Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
On the other side, Madam Zhang had just fallen asleep that night when she suddenly woke up from a nightmare. She dreamed that Wang Wulang was crying. He was gone, and only a floating soul was left. He said pitifully, “Mother, Mother, your son died outside!”
“Wulang!” Madam Zhang immediately sat up and swung her entire body. Then, she suddenly felt an itch in her throat and couldn’t help but retch.
She vomited on Wang Chuanyuan’s neck.
Wang Chuanyuan’s snoring stopped and he woke up.
“Husband, husband.” Madam Zhang wanted to lie in Wang Chuanyuan’s arms and cry. When she saw the filth on his body, she turned around in disdain and lay on the blanket to cry.
As she cried, she vomited again.
Wang Chuanyuan was originally holding his breath. Seeing that his wife was feeling so uncomfortable, he hurriedly got up and took off his dirty clothes before wiping her with a pillow cloth.
Then, he carried Madam Zhang to the soft blanket at the side and opened the cabinet to take out a new cotton blanket to cover Madam Zhang. He said, “Wait a moment. I’ll get Ying Qin to pour you some hot water. I wonder if the doctor is still working. I’ll go take a look.”
Ying Qin and Ying Zhong were both people Ah Yu had given to the couple to order around. Ying Qin used to be the kitchen maid of the Wang Estate, and Ying Zhong was her twin brother. Originally, they were concerned about being treated like donkeys in the countryside and losing their skills. However, the couple doesn’t like bossing people around, so they feel more at ease here than before.
Ying Qin was usually only in charge of the couple’s food. Moreover, she would follow Madam Zhang and wait for her to summon her.
At this moment, she heard the commotion in the other room and hurriedly put on her clothes. She saw Wang Chuanyuan running out barefoot.
“Master, what’s wrong?”
“Go into the room and take care of Madam. I’ll call the doctor. I’ll be back soon.” When Wang Chuanyuan saw Ying Qin come out, he stopped in his tracks and turned to the outside of the courtyard. He said, “Go to the kitchen first and see if there’s any hot soup. If not, hot water is fine too. Bring some over for Madam.”
“Ok, I understand,” Ying Qin replied and hurriedly called out, “Master, 1’11 get Ying Zhong to call a doctor. It’s already October. Madam will be worried if you go out like this.”
“It doesn’t matter.”
“Master, your shoes!”
Before she could finish her sentence, Wang Chuanyuan had already run away.
In Nanhe Town, there is no curfew, and during the night, households with the means usually hang at least two lanterns at their doorsteps. Occasionally, there are even a couple of night market stalls that stay open throughout the night on the streets.
As soon as Wang Chuanyuan walked to the entrance of the street, he saw two people sitting in front of the barbecue stall. He couldn’t care less and ran towards the doctor’s house.
Unfortunately, he visited two homes in a row, and both of them mentioned that the main doctor had gone to the village for consultations. There was only one doctor left, but he had contracted typhoid and was unwilling to open the door due to fear of contagion.
Wang Chuanyuan was so anxious that his mouth was about to blister. He did not even feel the cold under his feet.
“You’re the owner of the Wang Family Restaurant, right?” A friendly voice sounded.
Wang Chuanyuan turned around and saw a customer in front of the barbecue stall. He was dressed very elegantly.
“And you are?”
“I am Yang Qisheng. Today, 1 am honored to have the privilege of sitting in the elegant pavilion of Wang Family Restaurant, thanks to the graciousness of the host. Your restaurant’s decor is inviting, and the cuisine is abundant. I truly enjoyed my time here,” Yang Qisheng said, bowing respectfully.
Wang Chuanyuan hurriedly returned the greeting and only said, “Thank you, thank you.” Then, he ran again.
Yang Qisheng said, “Boss Wang, if I’m not wrong, you’re looking for a doctor, right? I’m not talented and have studied with a doctor for a few years. I can take a look at ordinary illnesses—”
Before he could finish speaking, Yang Qisheng’s arm was grabbed.
Wang Chuanyuan pulled him forward. “Doctor Yang, thank you!”
Yang Qisheng, who felt that his arm was about to dislocate:”…”
15 minutes later, Yang Qisheng walked out of the door where the smell had yet to completely dissipate. He rubbed his sore arms and turned to say to the nervous Wang Chuanyuan, “Sir, don’t worry. Madam is fine. It’s just due to the joyous news of being pregnant for over a month. Once she reaches the fourth month of her pregnancy, all these symptoms should subside as if they never happened.”
Wang Chuanyuan was dumbfounded. “Huh?”
That shouldn’t be the case. Every time… he drank the contraceptive soup in advance.. How could this still happen?
