Song Yan pondered all the wonders that had occurred after the pendant was activated, and every word the old man had said.
The old man was referring to the period before the second spring appeared, and now that it has, perhaps the second spring represents hope. Besides, the purpose of the second spring hasn't been discovered yet; maybe its function is to heal and save lives…
In the morning, Song Yan opened the chicken coop first, "Mom, look, I found an egg."
"Really? The chickens haven't laid an egg since you left." Aunt Wei's face was filled with joy. Could it be that the Weasel Spirit has returned?
In the dead of winter, eggs are a rare treat. "Mom, shall I steam some eggs and make an egg custard for Shuanzhu and Damei?"
"Alright! Eggs are a rare treat in the dead of winter. Maybe the two kids will be willing to eat them if they see them." Aunt Wei's originally happy face turned worried.
Song Yan steamed the egg custard using water from the second spring. After finishing, Song Yan went to Sister-in-law Cheng's house without even having a meal.
"Go on, go on, stay a little longer," the old woman instructed Song Yan. Song Yan was a blessed person; perhaps a person with a bad fate could borrow some of the good fortune by staying near a blessed person.
Aunt Wei couldn't help but sigh. Losing even one child can be fatal. The Cheng family had two children…
Eggs are a rare commodity these days. When steaming the eggs, Song Yan even added sesame oil.
"This smells so good! Your Aunt Wei has brought you some good stuff." Sister-in-law Cheng helped remove the plate covering the bowl.
"What does this taste like? Sesame oil, I guess? Shuanzhu, Damei, you've never tried sesame oil before. Come and have a taste, thanks to your aunt." Sister-in-law Cheng said.
The two of them praised the children enthusiastically, hoping to whet their appetites and get them to eat something.
You could tell from his expression that he didn't want to eat at all. But he was sensible; he knew that if he ate something, his family would be happier!
Cheng Yousuo held one child in each arm, letting them lean against him. Neither of them had the strength to sit up.
Song Yan was about to cry. She kept telling herself: Don't cry, crying won't help. Think of something, you have to think of something…
Cheng Ersao took a small spoon, scooped out a small piece of cake, and brought it to Shuanzhu's mouth. Shuanzhu opened his mouth with great difficulty, held the cake in his mouth for a long time, and finally managed to swallow it.
Second Sister-in-law Cheng: "Da Mei, look, your brother has already eaten this sponge cake, you should try some too."
Now, the family tries to keep Sister-in-law Cheng from doing any work, and her aunt helps take care of both children.
Da Mei swallowed a small mouthful with difficulty.
Sister-in-law Cheng was heartbroken. The girl didn't even mention getting the medication after reading it. These two children were beyond saving.
Song Yan couldn't stand it any longer, "I've written a prescription..."
Cheng Youfu jumped out, "I'll go get you the medicine." Giving you a prescription means there's a possibility of a cure!
That's what the Cheng family all thinks.
"After you catch it, give it to me, and I'll brew the medicine." The prescription contained only three simple Chinese herbs for strengthening the spleen and stomach. Song Yan's purpose was to use the spring water.
Cheng Youfu opened the package and saw only three herbs. He was stunned. Such a serious illness, could three herbs really cure it? This isn't…
Cheng Youfu didn't dare think any further; he just wanted to hurry and buy it! If it could give his sister-in-law some hope and ease her pain, then the medicine would be worth it. Cheng Youfu went to the county without even having breakfast.
Song Yan dared not linger, otherwise she would lose control of her emotions…
