Chapter 272 Already Married
The antipyretic medicine didn't work that quickly, so Ye Mingzhu reminded Jian Pingping to wipe Jian Anan's exposed skin with warm water.
Jian Pingping was already panicking, and immediately did as she was told. Ye Mingzhu didn't want to leave right away, so she stood by and helped Jian Pingping pass him a towel or something.
Uncle Yan didn't want to stand there for long. After looking around and not noticing any danger, he stood outside the cabin.
About a quarter of an hour later, when Jian Pingping wiped Jian Anan's forehead again, she felt that it was not as hot as before. A look of surprise flashed across her face: "Anan's fever seems to have subsided?"
"Mingzhu, please feel it for me to see if the fever has gone down." Jian Pingping pulled Ye Mingzhu's hand and asked her to touch Jian Anan's forehead.
Ye Mingzhu didn't struggle. She touched Jian Anan's forehead and nodded: "The fever should have subsided. It doesn't feel so hot anymore."
Jian Pingping's eyes were filled with tears. She stood up and was about to kneel down to Ye Mingzhu, but Ye Mingzhu quickly stopped her.
"Mingzhu, thanks to you, if it weren't for you, I don't know what would have happened to An An this time. You are An An's savior, and you are also my savior."
Jian Pingping was stopped by Ye Mingzhu and could not kneel down, so she could only keep expressing her gratitude.
"An'an and Yun'an have similar names. We both have younger brothers. I know the difficulties involved, so it's only natural for us to help each other. Please don't kneel down again, or I won't dare to see you."
Ye Mingzhu held Jian Pingping's arm and asked her to sit down. She said with concern, "We should arrive at the dock in half a day. Then you can take An An off the boat and see a doctor. After all, he is young, so you still need to pay more attention to him."
Jian Pingping turned her head and wiped her eyes with a handkerchief, nodding continuously: "I will take An An to see it as soon as the ship docks. If anything happens to An An, I won't be able to survive. You saved us, my sister and I."
Ye Mingzhu didn't expect Jian Pingping to react so strongly. After she comforted her again and again, she felt better.
"Mingzhu, I won't hide it from you. This time, I took my brother to the capital city to seek refuge with my uncle. My parents are both dead, and I don't have many relatives at home."
Jian Pingping had a wry smile on his face: "Now my family only has me and my brother."
Ye Mingzhu didn't expect that her brother and sister had also lost their parents. She comforted them: "An An was able to escape danger this time, and the future will be better and better."
Jian Pingping's face was filled with worry. She glanced at Jian Anan lying on the bed, then turned around and asked, "Mingzhu, have you decided on your marriage?"
Although they had been together for a few days, they were not familiar with each other. Apart from chatting about the weather and customs, they did not ask about each other's situation.
Ye Mingzhu nodded: "I'm already married."
Jian Pingping looked surprised: "You don't look that old, how come you got married so early?"
Ye Mingzhu also glanced at Ye Yun'an and lowered her voice: "After my parents passed away, I got married."
Jian Pingping's eyes widened, and after a while she said, "You're already married, and you can still bring your brother to your uncle's house? Where's your husband?"
Without waiting for Ye Mingzhu to answer, she glanced outside the cabin door: "Is Uncle Yan your husband's uncle?"
Ye Mingzhu looked at her lively expression, and the corners of her lips curled up: "Uncle Yan is indeed my husband's uncle. My husband has something to do and can't go out, so let Uncle Yan accompany us to the capital city, which is safer."
Jian Pingping lowered her eyes, pursed her lips, and looked up after a while, her voice hoarse.
"Before my mother passed away, she arranged a marriage for me. It was with my uncle's cousin. If there are no problems, we can get married after I finish the mourning period."
"It's just that I'm very panicked."
Ye Mingzhu could see that Jian Pingping didn't need her advice, she just wanted to talk to someone, and she just had to listen quietly.
"When my mother was alive, she said that she and my uncle were born from the same mother, and that my uncle would definitely take care of us. But this time when we went to the capital, my uncle just sent us a letter and told us to go on our own."
Jian Pingping said, his voice choking: "Mingzhu, if it weren't for you, I don't know if An An could survive this time."
Ye Mingzhu has the original owner's memories and knows how difficult life was for the siblings after losing their parents.
Although she didn't know the situation of Jian Pingping's uncle's family, she knew that the two of them had no other relatives, but they still didn't come to pick them up, which showed her uncle's attitude.
I don’t know whether it will be a blessing or a curse to marry into a family like this.
"No matter what time, you can only live a good life if you stand on your own feet." Ye Mingzhu still reminded him.
"Your parents are gone, and your brother is still young. You have to help your brother stand up for himself."
There was some confusion in Jian Pingping's eyes. She was a woman, and no one had ever told her that she had to support a family.
When her parents were alive, she relied on them. After they passed away, she was asked to live with her uncle. Could she support a family?
Seeing her expression, Ye Mingzhu couldn't help but say a few more words: "Your brother is still young. If you don't support him, who will he rely on in the future?"
Jian Pingping said uncertainly: "Uncle, you should make the decision for me, right?"
Ye Mingzhu looked at her calmly. "But your uncle also has children. If one day your brother and your uncle's children have a dispute, who will your uncle side with?"
Jian Pingping's pale face became even paler, her lips trembled, and she didn't speak.
Ye Mingzhu sighed and stopped talking. She only said this to the other party because both of them had lost their parents. If the other party didn't appreciate it, then so be it, since they were just a chance acquaintance anyway.
For a moment, the whole room fell silent.
Ye Yun'an blinked his eyes, rubbed his stomach, and asked, "Sister, how long will it take for An'an to wake up?"
Ye Mingzhu noticed his movements and asked, "Are you hungry?"
Ye Yunan nodded embarrassedly, and Ye Mingzhu stood up: "Then we will go back first, and we will come to visit when An An is better."
Jian Pingping was still a little dazed. She stood up and bowed: "Thank you for thinking of An An. When she gets better, I will ask him to thank you in person."
Ye Mingzhu waved her hand and took Ye Yun'an back.
When the three of them returned to their cabin, Uncle Yan frowned and said, "Mingzhu, I heard everything you said to Miss Jian just now."
Seeing Uncle Yan's disapproving expression, Ye Mingzhu smiled bitterly, "Uncle Yan, I did say too much just now, but when I saw her expression, I thought about what happened after my parents passed away. If someone had told me this, Yun An might not have suffered so much."
Uncle Yan sighed, "I know you mean well, but I'm afraid some people won't appreciate it."
Ye Mingzhu was more open-minded: "Whether she appreciates it or not, I just do what I think is right."
Uncle Yan saw this and didn't know what to say.
Fortunately, Jian Pingping did not disappoint Ye Mingzhu.
