"I've told you before, they're not a good family. They live so crowded together, and there's endless quarreling every day. Our ears are almost hurting!"
"that is."
"I heard that their whole family moved here from far away and their lives are very tight. How could they not be tempted by the free vaccine this time?"
"That was too much. It knocked down the doctors and nurses."
The family returned home covered in dust and dirt. After they got home and took a nap, they woke up to find that their illness seemed to be getting worse.
Gu Ruizhuo was very fierce yesterday, but today he was lying in bed like a sick cat.
Bai Cuiyan quickly found the medicine she had been prescribed some time ago. After flipping through it, she realized that there were only a few pills left. If she didn't get better and wanted to continue taking the medicine, she would have to take money out to buy more.
"Mom, let me have one too."
Gu Wanrou came out of the room, feeling exhausted and dizzy, as if she was going to fall to the ground in the next second.
Seeing that Bai Cuiyan still had a few pills in her hand, he stepped forward to snatch them.
Bai Cuiyan flipped her over, and her head hit the wall. "There are only a few pills left at home, and your brother hasn't even taken them yet. And you're trying to snatch them away. Do you have any conscience?"
As he said this, he snorted, took the medicine and turned into the room.
I fed Gu Ruizhuo two pills first.
Gu Ruizhuo lay in bed, looking at Bai Cuiyan with a look of despair, "Mom, do you think I'm going to die soon? Why is my illness so serious? Why don't they give us vaccines?"
"Will we die if we continue like this?"
"Mom, I don't want to die."
Gu Ruizhuo cried so sadly that Bai Cuiyan felt her heart was about to break when she heard it. She quickly comforted her son, "Don't worry, you'll be fine. Even if you don't want it, we will find a way to buy it for you."
After hearing these words, Gu Ruizhuo felt relieved.
Bai Cuiyan stayed here to watch over him for a while, and he finally fell asleep.
Bai Cuiyan dragged her tired body out of the room and saw the whole family sitting in the living room, leaning on the sofa with a dejected look on their faces.
They all felt very uncomfortable.
"Mom and Dad," Bai Cuiyan took out the remaining pills, "These are the only ones left. We have to find a way to buy some more. Xiao Zhuo's illness can't be delayed."
When they heard that there were only a few pills left, the old lady and the old man gave up their desire to take the pills.
"We still have a little money in our pockets. How about we pool it together and use it to buy some medicine?" The old man took out his wrinkled change and counted it up, which turned out to be only a few dollars.
Although these few dollars don't make much difference, they are enough to buy some medicine.
Bai Cuiyan and Gu Dakai wrapped themselves tightly and went out again.
Let Gu Wanrou cook at home.
After Gu Wanrou kneaded the dough, she felt sore all over her back and waist, and her head was buzzing. She wanted to take a rest, so she turned around and prepared to go to her room.
After I went out, I heard the old man and the old lady talking.
"We should give that girl a pill. If she dies, we won't be able to use her to exchange for the betrothal money, right?"
"That's right. Let's give her some too. As long as she can hang on until this illness is over, everything will be fine."
"If it weren't for this, would she still be given medicine?"
The old lady's voice instantly rose, and the old man reached out and pulled her, "Keep your voice down, or that damn girl will hear you."
"Now that we have discussed it, let's talk it over with Dakai."
"But in the end, we still have to focus on Xiao Zhuo first."
As the two of them were discussing this, Gu Wanrou felt disheartened. She stood by the wall, sneered, then returned to her room and lay on the bed.
It turns out that they brought me to the capital just because I was pretty good-looking, in exchange for some betrothal money.
As she thought about it, Gu Wanrou touched her face and laughed at herself.
Only this face is worth a little money.
She felt drowsy soon after lying in bed and fell asleep.
When Gu Dakai and Bai Cuiyan came back from outside, they were both worried because they didn't buy many pills and it was impossible for everyone in the family to take them.
Gu Wanrou didn't go out even after hearing the sound.
After they finished their discussion and left, Bai Cuiyan stuffed two pills into her mouth and said, "That's all. Your grandparents gave it to you. You should remember this and be grateful to them in the future."
When Gu Wanrou heard these words, she just found them funny.
If she hadn't heard her grandparents' conversation, she probably wouldn't have known that her parents were planning this.
If I wasn’t still somewhat useful, I probably wouldn’t have taken these two pills.
She smiled and swallowed the medicine anyway.
The family held on for two days, but the old lady and the old man's illness became more serious, but there were only two pills left at home.
Gu Dakai stuffed two pills into the old lady's hands and said, "Take it first. I'll find a way to buy medicine after you finish it."
The old lady looked at Gu Ruizhuo, hesitated for a moment, then turned her head away and leaned back on the bed, panting heavily. "Give it to my darling grandson. I can still hold on a little longer. I've come this far over the years. Can such a small thing really bring me down?"
After the old lady finished speaking, her breathing became louder and louder.
Gu Dakai said nothing, turned and left the room, letting his son take the medicine.
When Gu Wanrou finished cooking in the afternoon, Bai Cuiyan came up to call the old lady to eat. When she entered the house, there was no sound. She hurried over to see that the old lady's body was stiff.
"mom."
Bai Cuiyan screamed, and the old man who was sitting downstairs drinking water hurried upstairs and saw his wife lying on the bed, motionless and with a pale face.
His hands also trembled twice, and he pressed down hard on the chair next to him.
Gu Dakai and the others hurried upstairs and looked at the old lady whose body had already stiffened. Everyone had a lot of thoughts in their minds, but only Gu Wanrou stood beside her with an expressionless face.
If the old lady had taken those two pills yesterday, she wouldn't have died immediately.
I don’t know what to say, as he killed himself for his grandson.
The whole family cried sadly, and Gu Wanrou pretended to cry beside them. Gu Dakai went to find the staff here to handle the funeral.
Gu Ruizhuo's illness has improved a lot, and he was really sad to learn that the old lady had passed away.
Because the old lady gave him a lot of good things on a daily basis, after the old lady passed away, maybe no one would hide things for him.
I'm really crying now.
Because they were in the imperial capital and had no relatives in their hometown, they just did a simple thing.
The whole family was crying, and Gu Wanrou was burning paper beside them with an expressionless face.
The neighbors who heard about it didn't have much sympathy, most of them just thought they deserved it.
