Huo Erhuai asked the doctor at the medical center and he said that if he stayed at the medical center, he would have to stay at least five days, and the medicine boy would make the medicine soup, so they didn't need to do anything.
If you want to go home, you can take the medicine and take care of it carefully. Then come back to see a doctor in five days and prescribe another medicine.
Huo Erzhun directly gave him five taels of silver and paid the previous arrears. He said he would stay at the medical center for treatment.
Seeing Madam Zhang peeking behind her, she said to the doctor: "If the money for the medicine is insufficient, let me know. If there is any left, no one else is allowed to take it away. I will pay the bill myself."
The doctor glanced at Mrs. Zhang and nodded: "Don't worry." After collecting the money, he ordered the medicine boy to get some medicine.
Seeing that there was no money to be made, Mrs. Zhang curled her lips and gave Wei He a sharp look. Wei He shivered in fright and hid behind Huo Erhuai.
Mrs. Zhang rolled her eyes and said to Huo Erhuai: "His second uncle, you see there are so many of us. If we live in the city, would you like to give us some money for accommodation and food?"
Huo Erhuai glared at her: "You can live here if you like. Why are you asking me for money? Leave Xiaoling in the hospital and someone will take care of her. What are you doing with so many people guarding her?"
"This, your biological sister, brother-in-law..." How can I not give you some money?
"If my brother-in-law cannot support his mother-in-law and children, I will take over my sister's family. She is still young and does not deserve to be hanged from a tree."
Mrs. Zhang gritted her teeth with hatred when she saw that Huo Erhuai was not getting enough food and salt.
Wei Qi ran over and thanked Huo Erhuai again and again: "I can feed them. I can feed them." He promised Huo Erhuai repeatedly, for fear that Huo Erhuai would really take Huo Wuniang and the others back to her parents' home.
.
When Mrs. Zhang saw that Huo Erhuai refused to pay any more money, she came up to pull Wei Qi away: "Go home, go home. You are not allowed to eat or drink here! Or are you going to sleep on the street?"
Wei Qi didn't want to leave, but he was short of money and hesitated.
Huo Wuniang came over and said, "His father, you can take Xiao He to his house. I'll stay here and watch over Xiao Ling. He'll be scared if he wakes up at night and doesn't see me."
Wei He grabbed Huo Erhuai's sleeve tightly and shook his head at Huo Wuniang: "Mom, I won't go back!"
I was trembling with fear. My mother was not here. What if grandma sold her again?
Seeing that the child was shaking with fear, Huo Erhuai sighed and said to Wei Qi: "Let Xiao He stay in the city and help her mother."
Mrs. Zhang scolded him, "What are you going to do if you stay in the city? Go to the streets to beg for food or sleep in the streets?" When they came up, they searched Wei Qi's body, fearing that Wei Qi had hidden the coins.
Huo Erhuai looked disapproving and pushed Wei Qi away: "Go away from the commotion outside. Don't disturb the tranquility of the medical center."
Seeing that Huo Wuniang also asked him to go home, Wei Qi turned around and followed Mrs. Zhang in three steps.
Huo Xi held Huo Nian's hand at the door of the hospital. When she saw Mrs. Zhang leaving, she walked in with Huo Nian.
"father."
Huo Nian pounced on Huo Erhuai. Wei He quickly let go of his second uncle's hand, and Huo Nian turned to look at her.
Seeing Wu Niang and Xiao He both stunned, Huo Erhuai told them about the two children beside him: "This is Xi'er and this is Nian'er."
"Hello, fifth aunt." Huo Xi said hello to Huo Wuniang. Huo Nian looked at her sister and also called out: "Hello, fifth aunt."
Huo Wuniang responded blankly, looking at the two children with curiosity, and glanced at her second brother from time to time: "Here, these are the two children of the second brother?"
"Yes. A few years ago, I was afraid that they wouldn't be able to feed them, so I didn't bring them home." Huo Erhuai said with a smile. Seeing Huo Nian looking up at him, he quickly covered Huo Nian's eyes with his big palm.
Huo Nian understood immediately. This was something he and his sister often played. When his sister lied to him, she would cover his eyes.
