Chapter 297: 297 Ye Changsheng recovers Chapter 297: 297 Ye Changsheng recovers Ye Changsheng didn’t think twice before taking the porcelain bottle, “I’m going to trouble Little Aunt to go to the kitchen to fetch the knife for me.”
He thought about going himself, but his body was exceptionally weak, and he felt powerless, hardly able to get out of bed.
Leaving the room, Ye Jiu went to Ye Changsheng’s kitchen and then brought back a kitchen knife.
Ye Changsheng didn’t even consider if it would hurt, he slashed with the knife, and a large cut opened on his finger, and he immediately started to bleed into the porcelain bottle.
“This will take some time, once the medicine is ready, I will bring it to you,” Ye Jiu took the porcelain bottle, sealed it with the lid, and then concealed it into her space using her sleeve as cover.
There were books at Ye Changsheng’s place, and Ye Jiu, without being polite, picked two books and also left him a bottle of wound medicine for the cuts on his hand before leaving.
Back home, Mrs. He was cooking, and Ye Jiu went to her room, lay on the kang, but actually, her Divine Sense entered the space.
She sent Ye Changsheng’s blood to La Sike and explained the situation before exiting.
At night, Ye Zhong and his wife came over for dinner, where the old man Ye and Ye Zhong drank a lot, and the two old men started recalling past times while drunk. They lamented how their insignificant quarrels over the years had stopped them from keeping in touch, both regretting it with tears flowing.
The land at home was quickly tidied up by helpers, and after tidying up and sowing seeds, it all took just six or seven days.
Seeing how efficiently they worked, the members of the big house and the second house were also thinking about hiring helpers.
La Sike quickly prepared the medicine that could treat Ye Changsheng’s condition, and after Ye Jiu delivered it, Ye Changsheng took one dose. It was very evident that it worked fast and was highly effective.
In just a few hours, he went from panting after walking a few steps to being able to get off the bed and walk freely. As long as he continued taking the medicine on time, his body would fully recover after a while.
Ye Changsheng was thrilled and immediately knelt before Ye Jiu, “Changsheng deeply thanks Little Aunt for saving my life; I shall strive with all my effort to repay Little Aunt in the future.”
He had agreed to Ye Jiu’s terms, holding onto a shred of hope despite foreseeing his own demise, yet he had not expected that his illness would actually be curable.
Ye Changsheng bowed, and Ye Jiu did not dodge. Even setting aside the fact that she had saved his life, according to seniority, she was entitled to accept this bow. “No need for repayment, I already said, I’ll save you, but you must work for me.”
“Whatever Little Aunt commands, I am at your service,” Ye Changsheng replied respectfully.
Ye Jiu laughed awkwardly, “Actually, there is something now; for the time being, you could teach me how to read.”
“Yes, I will do my best,” Ye Changsheng bowed again.
Ye Jiu spoke up, “We’re all family here; there’s no need for so much formality, just treat it as usual from now on.”
Sure enough for a scholar, so overly courteous; however, portraying it that way makes it look rather strange to others.
Ye Changsheng nodded, then asked Ye Jiu, “I wonder when Little Aunt wishes to start learning to read, should I come here or should I go to you?”
“Come to our place. Wenqing and the others are there too; if they’re interested, you can start teaching them together,” Ye Jiu decided.
Mother was right; I shouldn’t meddle too much in my brothers’ affairs, as it’s too easy to strain without gratitude.
Education is important. The money from the soap business was divided a long time ago, but neither my older brother nor my second brother thought about sending the children in the family to school.
Ye Jiu felt helpless, having Ye Changsheng come over and teach her might get the children interested in learning, but whether they could eventually attend school would depend on their own parents.
Being a little aunt, I’ve done what I could to help them; what paths they take in the future will be up to themselves!
