13: Chapter 13: Find a Doctor_1 13: Chapter 13: Find a Doctor_1 Yang Sanni hurriedly bent down, picked up the Copper Coins, and held them close to her chest.
In the face of life and death, dignity and the like were no longer important
âYou go ask the Doctor⊠Iâll take care of MotherâŠâ Yang Ruxin glanced at Sanni, âBe quick and come back soonâŠâ
Yang Sanni nodded and ran out the door, as if afraid that running any slower would cause the copper coins to be taken back.
There was no doctor in Dapu East Village; common ailments were typically dealt with by visiting Doctor Li in Xiaobudong Village.
Luckily, the two villages were adjacent, with only a small Xiaocang River separating them.
Three stone bridges connected the two, and to reach the western Xiaocang Mountain, residents of Dapu East Village had to pass through Xiaobudong Village.
Conversely, those in Xiaobudong Village had to pass through Dapu East Village to get to the town or county city.
Thus, travel between the two was quite frequent and convenient.
In fact, when people from other villages talked about this place, they usually just referred to it as Budong Village, without distinguishing between the âbigâ or âsmall.â
Li Yi had just finished treating Yang Dani that morning and had just returned home to have lunch when he saw Yang Sanni rush in, causing him to frown: âSanni, is your older sister not well?
That shouldnât beâŠâ
âUncle LiâŠâ Yang Sanni shook her head, âMy big sister is fine; she woke up earlier.
Itâs⊠itâs my mother⊠she has a feverâŠâ
âMy goodness, was it caused by your grandmaâs beating?
That old woman Yang is courting deathâŠâ Li Yiâs wife, Li Lengshi, couldnât help but sigh, âIs she trying to create a fatal situation?â
âAuntie, I know you care for us, but please donât talk about it.
If Grandma finds outâŠâ Sanni gave a bitter smile.
âItâs hard for you, girl.â Li Lengshi sighed.
âDonât worry; your auntie understands.â
âLetâs go take a lookâŠâ Li Yi didnât say much, put down his chopsticks, picked up his medicine chest and walked out.
âDad, Iâll go with youâŠâ Li Jiaya ran out of the house.
âWhat are you going for?â Li Lengshi quickly tried to hold back her young daughter.
âIâm going to help DadâŠâ Li Jiaya, however, quickly ran out of the door.
âThis childâŠâ Li Lengshi sighed and glanced at the table, âAre we even going to eat?â She got up anyway and put the food in the pot to keep it warm.
âSanni, this is a piece of ginger candy my dad brought back from his last visit to the Li family estate to treat someone.
Here, take a pieceâŠâ Li Jiaya, seeing her mother didnât catch up, finally stopped, walked alongside Yang Sanni, and took out a piece of ginger candy from her pouch, âItâs spicy and very tastyâŠâ
Yang Sanni shook her head: âI donât like itâŠâ and then she quickly walked ahead.
Li Jiaya was stunned for a moment, then pouted to herself, thinking you donât like it?
Have you even tried it?
Who doesnât know your family â especially your main household â can barely get enough to eat?
But she didnât say anything more and put the ginger candy back, quickly catching up with her father towards Dapu East Village.
In the annex room of the Yang Family, Xun Hui had already become delirious from the fever, babbling nonsense and scaring Erni and the others into tears.
âWhatâs there to cry about?â Yang Ruxin walked in and barked, âSheâs not dead yetâŠâ Then she checked Xun Huiâs forehead; the cold compress wasnât working well.
She then turned to Yang Erni, âWhere can we find some liquor?â
âLiquor?â Yang Erni was taken aback.
âBig sister, I knowâŠâ Yang Rufeng suddenly tugged on Yang Ruxinâs clothes, âUncle has some in his room, he drinksâŠâ
Hearing this, Yang Ruxin turned and walked out again.
