serious.

Erni ran to her uncle's house early in the morning, crying and begging her grandparents to save her father.

Mrs. Jiang Liu held her granddaughter in her arms and cried to her husband: "Old man, please think of a way, wuwuwuwu... Erlang is only thirty years old..."

"I'll go take a look." Old man Jiang felt uncomfortable, so he got up and walked out.

Mrs. Jiang Liu wiped away her tears and followed with her eldest son. Jiang Erlang's family.

Jiang Sanlang was holding a bowl and preparing to feed his second brother some medicine. When he saw his parents and eldest brother coming in, he put the medicine bowl on the small table and made room for them.

"Second son, how are you?" Mrs. Jiang Liu stepped forward, grabbed her second son's hand, and choked with sobs: "My son, if you feel uncomfortable, tell your mother."

At this time, Jiang Erlang's eyes were sunken, his cheeks were thin and deformed, his lips were trembling and he could not speak. He only watched his parents crying silently.

"Erlang." Mrs. Jiang Liu touched her son's face and burst into tears, "You should drink the medicine well. I will ask your third brother to go to the town to hire a doctor. Don't be afraid, good boy, you will be fine..."

 Jiang Erlang nodded feebly.

Seeing that his son was so weak, Old Man Jiang couldn't help but burst into tears. He quickly wiped it with his sleeves a few times, stepped forward and touched his son's head, and comforted him: "Erlang, it's okay. You just have cold and fever. It's no big deal. In a few days, It will be better in the future, ah…”

Jiang Erlang's tears rolled down his face and he hummed softly.

Ying Bao, who followed secretly, felt very sad when she saw this.

Looking at her grandma and second uncle, and then at her uncle and dad, whose eyes were red, she sneaked to the small table, and when no one was paying attention, she quietly put a large handful of Wudingzhi that had been pounded into juice into the medicine bowl. Picked up a spoon and stirred.

 She was suddenly tapped on the head, which startled her.

Looking up, it turned out to be dad.

"Don't be naughty." Jiang Sanlang saw his daughter stirring the medicine bowl and thought she was being naughty, so he led her out and said, "Go home quickly."

Yingbao nodded and said seriously to his father: "Second uncle will be fine. Dad, please give him a good drink of medicine and don't spill it."

"Father knows." Jiang Sanlang took his daughter out of the house and whispered: "Baoer, go home and tell your mother that I will go to town later and ask her to hand over some money."

"Um!"

Yingbao was about to go home when she heard Leng's crying and cursing from the east room:

 "Use your fake good intentions! Woo woo woo... one by one the weasels are giving New Year greetings to the chicken. Boo hoo hoo, my life is so miserable..."

Ying Bao frowned.

This second uncle really doesn't understand the truth.

 She had little contact with Mr. Leng in her previous life, so she didn't know she had such a temperament.

My husband was sick, so I just didn't take care of him. But when I saw my third uncle giving medicine, feeding and protecting him day and night, he actually uttered evil words.

Yingbao felt bored and walked out of the door with her short legs. She saw Erni standing at the door wiping her tears and three-year-old Huzi squatting on the ground and playing in the snow, her little hands as cold as steamed buns.

Seeing Ying Bao, Huzi ran over and reached out to grab the pigtails on her tiger hat.

Yingbao:…

Pushing the kid's hand away, and just about to slap him, he suddenly remembered that this kid had protected himself and his younger brother in his previous life.

 After a pause, he took out a washed large water chestnut from his pocket and gave it to him, "Here you go, it's sweet."

Hu Zi took the water chestnut and took a bite. Even the skin was fragrant. He smiled and said, "Have a good time."

Yingbao rubbed her nose and ran out of the courtyard quickly.

 When I got home, I told my grandma what my father had told me, and climbed on the kang to play with my younger brother.

　 with his fair face and cute face, he also loves to smile. When he saw me coming, his calves kicked up with joy.

Chunniang opened the cash box, took out a lot of money, and hurriedly went out to give it to her husband.
