Ye Mingzhu transmigrated to become a low-status pearl diver. She had no parents, only a young brother, and was without food, drink, or land.
Fortunately, the heavens granted her a golden fing...
Chapter 350 Guessing the Heartache
But Ye Mingzhu thought about it over and over again, but couldn't understand why Aunt Jiang did this. She had no other choice but to keep an eye on Aunt Jiang and make her eat and take medicine.
For two consecutive days, Ye Mingzhu stayed in Aunt Jiang's room during the day. After watching her take the medicine, she started cleaning. After she had her meal, she changed the layout of the room.
Every time Yunniang came in, she found that there were slight changes in the room, and Aunt Jiang's complexion was indeed better. She began to reflect on whether she had not tidied up the room properly, which was why Aunt Jiang's illness was recovering slowly.
When it was Yunniang's turn to take care of the baby, she stopped sitting by the bed and started cleaning the room.
Aunt Jiang's room is cleaned several times every day by Ye Mingzhu and Yunniang, and now it can be said to be spotless.
Aunt Jiang's complexion was getting better and better, so Ye Mingzhu specially invited a doctor to take Aunt Jiang's pulse.
After the doctor took my pulse, his expression was much better than before: "This medicine should be effective. Keep taking it for three more days, and I'll come back to take my pulse."
The doctor wrote a prescription and asked Ye Mingzhu to send someone to get the medicine.
When Ye Mingzhu was seeing the doctor off, the doctor reminded her, "The medicines I prescribed the last few times may have been too much for the old lady to swallow. This time, I'm changing to a medicine that's less bitter. Take it on time, and she'll get better faster."
Ye Mingzhu understood the doctor's implication. Aunt Jiang had not taken much of the previous medicine.
She thanked the doctor calmly, asked Yunniang to give the doctor a gift, and then sent the doctor out.
Ye Yun'an and Ludou ran over from a distance.
"Sister, is Auntie feeling better now?" Ye Yun'an looked worried.
Ever since Ye Mingzhu married Jiang Hongyu, Ye Yun'an has been almost always by Aunt Jiang's side and has treated her as his own aunt. His relationship with Aunt Jiang is even better than with his third aunt Fang.
Aunt Jiang fell ill during this period, and he was no less worried than Jiang Hongyu.
Ye Mingzhu patted his shoulder and said, "Mom has gotten much better recently."
"Really?" Ye Yun'an's face was filled with obvious joy: "Then I'll go make some delicious food for Auntie."
Green Bean also had a good relationship with Aunt Jiang. He immediately said, "I'll go read to Aunt Jiang. Maybe if she's in a better mood, she'll recover faster."
Ye Mingzhu thought for a moment and nodded: "Okay, then Yun'an will go make porridge for mother, and Mung Bean will just read outside the window."
Although Aunt Jiang didn't say it explicitly, Ye Mingzhu could see that she had little desire to live and hoped that with the stimulation of having two children, her mood would be better.
Green Bean happily agreed and turned to get the book. Ye Yun'an followed suit and said, "Sister, how about Green Bean and I read to Auntie together?"
"Okay." Anyway, it's not time for dinner yet, and Ye Yunan doesn't have to cook porridge.
Ye Yun'an also happily chased after Lu Dou.
Soon, the two children each took a book and started reading outside Aunt Jiang's door.
In order to make the sound clearer, Ye Mingzhu deliberately opened the door.
Aunt Jiang, who had been taking medicine for a few days, looked a little better. She was lost in thought when she heard a voice from outside the door, startling for a moment: "Mingzhu, are Yun'an and Ludou reading outside?"
"Well, Yun'an and Ludou haven't seen you for several days and they miss you very much, so they thought of reading to make you happy so that you can get better faster." Ye Mingzhu said while wiping the table.
Aunt Jiang was stunned. She calmed down and listened. The sounds outside became clearer. The two children had already started reciting ancient poems, one sentence each.
After reciting the ancient poem, Luodou began to tell a story, the same story that Aunt Jiang had told him a few days ago.
However, Green Bean added his own ideas during the explanation, and Ye Yun'an corrected him outside. The two children had an argument, and in the end it seemed that Ye Yun'an persuaded Green Bean and let him finish the story.
"Mingzhu, go and tell them to stop reading, so that they won't talk too much and their voices will become hoarse." Aunt Jiang had come to her senses and quickly reminded Ye Mingzhu.
"It's okay, just consider it as today's homework." Seeing Aunt Jiang was anxious, Ye Mingzhu smiled.
"What are you talking about? They are both children. They can't damage their voices." Seeing that the two of them started to recite again, Aunt Jiang raised her voice to urge Ye Mingzhu.
Ye Mingzhu saw that Aunt Jiang was really anxious, so she nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll tell them to recite it tomorrow."
Aunt Jiang intervened, "Just let them memorize the text. They don't need to come to me to memorize it. I've been ill for a while now, so don't let them get sick."
"I'm just reciting lessons outside the door. How could I be sick? Don't worry, mother." Ye Mingzhu walked out without waiting for Aunt Jiang to say anything.
The sound outside the door stopped, and Ye Yun'an's voice rang out: "Aunt, I'll go make porridge for you first, and come back to read to you tomorrow."
"Auntie, I'll come too. I'm going to light a fire for Brother Yun'an." After saying this, Ludou followed Ye Yun'an and left.
"Mom, lie down for a while. I'll go get the medicine." Ye Mingzhu helped Aunt Jiang lie down, then went to get the medicine. She wanted to feed Aunt Jiang, but she pushed her away.
"Mingzhu, I've taken so many medicines but none of them worked. Otherwise, I won't take this medicine anymore." Aunt Jiang's face was full of worry as she spoke sarcastically.
Even Yunniang noticed that Aunt Jiang's complexion had improved in the past few days.
"Mom, the doctor said that the medicine we drank before was a bit bitter, but this time it's not bitter anymore. As long as you drink it, you will definitely get better." Ye Mingzhu brought the medicine bowl in front of her.
Aunt Jiang still shook her head: "I know my own body."
Seeing that she was determined not to take the medicine, Ye Mingzhu directly put the medicine bowl on the table, and the sound was so loud that it was as if it was on Aunt Jiang's heart.
"Mom, because of your illness, Hongyu comes home every few days, Yun'an makes porridge for you every day, and Luodou reads to you outside to cheer you up. We all hope that you get better soon."
"Mother, as long as you are willing to take medicine, this doctor can't help. We will go find another doctor. Hongyu has already made an agreement with Master Yu. Since Master Yu has come forward, we will go find a doctor from the prefecture. As long as he can cure your illness."
"If the doctor in the prefecture city is not able to help, we will try to find a doctor in the capital."
Ye Mingzhu guessed that Aunt Jiang's illness this time was probably a heart disease, and only by finding the cause could her illness be cured.
Aunt Jiang was stunned when she heard Ye Mingzhu say that she wanted to go to the capital to ask for a doctor: "Why do you want to ask for a doctor from the capital?"
"Mom, Hongyu doesn't want to experience the pain of wanting to support his parents but they are no longer around. To him, you are more important than anything else." Ye Mingzhu's words were very heartfelt.
Aunt Jiang almost blurted out that she was not his biological mother, but she quickly shut her mouth. She couldn't say this. What if, if she said it, Jiang Hongyu would think that she was the one who killed his biological mother?
Aunt Jiang was in agony. Although she had taken the medicine, she still looked very listless. Ye Mingzhu frowned.
When Jiang Hongyu came back, she stopped him in the front yard.
