Aunt Chi and Madam Zhang prepared the betrothal gifts together.
Even though the two are already married, the girl still needs to be given what she is entitled to.
Because there were some things that Pinghe Town didn't have, the two went to the neighboring town.
I never expected to run into Zhu Zhuliang!
"Miss Zhu! What a coincidence! What are you doing here? Would you like to come to my house for a meal?"
Aunt Chi pulled Zhu Zhuliang along, her eyes filled with intense longing.
She really liked this girl.
If it weren't for the lack of a suitable son in the family, or because she felt her son wasn't good enough for the girl, Aunt Chi would have made her move long ago.
"Auntie, I've been here for a few days now. I even went to my sister-in-law's restaurant a few days ago."
Zhu Zhuliang peeked ahead but found nothing.
Am I seeing things?
That shouldn't be the case.
What are you looking for?
"No, no."
"Would you like to come over for dinner?"
Zhu Zhuliang didn't hesitate and nodded in agreement: "Okay, then I'll trouble you, Auntie."
Madam Zhang asked in a low voice, "Who is this girl? Is she engaged?"
Zhu Zhuliang: ...
"This Miss Zhu is Kuo'er's cousin. She shouldn't be engaged yet."
Aunt Chi wasn't sure.
Madam Zhang was taken aback: "Such a high status, and so beautiful too! Oh my, how rare! Why don't I have a daughter?"
"You're just looking forward to having a granddaughter. A granddaughter is so much better. I'm worried all the time that I won't live to see Tangtang get married."
"...Well, now that you mention it, it's true that granddaughters are good."
"Ha ha."
The two sisters-in-law got along exceptionally well.
It was a perfect match.
Because of Zhu Zhuliang, the two of them made their selections very quickly, finishing in less than half an hour.
Then we went home together.
On the way, Aunt Chi knew that Zhu Zhuliang was not talkative, so she did not ask her anything.
Zhu Zhuliang leaned against the carriage and actually fell asleep.
This is a rare occurrence for her.
"Let's go quickly, the young master's illness has worsened again."
"Sigh, we've already started burning charcoal. I wonder how the young master will survive the deep winter."
Two maids carrying a pile of things walked from a distance.
She was a maid in the Shen family.
As soon as Zhu Zhuliang stepped off the carriage, her pupils contracted sharply when she saw the white jade gourds hanging from the waists of the two maids.
Shen Nanxun is actually here?
"Miss Zhu, what's wrong?" Aunt Chi had just gotten off the carriage when she saw Zhu Zhuliang staring at the maid next door in utter surprise.
He then asked, "Do you know Shen Nanxun?"
Zhu Zhuliang steadied herself and asked, clenching her fist, "Shen Nanxun? Shen Nanxun from the Yongchang Earl's Mansion?"
"right."
"It really is him..."
Zhu Zhuliang murmured something, then said nothing more.
Aunt Chi didn't ask any more questions, and the three of them returned to the courtyard.
"Cough cough cough, cough cough cough..."
As I passed by the front yard, I heard Sister Chi coughing incessantly, as if she were coughing up her internal organs.
Chi Dashan's voice also came out: "Why is your cough suddenly so bad? I need to go find Uncle Li to take a look."
"No, cough cough, it's nothing, don't bother Uncle Li for now, cough cough cough..."
Sister-in-law Chi's voice was intermittent, and her muffled coughs seemed to be right next to one's ear.
Aunt Chi rushed in, her face filled with anxiety: "What trouble? He's coughing like this, hurry up and let your Uncle Li go and take a look."
After rushing inside, Aunt Chi immediately helped her eldest daughter-in-law rush out.
Sister-in-law Chi was already feeling unwell and very weak. Her mother-in-law grabbed her and pulled her away before she could even refuse!
"Mom, be gentle."
Chi Dashan hurriedly chased after him, shouting.
Why is he in such a hurry?
"Sister-in-law, slow down." Madam Zhang quickly caught up and helped her sister-in-law on either side.
When they saw each other's faces clearly, they were all startled: "Oh my, niece-in-law, why does your face suddenly look so scary?"
It's bluish-white!
How can we delay any longer?
Aunt Chi scolded him with a displeased expression, "If you're not feeling well, go see your Uncle Li! You're not an outsider, are you?"
This eldest daughter-in-law is wonderful in every way!
I just like to shoulder everything myself when things go wrong!
You still don't take your health seriously!
You're feeling so uncomfortable, but you still won't say anything!
What's going on here?
What if a minor illness turns into a major one?
"Mom, I'm not that dramatic."
In Sister Chi's mind, if you're sick, you should just tough it out.
People who are always going to the doctor are not good at managing their lives!
Although she's rich now, Sister-in-law Chi has still developed this habit and can't change it.
However, if it were her in-laws or her son's sister-in-law, she definitely wouldn't drag it out!
If it were just her and the mountains, she would want to see if they could make it through.
As they were talking, the group arrived at Doctor Li's courtyard.
The old man is practicing Tai Chi.
"Brother Li, look at your eldest daughter-in-law, her face is all pale and bluish!"
"That's right, that's right."
Dr. Li stood there, grabbed the other person's wrist, and focused on taking their pulse.
A moment later, Dr. Li reprimanded Li Xiaomei with displeasure.
"What's wrong with you? You're so sick, why don't you come see me? Is it that far away?"
As a doctor, what I dislike most is patients who drag out their illness and are disobedient!
Often, illnesses are simply allowed to fester and develop into serious problems!
