After asking the noodle stall owner, the two quickly found Li Dayan's home.
Before entering the house, I heard someone cursing. The woman next door said that the person cursing was Li Dayan’s mother.
This spirit and energy doesn't sound like that of a person who is terminally ill!
After knocking on the door, the person inside paused for a moment and then cursed, "Mrs. Zhu, if you dare to steal from my house again, I will hang myself at your doorstep tonight. I hope you can live in peace for the rest of your life..."
Song Yuehua pushed the door open and saw an old woman with messy hair half lying on a plank bed, her lips dry and her face gray.
As soon as she entered the room, Song Yuehua asked, "Grandma, are you feeling better?"
Mother Mu was stunned for a moment, then asked sternly, "Who are you?"
"I'm a good friend of Li Dayan," Zhang Erniu said, "He went to Luozhou to help me run the goods, and asked me to come and look after you."
Mother Mu certainly didn't believe it and stared at the two of them.
"Brother Erniu, go get a doctor." Song Yuehua found a table and sat down and said.
After Zhang Erniu left, Granny Mu held the stiff quilt in her hands, her eyes becoming more alert, "What on earth do you want to do?"
"Come and see you."
Song Yuehua wanted to pour her some water, but found that there was no firewood in the house, and the stove looked like it had not been used for a long time.
How did they survive this?
"Tell me, has my son done something again?" Mrs. Mu asked coldly.
Song Yuehua spent a copper coin to buy a pot of hot water from next door, found a bowl to rinse it, poured a bowl of hot water and placed it next to the bed.
"It is true that your son has committed a crime," Song Yuehua was not in a hurry. After sitting down, she explained the general situation.
After hearing this, Mrs. Mu just snorted coldly, then lay down on the bed, staring blankly at the ceiling.
"Although this matter has little to do with me, don't worry. I will not let you die before Li Dayan comes out." After Song Yuehua said this, she went to the kitchen and took a look at the rice jar.
This house has nothing except a place to sleep, which makes Song Yuehua feel like she is back in the cowshed.
After Zhang Erniu invited the old doctor to meet Song Yuehua, the old doctor's eyes widened and his beard didn't even have time to curl up.
Song Yuehua quickly explained, "It's not me, it's not me, it's the one on the bed."
The old doctor remembered that Zhang Erniu had told him that it was Li Dayan's mother, and then he reacted.
After checking your pulse, the old doctor asked, "Have you run out of medicine again? If you keep going like this, even a god can't save you."
Mother Mu kept silent, looking hopeless.
Unable to continue, the old doctor could only say to Song Yuehua, "Her illness requires constant medication and nurturing. It will take a long time for her condition to stabilize. However, because the medicine contains several expensive herbs, the cost of the medicine is 1 tael of silver per month. The prescription is still the old one."
"Please rewrite the prescription." Song Yuehua said, took out one tael of silver and said, "Please prescribe a month's worth of medicine first."
The old doctor was a little curious, "What are you doing?"
"I won the competition, and Li Dayan bet money on me. When he lost the money, he couldn't figure out what was going on and wanted to beat me up. As a result, he was arrested. So, I have to keep an eye on his mother." Song Yuehua said helplessly.
The old doctor sighed heavily, handed the written prescription to Song Yuehua and said, "Go get the medicine yourself. I'll go to other people's homes to see the patients. I hope this Li Dayan can recognize the good heart. This matter should not be your responsibility, but you have done your best."
Song Yuehua gave the prescription to Zhang Erniu and asked him to get the medicine first. She then borrowed the old doctor's paper and pen to write a promissory note.
"Grandma, I'll lend you the money for the medicine. You can just put your fingerprint on it and return it to me when Li Dayan comes out."
Song Yuehua handed the IOU to the old doctor and asked him to read it to her.
"No need." Mrs. Mu's face looked dejected.
Song Yuehua asked again, "Grandma, are you hungry?"
Mrs. Mu didn't say anything. Song Yuehua ran outside and bought two bowls of noodles.
"Grandma, please eat some noodles." Song Yuehua handed the noodles to Grandma Mu.
Mother Mu then said, "This is none of your business, please go."
"We've already bought the noodles, so don't waste it." Song Yuehua advised.
"Buy it and eat it yourself!" said Mrs. Mu stubbornly.
Song Yuehua sighed and said, "I have already eaten 57 steamed breads, how can I eat more?"
Mother Mu closed her eyes, sighed softly, propped herself up and sat up straight, took the bowl of noodles and started eating.
"It's useless even if I put my fingerprints on the IOU. My son won't recognize it." Mother Mu stretched out her hand and said.
Song Yuehua handed over the IOU and said with a smile, "It's okay, I can always get it back."
After collecting the IOU, Zhang Erniu still hadn't returned.
Taking advantage of this time, Song Yuehua took a walk outside and found that there was only half a tank of water in the water tank.
There is a well in the distance where you can draw water. Dozens of households nearby use this well, so it is quite far away.
Song Yuehua just felt a little bloated, so she got a shoulder pole and a bucket from the kitchen and started fetching water into the water tank.
After seven or eight trips, the water tank was full, and Zhang Erniu also came back carrying a large bunch of medicine bags.
Before leaving, Song Yuehua helped to prepare the medicine.
Zhang Erniu said with emotion, "This Li Dayan is really lucky."
Regardless of whether he was lucky or not, Song Yuehua didn't want to have bad luck anyway.
Song Yuehua asked, "Uncle Erniu, when did you come to the county town? I didn't see you on Master Ma's ox cart this morning."
Zhang Erniu, "..." You only think of asking this now?
Zhang Erniu explained, "Something happened to the night watchman in the county, so I'm here to temporarily replace him for two months. I'm paying you 400 coins a month. Don't worry, Daya. I won't delay your work in the fields."
