When Jiaoniang went back home to find her mother suffering a stroke, she immediately asked for the whole story. Because she had been working hard for so many years, she was in low spirits and had suffered a stroke overnight. In the end, he decided to sell his family's property and move to Lin Family Village.

Ye Xuan carried Jiaoniang and went to Wang Tun. Wang Tun lived in over a hundred families, which was much bigger than Lin Family Village. Jiaoniang covered her face with clothes. Some peasants who worked in the fields thought that it was some kind of wife who was hurt, so they didn't think too much about it.

When they reached home, Jiaoniang knocked on the door. The courtyard was silent. Not long later, a middle-aged woman opened her mouth and stuck her head out. She looked suspiciously at Ye Xuan. "Who are you looking for?"

"I'm looking for my mother, Wang Meihua. Where's my mother?" When the woman saw Jiaoniang slapping her thigh, she quickly opened the door and let them in, "Oh, Jiaoniang! You're finally here! You don't know what kind of suffering your mother has suffered these past few days! "

She led Jiaoniang into the house. The small courtyard was dilapidated, with piles of firewood and overgrown weeds. After entering the room, he opened the curtain and saw Wang Meihua lying on the bed with her eyes and mouth crooked. Tieh Dan was sleeping soundly on the other bed.

When Wang Meihua heard the commotion, she opened one eye and saw Jiaoniang. She was gasping for breath, and a hand reached out towards her, tears streaming down her face.

"What happened to my mother?" Jiaoniang took her hand and asked the woman.

The woman, who was Jiaoniang's aunt according to seniority, sighed when she asked, "You don't know, your mother went to wash the clothes in the main house after she came back from your place. In the end, after a few days, the laundry was taken over. "In the past few days, she had been busy farming, so when she went to work in the fields, she unknowingly fainted. When she came to the town and asked if it was a stroke, she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to work in the fields anymore." She cried out loud: "I don't know what the heavens are thinking about you guys, Tieh Dan is only six years old and you're a widow, and now your mother is like this. I feel bad just thinking about it, I just sent you a message yesterday, I didn't expect you to come today."

She cried for real, and Jiaoniang's eyes also began to ache. She quickly consoled her, "Aunt, don't cry anymore. Life will always go on, and it's good that you're still alive."

"Ai, isn't that the truth? You haven't eaten yet, have you? "I'll go to the kitchen and do something. Your aunt and I have been taking turns taking care of the two of them for the past few days. I've finally got you here." With that, she opened the curtain and went into the kitchen, while Ye Xuan stayed in the yard to avoid any suspicions.

Holding her mother's rough hands, Jiaoniang couldn't help but feel sore. Wang Meihua was only forty years old, how could she have suffered a stroke? Seeing her crying, Wang Meihua let out a whining sound. She looked towards Tieh Dan with pleading eyes and then looked towards Jiaoniang, as if asking her to take care of her brother.

Putting her tousled hair behind her ears, Jiaoniang consoled her in a low voice, saying how much money she could make right now. Even if her mother didn't have to do any work, she could still support her little brother.

In the past few days, Jiaoniang's wife had taken all the silver from her family to see a doctor. That was the money she had saved up for a few years to let Tieh Dan go to school. If it wasn't for the fact that she couldn't move, she would have tried to find fault with herself. But now that her daughter had arrived, it was as if she had found her pillar of support. She felt much more at ease.

After coaxing Wang Meihua to sleep, Jiaoniang turned over a piece of clothing on the wall and reluctantly changed into it. She took Ye Xuan's coat and went out. He was sitting under a pear tree in the courtyard, cutting wood with a knife.

Jiaoniang bit her lips. She didn't know why Ye Xuan would look for her yesterday …

It wouldn't be too much to say that Ye Xuan saved her life. However, with the current situation, no matter how grateful she was, she had to let it go.

Jiaoniang stood there. When Ye Xuan saw the car, he came over and looked at Jiaoniang disapprovingly, saying, "It's inconvenient for your legs and legs. Just call me if you need anything." Why did you have to come out yourself? If you were to fall again, would you not want your legs anymore? "

Jiaoniang smiled sweetly. The sunlight shone brightly on her body. Ye Xuan turned his head and handed the cane to her, "Try it." If it's not suitable, I'll change it again. "

Jiaoniang took two steps away, she didn't expect Ye Xuan to make a walking stick in such a short time. She was walking around the yard on crutches, and Ye Xuan was watching on the side, holding out his hands to keep her from falling.

