"Sir, Erniu was stung by a bee. Where is the husband and the wife?"
Ding Youtian calmly lowered his head to the fool who followed him out, "Take her to Dali's house and ask Dali's wife to apply some milk on her." After that, he looked at the crying Erniu, "Good job, let's see if you can fight back against me for being so rude again."
"What are you talking about?" Jian Ning also ran over at this time. She took Erniu from Hong Gu's hands and glared at Ding Youtian. She carried Erniu back to the room, squeezed out the venom from her first, then applied double-itch water to disinfect her, and then carried her to find Xiuqin.
In fact, ice compresses can relieve pain and swelling faster. There are ice packs in the medicine store, but Jane Ning doesn't plan to do that because breast milk can indeed reduce swelling and pain. Breast milk is rich in nutrients such as protein and vitamins.
It would not do any harm to let Erniu suffer more, so that she would remember it for the second time. Jian Ning reluctantly carried the tearful and crying Erniu to Cao's house.
Erlangzi and Qiaofeng also followed. Erlangzi was greatly relieved after Jian Ning took Erniu. As a rough man, he was too embarrassed to open his mouth, even to Xu Dali to ask his wife to apply some breast milk to Erniu.
He felt it was too indecent.
When Sanniu wanted to follow him, Ding Youtian stopped her and confiscated the porcelain bottle from her hand. He had just poured out the bees trapped inside when Guoguo swallowed all the bees as snacks in a few jumps.
Sanniu pouted helplessly, glanced at Ding Youtian, said nothing and turned to leave, but Ding Youtian stopped her again, "Second sister, what's wrong? Tell me."
Hong Gu was worried that he would punish Sanniu, so she hurriedly said, "It's none of Yaoyao's business. She did stop him..."
"Let her speak for herself." Ding Youtian nodded at Sanniu while picking at the rice in his bowl.
Sanniu wrung her hands and said, "I saw that bee lady's wings were a little dark, and she was a little big. She looked different from the other bee ladies, so I didn't dare to pick her up. Second sister saw that I didn't dare, so she said she did, and then she started crying."
"I told her not to praise it."
Sanniu added another sentence.
"It's also my fault. I didn't pay attention to them at all." Hong Gu looked guilty.
"Aunt, it's none of your business. If they don't suffer a little, it's no use just standing by and watching them." Ding Youtian pointed the chopsticks at Sanniu and said, "From now on, you two can only play in this yard. You are not allowed to go anywhere else."
Sanniu looked at Ding Youtian, a hint of resentment evident on her face, but she said nothing. She turned to leave when she saw Duan Xinyan waving at her from the doorway, motioning her to come over.
"What are you doing?" She brought Yuanbao over, and Duan Xinyan pulled her into her room. "Don't be afraid, I have experience with this. My mother used to restrain me sometimes, but if I stayed at the mansion obediently for a day, I would be relieved. It's okay, okay?"
"Let's make peace. I won't scold your mother from now on, okay?" Seeing Sanniu looking at her with a straight face, Duan Xinyan smiled and pinched her little face, "Look, your mother isn't angry with me at all. She even gave me medicine."
"My mother is the best. I still like you even if you don't scold her."
"Is your daddy not well?"
Sanniu shook her head and smoothed her hair, "I don't know if Daddy is okay or not."
"Then do you like your father?" Duan Xinyan asked again.
"Sometimes I like him, sometimes I don't. Aunt, what about you? Do you like your father or your mother?"
Duan Xinyan's eyes darkened when she heard this. "I don't have a mother anymore. She's dead. I'll never see her again."
"You're so pitiful." Sanniu's eyes suddenly turned red as she thought of the day her mother was struck by lightning. Duan Xinyan thought she was sad because she had lost her mother, so she smiled and said, "I'm not pitiful at all. Even though I lost my mother, I still have my mother, my father, my elder sister, my elder sister, my brothers, my younger sister, and my aunt. They all treat me well. They are also your and Jiajia's relatives."
Sanniu didn't quite understand who these people she was talking about were, or how they related to her, but she knew the eldest sister she was talking about was her mother. "My mother is really the best. You scolded her, but she still gave you medicine. Isn't my mother very good?"
"Yes, your mother is the best in the world!" Duan Xinyan was of course just trying to coax the child. She didn't think Jian Ning was good at all, and blurted out, "She's not as good as my mother is to me. My mother sometimes smiles at me, and she looks so pretty when she smiles. Your mother never smiles at me, and she always scolds me."
"Did she scold you? It doesn't matter. My second sister always scolds me and beats me, but I know that my second sister likes me, and I like my second sister too." Sanniu meant that her mother also liked her aunt.
Duan Xinyan sneered inwardly. She didn't think Jian Ning liked her. In Jian Ning's heart, she was not as good as Qiao Feng.
Just as she was thinking about Qiaofeng, she saw Qiaofeng leading Erniu over. Qiaofeng sent Erniu back and went to the canteen to pick up the dishes and chopsticks. After washing the dishes, she went back to Cao's house to continue helping to make the fruit paste.
In the evening, Tong Bajin and another group of people who had gone out to sell apples returned, along with Tong Zhanggui from Jin County and his two daughters and one son. Tong Zhanggui's ancestral home was Lehe Town, Danyang County, and he and Tong Bajin were cousins within the fifth degree of mourning.
Shopkeeper Tong's wife had a bad temper. She accidentally killed someone while arguing with someone. After pushing the woman to the ground, the woman fell in a bad position with a pile of bamboo sticks next to her, and one of the bamboo sticks happened to get stuck in her temple, killing her instantly.
Killing someone means paying with one's life, and also paying compensation in silver. For this reason, Shopkeeper Tong had no choice but to sell off his house and shop. Jinxian was too embarrassed to stay after such a thing happened. After much deliberation, he had no choice but to return to his hometown with his children after collecting his wife's body.
Shopkeeper Tong heard about the imperial court's disaster relief in Danyang County while he was on the road. He had left Danyang with his parents when he was in his teens. Before he set off to return, he did not know that Danyang had suffered from ice disasters in the past ten years, nor did he know that Princess An Ning was Madam Jian who cured his son's hydrophobia.
Jian Ning knew that Jian Ning was a businessman who had traveled all over the world and had a good character, so he discussed with him and asked him not to return to Lehe Town, but to buy or rent a house in Danyang County and settle down in the county seat. He also asked him to be a distributor of ginkgo paste and be responsible for the sales in the entire north.
This was a pleasant surprise for Shopkeeper Tong. He immediately bowed deeply to Jian Ning and said, "I can recommend someone. Madam Jian knows him. He's a middleman who does all kinds of business. He can act as an agent for sales in the southwest. He's a very reliable person."
Jian Ning raised his eyebrows. "You're talking about Brother Chen. His son and my son were classmates at the county school. His name is Chen Qinian, right?"
"Yes, it is he. If Madam Jane is willing, I can write him a letter. He will certainly be happy to do so."
"Okay, Brother Chen, I trust you."
