Chapter 309 Green Bean Fever
Seeing that the two men had a good attitude, Doctor Yuan didn't say anything else. He just asked Xiao Shitou to go with him to get the medicine.
Ye Yun'an came out of the house and said he wanted to follow. Doctor Yuan didn't care and just waved his hand for him to follow.
Uncle Yan was worried, so he went along too.
Ye Mingzhu entered the room and looked at Ludou, whose face turned pale and she kept muttering, "Sister, sister."
Ye Mingzhu sat next to him and carefully held his hand: "Sister is here, here."
Green Bean acted as if he couldn't hear her and kept calling out, "Sister, sister."
Ye Mingzhu changed the scarf on his forehead and agreed a few more times.
Fortunately, Uncle Yan and Ye Yun'an came back soon and took over the responsibility of taking care of Lu Dou.
Ye Yun'an took the medicine to the kitchen to boil it, but there was only one medicine pot in the house, and he also had to boil the medicine for Dazhuang.
The old woman came out of the house and directly called Xiaohua to go next door to help borrow the medicine jar.
Xiaohua ran away with a thump and a bang, and Ye Mingzhu thanked the old woman.
The old woman looked at them, said nothing, and went back into the house to take care of her son.
During lunch, the old woman asked Xiaohua to ask them if they wanted her to cook for them. Without waiting for Ye Mingzhu and Uncle Yan to speak, Ye Yun'an shook his head.
Xiaohua glared at Ye Yun'an and ran away.
"Grandma, they said it's not necessary." Xiaohua's voice came from outside.
Ye Mingzhu tapped Ye Yun'an's forehead helplessly: "You, you're too direct."
"Sister, you don't know what they eat. When I went with Xiao Shitou to get the medicine, Doctor Yuan told Xiao Shitou that he should feed his father something good so that he would recover faster. Xiao Shitou said that their family has only been eating wild vegetables and wheat bran during this period."
Ye Yun'an chattered away, telling everything he knew.
Uncle Yan added, "I heard that Dazhuang was injured by a wild boar while going up the mountain some time ago. Although he successfully caught the wild boar, he became a fool. His family has been left with this yard to pay for Dazhuang's medical treatment."
"Da Zhuang's wife is pregnant, and their two children are still young. If it weren't for Da Zhuang's mother, their family would have had trouble making ends meet."
Ye Mingzhu didn't expect that the greedy woman she saw last night had such an experience, and she didn't expect that the family that looked good on the outside actually lived such a miserable life.
Even families living in poverty would buy some broken rice and black flour to eat, along with wild vegetables and wheat bran. Even if adults could tolerate it, children couldn't, especially since there was a pregnant woman at home.
However, they were strangers to each other. Ye Mingzhu understood the old woman's greed and did not give her anything extra. She only asked Ye Yun'an to give her another hundred coins as the room fee for one more day's stay.
The old lady accepted it without saying anything.
After Lu Dou drank the medicine, her fever subsided not long after. She woke up drowsily and murmured, "Sister."
Ye Yun'an grumbled dissatisfiedly: "I just asked you to call me sister, but you're so excited."
Having said that, Ye Yun'an still pushed Ye Mingzhu forward: "Sister, please coax him."
Ye Mingzhu was a little amused and said deliberately: "Our Yun An is also a big boy now, he knows how to give way to his younger brother."
Ye Yun'an turned his head away without saying anything. Lu Dou was still calling her sister in a daze.
Ye Mingzhu agreed a few times in a soothing manner. Luodou opened his eyes and looked a few times, then finally fell asleep peacefully.
It was not until the evening that Green Bean finally woke up completely. He learned that they had to stay for another day because of him. He moved his lips but did not say anything.
"Ludou, my sister has lent you everything. You must get better soon." Ye Yun'an sat next to Ludou with a brotherly expression on his face.
"Sister?" Lu Dou looked at Ye Mingzhu.
"Since I've said you can call me sister from now on, you won't regret it," Ya Mingzhu smiled and touched Lu Dou's head. "Take another dose of medicine tonight, and you'll be fine tomorrow."
"Sister, I will definitely be better tomorrow and won't delay you from going home." Green Bean answered obediently.
The sick Green Bean seemed like a different person. He was very obedient when taking medicine and eating. He was also very clingy to Ye Mingzhu, which made Ye Yun'an a little jealous.
Ye Mingzhu found it a little funny, but seeing that he looked pale and weak, she met his request, fed him, and took medicine with him.
The old woman came after noon, thanked a few people, and returned the more than 200 coins she had collected in the past two days.
Ye Mingzhu was a little confused, and Uncle Yan pushed the copper coins back: "Take this money back and buy some good food for Brother Dazhuang, so he can get better faster."
The old woman's lips trembled, tears welled up in her eyes. She lowered her head and wiped them with her sleeve before saying, "Da Zhuang has woken up. Our family will have a better life from now on."
Uncle Yan took out another ounce of silver and handed it to the old woman: "This silver is for Brother Dazhuang's medicine."
"You've already paid for Dazhuang's medicine. We can't ask for more money." The old woman waved her hand. "Doctor Yuan has already told me that you should give him all the money for the subsequent medicine. We can't take advantage of you anymore."
The old woman's voice was a little intermittent when she spoke the last part.
Dazhuang is a hunter in the village. His family has two acres of land and lives a much more affluent life than the villagers, so they can build this brick house which is obviously better than the houses in the village.
Success is due to the hunter, and failure is also due to the hunter.
After Dazhuang was injured, his family almost spent all their savings on his medical treatment, but they only managed to save his life.
The old woman just thought that she could hold on for a few years until her grandson grew up, but she didn't expect that just by lending the house to a few strangers, Da Zhuang would regain his consciousness by accident. Although she was sad about his broken ribs, it was much better than being stupid all the time.
She was grateful to Ye Mingzhu and the others, so she wanted to return the money to them. Unexpectedly, not only did they not want it, they also gave her an extra ounce of money for medicine.
The money paid in advance from Doctor Yuan is enough for the medicine. This one or two taels of silver can be used to buy some good things for Dazhuang to nourish him. When he gets better, their family's life will be able to get back to normal.
Since Dazhuang was injured, although the villagers did not take advantage of his misfortune, not many people came to help him. Uncle Yan's behavior touched the old woman deeply.
She expressed many words of gratitude to Uncle Yan.
Uncle Yan accepted his thanks and told him that they would leave early the next morning.
The old woman hesitated for a moment and said that she would kill the chickens at home tonight so that everyone could have some nourishment.
Uncle Yan quickly waved his hand and said no.
They have been here for two days, but I have never seen them eat eggs. Xiao Shitou said that the eggs at home are kept to exchange for money, so the laying hens are even more precious.
But what they didn't expect was that the old woman was so resourceful. Not long after she left their room, she killed the chickens in the house.
Uncle Yan discussed with Ye Mingzhu that when they left, they would leave some silver money as the cost of buying the chicken.
Ye Mingzhu nodded. Dazhuang's wife came and knocked on the door, saying in a stammering voice that Dazhuang wanted them to come over.
