The Daily Life of the Daughter of a Minor Official Chapter 8

 Chapter 8 Fainting

Su Ruojin asked her to do double confinement.

 “How can that be done?” Cheng Yingzhen saw her daughter running around all day long, and her whole body became black and thin.

Su Ruojin:…

 Why are you so dark and thin? It's just that she got exercise to grow taller, and it can't be dark. She just talks, and Shu Tongshu does the rest by himself. She is still the white and tender little baby, okay?

"Why haven't you lost weight? You get up every day before dawn to fry fried dough sticks. Even adults can't endure it like you." Her child is suffering too much. She has to be the head of the family at the age of six. It's all useless for her as a mother.

As he spoke, Cheng Yingzhen shed tears.

Su Ruojin:…

 She didn't feel any pain at all! In ancient times, there were no electronic devices. You would go to bed at night and wake up at five in the morning. It was not too early! Besides, she is not really a child. She really wants to find something to do. She can not only be idle but also earn a little money to support her family. It would be great to kill two birds with one stone!

Su Ruojin quickly comforted her frail mother. She had been having a hard time in the past few years and kept giving birth to babies. Her body was really hollowed out. Isn't it said that confinement period can nourish the body? Hurry up and take advantage of confinement period. Her body is well maintained.

"That won't work either." Cheng Yingzhen struggled to get out of the bedroom. She couldn't let a six-year-old child serve her. She was her daughter, not her slave. She had to go to the kitchen to cook. It was her role as the housewife to take care of the family. responsibility.

Cheng Yingzhen was reluctant to let her child suffer and insisted on going out. The two brothers and sisters of the Su family pulled one arm and refused to let her leave the bedroom.

The children are sensible, and Cheng Yingzhen couldn't bear to let her eight-year-old son and six-year-old daughter take charge of the house. She even wanted to go to the kitchen. But when she got to the door and was about to reach out to lift the door curtain, she suddenly fell top-heavy to the ground, which scared Su An and turned sideways. He used his back to support his mother who had fainted.

Su Ruojin also hugged Cheng Yingzhen tightly, who was about to slide to the ground, "Mom..."

The two brothers and sister screamed urgently. The three-year-old Su Sanlang Su Ganzhi, who was teasing his younger brother, turned pale with fright and looked towards his brother and sister.

“Forrest Gump, go next door and call for help.” The two siblings were too small to lift their mother who fainted. Su Ruojin quickly asked her three-year-old brother to ask for help.

Seeing his mother's eyes closed tightly and her face looking frighteningly pale, three-year-old Su Ganzhi cried in fright, "Mother... mother..." He didn't know how to ask for help.

 He cried, and so did his little brother Su Chengzhi, who was just one month old.

 Suddenly, the bedroom became a mess.

This is not going to work. Su Ruojin hurriedly thought of a way, and suddenly found her mother at the threshold. She pursed her lips and came up with a solution. She squatted on the ground with her hands along her waist, and put her legs against the door frame. will slide down.

“Brother, please support me for a while and I'll be back soon.”

After saying that, she ran out of the yard like the wind and went to the next door to ask for help, "Aunt Xue, Mother Feng..." After knocking for half a minute but no sound was heard from the door, she ran to the right and knocked on the door and shouted, "Aunt Yang, Aunt Zhang..." There seemed to be no movement.

Just when Su Ruojin was about to go back to the left neighbor and knock on the door again, the door opened, and the old doorkeeper of the Xue family came out wearing his outer robe and asked, "Second wife of the Su family, what are you..."

“My mother fainted and my brother and I can't move it. Please ask Mother Feng to help me.”

 Mother Feng is the mother-in-law of the Xue family.

It turned out that we were in trouble. The old man said quickly, "You go back first. I will call Mother Feng over right away."

"Thank you very much, old man." Su Ruojin ran her legs and was about to enter the courtyard door. The door to the right room also opened. Mrs. Yang took Aunt Zhang out of the courtyard with her skirt lifted. "Jin Niang, what's wrong with your mother?"

