Her daughter-in-law said that her eldest son was fine, and his condition did not worsen at night, but Old Madam Han hadn’t seen him, so she was worried. She turned around and looked at Han Ze in the room. She saw that he was sleeping soundly, breathing slowly, and his weather-beaten face was relaxed, and finally smiled.
It’s good that he can sleep, which means that the eldest son’s illness has eased. What she was afraid of is that he wouldn’t be able to sleep. A few days ago, her eldest son’s wife said that her eldest son lay in bed all day and all night, and he couldn’t sleep for more than two hours at a time. He couldn’t sleep soundly, so how could he be healthy?
She turned around and glanced at her eldest son again, and her turbid eyes were filled with joy again. She turned around and walked out, and met Han Youtian. Han Youtian was always thinking about his eldest son. When he saw the old woman coming out of his eldest son’s room, he asked hurriedly, “Is the eldest son okay?”
The old woman said with a smile, “He slept soundly last night. He was able to eat and sleep well, and his face was ruddy. Do you think he is okay?”
Of course, he was okay.
Han Youtian’s heart, which had been worried for many days, was slightly relieved. He sighed and looked unhappy, “Could it be because he stopped taking medicine?”
The eldest son’s health has always been better during the day and worse at night. Last night, the eldest son slept soundly and his face was ruddy. So, it seems that the eldest son’s health has really improved.
They didn’t invite other doctors for the eldest son, nor did they give him other medicines. He just stopped taking medicine for one day, and his health improved. The eldest son’s health improved. If he said that it was not because of stopping taking medicine for one day, he himself would not believe it.
Speaking of this, the Old Madam Han lost her smile. Even though the Wang family had helped them a lot, she was no longer grateful to them at this moment. She believed from the bottom of her heart that her eldest son had been in poor health because he had taken the medicine prescribed by Old Man Wang. She hummed heavily with a fierce face.
“Eldest son is well now, let’s not talk about anything else.” Han Youtian sighed, “From now on, if anyone in the family has a headache or fever, let’s go to the doctor in town to see a doctor.”
At this time, Han Youtian also doubted the medical skills of his in-law. Family affection is important, but the health of family members should not be underestimated.
Old Madam Han said bitterly, “If Daya hadn’t married into the Wang family, I would have gone to Old Man Wang to settle the score.”
Now there was nothing she could do, or she would have to force Daya to divorce.
After Wang Caiwei finished breakfast and went to the room to see Han Ze, she found him leaning on the bed, with a look of joy on his thin face, “Husband, did you sit up by yourself?”
Han Ze hummed softly, his handsome face tinged with embarrassment, “I want to… go to the toilet.”
Wang Caiwei was stunned, and for some reason, her cheeks felt a little hot. They were husband and wife, and she had helped her husband go to the toilet a few days ago. Why did she feel different now? She asked softly, “Shall I get the bucket?”
Han Ze pursed his lips and said, “I want to get the toilet.” After a moment, he said, “I can get out of bed, but I need someone to help me. You are not strong enough, so let Erlang come to help me.”
Wang Caiwei blinked and continued, “My husband, I can do it.”
Han Ze could not tell her that he was not used to her personal service. His eyes swept over her thin body, and his tone insisted, “Let Erlang come to help me.”
Wang Caiwei looked at her slender arms and admitted that compared to Erlang, she might not have much strength. “I’ll go call Erlang.”
After breakfast, Han Ze took a pill, swallowed it, and fell asleep again.
…
Han Daya got up very early in the morning and prepared the meal early. After the family had dinner, she sat and waited for her family to come to ask her father-in-law to get medicine.
Before going to the field, Old Man Wang asked his daughter-in-law as usual, “Today, let’s get Han Ze’s medicine ready. Will you take it to him?”
Han Daya hesitantly said, “Han Ze is mentally ill and confused, and doesn’t want to take medicine. I worked so hard to make the medicine for him yesterday, but he didn’t drink a sip and poured it all out. I won’t bother you today, Dad, and you don’t bother him either.”
