However, to completely cure him, we need a different medicine that I don’t have in my space. I need to visit a pharmacy and then grow it in my space. Madam Rong watched her daughter take the old man’s pulse with some nervousness. After last night, she subconsciously... had come to believe in her daughter’s medical skills. As soon as her daughter finished, she hurriedly asked, “How is it?” “I’m going out for a while now, I can prepare the medicine in the afternoon.” Rong Yan planned to visit the pharmacy. Seeing the expression on her daughter’s face wasn’t grave... Madam Rong pondered secretly, perhaps, it was still alright? She dared not ask further, fearing she couldn’t accept the answer. She had given up hope before. Although her heart was in agony, she had no choice but to accept it. What else could she do? But now it was different. This sudden glimmer of hope... followed by disappointment, she couldn’t endure that kind of deep pain again. Of course, she couldn’t share these feelings with her daughter. “Then go! Oh, wait, let me get you some money...” She said as she went to find money in the wooden chest. But Rong Yan stopped her, “No need to get it, I have money...” “How much could you have? Stop it, use the family’s.” Madam Rong rummaged through the box, pulling out a handkerchief bundle. After opening it, she counted out a stack. Rong Yan estimated it, surprised to find it was over a hundred. “Mom, I didn’t expect our family was this wealthy!” “Wealthy? This is the two hundred yuan earned from selling labor. Apart from the amount spent on your father’s treatment, the rest was meant for you...” The couple had saved no money. She was unemployed, and her husband had initially thought about trading his job for a better one, then planned to transfer their daughter back. But things hadn’t gone as planned. Out of necessity, she had to sell his job first. “Hurry up and take it, no more talking.” She forcefully stuffed the money into Rong Yan’s hands. “Alright then!” Rong Yan didn’t want to push back and forth. With her around, she wouldn’t let the family lack money, nor would she let them fall into extremity — to the point of not affording food. Madam Rong was happy to see her take the money. “Go ahead with your work, oh, do you have any clothes that need washing? Bring them here, I’ll wash them for you.” “About that... I already washed them last night when I took a bath.” In reality, she had washed them in the villa in her space. The villa had electricity, and she just used the washing machine, right? Madam Rong felt inexplicably saddened upon hearing this, “After two years in the countryside, she has finally grown up.” She never did these chores at home before. Rong Yan: ... She didn’t know how to respond to that. “I’m leaving.” She quickly walked outside. Madam Rong dismissed her sadness, “Indeed, the best training for a person is to go to the countryside. Look, your daughter has grown up a lot and has become sensible.” Mr. Rong replied weakly, “My daughter has always been sensible.” What was wrong with his daughter? Just because she was pretty, did it mean she couldn’t be pampered? It was just unfortunate that she had been schemed into going to the countryside; otherwise, she would have grown up beside them, her parents. Madam Rong almost rolled her eyes. Whether her daughter had been sensible before... did he have any clue? But, she didn’t want to argue with him. After all, it might just upset him. Never mind waiting until the afternoon. “I will go check on Yu, he said he wanted to come and visit you... maybe later though, it seems talking wears you out right now.” Although Mr. Rong wanted to see people, he truly didn’t have the strength at the moment. “Okay.” “By the way, do you want something to eat? I made some congee.” Mr. Rong still had no appetite at all, “No.” Madam Rong let out a barely perceptible sigh when she heard that word and had to walk out. When she went out, the slightly gloomy expression on her face disappeared. “Yu, have you finished eating? Do you want to go out for a walk?” Qin Yu shook his head, “No need, I’m fine at home. Auntie, let me chop some more wood for you!” “Oh, chop wood for what... I’ll get you some storybooks your sister-in-law used to read. Just sit here and read them...” Qin Yu: ... Let him read books? He’d rather chop wood! Reading made his head spin, but chopping wood, that was his strong suit. “Auntie, I’d rather read the books later at night! I like chopping wood...” “Who likes to chop wood? Just read the books, or you can play by yourself.” Madam Rong liked this young boy’s sense of responsibility, but it was also too heartbreaking. Qin Yu: ... He was telling the truth. It wasn’t long before Madam Rong found several books from somewhere. Qin Yu: ... Sister-in-law, please come back, I can still help you carry things. Madam Rong was very enthusiastic, “Come on, these comic books are pretty good. Your sister-in-law really loved to read them when she was young...” Even though Qin Yu was visibly reluctant, he could only nod obediently at that moment. Then he picked up a book... and the agony began... To avoid disturbing him, Madam Rong made her footsteps much lighter. However, their peace did not last long. For outside, there came cursing-like voices and even the door was knocked loudly. “Open the door...” “Sister-in-law, open the door... Mom has come to see big brother...” Upon hearing this noise, Madam Rong’s whole disposition worsened. Sitting on the stool, Qin Yu naturally heard it too—this tone was too familiar to him. Back home, that family always used this tone when they visited. So, he stopped reading and ran out to Madam Rong’s side in the courtyard. “Auntie...” Are we going to fight? He could handle it. Madam Rong glanced at him, “Yu, go back inside, I’ll check what’s going on.” The noise at the door was too loud; if she didn’t open it soon, it would probably enrage her husband further. Understanding the situation, Qin Yu nodded and quickly ran back into the house, but he lingered at the door frame, peeking out, ready to rush out to help if things turned sour. He couldn’t let his kind aunt be mistreated. Madam Rong opened the door with a dark expression, and before she could speak, the three people at the door barged past her and came in. “I heard Rong Yan has come back, where is she? How come she didn’t visit her own grandmother?” Grandma Rong scanned around, not seeing her. She was displeased. Madam Rong suppressed her anger, “She went to buy medicine for her dad.” “Sister-in-law, what medicine did she buy? My big brother... I’m not cursing him, but the doctors said there’s no hope left. If she has that spare money, it would be better to...” Madam Rong stared intensely at Rong Zhen, “Better to what?” Rong Zhen was intimidated by her gaze, knowing well if she finished saying ‘better to give the money to her’, her sister-in-law would probably slap her right away. So she quickly changed her statement, “I mean, with that spare money, it’s better for you to keep it. After all, if my big brother passes away, you and your daughter will need the money...” The next second, her face met Madam Rong’s slap.
