Capítulo 1224: Chapter 1224: Trouble in the Gao Family
Mrs. Yan had just finished feeding the chickens, carrying Xiaoniu out to play in the courtyard, and laying a mat for An Ning to sit on and cool off.
As she turned her head, she saw Daniu rushing in, looking flustered.
Mrs. Yan imdiately chastised him, “In this scorching weather, why are you running so fast? Look at you, sweating all over…”
As she spoke, Mrs. Yan was about to fetch water for him to wash his face, but Gao Daniu grabbed her.
“It’s bad, mom, sothing’s happened at ho, grandma is ill, you must hurry back…”
“Ill? What’s going on?” She rembered last night when she ca back, the old lady was still lively and scolding people.
How could she suddenly be ill overnight?
Judging by Gao Daniu’s appearance, the illness must be serious.
“This morning when grandma got up, she found that the silver she had hidden was gone, only then did she find out that aunt took the silver to redeem Caiyun and her sisters. Grandpa was furious and wanted to kick aunt out, but uncle disagreed. Then, during the fight, aunt pushed grandma down, and she couldn’t get up imdiately. A doctor has already been called, things have gotten too chaotic and even Lizheng is alard, and everyone in the family is being summoned back…”
The affairs of the Gao Family really seem like a tangled drama that’s hard to sort out.
Even Mrs. Yan, amidst such chaos, doesn’t know what to say at the mont.
After speaking to An Ning, Mrs. Yan hurriedly returned ho with Gao Daniu.
An Ning shut the gate and watched Xiaoniu play along in the courtyard.
The little one was blissfully unaware of the adult worries, wobbling on his just-steady legs to run wildly around the courtyard.
In the afternoon, An Dafu returned with a cart full of eggs.
As he entered the courtyard, he was already drenched in sweat.
In ancient tis, the well water was pure and unpolluted. Without bothering anyone, An Dafu took the ladle in his hands and drank half a ladle to quench his thirst.
“Dad, in this heat, why do you bother collecting eggs at midday?” An Ning quickly grabbed a towel from the rope and ca over to wipe sweat off An Dafu.
An Dafu grabbed the towel and rubbed it across his face, then threw it back into the water basin to clean it before hanging it back on the rope.
“The restaurant needs them urgently, and the preserved eggs need a few days to store. If we don’t hurry up and prepare, how would we keep up with their demand?” An Dafu replied.
“Pay attention to your health!” An Ning glanced up at the blazing sun. In ancient tis, the weather was bitterly cold in winter and unbearably hot in sumr.
Given the current weather, walking outside felt like walking in a furnace.
This was particularly unbearable for An Ning, who was used to air conditioning since childhood.
As she gazed at An Dafu’s darkened and weathered skin, An Ning tenderly touched his face, “Dad, we’re not as destitute as when we first ca here. Making money is important, but it’s not worth risking your life. Look at your skin; it’s nearly scorched!”
“Heh…” An Dafu laughed. “Don’t worry, your dad endured hardships when he was young, I’ve done tougher jobs. Hauling a cart to collect things is a minor task.”
An Dafu had his own calculations. Although they weren’t lacking in food and drink now, they didn’t have a piece of land to their na, which was another issue.
In this era, scholars, farrs, craftsn, and rchants.
Though a rchant’s status wasn’t as lowly as often rumored, it still couldn’t compare to other classes.
