Chapter 203 Even Cuter_1
Although a bit delicate, she was usually the most reasonable and never lost her temper for no reason. What on earth was happening today? It was just too abnormal, but given the sight of his young wife’s agitation, like a small animal on the brink of madness, Zhao Erhu decided not to provoke her further and left the room to come up with a solution.
After pondering alone and getting nowhere, Zhao Erhu inquired with his elder brother, sister-in-law, and Dalang, but failed to pinpoint any issue that might have upset Lin Yue. Since there wasn’t anything that seemed to make her unhappy, it must be that she was feeling unwell. At this point, Zhao Erhu couldn’t consider Lin Yue’s wishes; since she was reluctant and acting this way, taking her to the doctor in the city would certainly be met with resistance. Left with no choice, Zhao Erhu had to hitch the ox cart and go to the city to bring the doctor home.
"Sister-in-law, I entrust my wife to your care for a bit. She’s in the room, seeking peace and quiet, and doesn’t want to see anyone. Just keep an eye on her, and if there’s anything amiss, check on her. I’m off to the city to fetch the doctor," Zhao Erhu instructed Dalang and others.
"You guys also need to help your aunt take good care of your mother. She’s unwell, so don’t upset her, got it? But if she does get angry, try to comfort her, okay? She loves you and surely wouldn’t want to take her anger out on you."
"Erhu, don’t worry, it’s getting late, hurry into the city and bring the doctor back. Everything’s under control at home, I’ll take good care of your wife," Liu said, feeling anxious upon hearing that Lin Yue was ill.
In the days they helped out at Zhao Erhu’s home, Zhao Dahuo and his wife saw more and more to admire about their sister-in-law. Such a woman was not only virtuous and kind but also treated the children better than her own. She was courteous to friends and relatives worthy of connection, never mistreating them, and was capable to boot. Truly a rare find, it would be odd if Erhu didn’t cherish her. Any household would treasure such a daughter-in-law, unless they were blind and brainless.
When Zhao Erhu rushed into Xin’an City with the ox cart, it was already evening. Dr. Zheng was packing up his medicine chest ready to go home. Seeing Zhao Erhu in such a fervent hurry, Dr. Zheng didn’t hesitate or ask any questions and immediately set off to make a house call. Now he was uncertain if he could return before the city gates closed at nightfall.
If it had been anyone else without a serious situation, Dr. Zheng would have refused, but Zhao Erhu’s case was different. Moreover, the patient was Lin Yue, with whom he had a degree of acquaintance. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have recommended Divine Doctor Jiang to Lin Yue in the past. He respected this woman’s character and skills. Furthermore, when Divine Doctor Jiang left Xin’an City, he specifically instructed them to look out for Lin Yue and notify him if she faced any trouble, indicating his high regard for her. Therefore, for whatever reason, it was his unshakable duty to help.
However, upon arriving at Zhao Erhu’s home, Dr. Zheng went to take Lin Yue’s pulse but was informed by the patient herself that she was not sick at all. Dr. Zheng was somewhat confused; either he misunderstood, or Zhao Erhu had made a mistake. What was going on? But looking at Mistress Lin’s complexion, she seemed quite well, her face full and with a healthy blood color, clearly the work of Divine Doctor Jiang’s treatment, and she looked much healthier than before, not at all like someone who was ill.
