"Here, take this for now; if you don’t need it, we’ll talk later." Gu Yao stuffed the item into Yang Ruxin’s arms, "Big brother said not to worry about anything, we have your back."
Yang Ruxin felt moved but did not show it, only nodding slightly, "Tell your big brother for me, I, Yang Ruxin, won’t be easily knocked down..." He paused, "Right now, Uncle Xiaowu is here with me, you should go back first... My mother needs to be observed for a couple of days; I must stay here with her..."
"Alright then." Gu Yao nodded and then turned to leave.
Hechun Hall was probably the largest clinic in Lianhua Town, its backyard not only had five or six rooms that could serve as wards, but each room was also quite spacious, each containing two beds. Since this was still the busy farming season, even though crops had been planted, irrigation and tending the vegetable garden were necessary. Moreover, some people even sought other work to earn a little money. Unless it was a particularly serious illness, there was usually no one to stay at the clinic. Thus, their family was alone in the entire clinic’s backyard.
Gu Yao had bought ten steamed buns, which the two of them shared.
Yang Baixiang let Yang Ruxin sleep first while he kept watch.
"Uncle Xiaowu, you should go sleep. It wouldn’t be convenient for you with my mother if she needed anything," Yang Ruxin shook his head.
"No problem," Yang Baixiang chuckled, "If there’s anything with elder sister-in-law, I’ll call you. Go on, quickly get some sleep."
Seeing Yang Baixiang insist like this, Yang Ruxin did not refuse anymore and lay down on the bed next to theirs.
In the middle of the night, Xun Hui developed a fever again. Yang Baixiang couldn’t well touch his sister-in-law, so he had to wake Yang Ruxin. The doctor had prescribed a fever-reducing decoction earlier, which had been prepared; after heating it up, they fed it to her, accompanied by physical cooling methods. After struggling for about two hours, her condition finally stabilized.
Yang Ruxin then told Yang Baixiang to rest for a while since dawn was near.
Yang Baixiang didn’t insist any further and went to sleep on the bed.
Yang Family.
After Xun Hui was sent away, all became unusually quiet and calm, especially in the second branch of the family. If something truly happened to Xun Hui, it would not only be a matter of human life but could also affect her son’s career prospects.
However, when the old man Yang returned, there was an uproar.
"What?" Yang Anshi was the first to object, "All the two taels of silver were handed over?" Oh, she felt the pain in her liver.
"And that might not even be enough," Yang Peili exhaled roughly, "Moreover, the doctor said if she can wake up and replenish, then there will be no issues; but if she doesn’t come to, then we have to support her with medicines..."
"Support her with medicines?" Feng Caie also exclaimed, "Does that mean we have to spend silver every month?"
Yang Peili nodded, "The doctor said we should prepare about three to five taels every month..."
"My God, isn’t that like a bottomless pit?" Yang Baichuan was the first to cry out, "This will bring our home to its knees..." He had selectively forgotten that he was the one who had beaten Xun Hui so severely.
"Oh, second brother, that stick of yours sure was worth a lot," but someone did not want Yang Baichuan to forget, Yang Baifu spoke with a bit of schadenfreude, "There, three to five taels a month, that’s one mu of land gone every month..."
Yang Baichuan frowned and glared at Yang Baifu but couldn’t respond; after a while, he muttered, "Who knew she would rush up like that? Plus, she’s so fragile?" He felt it wasn’t his fault, but that Xun Hui brought it on herself.
