I'm reborn, so it's not too much to kill the one who traveled through the book, right?
Chapter 266 She is naturally happy to take advantage
In the courtyard of Gu Laotian's house mentioned by Liu Jinfeng, a skinny woman in ragged clothes was kneeling in the courtyard, begging bitterly:
"Mom, please give me some eggs so I can take the child to see Doctor Shen!"
The old woman's voice of cursing immediately came out from the house, "Don't eggs cost money? Is a cheap life worth a few eggs? Let her lie down, she will be fine after two days!"
"Mother, please, Cao'er's face is burning red. If it continues like this, she will die." Lou kowtowed and begged with tears.
Unfortunately, those worthless tears are of no use to Gu Laotian and his family.
Those people from the Gu family who were at home were all watching indifferently, and no one said a word for Lou.
"It's just right that the money-loser is dead. Money-loser, if you hadn't been the one to support her, this wouldn't have happened today!" The eldest daughter-in-law begged, but Mrs. Ma was not moved at all.
If crying and begging were useful, I'm afraid old Mrs. Ma would have gone out and begged for 19 grandwives-in-law for her 19 grandsons.
The family was extremely poor. One egg could be sold for one cent, and six eggs could be sold for six cents. That was a lot of money!
Seeing her mother-in-law's firm attitude, Lou raised her hand to wipe away her tears, got up from the ground, and went into the room next to the toilet in the backyard.
The Gu family had a large population, and the eldest wife had no son, so the three of them lived in a house that was converted from a firewood shed next to the toilet.
In the small mud house, a skinny little girl was lying on the bed, her face flushed with fever, and she was unconscious.
After Lou entered the room, she first touched her daughter's face, and then opened the small wooden box in the corner.
She rummaged around in there for a long time before finally finding a piece of cloth that was not much bigger than a palm.
Although the cloth was a bit old, the color was bright. It was the most valuable thing she could take out.
She stuffed the cloth into her arms, picked up her light-feeting daughter, left Gu's house and went straight to Shen Rong's house.
When Mrs. Lou took her daughter out, Mrs. Ma looked through the window and said nothing.
Old Ma knew very well that the eldest wife could not produce anything valuable, and since Shen Lianchuan was willing to give nothing for her family's medical treatment, she was naturally happy to take advantage of it.
Liu Jinfeng had just finished telling Shen Rong about the Gu Laotian family next door when the eldest daughter-in-law of the Gu family, Lou, appeared outside the gate of Shen Rong's house holding her daughter who was already unconscious from a fever, with a hesitant look on her face.
Shen Rong didn't expect that Liu Jinfeng had just told her about the eldest daughter-in-law of the Gu family, and she would appear outside her door so soon.
Liu Jinfeng gave Shen Rong a look that said, "You decide."
"Auntie, come in quickly. What's wrong with this child?" Shen Rong put away her needlework and stood up immediately.
"Um... Doctor Shen is not at home?" Lou quickly glanced at the yard and lowered her head embarrassedly.
"My grandfather has a patient in the next village. He went out early in the morning and should be back soon."
Seeing that Lou was struggling to hold a half-grown child, and thinking of what Liu Jinfeng had said before, Shen Rong couldn't help but feel a little sympathy for this miserable-looking woman.
"Aunt, come in first! Everyone in the village knows that I have been learning medicine from my grandfather. Let me take a look at the child first. Even if I can't cure him, I can at least give him some time to wait for my grandfather to come back."
Shen Rong's words moved Lou and she carried the child into the yard.
Shen Rong brought the person into the room where Sixth Grandpa usually treated patients.
Liu Jinfeng did not come in to watch the fun, but shouted to Shen Rong from across the room: "Sanniang, you go ahead and do your work, I'm going back!"
After saying that, he left Shen Rong's yard in a flash.
These days, any cold can kill a person. Even the most celebratory person would not go near a sick person to watch the fun. It would be too late to hide!
"Auntie, put the child on the bamboo bed!" Shen Rong pointed to the bamboo bed by the window.
Mrs. Lou looked at the clean and tidy bed and was stunned for a moment. Then she put her daughter in her arms on the bamboo bed covered with a thin quilt.
"Shen... Young Doctor, please help me take a look at my daughter. I..." Lou said as she took out a piece of brightly colored cloth from her bosom and handed it to Shen Rong.
"Aunt, please let me see the child first." Shen Rong did not take the cloth and asked Lou to stand aside. She took two steps forward and only then could she see the girl's appearance clearly.
The child was very thin and dark, and she didn't look like a girl at all. She looked very small, with a big head and a body as thin as a bamboo pole.
The bamboo bed for the patient was only two feet wide, and the girl lying on it took up only a very small space. The originally narrow bamboo bed immediately seemed wider when this skinny girl lay on it.
Because of the fever, the girl's complexion didn't look that bad, it was dark with a hint of red, and her lips were dry and cracked.
The clothes on his body were tattered and it would not be an exaggeration to say that he was barely clothed.
If Liu Jinfeng hadn't mentioned it to her in advance, she really wouldn't have been able to tell that this was a girl, and a girl of twelve or thirteen years old.
This child is about the same age as an eight or nine-year-old. He is so thin that only the little Zhuzi mentioned above can be compared to him.
But what about the little pillar?
He had no father or mother. At that time, his only grandmother was sick and could not get out of bed. Xiao Zhuzi could not get enough food to eat during that time.
Although Xiao Zhuzi and his grandmother lived a hard life in the past, they could barely have a full meal every day.
But the girl in front of him obviously had never had enough food since she was a child. She had a father and a mother, but her life was obviously worse than that of Xiao Zhuzi who had no father or mother.
Shen Rong glanced at the equally skinny woman next to her and didn't know what to say.
She put her hand on Xiaocao's head and was immediately shocked by the heat.
This is too hot!
Shen Rong felt the patient's pulse again, but unfortunately she was not very skilled and could only roughly tell that the girl had caught a cold.
"Aunt, your daughter caught a cold. Where did she go?" Shen Rong asked, putting her hand on Lou's daughter's wrist.
"She went to the western ravine the day before yesterday and accidentally fell into the ditch, getting her clothes wet. She didn't change the wet clothes in time and she had a fever that night." Lou said with a bitter face.
It wasn't that her daughter didn't change her wet clothes in time; it was that she had no clothes to change at all.
Shen Rong looked at the patient who was unconscious due to fever and sighed in her heart.
I don’t know whether this child is lucky or whether Mrs. Lou and her husband are too careless.
The child had been having a fever for several days before being sent here. Shen Rong couldn't help but feel even more sympathetic towards the child.
Shen Rong considered it and did not prescribe any medicine for the patient. She first poured some warm water and asked Lou Shanguan to wipe her daughter's body. She then took out an old quilt from the cabinet in the east room and covered the patient with it.
The weather was getting cold, and bedding for the patients was prepared in the east room. Although they were old, there were no patches on the quilt covers. If someone used them, Sixth Grandma would take them apart, wash them, and let them dry in the sun, so they would be clean and warm.
This quilt was used by Changsheng before. Although Changsheng no longer uses it, when Lou saw such bedding, a hint of envy flashed in her eyes.
When she married into the Gu family, she was covered with an unpatched quilt!
It has been more than 20 years. The quilt at home has been patched again and again, and there is no good place left. The cotton inside has become hard, and it leaks air when you cover yourself with it when it is cold. Unlike this quilt, it looks warm.
While holding up the corner of the quilt for her daughter, Lou touched the quilt with her hand.
