At night, Su Yan still couldn't hear the sound, and the pain in her cheek became more and more obvious, but she didn't show it.
Her family is always busy.
Naturally, I feel very sad.
Although she didn't say it, Qin An also knew it hurt.
As soon as she turned over, he sat up, then stood up and went out. He quickly came in with a basin of water. He wrung out the handkerchief slightly, folded it and placed it on the side of her face.
Less than a quarter of an hour later, she wetted the water again and applied it to her face again.
Repeat this ten times.
He asked in a low voice: "Are you feeling better?"
Su Yan's eyes were a little swollen now, and she looked vaguely at the black shadow in front of her, unable to hear his voice, "Stop it."
Obviously still can't hear it.
Qin An didn't say anything else, packed up her things, went to bed, held her in his arms, and patted her back gently, as if coaxing her.
He whispered: "Daughter-in-law, I'm sorry."
Su Yan didn't hear it and gradually fell asleep in his arms. She still couldn't hear for several days.
The redness and swelling on my face has gone away.
After staying at home for a few days, Su Yan felt a little bored. Seeing Qin An going out to buy groceries, she called him, "I want to go."
Qin An said "hmm", stretched out his hand to pull her, and signaled her not to wander around after going out.
Su Yan understood what he meant and patted his hand gently, indicating that he didn't need to be so nervous.
She is just deaf.
Now that the weather is getting colder, there are many people in the market at noon, bustling and bustling, but Su Yan can't hear a word.
She looked at the other people who were opening their mouths to speak, feeling slightly worried.
I don’t know when I will hear it again.
Her palms were clenched, and she looked sideways at the man next to her, who was holding her while looking at the food.
I felt a little moved in my heart.
"Sister, sister, your hairpin fell off."
The woman shouted something from behind, but no one responded. She ran forward and patted Su Yan, "Sister, your hairpin has fallen off."
"I shouted many times but you didn't answer."
Su Yan reached out and took the hairpin, wondering what she was saying, "Sorry, I can't hear you."
"Ah? It's okay, it's okay, just give it back to you." The woman waved her hand in embarrassment.
She said to Qin An again: "There are many people in the market, so hold your wife close. She can't hear her. If she gets lost, it will be difficult to find her."
"Okay." Qin An nodded.
He glanced to the side, and saw the woman's beautiful fox eyes staring at him, as if she was watching what he was talking about, and his heart softened.
He led her towards the chestnut cakes and queued up to buy two for her.
He opened it for her and motioned her to eat it now. Su Yan hadn't eaten these for a few days and was still a little greedy, so she ate them with one hand.
The two of them walked back and forth like this, holding hands. It wasn't until they returned home that Qin An gave her hand.
Take the fish into the kitchen to make fish soup.
Su Yan sat on the cloth mat in the main room with Tuan Tuan in her arms. Seeing his happy expression, she also laughed along with him.
Tuan Tuan kept saying: "Mother... mother..."
Cuilan and Zhang Xiu's eyes lit up, Cuilan said: "Tuan Tuan is calling me mother."
Qin An, who was in the kitchen, heard the sound and came out of the kitchen. He saw his wife holding the child with a smile on her face. The child kept calling her mother, hoping that she would answer him.
He felt sour in his heart, his wife kept wanting to call her "Mother", if she heard her now, I don't know how happy she would be.
He went back to his room to get a pen and ink, wrote something and handed it to Su Yan. Su Yan took a look at it, laughed happily, raised the ball and said, "Mom, I know." After that, she kissed his cheek.
She added: "Save it for now. When mother can hear you, you can shout a few more times."
Although she didn't hear Tuantuan's voice, knowing that he would shout already made her feel happy.
After dinner, Qin An wanted to talk to her, so he took a pen and ink and wrote to her: Are you feeling uncomfortable?
Su Yan shook her head.
Qin An took the brush and wrote again: The doctor said that the deafness will be fine after a while, so don't worry.
He paused: Don't be afraid, I'm here.
I'm at home these days and not going anywhere.
After reading it, Su Yan said: "Don't worry about me, I'll stay at home while you go to the academy to study. There is a provincial examination this year."
Qin An: It's your fault, I don't have the heart to study.
Something happened at home. If he could study peacefully, the family wouldn't need him as a man.
When his wife was capable, he went to study. When his wife was sick, he took care of her.
Su Yan thought so and said nothing. Her eyes fell on his blue and black eyes. It was obvious that he had not slept well in the past few days.
Or maybe you can't sleep at all.
Thinking of this, she said aloud: "Please sleep with me for a while."
Qin An nodded, bent down and picked her up, then placed her on the bed, lowered his head and kissed her, then stood up to close the door.
After sleeping for two quarters of an hour, he was woken up by the sound of crying. He subconsciously looked at his wife next to him without noticing it at all.
