Chapter 140 The Cause of Aunt's Illness

Lin Yong watched with great interest from the sidelines. If he didn't have work to do at home, he would have definitely gone to the oil mill to work with them.

Unfortunately, without three heads and six arms, one can only sigh in vain.

"Mengli..."

At this moment, Lin Xifei'erbajin's voice rang out from inside the room.

Gao Mengli quickly ran into the house.

Then they saw Lin Xi struggling to drag a bamboo basket full of copper coins.

Gao Mengli slapped her forehead; she had forgotten about that.

There are no money shops in Pingyao. They usually only accept copper coins for business, and there is nowhere to exchange them for silver.

Normally, everyone except Zhang Biao used copper coins.

A 50-tael copper coin is no light weight.

Gao Mengli quickly went over and together with Lin Xi carried out the copper coins and placed them in front of the village chief. "Father, please see the village chief off."

"Alright!" Lin Yong quickly carried the bamboo basket out with the excited village chief.

After the two left, Gao Mengli quickly tidied up the things in her basket.

For the next few days, Gao Mengli stayed at home, tinkering and making things, and did not go to the county town with Lin Xi to do business.

During the day, when she was free, she would make loquat syrup with Yang Qing and Zhu Mei.

Gao Mengli bought the loquat leaves in the village for 10 wen per jin, and many loquat trees have already been cruelly killed and "shaved off".

Only a few open flowers survived the disaster!

Nan Chang'an drove a horse-drawn carriage, accompanied by some subordinates with limp legs and broken arms, to Wangyue Village to transport 300 jin of loquat syrup to the Sang family.

That means 6 large, sealed cylinders!

This not only facilitates transportation but also avoids the danger of the small pottery jars breaking on the way.

Every day after closing time, Lin Xi would take a small stool and sit at the door to keep watch for Gao Mengli!

He was idly counting the branches and leaves of the willow tree by the door.

Just then, a man and a woman walked towards them from a distance.

Lin Xi looked closely, quickly stood up, and waved to the two people in the distance, "Uncle!"

Jiang Yuandao quickly pulled the woman next to him toward Lin Xi's house.

"Lin Xi, we'll bring over some eggs and loquat leaves!"

Lin Xi quickly smiled and stepped forward to help Jiang Yuandao put down the basket.

However, his gaze kept wandering curiously to the smiling stranger beside him.

He was completely confused; he didn't recognize this person.

However, judging from their intimate manner, this must be his aunt, who is taking care of him!

"Hello, Auntie!" Lin Xi called out, feeling a bit overwhelmed by his aunt's smile.

"Xixi, you eat!"

At this moment, Yu Yuan took out two warm eggs from her bosom and placed them in Lin Xi's hand.

Lin Xi held the eggs, somewhat at a loss, feeling uneasy under Yu Yuan's overly enthusiastic smile.

"Aunt... Aunt, thank you..."

Yu Yuan acted as if she hadn't heard him, and just kept staring at Lin Xi and smiling, muttering to herself, "Kids should eat more eggs to grow strong!"

Suddenly, she remembered something, snatched the egg from Lin Xi's hand, and said with a reluctant expression, "Wrong, wrong, this is for my nephew Lin Xi, not for you!"

After saying that, he anxiously shouted into the house, "Nephew, Lin Xi!"

Lin Xi was speechless. He had just said that his aunt seemed strange to him...

At this moment, Lin Fu curiously peeked out from the courtyard of the old house. Seeing that it was Jiang Yuandao and Yu Yuan, he quickly ran out and called out, "Grandpa, Grandma!"

When Yu Yuan saw Lin Fu, her eyes immediately lit up, and she shoved the egg into Lin Fu's hand, "Oh, this is my good nephew! Here, have this egg!"

Lin Fu looked completely bewildered and looked up at Yu Yuan, "Grandma, I'm not your nephew, I'm your grandson!"

Upon hearing this, Yu Yuan froze on the spot, scratched his head, and looked puzzled. "Grandson? Oh dear, you are my nephew Lin Xi, how could I be wrong!"

"Why don't you acknowledge your aunt? Don't you remember? When you had a fever before, I was the one who took you to the doctor in the county town!"

Lin Fu was at a loss and was about to explain again when Jiang Yuandao quickly stepped forward and pulled Yu Yuan away, "Mother of the child, you're confused again. This is Fu'er, and this is Lin Xi."

Yu Yuan blinked her aged eyes, looked at Lin Fu, then at Lin Xi, and suddenly her mouth trembled as she burst into tears.

Choking back tears, she mumbled, "How could I be wrong? I remember, Xixi was about this size..."

Everyone was flustered by Yu Yuan's crying.

The old house next door also heard the commotion and quickly came out.

When Gao Mengli heard the noise, she put her things back inside and hid before opening the courtyard gate and coming out.

As soon as I stepped outside, I saw a crowd of people at the door coaxing a woman I didn't recognize.

Lin Xi quickly shuffled over to Gao Mengli's side and whispered in her ear, "This is my aunt, it seems like this place..."

Gao Mengli looked at Lin Xi, pointed to her head, and nodded knowingly.

The woman was wearing a faded cotton dress, her temples were gray, but she was round and plump.

Jiang Yuandao took excellent care of her.

Gao Mengli stepped forward and gently persuaded, "Aunt, please don't cry. Fu'er and Lin Xi are here. Let's go inside and talk slowly."

Yu Yuan looked at Gao Mengli, her eyes filled with unfamiliarity, "Who are you?"

Gao Mengli's lips twitched.

This illness is quite serious...

Jiang Yuandao quickly pulled Yu Yuan aside and patiently explained, "This is Lin Xi's wife, Meng Li!"

Yu Yuan looked at Gao Mengli, then at Lin Xi, and suddenly sat down on the ground and burst into tears, "Are you lying to me? I don't know my nephew and nephew's wife! Give me back my nephew and nephew's wife!"

Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what to do.

Jiang Shuzhi quickly comforted Yu Yuan and had Yang Qing and Zhu Mei help Yu Yuan into the old house courtyard.

Jiang Yuandao looked embarrassed, afraid that Gao Mengli and Lin Xi would be angry, so he quickly explained, "Nephew, nephew's wife, it's all my fault."

Your cousin went to work carrying heavy loads today, and there was no one at home to take care of your aunt. So I brought him along. Please don't worry about it.

Lin Xi quickly waved her hand with a smile: "Uncle, what are you saying? How could we be angry?"

Our aunt had no choice in the matter; we understand.

Gao Mengli nodded in agreement, "Yes, Uncle."

Jiang Yuandao breathed a sigh of relief. "That's good, that's good. I was just afraid of causing you trouble."

After saying that, he chuckled and scratched his head. Hearing the commotion from Yu Yuan's house, he quickly ran in to comfort his wife.

Just then, Gao Mengli noticed that Jiang's expression was a little strange, and she kept stealing glances at her and Lin Xi.

This made Gao Mengli's heart skip a beat. Could it be that this matter was related to the two of them?

She and Lin Xi exchanged a glance, both of them guessing the same thing.

Lin Xi quickly pulled Jiang Shuzhi back to the courtyard, and Gao Mengli slammed the courtyard gate shut.

"Mother... how did my aunt get so sick?" Lin Xi asked uncertainly.

I prayed fervently that it wasn't the original owner's doing.

But prayers were useless.

Jiang Shuzhi sighed, looking at the two people in front of her with a complicated expression.

After a long silence, he finally spoke softly.
