Chapter 69 Will It Bring Trouble to You
Su Jiuyue's smile froze on her face and she then got it back. She said, "Dr. Zhang, the medicine is ready, and we'll leave. See you."
She took Wu Xiyuan and went out after saying goodbye. Wu Xiyuan naturally took the bamboo basket from her hand and carried it on his back.
As soon as they went out of the room, they saw Mrs. Zhang was standing beside the door. She looked embarrassed.
Su Jiuyue smiled at her and bowed her head lightly. And then she left with Wu Xiyuan hurriedly.
Seeing their back as they left, Mrs. Zhang heard what Wu Xiyuan was saying.
"Dr. Zhang's wife is bad-tempered and behaves rudely before him while you've never been like that before me."
"Yes. That's because every time you get something good, you will always share it with me first instead of others. You are nice to me, so am I... "
When their talking faintly reached the ears of Mrs. Zhang, she helplessly sighed and wondered why her husband didn't understand the simple truth since the young people had thoroughly known it.
Mrs. Zhang thought there was no need to behave tenderly before her husband as Su Jiuyue and Wu Xiyuan had left. So, she directly entered the room and gathered the rice and sweet potatoes on the table. And then, she left without looking at her husband at all.
Dr. Zhang grabbed his hair as his wife went out. He then took a broom to clean up the broken pieces thrown in the yard.
As soon as Su Jiuyue went back, she decocted the herbs and sent them to Huang Husheng. Some people in the Wus were opposed to the idea that keeping Huang Husheng living here.
The person who objected the most sharply was Su Jiuyue's sister-in-law, Tian Xiuniang. She disagreed, "No way. One more person means more food to be supplied. Although we have enough food for us, there's no need to support an unrelated person from another place."
Huang Husheng had been living in the capital city for many years, therefore his accent was already localized. He even had forgotten the native accent.
As Tian Xiuniang and Chen Zhaodi didn't know Huang Husheng's identity, they thought he was a refugee from another place.
Liu Cuihua leered, "It's nonsense. Mr. Huang is a doctor and he once examined Xiyuan. Don't you hope Xiyuan recover? Don't always consider how much food we have. Does it matter to offer him some food if Xiyuan recovers?"
Tian Xiuniang was not that sharply opposed as she knew he was a doctor. She asked carefully, "Is he... really able to cure Xiyuan?"
Liu Cuihua snorted and put the teacup in her hand on the table heavily, "I bet that I will try to cure Xiyuan if there's only a tiny chance."
Tian Xiuniang knew her mother-in-law too much since she had lived with her for five years.
She understood if she continued, it might be a misfortune for her.
In the end, Huang Husheng lived here. After staying in bed for three days, he felt much better.
Liu Cuihua asked him with concern how he felt these days. And then she continued asking what he would do next.
Huang Husheng knew that he couldn't go back to his own home right now. He was wondering if someone in the Wus would go to see how it was going in the town. But he didn't express it at the thought of the turbulent and dangerous situation at that time.
Liu Cuihua said, "Mr. Huang, as you know, it was quite turbulent in the town right now. How about staying here? And I'll ask my son to see how it is in the town a few days later."
Huang Husheng was shocked and raised his head when Liu Cuihua offered to help him actively. He asked discreetly, "Will it bring trouble to you?"
After all, who can support an unrelated person in one's family during this hard year?
