Chapter 35

It’s Easier To Invite A God Than to Send It Away!

Fang Rui’er sat for a while and was about to rush back when Lin Suisui came out to see her off. The two of them had just walked out of the oilcloth wind curtain while chatting and laughing when they saw the sisters, who had been mentioned by the two of them earlier, kneeling outside Mrs. Luo’s tent not far away. They were sobbing and seemed to be explaining something.

It would have been better if she hadn’t looked. When Fang Rui’er saw them, her expression darkened.

“You’re still unwilling to give up!” Fang Rui’er held the umbrella and rushed back to her tent aggressively.

Lin Suisui wanted to stand and watch. If anything was wrong, she could go over and support Mrs. Luo and the others. However, Mrs. Luo’s reaction was not slow. Soon, she came out with her eldest daughter-in-law and helped the sisters up before inviting them into the tent.

It wasn’t appropriate to watch any longer.

Coincidentally, Lu Ze had also finished packing up the pheasants and hares. Seeing Lin Suisui standing in the wind, he said disapprovingly, “Why are you standing here?”

“Rui’er just sent the dumplings over.” Lin Suisui helped Lu Ze take off the bamboo hat on his head and told him what had happened in a soft voice. Then, she continued worriedly, “I wanted to go over and take a look, but from the looks of it, Mrs. Luo and the others should have found a solution.”

Lu Ze nodded. He was not very interested in this kind of thing. He hung the prey on a branch at the side to drain it. As he turned around, he walked back to the bonfire and said to her, “Just do as you see fit.”

However, it’s best if you ignore those two sisters.”

“I know. Those two don’t have any good intentions.” Lin Suisui agreed with Lu Ze’s suggestion. Although she was not interested in such schemes, she was not stupid.

It was a fact that they were usually close to Mrs. Luo’s family. All the refugees nearby who were familiar with them knew that she and Lu Ze were the only ones in their family. It was not appropriate for the girls to approach them. If they could get the help of Mrs. Luo’s family and use them to get closer to them, it would indeed be a good idea.

However, Lin Suisui also knew that the final responsibility was on Lu Ze.

However, Lin Suisui didn’t say anything. After all, none of this had happened yet. What she was thinking was just her guess. Everything depended on how it developed.

But it was definitely wise to be careful.

Because Mrs. Luo had sent dumplings over, the two of them decided to have a simple meal and rest at night. As soon as they finished eating, Fang Rui’er rushed back to the house.

“It’s those two sisters. Didn’t they get drenched in the rain just now? If they go back like this, my mother is worried that they might catch a cold and fall sick. She asked me to come over and get some herbs to cook and drink in order to ward off the cold for them.”

Although Fang Rui’er was still dissatisfied with the sisters, her attitude was clearly not as harsh as before.

It seemed that the sisters had gained something at Mrs. Luo’s house just now.

Lin Suisui nodded and got up to go to the carriage to get some of the herbs that had been dried and put away. She also took two large pieces of ginger and handed them to Fang Rui’er. “These herbs are the best for repelling cold. Take them back and boil them with this ginger. The effect will be even better.”

Fang Rui’er thanked her and hurriedly turned to leave again.

It had to be said that Mrs. Luo’s worry was reasonable.

The next day, there was indeed news that Du Miao’er was sick and had a fever. Du Miao’er was extremely anxious and ran over early in the morning to ask Mrs. Luo for help. ƒ𝚛𝐞𝚎𝑤𝘦𝚋𝓷o𝚟e𝘭.c𝐨𝙢

Before Mrs. Luo could react, the Du family’s stepmother had already brought a group of familiar old women to look for Du Miao’er.

After a commotion, the Du family left Du Miao’er at Mrs. Luo’s tent.

Du Miao’er was left sitting on the ground, crying in Du Juan’er arms.

Although Mrs. Luo was also filled with grievance and anger, the unreasonable one was the Du family’s stepmother. Looking at the two poor little girls on the ground, she really couldn’t make the decision to ignore them completely.

Therefore, in the end, she helped Du Juan’er help her sister into the tent.

Lin Suisui, who had watched everything from the beginning to the end, subconsciously thought of a saying—it was easy to invite a god, but difficult to send a god away.

Since the older sister of the Du family was sick, she naturally had to see a doctor.

However, in this environment, it was difficult to even fill one’s stomach, let alone find a doctor in this remote place. This was also the reason the Du family’s stepmother abandoned her to Mrs. Luo.

Lin Suisui naturally thought of Mrs. Luo’s anxiety. When she saw Fang Rui’er coming out of the tent with her head lowered, she raised her hand and gestured for her to come over and talk.

Fang Rui’er had always trusted Lin Suisui, so she didn’t think too much about it and ran over to her in the rain.

“How’s the Du family’s sister?!”

As Lin Suisui poured a bowl of ginger soup for her, she asked about the progress of the matter in a low voice.

At the mention of this, Fang Rui’er’s expression turned ugly. “It’s bad. The fever won’t subside. My mother is worried. That girl said that they have an old doctor who knows some medical skills, but what about the consultation fee?!”

Besides, I feel that something is wrong!”

“Don’t be anxious. I’ll accompany you to take a look.” When Lin Suisui heard Fang Rui’er say this, she more or less had a guess. She got up and climbed into the ox cart. She took out her needle bag and stuffed it into her arms. Then, she changed her shoes and looked at Fang Rui’er. “Don’t look at me like that. It’s just a coincidence that I have some medical skills. I can’t guarantee that I can any serious disease, but a headache and fever won’t stump me!”

Fang Rui’er’s eyes lit up when she heard Lin Suisui’s words. She couldn’t be bothered to ask anymore. She nodded and pulled Lin Suisui in the direction of their tent.

When she reached the door, before she could enter, she heard a crisp voice crying and begging, “Auntie, I beg you. I know I’m asking too much, but we’re really at our wits’ end now!

Please help my sister get that doctor to take a look first. Just treat it as if my sister and I borrowed the treatment fee from you first. When my sister recovers, we will definitely think of a way to earn money to pay you back!

Look, my sister has already been feverish for a day and a night. If this continues, I’m afraid she won’t be able to hold on anymore!”
