Chapter 119. Sickness come down like heavy mountain

Mrs. Song smilingly pulled You Jin's hand and asked: "I don't know which family’s girl you are. How do I address you?"

At this age, Mrs. Song's physical strength can't keep up. Right now she was already half-reclining on the couch. You Jin ordered Qiu Fen to fetch a soft pillow and place it by her waist. From the moment they stepped into the door of this house, the little girl was busy making arrangements. Mrs. Song knew that the little girl in front of her was kind-hearted and had no ill intentions towards them.

You Jin smilingly sat down as well, looking very well behaved. She replied: "Old Madam, my surname is Su. My name is You Jin. I came from Luohe Prefecture.”

She didn't notice the slight change on Mrs. Yu’s face, who sat behind her, and remained by Mrs. Song’s side and chatted.

"From Luohe Prefecture? Then we are from the same old hometown." Delighted, she patted You Jin’s hands: "Good child, you spend so much silver to save us. Our Xiao Family aren't ungrateful people. As servant and slave, it is necessary to repay your kindness."

Speaking of this, Mrs. Song's heart felt sorrow. Her Xiao Family had been in the capital for decades and made many friends. There were quite a few close contacts on most days. Unexpectedly, no one would lend a helping hand when the disaster was imminent. On the contrary, it was a little girl who she had never seen before that saved her family!

"Old Madam’s words are overpraising me. Back then, when our family was at its lowest point, Eldest Brother Xiao and Xiao Lin Feng helped us. Eldest Brother Xiao also saved my life. Now it's just repaying Elder Brother Xiao's life-saving grace a bit." You Jin inexplicably liked the elderly in front of her. Although she had suffered a lot, she was still calm and kind. It reminded her of her grandmother who raised her for more than ten years in her previous life. Although it was the first time they met each other, they inexplicably felt close to each other.

When Mrs. Song heard her mentioning her proudest grandson, her calm mood became a little sad. She sighed and sorrowfully lamented: "Lin Yu is a good child. Unfortunately! It’s us who have implicated him!"

At the mention of the people who were still in the prison, Mrs. Yu and Mrs. Zhao’s eyes became moist. Fearing that old Ancestor would be heartbroken and cry, they turned away and pulled out the clean handkerchief to wipe the moisture at the corner of their eyes.

The atmosphere instantly became a bit sad. Annoyance filled You Jin's heart. She was too muddle-headed. Now Xiao Lin Yu had been sentenced to be beheaded in the autumn and she still mentioned him in front of the elderly! She rushed to disperse the depressed and sad atmosphere, saying: "Old Madam must be tired. The outer compartment is ready. Old Madam, you have to focus on your health."

Mrs. Yu who had recomposed herself gave her a perplexed glance. Then she stepped forward to comfort Mrs. Song: "Yeah, the most important thing now is for Mother to nurture your health. The rest can’t be rushed for now."

Speaking of this, Mrs. Yu felt that her eyes were slightly sour and tears swam in her eyes. In the end, she forced it back. Because she knew that if she couldn't hold up, old Ancestor, soft -tempered Younger Sister-in-law and inexperienced niece would not be able to hold up.

Mrs. Song looked up at the two daughter-in-laws and granddaughter around her and somewhat turbid eyes became red. After a long moment of choked silence, she nodded, "Okay, I’ll listen to you."

You Jin hurriedly called people in to support Mrs. Song and to take Xiao Family to the guest room to rest.

Maybe due to suffering a lot in prison, their long-term delicately nurtured body couldn’t take the brunt of it. Now they relaxed in an instant, sickness came down like a heavy mountain. On the same day, Mrs. Song, Mrs. Yu, and Mrs. Zhao fell ill.

"The patient recently suffered too much stimulation; the fear, the worrying, and internal imbalance. I can only try to prescribe a few medicines. Three times a day. Each time, boil five bowls of water down to one. Take it after meals." Manager Wu invited Rejuvenation Hall’s gynecological sacred hand. Focused, he finished taking Mrs. Song’s pulse and remove the silver needles stuck in Lieque, Neiguan and other acupoints one by one. He instructed: "I will come back to take the pulse again in three days. Family members should pay attention to her in these three days. If the patient has a high fever, be sure to notify me quickly."

You Jin seriously kept the doctor’s word in mind and said, "I remember. Doctor Qin, there are two more elders in our family who are also ill. Must trouble you to take a look."

Hearing this, Doctor Qin gave a slight nod: "Then trouble Miss girl to lead the way."

Mrs. Yu and Mrs. Zhao’s symptoms were similar. Doctor Qin adjusted a few medicinal materials according to the two’s physiques. The prescriptions for the two were soon prescribed. In the end, he checked Xiao Lin Ru, who was barely able to pull it together. After prescribing the prescription, he hushedly spoke: "Actually, the symptoms of the four are similar. The medicine can maintain the health, but the three still need to keep calm. In addition, the old madam’s symptoms are worse due to high age. Family members need to take care of her more carefully."

In this one big family, four fell ill all at once. It mustn’t be easy either.

You Jin pursed her lips as her brows frowned slightly. With a serious expression, she responded: "Thank you Doctor Qin, we will pay attention."

She signaled Leader Guard Xiao to send Doctor Qin back to Rejuvenation Hall and bring back the four medicines prescribed by Doctor Qin along the way. While she, Qiu Fen, and Manager Wu’s wife kept guard at home and minded the three patients lying on the bed.

