Chapter 341 Making Erbao Cry and Not Being Able to Soothe Him
After Yun Zhaoxue returned, she fed the two children and then let them sleep for a while.
The two children are extremely vigilant and will be woken up by the slightest noise in the house.
One time, she didn't want to sleep, so she picked up a book to read. When she turned the pages a little too much, she noticed that her two children were staring at her with their eyes open.
Erbao's eyes held a hint of resentment.
Later, she would sleep with them or hide away in a private space.
Suddenly, Zhuiying's voice came from outside the door, "Your Highness, we've found out."
The mother and her two children opened their eyes at the same time.
Yun Zhaoxue got out of bed, put on her shoes, and straightened her clothes. "He went out. What did he find out?"
"That wealthy merchant was named Li Guangyuan. He was originally a scholar from Lijia Village. He was chosen by a warehouse owner in the city to be his son-in-law. After the owner died, he inherited the warehouse. His business grew bigger and bigger, and he became a well-known wealthy merchant in the city. The villagers of Lijia Village were kind to him, lending him money and grain and helping him in various ways without asking for anything in return."
Back then, his parents spent all their money on their illness, and they couldn't even afford a funeral. It was the villagers who pooled their money to help him with the funeral.
Later, unable to afford further education, he went to the city to find work to pay off his debts. Although he repaid the debts, he always remembered the kindness of the people. Whenever villagers faced difficulties, they would come to him to borrow money or grain, or ask him for favors, and he would always agree. This time, it was his son's idea to seize the villagers' land.
"Doesn't he care?"
“He can’t manage it. He’s bedridden and won’t live for more than a few days. His son makes all the decisions, big and small, at home.”
What illness does he have? Is it curable?
"It's incurable. It's a lung abscess, and it's already incurable. He doesn't have many days left to live."
Lung abscess?
Similar to modern pneumonia, lung infections, and other illnesses.
Her space contains penicillin, which can cure it.
If Li Guangyuan is a good person, she could make a trip to save him and have him restrain his son, thus indirectly helping the people save their land.
"Go and investigate further whether Li Guangyuan knew about his son Li Rui's actions. Also, find out who Li Rui has been in contact with recently."
"yes!"
As evening approached, when they were almost having their dinner, Xiao Xuance returned, carrying a bow and arrows on his back, a gun in his hand, and several gifts in his other hand, including pheasants, rabbits, and muntjacs.
Xiao Mingshu hadn't eaten wild game in a long time, and she could only swallow hard. "So many prey! Third Brother, did you catch all of these?"
"Um."
Zhu Feng found a letter on the body of the murdered Da Jing spy. After reading it, he was so angry that he wanted to kill him, but those people were already dead, and the person he wanted to kill was far away in the north. With nowhere to vent his anger, he went to the back mountain to practice shooting. He split the wooden dummy in half, but he still couldn't vent his anger, so he went to hunt in the forest.
Mrs. Yang called to her son, "Go wash your hands and come eat, or it will get cold."
Seeing that he was covered in sweat, I went to get him a towel to wipe his sweat. It's the middle of winter, and he's sweating so much that he's easily catching a cold.
He hurriedly ordered someone to brew ginger tea and boil water so that he could take a hot bath later.
She had long heard that Lingnan was plagued by miasma, and that excessive sweating could easily lead to catching a cold, which in severe cases could cause malaria and lung abscesses. These diseases were almost incurable, and even the most skilled doctors were helpless.
"Mother, don't worry, I'm healthy and will be fine."
Xiao Mingshu also said, "Third brother, what Mother said makes sense. When we went to the next village, we saw several old men with lung abscesses who were coughing badly. We heard they didn't have much time left."
"Yes, it's heartbreaking to hear them coughing outside. So we must take care of ourselves and avoid catching a cold, especially since we have children at home."
Yun Zhaoxue said, "Ginger tea and hot water won't make him feel better so quickly. Let him sit down and eat first, and drink some hot soup. If he eats and drinks enough, he will be strong and less likely to catch a cold."
Lung abscess was not difficult for her to treat.
With such a high mortality rate among the local people, it's no wonder that in ancient times, criminal officials were often exiled to Lingnan.
After the meal, under Yang's supervision, the whole family drank a bowl of ginger tea to ward off the cold and evil spirits. She also instructed Hongzao and Lvzhi to boil a pot of ginger soup every day, which the whole family drank to ward off the cold.
If the two little ones could drink, I probably would have fed them too.
The water was ready, and Xiao Xuance went to the kitchen to take a bath.
He was wearing dirty boots when he went up the mountain and couldn't go inside, so Yun Zhaoxue brought him some clothes.
"What happened? You ran out without a word and came back looking sullen. Tell me what's wrong?"
"I want to kill someone."
Yun Zhaoxue, "..."
"Murder? Who did you kill? Wanyan Zonglie?"
She said helplessly, "Alright, don't be angry. I'm a mother of two. With his status, what woman can't he have? I have no connection with him. He's just deliberately humiliating you. If you get angry, you'll fall for it. If you meet him on the battlefield, you can settle this score with him. Go take a shower, or your mother will come to urge you later."
She stuffed the clothes into his arms and pushed him out.
After Xiao Xuance finished washing up, he came out and looked at the child.
Yun Zhaoxue went to take a bath, and the tub was filled with hot water, which felt as comfortable as soaking in a hot spring.
Halfway through washing the baby, I heard my second child's loud cries, "Waaah waaah..."
She quickly got dressed and came out.
The baby cried loudly in his father's arms, pushing him with his hands, kicking his legs, and arching his upper body, resisting his embrace with all his might.
"What's wrong with Erbao? I was just gone for a moment, what did you do to him?"
Xiao Xuance looked at her with a mixture of frustration and innocence. "I only said a few words to him before he started crying."
Yun Zhaoxue picked up the child and gently patted his back. "Erbao, don't cry. I'll beat up your dad later to vent your anger, okay?"
After she finished speaking, Erbao's crying gradually subsided. His little body twitched, his nose was blocked with snot, and he exhaled a snot bubble.
He took the warm cloth offered by Hongzao and gently wiped his face.
What did you say to him?
They can understand what adults say, and they may even have memories from their past lives. She guessed which sentence had touched a nerve with Erbao.
