The three Lin brothers took turns pulling the wooden cart, carrying Liu to the town clinic.
Recalling the tears that Liu couldn't help but shed when she saw Lin Chaodong, Yue Jiuyue felt a pang of sorrow.
Hopefully, Liu is alright.
She instructed Liu's two sons to turn over the wheat field, while Yue Jiuyue stayed home to take care of Dazhuang. As for Xiaoman'er, she was now a well-behaved and obedient little adult, and she only listened to her parents, so Yue Jiuyue didn't need to worry about her.
Yue Jiuyue is now used as a mascot and a pillar of support, because not only does Xiaoman'er not need Yue Jiuyue to worry about her, but she can also take good care of Dazhuang, wiping his bottom, changing his diapers, and changing his clothes.
Liu Shi was responsible for feeding Da Zhuang water. Liu Shi was also worried that Da Zhuang was hungry, so after asking Yue Jiuyue, she cooked a pot of millet porridge and fed the rice water to Da Zhuang, who was crying loudly from hunger. So, there was no need for Yue Jiuyue to take care of Da Zhuang at all.
But she still had to stay at home. How could she feel at ease leaving only Liu and her two children at home, even though she held the indenture of Liu and her two children?
Sitting alone makes it easy for one's mind to wander.
Yue Jiuyue thought to herself, "The medical level in ancient times was so poor that even a common cold could kill a person. Is Liu's sudden stomachache just a regular stomachache? Or appendicitis? Or some other disease that I've never heard of?"
The children at home are still young, the older one is only five years old, and the younger one is not even 100 days old. What will happen to these two children if something really happens?
Can the eldest child take care of the two children on his own for the rest of his life? She thinks it's highly unlikely.
But with a stepmother comes a stepfather, and these two children are destined to live a life of misery from now on!
As I thought about it, it felt as if those imaginings had become reality, just like that little cabbage...
"Little bok choy, turning yellow in the field, two or three years old, lost its mother..."
As she hummed along, Yue Jiuyue became so immersed in the sadness of the lyrics that she couldn't pull herself out.
It wasn't until she heard Lin Chaobei and the others return that she was able to pull herself out of that grief.
Wiping away her tears, Yue Jiuyue hurried out, wanting to see how Liu was doing.
"Mom, we're back! My sister-in-law is alright, it was just a stomachache (stomach ulcer). Dr. Li gave her a massage, and she said she felt much better. He also gave her some medicine and said she shouldn't eat anything raw or cold..."
"Mother, why are you crying? Are you too worried about your sister-in-law? Mother, don't cry, don't cry, your sister-in-law is alright!"
Lin Chaobei rushed back quickly because he was afraid Yue Jiuyue would worry too much. Of course, he also came back to remind Liu Shi to cook some porridge for lunch, preferably millet porridge.
Unexpectedly, he saw his mother crying!
How long has it been since he last saw his mother cry?
In his memory, he would only see it once in a while when he was very young, because that day was the anniversary of his father's death, or because it was a holiday.
Then there was the day my eldest brother married his wife. But that day, his mother must have cried tears of joy.
Lin Chaobei tried to put his arm around Yue Jiuyue and pat her to comfort her, but Yue Jiuyue pushed him away fiercely and said:
"Stop crying! You just yawned!"
It's perfectly normal to cry while watching TV, listening to music, or reading a novel. She just made herself cry while singing; what's the big deal?
Knowing that Liu was alright, Yue Jiuyue's grief vanished instantly. She patted Lin Chaobei's arm and asked:
"What else did the doctor say? Could you please finish telling me everything at once?"
