Rebirth of the little landlady

Chapter 85 Liu Guirong's Life-Saving Money
After Liu Guirong's condition stabilized, the Su family sent away the village doctor and midwife first, and then the aunt who helped.

In order to get the money conveniently, Yuan Bao simply took out all the small bamboo tubes that were buried. I have to say, the money was used up too quickly. Yuan Bao was sorting out the money boxes in the house when he heard Su Qiusheng in the yard Shouting, "Brother, brother, what's wrong with you?"

Yuan Bao staggered, and ran out of the house staggeringly. He saw Su Chunsheng, who had just returned from seeing off his guests, leaning against the courtyard door with a pale face and precariously. Su Qiusheng was running to help him. When Yuan Bao walked over, he found that Su Chunsheng His whole body was burning hot, he was shivering constantly, and his teeth were clenching.

Su Chunsheng's whole body was limp and weak, Su Qiusheng and Yuan Bao couldn't help him at all, but Yougen Niang who heard the voice came over and brought Su Chunsheng back to the East Wing.

When Yuan Bao and Su Qiusheng helped Su Chunsheng take off his clothes, they realized that Su Chunsheng had many bruises on his body, the most severe one was on his neck, with a large ring of swollen marks, and some places were even torn. , it can be seen that Su Chunsheng's trip to the county seat was not as calm and breezy as he said.

With these injuries, Su Chunsheng stayed awake for three days and two nights, and buried Su Youwang in the pouring rain.

"This child is truly tolerable..." You Genniang burst into tears.

Su Qiusheng cried bitterly, "What should I do, Yuan Bao, what should I do?" Su Chunsheng's fall brought him to the brink of collapse.

Yuan Bao's heart was full of self-blame. She thought that she should take care of Su Chunsheng more carefully. If nothing else, she shouldn't have asked Su Chunsheng to go to Liu's house to ask for a bill, and she should have used Liu Guirong's excuse of giving birth to leave him behind. Get Su Chunsheng down and don't let him go to the funeral for Su Youwang.

At the very least, after the two brothers came back from the funeral, Yuan Bao should have urged them to change out of their soaked clothes, instead of drying them up with body heat, even if they had been given a bowl of brown sugar and ginger water to get rid of the cold!
However, at this time, no one in the Su family can fall down, especially Su Qiusheng. Yuan Bao wiped away his tears, "It's okay Qiusheng, my husband is just too tired. The doctor is in the main room. Just come down and take a look. Everything will be fine, isn't there still me?"

Su Qiusheng nodded and wiped away his tears.

Father Yougen found an ox cart to take Wen Po and the doctor back to the town. According to Yuan Bao's request, the doctor took the pulse of all four children of the Su family. Among them, Su Qiaoqiao was in the best condition and there was no problem at all. Both Su Qiusheng and Yuan Bao were not well, suffering from cold and overwork to varying degrees. In comparison, Su Qiusheng was more serious, showing signs of fever.

The doctor prescribed a bunch of medicines, some were for the Su brothers and Yuan Bao, and most of them were for Liu Guirong to nourish his body. Mrs. Wen rubbed Liu Guirong's acupuncture points, but Liu Guirong still hasn't given milk so far.

Some medicines were brought by the doctor, and some had to be picked up in the town. Originally, Father Yougen told him to go, but Su Qiusheng said, "It's okay, I'm fine!" nothing.

Yuan Bao also felt that it was too much trouble for the Su family this time. Yougen's parents didn't sleep all night last night, and today it seems that Yougen's father hasn't eaten yet, so he let Su Qiusheng go. .

Yuan Bao first settled the money with the doctor and Mrs. Wen, and then dressed Su Qiusheng thickly. He also reminded Su Qiusheng that he must hire a carriage from the town to come back. Su Qiusheng pulled Yuan Bao and asked quietly before getting into the carriage. , "Do you still have silver?"

Yuan Bao nodded heavily, "Yes, there are many more, not only enough for this time, but also enough for raising a family in the future!"

Only then did Su Qiusheng get into the car and leave with a confident face.

Yuan Bao first had a sore nose, and then smiled. She did it——when danger and disaster came, she used her strength to protect her family and what she cherished.