“Why doesn’t he want to take the medicine?”
Old Man Wang was shocked. He paused and said, “Han Ze is your brother from your mother’s side, how can you ignore him? He is sick and his condition is not getting better, so he must be very anxious. I’ll go check his pulse later. According to the medicine I prescribed for him, he should have gotten better long ago, so why isn’t it working?”
He was also anxious. He felt guilty that after treating Han Ze for such a long time, but there was no improvement.
Han Daya’s heart tightened, but she couldn’t let her father-in-law take Han Ze’s pulse, as this pulse diagnosis would definitely show that something was wrong, so she hurriedly said, “Dad, don’t worry about him for now. Give him two days. When he can’t take it anymore, let them come to you and beg you. There’s no need to rush to see him.”
Old Man Wang didn’t expect his daughter-in-law to say this, so he said, “This, this is not the time to be angry. Han Ze’s health is the most important.”
Han Daya’s face was full of anger, and she said, “Dad, you don’t know how much Han Ze has gone too far. Yesterday, in order to not take the medicine, he even threatened my mother. I was also mad at him, so I planned to leave him alone and let him know how powerful he is. What will he do next? He made a scene with my mother. A dose of medicine cost more than 200 copper coins. He said he didn’t want to drink it, so he didn’t drink it. What’s wrong with him? It’s because he didn’t earn those copper coins. I must cure his bad habit. “
Old Man Wang sighed. Han Ze was his daughter-in-law’s younger brother. She was not anxious. Why should he, an outsider, worry about it? He said, “You can do it yourself.” After thinking for a while, he reminded her, “Go and see Han Ze later to see how he is. If he is not well, I will come to see him.”
Han Daya responded, “Okay, Dad, you go and do your work.”
Han Daya sat at home and waited for a long time, but her family didn’t come. She was secretly anxious in her heart. Could it be that Han Ze’s medicine was stopped for a day, and his health really improved? Thinking of this possibility, her eyes suddenly widened, and then she thought it was impossible. With Han Ze’s current health, unless there were immortals in the world, even if the medicine was stopped, it would not be good, and she was relieved again.
Seeing her daughter playing in front, she raised her hand to call her over and asked gently, “Nannan, why didn’t you go to play with Brother Yan Hong?”
Wang Chunxue bit her tongue and said aggrievedly, “Brother Yan Hong doesn’t like to play with me.”
Han Daya frowned, looked at her daughter with a very stern look, and said, “Brother Yan Hong doesn’t dislike playing with you, he has to study, you can accompany him by the side, but you can’t disturb him, understand?”
Wang Chunxue was reluctant. Although Brother Yan Hong loved to laugh, she always felt that his laughter scared her, “Why do you want me to play with Brother Yan Hong?”
Han Daya glared at her angrily and shouted, “Just do whatever your mother tells you to do, why are there so many whys?”
Wang Chunxue pouted and said reluctantly, “I know.”
Han Daya knew she didn’t want to, but she was planning for her future. She slowed down her voice, “Nannan, you have to listen to your mother, your mother is doing this for your own good and won’t hurt you.”
Wang Chunxue saw her mother smile, and then hesitantly nodded.
Han Daya looked at her daughter’s well-behaved face and swore secretly that she would let her daughter snatch Han Jinxiu’s husband who was the champion in the imperial examination and never let her daughter be divorced and go home at such a young age. As for that rogue, Han Jinxiu, who lost her father who was a juren, was quite suitable for him.
…
Wang Caiwei packed a wooden basin of dirty clothes and went to the river to wash clothes. She met Han Daya who was washing clothes. Han Daya had waited at home for a long time but didn’t see her family. Unexpectedly, she met Wang Caiwei by the river. Thinking of what Han Ze and her mother did yesterday, her nose was not a nose and her eyes were not eyes. Then her eyes flashed and she said, “Wang Shi, did you borrow money from your mother’s house yesterday? If you did, give it to my family for medicine money.”
