"Doctor Chu."
In the yard, Chu Shitang stopped and turned around.
Hua Zhi made a gesture of invitation, and the two of them came to the gate of the courtyard one after another.
"Doctor Chu, is there anything else about my grandmother's health that needs attention?"
Chu Shitang was not surprised that Hua Zhi asked this. When he said that the old lady was temporarily stable and everyone else was relieved, she was the only one who frowned.
"To be honest, young lady, if the old lady puts her worries aside and takes good care of herself, she may not be unable to recover. However, it may not be easy for her to put her worries aside. Heart disease needs to be treated with heart medicine. I can only stabilize her temporarily. In the future, I will have to persuade the old lady to let go of the depression in her heart."
Hua Zhi smiled bitterly when she heard this and told her grandmother to put her worry aside unless her grandfather came back right away.
"Don't worry so much, young lady. Things will eventually pass. All it takes is time."
"Thank you for your kind words, but there is another thing that I need Dr. Chu's help with."
"Go ahead, young lady."
"I want to order some pills and ointments from you. The ingredients must be good and they must be sealed with wax. I'll come to settle with you once a month. Is that okay with you?"
"May I ask you, young lady, do you want to send me to the North?"
"Yes, it's cold over there, and it might be inconvenient to see a doctor. I want to prepare some more and send them over."
"The young lady has the intention, so I should try my best."
"Thank you, Butler Xu, for sending Doctor Chu back to the clinic."
Butler Xu quickly agreed and was more respectful to the eldest lady. Even before the old lady thought about how difficult the cold winter in the north would be, the eldest lady was already making preparations and had even thought of that step yesterday. Fortunately.
Watching the people walk away, Hua Zhi covered her mouth and yawned. After a busy day and night, her body felt a little exhausted.
Returning to the room, Hua Zhi sat on the edge of the bed and touched her grandmother's forehead. She said softly, "Everyone has been busy for half the night. Nanny Su, please arrange for everyone to take turns to rest. If there is a shortage of people to serve, transfer a few people from other places first."
"Yes, I will arrange it right away. You have worked hard all night, go back and have a rest."
Hua Zhi was not going to be stubborn. If it weren't for the rules, she would have wanted to crawl to her grandmother's bed and lie down. "Give grandma more water. If the temperature goes up again, you have to use the same method as before, and tell me immediately."
"Yes, I have noted it down."
Hua Zhi, who had never worked hard before and was not very active, was almost half carried and half supported by two maids to return to her room. She fell asleep as soon as she got on the bed.
But the old lady opened her eyes after she left. Nanny Su was so happy that she wanted to send someone to get the eldest girl back immediately, but the old lady stopped her and said, "Let her go back and have a good sleep. It's okay for anyone in our Hua family to fall down now, but not her."
Seeing that the old lady was not lying comfortably, Nanny Su quickly helped her sit up a little, and Nanny Chen stuffed the mattress behind her.
"You don't know how scary it was last night." Nanny Su choked up as she spoke, "He kept talking nonsense, his face was burning, and no matter how we called him, he wouldn't wake up. If it weren't for the effective method of the eldest lady..."
"You'll be fine if you get through this. I know my body. It's bad if I keep holding on and don't get sick." The old lady comforted the loyal servants who had been following her for decades with emotion, "Go tell each room that they don't need to come to pay their respects today. Just rest in your own courtyard. I don't need them to come and serve me here. Oh, and tell them not to disturb Zhi'er, so that she can have a good sleep."
"yes."
When Hua Zhi woke up, she saw four maids busying themselves silently. Her sleep-deprived mind made her forget what day it was.
Yingchun turned around and met her mistress's gaze. She quickly put down her needlework and came over with the clothes in her arms, "Miss, you're awake."
"What time is it?"
"It's one o'clock in the afternoon, and you haven't even turned over in your sleep."
"I'm tired." Hua Zhi, who had completely woken up, stretched out her hand and asked Yingchun to help her change clothes. "How is grandma? Is there anyone over there?"
"I know you're worried about me. Nanny Su came here in person a while ago and said that the old lady has woken up and everything is fine, so you don't have to worry."
After washing and eating, Hua Zhi walked towards her grandmother's yard. In the yard, she heard a soft child's voice coming from the inner room, and people from each room were sitting in the outer room.
"Did you sleep well?" The eldest lady was relieved to see that she was in good spirits. Although she heard some noise last night, she didn't expect that the old lady fell ill, and it was so serious. Fortunately, her daughter was capable.
"Sleep well, Second Aunt, Third Aunt, Fourth Aunt, you are all here."
Second Aunt said in a gentle voice: "You should be the one who takes care of the patient. You are tired all alone at night. Why didn't you send someone to inform me?"
"I didn't think it through."
"I'm not blaming you, it's just that I don't think it makes sense to tire you out alone."
This is the woman of the Hua family, gentle and kind, but with a sharp tongue. Hua Zhi sighed while dealing with her. She is not a man and cannot afford such gentleness. In comparison, she prefers a cheerful and straightforward woman.
After entering the inner room, Hua Bolin saw her and quickly stood up, "Elder sister."
Others in the room called for help.
All the descendants of the Hua family are here, six boys and four girls.
I sat on the edge of the bed and touched my grandmother's forehead. The temperature was still a little high, but it was much better than last night.
"Don't worry, I'm much better." The old lady held her hands and folded them together in her palms. The tenderness and dryness formed a sharp contrast, just like the transition between old and young.
"Just take good care of him and leave the rest to me."
"Okay, okay, enjoy my granddaughter's blessing." The old lady smiled, as if she had forgotten that she was still ill.
Hua Zhi felt that as long as her grandmother kept smiling like this, the family would definitely be fine. As long as she sat there, even if they were worried, they would not lose hope for the future.
"Grandma, everything will be fine."
"I just hope things get better." The old lady sighed deeply, "Such a big thing happened at home, but your two aunts didn't even come to take a look. I don't know who they inherited such cruelty from."
"If they no longer consider themselves as members of the Hua family, it makes sense. Once a woman gets married and has children, she will always think less about herself and more about her children." Hua Zhi smiled, "Eldest aunt can't say, but with youngest aunt's temper, I'm afraid she must have cried a lot in hiding."
Yes, the only person in the Hua family who could completely ignore the life and death of her mother's family is probably Hua Xian. Among her four children, she favors her eldest daughter the most, but it is her daughter who hurts her the most.
Sighing, leaving those people who were not worth her worrying about, the old lady asked gently, "We can ignore what the Hua family's relatives are planning, but should our Hua family also have a set of rules?"
"My aunts are my elders. I cannot make a decision without their permission. I will just tell you what I think and you can listen to it."
