Yunling sat up abruptly and curiously opened the window.
Meng Taohua entered, her face filled with panic.
What's wrong?
She put on her shoes and ran outside, only to hear Meng Taohua crying, "My Er Gou went up the mountain early this morning and hasn't come back yet. Could something have happened to him?!"
Last night, her son came home very late, excitedly saying that he had found traces of wild boars and then dug a trap. Afraid that someone else would take the bait, he went up the mountain early this morning. Not long after he left, it started to rain, and the rain got heavier and heavier. But her son still hadn't come back, so she couldn't sit still anymore.
She only has one son.
Qin Baoguo took a deep breath. Even rainy days are a hassle!
What can we do?
Just look for it!
The men of the Qin family all put on raincoats, banged gongs and drums, and gathered a large group of people before heading up the mountain in the cool autumn rain.
It was a rainy day, and the sky was overcast.
Yunling stood at the door, watching the group of people leave, and felt a strange sense of tragedy.
Wang Xiuxiu looked worried. She, who never cursed, lost her temper this time, "That damned Chen Ergou! What's with going up the mountain in the rain, really..."
She couldn't think of any more vicious words.
She said nervously, "Do you think there might be lightning strikes on the mountain with so many trees on it?"
"Stop saying those unlucky things, spit it out!" Qin Tiantian frowned.
Wang Xiuxiu spat heavily a few times and muttered under her breath, "May the Bodhisattva protect us, may the Jade Emperor protect us all and keep us safe and sound."
Qin Tiantian was about to remind them that these words should not be said, and that it was time to break with feudal superstitions.
But after looking around and seeing no one else, I said, "Okay, let's talk!"
If it makes me feel better.
Yunling watched for a while, and she also became a little worried. She sighed and suggested, "Let's go back and make some ginger soup so they can drink it as soon as they get back."
"Let's go!" Qin Tiantian nodded.
Her mother went to comfort Aunt Meng. Everyone is at a loss right now, so it's better to find something to do.
I had some ginger at home, so I washed it and poured half a pot of water into it. I'll make sure to give him two extra bowls later so he doesn't catch a cold.
Yunling went back to her room and poured out some of the brown sugar that had been sent from home.
When Qin Tiantian saw this, she quickly said, "Third Sister-in-law, no need. Save the brown sugar for you to drink during your postpartum period."
Yunling was taken aback, then laughed and cried at the same time, saying, "We don't know how long we'll have to wait, let's use it now! We can buy more later."
Looking at Yun Ling's wealthy and generous demeanor, Qin Tiantian felt a pang of envy.
While I may have been envious, I didn't intend to take advantage of the situation.
Having brown sugar would be excellent.
Wang Xiuxiu also gave Yunling a grateful look.
"I'd like to drink brown sugar water too," Qin Yan said softly.
Wang Xiuxiu scolded, "Go back to your room and stay there. Don't be so unreasonable and try to eat all the good things."
After being scolded, Qin Yan went back to her room with her head hanging low.
Wang Xiuxiu said embarrassedly, "I'm sorry you had to see this."
Qin Tiantian waved her hand: "We're all family, what's there to laugh about?"
She paused for a moment and said, "It's a good thing to love to eat, but there should be a limit."
Wang Xiuxiu was stunned for a moment, then understood her sister-in-law's unspoken meaning, but she wasn't angry, after all, it was for her own good.
She smiled faintly and said, "I understand, I will teach her well."
She hadn't taught her daughter before because she had suffered as a child, often going hungry under her stepmother's care, and she didn't want her daughter to suffer the same pain she had endured.
However, too much of a good thing can be bad; they need to be properly taught.
"Thank you, Sweetie."
Qin Tiantian chuckled and said, "No need, we're all family. As long as Xiaoyan is well, that's all that matters."
