Eldest Sister, Why Haven't You Married Yet

Chapter 20. Private treasury fund

As soon as You Jin entered the west wing, a few small radishes clustered around with a whoosh: "Third Elder Sister!"

You Zhu, who had a small scar about an inch long on her face, looked at You Jin with joy in her eyes: "Third Elder Sister, Yue Wen Wei was also stung by parasa consocia!"

"I know. Do you still remember what Third Elder Sister said to you at that time? Now Third Elder Sister will tell you again. The rest of you listen too." She picked up little Ninth, who was still staggering as she walked, and led younger sisters back to the kang to sit. Then she spoke each and every word in a slow pace: "It is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge ten years later. If someone stronger than us bullies us and we are unable to fight back outright, we will can think of other ways. You all have to remember that hitting a stone with an egg is the stupidest way. Remember?"

The few little radishes nodded earnestly: "Remember!"

There was a particularly bright light in You Zhu's eyes. From the moment she heard Yue Wen Wei's howling cry and moan, she guessed that it was Third Elder Sister who avenged for her. Now after listening to Third Elder Sister's words, she fully knew that this was Third Elder Sister's doing!

You Jin noticed You Zhu's gleaming eyes and secretly winked at her while the younger sisters weren't paying attention. Caught on, You Zhu nodded. This was a little secret between herself and Third Elder Sister. The sisters messed around. Mrs. Su, who was lying on the kang, heard the movement outside and couldn't help showing a loving smile. That's when she felt that with just them in the family, what did being poor and miserable count as? At least her children didn't have to be afraid and on edge every day. Nor do they need to wonder when they will be beaten again, right?

Back to old Mrs. Chen and Mrs. Chen bringing Yue Wen Wei to Doctor Ma's house. Doctor Ma happened to gone up the mountain to forage medicine and hadn't returned yet. It was half an hour of agitating wait. When Yue Wen Wei was in so much pain that bean-size sweats appear on his forehead and the clothes were soaked, Doctor Ma carefreely came back with the medicine basket on his back.

As soon as he heard that another person who was stung by parasa consocia, Doctor. Ma found this the chance to try the method You Jin given. He grabbed a few parasa consocia, picked out the turquoise vessels and applied it to Yue Wen Wei's wound. Sure enough, within a quarter of an hour, the redness, swelling, and pain were greatly reduced. Seeing that Yue Wen Wei finally stopped howling, old Mrs. Chen and her daughter-in-law breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing that he was all right, Doctor Ma advise them a few things to watch out for: "If it still hurts when you go back, get some soapy water to rub on. Currently, it's parasa consocia's abundant season. You have to take good watch of the child. The sting is fierce. It can sting people to death!"

The mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law originally brought their child to see the doctor. Never thought that they get a lecture from the doctor. Especially old Mrs. Chen. How could she possibly receive such treatment? Her complexion that had recovered due to her grandson's suffering became darker. She vaguely acknowledged in response and left without paying the medical fee.

Watching old Mrs. Chen's departing back, Doctor Ma's wife let out a vicious "pah": "What the heck! You shouldn't get involved. He deserved to be stung! Last time, You Jin and the few girls were so sensible. It really is bad bamboo produce good shoots!"

She turned her head to Doctor Ma, who was sitting in the courtyard cutting herbs, and continued: "He deserved it if you let him he be stung to death. Can we not even say a few words of kindness? She really think of herself as Queen Mother of Heaven?"
