Lady Wang who had already accepted him nagged so much, only afraid he hadn’t recovered. Heaven knows she was most afraid that someone in the family got ill, since Jingxuan and Jinghan’s serious illness still remained fresh in his memory.
“I’m fine, mom. Just a cold. The medicine Jingxuan got me is quite good, and I am strong, so I am already feeling much better after a long sleep.”
Yan Shengrui was also quite shameless. As early as when Ling Chenglong and others moved here, he already started to call them dad and mom. Now the word mom came out of his mouth even smoother than coming out of the three brothers. The old couple couldn’t be more satisfied with him.
“But you still need to be careful. A lot of diseases are caused by cold. I told Lady Song to decoct some medicine for you. You take it after lunch.
On this matter, Lady Wang’s tone showed no room for negotiation, so Yan Shengrui could only nodded to agree. Ling Jingxuan then picked up the conversation with a smile, “Mom, those who don’t know what’s happening would take you as a doctor.”
“Prolonged illness makes the patient be a doctor, understand?”
Throwing her son who was teasing him a hard stare, Lady Wang lowered her head and mumbled, “That year, Jinghan also only caught a cold. And I thought it was nothing serious, but…”
pαndα`noνɐ1--сoМ At that time, they hadn’t divided up the family, and all the money was in the old lady’s hand, plus Ling Jinghan was still young and hadn’t shown his talent in reading, so the old couple didn’t favor him at all. They told the old lady that Jinghan was ill and meant to see a doctor for him, but the old lady only gave them a bad scolding. Then she used dowry money to buy some medicine for a cold from a doctor in the village next door, and decocted it for her son. She thought it was only a cold and her son would be fine after taking the medicine, but never expected it had gotten her son ill in bed for over ten years. Every time she thought of that, she couldn’t help blaming herself in the heart. If that year she could have been more considerate, how would her Jinghan been ill in bed for so many years?
“Mom, I am much better now. Besides, I go running every morning, and I practice boxing with Xiaowen and Xiaowu every day, I am a lot stronger now.”
Seeing this, Ling Jinghan who was sitting next to her tried to comfort her. That was already the past. And they also could do nothing at the time.
“Yes, mom, don’t dwell on the past. See how good our whole family is now. Days are getting better and better, you can’t always lament over the past, or you’d get ill.”
While helping Jinghan to comfort his mom, Ling Jingxuan gave Ling Jingpeng an eye, and the latter instantly said, “What they said is reasonable. Mom, don’t think of those sad things. After Jinghan passes the examination and becomes a xiucai, you’d be a xiucai’s mom!”
“You all just pick the nice words to say. All right, I am not sad. Let’s eat food. Come on.”
Their comforting ways were all different. Lady Wang couldn’t help laughing out. And Ling Chenglong aside who looked nervous also started to laugh foolishly. In the past, they even wouldn’t dare to think such kind of life.
“Oh right, Jingxuan, how did the wine sell?”
While eating, Ling Chenglong suddenly asked. Others all pricked up their ears. When Shopkeeper Zhang came to fetch the wine, they were all frightened, and then hurriedly carried the wine onto the carriages. They didn’t even find a chance to ask about that.
“Not bad, don’t talk about that while eating. Today Shopkeeper Zhang ordered a lot of jam. As for the specific situation, I will talk to you later.”
Helping Yan Shengrui scoop out a bowl of tomato and egg soup, Ling Jingxuan casually fuddled this topic over. It was not that he did not trust them, but forty thousand taels of silver was not a small amount, plus his dad was a suggestible person, if someone from old Ling family…He had to be cautious…
“Mom, dad, have a taste of the braised fish. Lady Song’s cooking skills are getting better and better.”
Instantly getting what he meant, Yan Shengrui stood up and picked some fish maw meat for the old couple. And the old couple was both happy and forgot about that matter. The husband and husband exchanged an eye contact of ‘you know me’, while Ling Jingpeng and Zhao&Han couple completely didn’t notice what was happening. Only Ling Jinghan knew what was happening. Of course, he took his big brother’s side.
“Thank you for your praise, Master Sheng.”
Lady Song who was waiting upon was smiling like a flower. For the sake of the whole family, she really had spent a lot of time on food. Every day, she changed the menu for them, only afraid they didn’t like it.
“Song, no need to wait upon there, go eat with Gengniu and others.”
Ling Jingxuan waved his hand, beckoning her to leave. Song Gengniu’s whole family was good, diligent and loyal. The only shortcoming was they were too duteous, sometimes one might not even be used to it.
“But...”
Lady Song looked a bit hesitant. The master was good to them, but they couldn’t just take it so reasonably, right?
“Just go. No buts…”
“Yes, yes, yes...”
With an order of Yan Shengrui, Lady Yang’s hands shook reflectively. Hesitant no more, she bowed to them and walked away. And others gave each other a soft smile. So sometimes a bad person’s existence was necessary, although Yan Shengrui didn’t look like a bad person at all, who even never spoke loudly in this house. But that kind of domineering aura on him always made one awed.
