Spring comes to the desperate place

"Plague?" Song Chunlin widened his eyes. He hadn't heard this word for many years. Modern medical technology has basically eradicated the plague. Except for some remote areas, the plague is almost extinct in modern human society.

Now, when he suddenly heard this word, Song Chunlin found it quite strange.

At that moment, he curiously asked Gu Fengyue what kind of plague it was.

Gu Fengyue handed the letter to Song Chunlin: "Brother said in it that most sick people suffer from vomiting and diarrhea. Some people with weak bodies can easily die from exhaustion due to diarrhea too many times."

When Song Chunlin heard this, he thought, isn’t this cholera?

He then told Gu Fengyue that the main route of transmission of cholera is unclean water and food, so as long as the sick people are separated from the healthy people, drinking water is boiled, and attention is paid to food hygiene, cholera can be easily controlled.

"Just boiling the water and drinking it can cure the disease?" Gu Fengyue was a little bit unbelievable.

Song Chunlin: "Did you know that diseases come from the mouth? After the flood, some livestock or people were drowned, and their bodies were soaked in the water, which became polluted. If people drank the polluted water without knowing it, it would be difficult for them not to get sick."

Finally, Song Chunlin added: "For diseases like plague, prevention is more important than cure. Rather than waiting until a major outbreak to diagnose and treat each patient, which is a waste of time and has little effect, it is better to focus on prevention. In any case, sick people must be isolated and their drinking water and food must be clean."

Gu Fengyue knew about this, so he hurriedly wrote a letter, listed all the plans for epidemic prevention and control, and ordered someone to send it to Yingchuan as quickly as possible.

Song Chunlin did not ask about the follow-up events. Anyway, not long after, he heard that the plague in Yingchuan had been brought under control.

Yingchuan is not far from here, and some people who married far away in Yingchuan also fled back to the capital after a long journey, so the nearest Yongle Village is quite lively, and people keep coming here to seek refuge with their relatives.

The Song family was one of the few families that had no relatives to rely on, and therefore they were able to enjoy a rare period of peace and quiet.

However, perhaps because they couldn't bear to see the Song family living in peace, the door of the Song family was slammed loudly early in the morning. Song Dazhuang rubbed his eyes and went to open the door. Unexpectedly, when he opened the door, he found a woman he didn't know very well in the village standing outside, with a mother and daughter behind her. Judging from their clothes, they both seemed to be ladies.

Song Dazhuang was not familiar with the woman surnamed Niu, and he did not know the young lady and her daughter at all, so he did not invite the three people into the house.

Aunt Niu greeted Song Dazhuang with a smile on her face, and then went straight to the point and said she wanted to see Song Amao.

Since they came to see Song Amao, Song Dazhuang naturally couldn't stop them, so he let the three of them in.

Aunt Niu had been to the Song family before. After entering the house, she looked straight ahead. However, the mother and daughter behind her were different. Their eyes kept roaming around and they pointed at the house, and their expressions seemed to be extremely satisfied.

Song Dazhuang thought the two people looked strange, but he didn't think much about it. He just went into the kitchen and called Song Amuo out.

When Amao Song saw that it was Aunt Niu, she was unsure what the other party wanted to do, so she just exchanged a few polite words. While the mother and daughter were talking, they kept looking up and down the house. Seeing their expressions becoming more and more satisfied, Amao Song's heart was beating fast.

Just as the daughter stood up and walked towards the inner room, Aunt Song finally spoke.

"I wonder what kind of relatives these two are of Aunt Niu?"

When Aunt Niu saw that the child wanted to go into the inner room, she felt that it was a bit inappropriate and had to call him back.

The little girl seemed a little reluctant, and walked back angrily, saying the first words since entering the house: "Cousin, I just want to see which room we live in, is that not okay?"

After these words were spoken, not only Aunt Niu was stunned, but Grandma Song was also stunned. Only the mother didn't care about her daughter's shocking words. She picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea in a pretentious manner. The tea was sweet, but she thought it had no taste.

"I'm telling you, Auntie Song, are you going to treat us with this kind of simple water?"

