"Yeah, I heard that whether you have a boy or a girl depends entirely on probability, and has nothing to do with the woman's womb. If this one isn't a son, we'll just have another one. We've already had four daughters, maybe the next one will be a son?"
"It seems so to me. The Ke family has more sons than daughters. It can't be that things change when it comes to the second son of the Ke family, can it?"
Grandma Ke trembled with anger, pointing at Ke's second son and cursing, "He really is an ungrateful wretch, forgetting his mother now that he has a wife."
Fearing that the old lady would be too angry, Ke Meiyu quickly stepped forward to help her calm down, and then said in a cold voice, "Ke Enshu, Second Uncle, I didn't know that the person who took other people's things was in the right."
"Yes, half a bowl of sugar water is a small amount, but the organization's laws and regulations clearly state that theft means taking another person's property without authorization. This property covers a wide range of things; even a single penny constitutes theft!"
“If we swallow our anger today, then tomorrow my second aunt will take the things I put on my table without asking. I want to ask, just how valuable do these things have to be for us to get justice?”
"And what, does that mean you're right just because your family can't produce a son? Aren't these four girls human beings? Except for when my mother had a longer postpartum period after giving birth to me, didn't my mother, the other older women, and the other mothers in the village all have the same half-month postpartum period as Second Aunt?"
"Besides, when my mother was resting, my uncle was afraid you would resent him, so he helped out with the work for half a month, doing much more than my mother. The food at home was also provided by my maternal grandmother's family. How can you blame all of this on Grandma and say she's biased? It's clearly because Second Aunt's family didn't contribute, so you can't blame anyone else!"
The neighbors... that's definitely the case...
"Second Brother Ke, you can't blame Third Aunt Ke for not being able to have a son. It's because you and your wife didn't work out properly, or maybe you're just not destined to have a son."
"Yes, look at your three brothers. Their firstborn is a son, and the fourth brother's family had five sons before finally getting a daughter. How come you only have blossoms but no fruit?"
"Your mother may have a sharp tongue, but as neighbors, we've never actually seen her mistreat your wife and daughter. She's only nice to Ke Qimei; how does she treat everyone else? You haven't seen what a heartless mother-in-law looks like!"
Ke Enshu clenched her fists. Neither she nor her father were good with words, so they were no match for the quick-witted grandfather and granddaughter.
Moreover, the concept of filial piety makes them bow their heads.
Aunt Ke Er leaned against the wall and walked out, not daring to go too far. She just peeked out in the yard and looked at Ke Meiyu with a hoarse voice and venomous eyes: "Seventh girl, did you put medicine in the bowl?"
Ke Meiyu raised an eyebrow and scoffed, "Are you suffering from paranoia? Why would I drug you?"
"Did I expect you to reach through my window and take the sugar water from the table?"
"Otherwise, you can go to the hospital for a test. I'm not afraid of being tested!"
This self-righteous attitude infuriated Aunt Ke, who scratched the wall in anger, and her stomach rumbled again.
She quickly covered her buttocks with one hand and sprinted towards the outhouse at top speed amidst everyone's laughter.
Ke Lao Er, always concerned with saving face, angrily yelled at the crowd, "What are you laughing at? Is it that funny?"
The neighbors' smiles faded, and they dispersed, pursing their lips. They'd had their fill of the spectacle; it would give them enough to talk about for days.
The old lady was quite angry at this moment, coughing several times in a row, as if she was about to pass out.
Ke Lao Er said coldly, "Mother, you don't need to pretend to be sick in front of me anymore. There are doctors in the village and hospitals in the town. Just give the word and I'll take you there right away."
"You, you're going to drive me crazy!" The old lady's face turned red, and her voice was hoarse.
"Grandma, don't be angry," Ke Meiyu said anxiously, patting her back to help her breathe. "We can't be angry. Second Uncle is already a grandfather. You raised him, and now it's his turn to take care of you."
"As long as you eat well, drink well, have fun, play with the kids, and brag a little at the village entrance, what else do you have to worry about?"
"I know you feel sorry for me, but think about who I am. Who can really bully me?"
The old lady nodded, and it took her a long time to suppress her cough.
Ke Meiyu frowned slightly, as she often heard the old lady coughing in the middle of the night.
The old lady often drinks a spoonful of honey in the morning to alleviate her symptoms.
There was a time when the old lady was seriously ill and was once bedridden. She went to the provincial hospital and was diagnosed with asthma. The medication could suppress it but not cure it. She could only take care of herself slowly and avoid getting angry or tired.
Perhaps in the original text, the old lady fell ill and was bedridden again because of this?
Ke Meiyu ignored the two people in the yard, helped the old lady into the house, poured her a cup of warm honey water, and then sat down next to her to carefully observe the old lady's expression. While she was affectionately holding the old lady's hand, she also felt the old lady's pulse.
She even pretended to be a doctor, half-jokingly, and asked the old lady to open her mouth, then leaned in to listen to the sound from the old lady's chest.
She compared all the symptoms she observed with the medical books in the space.
The space has had many different owners, but they all share the same hobby: filling it with various rare and unique books. Ke Meiyu has been reading medical books lately, and has even identified several comprehensive and practical ones, supposedly the culmination of a lifetime of research and writing by a medical genius or sage.
The conclusion reached was indeed asthma, and based on this, they went to find a medical remedy.
Asthma is considered one of the more complex symptoms of cough, characterized by recurrent episodes of difficulty breathing and wheezing. There was even a World Asthma Day dedicated to it.
Therefore, the medical talisman for asthma is also quite complex. If the medical talisman she had been practicing before was a basic unit, then the asthma medical talisman is composed of dozens of such medical talismans!
Anyway, this is not something that a novice like her, who hasn't even entered the field yet, can handle.
For the sake of the milk's health, she has to work hard.
“You’re quite the little girl,” the old lady said with a smile, patting her head. Then, as if thinking of something, she sighed and said, “If you hadn’t been born into our family, but into a wealthy family in the city, you might have become a doctor.”
Ke Meiyu blinked and whispered to the old lady, "Grandma, actually I got a medical book written by a miracle doctor. I'll study it and treat your illnesses."
The old lady looked at her in surprise, her feelings somewhat complicated. Originally, she had only talked about her granddaughter's good luck, but gradually the facts were proving that Yu Bao'er was indeed incredibly lucky.
“Okay, Grandma will wait to enjoy Bao’er’s blessings,” she nodded with a smile.
Once the old lady calmed down, Ke Meiyu returned to the house and summoned Xiao Wen: "Xiao Wen, how can I obtain a large amount of peace points?"
