Jiang quickly dug Chunhua out of the quilt and found that the child was burning with fever and was a little confused.
"Spring flowers? Spring flowers?"
Chunhua vaguely heard someone calling her, and she forced her eyes open a crack and whispered, "Mom—I feel uncomfortable—"
Jiang quickly got up, carried Chunhua to the east room, and said to Widow Liu, "Mother, Chunhua has a fever."
Widow Liu had just finished washing and hung up the clothes, and was warming her hands on the kang. Upon hearing this, she frowned and said, "Why do you have a fever when you're fine?"
Jiang didn't dare to say that she had just fallen into the basin of water and was frozen. She could only whisper, "I don't know what happened."
Widow Liu also remembered the incident of Chunhua falling into the basin of water before, but her brows were furrowed even more.
"This is such a hassle! I told you to change her clothes right away if she got wet. How come she has a fever?"
Jiang wanted to quickly ask Doctor Gu to come and see Chunhua, but after hearing Widow Liu's tone, she finally said cautiously, "Mother, when Doctor Gu comes to see Zhengbao's father for a follow-up consultation tonight, can he also see Chunhua?"
When Widow Liu heard this, her face suddenly darkened.
"You make it sound so easy, seeing a doctor doesn't cost any money?
"It's normal for a child to have a fever. Just cover yourself with a blanket and let it sweat out."
The family's money is all in the hands of Widow Liu, and if she doesn't agree, Jiang has no choice.
In fact, ever since Wang Dafeng married and moved to the capital, Widow Liu has had much more financial resources and has saved a lot of money over the years.
But getting her to spend money is harder than climbing to the sky.
Especially the second son, Wang Dahu, has not gotten married yet because his brain is not very good. It will definitely cost a lot of money to find a wife for him in the future.
Of course, if Wang Dalong, Wang Dahu or Wang Zhengbao wanted to spend money, Widow Liu would still be willing to spend it.
But Jiang and Chunhua?
As long as you don't die, there's no need to spend money.
Jiang had no choice but to put Chunhua on the kang.
Wang Zhengbao had woken up by now. When he saw Chunhua being put up, he immediately got up and went downstairs with disgust.
Jiang was too busy taking care of her son at the moment, but Widow Liu hurriedly got up and chased after him.
"Zhengbao, it's getting dark, where are you going?
"You just woke up, and your forehead is covered in sweat. Be careful of the wind blowing on you!"
Jiang tucked Chunhua into the bed, sighed silently, patted Chunhua through the quilt, and coaxed her softly, "Chunhua, be good, go to sleep, you will be fine after a good sleep."
Widow Liu went out but didn't catch up with her grandson. When she was walking back, she happened to see Ye Juan'er and her husband coming back from outside driving a donkey cart.
Ye Juan'er went to the city today. Not only did she get ten taels of silver, she also went to see her eldest son Ye Xiangxin.
Hearing Master Cheng praising his son so much, I felt so happy.
Before leaving, he gave the sika deer meat to Master Cheng, who was very happy and kept telling them not to worry, saying that he would definitely teach all his skills to Ye Xiangxin.
After saying goodbye to their eldest son, the couple bought a lot of things in the city.
So at this time, both of them had smiles on their faces, and there were a lot of things in the car.
Widow Liu was puzzled by what she saw. Ye Juan'er's family was almost the most frugal in the village, and they had always lived a frugal life.
Except during the Chinese New Year, we usually don’t buy meat at home.
Every year at the beginning of spring, when there is a gap between food and harvest, the cabbages and radishes stored in each household are basically eaten up, and the vegetables in the fields have not yet grown.
Some families can't help but go out and spend money to buy some food to eat.
But Ye Juaner and her husband managed to eat pickles for half a month.
So the sun is rising from the west today?
She was curious and couldn't help asking, "Wow, how did you two make such a fortune? You're actually willing to go into town to buy things?"
When Ye Juan'er heard the sarcastic words, she knew it was Widow Liu without even looking.
"I save what I should save, and I spend what I should spend." Ye Juan'er said, "I have a problem. I can't afford to owe favors to others.
"Unlike some people who owe a lot of favors and still sleep well."
Widow Liu felt a little embarrassed by what she said.
Ye Juaner almost mentioned her name when she said this.
In the past, relying on her son-in-law's ability, Widow Liu often hired people in the village to do unpaid labor for her family.
Liu Quan and widow Liu were from the same village. If one looked into it carefully, the two families might have some connection.
Therefore, the fact that Liu Quan came to Rongxi Village to be a son-in-law always made Widow Liu feel ashamed, and she never had a good face when she saw him.
However, she always asked Liu Quan to work for her family on the grounds that she was a generation older than Liu Quan.
Ye Juan'er had disliked her for a long time.
Before, because of her son-in-law, Ye Juaner could only swallow her anger.
Today, the Ye family has a stronger backer than Widow Liu’s son-in-law.
There was no need for her to indulge Widow Liu anymore.
Widow Liu is used to being domineering in the village, but now everything goes wrong for her. Even the family of Ye Juaner, whom she usually looks down upon the most, dares to shit on her head.
"Liu Quan, are you just listening to your wife talking to me?" Widow Liu yelled at Liu Quan, "Have you forgotten that you should at least call me aunt?"
Liu Quan didn't say anything, but Ye Juan'er took over and said, "As the saying goes, if you marry a chicken, you follow the chicken; if you marry a dog, you follow the dog.
"You've been married for so many years. Your husband and I are of the same generation. There's no need for you to act like you're older than me!"
After Ye Juan'er finished speaking, without waiting for Widow Liu to say anything else, she said directly to Liu Quan: "Why don't you hurry up and get in the car? It will be dark soon."
Liu Quan quickly whipped the donkey, and it started moving, pulling the couple and the things on the cart towards Old Ye's house.
