"I'm going to ask the village chief how many empty houses there are in this village. If it doesn't work, I'll have to force you to live in the carriage." Lian Guanlang continued, and then asked the village chief's wife, "Sister-in-law
, do you know where there are unoccupied houses in your village?"
"There are several houses, but I don't know if you dare to live in them. The people in those houses have all died of the plague." said the village chief's wife.
When they heard that they died of the plague, everyone immediately shook their heads. No one dared to live in it. Everyone had no choice but to come to the Plague Village to find Lu Ziyuan, but they were unwilling to do so. Although Lu Ziyuan, the doctor, was there, no one could be sure.
Did he also contract the plague? Moreover, I have never heard of anyone saying that he was cured of the plague.
In the end, everyone just placed Li Caidi and Li Qin in an unoccupied house, and their maids took care of the rest of them. They all lived in a carriage or in a shady open space.
The villagers in the village knew that Lu Ziyuan's mother and brother were there, and many villagers spontaneously and kindly invited the two people to live in their homes.
"Madam, I think we all really want to repay you. Your brother is young and your mother is old. It's not okay to live in a carriage all the time. It will be tiring to rest with your feet curled up all day. Please advise.
Mom asked her and your brother to live with that aunt, as well as your second aunt and cousin. They are both so big. If they don't sleep well at night, it will affect the child in the belly. I don't think who should let her live with her?
My aunt can free up another room." The village chief's wife said as she thought about which family could still free up a room.
"I have it. I can just let my brother sleep with me and his father at night. This will free up my brother's room." There was no need for the village chief's wife to think, someone took the initiative to make arrangements.
"Then thank you, fellow villagers." Lu Ziyuan thanked her sincerely. We all met by chance, but the villagers thought of her so much.
"Mrs. Lian, if I want to say thank you, the entire village wants to thank you. If it weren't for you, perhaps our entire village would have been burned down by the county magistrate. How could we have survived until now?" Lu Ziwan thanked you.
It makes the simple aunts very embarrassed.
Lian Guanlang smiled at Lu Ziwan and waved to Lu Banxia. Now He Chunmei was so angry that she refused to talk to the two of them. But Lu Banxia was still a child and had been separated from her sister and brother-in-law for so many days. Not to mention thinking too much, seeing Lian Banxia
Guan Lang was calling him, and He Chunmei jumped out of the carriage and rushed towards Guan Lang before she could stop him.
"Brother-in-law, sister, I miss you so much." Lu Banxia was short, and as soon as he reached out, he hugged Lian Guanlang's thigh and acted coquettishly.
"Banxia, come here." Lian Guanlang picked up Lu Banxia and whispered a few words in his ear. When Lu Banxia nodded and grinned, he laughed and said "Hey" in a clear voice.
"What did you say to Banxia that made him so happy?" Lu Ziyuan asked curiously.
Lian Guanlang smiled and said nothing, then shook his head and pointed to the carriage for Lu Ziwan to see.
"Mom~ I've been riding in a carriage for a long time. I don't want to sleep in the carriage at night anymore. It's very stuffy in the carriage and not as comfortable as sleeping on the kang bed in the house." Lu Banxia pulled the corner of He Chunmei's clothes and said, "Mom
, there is a house anyway, so I will sleep in the house at night, but I don’t dare to sleep alone, mother, you have to accompany me!”
"Qinghui, Qingdai, you and your second uncle will accompany your second aunt, Sister Lan and your aunt's house to settle down, and help spread the bedding and straw mats and tidy them up." Lu Ziyuan patted the two sisters on the shoulders and said, "This
It's very hot in the afternoon, so let them rest first."
"I understand, madam." Qingdai responded, and then she and her sister led Ge Rui and Lu Lan, and followed her aunt and Lu Donglin to the back.
On the carriage, Lu Banxia kept acting coquettishly until He Chunmei couldn't resist and nodded repeatedly, then she clapped her hands excitedly.
Lian Guanlang gave a thumbs up to Lu Banxia who opened the curtains. Lu Ziyuan raised her lips with a half-smile, stepped forward, and whispered to Lian Guanlang, "Are you teaching Banxia to always be with your mother?"