After hearing what she said, Song A-mo looked embarrassed. Just as she was about to open her mouth to explain, the woman said, "Don't do this in the future. I'm used to strong flavors. I need to add more tea powder. This little bit of tea flavor is just enough for me to rinse my mouth."

At this moment, not only Song A'mo was petrified, but Aunt Niu also wished she could crawl into the ground. She knew that this cousin was used to a good life in Yingchuan, but this was not her home after all. She started to give orders to the host family as soon as she came here. Did she still want to stay here?

Aunt Niu anxiously pulled her cousin's hand, but the other party did not appreciate it and continued to talk to herself.

"I heard you just moved in, and I thought your house was very simple. Now it seems to be OK. Let me live in the east room reluctantly. Remember to change the bedding for me. I don't like to share a quilt with others, and my daughter doesn't like it either. I think your east wing is nice, so please make it available for my daughter to live in. As for you, just squeeze in. You are all peasants, and it would be a waste for you to live in such a nice house."

Aunt Niu was so embarrassed now that she wished there was a crack in the ground for her to crawl into.

Song A-mo finally came to her senses. This woman wanted to live in her house and even wanted to live in the master bedroom and force their whole family to live with her?

I've seen outrageous things, but never anything so outrageous. Song A'mo took a deep breath, calmed herself down, and then started cursing without mercy.

"I'm wondering if you didn't rinse your mouth before going out this morning. Your breath is so bad that I can smell it from three miles away. And you want the east room and the east wing. Bah! You're so ugly, but you're dreaming. This is my home and I'm the master. You guys, please go out and take a piss and look in the mirror to see if your face is as big as a millstone. It's really funny. At my age, this is the first time I've encountered such disgusting people like you. Get out! Get out! Our family doesn't welcome lunatics who occupy our home!"

Song Qin, who had been waiting outside, also ran out, and together with Song A-mo, they beat the three men out. Aunt Niu's cousin had never seen such a scene before, and she kept shouting, "Bitch, just wait for me!"

They called Aunt Niu for help, but Aunt Niu ignored them and even helped Song Qin and the others pull the mother and daughter towards the door.

The two of them were pulled and staggered, and on their way out they tripped over the threshold and both fell to the ground. The daughter happened to fall on her mother, causing her mother to scream like a pig being slaughtered.

Song Qinshi and Song A'mo quickly closed the door and refused to open it even though the mother and daughter were cursing outside.

Aunt Niu thought they were embarrassing and was too lazy to help them up, so she just walked away.

Aunt Niu's cousin couldn't swallow this humiliation and yelled at Aunt Niu to come back.

Aunt Niu did come back, but as soon as she came back, she kicked my cousin, causing the woman who had just gotten up to sit back on the ground.

She pointed at Aunt Niu and cursed: "You little bitch, you disliked me when you were young, and now that I'm in trouble, you join others in bullying me. Oh, my life, why is it so miserable!"

"Mom!" The daughter also hugged her mother and cried together with grievance. Seeing the mother and mother crying so pitifully, outsiders who didn't know might really think that they had suffered a great injustice.

But Aunt Niu didn't buy it. She spat at the two of them:

"You still have the nerve to cry? You are the ones who have completely disgraced me. What did I tell you when I came here? What did you promise me? Humph, you showed your true colors as soon as you entered someone's house. I told you many times to be humble and modest. You are here to stay, not to show off. You still have the nerve to ask others to let you sleep in the main house. Let me ask you, where do you get the nerve to let the host give up the main house for you to live in?"

The woman seemed to know that she was in the wrong, so she changed the subject: "Well, if I don't live in the main house, where should I live? You also know that I have always lived in the main house at home. You want me to live somewhere else, I can't adapt..."

"You're still not used to it?" Aunt Niu really wanted to pry open this person's head to see if it was filled with shit instead of brains. How could she say such a thing? Aunt Niu, an outsider, felt ashamed for her. How could she still take it for granted?

"How many times have I told you that you are just staying here temporarily? What does it mean to stay here temporarily? It means that this place is not your home, not a place where you can do whatever you want. You are used to doing whatever you want in your own home, and my aunt has always given in to you. I never thought that I would indulge you and make you so ignorant of the world."

