Farmer's eldest sister becomes rich

While cutting grass for the pigs, An Yue teased Chunzhi, "Chunzhi, you are crying out to the heavens and the earth for help but no one will respond! There is no point worrying about the disease if it cannot be solved. Let's hurry up and cut grass for the pigs!"

Afterwards, An Yue silently recalled what Chunzhi had just said in her heart.

Could it be that the fever that the mother and daughter suffered from was really the legendary plague?

However, this epidemic was completely different from what he had imagined.

But then again, this fever is mixed with certain viruses or bacteria, causing cross infection.

The body suffers from persistent high fever, coupled with lack of food and sleep, and an extremely harsh living environment.

Even a body of steel would find it difficult to bear, not to mention that poor nutrition will lead to a weakening of physical constitution. Disease comes like a mountain, and without fast-acting antibiotics, you are just waiting to die.

What's more, the medical conditions in this era are really limited, making it difficult to get timely and effective treatment.

Comparing this era with the 21st century, An Yue couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

At this moment, I really envy the happy people who live in the 21st century and grow up under the red flag.

There are good transportation, high-quality medical conditions, and a comfortable living environment.

As long as you work diligently and hard, even if you cannot become rich, you will definitely not die from a fever or a cold.

Now, there is no way back, and any wishful thinking is just a daydream.

An Yue couldn't help cursing in her heart: [How many ants did I step on in my previous life? What sins did I commit in the mortal world! I was forcibly transported here, purely to suffer. ]

In just less than half a year, we have experienced drought, locust plagues, and floods.

The government turned a blind eye to this and continued to quietly extort money from the people, without even considering opening the granaries to release grain for disaster relief.

The common people were helpless and had to flee the famine with their families, becoming homeless.

Now, the epidemic is spreading again.

The government still turns a deaf ear to what is happening outside. How can we continue to live like this?

An Yue looked at the little food stored at home and thought it could last for a while, but not for a lifetime.

We still have to find ways to solve the current problem of food and clothing and improve the living environment.

An Yue and Chunzhi were cutting grass for pigs along the main road, heading towards home.

It rained yesterday, causing the weeds all over the ground to grow wildly.

An hour passed.

The two men's backpacks were already filled with pig grass.

It was noon when they returned home.

My sisters-in-law Meng Xiuer and An Nian are preparing lunch in the kitchen.

An Yue and Chun Zhi placed the backpack under the eaves and went to the bluestone slabs to wash their hands.

After the two of them entered the main hall and drank a bowl of water, Chunzhi wiped the corners of her mouth and asked, "Miss, do you feel that the weather today is particularly hot?"

After hearing what Chunzhi said, An Yue looked up at the sky outside.

Youyou responded: "No, it just rained yesterday, the weather today is quite refreshing!"

"Huh? Why do I feel so hot?" Chunzhi muttered in confusion.

When An Yue heard Chunzhi say this, her expression suddenly became serious: "Chunzhi, do you feel hot?"

Harue nodded and responded, "Yeah, that's right! I always feel hot all over."

An Yue thought to herself: [Could it be that I have contracted that fever? ]

Thinking of this, An Yue hurriedly walked forward and touched Chunzhi's forehead.

She carefully felt the temperature of Chunzhi's forehead.

After a few breaths, An Yue said, "Chunzhi, your forehead is a little hot. I'm afraid you'll have to drink some herbal medicine for a while."

When Chunzhi heard An Yue say this, she was stunned for a moment and an ominous premonition came to her mind.

She frowned and asked hesitantly, "Miss, could it be..."

Regardless of whether it was a fever or not, the first thing An Yue thought of was to let Chunzhi go back to the room for isolation.

So, she pretended to be calm and said to Chunzhi: "Don't be nervous, Chunzhi. Listen to me first. Go back to your room now and have a good sleep. I will bring you lunch when it's time."

After listening to An Yue's words, she roughly understood what her situation was.

So, he asked, "Miss, will Chunzhi die?"

An Yue forced a smile and comforted him, "Of course not. Early detection and early treatment will lead to early recovery."

Chunzhi felt relieved when she heard An Yue say that. She smiled and agreed, "Yeah, that's right. With the young lady here, Chunzhi feels relieved!"

After saying that, Harue walked towards her room.

When An Yue saw Chunzhi go back to her room, she hurriedly poured the pig grass in the basket under the eaves, then picked up the basket and walked towards the gate of the yard with the sickle.

Meng Xiuer, who was cooking lunch in the kitchen, saw An Yue carrying a backpack as if she was going out. She came out of the kitchen with a wooden shovel and asked, "Yueyue, are you going out?"

An Yue turned back as she walked away and said, "Yes, sister-in-law, don't worry, I'll be back soon."

"But lunch is ready..."

Before Meng Xiuer could finish her words, An Yue had already walked out of the gate.

Meng Xiuer felt that An Yue was a little abnormal, and couldn't help but mutter: "This girl, why do I feel something is wrong today?"

Having said that, she returned to the kitchen, full of confusion, and continued cooking.

After An Yue walked out of the yard, she recalled in her mind the types of medicinal herbs she had picked for the mother and daughter.

There are branches and leaves of yellow broom, plantain, dandelion, houttuynia cordata, and artemisia annua.

After leaving home, I started digging plantain, dandelion and Houttuynia cordata along the way.

After a while, they arrived at the rocky slope of the wasteland behind the mountain, where there was a patch of yellow broom trees.

She cut some with a sickle and put them in her backpack, then went on to look for Artemisia annua.

The midday sun is scorching hot.

An Yue kept looking for medicinal herbs and was already sweating profusely from the heat.

——A quarter of an hour later.

An Yue picked a full basket of herbs.

She hurried back, praying silently in her heart that Chunzhi's condition would not worsen.

When I got home, I found that Daniu, Ale, my grandmother, and my aunt had all returned.

Everyone was walking towards the main hall, waiting for An Yue to go there to have lunch together.

However, An Yue had no intention of going to the main hall.

She thought that now that Chunzhi was infected, she would be doomed as well.

An Yue stood in the yard and said to everyone, "Everyone, listen to me."

After hearing this, everyone turned around and looked at An Yue.

An Yue said calmly, "Recently, Chunzhi and I are not able to dine with everyone."

After hearing this, Meng Xiuer looked confused and asked, "Yueyue, what's going on?"

"Sister-in-law, I'm fine. I just caught a cold accidentally. Everyone must be careful and don't come into contact with us. If you get infected, it will be troublesome."

The aunt asked with a worried look on her face, "What? Wasn't he fine this morning? How did he suddenly catch a cold?"
