Chen Guilan snorted coldly, "Your second aunt got sick from eating the at you braised. Who knows if you intentionally put so filthy stuff in it? Going to the hospital requires money, and naturally, whoever caused it should pay. Our family has no money. Co with , they're still waiting!"
"That's really strange, getting sick just like that. Yanyan and I have been eating it for days without any problem. What kind of illness does Second Aunt have?" Tian Sangsang was skeptical. Her braised food couldn't possibly make soone sick. At most, Second Aunt might have not washed her hands properly, causing an upset stomach, or she ate too much braised food, or maybe it was food poisoning from eating the braised food with mulberry wine.
After all, in the hot sumr, the stomach is fragile, and food shouldn't be eaten recklessly.
"How would I know what kind of illness it is? Dr. Li said it's quite serious. You have to take dicine to get better!" Chen Guilan said with conviction.
"Did Second Aunt see Dr. Li?" Tian Sangsang looked at her curiously. Could it really be an illness?
"Of course!" Chen Guilan blurted out, a hint of unnaturalness flashing across her face.
Tian Sangsang pursed her lips slightly and said slowly, "Why don't we bring Dr. Li to our house and let him check again?"
"No need! I told you, your second aunt already saw the doctor, and the dicine is prescribed! Dr. Li is a busy person, not like so who are lazy and idle all day long!"
"Oh." Tian Sangsang smiled slightly, "Then I'll go with you to take a look." She wanted to see what kind of trick they were up to.
"Mom, I want to go too." ng Shuyan said, trying to jump down from the chair.
Watching his small body tremble, Tian Sangsang felt a pang of anxiety and imdiately held him. "No way, you haven't even finished your breakfast. Stay ho and finish eating, Mommy will be back soon."
"But—" ng Shuyan's little eyebrows furrowed, his childish voice saying, "I'm afraid bad people will bully you."
"They won't."
Making such a fuss, as if her son was sothing precious! Going out like it was a life-and-death separation.
Chen Guilan snorted disdainfully, walking into the yard, shouting back, "Tian Sangsang, are you coming or not?!"
"Son, Mom has a task for you. Go find Dr. Li and tell him to go to Grandma's house, saying soone is seriously ill there. Do you know where Dr. Li's house is?" Tian Sangsang whispered into his ear.
"Mom, I know." ng Shuyan's peach blossom eyes sparkled, and he smiled softly.
"Can you complete the task?" She patted the little curls on his head.
"I guarantee to complete the task!" He straightened his little body and gave a salute.
Tian Sangsang followed Chen Guilan to the main house.
This main house was two or three tis bigger than Tian Sangsang's, with a spacious yard, well-planned vegetable garden, and chickens and ducks. The living room, kitchen, bedroom, and storage room were all separate. Although the overall quality of the house was the sa as the village's, all made of mud, it had the advantage of being large enough.
Arriving at her own ho, Chen Guilan gave Tian Sangsang a aningful glance, her lips tugging into a smile.
At this ti, the Tian family yard was filled with villages watching the commotion outside the door.
When Tian Sangsang arrived, they started whispering among themselves, and instead of pointing fingers, it was clear that since the last ti Tian Sangsang had gotten angry, they didn't dare to act recklessly anymore.
"Her second aunt ate her braised at and is still lying in bed, unable to get up."
"Really? Why? How could eating at cause that?"
"I heard that Tian Sangsang purposely gave her second aunt bad at."
"That's too cruel!"
"Yeah, really cruel!"
"She's still so bad!"
"..."
As Tian Sangsang was about to step over the threshold, a crutch suddenly swung towards her. If she hadn't dodged quickly, it would have stabbed her.
Grandma Tian's angry voice ca closer from the room, "Tian Sangsang, you wicked girl!"
The old lady, with a crutch in one hand and the other on her hip, was as majestic as a demon mother from back in the day.
She trembled, still trying to hit Tian Sangsang.
"Grandma, be careful!" Tian Sangsang went to support her, looking at Chen Guilan and Tian Tian, frowning, "Grandma's so old, you should keep an eye on her. How can you let her fight alone? The threshold is so high, what if she trips and hurts her back?"
"Let go of , you heartless!" The crutch hit her thigh, not too painfully, but Tian Sangsang let out a hiss, still pretending it hurt terribly.
"You little brat, what did your second aunt ever do to you? You heartless thing, to tornt her like this! Look at her, still lying in bed, just yelling about a stomach ache! You want to anger to death, don't you? Killing your parents wasn't enough, now you want to kill and your second aunt too?" The old lady pointed her finger at her, cursing.
After witnessing that, the spectators' impression of Tian Sangsang improved a bit. Just now Grandma Tian nearly fell, and she went to her aid and got hit, but she didn't complain. Seems she's really changed, seeing is believing.
Tian Sangsang said, "Grandma, I can't accept what you said. Aunt called here saying Second Aunt was sick, and I was puzzled. What does Second Aunt's illness have to do with ? You should at least explain it to in front of everyone. I understand we might have so misunderstandings because of my looks, as we live separately from you. But you can't just accuse as you please. Even if I jump into the Yellow River, I couldn't wash away the bla."
"You, you still want to argue!" Grandma Tian was so angry her face turned red, swinging the crutch again.
"Tian family's, yes, let Tian Sangsang say a few words, why not?" soone interjected.
"Grandma, calm down." Tian Tian quickly stepped in, stopping Grandma Tian, gently patting her back, and softly said to Tian Sangsang, "Cousin, it's like this. Auntie got sick after eating your braised at yesterday, vomiting and diarrhea, and she's still lying inside, ice-cold. Dr. Li checked her and suggested it would be best to go to the hospital, so you should compensate Auntie for the money."
"Did I give Second Aunt braised at?" Tian Sangsang laughed, feeling frustrated, "When did I give Second Aunt braised at? You know I often go to town to set up a stall, and yesterday, when I got back, I saw Second Aunt sitting in my yard, holding my braised at jar. We're relatives, I don't care about a bit of braised at, but at least let know if you want to eat so. If it weren't for Second Aunt, I would've thought my house got robbed."
"Good thing it wasn't a thief, but Second Aunt. You can ask Aunt Zhong about it, she lives next door and saw it all." Tian Sangsang added.