I usually wake up whenever there is any movement.
The doctor said it would be fine in four or five days, but it was already four or five days ago.
She still couldn't hear any sound.
When Tuantuan cries, he likes to be held up high to cheer her up, and within a few seconds she is dancing with joy.
He reached out to wipe his drool with a cloth and whispered, "Be obedient. Mom is not feeling well. Let her rest peacefully."
Tuantuan could understand a little bit of the words now. He nodded in confusion, and Qin An kissed him.
At this time, Zhang Xiu came in from outside and said, "Master, the master of the academy is looking for you."
Qin An stood up and gave the ball to Cuilan, and said: "Steam an egg and feed it to him."
After saying that, he walked out. As soon as he went out, he saw Master Song from the academy, "What's the matter?"
Master Song pointed to the location of the teahouse and said, "Go there and talk."
After entering the teahouse, Mr. Song took a sip of tea and said, "The provincial examination is coming soon. You should seize the time to study."
"We can't delay family matters for so long."
"I will go to the academy to study tomorrow."
Qin An said without thinking: "No, I want to take my wife to Fucheng for medical treatment."
Su Yan has a bad ear, so naturally she can't delay it. If you delay it for too long, there will be no cure.
He doesn't care if his wife is deaf, but he wants her to be well.
It takes at least ten days to go to the capital city. If it is not good, it will be delayed for a long time, and the provincial examination will be suspended.
The master disagreed and said: "Put these things away at home first and ask the county doctor to look at her. After the provincial examination, you can take her to the capital to see her."
"No, I want to show her first." Qin Xian's expression showed that there was no room for negotiation.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! When he saw the wife and wanted to say something, he said in a low voice: "Even if it is the imperial examination, if my wife is not good, I have to treat her first."
A wife is much more important than other things.
The Master was silent for a moment. After a while, he said in a deep and profound way: "Those who achieve great things do not stick to their families."
“If you want to climb high and see far, you must give up something.”
"My wife is the most important." Qin An still insisted.
Seeing that he couldn't explain it, the master frowned slightly, with a serious look in his eyes, "Then why are you studying? You might as well farm in the village and study for a few years, and you will be delayed because of trivial matters at home..."
"It's not a small matter, it's a big deal for my wife."
Qin An originally did not want to obtain fame from the beginning. He only wanted to learn how to read and help his wife settle accounts.
Later, he had no choice but to think about it. The life he had now was not what he wanted. Even if he was hunting at home, he could still protect his wife from being bullied, but now he couldn't care about his family.
"Ignorance!" the Master couldn't help scolding.
Qin An looked at him straightly. His wife usually took good care of him. He explained: "Without my wife, I can't study, let alone have a home."
"I know better than anyone else that whether studying is more important than having a wife."
The Master did not expect him to be affectionate, and shook his head with some pity, "Even if you gain fame like this, you will still be threatened by others. Being an official is not something you can do alone. Officials are connected. The more you care about something, the more you will be threatened."
Qin An naturally knew that if it weren't for his wife, he wouldn't care what these people did, and it would cost him his life.
He also deliberately lets people know that he cares about his wife.
If anyone touches her, he will let them die regardless of their own lives.
"I know."
The Master sighed and said, "Well, you won't understand my painstaking efforts when I say this now. I know the doctor in Fucheng. I will write to him now. After he is cured, he will go to the academy to study. Don't delay any more."
The doctor he knew was naturally not an ordinary doctor. Qin An knew clearly that even if he took his wife to Fucheng, he might not be able to find a good doctor.
He never liked to owe favors, so he nodded and said, "Okay."
On the way back, Qin An took a detour to buy the crispy duck that Su Yan liked to eat.
At this moment, Su Yan had woken up and was sitting in the main room preparing dishes. She didn't notice Qin An coming in. She only looked up when she saw the dark shadow when he walked in.
My eyes fell on his expression, but I couldn't see anything.
Then his eyes fell on the crispy duck in his hand, "Are you going to buy crispy duck?"
Qin An nodded, sat next to her, opened the paper bag, and handed the duck leg to her. Su Yan raised her hand to show him, indicating that her hand was a little dirty.
Qin An took out the cloth handkerchief from his arms and cleaned it for her, then gave her the duck legs.
Su Yan looked at him with slightly curved eyebrows. Look, with him like this, there's nothing else she wasn't satisfied with.
She handed it to his mouth and said, "Take a bite."
Qin An's eyebrows softened and he took a small bite. Su Yan looked at Cuilan and the others, pushed over and said, "You guys can eat too."
Zhang Xiu waved his hand and pointed in the direction of the door, indicating that he was going to pick up Erdan.
Cuilan wanted the couple to stay alone for a while and went out soon.
