Chapter 596: Epidemic broke out.
” What you are saying makes sense! Little Mai don’t worry, I will make sure to get better and play with you.” Her grey eyes lit up with hope as she pushed herself off the bed and then recovered her will to fight for her life, she allowed Yu Tong to help her drink the soup that was in the bowl.
Both Yu Tong and Yu Dong exchanged a look with each other and then grinned at each other when they saw that Grandma Yu was finally willing to recover.
For the next few days Grandma Yu was willing to work hard and she would allow Yu Dong to treat her. Soon she could move around in her room energetically, Yu Dong did not have any qualms while handing out medicines to grandma Yu either, after all, she was someone who did not lack money to use on medicine. Doctor Gu who was trapped in the neighbouring village soon returned as well and for the sake of Grandma Yu as if calling the doctor every day did not cost any money at all. Soon, grandma Yu recovered and she started to walk around the village with a rosy complexion, about three weeks later people could see Grandma Yu returning with Yu Dong who had to renovate her house once again to get rid of the fishy smell that filled up the entire house.
Yu Dong was carrying the luggage of the house while Chen Mi was supporting Fang Chi with his hand clutching the wrist of the pregnant mer. While little bun was tied to his front with a handmade baby carrier, Shen Li and Ye Liu too had their own things to carry while Xiao Hua and the other mers who were looking more delicate than ever because of the lack of sunlight in the past couple of weeks were the only ones who did not have anything to carry other than their own luggage.
” Grandma Yu, you seemed to have recovered quite well!” Recently the condition of the village was getting worse and worse. The villagers were having a hard time with everything that was going on, when they saw grandma Yu who was on the verge of dying with that grey and pale complexion of hers found something good to look at, with the flood that happened the town was in a flurry with prices of ration touching the sky. Many families who had farmland lost their crops because of the water that came like a tsunami and swept away everything in a huge wave.
Grandma Yu grinned until her face was shining with a pink glow, she nodded and then said with a smile, ” Of course I did, with Dong Dong and Ah Tong who is filial and would never let me go hungry, how can I not recover?”
She wanted to tell everyone that she was eating eggs and meat every day but grandma Yu did not dare to show off when she noticed the slightly emancipated looks of the villagers. They were looking as if they were starving themselves because of the lack of money and resources, if she told them that she was eating meat every day then she was afraid that she might start a fight with the villagers for food.
Village head Gu was able to receive a lot of compliments from the magistrate’s office after relaying the fact that she was able to save most of the villagers in her village when the other villages lost at most half of their villagers. The officials there told her that she will be receiving merit from the magistrate herself. After receiving help from Yu Dong, Village head Gu was no longer as upset with the Yu family as she was earlier. She was out on the round of the village to make sure that no one was caught in trouble after all she did not want to lose her merit.
Village head Gu smiled at Grandma Yu and nodded, ” Grandma Yu don’t worry about Yu Dong by your side, your days will only get more and more comfortable.”
” You are right,” Grandma Yu nodded. ” Both of my granddaughters are filial.”
When Yu Tong who was supposedly walking behind Grandma Yu to make sure that she did not fall because of the wetness on the ground heard her grandmother’s praise her face turned red in embarrassment. She was nowhere as filial as Yu Dong but her grandmother praised her nonetheless, she was different from his daddy who will take her entire wage and still act as if she was not doing enough.
The village head was going to say something to Yu Tong when someone from the village came running towards her, her face slack and filled with fear as she shouted, ” Village head, go and look at the daughter of the Sun family, she seemed to have fallen sick and the doctor cannot determine what’s wrong with her!”
The daughter of the Sun family was none other than Ah Cy, when the village head heard that Ah Cy was sick, her brows instinctively furrowed. This girl what was she doing?
When the villager came running Yu Dong who was walking at the back heard her as well, she paused as her eyes glinted with a sharp look in her eyes as she asked, ” Is Ah Cy very sick?”
” Yes, Yes! She is very sick ..not only does she not have a fever but she is vomiting all over the place, I am really scared of what is happening to her,” the villager answered and Yu Dong immediately understood what that sly woman caught, she then turned to look at village head Gu and asked in an unpleasant voice, ” Village head Gu did you not tell the villagers to throw away the dead animals?”
” Of course I did!” Village head Gu has seen how smart Yu Dong was and knew that if Yu Dong told her that she needed to throw the dead animals out of the village then she will have to throw them out no matter what! But just as she was feeling wrong, her eyes widened and then she looked at Yu Dong before shrieking, ” Are you saying that Sun Ah Cy ate dead animals?”
Yu Dong nodded and said, ” It seems that the village is going to face an epidemic soon.”
