When the people sent by Jiang Wenyue arrived, the servants in Cui's mother's yard who had only been thinking about escaping had recovered from their panic and ran back to save their master. They were busy picking up the collapsed things, thinking Dig Mother Cui out of the ruins.
Two groups of people dug for half a quarter of an hour before finally rescuing Cui's mother. However, she was so frightened that she was confused, her eyes almost blurred, and she looked like she was about to die soon. She was so frightened that all the servants hurriedly shouted. She wanted to call her soul back, for fear that they would be buried with her if she really died.
If Cui Ying hadn't come back in time with the doctor, Cui's mother might not have survived, but maybe she shouldn't have died. After Cui Ying came back, she found that his wife and children were fine, and the injured servants had been properly arranged. , other things were in order, so he thought of his grandmother and stepmother, so he brought the doctor over to take a look.
As soon as she came to Cui's mother's yard, she found that she was in critical condition. The doctor came just in time. Cui Ying was anxious and asked the doctor to rescue Cui's mother with great difficulty. Seeing that Cui's mother's yard was almost in ruins and could no longer be inhabited, she decided to save her first. Grandma took it back to her yard to take care of.
Seeing that Cui Ying and Cui's mother were about to leave, the servants sent by Jiang Wenyue hurriedly called to him: "Master Ying! Our wife and several young masters are also injured. Can the doctor go and see them first?" look?"
Cui Ying asked the doctor and found out that Cui's mother's life was not in danger for the time being, so she agreed to let the doctor treat Jiang Wenyue and her son.
This is not that Cui Ying has any objections to her stepmother. It’s just that comparing her grandmother with her stepmother, the grandmother who has been in a relationship for twenty years is naturally much more important than the stepmother who is almost a stranger. If Cui Ying’s mother is not out of danger, Cui Ying It was absolutely impossible for the doctor to save Jiang Wenyue and the others.
After Cui Ying brought Cui's mother back to his wife to take care of him, he was anxious to return to the Yamen. After all, after this natural disaster, officials of all sizes must be very busy, and he was no exception. He could spare some time to go home. Looking at the situation, it was already the result of his long-term request to his superiors, so he didn't have time to go to his stepmother's place.
He thought that his stepmother was already in her late 40s and had been married once before, so she should have experience and be able to handle matters in her own yard by herself, so he didn't pay much attention to her.
How did he know that some women, no matter how old they are, are just dodder flowers clinging to a big tree? It's useless, without the support of the big tree, it is useless and useless. If it encounters a little wind and rain, the dodder flower without its attachment will be beaten to the point where its branches and leaves wither and it will turn dizzy.
Cui Ying thought that all women were like his mother, strong and flexible, as if they could hold themselves up even if the sky fell. Wasn't that the case this time? He had heard what his wife said. Before the earthquake stopped, his mother came to see his wife and children in person. She did not leave until she confirmed that they were okay and taught his wife how to deal with the aftermath.
Cui Ying was very grateful to Liu Shichu for this, and his respect and love for her deepened. In his opinion, to marry a wife, you must marry a woman like your mother. Even if something big happens, even if the husband is not around, He can also support a home with one hand and protect his children.
So he couldn't understand why his father could abandon his strong and independent mother for the weak and pitiful Jiang Wenyue.
But it doesn't matter to him, after all, his mother doesn't care, and his wife has matured under his mother's guidance, so that he doesn't need to be distracted by family affairs and can devote all his energy to his official career.
Look, during this natural disaster reconstruction, wouldn't he be able to devote all his energy to building a successful career and not have to worry about family matters?
But Cui Ying was not in a good mood, because when he finally came back from the Yamen after dark, Jiang Wenyue sent a servant to find him, saying that the matters in her yard had not been settled yet and asked him to handle it.
Cui Ying's head suddenly hurt. He frowned and asked the servant: "Is there anything else that has not been taken care of and I have to come over? Didn't the doctor give it to her? Isn't there an uninjured servant in her yard? Is there something wrong? I just give orders to my servants, what’s the use of me going there?”
He had been busy in the yamen all day and was exhausted. He just wanted to take a bath, eat, and sleep. How could he be in the mood to care about his stepmother? What's more, he has no relationship with this stepmother. He gave the doctor to her as a kindness on his part.
"Yes, it's the three young masters. Madam said that they were frightened today and had a fever. Two of them were injured and were making a fuss. Moreover, some houses collapsed and no one could live in them. Uninjured servants can be found at will. There is no place to stay up all night, but the injured must have a quilt to cover them..." As the servant was talking, he was frightened when he saw the gloomy look on Cui Ying's face.
Wen Rumin on the side said with a mocking look on her face: "After you returned to the Yamen in the afternoon, I also checked on her condition. She could only cry while holding her child and could not do anything.
Asked her if all the people trapped under the rubble were rescued? She said she didn't know, and then asked if there were still rice, grains and vegetables, and whether they would be enough for tonight and tomorrow. She also said she didn't know. If I continued to ask, she would cry and say how helpless and pitiful she was, with no one to rely on.
I was so angry that I wanted to leave her alone, but I felt sorry for the three children, so I endured my anger and helped her. "
"Thank you for your hard work today." Cui Ying patted his wife on the shoulder and said softly. He knew that his wife had been busy all day today and she had to handle everything. She must be as tired as him, but Jiang Wenyue, an elder, not only helped It's very annoying to have others help her instead of helping her, not to mention that everyone has no feelings.
Cui Ying really wanted to ignore Jiang Wenyue's affairs and let this servant go, but he was the legitimate son of the Cui family, and his father was not at home now, and he had three blood-related younger siblings. It was impossible for him to ignore it. , so even if he was extremely exhausted, he still had to brace himself to deal with Jiang Wenyue's matter.
Wen Rumin felt very sorry for her husband, but there was nothing she could do about it because it was his responsibility. Wen Rumin could only grit her teeth and resent Jiang Wenyue. Who made her so useless!
Liu Shichu had no idea about the hardships of her son and daughter-in-law. Her tavern could not be opened and could not be rebuilt for the time being, so she asked the guys to work on her farm on the outskirts of Beijing.
Her village was built for her to live in. The general construction of the house has been completed. Only the more delicate things such as doors, windows and pavilions have not been completed. Of course, flowers and plants have not been planted.
Liu Shichu asked the guys to plant flowers and plants for her. After all, the doors, windows and pavilions also needed professional craftsmen, and they didn't have the ability.
Qi Zhixi looked at this exquisite and luxurious manor with only the main building built, and said with emotion: "My boss, your manor is really unique. I don't think any other manors of high officials and nobles are as beautiful as yours."
Liu Shichu couldn't help but laugh and said: "You are so sure, have you ever seen the manors of high officials and nobles?"
After hearing her words, Qi Zhixi felt guilty in his eyes and quickly changed the topic.
