When Xie Yan got home that evening, he told Yu Yue about it. They had developed a habit of talking every night. At first, it was to ease the awkwardness, but it gradually became a habit. Now, if they didn't talk at night, something would be missing.
After listening, Yu Yue sighed as well, "Do you know? In our area, if you reach a certain age and are still not married, you will become a disgrace to the entire family."
After a moment of silence, she continued, "Before I got married, my grandma's favorite saying was, 'With someone like me who can't get married, she's too ashamed to even lift her head when she goes out.'"
Xie Yan immediately recalled the situation and took her hand, saying, "Wife, it's alright. From now on, we'll ignore your grandma and won't give her any good food."
Yu Yuehui was amused by Xie Yan's childish words.
Xie Yan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw her smile. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Wife, if we have children in the future, we won't force them to get married, okay?"
Yu Yue patted Xie Yan's arm. "What are you saying? You're her biological father, and I'm the stepmother?"
"I've thought about it for a long time. Once I have children, I will definitely not pressure her to get married!"
Xie Yan: "Hahaha, my bad, I misspoke! You will definitely be a very good mother in the future."
What if we have kids in the future? Ugh! Just thinking about it makes Xie Yan anxious!
Raising a child is so tiring! And that kid loves to cry! Just thinking about that scene and the thank-you banquet makes me shudder.
Not to mention that raising children costs money!
Where would they find the extra money to raise a child?
He himself is almost starving!
Where will the money come from to raise children!
You still need to have money!
Xie Yan's desire to make money reached its peak once again!
At present, the only way to go is to dig for medicinal herbs, but medicinal herbs are not easy to dig. You can only go when you have time to thank the banquet, otherwise you can't go.
If you want to find some decent medicinal herbs that can be sold for a decent price, you have to go further in.
The seeds in front were all small ones, seeds that were specially left over from the thank-you banquet.
Making money is so hard! Especially these days.
The fastest way is the black market, but that place depends on luck; one wrong move and you could be arrested and sent to labor camp.
But Xie Yan's luck has never been good! He dares not gamble!
So this road was completely blocked!
So the only option left was to find a job in the commune or the city, but jobs were hard to find! He had some connections in the capital, yet he couldn't find a job there, let alone here!
That's just wishful thinking.
As I scrolled down the lines, my heart sank!
Just go to work! At least you'll get five dollars, right?
Five yuan is still money, and it's not a small amount!
Xie Yan comforted himself and fell asleep. Perhaps he had overthought things before bed, because he dreamt about money all night, sometimes here and sometimes there, having all sorts of random dreams.
When I woke up this morning, I felt dizzy and uncomfortable all over.
I swallowed and realized my throat was swollen too!
Look at the sun outside, it's already high in the sky.
At this moment, Xie Yan only had two words in his mind: It's over!
Not only was he late for class, but he also caught a cold!
When it rains, it pours; misfortunes never come singly!
All the bad things happened at once!
Xie Yan's cold came on unexpectedly and came on fiercely. As her body awoke, various aches and pains followed.
Xie Yan struggled to sit up, wanting to go downstairs for a drink of water. After taking a few steps, he found his head was hurting even more, and the pain intensified with any movement! It felt like he had been hit on the head with a club.
I'm in pain and dizzy!
There was no one at home at the moment. Yu Yue hadn't noticed anything unusual about Xie Yan when she left in the morning. Plus, Xie Yan loved to sleep in, and usually when she woke up, Xie Yan was still asleep.
They didn't even notice that Xie Yan's banquet was any different from usual.
She left breakfast there, closed the door, and went to work.
I never even considered catching a cold during the thank-you banquet on such a hot day.
This left Xie Yan with no one to turn to for help. His whole body ached, so he struggled to pour himself a glass of water, drank it, and then lay back down on the kang (a heated brick bed).
It wasn't that he was being dramatic; his head really hurt terribly, and he didn't have a fever. It was just a pure headache, and his whole body ached.
He felt uncomfortable even when lying down, and even more uncomfortable when sitting. He was uncomfortable no matter what he did, and all sorts of negative emotions kept coming at him.
Xie Yan started to resent Yu Yuehui, saying that she hadn't noticed his condition at all when she left in the morning and had gone to work.
Is going to work really that important?
What would happen if we lost one day?
Xie Yan was extremely upset at this moment; nothing seemed right to him! He felt an urge to soar across the world.
Even Heihei, whom I usually adore, received a slap.
Looking at the time, it was only a little past ten o'clock. Yu Yuehui wouldn't be back until at least 10:30. Xie Yan's condition had become more serious. His whole body was starting to feel cold. He wrapped himself tightly in the quilt and still felt cold.
They can only huddle together, which is equivalent to the return of the moon.
There is an old doctor here, but he is not close by. Although he is old, he mostly sells Western medicine. Given Xie Yan's current condition, he is not sure if he can make it there.
If you faint halfway through, no one might even notice.
When Yu Yue returned home at 10:40, she saw that the front door was still open and felt something was wrong. She ran into the house and saw Xie Yan lying in bed, trembling with a pale face.
She ran over, hugged him, and rushed outside.
Before Xie Yan could even say a word, they were already at the door.
With a sigh, Xie Yan said in a hoarse voice, "Wife, I just have a common cold. You can just go to Dr. Zhao's and get me some medicine. You don't need to take me there."
The main reason is that I'm afraid of losing face! A grown man being carried around by his wife makes him seem very delicate, even though there aren't many people in the village right now.
Good things don't come true, but bad things do. If he fainted, he might not have seen it, but if Yu Yuehui carried him in a princess carry, he would definitely have been seen by others.
Xie Yan could foresee that tomorrow—no! It won't even take tomorrow; by the afternoon, he'll be trending again in Xiliu Village.
Help!
He really doesn't want to be famous!
Yu Yue glanced back at Xie Yan in her arms and shook her head firmly. "No, I still have to take you there so he can take a look at you. Only by treating the root cause can you recover faster."
"Don't worry, there aren't many people in the village right now. I'll take you there soon."
"It's all my fault. I didn't notice anything wrong with you when I left this morning, which is why you've gotten so sick. If I had taken you there this morning, you might be better by now!"
Xie Yan: "!"
Are you having too high expectations for medicine? It's just medicine, not a magic pill; it won't work that quickly!
Xie Yan wanted to say something more, but his head started throbbing again. He frowned in pain; it hurt so much, it really hurt so much. His whole head, including his eyes, hurt, and the pain occupied his entire mind.