Xiao Lin Ru, who was a little pale, was forcibly pushed to sit on a chair by You Jin. She was a little embarrassed: "Missl Su, let me do it. I’m fine."

Their family relied on Su Family’s miss who was five years younger than her to save them. Clearly, her family were already official slaves. However, they were treated as guests. Now Grandmother, Eldest Aunt, and Mother were sick. She felt ashamed that she couldn’t be of help!

"Elder Sister Xiao, don't be reserved with me. If you become ill too, it’ll be my sin!" You Jin grinningly accepted the tea from Manager Wu's wife and placed it in Xiao Lin Ru's hands: "I’m repaying a debt of gratitude. Not forming grudges. Elder Sister Xiao looks older than me. Don't treat me as an outsider. Call me You Jin."

"Alright. You Jin, it’ll be hard on you." Xiao Lin Ru lowered her eyes halfway. A gentle smile appeared on the corner of her lips. She seemed to know why the two cousin brothers were willing to be friends with this little girl: "Okay, You Jin. Then I will ask a favor."

Before the family change, Xiao Lin Ru was a pampered but well-educated lady. Both knowledgeable and still had the rare young girl’s tenderness. Although she experienced a huge change today, her personality was also affected a bit. However, because of You Jin's extroverted personality and people skills, the two females who were considered to be similar in age became acquainted within a short period of time.

When Leader Guard Xiao returned with four big bundles of medicine, he saw the gentle smile on the familiar person's face and felt relieved in his heart. Eldest Miss finally relaxed her vigilance slightly.

Like the phrase ‘illness coming down like a mountain, illness leaving like raw silk reeling off cocoon. The three elders of Xiao Family had been ill for nearly a month from start to finish. This month, a strong fragrance of medicine lasted a long time in the air in Sujiacha’s backyard. Xiao Family’s female members did slowly recover.

On the other side, Bai Yer found out the person who redeemed and bought Xiao Family turned out to be a little-known outsider. Her teeth itched from fury: "I'm so pissed. Even a country girl from a foreign town dares to go against me!"

Sitting in front of the rhombic vanity mirror with a silk handkerchief in her hand, hate overfilled her to the point she wanted to gnaw her silver teeth into pieces! This can’t do! No matter what, she couldn't just swallow this breath!

In this month, You Jin, Qiu Fen and Manager Wu's wife took care of the four patients at home. Mrs. Song group were mostly better, while You Jin group got skinner from the exhaustion.

Initially, Mrs. Yu still held a bit of a grudge toward You Jin. Because she was the reason Eldest Son was reluctant to return to the capital for a long time. She once thought that this little girl seduced her most proud son. Unforeseen, when her family was in trouble, the only one who was willing to reach out was the little girl whom she had written to and gave an earful. This made it really hard for her to accept for a while.

"Wait, You Jin, I have something to say to you." Sitting on the bed, Mrs. Yu, who had just finished drinking the medicine, halted You Jin when she was preparing to go out with the medicine bowl.

Surprised, You Jin looked at Mrs. Yu. It wasn’t that she didn’t know that Mrs. Yu was acting a little awkward toward her these days. She sent her medicine to her every day and Mrs. Yu only gave a faint ‘thank you’. Why did she suddenly take the initiative to talk to her today? These were just some doubts in her heart. In a moment, she sat back on the round stool beside the bed. With a lowered head, she spoke, "What orders do you have?"

Shame filled Mrs. Yu's heart. It was clearly her who was on the lower rung. Instead, she made the little girl serve her like a servant. And the other party gave her respect! Suddenly she was slightly rendered speechless. After coughing, Mrs. Yu retrieved her voice and said, "Good child, I have misunderstood you before."

Mrs. Yu was someone with a good fate: born as a legitimate daughter from a wealthy family, loved by her parents when in her boudoir period. Later, she married into Xiao Family, who was better off than her own maternal family, had kind parent-in-laws, and her husband respected her. All her life, she had been treated like a star by the people below and had never bowed her head to apologize to others like this in her life. Living for decades, she was now a little ashamed to apologize to others so sincerely.

When You Jin heard what Mrs. Yu’s so-called matter, her face hadn't changed. She jollily replied: "Was there any matter in the past? Madam’s top priority now is to nurture your health. As for the rest, let us younger generations worry about it." Saying this, she brought over a cup of slightly less hot flower tea to Mrs. Yu: "Madam, moisturizes your throat. "

Mrs. Yu accepted the white porcelain cup and drank tea. She was more and more satisfied with this exquisite and considerate little girl in her heart. The smile on her face changed from relief to satisfaction. Changing after changing, she finally spoke: "It's fine. I'm almost recovered. Go handle your own matters."

Although this child was born in the countryside, this little girl's character and temperament were top-notch from what she had coldly seen in the past month. Mainly because this child still cared about the old affection. Only after suffering such a catastrophe did she see through the people whom she had close contact with on most days.

Seeing that she had nothing to say, You Jin didn't disturb her rest. With light steps, she walked out, gently closed the door, and returned a quiet rest environment to Mrs. Yu.

Lying flat on the bed, slightly droopy eyed Mrs. Yu sighed quietly. No matter how good the child was, it was never meant to be between her and Lin Yu. Thinking of Lin Yu and his unknown situation, Mrs. Yu’s dispersing depression faintly condensed.
