Farmer girl swaps husbands: buys a sickly villain and pampers him

Chapter 122 Sick
Su Yaoguang pushed the door open and smelled a strong stench, which almost made her leave.

She covered her nose and walked to the bed, looking at Zhou Wangshu lying there gasping for breath, her eyes full of shock.

"How did it come to this?"

She moved the things in first, then checked Zhou Wangshu's condition.

From the moment she stepped into the room, she had been working non-stop, from decocting medicine for Zhou Wangshu to cleaning the entire room inside and out, and finally fumigating it with mugwort. By the time she finished all this, it was already afternoon.

She covered her mouth and nose with a cloth and went to the kitchen.

"Uncle, could you please boil some hot water for me and bring it to my room?" Su Yaoguang said, handing over two taels of silver. "I know you will be very busy during this period, so I'm sorry to bother you."

Seeing this, the kitchen guy immediately agreed.

They were originally responsible for taking care of these students, and even if they didn't get paid, they had to do this job well. Now there are many sick students, and they have to take care of one and then the other. Because of illness, the students are more difficult to take care of than usual. Now they meet such a polite person who is willing to pay them for their hard work, and they just wish they had two more hands to take good care of this little ancestor.

After Su Yaoguang gave the instructions, she went back to take care of Zhou Wangshu.

On the other side, Jiang Yihan regretted it the moment she stepped into Xiao Yanci's room.

She lay beside him vomiting.

Xiao Yanci's condition was better than Zhou Wangshu's. Although he lay there powerless, burning like a furnace, he was conscious, so he clearly saw Jiang Yihuan's disgusted gesture.

Jiang Yihuan retched for a long time before finally coming to her senses. She walked out the door, found the servants in the academy, and asked them to clean Xiao Yanci's room.

"I'm sorry, but we're busy taking care of patients right now. Since you're here to take care of Xiao Xuezi, please take care of him. We're short-staffed here, so we have to take care of those who have no one to take care of first."

"I'm weak and can't do any work." Jiang Yihan wiped the non-existent sweat from his forehead.

"Then what's the point of you coming here?" said the bad-tempered servant next to him fiercely.

"Okay, stop talking." Another person quickly stopped him.

"I... I know I'm useless." Jiang Yihuan's eyes were red, and she covered her face with her hands and sobbed. "I'm sorry to trouble you, but I don't know who to turn to."

"You are Jiang Xuezi's sister, right?" the servant said, "Why don't you ask Jiang Xuezi to help take care of her? They are both men, and men are stronger."

"Yes, you are a family, why can't you take care of each other? That Jiang Xuezi is so energetic, why don't you go to us who have to take care of more than a dozen patients at the same time instead of him? Is that appropriate?"

Impatience flashed in Jiang Yihuan's eyes.

If Jiang Yihui was willing to do these things, would she need to ask them? Besides, serving the students was their job, and they were still trying to shirk their responsibilities like this. Did they really think she was easy to bully?

Jiang Yihuan cursed these 'lazy' servants more than a dozen times in his heart, then reluctantly took out a string of copper coins and stuffed them in. "Sorry to bother you, my brother is a weak scholar and really doesn't know how to take care of people."

"Alright!" the usually easygoing servant took over. "Once we're done here, we'll go clean up Xiao Xuezi's room. But young lady, even if we clean it up today, it'll still be the same tomorrow, so you'll have to clean it up yourself. As you can see, we have to make medicine for so many people and be on call at all times. We really can't take care of everything."

"I understand." Jiang Yihuan frowned and turned away.

Xiao Yanci waited and waited until the servant came to clean the room.

Jiang Yihuan hadn't returned, and no one knew where she had gone. The two servants were tidying up while complaining, "They're both women, but they're really incomparable. The one from Zhou Xuezi's family has been busy. First, she made some medicine for Zhou Xuezi, then she cleaned the room inside and out, and even fumigated it with mugwort. I just went over to take a look, and the room was so clean, it felt like a new house."

"I just came from the kitchen and heard from Old Liu there that Mr. Zhou's sister gave them two taels of silver and asked them to help boil water and carry it over. She wanted to give him a bath!"

"Two taels of silver? My God, that's too generous. Just boiling water and you gave me two taels of silver. Why am I not helping in the kitchen?"

"Originally, this Miss Su took the initiative to come and take care of Mr. Zhou. Unlike the one from Mr. Xiao's family, she was reluctant to come. It was the one from Mr. Zhou's family who persuaded her to come, so she came."

Xiao Yanci started coughing violently.

In his previous life, he never left the academy and was not sick at all, so he had no idea that such a thing would happen.

If he had known something like this would happen, he would have been more honest. But unfortunately, there is no such thing as knowing in advance, and there is no medicine for regret.

Huan'er...

Are they really unwilling to take care of him as they say?
No! Huan'er is so kind, there's no way she'd just leave him alone. It can only be said that Huan'er hasn't completely fallen in love with him yet, so she always remembers the important distinctions between men and women. As long as she loves him as deeply as she did in her previous life, she'll give everything for him, just like she did in her previous life.

Don't blame Huan'er, it was him who didn't let her fall in love with him earlier.

"By the way, I have to correct you on one point. Miss Su is not Mr. Zhou's sister, but his wife."

"What? But she told others that she was Mr. Zhou's sister."

"I heard that Zhou Xuezi is too young. The two of them have only signed the marriage certificate and haven't held a wedding yet. They may want to wait two years to hold the wedding before changing their mind!"

Xiao Yanci snorted softly.

In her previous life, Su Yaoguang wished everyone in the world knew they were husband and wife, and never revealed they were siblings. Clearly, she wasn't truly sincere towards Zhou Wangshu.

Jiang Yihuan is finally back.

She held a basin of clean water in her hand and wiped Xiao Yanci's body with a wrung-out towel.

"Two young men, please give him a bath." Jiang Yihuan said softly.

"Sorry, we really don't have time. You can clean it for him!" The two servants cleaned up the room and left quickly.

The two of them only received fifty cents. She wouldn't expect them to be slaves to Xiao Xuezi alone, right?

Seeing them running so fast, Jiang Yihuan's face flushed with anger. She turned around and met Xiao Yanci's disappointed eyes.

"I just went to see my brother. My mom was worried about him, so she told me to go see him first after I came in. I had to tell her, so I went to see him." Jiang Yihuan wanted to sit down by the bed, but the smell was too bad. She just stood by the bed and didn't dare to go near him. "Luckily, my brother is okay, otherwise it would be hard to explain. Brother Xiao, are you feeling better?"

Xiao Yanci forced an ugly smile.

Jiang Yihuan deeply regretted ever stepping foot into this academy. That bitch Su Yaoguang had deliberately plotted against her. Now that she was in, if she left, Xiao Yanci, the big fish, would probably get away.
