Chapter 584: Going to the Thatched Hut (9)_1
The old Yang Family house had finally quieted down, but a sour, stinky odor permeated every corner of the yard and rooms, deterring the onlookers from getting too close.
Yang Peili and his wife had suffered a lighter poisoning and were treated by Li Yi, so they were already awake. However, being of an advanced age, this ordeal had taken its toll on their vitality, leaving them without an ounce of strength, confined to lying on the heated brick bed.
Yang Anshi wanted to curse someone but lacked the energy. She could only clasp a small broom used for sweeping the bed and kept hitting the bedstead with it, startling up dust whenever it struck the bed mat. She wanted to go to the outhouse, but she was too weak to get up or even shout for help.
After Li Yi had treated them, Yang Baixiang had taken care of everything. Although he couldn’t eliminate the stench, at least he cleaned up the filthy mess and provided them with water. But now, with Baixiang off to town, only Yang Baihe and Yang Rusong were left. Both of them dared not come closer; when the vomiting was induced, their clothes and blankets were soiled, and Baixiang hadn’t had the chance to change them...
Yang Anshi was so furious she wanted to scream, but the voice that came out was feeble: "Outhouse..."
Yang Baihe nudged Yang Rusong: "Go."
Yang Rusong’s face was somewhat unnatural: "Sister, grandma is a woman, and she needs to go to the outhouse. You should be taking care of her."
"I..."
"Sister, grandpa and grandma always loved you the most. Besides, there is the matter of propriety between men and women; I, a grandson, simply cannot step forward," Rusong said frankly.
"Doesn’t grandma love you too?" Baihe didn’t want to go, but couldn’t say no.
"Grandma is female, I’m male."
Baihe was helpless, regretting coming home today; she could only pinch her nose and use one hand to support Yang Anshi.