When Aunt Gen came out from cooking to see what had happened, she was stunned. Hadn't Jiaoniang's husband passed away?

"Um, Jiaoniang, have some breakfast!" I'll go wake Tieh Dan up. "

Jiaoniang however, called out to her before using her walking stick to rush into the house. "I'll go get him. You guys eat first."

Aunt Yuan wiped her hands and asked Ye Xuan in a low voice, "What happened to Jiaoniang's leg?"

"It broke." Ye Xuan rolled up a biscuit and held it in his hand. Aunt Gen wanted to ask something else, but Ye Xuan pushed open the door and left.

She was confused and didn't know what the relationship between the two of them was.

Jiaoniang sat beside Tieh Dan's bed and called out to him softly. The child was sleeping soundly, with her mouth pouting as she turned over and over. Her small face was about the same as Jiaoniang's.

Tieh Dan opened his eyes and looked at his sister, who was thinking about him day and night. He exclaimed in surprise, "Sister!" Not even a second had passed before he thought of his mother's illness. His small face drooped with tears. "She's sick!"

Jiaoniang carried him in her arms. He was probably frightened by what had happened these past few days. After a few words of coaxing, Tieh Dan stopped crying and hid in her arms while sniffing.

She dragged Tieh Dan out to eat. Aunt Yuan kept nagging, saying that there was still farm work at home, so Jiaoniang told her to go there first and take care of the house herself.

After getting Tieh Dan to wash his face and brush his teeth, Jiaoniang served Wang Meihua with food. Half of her face was crooked, and most of the food had landed in her mouth. In her previous life, Jiaoniang's father had suffered a stroke, so he just lay in the hospital for a few days before he left. He patiently fed Wang Meihua as he talked about how she sold tofu. Wang Meihua kept looking at him with a smile in her eyes, as if she was praising his ability.

Tieh Dan also ran in after eating half of it. He leaned on Wang Meihua's feet and tilted his head to look at his sister talking to his mother. Little Yuan also knew that since his sister was here, he didn't have to be afraid of anything.

When it was noon, Ye Xuan came back with the doctor. Jiaoniang brought two taels of silver with her this time, but she didn't lose it. In the morning, she told Ye Xuan to go to the town and invite the doctor over so she could know the condition of her mother's illness.

The coach surnamed Xu followed Ye Xuan and ran a few miles away. After a while, he shook his head and let Jiaoniang pull back the blanket. He pressed his hand on Wang Meihua's right leg and asked, "Can you feel it?"

Wang Meihua shook her head and asked a few more questions about the situation. She had a general idea of the situation, so she said to Ye Xuan, "The madame's condition is not very good, it should be due to overwork and depression. If you want to treat her, you need to take medicine every day, and go to the town every half month to perform acupuncture and open your meridians for a long time so that you can get out of bed again."

Hearing that she had a cure, Jiaoniang was overjoyed. "If there's a cure, that's good. If you need any medicine, we'll buy it. We'll do acupuncture in the town for the next half a month. Sorry to trouble you!"

"This …" Xu Lang looked at Wang Meihua, then turned around with a troubled expression. "This medicine is not cheap …"

As soon as he entered the room, he saw what was going on. This couple seemed to be old and young, and his wife still had legs.

Hearing his words, Wang Meihua's eyes dimmed. Seeing this, Jiaoniang interrupted him and said, "You only need to treat the illness, we can afford to pay for it."

Leaving Tieh Dan's room to look at his mother, Jiaoniang brought her husband to the courtyard and showed him her legs.

Jiaoniang's leg is broken, orthopedic apply medicine can be good, before the injury does not touch water, will not leave the root of the disease.

Originally, he wanted to keep the doctor at home to eat, but he couldn't get the pot boiling at home. He could only get Ye Xuan to send the doctor back and then buy medicine.

That medicine was indeed expensive. It cost two hundred gold coins per dose, and Jiaoniang only had enough money for her mother to drink for a month.

Looks like I have to make money quickly. Jiaoniang sighed and touched Tieh Dan, who was hugging her and refused to let go. Life was really difficult.
