Through the troubled times and famine, I just want to farm peacefully
Chapter 273 Where to go?
Yu Qiutou thanked the servant again and again, then she held her big belly and stepped clumsily into the house.
It was New Year's Day, and unlike the other places in the mansion which were decorated with lights and colorful lanterns, the room where Yu Shicheng was imprisoned had its doors and windows closed and was extremely dark inside. Although the weather was not too cold, there were two burning braziers in the room.
Under the scorching charcoal fire, the warm air in the house hit me in the face, emitting waves of disgusting stench.
Yu Qiutao held her stomach with one hand, covered her nose with a handkerchief with the other, and looked around the room.
The room was simply furnished, with almost nothing else except tables, chairs, couches and beds.
"Young Master!" she called softly, her eyes sweeping over the bed; there was no one on it.
"Da da da……"
Suddenly, there was a sound of teeth knocking against each other, which startled Yu Qiutao.
She covered her chest and turned to look at the couch where the sound came from.
In the dim firelight, Yu Qiutou vaguely saw a figure curled up on the low couch.
"Master, is that you?" She was so frightened that her voice trembled a little, and she slowly moved towards the couch.
At this time, the person curled up on the low couch raised his head, revealing a thin face, with a haggard complexion, sunken cheeks, eyes bulging like a ghost, wearing a thick cotton coat, and the whole person was shaking uncontrollably.
Yu Qiutao was shocked when she first saw him. He was completely different from the handsome and elegant young master of the past.
Seeing that he seemed to be curled up, as if enduring unbearable pain, Yu Qiutao took two steps forward and asked with concern, "Master, how are you?"
Yu Shicheng's limbs were shaking and his whole body was covered in cold sweat. He felt as if there were thousands of ants in his body, gnawing at his flesh and blood.
In the blink of an eye, he was in so much pain that tears were streaming down his face. The bites from the ants made his bones numb, painful and itchy. He stretched out his hands and scratched them desperately, leaving bloody marks on his neck, including the skin and flesh.
Yu Qiutao was horrified and took a few steps back, bumping into the table. She put her hands on the table and managed to steady herself.
His hand accidentally knocked over the tea bowl on the table, and it rolled to the ground, making a crisp cracking sound.
The sound woke up Yu Shicheng who was scratching frantically. He looked up at Yu Qiutao and fell off the couch.
"Give me the medicine, give me the medicine quickly!"
He roared and crawled towards Yu Qiutou, trying to grab the hem of her skirt. Yu Qiutou screamed in fear and hurriedly went around to the other side of the table.
"Master, I'm Tao'er! Don't you recognize me?" She tried to wake him up.
Yu Shicheng was stunned for a moment, then banged his head against the table in pain, and blood gushed out in an instant.
At this time, two servants outside the door heard the noise and rushed in, holding Yu Shicheng on the left and right.
One of the servants took out a paper bag, tore it open and poured the medicine powder in the bag into Yu Shicheng's mouth.
"Stop! What are you feeding the young master?" Yu Qiutou tried to stop them.
The servant snorted coldly, "I am just following the instructions of the master and his wife. This medicine can relieve the pain of the young master. Aunt Tao, please don't meddle in other people's business."
Yu Qiutao was embarrassed and said nothing more.
After a moment, Yu Shicheng, who had been in a frenzy just now, calmed down, and a trace of clarity returned to his eyes.
"Master, what do you think?" Yu Qiutao looked delighted.
Upon hearing this, Yu Shicheng looked at her, his gaze lingering on her bulging belly, and a hint of unknown emotion flashed in his eyes.
"How did you come?"
The servant helped him sit slowly on the chair.
"Master, please save my brother." Yu Qiutao's eyes were full of helplessness and pleading.
"What happened to your brother?"
So Yu Qiutao told the Lin family the whole story.
Lin Chaohui was instigated by someone to become addicted to gambling. He owed a huge gambling debt that he was unable to repay. A few years ago, his leg was broken by someone in the gambling house. Now he lies at home with no money for medical treatment.
Ever since Yu Suqin married into the Yu family, she has been lazy and has done no work. Now the family relies on her elder sister Lin Dongmei to help with laundry and just make ends meet.
After listening to Yu Qiutao's story, Yu Shicheng was silent for a long time, then he hobbled to the bed and took out a purse.
He couldn't survive because of his blood in her belly.
Yu Shicheng said patiently, "This is all I have. Please don't come here again in the future. The eldest daughter is in charge of the family now. If you have any questions, please ask mother. When you give birth to a child in the future, mother will treat you and your child well."
"Young Master, you will get better!" Yu Qiutao was unwilling to accept it. How could the Young Master become like this?
Yu Shicheng sneered. His body had been completely hollowed out by the poison. Now that he was locked up here, he was just waiting to die.
"Go back!" He raised his hand and waved weakly at Yu Qiutou.
Yu Qiutao wanted to say something else when she was suddenly kicked hard in the stomach.
"Master, the child kicked me." She looked at him expectantly.
Yu Shicheng clenched his fists in his sleeves and said to the servants expressionlessly, "Send Aunt Tao out."
The servant gestured to Yu Qiutao to invite her back, "Auntie Tao, please go back!"
She gritted her teeth, stomped her feet, turned around and walked out of the house.
Lin Dongmei stood awkwardly in the flower hall, not daring to sit down. She lowered her head and huddled, trying her best to reduce her presence.
The maid glanced at her with contempt from time to time, and looking at the short clothes she was wearing, Lin Dongmei felt even more ashamed.
There were several holes on her shoes, the color of which could not be seen. Her pants were too short to cover her ankles, let alone hide the holes on the shoes. No matter how she curled her feet, her toes were still exposed from the holes.
Lin Dongmei was very self-conscious, even her maids were dressed better than her.
Yu Qiutou returned to the courtyard where she lived, holding her belly. As soon as she stepped into the house, the maid forced a smile and came forward to support her.
"Aunt Tao, please slow down!"
Yu Qiutao sat down on the low couch, glanced at her, and said in a light tone, "You go out first, I will say some considerate words to my sister."
"Yes." The maid lowered her eyebrows and said pleasantly.
As soon as the maid left, Yu Qiutao took out a purse from her sleeve pocket.
"This is the last time I will help the family. Go back and ask mom to save some money. I'm about to give birth, and I won't be able to take care of myself in the future. I'm afraid I won't be able to take care of the family." She said tiredly.
They thought their family was going to get better, but unexpectedly, the good days didn't last for more than two days before her brother became addicted to gambling and squandered all the family fortune that he had worked so hard to save. Now, not only is his leg broken, he has also been kicked out of the Yu family.
Her mother didn't feel sorry for her at all, and she even took all her pocket money several times.
Lin Dongmei pinched her purse, lowered her head and whispered, "Sister, why don't you keep the money?"
Seeing her unpresentable appearance, Yu Qiutou became irritated for no reason. She stroked her belly and waved at her, "Go back now. Take good care of mother and big brother in the future."
After a pause, she said cruelly, "Don't come here again."
"Sister, take care of yourself!"
Lin Dongmei hid the purse in her arms and turned away.
Yu Qiutao's eyes were blank as she pondered over Yu Shicheng's words.
The eldest master won’t live long, and his wife has no children. If she gives birth to a son, he must be registered under the name of the original wife. What should he do then?
As she thought about it, she clasped her hands together and prayed that the baby in her belly was a girl.