Then she nodded to Huo Wuniang with a serious face: "It's cold in the river. It's very cold in winter. But my sister and I are in good health now."
This sentence made Huo Wuniang feel distressed and fond of him at the same time. She pulled him in front of her and looked at him carefully: "He looks so good." The second brother can be considered a father.
Huo Xi touched her nose and went in to take a look at Wei Ling. Seeing that the child looked sick and weak, she felt a little sympathetic. When she came out and saw Wei He looking cowering, she felt weak.
"Have you eaten, Fifth Aunt? If you want something to eat, I'll buy it for you."
Huo Wuniang's eyes moved to Huo Xi. She didn't know why she was dressing up as a boy. She just refused and said she wasn't hungry. But unfortunately, as soon as she heard about eating, Wei He's stomach started to growl like a conditioned reflex.
.
She was still very shy, her face was red and she lowered her head so low that she couldn't even see her eyes.
Huo Erhuai felt a little distressed and stretched out his hand to pull her: "Let's go, uncle will take you to eat."
"Where's mother?"
Huo Xi heard her speak and glanced at her, feeling a little happy for Huo Wuniang. This was a child who was willing to take care of her parents and was not tainted by Mrs. Zhang's bad luck.
"He'er, you go and eat with your second uncle and cousin. Mom wants to watch your brother here."
"Let's go, I'll bring back a meal for your mother later."
Wei He then moved out with them.
A few people found a noodle and wonton stall near the medical center and sat down.
The first time Wei He went to the city, he was dragged by his grandmother to sell his teeth to others in exchange for money to treat his brother's illness. He was hungry all the way. At this time, he was brought to a food stall by his second uncle. He smelled the aroma of noodles that wafted out from time to time and swallowed hard.
Drooling.
Until a big bowl of noodles with meat and eggs was placed in front of me, I still had no sense of reality and was at a loss as to where to start.
"Eat." Huo Erhuai felt a little uncomfortable seeing his child like this.
Seeing that she didn't move her chopsticks, Huo Nian straightened her body and said, "Eat, cousin, you can eat with confidence. My father has money to pay for it. If it's not enough for a while, you can add another bowl, right?"
"You can add as many bowls as you want, as long as you can eat them." Huo Erhuai smiled and stroked his head.
When Wei He saw that his second uncle and cousins all had noodles in front of them, he picked up his chopsticks and ate the noodles.
Fragrant, really fragrant, so delicious! She has never eaten such delicious noodles. Wei He ate without raising his head.
Huo Nian was so excited that he also started chatting. As expected, the children competed with each other when eating. Look, the little boy is no longer picky about food, and he eats deliciously.
Wei He picked up the soup in the soup bowl and drank it all, and burped hard. Huo Nian also wanted to imitate, but he was too full and was a little stuffed. There was still half of the noodle bowl, which was bitter.
With a face: "Dad, Nian'er can't eat any more."
Huo Erhuai wiped his mouth and said, "Okay, don't eat if you can't eat. If you eat too much, you should have a stomachache."
After wiping his mouth, I touched his belly again, and was relieved to see that he was no longer full. Then he poured all the leftover noodles that Huo Nian had eaten into his own bowl, and started eating with a loud voice.
Wei He looked at her with envy. His second uncle was so kind to his cousin. His father was also kind to her and her brother, but he never wiped their mouths like his second uncle.
Huo Xi turned to look at her and smiled.
After bringing Huo Wuniang some noodles and some pies, they returned to the hospital.
"Xiao He, come back to the ship with me. There's no room for anyone in this hospital. How can Xiao He bear it if you can still make do with it?" Huo Erhuai suggested to Huo Wuniang.
Seeing that Xiao He had no objection, Huo Wuniang nodded in agreement.
Before leaving, Huo Erhuai stuffed her with some copper plates and two taels of broken silver: "Keep it for yourself, don't take everything out. Let's see what Xiaoling has done for you."
Huo Wuniang took the purse and cried. She borrowed money from everyone she knew, but few people lent money. Only her second brother, who was the son-in-law, took pity on her.