Looking at the man's profile, she reached out and held his hand, "Go study, I have nothing to do."
"Did Master tell you something?"
Qin An shook his head, stretched out his hand and squeezed her hand in response. He looked at her with distressed and guilty eyes. He felt uncomfortable and still had to worry about him.
"Daughter-in-law, stop worrying."
He spoke slowly, and Su Yan understood what he said and smiled: "It's really nothing, just listen with your ears, and you'll be fine in a few days."
"The Provincial Examination is coming soon, and you already struggle to study. If you delay it for a little longer, you won't be able to bear it."
She paused and said in a serious tone: "Solve it as soon as possible. Once it is settled, we will find a village and live a good life."
She made a lot of money in her previous life, but there was nothing but money. In this life, she just wants to live with Qin An and her children.
Furthermore, Qin An doesn't have any ambitions, he just wants to live his life.
Neither of them had lived a stable life for the past twenty years.
How hard it is to live to be in your twenties cannot be explained clearly in just one or two sentences.
It's just so difficult that the two of them just want to live a stable and simple life.
Thinking of this, she felt helpless and her life was difficult.
Qin An nodded after silence.
In the afternoon, Goudanfu rushed to see her. Knowing that she couldn't hear, she was really worried, but Su Yan comforted her with a smile on her face.
Goudanfu felt uncomfortable seeing her like this, and tears flowed down uncontrollably.
She, an outsider, feels tired just looking at her.
Seeing this, Su Yan quickly patted her on the back, "It's nothing, don't cry, she's still pregnant."
"I...I'm just tired for you." Goudanfu raised his hand to wipe the corners of his eyes, choking with sobs.
Although she couldn't hear what she was saying, Su Yan understood what she meant, "Sister, I'm fine."
"My wife has been running around for a long time, and now I'm going to see a doctor for my ears."
"You came to the county town just for me, why should I be tired?"
If something happens and no one cares about it, it would be tiring.
She is willing to be tired now.
After appeasing Goudan's mother, the two of them stayed together to do embroidery work. Su Yan took advantage of the free days to make Qin An's underwear.
Not long after, Qin An came back with a doctor. The doctor looked at Su Yan, but there was nothing he could do. Just like the previous doctor said, he could only keep it for a while.
Deafness is inherently unattractive.
While packing up the medicine box, the doctor said: "Deafness is difficult to cure. If you don't take care of it well, you may never be able to hear again in your life."
Qin An subconsciously looked at Su Yan, thinking in his heart, and he breathed a sigh of relief when he saw her looking at him with a smile.
He sent the doctor out, turned around and said to Goudan's mother: "Don't let her say that."
After saying that, he went to the kitchen to cook. When the fire started, he sat at the door of the stove and lost his mind. After a while, he raised his hand and wiped the corners of his eyes.
He stood up and took the loofah pulp to wash the pot.
…
The next day, Mrs. Song brought a doctor over. Su Yan was sleeping in the room. Qin An came into the room and called her, "Daughter-in-law."
"daughter in law."
Still no response.
The tip of his nose was slightly sour, and he calmed down for a while before walking over and patting her gently. The woman opened her eyes and looked at him, "Is it dark?"
I don’t know if it’s because I’m deaf and can’t hear anything, but I’ve been sleeping for a long time lately.
Qin An shook his head, fearing that she wouldn't understand, so he simply said two words, "Doctor."
She had already looked for seven or eight doctors in the past few days. Su Yan sat up and said, "Stop looking. I'll take care of you for a while."
She also knew in her heart that it was probably not easy to treat, otherwise she wouldn't have found so many doctors.
Naturally, she felt uncomfortable in her heart, but she couldn't show it, as Qin An would feel even more uncomfortable.
Qin An didn't say anything. He knelt down and helped her put on her shoes. After putting them on, he led her out.
Master Song looked at the woman in front of him, his eyes flashed with surprise, and he understood why Qin An had lost his mind and married a widow.
The doctor asked Su Yan to do it, then took out a bell, put it next to her ear and shook it gently a few times.
Seeing that she still didn't respond, the increased force and the harsh sound of the bell made the doctor frown.
He put it to the other ear again, and with a little more force, Su Yan could feel a slight sound, "A little bit."
The doctor took back the bell and said, "The deafness is caused by gravity. The left ear is better than the right ear."
"After taking the medicine for a month or two, the left ear may recover, but the right ear will not."
He paused and said, "I can't cure the right ear here."
"Furthermore, the medicine requires a hundred-year-old Ganoderma lucidum. After a month or two, it will cost at least a thousand taels of silver. It is not easy to find. You don't need a century-old Ganoderma lucidum. You can use ordinary Ganoderma lucidum, but you can't say exactly when it will cure the disease.
.”
"She can't afford to delay her condition, otherwise both ears will not be cured."
