Chapter 215 Teacher's Wife's Heartache
Wu Tong was so angry at Xue Qing and Liu that his face turned red and his neck became thick. He shouted with red eyes: "You dare to talk to me like this now, ah! Don't forget..."
Liu simply opened up, but still lowered her voice: "Don't forget what? Don't forget that we are grasshoppers tied to the same rope! If I am not good, you can't be good either! If you want to die, we will be beheaded together!"
Wu Tong seemed to be tied up by an invisible rope, unable to move, until Liu's slamming of the door acted like a loose noose, untying the rope for him.
When Xue Qing returned to the west wing, she heard what Liu said. It seemed that their relationship was not just a simple husband and wife. She didn't really want to know the inside story. After all, she might leave here one day.
Jiang Yi and Ding were still busy in the kitchen.
The gloomy weather finally turned into heavy snow.
It snowed heavily for three days, until the 27th day of the twelfth lunar month, when the weak sunlight slowly began to peek out.
Xue Qing and Jiang Yi prepared some homemade braised food and went to Cheng's house in Anyang City together.
The two set out early in the morning. The road was blocked by heavy snow. When they stepped on the ground, the snow was already above their ankles. Although they were wearing new cotton shoes for the winter, they still could not completely keep out the cold.
When I reached the intersection, I didn't see Uncle Li driving the ox cart. Fortunately, there was a donkey cart waiting alone at the intersection.
Xue Qing remembered that he fell off the donkey cart last time, so he walked over anyway. The man driving the cart saw two men, wrapped tightly from head to toe, walking towards him.
He quickly took two steps forward and asked, "Are you two going to Anyang City?"
Jiang Yi nodded, with a scarf wrapped around his head, and said in a muffled voice: "Yes"
The driver was about to step forward to take the basket that Jiang Yi was carrying. Jiang Yi waved his hand, walked to the donkey cart in three or two steps, and put the basket on the cart with an effort.
Xue Qing had also walked over. The driver looked at the two of them. He had not been out for three days. The end of every year was the busiest time for business. No matter how frugal people were at other times, they would still go to the city to prepare some New Year's goods before the New Year.
The second heavy snow this year directly locked people in their homes. Seeing that it was finally sunny today, he thought that many people would come out today.
I just didn’t expect that after waiting for so long, I only saw two people, and when I looked behind me, there was no one else in sight.
Xue Qing glanced at Jiang Yi, and heard Jiang Yi say to the driver: "There shouldn't be anyone else today, so we'll hire your car today, 20 cents, how about that?"
The driver, who was secretly worried, suddenly became excited when he heard that he could earn twenty cents just by following them today.
"Sir, can you keep your word?" He was afraid that the business would go away, but also afraid that the business would come too easily.
Jiang glanced at him and said, "It's settled. Can we go now?"
"Let's go now, let's go now, please take your seats!"
The snowy road was difficult to travel on, but fortunately, the driver was an experienced man.
Normally it takes more than half an hour to reach the city gate, but today it took me more than an hour.
They did not stop, but drove the donkey cart into Anyang City and headed straight for the Cheng family.
When they arrived at the Cheng family, unfortunately the old lady of the Cheng family was not feeling well. When Cheng Yang saw Xue Qing coming, his eyes lit up. How could he forget that Miss Wu knew medical skills!
Xue Qing saw Cheng Niu's eyes full of surprise when he opened the door and saw her, but her face was not very good, with dark circles under her eyes. Jiang Yi looked at Cheng Niu cautiously.
"Miss Wu, it's great that you're here. Please come in."
Cheng Niu welcomed them into the main hall, and without asking them to sit down, he said directly: "Miss Wu, my mother has been feeling unwell recently. The doctor prescribed medicine and she has taken it, but it is not getting better. Can you take a look at her?"
Xue Qing didn't know any medical skills, so he could only tell the truth: "Brother Cheng, I have never learned medical skills. The last time I saved Cheng Yang, I only knew that one method."
But since I'm here, I have to pay a visit to Old Madam Cheng.
Cheng Niu still didn't believe it. If she could save her son, she must be able to cure her mother.
"Miss Wu, can you please go and see how my mother is doing first?" Cheng Niu pleaded.
Xue Qing comforted him: "Brother Cheng, I was originally going to visit Old Madam Cheng as well."
After a pause, he said, "Wait a moment longer, let's go get rid of the cold air on our bodies."
There was a charcoal brazier in the middle of the main room. After saying that, Xue Qing and Jiang Yi took off their heavy cotton robes and the cotton jackets and scarves on their heads.
When Xue Qing walked into the room, Mrs. Cheng, who had been in a depressed mood for days, slowly raised her eyelids and when she saw that it was Xue Qing, her eyes suddenly lit up.
Xue Qing saw Madam Cheng, whose face was sallow, and stepped forward and asked softly, "Madam, are you okay?"
Old Madam Cheng was about to sit up, and Cheng Niu quickly helped her up, half lying on the bed.
Madam Cheng slowly stretched out her hand and said weakly, "Qing'er, you're here!"
Xue Qing held her hand, but not as firmly as last time.
Madam Cheng said to Cheng Niu: "Go prepare lunch, I will talk to Qing'er."
Cheng Niu quickly retreated.
Jiang Yi also followed him to the main room.
"Madam, are you feeling unwell?" Xue Qing couldn't help but ask.
Madam Cheng smiled slightly: "The doctor said it was just a cold, nothing serious, but for me, it's a heart disease!"
Xue Qing knew that the old lady just wanted to find someone to talk to, so he just listened.
"I dreamed about Cheng Niu's father a while ago. He asked me why I didn't take good care of this family, leaving his grandson without a mother and his son still single? The old man is blaming me."
As he spoke, his eyes turned red and tears fell.
Xue Qing can't solve this!
"Madam, you are looking for a wife for Brother Cheng. That's a good thing. Please take a look around to see if there is a suitable girl."
While Xue Qing was speaking, he held her wrist and felt her pulse carefully. It was beating strongly, so there should be nothing serious. It was just that she was not proficient in Chinese medicine and only knew a little bit about it.
He stood up and poured a glass of water for the old lady. After the old lady finished drinking the water, she continued to talk to Xue Qing. Unconsciously, she drank a whole pot of water.
When Cheng Yang rushed in like a gust of wind, "Grandma, are you feeling better?"
Madam Cheng looked at Cheng Yang with loving eyes, but she also pretended to be very stern and reprimanded him: "Cheng Yang, you are so unruly. Didn't you see Sister Wu?"
Cheng Yang grinned and said, "Hello, Sister Wu." He jumped twice and came to Xue Qing. Xue Qing picked him up and said, "Little Cheng Yang, you have grown taller."
After saying that, he took out a small paper bag from his sleeve, which contained candy.
As soon as you take it out, you can smell the sweet scent.
Little Chengyang was very happy: "Thank you Sister Wu, I haven't eaten candy for a long time"
The old lady was delighted to see Cheng Yang clinging to Xue Qing and Xue Qing being patient with Cheng Yang.
When Cheng Niu came in, he saw this scene: his mother was sitting on the bed with a kind face, watching Cheng Yang eating candy in Xue Qing's arms, and Xue Qing was looking at Cheng Yang tenderly. This scene reminded her of his deceased wife.
