CHAPTER 130: CHAPTER 129: CAN’T DIE

Grandpa Sun asked in shock, "So, are you saying your mother... is not going to make it?"

Sun shi nodded with difficulty, "The doctor said her oil is exhausted and her lamp is out, it’s hard for the ashes to reignite, she only has a few days left."

Grandpa Sun sighed, "You’ve finally come into some money, your father left early and couldn’t enjoy it, and now your mother seems to have such thin fortune too."

After hearing Sun shi’s words, Yu Xiaolian frowned and ran into the room.

Inside the room, Grandma Sun was gasping for air, each breath seemed to require all her strength.

Yu Xiaolian placed her hand on Grandma Sun’s pulse, her frown deepening as she felt it.

At this time, her grandma’s pulse was like boiling water in a pot, uncountable, not following the rhythm of breathing, out but not in, extremely fast and chaotic.

Forensic medicine primarily studies fundamental knowledge and skills in basic medicine, clinical medicine, law, and forensic science.

So, she still understood some basic pulse reading, but matching treatment with symptoms was something she had long returned to her teacher.

Luckily, she herself was a universal magical medicine. Yu Xiaolian asked Yu Changhe to close the door and keep watch for her.

She took out a small spoon from the space, bit her finger, and dripped a spoonful of blood.

At this time, Grandma Sun was only having trouble breathing but was still conscious, aware that Yu Xiaolian fed her a spoonful of something.

"Lian’er... what are you feeding me?"

Grandma Sun savored it and found what Yu Xiaolian fed her was slightly sweet with a hint of fishiness.

Facing Grandma Sun’s question, Yu Xiaolian had no choice but to tell a white lie, saying she fed her a tonic bought in Yangcheng, to nourish her body.

After all, her grandma was lying on the kang and couldn’t see anything, whatever she said it was.

Yu Xiaolian washed the spoon again and fed Grandma Sun a few spoonfuls of water, rinsing her mouth.

When Sun shi and the others entered the room, Grandma Sun’s chest, which rose and fell sharply, had already stabilized a lot, and breathing was easier.

Sun shi took out the medicine prescribed by the doctor in town and asked Yu Changhe to quickly decoct it. Although the doctor said nine chances out of ten it’s hopeless, as long as there’s a sliver of hope, she wanted her mother to live.

Usually, whatever Sun shi said, Yu Changhe complied, especially at a time like this?

Yu Changhe took the package of medicine and headed to the kitchen, Grandpa Sun hurriedly said, "What do big men know about decocting medicine?"

Turning his head, he shouted loudly into the yard, "Daji’s wife, quickly take over the task of decocting the medicine."

"Alright!" Sun Daji’s wife responded readily, turned around, and grabbed the medicine from Yu Changhe’s hand.

Sun Fengshou knelt on the ground, holding Grandma Sun’s hand with both hands, crying like a child.

"Mother, it’s all my fault, for marrying a wife like this, it’s all my fault..."

Grandma Sun felt that since Yu Xiaolian fed her the ’tonic’, she didn’t have to breathe as heavily, didn’t need to open her mouth so wide to breathe, and her chest wasn’t as stuffy. Seeing her son cry so heartbreakingly, tears streaming, Grandma Sun took a long breath and comforted him with a few words.

"I’m not dead yet, stop crying! I know my own illness, I feel that the town’s doctor is not correct, I’m not going to die, rest assured!"

Upon hearing this, Sun Fengshou wiped away his tears, "Mother, you must be alright!"

After resting for a while, Grandma Sun said, "Ever since Huichun Hall in town closed, this Doctor He has just been getting by. If Doctor Zheng were still there, who would go to his place for a consultation?

Everyone says Doctor He’s skills are not as good as Doctor Zheng’s, I think so too.

Saying I’m in my death throes, hmph, wait till I’m feeling better in a few days, I’ll visit his clinic and walk in front of him, let him see if I’m dead!"

As Grandma Sun spoke, her words flowed more smoothly, her breathing was easier, and her voice was louder, she didn’t notice, but the people around her did.

The faces of everyone present lit up with smiles, agreeing with Grandma Sun, letting her continue.

Grandma Sun spoke many more words, asking Sun shi when the baby was due, if she knew whether it was a boy or a girl.

Upon learning that Sun shi was expecting twins, she said she could help take care of the children in the future.

Sun shi and Sun Fengshou exchanged glances and smiled happily.

Grandma Sun said, "I’m hungry, I want to eat some noodles, made with white flour."

Sun shi readily agreed and turned to the kitchen.

She planned to make a bowl of white flour noodles for her mother personally.

Yu Changhe moved things from the cart inside, Sun shi took the white flour and pork loin, planning to make a bowl of shredded pork noodles for her mother.

Yu Xiaolian ran over to help Sun shi stoke the fire, but was chased out by Sun Erji’s wife, "I’ll assist here, you don’t need to be here, go play!"

Sun shi was happy to knead the dough while chatting with Sun Erji’s wife, seeing this, Yu Xiaolian dug out a few packs of biscuits and candies from the cart, handed them to Little Tiger, and asked him to distribute them to the surrounding children who hadn’t dispersed yet.

At first, Little Tiger was reluctant to share such good things, but only after Yu Xiaolian said that thanks to the villagers’ help today, they didn’t suffer a loss, should he not be so stingy.

Yu Xiaolian bent slightly, kindly said to Little Tiger, "Sister brought a lot of these biscuits and candies, yours have already been set aside, go distribute them!"

Upon hearing that his portion was set aside, Little Tiger then happily went to distribute the treats to the village children.

Little Tiger didn’t give them to just anyone, he first gave them to the Sun family’s children, starting with Grandpa Sun’s grandsons and granddaughters.

He gave each child a biscuit and a piece of fruit candy.

After finishing distributing to Grandpa Sun’s household, he then gave them to those in the Fourth Grandpa’s household. Once he finished with the Sun family children, he gave each remaining child who hadn’t left a piece of fruit candy.

Some children, having eaten a piece of candy, quickly chewed it and swallowed, then came back to Little Tiger asking for more.

"I already gave you one just now, each person can only have one!"

Even though there was a crowd of children around Little Tiger, he still remembered clearly who had and who hadn’t received one.

The child who wanted a second piece after eating the first was Liu Dazhuang, he angrily glared at Little Tiger, "This candy isn’t yours, it’s your aunt and sister’s, I saw it."

"If it’s my sister’s, it’s mine!" Little Tiger put the remaining candy into his pocket, not planning to share any more.

Liu Dazhuang had never tasted such sweet candy before, colorful too, seeing Little Tiger hide it away, he immediately reached out to pull at Little Tiger’s pocket.

Grandpa Sun and Fourth Grandpa’s grandchildren, who had been sticking with Little Tiger, saw someone bullying him and ganged up, pinning Liu Dazhuang to the ground and giving him a beating.

Liu Dazhuang wasn’t strong despite his name (Big Strong), resembling a scrawny monkey instead, not likely to win even one-on-one usually, let alone now with a group of Sun family kids on him, Liu Dazhuang had no power to resist, wailing and screaming as he got beaten.

In the end, it was Little Tiger’s shrill voice that stopped them, telling them not to hit anymore, only then did the kids hitting the hardest let go.

Little Tiger took out two candies from his pocket and handed them to Liu Dazhuang, "Don’t say it was my brothers who hit you, just say you fell yourself."

Liu Dazhuang cried, "Two aren’t enough, need three, otherwise I’ll tell my mother."