Mrs. Yougen made dinner, and Yuan Bao insisted on letting Yougen's family eat together at Su's house. The members of Yougen's family didn't budge. At that time, it all depended on Yougen to take care of Su Qiaoqiao. This incident of the Su family not only made the Su family's children more mature, but also made Yougen calm down a lot.

Su Chunsheng was burnt to the point of confusion, and Yougen Niang helped Yuan Bao to feed him porridge and medicine. Fortunately, he ate all of it.

What's even more dumbfounding is that Liu Guirong's appetite is very good.

"I don't worry about that," Yuan Bao said to Yougenniang with a complicated expression, "I'm not afraid of anything else, I'm just afraid that my younger brothers and sisters will have no milk to eat. No matter what is missing in the family's food, if I can't take care of it, auntie just go Everyone should take good care of them, I treat my aunt as my own family, so please don’t be polite to me, uncle’s meals are also used in our house these days, so let’s stop talking about those vain etiquettes at this time.”

Root girl nodded heavily.

Before the kitchen was cleaned up, Su Qiusheng came back. He was in a very bad condition, but after eating a warm meal and scalding his feet with hot water, he was obviously much better. Yuan Bao was still worried. Waiting for Su Qiusheng After Qiusheng drank the medicine, he let him sleep in his room.

That night, the Su family went to bed very early, but Yuan Bao did not sleep soundly. Su Chunsheng had a high fever all night long, talking nonsense, yelling twice from time to time, sometimes crying, sometimes Laughing again, but there was always only one name that came out of his mouth, not "Daddy" or "Mother" but "Yuanbao"!
Yuan Bao only felt that she had become more and more dependent on Su Chunsheng, but he didn't know that in Su Chunsheng's heart, Yuan Bao had also changed from the initial protection, protection, and guilt to the present trust and dependence. They supported each other along the way. Walking step by step, unknowingly, you can't do without each other.

Yuan Bao lit the lamp all night, for a while he wiped Su Chunsheng with cold water to cool him down, and for a while he held Su Chunsheng's head in his arms to comfort him, "Master, I'm here. Dad is gone, and he won't come back again. Mother and brother My sister is also fine, our family's good days are coming, don't worry anymore..."

Yuan Bao knew that Su Chunsheng's various behaviors in the drowsiness reflected his inner emotions. It was a miracle that Su Chunsheng was not crushed under so many years of pressure.

Su Qiusheng beside him was not sleeping well, he was also having a fever, but luckily the fever was not high, he just murmured a few times and thumped occasionally, all he needed to do was cover him with the quilt, otherwise, Yuan Bao really couldn't take care of him Come.

Yuan Bao was so tired that she couldn't feel the passage of time at all. It wasn't until You Genniang woke her up that she realized that she had fallen asleep and the sun had risen.

Su Qiusheng's fever subsided, and he was half-reclining on the kang to drink porridge. Su Chunsheng still had some fever, but the fever was no longer so scary.

After feeding Su Chunsheng with food and medicine, Yuan Bao also ate breakfast and drank a bowl of medicine. Knowing that everything was fine with Liu Guirong, he lay down and fell asleep again.

After two days of complete relaxation and rest, both Yuan Bao and Su Qiusheng recovered, and Su Qiusheng moved back to the north room in the west wing with a heated kang.

The busy autumn harvest has come to an end, so Yuan Bao begged Father Yougen to set up a stove in the south room of the current East Wing, so that Su Qiusheng would not have to move around anymore, and Mother Yougen lived here for a month. It's not likely to catch cold at night, and Yougen saw that his mother had her own house in Su's house, and she refused to go back at night.

Yougen's parents knew that Yougen was in love with Yuanbao, and that Yougen had indeed done a lot of work for the Su family, so they let Yougen go.

Two days later, under the careful care of Yuan Bao and You Genniang, Su Chunsheng finally woke up, but his body was still very weak, and the medicine prescribed by the doctor in the town was almost finished, so Yuan Bao invited a doctor from the village to come .

The doctor took the pulse and said that Su Chunsheng was seriously ill this time. If the doctor in the town had not used a lot of good medicine, I am afraid that Su Chunsheng would turn into a lung disease this time. It is suggested that Yuanbao should follow the prescription prescribed by the doctor in the town. Prescriptions to grab the medicine, because there are some medicinal materials that he doesn't have here.

