sister-in-law

Chapter 23 Suspicious illness
Gu Zhang had already helped Sister-in-law Osmanthus, the woman just lowered her head and cried, Luo Shi insulted her so much, she didn't say a word.

Another poor man.

Su Ruoli sighed, and asked her tentatively: "It's so late, is there something wrong with sister-in-law?"

As soon as the words fell, sister-in-law Osmanthus could no longer restrain herself, and began to cry.

Luo Shi had already rushed out of the house at this time, and waved his fist at Sister-in-law Osmanthus, "Get out of my place quickly, so as not to bring bad luck to my family. I also want to borrow money. Look at my family. Can I lend you money?"

It turned out to be borrowing money!
It's so late, if there is no urgent matter, why would sister-in-law Osmanthus come to his house?

Look at the child in her arms again. With such a big movement, the child lay motionless on her shoulder.

Could it be that the child is sick?
As a doctor, he is naturally sensitive to patients.

She couldn't help but opened her mouth and asked: "Sister-in-law, could it be that the child is sick?" Otherwise, why would Sister-in-law Osmanthus come here to seek scolding?
It's okay if you don't ask, but when you ask my sister-in-law Osmanthus, she can't stop crying. The tears are like broken beads, choked up several times, and then reluctantly said: "Maomao had a fever yesterday and didn't like to eat, and today she can't even see it." I don’t even want to open it. Woohoo, I don’t have any money at home, I want to borrow some money from my sister-in-law to invite a doctor to look at it..."

Before he finished speaking, Luo Shi hurriedly pushed her outside, "Hurry up, hurry up, the child comes to our house when he is sick, what should we do if we make my little five and six sick?"

Sister-in-law Osmanthus was exhausted physically and mentally, but when Luo Shi pushed her like this, she subconsciously took a step back, and she was about to lean back.

It was Gu Zhang who quickly supported her, turned his head and whispered to her mother: "Mother, what are you doing? Sister-in-law Osmanthus fragrans takes care of a pitiful child all by herself. It's fine if you don't help her. Why bother?"

Everyone in Gu's Village knew that the boy in Sister-in-law's arms was a posthumous child, and his father was shot by a wild boar and injured his leg when he went hunting in the mountains. Who would have thought that he would pass away within a month.

At that time, the two had just been newlyweds, and Sister-in-law Osmanthus was pregnant, and she was still immersed in the peaceful and happy days of the young couple. How could she think of unexpected disasters?

Later, her husband died and the child was born, but her in-laws didn't like her, saying she was a broom star, and even the child didn't like her.

Her natal family is even poorer, and there are two sister-in-laws who are like wolves and tigers, who will care about her?

She is alone, relying on sewing and mending for the big family in the town, and bringing her young children to live a miserable life. Just thinking about it makes her stomach full of bitterness.

When Luo Shi heard that Gu Zhang actually spoke to Sister-in-law Osmanthus, he immediately jumped up in anger: "Little bastard, what kind of benefits does this woman do you? You actually turned to her?"

Going to push Sister-in-law Osmanthus again, "Go back quickly, lest I lose my son's soul by fucking here."

God, why does this woman's mouth look like it has been filled with dung, she dares to say anything dirty and smelly.

Is this still a human thing to say?

Su Ruoli rolled her eyes, feeling unworthy for Gu Zhang to have such an unreasonable mother!
Gu Zhang was so angry that his complexion was ashen, he lowered his head and didn't want to talk to Luo Shi.

Sister-in-law Osmanthus knew that there was no hope, so she had to walk back with her head drooping and the child in her arms.

Su Ruoli hurried forward to pull her, "Sister-in-law, let me see the child."

Regardless of whether Luo Shi was scolding or not, and whether Sister-in-law Osmanthus was willing or not, she pulled the child's little wrist and began to examine it.

After a while, he touched the child's forehead and body again.

Her expression became more and more dignified, and Sister-in-law Osmanthus was even more frightened when she saw her like this, "Sister, you, what do you see?"

Su Ruoli lowered her eyes and thought to herself: If she guessed correctly, the child might be infected with encephalitis.

