Chapter 1634: Chapter 1634: Folk Remedy
Mrs. An left, although Su Yunjin said she had already called a doctor for the child, Mrs. An still planned to privately look into some traditional remedies to treat the child’s cough.
The elderly women and doctors in the village knew quite a few remedies for children’s coughs. Little Tiangua was the future Little Princess, and if anything went wrong, who could bear the responsibility?
The Gu Family’s honor and disgrace now all depended on Little Tiangua. Aside from Little Tiangua, who else could bring glory to the Gu Family in the village? Mrs. An decided privately to find remedies for the child, while Gu Changshun brought Hongzhu and Luchou back to the old Gu Family house, “Two little beauties, please wait a moment, I’ll go to the kitchen to find you something to eat.”
Hongzhu and Luchou pretended to be sisters and even told Gu Changshun that they had come to seek refuge with relatives because their hometown was flooded. Since their relatives had already moved, they had nowhere to go. Gu Changshun harbored ill thoughts; seeing that Hongzhu and Luchou were both beautiful, he even dreamed of marrying them both.
Gu Changshun dreamt happily and, upon hearing that the two had not eaten, kindly offered to take them home to eat, even saying they could come and eat at his house every day.
Mrs. Zhang tightly managed the family’s food and finances. When Gu Changshun suddenly brought two women home, Mrs. Zhang’s face immediately turned a bit unpleasant.
Gu Changshun sidled up to Mrs. Zhang, “Mother, both these girls like your son. They will be your daughters-in-law in the future, so don’t fret over a bit of grain. You wouldn’t want your son to be unable to find a wife, right?”
Mrs. Zhang snorted and kicked Gu Changshun.
“Bah, take a look at yourself! Getting one to take an interest in you is already a blessing, and you want two?” Mrs. Zhang thought Hongzhu and Luchou were there to freeload and looked at them with disdain, noticing their clothes were so old and patched with several conspicuous patches.
Where did these beggars come from?
And they dare to fool her son?
Gu Changshun feared his two little beauties would be driven away and whispered to his mother, Mrs. Zhang: “Mother, after all, these two are women, and if they stay, they could give you grandsons! How about that?”
Talking about grandsons.
Mrs. Zhang’s eyes lit up. What her son said made sense; these two looked like they could bear children well. If they were obedient, it would be nice to keep them and let them give birth to a few chubby grandsons for her.
For the sake of future grandsons, Mrs. Zhang became attentive, “Changshun! You stay and take good care of the two young ladies, don’t be negligent. I’ll go to the kitchen to prepare food for you.”
Gu Changshun felt joyful at solving his mother’s problem and eagerly went to attend to Hongzhu and Luchou, “Are you two thirsty? Brother will pour you some water.” Gu Changshun poured a cup of water for each of them using a teapot. Hongzhu and Luchou only intended to use Gu Changshun to get back at Su Yunjin, and intentionally or not, they were both inquiring about Gu Ya and Su Yunjin.
Gu Changshun, who hung around in gambling dens every day, knew nothing about Su Yunjin and them. When Hongzhu and Luchou asked, Gu Changshun could only hedge and make things up.
After feeding Little Tiangua her medicine, Su Yunjin cared for her for another half day, and she finally coughed less. Holding Little Tiangua, though it had only been two days, the little one seemed to have slimmed down a bit.
Su Yunjin felt a bit of heartache, but Little Tiangua still grinned at her.
“You, do you know how much you’re worrying your mother, yet you’re still laughing?” Su Yunjin poked Little Tiangua’s chubby cheek, and Little Tiangua waved her plump hand and laughed again. The most update n0vels are published on novel⁂fire.net