After Yuan Bao heard about it, he simply asked Su Qiusheng to go to the town and invited the town doctor for a follow-up visit. Naturally, the medicine was also taken from this doctor.

In any case, Su Chunsheng's condition was improving, and Yuan Bao also walked out of the house for the first time after Su Youwang's funeral.

In fact, since Su Qiusheng recovered, the work of the Su family has become easier. Su Qiusheng can help Yougenniang with laundry, cooking, boiling medicine, shopping, and even rushes to do it. Gen eats and lives at Su's house every day. Seeing that Yuan Bao is busy, he takes Su Qiaoqiao to play, so Su Qiaoqiao is also very happy. You know, Su Qiaoqiao not only seldom leaves the yard when she grows up, but also almost No playmates.

However, when Yuan Bao asked how Yougenniang was doing these days, Yougenniang still sighed and told the truth under Yuanbao's questioning.

Liu Guirong gave birth to milk on the second day after giving birth. The two little babies have something to eat. Naturally, everything is good. Liu Guirong not only eats and drinks well, but also has someone who takes care of the confinement. It can be said that this is not only In the village, even when she gave birth to her first three children in the capital, she never received such generous treatment.

"But it's the same, she's full of food and sleep, she's just crying, crying endlessly," Yougen Niang was so aggrieved, "I asked her if there was something wrong with me, and she said , No. Ask her what she wants to eat, she can’t tell, I’ve run out of good words these days, but I can’t persuade her no matter what, I still cry and cry!”

Yougen Niang pulled Yuanbao over, "Yuanbao, we all live in neighbors, how can we not know what's going on in each family? Your father got himself into a lot of trouble and took his life. Who is to blame? Just beat them as husband and wife. Your mother is sad. This person has to look forward to life, doesn't he? For nothing else, just for you children. She, as a mother, should also Take good care of it, and make plans for the future..." After speaking, You Genniang couldn't hold back her anger.

On the contrary, Yuan Bao let out a "puchi" laugh, "Auntie, as long as my mother is a sensible person who has us in her heart, it wouldn't be so difficult for us back then!"

You Genniang was stunned, "This is really a matter of not knowing the whole family." She didn't know some things about the Su family clearly, "To be honest, Auntie, I haven't seen you at this age. For such a sensible child, you and Chunsheng will not talk about it. We have watched the things we did in the past one by one. I didn't expect this Qiusheng to be so capable. Don't make any trouble, just be honest, don't worry, I really don't know what your mother thinks?!"

Yougen Niang came to Su's house to help this time, and she really touched her deeply.

Yuan Bao accepted Niang Yougen's compliment with a smile, and said, "I'll go persuade my mother!"

In fact, Yuan Bao already knew the reason why Liu Guirong was crying all the time from Su Qiusheng. It turns out that once Liu Guirong arrived in Xiejiao Village, she handed over the 50 taels of private house silver she had saved to Father Liu and Aunt Liu for safekeeping, as her last "" Life-saving money.” This is the secret of the Liu family being able to buy three acres of high-quality farmland at that time. Liu Guirong was forced to go to the Liu family twice in a row to “borrow” money, in fact, to ask for it.

Liu Guirong not only kept this matter from Su Youwang, but even the Su brothers. Whether the purpose was selfishness or distrust of his sons, I'm afraid only Liu Guirong knew.

But this "life-saving money" is easy to send out and difficult to get back.

Liu Guirong was worried about whether or not the money would come back from the Liu family. She was even more afraid that the Su brothers would blame her, so she dared not talk about the cause and effect.

Later, when the Su brothers found out the reason by accident, Liu Guirong became even more frightened. She even hoped that when Su Youwang recovered, she could get the money back from the Liu family, regardless of who got the money. , in short, she was able to shirk responsibility.

But things backfired, Su Youwang died, and the Su family's economy was almost exhausted under a series of blows, and the responsibility for the mistakes she made back then was even heavier.

Liu Guirong always thought that Su Qiaoqiao and Yuanbao had been sold, and the house deed was gone. Otherwise, where did the Su family get such money to pay for her funeral and support her?

When Yuan Bao entered the main landlord's house, the two babies were lying side by side in the swaddling clothes on the kang, sleeping soundly. Liu Guirong half leaned aside to wipe away tears. Clean, even in the delivery room, there is not even a little smell.