Now in midsummer, there are more mosquitoes, which is the season of Japanese encephalitis.

This disease is very contagious, and it is really not suitable for Sister-in-law Osmanthus to stay for a long time. The Gu family still has two young children.

She immediately said to Sister-in-law Osmanthus: "Sister-in-law, don't panic, go home first, and I'll pass by your house later and show the children."

Earlier, on the day of Gu Zhang's wedding ceremony, everyone in the village knew about Su Ruoli's rescue of her father-in-law. Although they didn't think she could be a doctor, for the women in these backward and closed mountain villages, the subconscious Still willing to trust Su Ruoli.

Maybe she really saw such a disease at her natal home.

So, sister-in-law Osmanthus nodded, with tears in her eyes, and went back silently holding the child.

Su Ruoli promised Sister-in-law Osmanthus to visit the child at her home without Luo's permission, how could Luo be willing?
Her face was elongated, and her pair of upturned peach blossom eyes were full of gloomy light.

Hmph, little hoof, let you go, I will give you endless work later, how do you go?
She entered the room without making a sound, and went to the kang yelling that her stomach ache was nothing to worry about.

Gu Meiniang just hid in her own room and the two young Gu Xuan and Gu Xueniang rushed forward as if they saw a savior when they saw their elder brother and sister-in-law coming back, "Brother, sister-in-law, I'm hungry!"

It's good to find a mother when you're hungry, but now it's a good thing, and you have found your elder brother and sister-in-law.

The corners of Su Ruoli's lips curled up into a sneer: No wonder I told my sister-in-law Osmanthus that I wanted to go to her house just now, but she didn't say a word, so there is someone behind me.

Sighing, she shortened her body to be on the same level as the two children, and said softly, "You are good, sister-in-law will give you steamed meat buns to eat!"

The two children suddenly cheered.

Gu Zhang smiled wryly, patted the heads of the two younger siblings, and left Guowu with Su Ruo in silence.

One of the two is kneading noodles, and the other is washing vegetables and cutting meat, and preparing to make buns for eating.

Gu Zhang has flour in both hands, and Su Ruoli has already chopped up the meat.

He tilted his head and glanced at her, only to see fine beads of sweat oozing from her forehead.Under the dim light, there is a kind of quiet beauty!
"You can take a few steamed buns to see Sister-in-law Osmanthus later." He was a little worried, how could he survive this big night with a mother and a sick child?

Su Ruoli kept busy with his hands, and he was also thinking about how to treat Japanese encephalitis. He was distracted and didn't hear Gu Zhang's words.

Gu Zhang reached out to wipe her sweat, and touched the white face of her forehead.Seeing her like this, he couldn't help laughing, "Hey, why are you so preoccupied? You touched that child just now, did you know it?"

Su Ruoli was a little dissatisfied that he wiped her sweat with the back of his hand, "Go and wash your hands, how can you eat this bun later?"

Gu Zhang washed his hands again with a smile, and then asked her: "I just asked you something, what kind of disease does that child have, and is it serious?"

Su Ruoli shook her head lightly, "I'm afraid the illness is scary and contagious, so take care of your siblings and don't let them go out these two days."

When Gu Zhang heard it, the blood on his face faded away, and he asked intently: "It's so powerful? Will it infect you?"

"It's a good thing that this disease is contagious among young children, so I'm fine." Su Ruoli looked back and smiled, his eyes were as bright as stars in the dim light.

"Be sure to get rid of the high fever on that child tonight, otherwise..." She pondered for a moment, then felt worried again after a long time, "It's just mother..."

Gu Zhang naturally understood what she meant, and immediately said: "You just go, I'm with my mother."

He looked at Su Ruoli suspiciously for a moment, as if he wanted to see something from her face.

Su Ruoli felt uncomfortable being watched by him, so she pouted and acted coquettishly, "What? Haven't you seen enough every day?"

Gu Zhang lowered his head immediately, with a suspicious blush on the tips of his ears.

Hehe, I want to ask how she knows medical skills?So thin-skinned, let's forget it.

Su Ruoli, who buried her head and tried hard to mince the meat, smiled like a little fox who got his way.
