Chapter 193: Chapter 193 Can Only Help Temporarily, Can’t Always Help Chapter 193: Chapter 193 Can Only Help Temporarily, Can’t Always Help Xiao Hua’s small face looked quite thin, and she was wearing patched-up clothes, her face devoid of any color from the cold.
“My father didn’t co. It was my aunt who brought my brother to see the doctor.”
This made Captain Zhao furrow his brow slightly. Da Zhu’s father was really irresponsible, allowing his own son, who had a fever, to just endure it at ho rather than bringing him to see the village doctor?
If he were healthy, he might have withstood it, but Da Zhu, with his malnourished look, how could he endure? He could have beco delirious from the fever.
Yun Xiaoxiao was holding so fever-reduction pills.
Actually, children’s fever dicine is mostly in powder form.
“Mom…..”
“Dad…..”
Yun Xiaoxiao didn’t know how her father-in-law had co, but she helped Da Zhu up and began to administer the dicine to him.
“Mom, let help.”
Da Zhu was unconscious but still knew how to swallow, which was a good sign. After pouring half a porcelain jar of the mixture, she grabbed a towel to fetch water for a physical fever reduction.
After changing the water several tis, she finally felt Da Zhu’s fever subside—it wasn’t as hot as before.
“Dad, you go ahead with your tasks! I’ll keep watch here.”
Captain Zhao frowned, his gaze resting on Da Zhu and Xiao Hua.
They could only help temporarily, not indefinitely.
Moreover, Da Zhu’s father was still alive, he wasn’t an orphan.
“Hmm,” Captain Zhao thought there were so matters better handled by the wife.
Laosan’s Wife was thinking too simplistically.
Now they might have won montarily, but how would Da Zhu and Xiao Hua manage their household?
Shortly after Captain Zhao left, Da Zhu woke up, groggy.
“Brother, brother…..”
Da Zhu saw Xiao Hua, and also saw Da Bao and Xiao Bao, even his aunt.
“You finally woke up. Do you feel soreness in your throat now?”
Da Zhu felt previously as if he was in a hot oven, but now it wasn’t so hot.
“Yes.” His voice ca out hoarse.
“I have so food here.” Da Bao had food in his pocket.
“I have so egg cakes here, eat one to fill your stomach first,” Yun Xiaoxiao had rembered Da Zhu hadn’t eaten when she went back to get dicine, so she also brought so egg cakes.
“Xiao Hua, you eat one too.”
Their own two little ones shouldn’t go without.
“Thank you, Aunt.” Da Zhu indeed felt very hungry; now that winter had arrived, their family only ate two als a day, having been hungry for almost a day yesterday.
The egg cakes really tasted good.
The village doctor ca in with a bowl of dicine, saw the kids eating egg cakes, and noticed Da Zhu had woken up.
“Has the fever gone down?”
“Yes, Da Bao’s father bought so dicine from the town’s health clinic, planning ahead since I can’t handle the kids’ colds and fevers by myself.”
The village doctor wasn’t surprised.
These days, who in the brigade didn’t know that Elder Zhao doted on his wife?
“That’s good.”
But they couldn’t stay here indefinitely.
“How much do I owe?”
After all, the doctor had examined Da Zhu and prepared the dicine, so they needed to pay the consultation and herbal fees.
“Three dis.”
After Yun Xiaoxiao paid, she looked at Da Zhu. “Can you walk?”
Da Zhu imdiately nodded. Despite being eight, he was very thin.
“Yes, I can.”
He struggled to get up from the small bed, nearly falling, but Yun Xiaoxiao was quick to catch him.
“Let’s go, we’re heading ho.”
Yun Xiaoxiao thought about how weak Da Zhu still was; though his fever had gone down, his body was still frail.
anwhile, Mrs. Zhao, having learned of this from Captain Zhao, was deeply concerned.
“You should visit Da Zhu’s house…..”
Mrs. Zhao had no good feelings for Da Zhu’s father and his stepmother.
