Chapter 145 Qiao Er Has a Fever
"You dare!"
The Lou family was really shocked.
"Second sister, let's go, hum."
Zeng Xiaoyan took the opportunity to pull her second sister, and with Xu Zhichun and Aunt Zhuer protecting her, they hurried away.
The Lou family watched helplessly and did not dare to stop it.
Everyone knew that their family was not in the right in this matter. They could handle Zeng Xiaojuan alone, but now one, two, three, or four more people showed up, and one of them was a man, so they couldn't handle it anymore.
The incident became a big deal and everyone in the village knew about it, so they were no longer in the right to pursue the case.
The Lou family members all looked unhappy.
No one who has lived a good life wants to be poor forever. But since their family has no ability to make a comeback, they have a wealthy relative, so they desperately want to grab him and let the big boss lead them to success.
But the boss is not stupid. What he wants is mutual benefit, mutual support and resource exchange. Who is willing to bring a burden along?
Not to mention that Mr. Zeng is not a big boss in the general sense, he is a stingy miser.
How confident do you have to be to want to pluck the feathers from a stingy person?
The Lou family's dissatisfaction with the Zeng family grew day by day, and they became more and more disdainful of Zeng Xiaojuan, taking their anger out on her at every turn.
This time when Qiao'er had a fever, the Lou family tacitly tried to work together to force Zeng Xiaojuan to go to her mother's home to ask for an opportunity for the Lou family. They were forcing her and many words had not been said yet, but Zeng Xiaoyan and others came unexpectedly.
Screwed their plans.
"It seems like we're really incompatible with the Zeng family. We're really incompatible. If we run into the Zeng family, we're doomed."
Aunt Lou San couldn't help complaining in anger.
Everyone heard this and felt a stir in their hearts, as if it were really the case.
Jiang couldn't help but say, "Mother's words really make sense. Before Zeng came to live with us, we lived in the city, our business was going well, we had no worries about food and clothing, and we could even hire someone to work for us. But after Zeng came into our family, we suffered a series of misfortunes."
Aunt Lou sneered, it’s true.
Lou Er's face also darkened, and his anger rose.
Zeng was timid and cowardly, as if she was born to be bullied. Normally, I would just hit her and scold her when I saw her, otherwise I would feel sorry for her cowardly look.
If it weren't for her reputation as a daughter of the Zeng family, who would be willing to marry her? It's meaningless.
But as a daughter of the Zeng family, this little value has been lost, so why keep her at home to be an eyesore?
Zeng Xiaoyan and the others rushed to the city clinic. The doctor frowned and scolded them as soon as he saw them: "Why did you wait until you were this feverish to bring him here?"
After the consultation, prescription, and payment, Zeng Xiaoyan added money and asked to let the child lie down in the back room of the inn to rest for a while while she prepared a dose of medicine in the clinic before leaving. The clinic provided this service, and since the child's condition was not good, they agreed.
"Okay, we'll provide the charcoal and the medicine pot, and you'll have to boil the medicine yourself. Drink it right away, and rest for a quarter of an hour at most before you leave."
"Okay, thank you, Doctor Tang."
Xu Zhichun said, "Sister Xiaojuan, let Aunt Zhu'er accompany you to boil the medicine. Xiaoyan and I will take care of Qiao'er here, don't worry."
"Well, okay, thank you for your hard work."
Zeng Xiaojuan was anxious and flustered, and had no idea what to do. She hurried away until someone made a decision for her.
Aunt Zhu'er was careful and attentive, and with her around, there would be no mistakes in making the medicine, so she accompanied Zeng Xiaojuan.
Liang Mingliang found a place outside the compartment to sit and wait. The compartment was not big and could not accommodate so many people.
Qiao'er, as thin as a withered stick, lay there, soft, motionless, and so fragile that it seemed as if he would be broken if touched.
Zeng Xiaoyan gritted her teeth and cursed.
"Sister Zhichun, how can I help my second sister and Qiao'er?"
Zeng Xiaoyan was also a little confused. She thought of many possibilities, but none of them was feasible.
Second sister is just like that. Expecting her to suddenly stand up and fight off the Lou family? That's just wishful thinking.
Divorce? Let's not talk about whether the Lou family would easily agree. Even if they did, she wouldn't necessarily feel better if she returned to the Zeng family. If not to the Zeng family, where else could she go?
But if she doesn't divorce, what will she do in the future?
Not every time it happens as coincidentally as today.
Qiao'er's condition was already very bad, and Zeng Xiaoyan didn't dare to imagine what would happen if she had come a moment later.
Xu Zhichun said softly, "Let's cure Qiao'er first."
Zeng Xiaoyan forced a smile and said, "Yeah."
Qiao'er moved and hummed as if she was uncomfortable. Zeng Xiaoyan was delighted. She touched her face and shook her gently: "Qiao'er, Qiao'er, I'm your aunt. You still recognize me, right?"
Qiao'er's eyelids moved, and her eyes slowly opened a crack. A bright light shone through the cracks, and a small smile appeared on her rosy little face. "Auntie."
"Yeah, auntie is here to see you. Please get better soon, okay?"
"Mother, mother"
"Your mother is going to make some medicine for you. She will be back soon. You must drink it obediently. You will be fine after drinking it. Auntie will also buy you something delicious."
"Thank you, thank you, Auntie."
"Good boy."
Zeng Xiaoyan gently stroked her face, unable to imagine what would happen if she sent such a well-behaved and fragile child back to the Lou family's den of wolves.
Xu Zhichun went out and poured a glass of warm water. Zeng Xiaoyan quickly hugged Qiao'er and snuggled up to her. Xu Zhichun fed her carefully, "Come, drink slowly."
Qiao'er opened her mouth obediently and took a sip of the warm water. Her eyes lit up and she was about to say something when Xu Zhichun smiled softly, "Drink it quickly and have a good rest. The medicine should be working soon."
She added Merrill Lynch to the warm water. Qiao'er was much younger than Mingxuan, so she didn't add much. It dissolved in the water and you couldn't see it unless you looked carefully. It definitely tasted sweet when you put it in your mouth.
Especially for a poor kid like Qiao'er who is rarely exposed to sweetness in daily life, this sweetness will be very obvious.
She wanted to exclaim "How sweet!" just now, but Xu Zhichun didn't dare let her exclaim.
People with a fever are thirsty and need to drink a lot of water. This warm water tastes sweet, and Qiaoer likes it very much. She doesn't want to waste it at all, so she drinks it all in one mouthful.
But Zeng Xiaoyan felt distressed and guilty: she really didn't know how to take care of people. She didn't even notice that her little niece was so thirsty.
It shouldn’t be like this. It’s absolutely wrong.
Qiao'er drank the water, and Xu Zhichun helped her lie down gently. "You stay here and watch. I'll go see how the medicine is going."
"Um."
Xu Zhichun went over to check the medicine and said a few words to comfort Zeng Xiaojuan. Then he smiled and said, "Qiao'er just woke up. Xiaoyan and I gave her a small bowl of warm water. She even asked about you. Sister Xiaojuan, why don't you go over and keep her company? She might be happier with you, her dear mother, by her side. Aunt Zhu'er and I are here to help."
Zeng Xiaojuan was still thinking about her daughter, so she naturally trusted her sister's little sister. She thanked her and left quickly.
After about a quarter of an hour, the medicine should be ready. Xu Zhichun sent Aunt Zhu'er away to ask if there was any gauze to filter it.
When Aunt Zhu'er left, she quickly poured a small amount of medicine into the bowl, added most of the warm water into the bowl, and walked to the side room with the medicine bowl.
