"But Third Aunt, the child has been noisy for several days and is losing weight day by day. Mother-in-law asked Yu Banxian to set up a bunch of earthworks, but nothing worked."
"I told my mother-in-law that if it didn't work, I would ask a doctor to take a look. She even scolded me and said that I was not sincere, so it didn't work..."
Hearing this, Mrs. Sun remembered what she heard from Mr. Liu and the others yesterday, and her kindness factor was suddenly awakened.
"Your third uncle went to the county government and never came back. I'll try to find a way to send a message to Dabai. You should go back first."
"Hey, thank you third aunt. I'm grateful to you on behalf of my child." Hongmei pretended to kneel down to Mrs. Sun.
Frightened, Mrs. Sun quickly threw the hoe aside and leaned over to support Hongmei, "It's such a small thing that you don't need to pay a big courtesy. Get up and go home quickly!"
Hongmei nodded meekly, and when she stood up, she begged Sun again, "I also beg my third aunt not to tell my mother-in-law about this matter, I'm afraid she will be too worried..."
Mrs. Sun was stunned for a moment, looking at the pleading in Hongmei's eyes, she suddenly remembered the injustice she had suffered when she gave birth to her child and was in confinement.
It was just two days after Da'an was born. The child suddenly stopped eating and drinking. At that time, Yang Huazhong was sent to do corvee work on behalf of the old Yang family and could only come back once every half month.
Da'an refused to eat or drink, which made Mr. Sun very anxious.
Mrs. Sun told Mrs. Tan that she wanted the doctor to come and take a look, but she was scolded by Mrs. Tan for making such a fuss.
She also said that a newborn would starve to death if she didn't eat for three to five days. She said that she was fooling around, thinking that giving birth to a boy would be a big deal, and that if it was a big deal, she would hire a doctor to come and waste all the family's money...
At that time, she was lying on the bed. She was exhausted after giving birth, her wounds were not healed, and it hurt even when she went to the ground.
I was really anxious holding the baby in my arms. I didn't sleep for two days and my tears were almost dry.
At that time, my sister-in-law's symptoms were more serious and she couldn't communicate at all.
The fifth younger brother and sister haven't come in yet.
The fourth brother and sister, pregnant with He'er who had not yet given birth, rushed into her room. Seeing her like this, the fourth brother and sister liked to inquire.
At that time, she told her fourth brother and sister that she wanted to give it a try, but she didn't expect her to be able to do anything. Unexpectedly, the fourth brother and sister went back and told the fourth brother. The couple didn't know how to bring happiness to their souls, and the fourth brother actually specialized in it. I went to the place where Yang Huazhong was doing corvee service in a neighboring town and called him back abruptly.
Fortunately, I called him back and sent him to the doctor. The child's nostril was angry and a small pimple appeared, and he refused to eat or drink.
The doctor pricked the little mole, and the child's nose was clear, and he ate and drank obediently.
More than 20 years have passed since the incident, and it is estimated that Liu and Yang Huaming themselves have forgotten it.
But Sun remembered.
Every time she recalled that incident, she felt grateful to the two of them. This was also the reason why no matter how Mrs. Liu came over to eat and drink in these years, Mrs. Sun was gentle and tolerant and received her patiently.
"Hongmei, don't worry. I won't tell your mother-in-law about this. When Dabai comes back later, he will just say that he is homesick and come back to visit." Mrs. Sun said.
Hongmei breathed a sigh of relief, expressed her gratitude again, and then left.
Looking at Hongmei's leaving figure, Mrs. Sun let out a long sigh.
She picked up the hoe and basket on the ground and put them back at the door of the hall. Then she came to the Luo family next door to discuss the matter with Yang Ruoqing.
"Qing'er, if that doesn't work, let's help her invite Wang Sheng to take a look at the child, what do you think?"
"Your father is not at home, and it would be quite troublesome to go to town to find Dabai. We might as well just hire a doctor for Hongmei's baby."
Yang Ruoqing listened to the whole process and rejected Sun's proposal without any hesitation.
"Mom, do you think it is a simple matter to ask a doctor to see a doctor for someone else?"
This matter is like helping an old lady cross the road. If you help her well, you should be praised.
If you don't provide enough support, medical expenses, lost work time, mental loss, youth loss, etc. will all be blamed on you.
You still have to face accountability from your family members and pressure from public opinion. It depends on whether you are afraid or not?
But Yang Ruoqing couldn't explain this matter to Sun's bun too thoroughly. Even if she did, it would be a waste of her own words, and the other party might not understand.
Even if you understand, you may not be able to hear everything.
So in the face of the confusion in Sun's eyes, Yang Ruoqing just said: "My aunt doesn't agree with calling a doctor right now, so if we rashly ask for a doctor, my aunt will think that we are ruining her business and affecting her belief in gods."
"Besides, Hongmei is just begging mother for your help in sending a message to Dabai so that he can come back and think of something."
"As for what method Dabai came up with after he came back, it has nothing to do with us."
"Mom, if you really want to help, then honestly send a message to Dabai asking him to come back. As for more things, I suggest you not to do it. If you do, you will end up with a thankless end."
It's not like Sun has never experienced a thankless ending.
When he heard Yang Ruoqing's analysis, Mr. Sun felt embarrassed.
"Okay, then I'll go find your uncle and ask him to help..."
"There's no need to look for uncle, I'll just send someone to deliver the message. There are so many pigs in uncle's house to take care of, how can I have time!"
"Okay, Qing'er, please make the arrangements."
Before Mrs. Sun went back, Yang Ruoqing walked her to the gate of the courtyard and told her again not to take it upon herself to ask the doctor for help.
Uncle Fu's and Wang Sheng's homes are in the village, and they are not separated by thousands of mountains and rivers. If my aunt is determined to take the road of asking a doctor, she can turn left after going out and reach Uncle Fu's house.
After getting Sun's repeated assurances, Yang Ruoqing felt relieved.
Ms. Sun was also helpless. Her daughter was treating her as a mother as a three-year-old child.
This identity seems to be reversed.
But after thinking about it carefully, Mrs. Sun felt relieved. She returned home, picked up the hoe and vegetable basket again and went to work in the vegetable garden.
As noon approached, most families in the village were cooking lunch, but the chimney of Lao Wang's new house didn't emit even a trace of smoke.
In the house, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were anxiously surrounding a crying child.
Mrs. Tan was also there, but she didn't hang around the child like they did. Mrs. Tan stood at the door of the house with a pair of scissors in her hand, swearing in the air and poking at the air with her fingers. The old lady cursed all over her face. It was so ferocious that at first glance it looked like they were fighting against one or a group of transparent people in the courtyard. Those who were timid were really frightened when they saw this scene outside the courtyard of the new house.
There are also those who are brave enough to stand on the wall and laugh and watch the fun.
There were many warriors like Liu in the crowd who were born for gossip. They had the courage to risk their lives to chat with Tan:
"Aunt Tan, what happened to your daughter's family?"
Tan ignored other people's inquiries and remained immersed in his own world, fighting alone against a hundred.
Onlookers whispered, "Looking at this posture, it's probably a ghost."
"Why are there ghosts in the clear sky? Or is the new house haunted?"
"It's possible that this little baby of Lao Wang's family has been crying for several days. She gets into trouble at night, and now she's also having trouble during the day. There must be something wrong."
