Yun Wansheng was inwardly unconvinced, but outwardly he readily agreed: "Dad, don't worry. My mother suffered so much, I'm heartbroken for her, how could I possibly ask her for food? If I did that, would I even be human?"
Yun Youtian snorted coldly. Although he didn't believe Yun Wansheng's words, he didn't say anything more, thinking that he could just watch his wife finish eating. Having made up his mind, Yun Youtian took the eggs and, ignoring Yun Wansheng who was eagerly trying to 'help' him take the eggs to the kitchen, went to the kitchen himself.
"Dad?" Yun Fusheng was helping Wang Xuemei tend the fire when he saw Yun Youtian come in and quickly called out.
Wang Xuemei was washing the sweet potatoes and cutting them into chunks, trimming off any rotten parts. Hearing Yun Fusheng's voice, she turned and called out to Yun Youtian.
"Hmm." Yun Youtian nodded and said, "Xuemei, don't peel it so much. As long as it's not spoiled, it's edible. Be careful with the money at home. Your mother needs to see a doctor. Save as much as you can."
Wang Xuemei had been wondering how to suggest a shamanic ritual for Wang Shufang, as she felt Wang Shufang seemed more possessed than ill. Hearing Yun Youtian say, "Your mother needs to see a doctor," she felt immediately relieved and nodded, saying, "Yes, Dad, I know." After a few seconds, she asked with concern, "By the way, Dad, what exactly happened to Mom? What did the doctor say?"
"Sigh..." Yun Youtian couldn't help but sigh and said, "Even the doctors can't figure it out. They say it's a brain problem, too complicated. Only by going to a big hospital in a big city for examination can we possibly find out. You know our family's situation, how can we afford to go to a big hospital? Let alone going to the hospital, we can't even afford a trip to a big city."
"So, the doctor said to treat it as an allergy first, and see if it works."
"Dad, what does allergy mean?" Wang Xuemei asked.
Yun Youtian shook his head and said, "I don't know either. The doctor said that your mother looked like she was bitten by some kind of insect behind her ear. It could be an allergic reaction, but I don't know the exact cause."
"I see..." Wang Xuemei feigned a thoughtful expression, then asked with concern, "Then... can Mom's illness be cured?"
"Who knows?" Yun Youtian was a little annoyed and wanted to skip the topic. He simply handed the egg in his hand to Wang Xuemei and said, "Cook this for your mother so she can have some nourishment."
"Okay, Dad." Wang Xuemei nodded and said, "How about I steam the eggs into steamed egg custard for Mom? It'll be more nutritious."
Thinking that his wife couldn't possibly secretly feed the second son some steamed egg custard in front of them, Yun Youtian nodded at Wang Xuemei's suggestion and said, "Then let's steam it into egg custard." With that, he prepared to leave.
Wang Xuemei naturally wouldn't let Yun Youtian leave so easily; she had finally found an opportunity to express her thoughts.
Actually, it didn't really matter whether she told him or not, since she didn't have any feelings for Wang Shufen. But she had just secretly asked Yun Fusheng and found out that they had spent more than ten yuan, and her heart ached so much.
Knowing that if the medicine is effective, you have to continue taking it and spend more money; if it's ineffective, you have to find another way, see another doctor, and spend more money again, your heart aches even more.
So, seeing that Yun Youtian was about to leave, he quickly said, "Hey Dad, I have an idea I'd like to share with you, would you like to take a look?"