 “Mom fainted.” Su Ruojin's tears couldn't stop flowing down in the cold wind.

Mrs. Yang's expression was condensed, and as she hurried to Su's house, she said to the steward beside her, "Aunt Zhang, please hire a doctor quickly."

 “Yes, madam.” Aunt Zhang turned around and went to make arrangements.

With the help of adults, Su Rujin finally felt relieved and quickly brought Mrs. Yang and Mrs. Feng in who rushed over.

Half an hour later, the doctor checked her pulse and administered an acupuncture. Cheng Yingzhen weakly opened her eyes, "What's wrong with me?" At this moment, Cheng Yingzhen looked sallow, weak and exhausted, and she looked haggard. A young woman of seventeen or eighteen years old said that she looked like a thirty-seven or eighty-year-old woman.

Mrs. Yang shook her head and sighed, then sat on the head of her bed, "The doctor said that you are seriously deficient in qi and blood. You should not sit or stand for long periods of time, so you need to rest in bed."

How could this happen if you just gave birth to a child? Cheng Yingzhen didn't believe it: "The first three are all fine."

"You, you, you..." Mrs. Yang didn't know what to say and looked at the doctor.

The doctor had just finished writing the prescription and stretched out his hand, "To whom?"

Su Ruojin reached out and took it, "Doctor, my mother..."

The doctor said: "There is nothing serious. It's just that the body has been damaged since birth. It needs to be rested and recuperated. It should be supplemented with the prescriptions I prescribed and supplemented with food. It will last for two or three months."

 “What kind of dietary supplements are needed?”

The doctor twirled his beard and gave some dietary prescriptions, mainly longan, red beans, red dates, angelica and other foods, which can replenish qi and blood.

 She nodded, "Thank you doctor, the consultation fee is..."

 “Half a piece of silver.”

Su Ruojin took out a few pieces of silver from the purse at her waist and said, "I'm sorry to bother you."

The doctor was polite and gave a few more instructions before leaving.

Mrs. Yang was secretly surprised when she saw the six-year-old girl paying for the consultation. Dr. Su didn't even have a mother-in-law in her family. Logically speaking, this life was difficult, but you can say that it was not easy for a six-year-old child. It's really puzzling to be able to take out half a penny.

Since there was nothing else to do, Mrs. Yang left the Su family with Mother Feng of the Xue family.

In the bedroom, Su Ruojin held her mother's thin and cold hand tightly with her little hand and said with tears, "Mom, you have to listen to the doctor, have a good rest and eat more."

 Cheng Yingzhen stretched out her hand to touch her daughter's little face, "There are things going on inside and outside, how can I let you carry a child alone? Besides..." Su Ruojin suddenly coughed and couldn't breathe. Su Ruojin hurriedly rubbed her heart.

Suddenly, Su Ruojin seemed to understand why her mother's confinement period was not ready. She was worried, anxious, and depressed. She always wanted to get well quickly so she could take care of the housework, but...

After waiting for Cheng Yingzhen to regain her breath and stop coughing, Su Ruojin wiped her tears and said, "Mom, don't worry, my brother and I are both grown up. The two of us will cook for three meals a day. Isn't one meal a lot?" "

That's true.

 Cheng Yingzhen nodded happily.

"And..." Su Ruojin pulled off the purse from her waist and unzipped the silk cord, "You only have two taels of silver!" She showed it to her mother as if she was holding a treasure.

Cheng Yingzhen smiled, but reluctantly.

Su Rujin took a breath, jumped out of bed, and ran out of the bedroom, not forgetting to call her eldest brother.

 What is your daughter doing here? When Cheng Yingzhen was really puzzled, Su Ruojin and Su Dalang pushed and pulled, and finally got the big wooden box to their mother's bed, opened the lid, and found a box full of copper coins.

“Mom, guess how many there are here?”

Cheng Yingzhen sat up in shock, "Ajin, how much money do you have?"

Su Ruojin smiled and said to Su Dalang: "Brother, you said-"
