Chapter 208 - 207: Bad News Travels Fast
Song Yueqin was no better off, originally staying at home and sleeping would have been so much better, but due to this commotion, she also lay down, each occupying one side of the k’ang, both running a high fever waiting for the doctor to come and see them.
Song Jincai was infuriated by the mother-daughter duo, but he couldn’t just watch them fall ill; after making sure the two were settled, he went to call the village doctor.
The village doctor hadn’t even gone to the clinic yet, so he didn’t wait and went to their door early in the morning, just past six o’clock.
Dr. Liu put on his clothes and came out, and upon seeing it was Song Jincai, he was sweating profusely, his face flushed red and spoke in a rush as if afraid that speaking too slowly would have someone steal his words, "Dr. Liu, come with me quickly, both people in our family are sick! They’re running a fever, over forty degrees."
"Oh dear, that’s dangerous." Dr. Liu didn’t even bother to wash his face; he just grabbed his medicine box and followed Song Jincai to his house.
Upon entering the courtyard, he saw manure slurry all over the ground, "What happened here?"
"Nothing, nothing." Family disgrace is not to be spread abroad, so naturally, Song Jincai was unwilling to tell.
Dr. Liu followed Song Jincai into the room, saw clothes soaking in a big basin, and caught a whiff of a foul smell, his face showing a confused look.
