Chapter 20: Possibly Smallpox
Shen Ercheng: "No, there are neighbors on both sides. If someone sees us, how can I explain it to them?"
"How about this, we take turns to stake out the place these two days. My nephew is now penniless and will definitely find a way to go out and find food. When we wait for him to go out, we can sneak up on him and knock him out, right?"
Hearing this, Mu thought it was too much trouble and curled her lips: "You are just taking off your pants to fart, it's unnecessary. Why don't we get some drugs and knock the two brothers out at night? Anyway, it's late at night and the neighbors are asleep! Who knows?"
When Shen Ercheng heard this, he thought this idea was feasible. He grinned and slapped his thigh, laughing wickedly: "Hehe, you are smart, okay, I will go to the town tomorrow to ask the third master if he has any drugs."
The next morning.
Xu Zhiyi ran to the door of Grandma Xu's room crying and begged, "Wow, grandma, you have to save me and mom!"
Upon hearing this, Old Lady Xu in the room yelled in annoyance: "You're going to die! You're screaming like a ghost so early in the morning!"
Because Xu Zhiyi cried so miserably and loudly, everyone in the Xu family started to curse at her.
Old Man Xu also had a sullen face and said in a low voice, "Go out and see what's going on. The matchmaker said that the auspicious days calculated by the man's family are today and tomorrow, so it's either today or tomorrow to pick him up. Don't let anything unexpected happen!"
Then he glared at Old Lady Xu and cursed, "Humph, you usually look pretty smart, but I didn't expect that you were cheated out of two taels of silver by that money-loser. If she threatened you, you must be out of your mind. You believe this? I don't believe she really dares to kill anyone, old man."
Old Mrs. Xu felt very aggrieved: "You blame me? I did it for you. If she really dared, our whole family would have to go and reunite with the second child."
"Humph, who knew that money-loser was such a spendthrift. Two taels of silver! And he spent it all in just two days! I'm so pissed off!"
Old Man Xu: "You believe her when she says she's done with the spending? What have you seen her buy to bring home?"
Old Mrs. Xu: "Old man, are you saying that the money is still with her? Oh, then I must bring it back later."
"Ah! Ghost!"
When the people from the first and third rooms came out of their rooms, they saw Xu Zhiyi standing in the yard. When they saw her face, they were so scared that they took several steps back.
Song stuttered and pointed at Xu Zhiyi's face: "You...why did your face become like this?"
Xu Xiaoju, who was standing by, saw Xu Zhiyi's face covered with red spots and gloated: "Oh, how scary! I thought I saw a ghost so early in the morning."
Hearing this, Xu Yunyue covered her mouth and smiled: "What my eldest cousin said, this face, if it heals! It may leave scars! Tsk tsk, it's really pitiful"
Xu Xiaoju: "Hey, why should I feel sorry for her? I guess I'm lucky. Fortunately, grandma arranged a marriage for her early on. Otherwise, only a fool would not want her! Ahahaha"
Xu Yaoguang, who was standing by, frowned when he heard his two sisters gloating, but still did not speak to stop them.
When Old Lady Xu saw Xu Zhiyi's face, she was also terrified: "I'm going to die! Maybe someone will come to take you back to your in-laws' house today! What...what should I do?"
Then he yelled, "Old man, come out quickly, something's wrong!"
Upon hearing this, Old Man Xu quickly put on his outer robe and came out. However, when he saw Xu Zhiyi's face, he frowned tightly.
Mrs. Xu: "Old man, what should we do?"
Xu Zhiyi's people are all here! It's time to close the net!
"Grandpa, grandma, my granddaughter begs you to save me!"
When Li heard this, she realized that such a big thing had happened, but Su was still in the room and hadn't come out?
Xu Zhiyi: "Wow, grandma, my granddaughter is so scared. They were only growing on my hands a few days ago, but today they are not only on my face, but all over my body."
"Grandma, what should I do? I think I infected mom. Now mom has it on her body and face too! But mom is weak and has a fever now."
"What??? Is it contagious???"
Upon hearing this, everyone in the Xu family was so frightened that they quickly retreated far away and covered their mouths and noses with their sleeves.
Now, Old Man Xu also became serious and stared at the red spots on Xu Zhiyi's body from a distance.
Suddenly, my memory went back to my childhood, when a major event happened in the village. It was smallpox, which was fatal.
And now what we see on this money-losing guy’s face is very similar to the smallpox at that time.
Xu Jinbao, who had just gotten up from his room, stood at the door and rubbed his eyes: "Mom, what are you doing?"
When Old Man Xu saw Xu Jinbao was about to come out, he quickly scolded him, "Song, take Jinbao back to the room quickly, and don't let him out at all."
"Everyone, don't come near, I'm afraid Daya has smallpox"
"What??? Smallpox?"
Song suddenly thought of something and cried, "Woo woo, two days before that, I saw smallpox on her arm, and she lied and said it was a mosquito bite. Will our whole family be infected? Smallpox can kill people."
When Li heard this, she was so scared that her legs went limp: "Wow, what should we do? Have we been infected?"
Xu Zhiyi: "No, Grandpa, Grandma, Uncle, Third Uncle, you have to save me! Daya doesn't want to die yet!"
After saying that, he rushed towards them pretending to be scared, wanting to grab their hands and ask for help.
Everyone in the Xu family: No! Don’t come over here!
The whole family was so frightened that they were forced to retreat to a corner under the eaves.
Old man Xu yelled, "Xu Daya, stop right there! Don't come any closer!"
Song tightly shielded Xu Jinbao behind her and said worriedly, "Dad, what should we do? It's easy for us to deal with it, but Jinbao is still young! If he gets infected, he won't be able to survive, wuwu."
When Old Mrs. Xu heard this, she looked at her precious grandson and thought that if anything happened to him, she would not be able to bear the blow!
"Old man, please think of a solution quickly. You can't harm the little ones at home."
Xu Yunyue heard this and had a flash of inspiration. She hurriedly said, "Grandpa, hurry up and get them out. Otherwise, even if we are not infected now, we will be infected sooner or later."
Xu Xiaoju agreed when she heard this and said, "Yes, drive them away."
Hearing this, Old Lady Xu hurriedly said, "No, I received a betrothal gift and deposit from them a few days ago. If they come to pick us up, where will we get the people to give them?"
Old Man Xu: "Alas, what time is it? Are you still thinking about money? If our whole family is infected now, we will have no money to spend!"
"Besides, if she's like this, the bride-recruiter isn't stupid, will he want her?"
Old Mrs. Xu: "What's going on? Old man, you make the decision!"
Old Man Xu pondered for a while and said, "Boss, please ask the head of the village and the clan leader to come over. We will separate the second branch. After that, it will be up to the head of the village to decide how to deal with the mother and daughter."
Upon hearing this, Xu Lei gave Old Man Xu a thumbs up and said, "Dad, this is a great idea! I'll go ask the head of the village and the clan leader right away."
