After saying that, he pulled Zhang Xing'er into the house and closed the door.

Lu Yuan looked at the Wang family's gate and sighed, knowing that they really wanted to give it to him.

He said thank you quietly to Wang Jiamen, then drove his donkey cart home.

As soon as I got to the door of my house, I took the bacon down.

He led the donkey into the yard and tied it up, then put two handfuls of hay in the stone trough.

After adding water and seeing that the donkey had food and water, he quickly ran into the house.

He said happily to Hua Niang who was lying on the bed: "Hua Niang, look what I have in my hand? It's bacon.

Let's eat some meat tonight. See how good this piece of meat is. If we save some, it will last us a year."

After saying this, he looked around the room, but didn't see his daughter, so he asked Hua Niang:

"Are we safe? Why wasn't I at home with you today?"

After asking, without waiting for Madam Hua to reply, he stood at the head of the bed, gesticulating and talking to Madam Hua about how he got the bacon today.

Hua Niang was half lying on the bed, listening to Lu Yuan talking about what happened today with a smile.

When he heard someone blocking the road, he became nervous, fearing that Lu Yuan would get hurt.

But he didn't interrupt and just listened quietly.

There was only the occasional muffled cough.

When Lu Yuan heard this, he quickly patted Hua Niang on the back to help her calm down. Seeing how uncomfortable Hua Niang was, he frowned the whole time.

After thinking about it, he gritted his teeth and said to Hua Niang: "You don't want to eat the bacon anymore, just wait for me, I will go to the town to sell it, and then take you to see a doctor.

I heard there's a little genius doctor in Fengcheng, let's go see him and cure you first."

Hua Niang shook her head and stopped Lu Yuan from leaving.

She knew that it was a blessing from God that her body could live so long, and now she just didn't want Lu Yuan to waste money anymore.

My family’s money is almost drained out because of my medical treatment.

Madam Hua no longer wants to waste money, as she feels that the rest of her life has been stolen.

Every day you live longer is a day you earn, and the money you save should be kept for Ping An and Lu Yuan to use in the future.

After all, Ping'an is still so young, and there will be many times when he will need money in the future.

"Brother Yuan, I'm fine, you can keep the bacon for your family.

Ping An and I haven't eaten the meat you cooked for a long time."

Lu Yuan wiped his tears in a corner where Hua Niang couldn't see him, then looked at Hua Niang, smiled and said hello.

However, he did not eat the bacon, but took it to Fengcheng to sell it.

Early the next morning, Lu Yuan took the silver from selling bacon and took Hua Niangzi and Ping An to find the young miracle doctor.

Lu Yuan first covered the donkey cart with a layer of straw, and then laid a layer of bedding on the straw.

He carefully helped Hua Niangzi lie down on the donkey cart, and then placed Ping An in Hua Niangzi's arms.

Ping An lay obediently in Madam Hua's arms, looking at Lu Yuan with an innocent face.

I don’t know where Lu Yuan is going to take my mother and me so early in the morning.

So he asked Lu Yuan curiously: "Dad, where are you taking Mom and Ping An?"

Lu Yuan covered the two of them with the quilt in his hand and tucked the corners carefully.

After making sure there was no leak, he stood up and replied that everything was fine.

"Daddy wants to take Mom and Ping An to get Mom treated!"

Ping'an listened to Lu Yuan's words and rubbed happily in Hua Niang's arms.

She said to Lu Yuan happily, "That's great, once mother's illness is cured, she won't cough anymore.

Then my mother can take me out to play, and we can go to the mountains to pick wild vegetables together.

By then we can dig up lots of wild vegetables and have enough to eat, and we won’t have to worry about going hungry anymore.”
