Chapter 14
"Xuan Niang, thank you for your kindness. But..." Chen Jinniang wiped her tears, shook her head and said, "Tao Ya'er... my Tao Ya'er may not be able to come."
From the previous words of Chen Jinniang and Qian, Du Xuan could tell that the child seemed to be sick.
"I just heard Mrs. Qian mention that Sister Tao is... sick?" Du Xuan asked.
"I originally thought I had a few coughs due to catching a cold, so I went to see the barefoot doctor in the village and took several medicines but it didn't cure it. Instead, it got worse and I kept coughing."
Speaking of her daughter's illness, Chen Jinniang burst into tears, "My mother-in-law didn't want to see her in the first place. She despised Tao Ya'er as a girl. She wished she would die early so that she could save a living. She was also afraid of spending money on medical treatment. She said it was...
Tuberculosis cannot be cured. If I hadn’t been able to earn a little money by myself, my Tao Yaer would probably have died long ago..."
Du Xuan frowned, listening to the symptoms Chen Jinniang said, and after thinking about it, she said, "You'd better bring Sister Tao to my house to play."
Chen Jinniang looked at Du Xuan with some confusion.
Du Xuan smiled and said, "When I went to the county, I went to the medical hall and pharmacy, and happened to hear about a disease similar to Sister Tao's. When the doctor at the county medical hall diagnosed and prescribed medicine, I heard
One ear..."
After hearing what she said, Chen Jinniang's eyes suddenly lit up, "Okay... okay! I will tomorrow... no! Today! I will take Tao Ya'er to your house to play today!"
Du Xuan nodded and said with a smile, "Okay, then I'll make the soup and wait for you to come."
Du Xuan came out from Sun's house and went home carrying the fish.
When I arrived at the gate of the yard, I saw that the usually elusive fool Orion didn't go out to hunt. Instead, he was weaving a rope net in the yard.
Du Xuan didn't want to talk to him. This man was not emotionally stable. God knows what words would offend him again...
So Du Xuan walked into the yard with her head lowered and walked straight towards the kitchen.
But before she reached the door of the kitchen, a strong arm stretched across her body.
This arm is so horizontal that it can be said that it is quite unruly!
When Du Xuan stopped suddenly, her chest was only an inch away from his arm!
Du Xuan opened her eyes wide, looked at the distance between her chest and his arm in disbelief, and then looked at him.
But this man was probably not very smart. After being looked at by her eyes for a moment, he realized the inappropriate distance. However, when he put down his hand, it was a bit deliberate, and it was inappropriate not to let go, so his expression became even stiffer and looked awkward.
Zhang Jun's face was extremely solemn.
Du Xuan's face turned red with anger, and her voice was hard, "What's the matter with you?"
Qi stretched out his finger and pointed to the side. Du Xuan turned her head stiffly and looked along what he pointed at. She saw a few baskets hanging on the shelf over there. They looked like... they were... newly made?
Du Xuan thought about how he was weaving a rope net in the yard just now, "Did you make this...?"
Qi Yan still spoke coldly and hard to her. Hearing this, he said coldly, "It's convenient for you. Just pack your things and go see the man off."
Du Xuan: "..." Damn you idiot, how can you still be sarcastic? This is unscientific!
But this was the fault of the original owner. Du Xuan could only hold her nose and carry the pot, curled her lips and walked into the kitchen. As soon as she stewed the fish, a thin body touched the wall and murmured.
I walked in, cautiously, for fear of falling.
Then he hugged Du Xuan's legs. He was obviously afraid of the original owner a few days ago, but now he is very dependent on Du Xuan, "Mom... where have you been?"
"I'm going to find a friend for you." After Du Xuan said this, she felt that Xiaobao's body suddenly stiffened, as if he couldn't believe it, and his unfocused eyes widened a bit.
His voice also weakened, sounding weak and inferior, "I can't see, no one will play with me. They will only bully me..."
Just when Du Xuan wanted to deny his statement, she searched the memory of the original owner. Before they were kicked out of the house by their uncle, Xiaobao was indeed bullied by his uncle's grandchildren.
But at that time, the original owner was also disgusted with the little blind man. Of course, he could not help him or take him seriously.
Now……
Du Xuan sighed softly, stretched out her hands and rubbed the top of his head, "Then I have found it. If they come later, will you ignore them?"
When Xiaobao heard this, his expression was faintly excited, but also a little timid.
Seeing that he was still a little unconfident and timid, Du Xuan could only add more firewood and said, "Don't worry, I'll make delicious fish soup for you to drink. For the sake of the fish soup, people won't bully you."
"
Qi Yan was outside the kitchen, listening to the conversation between his mother-in-law and his wife. He lowered his eyes and continued to weave the rope net. His eyes were very peaceful and calm, but the movements of his hands were very nimble.
Du Xuan simmered the fish soup, and then hugged Xiaobao with one hand. With a soft smile on her face, she walked out of the kitchen and said, "I have to find a strong stick for you to make one."
The stick will save you from touching it all day long and your little hands will be dirty. You won’t have to wait until your face turns into a little cat."
Du Xuan thought about how when she first met Xiaobao, she felt that the child was a bit awkward, and that was probably how he got there.
Xiaobao liked being held by her with one hand like this and giggled.
As soon as Du Xuan walked out of the kitchen with her child in her arms, she saw the man still weaving a rope net in the yard, and the soft smile on his face suddenly stopped.
Qi Yan didn't think she was angry at first, because although she left angrily in the morning, she did what she was supposed to do and went home as if nothing happened in the morning, so Qi Yan didn't think she was angry at first.
But at this moment, he could clearly see the change in the expression on her face, and the man's unclear mind slowly began to react to her emotions.
Chen Jinniang probably couldn't sit still, so it didn't take long before she came with Sun Taotao. If she hadn't been too hasty and rude, maybe Du Xuan would have come back, and Chen Jinniang would have followed with her daughter.
At the entrance of the yard, I saw a tall, handsome man weaving a rope net in the yard.
Chen Jinniang had never seen such a good-looking man before and couldn't help but look at him twice.
Not to mention Zhao'an Village, she was married from the town next door. Even in the town next door, she had never seen such a good-looking man.
Farm women are not that reserved, at least they don't dare to look at her twice.
But soon, the man's dark eyes glanced over, his eyes cold. Chen Jinniang immediately lowered her gaze and did not dare to look any further. She stuttered and said, "I, I'm here to see Xuan Niang."
Qi Yan didn't speak, lowered his eyes and continued his work, as if he didn't hear her words.
Chen Jinniang thought about the people in the village saying that the Du family sold their niece to a fool as their wife. It seemed that this man was good-looking, but his brain was indeed not very bright.
Seeing that he didn't respond, Chen Jinniang could only call out louder, "Xuan Niang, are you there? I'm coming."
