Chapter 301: Lest a Good Thing Turn Bad

After hearing what Chu Anshan said, Meng Qiuping thought about it and agreed with it, so she stopped worrying about it and went back to the kitchen to stew candied pears for Chu Yiling.

At around three o'clock in the afternoon, Chu Yiling woke up and sniffed her nose hard a few times. She was very happy to see that everything was unobstructed without any blockage.

It's not her fault. It's just that breathing through the mouth is too uncomfortable. Not only is her tongue tired, but her cheeks are also sore. In just one morning, she felt numb on both sides of her face.

Now it's ok, her nose is unblocked and she can continue to breathe through her nose.

But her voice seemed to be hoarser than before, probably because she always breathed with her mouth open.

Thinking of this, she immediately put on her coat, got off the bed and went to find Meng Qiuping.

"Are you awake? Go brush your teeth and wash your face first. I stewed some rock sugar pear for you."

"mom……."

"Why is your voice so hoarse?"

"I……."

"Stop talking, go brush your teeth and wash your face first, then come over and drink the stewed pear with rock sugar."

Chu Yiling nodded when she heard Meng Qiuping's words, and then she went to the bathroom to wash up.

When she finished washing up and came out of the bathroom, she saw Meng Qiuping had already brought the stewed pear with rock sugar to the table for her. She sat down at the table and started drinking the stewed pear with rock sugar.

Only after she finished a whole bowl of stewed pear with rock sugar did she ask Meng Qiuping, "Mom, where's my dad?"

"He went to the warehouse to help me work."

"Don't we have to go to the warehouse today?"

“I had no choice. The villagers were eager to get their matchboxes and medicine bags home to make paste, so the village chief asked me to work half a day.

But I told the village chief that you were sick and needed someone to take care of you, and in the end it turned out that your father took my place."

Chu Yiling didn't know what to say after hearing what Meng Qiuping said, so she could only say to Meng Qiuping: "Mom, go get me some throat medicine, otherwise I don't know when my throat will get better."

"Let's see the effect of stewing pears with rock sugar first. If your throat still hurts at night, I'll go get you some medicine."

"it is good."

At around five in the evening, Meng Qiuping saw Chu Anshan carrying a sack and walking towards the house, so she asked Chu Anshan, "What is that?"

“The food was given by the villagers.”

“Why do they give you food?”

"They said they were thanking me for finding them a way to make money, so that their son had money to get married and their grandson had money to go to school. In short, these dishes were their way of expressing their gratitude.

I saw that what they sent were all kinds of vegetables grown at home, which were not worth much, so I accepted them.

But I also told them that I would only accept it this time, and next time I would not accept anything they gave me, lest a good thing turn into a bad thing and cause trouble for nothing.”

"You did the right thing. You should be so decisive to avoid suffering a big loss like we did before."

"Don't worry, wife. I know that you learn from your mistakes. What should I do with the vegetables in this sack?"

"What kind of dishes are there?"

"Radishes, cabbages, sweet potatoes, potatoes, and here, some dried vegetables."

"Let Lingling put them in the space. I don't really want to eat these dishes right now."

"Okay, by the way, where's Lingling? Is she still asleep?"

"I've woken up and went to the bathroom in the backyard."

"Dad, you're back."

"Well, are you feeling better?"

"It's much better now, but my voice is still a little hoarse."

"That's good. You can put this sack of vegetables into the space."

When Chu Yiling heard Chu Anshan's words, she nodded, walked forward and put the vegetables into the space.
