Yu Jiao felt a little uncomfortable when she heard this. She took out a handkerchief and wiped Fei Ge'er's tears. "I'll go get the medicine. You use the wet towel to wipe your mother's face first."
Fei Ge nodded obediently and went to fetch water with a handkerchief.
Yu Qizhe did not go into the inner room out of courtesy. When he saw Yu Jiao coming out, he said, "You stay at home and take care of your mother-in-law. I'll go buy some medicine."
Yu Jiao nodded, found the paper and pen that Fei Ge'er used for calligraphy, wrote a prescription and gave it to Yu Qizhe, "Thank you for your hard work..."
Before the word "δΊ†" came out, Yu Qizhe's palm was pressed on Yu Jiao's lips, and the soft touch made his palm itch.
"Don't say such polite words between you and me from now on." After saying this, Yu Qizhe withdrew his hand, stuffed the prescription into his sleeve, and walked out of the yard.
Yu Jiao stood there for a while before she came to her senses. She touched her chest and the heart in her chest, and it seemed that she was becoming less and less resistant to Yu Qizhe.
Seeing Fei Ge'er carrying a basin of water into the room, Yu Jiao took it.
After entering the inner room and placing the basin beside the bed, Yu Jiao wrung out the handkerchief and wiped Liu Sanniang's hot neck and cheeks. She then rinsed it with cold water, wrung out the wet handkerchief, and placed it on her forehead.
Liu Sanniang was not used to her care and said unnaturally, "I can do it myself."
Yu Jiao poured her a glass of water and said, "I'm going to buy a house in the city. You and Fei Ge'er can move in."
Liu Sanniang held the cup, was stunned for a moment, and refused, "No, we are used to living in the village, we are not going anywhere. You... don't give me money anymore in the future. Fifth brother is good to you now and won't say anything, but if you keep helping us like this, he will inevitably feel disgusted after a long time. You two should live a good life and don't let this cause any rift between you."
Yu Jiao rarely felt a sense of motherhood from Liu Sanniang.
"Since mother thinks so, we should move to the town." Yu Jiao said, "Our family's land was taken away by my uncle, and there is not much work to do in the village. If you move to the town, you can earn some money by helping people sew clothes and wash clothes. There are academies in the city, and it is convenient for Fei Ge'er to study. Why do you have to stay in this house?"
No one can support anyone for a lifetime, even though she is Liu Sanniang's daughter. Although filial piety is a must, Liu Sanniang is not that old. She is only over 30 years old and there are still many things she can do. Yu Jiao is more inclined to believe that women should be independent and self-reliant.
What's more, there are too many unexpected things in life, and no one knows what will happen tomorrow.
It is always less reliable to rely on yourself than on others.
Hearing her say this, Liu Sanniang couldn't help but feel a little tempted. There really wasn't much work to do in the village. If she were in the city, she could go to work for a wealthy family. Liu Sanniang wanted to earn money. Fei Ge'er was still so young, and it would take several years for him to grow up and support the family.
The most important thing is that someone from the capital has already come, so it will be safer to move away from Mengjia Village.
"It will cost a lot of money to buy a house in the city..." Liu Sanniang hesitated.
Yu Jiao took the teacup from her hand and placed it on the wooden cabinet beside the bed. "Don't worry about the money for buying the house. I can afford it, and it's not the Yu family's money."
Although Liu Sanniang did not have much mother-daughter affection for her, she was not the kind of person who was greedy for money and took advantage of others. During these visits, the money was left by Yu Jiao voluntarily, and Liu Sanniang never asked her for it.
No matter what, since she has inherited this body, she will also bear the responsibilities that come with it.
"Do you have a business outside? It's not safe for a girl to be out in public, so you should be more careful." Liu Sanniang couldn't help but remind her.
No matter how much she hated Yu Jiao, this was the daughter her husband had protected until his death. Liu Sanniang just didn't want to see her, but she still hoped from the bottom of her heart that Yu Jiao could live in peace, otherwise her biological daughter would have died in vain...
It was rare for her to chat with Liu Sanniang in such a calm manner. Yu Jiao took over the conversation and said, "I don't have a business. I learned medical skills from the old man of the Yu family. If it is inconvenient for women to see a doctor, I will help with diagnosis and prescription."
Liu Sanniang's originally lifeless eyes suddenly looked at Yu Jiao, with a complicated expression. After a long while, she said, "You...you treated someone?"
Yu Jiao didn't understand and nodded.
Liu Sanniang's face darkened and she said angrily, "You turned a deaf ear to your father's words? Why are you so disobedient?"
The first few times Yu Jiao came over, he never mentioned to her about seeing patients, and when he gave her money a few times, he just said that he earned it himself.
Liu Sanniang was secretly annoyed at herself for being negligent. She should have asked a few more questions at the beginning.
Yu Jiao didn't understand why Liu Sanniang's expression changed. The memory of Meng Yujiao in her mind had become increasingly faint. She could only barely remember Meng Qingyun's appearance, but had no idea what he had said.
Liu Sanniang was already somewhat exasperated and blamed, "Why are you so worrying? Over the years, your father and I have been doing this for you..."
Liu Sanniang almost blurted out "hiding and hiding, not daring to see anyone", but fortunately she stopped herself in time and started coughing suddenly.
Fei Ge'er was leaning against the bed. Seeing that she was angry at Yu Jiao again, he patted Liu Sanniang's back and begged, "Mom, don't be mean to my sister again. My sister finally came back."
Liu Sanniang coughed for a long time before she stopped, and Yu Jiao poured her another bowl of water.
After moistening her throat, Liu Sanniang regained her rationality. She frowned and scolded in a cold voice, "Your father told you not to practice medicine and not to show off your medical skills in front of outsiders. Have you forgotten? When I returned to Mengjia Village from Huairou, I told you to forget everything about Huairou, especially the person who taught you medicine and your medical skills!"
