They were just a short walk ahead when they reached Lotus Village. Luckily, they had taken Sun Yumei back to her parents' home once before, so Cai Xiaolian and Gu Nian were able to find their way.
Gu Shouxin turned the oxcart around and sped up.
Gu Xin couldn't stop her tears from falling. Sister-in-law Yu Mei was the kindest person to her besides her own family.
Sister-in-law Yumei would give her delicious food, and sometimes when she saw that her hair was disheveled, she would tie it up for her. She would teach her the names of all kinds of wildflowers, tell her when the flowers would bloom, and even sewed her a small purse.
Something suddenly appeared in her clenched fist, and Gu Xin stopped crying.
Yes, I have jade beads.
Will Sister Yumei feel better after eating the jade beads?
Last time, my aunt drank the jade bead water and gave birth to Renren without any problems.
As Gu Xin thought this, the jade fish in her hand spat out a jade bead, which then disappeared and melted into Gu Xin's palm.
Gu Xin held the jade beads in her hand, noticing that her grandmother was still staring at Yu Mei's sister-in-law and didn't immediately feed them to her.
"Water, water..." Sun Yumei's lips were cracked, and she was calling for water.
"Grandma, I'll go get it." Gu Xin was afraid that Grandma Gu would get it first, so she moved a little and took the gourd out of the small basket.
The small basket contained four gourds of water, prepared by Cai Xiaolian, one for each member of the family.
Gu Xin took her gourd. She had been drinking water in the study all day, so there was still a lot left in the gourd.
With her back to Grandma Gu, she opened the lid, put the jade beads in, shook them, and then turned around to hand them to Grandma Gu.
Grandma Gu held the gourd and carefully fed Sun Yumei water.
He drank half of the gourd's water, and the other half dripped down his chin.
Gu Xin silently prayed in her heart: God, please let Sister Yu Mei get better. Sister Yu Mei is a good person. Please let Sister Yu Mei get better.
The oxcart entered the city, and Grandma Gu pointed out a direction. After walking for a short while, they arrived at a small alley. Unlike the pharmacies on the main street that open their doors to do business, it looked more like someone's residence.
"Second son, go wait for the Sun brothers at the city gate. Xinxin and I will stay here. Xinxin, go knock on the door and tell them that Gu Xianglan from the crossroads has arrived." After getting out of the car, Grandma Gu picked up Sun Yumei again and instructed the father and daughter.
"Yes, Mother." Gu Shouxin nodded obediently.
Even though he had many memories of his mother being very affectionate, seeing it with his own eyes still shocked him.
Look, he casually picked up a person who was on the verge of death without even panting.
Look at this introduction, XXX from Sanchakou Village has arrived.
As expected of his mother, she's extraordinary!
An old woman opened the door. Upon hearing the name Gu Xianglan and looking outside, she quickly came out to greet her.
Following behind Grandma Gu, Gu Xin had no interest in looking at the flowers and plants in the yard; her attention was entirely focused on Sun Yumei.
"Old sister, you absolutely must save this person. She has seven brothers. If something happens to her here, you'll be in for a world of trouble!" Grandma Gu said rudely to an old woman of about the same age as her as soon as she entered the main room.
"Gu Xianglan, are you out of your mind? You know it'll be trouble, yet you still send people here to me? Do you think I'm living too peacefully?" the old woman said speechlessly.
"Yeah, I'm sick. I have a disease that likes to torment you. Stop talking nonsense! I've left her here, you need to take a look at her, she's pregnant, and we don't even know what's going on with the baby..."
