Chapter 1112: Getting stuck in a dead end
Zhang Juexia was shocked, because every time she corresponded with Old Madam Shen, Old Madam Shen said that she was in good health!
Therefore, Zhang Juexia never thought that Old Madam Shen would get sick.
Madam Shen stepped forward and took Zhang Juexia's hand. "Don't listen to Lihua, listen to me. I said I'm fine, and I'm fine!"
Zhang Juexia followed Madam Shen into the house and carefully examined her face. "Madam, I see you've lost weight."
Lihua agreed, "Old Madam, I told you that anyone who cares about you will see the changes in you once they take one look at you."
Zhang Juexia nodded. "Old Madam, what Lihua said makes sense. How about this: I'll listen to Lihua first, and then I'll listen to you. How about that?"
Lihua was of course looking forward to it. Recently, the old lady had been ignoring her and not taking her medicine on time. If she told Zhang Juexia all this, Zhang Juexia would definitely stand on her side.
Therefore, she wanted to seize the opportunity, "Madam Ye, the old lady's illness has been lingering for several months.
She also doesn't take her medicine on time. You see, she doesn't even drink the medicine we prepared."
Zhang Juexia asked with concern, "Did the doctor tell me what the disease was?"
Madam Shen glared at Lihua and said, "Girl, you finally came here to talk to me!
You guys are just so good, always doing this and that.
Bring the medicine over when it's ready. I'll drink it myself when it cools down."
Lihua heard that the old lady was giving in, and quickly responded, "I'll go get the medicine right away."
Madam Shen looked at Lihua's back and sighed, "Girl, I know they are doing this for my own good.
So, I am not angry, nor do I blame them.
It’s just that this medicine is too bitter…”
"Madam, good medicine tastes bitter. If you are sick, you must take medicine!"
“I’m already this age, how could I not understand.
It’s just my own body that I know best.
This medicine isn't very useful even if you take it."
"How would you know if you don't eat? Lihua just said you're in great shape!"
Madam Shen pondered for a moment, "The boss told me about the rewards for you and Bei Xiu.
What a cause for celebration!
Girl, we are no longer strangers. Let me tell you the truth, I think Beixiu’s choice is very good.
Although he is far away from the court, he still has status and position, and can also gain a firm foothold in the business world.
Yes, this kid, I really underestimated him at the beginning."
"Actually, I didn't expect that he would bring me such a big surprise."
"Bei Xiu is a responsible man."
Old Madam Shen was probably a little excited and started coughing uncontrollably. Zhang Juexia stood up nervously, patted her back, and asked her to drink a sip of water.
After Mrs. Shen stopped coughing, Lihua came in with medicine.
Madam Shen didn't hesitate and picked up the bowl and drank it in one gulp.
Lihua looked at the empty medicine bowl and said, "Mrs. Ye, if I had known that the old lady would be so cooperative in taking the medicine after seeing you,
I should have suggested that you come here earlier."
"It's not too late to come now, Lihua. Don't worry, I will persuade the old lady to take her medicine on time."
Lihua bowed solemnly to Zhang Juexia and said, "Thank you, Madam Ye."
Zhang Juexia wanted to stand up, but was stopped by Old Madam Shen, "You are now a person of status and position.
But don't be impolite.
Lihua, go to the kitchen and tell them to make more of Mrs. Ye's favorite dishes."
Madam Shen waved her hand and everyone in the room left.
"It makes me feel annoyed just looking at a group of people snoring around every day.
Girl, actually, I have a heart disease.
Alas, you must have heard about what happened to my second child.
At the beginning, when the second brother was in trouble, there were many people in the entire Qingfeng City who laughed at our Shen family.
There are also many people who want to take advantage of others' misfortunes.
There are very few people who can truly help others in times of need.
You came early today. If you go to the entrance of the village now, you will definitely see rows of carriages.
There are too many people who are eager to get close to our Shen family.
At my age, I've experienced everything and have long since let it go.
But I am worried about the second brother. You are not an outsider. There is a saying that goes, to serve the king is like serving a tiger!
Everyone is looking at the second one, who is looking quite impressive now.
I’m afraid that if I’m not careful, I might even lose my life!
well......"
Zhang Juexia never imagined that Old Madam Shen was so worried about Lord Shen. She had originally wanted to learn from her.
I have prepared a lot of words, but I can't say them at this moment.
"Girl, you are a very insightful person. I called you here because I wanted to talk to you.
Secondly, I have something to ask of you."
"Old Madam, you didn't have to stay silent for so long. You should have asked me to talk earlier."
"In that situation, I didn't want to burden you!"
"Old lady, you underestimate me. Am I the kind of person who is afraid of being a burden?"
"That's right, ever since I moved into the manor, you've been sending me good things.
On the contrary, my old sisters are all..."
Madam Shen shook her head, and Zhang Juexia wanted to persuade her, "Madam, I remember you persuaded me before.
It is said that life is not easy for us women. We have a whole family to support and have to take care of this and that.
In the end, I’m afraid I won’t even think about myself.”
After hearing what Zhang Juexia said, Madam Shen smiled and said, "I'm trying to persuade you to think positively on a daily basis, but you've got it here."
“Actually, if you think about it, it’s the same principle.
If you, old lady, could think of your old sisters in this way, you would no longer have any troubles."
The wrinkles on Madam Shen's face gradually smoothed out. "Well, I won't take medicine anymore today, and I can even eat a bowl of rice."
"That would be great!"
Zhang Juexia raised his head and looked at Madam Shen, whose smile went straight to the bottom of his heart. Then he said tentatively, "Madam, do you know?
How much do Ye Beixiu and I envy you and Old Master Shen?"
Madam Shen was puzzled. "We are just an old man and an old lady. What is there to envy?"
“Because the children you raise are excellent!
That day, I heard Ye Beixiu mention to me that after Lord Shen became the Prime Minister, he did many good things for the country and the people.
The people of the entire Great Zhou Dynasty are particularly grateful to Lord Shen.
The emperor also has a good eye for talent and is particularly fond of Lord Shen.
Old lady, you should put aside your previous prejudices, go out when you should, and listen to opera when you should.
When you hear a lot of people praising Lord Shen, you stop thinking too much about it.
Slowly, your body will get better.
You don’t have to drink those bitter medicines anymore.”
After Zhang Juexia finished speaking, he nodded towards Old Madam Shen with great interest.
That means you can do it.
Old Madam Shen sat upright in the chair, looking at Zhang Juexia's bright smiling face, thinking to herself that what she said did make sense.
The outside world is not as bad as I thought. I am getting old and have become too obsessed with it.
