When He Xiner and her cousin got home, they took Dabai back to the West Cross Courtyard to play. Wang went to the backyard and smelled a strong smell of Chinese medicine before she even entered the kitchen.
At this time, Xiao Xuyang went to town and hasn't come back yet, so he shouldn't be making medicine at this time.
"Sister-in-law Cao, who is this medicine for?"
Mrs. Wang has always been kind-hearted. Even if she is a servant hired by her second wife for her money, she never puts on airs and is very easy-going.
Mrs. Cao also liked this good-tempered second lady.
"The old man's medicine."
"Dad is sick?"
Mrs. Wang was shocked. She was fine yesterday and went to have a wedding banquet in high spirits.
Although Ms. Cao didn't know what happened yesterday, she guessed that the second girl had an accident. Early in the morning, she saw the old man leading his children to the vegetable field to talk, which made her even more sure.
I feel a little sorry for that beautiful little girl, and I am also vaguely worried that Mrs. Wang will not be able to withstand the blow.
Now seeing that there is nothing unusual about Mr. Wang, I feel a little confused, but I am very alert in my heart, fearing that I may say the wrong thing and arouse Mr. Wang's suspicion.
"That, that, well, it seems..."
She originally wanted to say that the old man was fine. When she went to the room to deliver hot water just now, she saw that the old man was in good spirits.
However, it seems not very good to say so. Who likes to take medicine?
"I gonna go see."
Mrs. Wang smiled at her understandingly and went to the upper room.
Then she found that her mother-in-law, who had always been tough and tough, was beaten by Shuang, and was listless. Mrs. Wang was very puzzled, and it was inconvenient to ask.
"What's wrong with Dad?"
Old Ye was leaning on the bed, his face looked good and he was in good spirits. His eyes, which were usually sparkling, were now dark.
Looking at Mr. Wang with a complicated look, Old Yetou said in a kind voice, "It's okay, I just don't have any appetite."
Wang automatically understood that she drank too much yesterday and hurt her intestines and stomach, so she nodded to express her understanding.
"Dad, what do you want to eat?"
"Just make some millet porridge."
"Hey, I got it."
It is inevitable for people who have been drunk to have gastrointestinal discomfort. Millet porridge is the most suitable for nourishing the stomach.
Wang was about to turn around, but felt it was inappropriate, "Does Mom want to eat?"
Lao Qian, who had been dazed for a long time, came to his senses instantly, "I want to eat fried dough sticks!"
Mrs. Wang was startled for a moment, "I didn't make the dough in advance, so I won't have time to make it now."
"Then let's have fried dough sticks for lunch."
Old Qian, who had been frightened early in the morning, was still a little flustered. She didn't know whether it was because she was frightened or because she was hungry. She was a little impatient and wanted to eat to fill her empty heart.
"Hurry up and set the food."
"四."
When Mrs. Wang left the upper room, Lao Ye snorted coldly with a dark face, ignored Lao Qian, and continued to think about things alone.
At first, I thought that the third child was also a member of the Wu family, so even if he had offended the Wu family, it would not lead to a falling out. What kind of county magistrate would really want to take revenge on his old Ye family?
But now that he knows how vicious Wu is, he is really afraid!
Although the eldest grandson is powerful and Dabai is also capable, he is still weak alone. What can the Ye family do against the official?
Could it be that the good old days of the old Ye family have come to an end?
The old man's head is full of sorrow and worry.
When Mrs. Cao brought the Chinese medicine, he drank it all in one breath.
The strong herbal taste was bitter from the mouth to the stomach, so I frowned even more~
——
At the breakfast table, He Xiner clearly felt that something was wrong with the family.
Her sister-in-law and Ye Feifeng had pale faces and twinkling eyes;
Her grandma's face was pale and listless;
Her father had a sad face and dim eyes,
Her mother...well, normal;
He Xiner closed her eyes and looked around quietly.
The calm-looking cousin is normal;
The little cousin who purrs and drinks porridge is normal.
After a moment's thought, it suddenly became clear.