"Well, I'm used to it. Besides, the Song family looks down on me. Look at the tea they serve to guests. It's as clear as water. They have the nerve to serve it to me. I just made a few small requests. If he doesn't agree, we can discuss it. How can he just beat us mother and daughter out like this? Isn't it because he sees that I have no man to rely on and wants to bully me?"

As she spoke, she started to feel aggrieved again. There was a flood in Yingchuan, her home was flooded, and all her family members were drowned. Only she and her daughter escaped. The two of them traveled all the way back to their hometown. Needless to say, she felt very sad. However, she seemed to have forgotten that her family could tolerate her, but others would not and could not indulge her willfulness.

Aunt Niu was so disappointed that she explained to her cousin: "It was you who refused to get married and insisted on getting married. Now that your brother-in-law is gone, do you think you can show off in other people's homes? You even said that people look down on you. Look at yourself. What do you say and do that people look down on you?"

The three people outside argued for a long time, and their voices were so loud that it was hard for the Song family not to hear them. During breakfast, the family sat at the dining table, and Aunt Song was still a little upset.

"Listen, how can you stay at someone else's house like this? I'm old enough to know that I have to be careful when I go to someone else's house, but she came up and said that our tea is not good, and even gave me a menu. I think she is really arrogant. Her daughter is so old, but she is so shameless. The daughter she taught is not a good one. Humph, I wonder which girl or boy will be willing to marry her in the future!"

"Not being able to marry a wife" was already considered a serious statement by Song A-mo. Everyone knew that Song A-mo was furious. In fact, they were also very angry. If you want to stay here, will you die if you talk nicely? If you come and ask people to move out, they will be beaten out in anyone's house. If they didn't hurt people, it was already considered that Song A-mo and Song Qinshi showed mercy.

Grandpa Song soothed Aunt Song: "Yes, yes, don't get angry over these irrelevant people. Your health is more important. Come on, have breakfast first. You've been scolding all morning, you must be hungry."

"Eat whatever you want, I'm so angry!"

Song A-mo was full of anger early in the morning. She didn't know when the three people outside left. Anyway, the Song family members went in and out through the back door today, and didn't care whether the other party was blocking the door or not.

Song Chunlin quietly extended a thread of mental power and followed the mother and daughter. Seeing them return to the village, Aunt Niu was soft-hearted and couldn't bear to ignore them completely. She took the two of them to find the clan leader, who stepped forward and allocated an old, uninhabited house for the two of them to live in.

Although the house was small and old, it was more than enough for the mother and daughter to live in. Song Chunlin watched them move in with a look of disgust on their faces, and the daughter seemed reluctant to leave her own house.

"Mom, this place is too small. It's not as spacious and bright as the Song family's. Look at this yard, it's all grass. It's too ugly."

Aunt Niu's cousin said angrily, "You want to live in a big house, but don't I want to live in a big house? It's all that old man's fault. Living in his house will cost him his life. He's watched so closely, he deserves to be a peasant for the rest of his life."

"But mom, their breakfast smells so good." The girl smacked her lips, feeling a little regretful that she didn't eat the breakfast.

Her mother also swallowed her saliva. It must be said that although the tea was as clear as water, her throat felt very comfortable after drinking it. It had a completely different taste from the tea she had drunk in the past, and the clear tea seemed to quench her thirst more.

"It's all the Song family's fault. We almost had a big house. Don't let me run into him, old man!"

The woman behind him cursed very badly. Song Chunlin didn't expect her to be so shameless. Not only was she not ashamed of her thoughts at all, she even instigated her daughter to seduce Song Chunsheng.

Song Chunlin's eyes widened. His brother would only be fifteen next month, and his daughter would soon be seventeen or eighteen. At this age, both boys and girls would already be looking for someone to date, and yet they were actually starting to covet a minor!

Song Chunlin had the expression of an old man on the subway looking at his phone. His brother was a man. A young lady and a man? Who would be on top and who would be on the bottom in the future?

Fortunately, Song Chunsheng had to go to class on weekdays and would just stay at home and play during his days off. There was no possibility of him meeting the mother and daughter at all. This made Song Chunlin secretly relieved, otherwise he would be really afraid that he would do something unjust.
