Chapter 67: So This Is How It Works
Zhao Zhilan was worried when she saw her sweaty face and pale lips.
If she is really pregnant, the stomach pain might cause miscarriage.
His expression suddenly became serious: "You've been in pain for so many days, why did you only go to the doctor today?"
"I've been looking for it for a long time. I've already found three or four," Wu Dongmei said while taking a breath. "Auntie, I'm not pregnant. This bloating is just from the pain I had a few days ago."
"Brother Yang goes out every day to find a doctor for me. He has visited all the neighboring villages and towns, but there is no one who can treat me."
"Then...then what should we do?" Zhao Zhilan took her hand and tucked it back into the quilt. "Lie down first. I'll boil some hot water for you. Maybe it will make you feel better."
"Alas..." Wu Dongmei sighed, "To be honest, Auntie, my illness came on suddenly, and there's no doctor nearby who can treat it. If Big Brother Yang doesn't find someone who can treat it this time, I won't have much hope."
Zhao Zhilan felt uncomfortable when she saw her like that. It was just abdominal distension and abdominal pain, so why couldn't anyone cure it?
Wu Dongmei is still so young, she can't let this disease drag her down.
The two of them were sighing there, while Baoya, Yunhua and Yunyue were standing quietly in the room. Zhao Zhilan could see them, but she didn't walk around or look around.
The dark and thin little tiger was a little timid and afraid of people. He stood in the corner between the wooden bed and the wooden wall, and his dark little hands were pulling Wu Dongmei's clothes.
Seeing that his eyes were red like a rabbit, Baoya felt sorry for him. She took out a piece of malt sugar from her pocket and beckoned to Huzi.
Hu Zi took a timid look and looked away, as if he didn't dare to go over.
Baoya thought for a moment, then walked over with the malt sugar: "Here's some candy for you."
Hu Zi's little black hand was still pulling Wu Dongmei's clothes. He turned his head to look at the malt sugar that Bao Ya handed over.
In the white and tender palm of her hand was a piece of golden malt candy, which looked delicious.
He swallowed and stared at Baoya with his big dark eyes.
"Eat it," Baoya coaxed him, "Grandma said that if you have candy in your mouth, life will not be hard. If you eat the candy, your mother's illness will get better soon."
Zhao Zhilan heard this and chuckled, "That's right. No matter how hard life is, you can't be miserable in your heart."
These words seemed to be spoken to himself, but also to Wu Dongmei.
Although their lives are getting better and better now, and the children can put candies in their pockets every day, they cannot forget the hard times in the past.
Wu Dongmei felt warm in her heart and patted her son's small black hand: "Sister Baoya gave this to you, just take it."
After getting his mother's permission, Hu Zi took the candy and stuffed it into his mouth.
He hadn't eaten something so sweet and delicious for a long time. The sweet taste of malt sugar filled his mouth, stimulating his saliva.
Baoya watched him eat candy with her little hands in her pockets, and suddenly she touched the little thing that Ear Mouse gave her in her dream.
She pinched it with her tender white hands. It was soft and seemed elastic. What was it?
Here, Zhao Zhilan went out to the outer room to boil some hot water for Wu Dongmei. Yunhua, who was older, ran over to help. Yunyue came over with Baoya to comfort Wu Dongmei and play with Huzi.
Baoya was holding the soft little thing in her hand, and suddenly a light bulb went off in her head as she remembered something.
Aunt Wu has abdominal pain and bloating. It seems that the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" says that ear mouse meat can cure abdominal swelling!
When I think about it this way, it seems like everything makes sense!
Yesterday she dreamed of an ear mouse, and the ear mouse gave her something. It must be the ear mouse meat that can cure Aunt Wu’s bloating!
Baoya was immediately happy.
But she couldn't just take it out like that.
When she lowered her head, she saw Little Tiger slurping candy next to her, and she suddenly got an inspiration.
So, Baoya took out the soft pink piece of ear mouse meat and handed it to Wu Dongmei: "Aunt Wu, here's some candy for you too."
Wu Dongmei was in great pain, but she didn't expect Xiao Baoya to prepare candy for her. She was so happy that she turned around and pulled her stomach again, and her face suddenly became grimace.
"Oh... Thank you, Baoya. I won't eat it. I'm feeling very uncomfortable."
Baoya stretched out her little hand and insisted: "Aunt Wu, eat it. This candy is not ordinary candy. It is delicious."
Wu Dongmei looked at the pink stuff in her little palm and felt it was unusual, but she really couldn't eat any candy right now.
"Then Auntie won't eat it anymore, I'll leave it for you."
"But," Baoya tilted her head and looked at her, "maybe after Auntie eats it, her stomach will feel better."
How could Wu Dongmei believe it? She wanted to refuse, but Zhao Zhilan happened to come in from outside with some boiled hot water.
As soon as I heard Baoya say this, I knew that this thing must really be able to cure diseases.
She walked over and put the bowl of water on the table, then said to Wu Dongmei, "Just eat what Baoya gave you. It's a token of her love. Besides, you don't have any hope anyway, so what if it works?"
After Zhao Zhilan said this, Wu Dongmei was inexplicably moved.
She took the pink "little candy" from Baoya's hand and put it in her mouth.
Baoya stood on tiptoe, eyes wide open, staring at her expression.
She just lied to Aunt Wu and said that this was candy, but she had never eaten rat meat and didn't know what it tasted like.
What if it doesn’t taste good? Will Aunt Wu spit it out?
Fortunately, Wu Dongmei was feeling uncomfortable at the moment, so she took it and swallowed it directly. However, she still smelled a little bit of taste, which was a bit sweet, but also seemed a bit fishy?
"Auntie, is it delicious?" Baoya looked at her with her big eyes blinking.
Wu Dongmei smiled and patted her head: "It's delicious. Thank you Baoya for the candy."
Baoya finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhao Zhilan handed the lukewarm water to Wu Dongmei and said, "Drink some hot water first."
She is still a little unsure. Although Wu Dongmei ate the candy given by Bao Ya, she doesn't know whether the candy is really effective. Maybe she still has to wait until Yang Daguang comes back.
But just as she was thinking about it, Wu Dongmei suddenly covered her stomach and screamed again: "Ouch! Ouch! I can't take it anymore, my stomach hurts so much!"
"Dongmei?" Zhao Zhilan was startled. "How are you?"
Xiao Baoya also clenched her hands, but for some reason, she was very calm in her heart. Although Aunt Wu screamed loudly, everything would be fine.
Wu Dongmei was yelling and screaming, which scared Hu Zi. Hu Zi was so small that he only showed his little head when he leaned over the bed. His little hands tightly grasped Wu Dongmei's clothes, and tears fell from his eyes: "Mom, what's wrong with you? Are you okay?"
"Woo woo woo, mother, please don't die!"
But then Wu Dongmei cried out, "Ouch! I can't hold it anymore!"
"Auntie, please look after Hu Zi. I need to go to the toilet!"
After saying that, he swiftly lifted the quilt, picked up Hu Zi who was clinging to his clothes with one hand, and stuffed him into Zhao Zhilan's arms. Without even putting on his shoes, he rushed out of the house and ran to the toilet behind the house to relieve himself.
Zhao Zhilan was still holding Hu Zi in her arms, with tears in his eyes. Bao Ya looked up at her with her round eyes like water grapes. Yun Hua and Yun Yue were standing beside Bao Ya.
The four of them looked at each other, and then they heard bursts of "puff puff" sounds of excretion coming from the back window of the cabin, accompanied by Wu Dongmei's comfortable moans.
"Ah...it feels good, it feels good this time!"
