As soon as he entered, he couldn't help but cover his nose, nearly suffocating.
It smells awful.
Inside the room, Yang lay alone on the bed, groaning incessantly, "It hurts...it hurts..."
Qiu Dazhi sat on the edge of the bed, his eyes cold and distant.
Originally, Yang's room reeked of a terrible stench.
Now, thanks to Qiu Dazhi's return and thorough cleaning, the smell has dissipated considerably.
But people still couldn't stay.
He glanced at Qiu Dayu, then fed Yang a mouthful of medicine, and said slowly:
"Fifth brother, you've arrived."
Qiu Dayu desperately suppressed the urge to vomit, nodded, and walked to Yang's side.
My mother, lying on the bed, was so thin she was unrecognizable. She had lost almost all the flesh on her body.
As soon as he saw Yang, he knew that Qiu Dayong and his wife were definitely not taking care of her sincerely.
Not only that, but they will likely be mistreated.
He frowned slightly.
"Fourth Brother, what did the doctor say?"
Qiu Dazhi steadied his breathing: "It's a cold."
“A cold? How could it have gotten to this point?” Qiu Dayu questioned, noting that Madam Yang appeared to be terminally ill. “Fourth Brother, have you even taken any medical attention to Mother?”
"My third brother has always taken care of Mother's illness." Even a cold can be life-threatening if it is not properly treated.
As Qiu Dazhi spoke, he gave Yang another sip of her medicinal soup.
Qiu Dayu picked up the medicine bowl, examined it carefully, and then smelled it. "What kind of medicine did you give our mother?"
"It's ginseng soup."
"Ginseng soup?" Qiu Dayu glanced at the medicinal soup again. "Are you sure?"
Qiu Dazhi stopped what he was doing and asked, "Is there a problem?"
Qiu Dayu: "Ginseng costs at least a hundred taels of silver. Can you afford it?" The money he gave was only enough to buy a root.
"The medicine was bought by Third Brother." Qiu Dazhi stared intently, pondering Qiu Dayu's words.
He realized that he seemed to have been deceived.
"You gave him all the money?"
"Um."
"You... really trust him!"
Qiu Dazhi did not reply, but he stopped feeding the medicine.
Third Brother said that he met a quack doctor who sold medicine cheaply with low profit margins and high volume.
Qiu Dayu became suspicious, reached into the soup bowl, and fished out the ginseng.
He planned to let Xiaoyan take a look to confirm whether the medicine was genuine or not.
"Fourth Brother, take good care of Mother. I'm leaving now."
Upon hearing that Qiu Dayu was leaving, Qiu Dazhi stood up and said with difficulty, "Fifth brother, do you...do you still have any money?"
Qiu Dayu shook his head. "I've given you all my money." He still hasn't paid back the money owed to the village chief.
He had planned to visit the village chief to wish him a Happy New Year this year.
Qiu Dayu left the Qiu family.
If he hadn't come to see the Yang family, he wouldn't have wanted to stay in this house for even a moment longer.
Qiu Dazhi had no desire to stay.
But where else could he go besides here?
Ever since Yang fell ill, his life has become worse day by day.
As Qiu Dayu approached his house, he saw Zhao Yuanyuan lingering by the stream. He ran up to her, smiling, and asked:
"Yuanyuan, what are you doing by the stream? Did you come to see me?"
Zhao Yuanyuan glared at Qiu Dayu with a hint of annoyance, "Where have you been playing all morning? You're such a grown man, yet you're still so playful."
"I didn't go anywhere, I just went to see my mother." As he spoke, Qiu Dayu sighed, his feelings complicated.
"Brother Dayu, you are so good to your mother, you are a very filial son." Even though Yang treated him so well, Qiu Dayu still thought of visiting her, which shows that Qiu Dayu is of excellent character.
Speaking of Yang, Qiu Dayu's face darkened. "I'm not as good as you say."
He actually didn't want to go back.
Whenever he recalls the scene of Yang driving him away, he can never get over that hurdle in his heart.
