Chapter 211 Dalang, it’s time to take medicine (21)
When Chu Ran woke up, he opened his eyes and saw a large area of pale spider webs hanging on the walls and the ceiling. He stood up suddenly in astonishment, but suddenly felt dizzy and felt severe pain all over his body.
After resting for a while, he finally felt less dizzy. When he saw clearly the gray and patched clothes he was wearing, he was stunned and looked at them coldly for a long time.
He tugged at his clothes with his fingers in disgust. He felt as if he had never worn clothes with such poor fabric. Who was he? Why did he suddenly come up with this idea?
Chu Ran, who couldn't remember who he was, panicked and looked around. When he saw the dilapidated and worn walls of the house, he became even more uneasy. He didn't care about the pain in his body, propped himself up, slowly got up, and walked out while holding the wall.
After finally walking out of the room, he saw a pretty girl of about fifteen or sixteen walking towards him with a bowl in her hand.
Wei Er Niang was just thinking about feeding Chu Ran medicine when she saw Chu Ran coming out with a pale face. She immediately walked over in surprise and said happily, "You finally woke up? That's great! But you have a lot of injuries and just had a fever, so you should continue to rest in bed... Can I help you go back?"
Wei Erniang said this with a blush on her face, but she still had the medicine in her hand, so she hurriedly brought the medicine into the shabby room where Chu Ran had just come out, and then quickly came out, wanting to help Chu Ran back.
Chu Ran was weak and tired of standing, so he was supported by her and went back.
"You, you are my sister?" Chu Ran asked with some confusion, but he felt very unfamiliar with this girl, not as familiar as between relatives.
Wei Erniang shyly shook her head and said, "My dear, I am not your sister. I saw you injured and unconscious on the mountain a few days ago, so I rescued you. You just woke up now. In fact, I don't know your identity."
Chu Ran felt even more confused. It turned out that this was not his home. No wonder he always had a weird feeling and felt that his home should not be so bare.
"Well, young lady, has anyone come to see me recently? I can't seem to remember who I am..." Chu Ran asked Wei Er Niang with some anticipation.
"What? You can't remember your identity?!" When Wei Er Niang heard what he said, she was so shocked that her voice became louder, sounding a little sharp, like a question and dissatisfaction.
Chu Ran was startled by her sudden outburst. Wei Er Niang realized that her tone was a little inappropriate, and quickly made up for it, saying, "I'm sorry, I was just a little shocked. I didn't expect you to be so seriously injured that you even lost your memory... If you can't remember your identity, your family will be worried, right?"
Chu Ran frowned and nodded, but he really knew nothing about what happened in the past. He didn't know who he was, where he came from, or why he was hurt.
Seeing that he was in a very bad mood, Wei Erniang quickly picked up the bowl of medicine and said, "Don't worry, maybe you will remember it in a few days. Drink the medicine now, your injury cannot be delayed."
Chu Ran did not refuse. He took the medicine and drank it in one gulp. Wei Er Niang felt a little regretful that she could not feed him herself.
"Thank you for saving my life, young lady. May I know where this place is?" Chu Ran asked Wei Er Niang for information.
Wei Erniang had always wanted to curry favor with a noble, so she naturally told Chu Ran everything he wanted to ask. She also subtly stated that her family had sold the ten acres of land on which they depended for their livelihood in order to hire a doctor and buy medicine for him.
Chu Ran was very moved after hearing this. He felt that the Wei family was really kind and righteous. In order to save a stranger like him, they were willing to sell their land. This was the treatment only relatives could get!
Chu Ran's impression of the Wei family immediately improved, and he no longer felt that the shabby house he lived in was too shabby. Although his family was very poor, they were still willing to sell their land for him. This made the moral character of the Wei family seem even more valuable. If he complained that he didn't live comfortably, wouldn't that be shameless?
As a result, Chu Ran, who had lost his memory, was fooled by Wei Er Niang and other members of the Wei family. Even though he had poor food every day and lived in an extremely uncomfortable place, he never complained.
However, no matter how bad the conditions were, after a few days, Chu Ran's injuries had healed a lot, and he could go out for a walk with a cane. Maybe because he was rescued by Wei Er Niang, so he usually went out with Wei Er Niang. He got used to it and didn't think there was anything wrong with it. Instead, he thought Wei Er Niang was gentle and considerate.
"What's going on over there? Why is it so noisy?" Chu Ran saw from afar a lot of people gathered outside a house's yard, talking and laughing, it seemed very lively.
When Wei Er Niang looked there, she immediately recognized that it was the newly built house of her step-brother Wei Dalang. Today was the day of the housewarming party and the villagers were going there to have the banquet.
"It's a housewarming party held by a family in the village." Wei Erniang said lightly. She didn't want this nobleman to have anything to do with Wei Dalang. She always felt that her cheap elder brother had become unfathomable since he was kicked out of the house due to a serious injury, as if he could see through people's hearts.
"Housewarming party? Then let's go and take a look. The house seems to be built quite elegantly." Chu Ran said. Although he had lost his memory, he still had common sense. He knew that the more guests came to a housewarming party, the happier the host would be. After all, popularity meant a prosperous family, and a new house wanted strong popularity.
Wei Erniang choked. She didn't expect Chu Ran to have such an idea. She quickly said, "That family doesn't get along well with our family and they have bad tempers. What's more, they didn't invite us. I'm afraid it will be embarrassing if I go..."
Chu Ran had to give up the idea after hearing this. Since they were the enemy of his benefactor, he definitely couldn't go. He could only ask regretfully: "Then how did your two families become enemies? Do they despise the poor and love the rich?"
He looked at the brand new and beautiful new house from afar, and thought of the Wei family's shabby house with leaks everywhere, and guessed.
Wei Erniang's expression froze immediately. Although she didn't like Wei Dalang, she couldn't go against her conscience and say that he was snobbish. After all, when he was kicked out of the house, her family was the rich one. If anyone was snobbish, it was their family...
She stammered, "No... that family is my half brother and sister-in-law, they were adopted out after the family split up... they don't have a good relationship with my family, so they may have some misunderstandings about my parents and brothers..."
She didn't mention a word about the misunderstanding or why the relationship was bad. As expected, after hearing her vague words, Chu Ran thought he knew the truth based on his own imagination. He felt sorry for his benefactor and said, "It must be that your eldest brother and sister-in-law felt that our parents favored their half-siblings, so they became resentful and wanted to leave and set up their own family, right?"
Wei Erniang looked away and nodded vaguely, hoping very much that they would not talk about this topic anymore. She was afraid that the more she talked about it, the more she would be exposed, and it would be difficult to end it.