Yuan Bao still glanced at the two children hastily on the day they were born, and seeing them now, he couldn't help but have a gentle smile on his face.

"Yuan Bao," Liu Guirong couldn't help shouting when he saw Yuan Bao came in and only greeted her, but stopped talking to her.

Yuan Bao didn't look up, "Mother, tell me, I'm listening!"

"When will you and Qiaoqiao go to work?" Liu Guirong's first question made Yuan Bao feel relieved. Anyway, Liu Guirong still missed his own children, even if it was only Su Qiaoqiao.

Yuan Bao thought for a while and said, "Msanggong is reluctant to sell Qiaoqiao, so he agreed to pay back the fifth young master's money, and then only sell me one."

"What?" Liu Guirong was so anxious that he almost jumped off the kang, "So much money, how can we pay it back?!"

Yuan Bao's face turned cold. It turned out that Liu Guirong only had so much love for her children. When the financial pressure came, her love was not enough, so she asked sarcastically, "Isn't it enough to get back the money owed by the Liu family?" ?"

"Then...then, let's talk about it when I can come back. Even if I can come back, I have to redeem the house first, and I will live in the future..." Liu Guirong stopped crying, and settled the account with Yuan Bao anxiously.

Yuan Bao sneered, "Mother is thinking about the future now? When she was planning to go to the county to ask for a doctor for Dad, why didn't Mother think about the future, and why didn't she think about our house?"

Liu Guirong's eyes flickered, "How can I say that is their own father, otherwise..." She searched her brains to find a reason, maybe felt that what she could find was not enough, and then said directly, "Forget it, you all grew up Now, everyone has their own ideas, anyway, Chunsheng is the head of the family now, if you want to blame, you can't blame me." She pushed all the responsibilities out of the way.

Yuan Bao didn't want to say anything to Liu Guirong anymore, "Since mother is thinking about it, let's take good care of her body and take care of her younger brothers and sisters." She didn't want to stay with Liu Guirong any longer.

"Wait, Yuan Bao, Chunsheng didn't say how he's going to punish me? Why haven't their brothers come to see me these days?" Seeing that Yuan Bao was about to leave, Liu Guirong asked anxiously.

"Punishment?" Yuan Bao turned around, "Mother hasn't said what she did wrong? Why do you think that Xianggong and Qiusheng are punishing mother?"

"That...isn't it about me giving money to my mother's family," Liu Guirong began to explain, "I only thought of them as brothers and sisters, and I didn't expect my parents to be like this..."

Yuan Bao interrupted Liu Guirong, "Don't talk too much, mother. Anyway, mother doesn't plan to take care of these things. Even if the husband punishes mother, how can he punish her? It's nothing more than waiting for mother to give birth and make some female celebrities to make up for it." Just for home use."

"Hey..." Liu Guirong heaved a sigh of relief, quickly agreed, and asked, "If that's the case, why don't Chunsheng and the others come to my house once?"

Yuan Bao was furious, "Mother wouldn't you ask Mother Yougen?"

Liu Guirong lowered his head, "Aren't I afraid that they will say bad things to outsiders? Besides, there are so many things at home, if they want to ask me, I won't be able to speak..."

Liu Guirong also knows how many difficulties the Su family has experienced through this catastrophe and needs to be resolved, but she would rather stay in the delivery room and get by than go out to shelter her children. Even though she refused to give any comfort, she didn't ask, so she might not have saved the little calculation of the two brothers that it was best not to come.

"Both Xianggong and Qiusheng are sick. Xianggong still can't get up on the kang. Qiusheng is just right, but younger brothers and sisters are too young. I'm afraid that after entering mother's house, they will pass the illness." Yuan Bao remembered that the cold was on the verge of recovery. Time is the most contagious, so the idea of ​​not letting Su Qiusheng come to see Liu Guirong was actually Yuan Bao's idea.

Yuan Bao continued to say angrily, "Besides, how many things are there to be busy at home? Who has such a blessing as a mother, who stays in the house all day long and feeds with food and drink."

Liu Guirong lowered his head and stopped talking. He didn't ask about the condition of the Su brothers until Yuan Bao went out.
