Ye Juaner covered her mouth and nose in disgust and quickly left.
When she got home, she started busying herself with washing and cutting vegetables.
Soon, Mrs. Ye Dasao and Mrs. Ye Sansao came over.
Two people came over and took over the work in Ye Juaner's hands.
"Auntie, we can just make lunch, you don't have to worry about it."
"Hey, don't push me. I don't know how to cook. I'll just help you."
Sister Ye said, "Aunt, if you can't stay idle, come to my house and chat with my mother."
"Then why don't you just ask your mother to come over?" Ye Juan'er asked puzzledly.
"My mother has been feeling a little unwell these past two days, so she's resting at home. Otherwise, she would have come over long ago without us calling her."
"Your mother is sick?" Ye Juan'er asked in surprise. "When did this happen? How come I haven't heard about it?"
"We're busy with the autumn harvest, so my mother didn't let us tell her.
"But everyone is busy today, and there's no one at home to accompany her. I thought it would be better to let my aunt go and talk to her."
Ye Juan'er immediately took off her apron and said, "Okay, thank you for your hard work. I'll go see your mother first."
After she said that, she went straight to Old Ye's house. As soon as she entered the yard, she saw Guo strolling in the yard, holding her lower back.
Mrs. Guo is still very young and her pregnancy is not obvious at all, but she insists on walking with her belly held high.
Although the Ye family had not moved back long ago, Ye Juan'er was already quite familiar with all the family members, except for Mrs. Guo.
"Just strolling!" Ye Juaner greeted a little awkwardly.
"My cousin is here." Guo nodded, greeted him and said nothing more.
Ye Juaner smiled awkwardly and said, "I heard your mother was ill, so I came to see her."
Guo remained silent without comment.
Ye Juan'er had no choice but to turn around and go into the east room of the main house.
As soon as she entered the room, she smelled the bitter aroma of medicinal soup. She quickly walked to the kang, sat down next to Old Lady Ye, and asked, "Old sister-in-law, weren't you fine a few days ago? How did you suddenly get sick?"
"Aunt, you're here." When Old Mrs. Ye saw Ye Juan'er coming, she tried to prop herself up and sit up.
Ye Juan'er pressed her shoulders and said, "Just lie down properly. I'm not a stranger, why are you being so polite?"
Old Mrs. Ye had been lying on the kang to recuperate these past two days, and she was indeed feeling a little suffocated. When she saw Ye Juaner, she started talking.
He talked about how he went into the city to buy things that day, and then talked about how he almost encountered bandits on the way back, and finally talked about how uncomfortable he felt after returning from the city that day.
“I thought I was just too tired and thought I would just take a nap.
“As a result, after lying down, I felt more and more uncomfortable.
"At that moment, I suddenly couldn't move or shout.
“I felt like my soul was about to leave my body and fly out.
"I thought at the time, is the old man trying to take me away with him?
“I was thinking, now all four of my sons are married, and even the fourth one is going to be a father soon.
"If the old man wants to take me away now, I don't think I have anything to worry about.
"My only regret is that I didn't get to see the fourth child..."
"Sister-in-law, that's a bit scary!" Ye Juan'er's hair stood on end. "Then how did you wake up? Is Doctor Gu's medical skills so good?"
"It didn't have much to do with Doctor Gu," Old Lady Ye recalled. "Just when I felt like I was about to drift away, I suddenly heard a dog barking, and then I heard Qingtian calling my grandma.
"At that moment, the soul that was about to fly away suddenly fell back.
“I could hear everything, but I couldn’t move my body or speak.
"After drinking a bowl of medicine and sweating a little, I was finally able to move again."
After hearing this, Ye Juaner said worriedly, "Sister-in-law, from what I hear from you, it doesn't seem like you're sick, right?
“I’ve heard people say before that ghosts who died unjustly can only stay where they died and can’t leave. They have to find a scapegoat to escape.
"Although you didn't encounter any bandits that day, on the way back and when you went to the city the next day, you passed by the place where the bandits killed people. Could it be that you provoked some evil creatures?"
In fact, Old Mrs. Ye had doubts in her heart, and after hearing what Ye Juaner said, she became even more worried.
"What should we do then?" Old Mrs. Ye asked worriedly.
"Sister-in-law, you're awake now, which proves that thing didn't succeed, so you should be fine.
"If you feel uneasy, when you are better, I will go with you to the temple to get a peace amulet. You can wear it close to your body. It will calm your soul and keep you safe!"
"Okay, okay." Old Mrs. Ye nodded repeatedly.
Ye Juan'er came to her senses and said with emotion, "From what you just said, maybe it was Qingtian and Gouzai who saved you!
"Children's eyes are the clearest and they can see things that we adults can't. Some dogs can also protect the house from evil spirits.
"You are so lucky to be alright this time."
"Who said it wasn't!" Old Mrs. Ye nodded. Ever since the sunny day came, the family's luck has really been getting better and better.
After Mrs. Ye Dasao and Mrs. Ye Sansao prepared lunch, one went home to call Old Lady Ye and Ye Juaner, while the other went to the field to invite everyone to come back for dinner.
Everyone was busy in the fields for the whole morning, and even those who were used to farm work were very tired.
Fortunately, Ye Juan'er is not a stingy person, and she prepared sufficient quantities of various foods.
After everyone got home, they first drew water from the well to wash their faces and hands, and then sat at the table and started eating with their bowls in their hands.
After everyone had finished two bowls of rice, they finally slowed down and had time to start chatting.
