He had actually been feeling unwell for many days, but he knew the old man had no money, so even if he spoke up, it would be pointless. The clinic wasn't a charity; they weren't going to treat him for free.
He never expected that he would be so sick. His body was burning hot as if he were on fire, his throat was extremely dry and sore, and his eyes were stuck shut and he couldn't open them no matter what.
He thought he was going to die quietly, but unexpectedly, the Third Master and the Fourth Master arrived just in time and saved his life.
He was saved by Third Master and Fourth Master, and he will repay their kindness even if he has to work like a cow or a horse!
Of course, this was just what Da Niu was thinking, and he didn't say it out loud.
He was originally a servant bought by the Lin family, so whatever he did was his duty and obligation. Saying these things would only make him seem pretentious.
He only needs to know the truth in his heart.
"Here you go, the millet porridge is ready. One bowl for each of you, and one egg for each of you. Be careful, it's hot!"
Lin Chaobei handed the bowl to Da Niu and began distributing the eggs. Seeing his listless appearance, he raised his hand and tapped the eggs against the edge of the table a few times, breaking the shells into tiny pieces. He then easily peeled the shells off and placed them directly into Da Niu's bowl.
Lin Chaobei's egg-peeling skills amazed Xiaoman'er. She always peeled the egg white off along with the shell, and she had to be very careful each time, otherwise she wouldn't be able to eat a whole egg. She didn't know why.
There's no rule about not talking while eating in their family, so the only sounds at the dinner table are chopsticks hitting bowls and chewing food. Little Man would pick up a piece of pickled vegetable every now and then, chewing it with gusto, and then Lin Chaonan would scold her.
"Eat less pickled vegetables! Too much will make you cough!"
"What meal can be without pickled vegetables? That's so tasteless!"
While Lin Chaobei spoke protectively, his hands didn't hesitate; he directly placed a thinnest piece of pickled vegetable on Xiaoman'er's plate and said:
"Eat this one piece of pickled vegetable, and you'll have to finish this bowl of rice."
The little girl nodded repeatedly. Anyway, there were only a few mouthfuls of rice left in the bowl, and having some pickled vegetables was better than nothing.
Lin Chaonan looked at the uncle and nephew but didn't say much; he only offered a brief reminder.
But there's one question he has to ask!
"Brother, we've been here for two days now, and we still haven't seen sister-in-law, she..."
Lin Chaonan didn't ask the question directly because Lin Chaodong's letter didn't mention Liu Shi becoming a wet nurse; it only contained complaints and demands for money.
Upon hearing this question, Lin Chaobei stared intently at Lin Chaodong, waiting for the answer.
"Oh, your sister-in-law is now working as a wet nurse in a wealthy family. She's usually busy. She just started and hasn't signed a contract of servitude yet. Unlike those born into the household, she has to perform well to secure her position."
There's nothing wrong with saying this. The reason I didn't mention it in the previous letter was simply because there was no need to, since he was asking for money in the letter.
"Oh, it seems we won't be seeing our sister-in-law this time. But what about Dazhuang? He's only six months old. He can't just stay at home with his brother, going hungry one day and eating another the next. He's already not in good health, and if he doesn't eat well... Sigh!"
Lin Chaodong understood the meaning of Lin Chaobei's unfinished words even before Lin Chaobei finished speaking.
Therefore, he wanted to go home even more.
