The beloved baby has a space

Chapter 90 The Truffles Sold
Little Ayu was awakened by a burst of crying.

When she opened her eyes, she saw that her brothers' faces were covered in tears and snot, each one crying more miserably than the last.

"Fifth brother, sixth brother, seventh brother, third fat brother..." Little Ayu called out to them one by one.

When Wang Wulang and the others looked up, they saw Xiao Ayu rubbing her eyes and sitting up, and they were so shocked that they almost fainted.

"Ayu, you're not dead?!" Wang Wulang exclaimed, then immediately pounced on her and hugged little Ayu tightly.

"Waaaaah, you're not dead! That's great! I don't have to get beaten up by Grandma anymore!"

【…】

All of this happened in the blink of an eye.

Qin Huai also woke up and met Chi Jia's gaze.

"Young Master?!" Red Armor exclaimed urgently, "Why did the illness develop so quickly this time?"

If he had known it would be this fast, he shouldn't have left the young master's side!
And this illness seems quite severe; could it be that the young master won't even make it through three months?!

He's bleeding from all seven orifices!
Qin Huai's face turned pale, and he gritted his teeth, saying, "Hold me."

Red Armor was completely bewildered: "What?"

"Hold me," Qin Huai repeated. "I need to use the restroom."

Seeing the young master's restrained expression, Chi Jia knew from years of tacit understanding that he shouldn't ask why.

He immediately picked up Qin Huai, used his lightness skill to quickly cross to the other side of the mountain.

There are small houses built by the villagers of Hujia Village there, which are used for temporary rest after hunting.

Fortunately, there was a dry toilet nearby.

Wang Wulang and the others no longer had time to care about what Chi Jia and the others were doing, and they weren't even excited about each of them having a pheasant.

"Little Ayu, are you hurt?" Wang Wulang picked up little Ayu and looked her over from head to toe.

No obvious injuries were found.

"Brother Ayou is injured! He vomited a lot of blood!" Little Ayu was so worried that she forgot to check if Brother Ayou was alright.

"What, Brother Ayou?" When did my sister get another brother?

"Brother Qin Huai said his name is Brother Ayou," said Xiao Ayu.

"Never mind, it's not important. Let's go back first. Your clothes are all dirty, you need to go back and change." Wang Wulang waved his hand, picked up Xiao Ayu, and handed the pheasant in his hand to Wang Liulang.

The group of young men didn't wait for Chi Jia and the others, and all hurried down the mountain.

Originally, Chi Jia led them to catch a pheasant each, and the boys were overjoyed. But now, seeing Xiao Ayu like this, they all felt a slight ache in their butts.

Will they get beaten up?!

It seems I shouldn't take Ayu into the mountains next time.

When the boys go to play in the mountains, the adults usually don't interfere.

Who has time to care about them?
Just tell them not to go into the deep mountains.

This time, they might never be able to go to the mountains again.

Ugh!
"Ayu, don't tell Grandma when you go back that we've left you aside," Wang Liulang quickly said to little Ayu, seizing the opportunity.

Wang Qilang quickly added, "Yes, yes, please don't say that, otherwise we won't be able to play together anymore."

Little Ayu: "Ayu knows." When they reached the foot of the mountain, the boys went home. When Wang Wulang and the others returned to Old Wang's house, Old Mrs. Wang was indeed startled to see Little Ayu covered in blood.

However, after finding out that it wasn't Ayu's blood, Grandma Wang was finally relieved.

However, Wang Wulang and his men still couldn't escape a beating of bamboo shoots stir-fried with meat.

"Don't think you're safe just because you caught three pheasants! You must have left Ayu there and gone off to play!" Old Mrs. Wang looked at Wang Wulang. "What did I tell you? I told you to take good care of your sister. You took her to play in the mountains, but did you even consider that she might get hurt? Even if she didn't get hurt this time, what about next time? What if she encountered some snakes, insects, or wild animals and scared Ayu?"

Wang Wulang hadn't expected this, so he could only obediently take the beating.

But since they did bring back pheasants, Old Mrs. Wang only gave them a minor punishment and didn't really punish them severely.

Liu quickly took Xiao Ayu to take a bath and changed her clothes.

Fortunately, little Ayu was small, and with the fabric at home plus the fabric given by Qin, they managed to make four outfits for her; otherwise, she would have had no new clothes to wear.

Wang Chuanman was working outside when he heard some of the boys say that Xiao Ayu had blood on her body when she came back. He was so scared that he didn't even pick up his hoe and ran back to check, only to find out that it was a false alarm.

"That kid named Qin Huai, he came here to recuperate. His illness seems quite serious; he's even vomiting blood!" Liu said to Wang Chuanman with concern. "Could it be contagious?"

Their daughter, Ayu, is so young; even a minor illness or pain could kill her.

Wang Chuanman rubbed his hands together: "I don't know either. I'll go ask Doctor Hu!"

He had just stepped out the door when he saw Dr. Hu walking towards their house, his face beaming with joy, as if he had some great news to share.

"Dr. Hu, what brings you here?" Wang Chuanman hurriedly went to greet him. "Is there something you need?"

"Great news, very good news! Is your mother home? I need to find her." After saying that, Dr. Hu felt it was a bit inappropriate, so he added, "Your father can also be home."

"Yes, yes, my parents are here." Wang Chuanman quickly led the people back, then shouted at the top of his lungs, "Father, Mother, Doctor Hu is here!"

When Grandma Wang heard that Dr. Hu had come, she probably guessed that he had come for the truffles.

Previously, when Xiao Ayu found truffles on the mountain, Grandma Wang gave them to Doctor Hu and asked him to help sell them.

Grandma Wang hadn't asked about the progress these past few days, but it seems there's some progress now.

Grandma Wang asked her daughters-in-law to deal with the pheasants, while she led Doctor Hu to the main room and had Old Wang come in as well.

Doctor Hu cut to the chase: "Aunt Wang, about those truffles you asked me to sell, I met a herbal medicine merchant who was willing to buy them all for 550 taels. I thought the price was right, so I sold them all. Here are the silver notes—"

Doctor Hu placed the silver note on the table and pushed it towards Old Mrs. Wang. There were also five silver ingots.

Old Mrs. Wang picked up the silver note, glanced at it, and said with a smile, "Thank you very much, Dr. Hu. You must have had a hard time making this trip. Consider this fifty taels of silver as a token of your appreciation."

"No, no, that won't do. When your sons took me to the truffle digging spot, I dug up a small clump. Although it wasn't as much as yours, it still sold for a good price, which is enough to cover my hard work." Doctor Hu quickly shook his head. "Auntie is willing to let me sell them, which shows she trusts me a lot. I won't say anything more."

Dr. Hu wasn't a very sociable person, and fearing that Old Mrs. Wang would insist on seeing him off, he left his things behind and quickly departed.

"Aunt Wang, if you have any medicinal herbs or anything else you don't know about in the future, you can bring them to me and ask. I can help you sell them." After saying this, Doctor Hu left.

Old Mrs. Wang was holding the silver note thoughtfully when she turned her head and saw Old Wang looking dumbfounded.

He was clearly terrified by that banknote.

"Old, old, old woman—"

When did the family have such a large income? How come he didn't know anything about it?
"What? Never seen so much money before!" Old Mrs. Wang rolled her eyes. "This money was earned by your children. You're not even as good as them? Where do you put your face?"

Old Wang: "..." If you're going to talk, then talk properly. What's with this personal attack?
