sister-in-law

Chapter 24
It was night, and the family ate a meal of delicious and juicy meat buns, not to mention how happy they were.It's just that Luo Shi is always a little dissatisfied. It costs more than a dozen pennies to buy noodles, right?Then his son only sold three pennies for a load of firewood yesterday, is he lying?

Knowing that Luo Shi was worried, Gu Zhang didn't hide it, and simply told the truth, "The medicine Li'er picked up from the mountain sold for ten yuan."

When Gu Meiniang heard this, her eyes widened immediately, and she opened her mouth to shout, "Really? This medicine is so valuable? We'll go pick it up tomorrow, isn't it rich?"

Gu Zhang glanced at her coldly and poured cold water on her, "Do you know which one is a weed and which one is a medicinal herb?"

One sentence made Gu Meiniang dumb, she pouted and retorted indignantly, "Why can sister-in-law recognize it, but I can't?"

"Your sister-in-law is hardworking and able to endure hardships. You can climb the mountain all day long without feeling tired, can you?" Gu Zhang didn't have the nerve to say, "You hide in the house all day for fear of getting sunburned, so are you willing to go up the mountain?"

Gu Meiniang's plump and tender face immediately flushed with two red clouds, and she bit the tip of her chopsticks in anger.

On weekdays, Luo Shi pampered her so much, how could he be willing to let her do some work?She also grew a whole body of lazy fat, and she didn't want to move even in the hot weather.

Luo Shi also euphemistically said that this is called beauty. Isn't it because the imperial concubines in the palace are plump and tender that the emperor takes a fancy to them?From then on, people all over the world took pride in raising such a daughter.

When Luo Shi heard that Gu Zhang always rejected his younger sister, he was already full of anger.He wanted to show Su Ruoli some embarrassment, but when he heard that today's meal of meat buns had Su Ruoli's money for selling herbal medicine, he swallowed it forcefully.

After eating, Gu Zhang and Su Ruoli cleared the table, and they went to the next room.

It's getting late, so naturally it's time to rest.

The whole family, big and small, also washed up and went to bed without mentioning it.

The surrounding area was quiet and dark, but the door between the East and Second Rooms was quietly opened at this moment. Gu Zhang took Su Ruoli's hand, carrying a cloth bag in his hand, and went out quietly.

Next door, Osmanthus sister-in-law's house.

The fenced yard was dark, with no light at all.

The two dared not call out, for fear of alarming Luo Shi and others.With both hands, Gu Zhang pushed open the fence gate, which was in vain, and the two of them came to the eaves of the thatched house in the dark.

In the room, there was a faint, suppressed sob, like the voice of Osmanthus's sister-in-law.

Gu Zhang's heart trembled: Could it be that the child is dying?

He motioned for Su Ruoli to call the door.

He was a half-grown young man, and he was really embarrassed to call a woman's door in the middle of the night, so as not to frighten his sister-in-law Osmanthus fragrans.

"Sister-in-law, open the door, I'm Zhang's daughter-in-law next door." In order to dispel sister-in-law Osmanthus' worries, Su Ruoli expressed it as clearly as possible.

When Gu Zhang heard this, he covered his mouth with his fist and coughed softly. The words "Zhang's daughter-in-law" made him feel very ironic.

Inside the room, the weeping female voice stopped immediately, and after waiting for a while as if trying to judge something, she asked cautiously after a long time: "Yes, brother and sister of the Gu family?" Her voice was soft and hoarse, obviously she had cried before.

"It's me, sister-in-law, I came to see how the child is doing, and I brought you some meat buns." Su Ruoli said in a low and sincere way sticking to the door.

Not long after, there were rustling sounds in the house, and slowly, a dim orange light came on in the dark thatched house.

The door opened, and Sister Osmanthus came out fully dressed with her head bowed, and smiled apologetically to the two of them: "It's so late, it's really troublesome for you to think about it."

Su Ruoli didn't have time to be polite to her, so she walked in.

Gu Zhang stayed outside the door, Su Ruoli turned around and found that this guy hadn't come in, so he couldn't help but take his hand, "It's this time, why are you still so poor?"

Although he is a man and Mrs. Osmanthus is a prostitute, there will be a place for him later, not to mention she is here. What is he, a big man, doing coyly?
Gu Zhang blushed, so he had no choice but to follow in.But in my heart, I felt that this little girl was getting more and more aggressive, and even reprimanded him in front of others?
But he is still very happy. The more she treats him like this, the more it shows that she already has him in her heart and treats him as a family.

Sister-in-law Osmanthus was also a little stunned, how could a woman treat her husband like this?

But the child is sick, and she doesn't care about it.Seeing that everyone had entered the house, he closed the narrow old wooden door smoothly.

Inside the house, on a small kang by the window, lay the child.

Under the dim light, Su Ruoli could see that his cheeks were flushed, his breathing was heavy, his nose flapped wheezingly, and he convulsed from time to time.Stretching out a hand to cover his forehead, it was hot!
He opened his eyes again and looked, the eyelids were red and bloody, it was very scary!

"Hurry up and get rid of the fever!" Su Ruoli turned her head and told the sad and haggard sister-in-law of Osmanthus fragrans without any doubt.

This is a symptom of Japanese encephalitis, which most often occurs in children in summer. If it is not treated in time, the child will die soon. Even if it is cured well, some children are prone to sequelae.

At this time, Su Ruoli's benevolence as a doctor prevailed, making her careless of the consequences.In case, the child is cured and left with sequelae, how can I explain to my sister-in-law Osmanthus fragrans!
Sister-in-law Osmanthus fragrans panicked when she saw Ruoli's dignified look, she shook her hands with a pale face and didn't know what to do.

Seeing her like this, Su Ruoli knew that she had to find something to do, so she hurriedly said to her, "Sister-in-law, go and boil a pot of hot water." Sister-in-law Osmanthus left the room in a daze. Went to boil water under the stove.

Inside the house, Su Ruoli asked Gu Zhang: "The light in this room is too dark, I can't see clearly, you bring that night pearl you got today."

Gu Zhang hesitated for a moment, but took it out anyway, wondering if Sister-in-law Osmanthus would make a fuss when she saw her later.

Country people have never seen much of the world, so it would be bad if they yelled and let outsiders know.

As soon as the Ye Mingzhu was taken out, the small thatched hut was as bright as day.The soft light hit Su Ruoli's palm-sized face. Looking at it from the side, there was a kind of soft and quiet beauty!
This kind of beauty is not artificial and natural, it is the most necessary thing for a woman.

Although he has not seen many women, Gu Zhang also knows that only his little wife is the most beautiful woman in the world!

Su Ruoli lowered her head and took off the child's clothes and examined him carefully. Sure enough, there was a layer of red spots on his body, which looked a bit creepy.

The most urgent thing is to cool down quickly!
It's just that this is ancient times, and it's a poor mountain valley with no air conditioner or ice.

Su Ruoli could only use the most traditional method. First, he took off his clothes, waited for Sister-in-law Osmanthus to boil the water, put it in a wooden basin, grabbed a handful of salt, put it in, and took it out until it was warm. Picking up a clean white cloth and repeatedly scrubbing his body
While scrubbing, the child suddenly coughed violently, and immediately, a mouthful of white foam emerged from his mouth.