Wang Caiwei was embarrassed. Her elder sister had been helping their family, but they didn’t have money to pay her back. She was very ashamed.
She also thought about what her mother said when she went back to her parents’ house to borrow money yesterday: “Seeing that my son-in-law is not in good health, you have to make plans for yourself. What if something happens to my son-in-law and he leaves you and your mother behind, how will you live as a woman? The dowry is used on my son-in-law. If there is no way, I can’t spend the money on him anymore.”
“Mom is a second wife, your father is old, your elder brother and second brother are not my children, and they are the ones who run the shop at home. Your grandmother was a farmer. When she married your father, she didn’t have much dowry. Over the years, I have saved some private money. I gave you some when you got married, and the rest is for your brother. I can’t give it all to you. Don’t blame me. Your brother is my support, and I can’t help but think more about him. “
Han Daya looked at her sarcastically, and said knowingly: “Didn’t you borrow the money?”
Wang Caiwei pulled the corner of her mouth, and she whispered: “Sister, I will pay you back when there is money at home.”
Han Daya sneered: “When can you get money?”
Wang Caiwei smiled bitterly, “These days, I’ll embroider more handkerchiefs and sell them in town.”
“How much can it sell for?” Han Daya sneered, and then changed the subject: “As a sister, I am not forcing you to pay back the money, but what Han Ze did yesterday made me feel that my kindness was taken for granted, and I was very angry. “
After hearing what her daughter said about yesterday, Wang Caiwei apologized: “Sister, don’t blame my husband. He is also tortured by illness and has no way out. He has been taking medicine for so many days, but his health has not improved. Anyone would be irritable.”
Han Daya snorted, she looked at Wang Caiwei and advised: “Han Ze didn’t listen to me and my mother, and insisted on not taking the medicine. You are his wife, I think he should listen to you, you go back and persuade him to reconcile, and let him continue to take the medicine. The money can be returned to us at any time. My parents-in-law are generous, they won’t say anything. Nothing is more important than Han Ze’s health.”
Wang Caiwei was deeply moved. Yesterday, she asked her mother to borrow money for her husband’s medical treatment, but her mother didn’t lend it to her, and instead advised her to make other plans. She was filled with sadness. Just now, the elder sister-in-law urged her to pay back the money, she thought she was serious, but she didn’t expect that she was angry because her husband didn’t want to take the medicine.
Thinking of this, her face relaxed and she said with a smile: “Sister, you don’t have to worry about my husband’s health. He is getting better. He stopped taking medicine yesterday and was able to walk a few steps this morning.”
“What?” Han Daya was really shocked this time, “Are you serious?”
Wang Caiwei was so happy that she didn’t see her sister-in-law’s expression at all. She said to her: “Sister, my husband can not only walk around, but also sleep well. He ate more breakfast than yesterday. I think it won’t be long before my husband’s health will be much better. Maybe he can enter the examination room and take the college entrance examination next year.”
The more Han Daya listened, the heavier her heart became. How could Han Ze’s health be better? It can’t be.
She asked anxiously, “You didn’t hire another doctor for him, did you?”
Wang Caiwei smiled helplessly, “Where can I get the money to hire a doctor?”
“You didn’t give him any other medicine?”
Wang Caiwei shook her head, “There’s nothing for him to take at home.”
Han Daya’s face was not very good. Afraid that Wang Caiwei would notice something, she happily agreed, “It’s good that he’s better. He’s been taking medicine for so long, it’s good that it’s effective.”
Wang Caiwei looked at her in confusion. Han Daya explained, “Maybe Han Ze’s illness is strange. The medicine he took a few days ago is only effective now?”
Wang Caiwei frowned. Is that the case? Then she thought again, no matter what, it’s good that her husband is in good health.
