Chapter 43 Lin Gensheng
Jiang Yan looked at Lin Gensheng. In her original memory, this man was still a muscular man. In the early years, she went to Jiangjiazhai to propose marriage, but she was too ambitious and never fell in love with him.
But now, the man's face is haggard, black-faced, skinny, his cheeks are sunken, and his whole body is rotten. His rickety body looks like a dying person. If Lin Xi hadn't said that the sick person was his wife,
, Jiang Yan thought it was Lin Gensheng himself who was sick.
Jiang Yan's pupils dilated and her heart was filled with shock. This was the first time she had come to this era to truly and intuitively feel what a person looks like after being overly hungry.
Just like a conscious mummy!
"Shitou's mother is in the house. Uncle Tiezhu in the village looked at her but she didn't feel better, so I sent her to the hospital in the town. All the family's money was spent, and she didn't feel well either..."
Lin Gensheng had to take a breath every time he spoke. His weak body made it difficult for him to even speak.
Jiang Yan said: "I was researching new food, and I didn't know how it tasted. I wanted to come and see you, so I brought some over. You can also keep this buckwheat noodles."
She asked Lin Xi to put everything in the kitchen. Lin Gensheng stood up suddenly, grabbed Lin Xi's hand, and exclaimed: "No... why did you take so much! This big bowl of meat... Jiang Yan, you... cough...
Ahem...take it back quickly, you can keep it at home to eat!"
"Everyone's family is in trouble these days, and I know your family's situation! Leave a few children to eat! I'm very grateful that you can come and see me!"
Lin Gensheng was so excited that he couldn't stand upright due to coughing. The children in the Lin family were all sensible. When several children came to see him, he thought it was normal. When Jiang Yan came in person, he always felt that it was unreal and that he always felt like he was seeing a ghost.
feeling!
But what was even more surprising was that Jiang Yan, who was always domineering and searching, actually brought food to his house!
"Uncle Gen... don't hold me back. Sit down quickly."
Lin Xi helped Lin Gensheng sit down, carried the things and found the kitchen with ease, then went to put the things away.
Jiang Yan said: "This is what we should do. I have to thank you for taking care of my sons all these years. It was my lard that deceived my heart. Fortunately, I can now clearly see the ugly faces of those people."
Lin Gensheng was a grown man and burst into tears again. When Jiang Yan saw this, she didn't know how to comfort her, so she had to go to the back room to see his wife Xie Chunhua.
Xie Chunhua was lying on the bed, skinny with only a handful of bones left. She closed her eyes and coughed uncontrollably, unable to breathe. Her face was pale, and she looked no better than Lin Gensheng outside.
When she entered, she happened to see that the exposed belly had an exaggerated groove, as if all the internal organs had disappeared, leaving only a skeleton wrapped in human skin.
"Ever since I got sick, I have been suffering from dry cough, nausea, vomiting, and sometimes fever and chills. It keeps coming back and forth, and I never get better."
Lin Gensheng, who was following behind, said sadly. He carefully took care of Xie Chunhua and pulled the thin quilt to cover her.
Jiang Yan immediately guessed the approximate cause of the disease. She had seen the exact same symptoms before. These were the basic symptoms of pneumonia. In this era, it was indeed a fatal disease. If you really got this disease, there was no other way but to wait for death.
But Jiang Yan has a shopping mall, and there are a lot of special medicines in the shopping mall, which are more advanced than she knew.
"I seemed to have had similar symptoms before, but they were not as severe as Chunhua's sister-in-law. I think she delayed it for a longer time."
"Brother Gensheng, if you believe me, I will give my sister-in-law some medicine, which I have taken before. I don't know if it will be of much use."
When Lin Gensheng heard this, he immediately looked at Jiang Yan excitedly and said, "As long as there is a little hope, I will not give up. Sister, just tell me what the medicine is and I will find a way to get it!"
Jiang Yan waved her hand: "I still have it at home, just ask Xiao Shitou to follow me back to get it."
Without saying a word, Lin Gensheng knelt down in front of Jiang Yan. Jiang Yan was so frightened that she ran away in a hurry and asked Lin Xi to pull her up quickly.
Until she got home, she still hadn't recovered. She hadn't given him the medicine yet, and she didn't know if it would be effective. Like a grown man, he would kneel down when told to do so.
As soon as Jiang Yan returned to the room, she pretended to rummage around and bought two packages of special medicine from the mall for one tael of silver. This medicine was not something she was familiar with, but according to the mall's explanation, it had an excellent therapeutic effect on pneumonia.
It was a bit expensive, but life was at stake, so Jiang Yan bought it directly. If the effect was quick, Xie Chunhua would be better tomorrow. With Lin Gensheng's character, Xiao Shitou might not be sold.
Few people would be willing to sell their children unless they were about to starve to death.
Setting up a stall selling rice rolls and cold bean curd probably cost more than 500 Wen. Two pots of cold tofu cost just over 100 Wen. The bulk of the rest was rice rolls, plus the money from my own mall and recent expenses.
, she now has a total of 39 taels and more than 700 Wen left.
After settling the account, Jiang Yan asked Wang Jinhua to cut a bowl of braised pork, counted out 50 copper coins, and went to the village chief's house.
Jiang Yan walked into the courtyard gate of the village chief's house. A thin woman was sitting in the courtyard cleaning wild vegetables.
The village chief's wife was sweeping the yard. When she saw Jiang Yan coming, she was a little surprised: "Why is Dong Ziniang here?"
Jiang Yan smiled and said, "I'm coming to the village chief to talk to the village chief. Is Uncle Lin at home?"
The village elder patted the broom on the wall: "It's inside. Your Uncle Lin has been unable to sleep all night long. He just couldn't stand it any longer today, so he went to sleep. He should wake up now."
Jiang Yan was heartbroken.
I couldn't sleep, probably because of the water shortage in the well in the village and the drought.
She has been busy running around outside in the past few days, and there is not a single cloud in the sky. Let alone these two days, judging from the situation, it may not rain this month.
Jiang Yan stepped over the threshold and entered. The village chief had woken up and was leaning on the bed, holding a book in his hand and reading intently.
There were two skinny children sitting next to him, and a tall, skinny young man was teaching them how to read, word by word, in a catchy way.
Jiang Yan couldn't help but take a second look. Except for the geography case book she bought, this was the first time she had seen a book in so long since she came to this era!
In addition to being excited, she was also a little surprised. It turned out that the village chief's family was all literate.
But before I was surprised for a few seconds, I saw Village Chief Lin frowning and muttering: "What horse... what wood, ugh! Why did you get a chicken, Fangzi! Come over and help me find out what the word is!"
"
Fang Zi was the tall, strong, pick-picking young man from before, the son of Village Chief Lin. He got up from his chair, bent down and looked at the word pointed by the village chief.
Shen Ling took a few seconds and said with great confidence and certainty: "This is the word "木"! Dad, you read it correctly!"
When the village chief heard this, he smiled with a smile on his face: "I just said that I have a good talent. I remember everything you taught me once!"
"Then this sentence is, Jingmu Mountain, or Muqian, if the water flow changes the force, there will be no water!"
