Chapter 8 Waiting for him to starve to death, the Ministry of Rites' residence

After being led out by the servants, Xu Huai'an only had time to grin at the fourth brother before he closed his eyes, swayed, and fell down.

The fourth brother caught him quickly.

The fourth child was small and thin, and it looked like he was about to fall if I held him.

Yu Wanwan quickly took Xu Huai'an from Lao Si's hands.

She looked at the servant: "May I take him with me?"

Although she wasn't a doctor, seeing Xu Huai'an suddenly faint, she had a guess in her mind.

It's very likely that they're hungry.

The fourth brother's worries were justified; Xu Huai'an might very well not be able to get any food at the Duke of Dingguo's mansion.

The servant relayed what Yao had said.

Yu Wanwan didn't say anything more. She hugged Xu Huai'an and turned to leave.

The fourth and eldest brothers quickly followed behind her.

The fourth brother was afraid that Yu Wanwan wouldn't be able to hold Xu Huai'an like he did, so he stood beside her, helping to support Xu Huai'an's head, and said cautiously, "Grandmother, when we get home, I'll eat less and share my portion with Huai'an."

Yu Wanwan shook her head: "No need, the food the gods gave me is more than enough. Even if there were a few more Huai'an, it would still be enough to eat."

I felt a little touched.

This kid and Huai'an have a really good relationship.

He would rather go without eating it himself than not share it with Huai'an.

Yu Wanwan carried Xu Huai'an out of the alley, her arms were already exhausted.

She handed him directly over to the guards who were with them.

She tried to recall the first aid methods for patients with hypoglycemia who fainted.

The first step is to check the patient's consciousness by gently patting them or calling out to them to see if they can still respond consciously.

If the patient is conscious and can swallow on their own, they should be given sugar immediately. This can be done by giving them sugary drinks, sugar cubes, syrups, candies, etc.

Yu Wanwan didn't have any sugary drinks, candies, or syrups.

Only White Rabbit milk candy is available.

She gently patted Xu Huai'an's cheek and then had Lao Si call out to him loudly from the side.

"Huai'an, Huai'an, Huai'an, wake up, Huai'an, wake up quickly."

"Grandmother, look! Huai'an's eyes are moving. Is Huai'an about to wake up?"

Yu Wanwan confirmed that Xu Huai'an had indeed moved and was still conscious.

She unwrapped a White Rabbit milk candy and held it to Xu Huai'an's lips.

***

After seeing Yu Wanwan and the others off at the Dingguo General's Mansion, the servants returned to report to Madam Zhu, Xu Huai'an's stepmother.

"Xu Huai'an has fainted?"

Mrs. Zhu held a bowl of millet porridge and drank it with great relish.

It was as if they were enjoying the finest delicacies.

"It's faster than I expected."

She raised her eyebrows and poured another bowl of millet porridge into Xu Huaicheng's and Xu Yingying's bowls.

One of them is her son, and the other is her daughter; they are Xu Huai'an's half-brother and half-sister.

Unlike Xu Huai'an, the two were wearing clothes made of brocade, and their clothes looked much cleaner than those of ordinary people.

Both of them had some flesh on their faces.

Xu Yingying asked Zhu Shi with surprise, "Mother, is Xu Huai'an going to die? After he starves to death, will my brother and I be able to drink half a bowl more porridge every time we eat?"

Madam Zhu nodded: "It should be soon. After he dies, his share of the grain will be yours, brother and sister."

"Really? That's great."

Xu Yingying was so happy she wanted to dance.

Mrs. Zhu affectionately patted her dirty head.

The people from the General's Mansion arrived just in time; otherwise, if the Duke had known he had fainted, he certainly wouldn't have let it go unchecked.

Then we might have to call in the imperial physician again, wasting the family's medicinal herbs and food.

Now that he's in the general's mansion, Xu Huai'an can only wait to die.

***

Xu Huai'an was indeed so hungry that he fainted due to low blood sugar.

He woke up after eating only half a White Rabbit milk candy.

After figuring out what had happened, he insisted on walking on his own.

The fourth brother gave him the remaining half of the milk candy and let him eat it himself.

"Haoyu, what kind of candy is this? It's so delicious, sweet and milky."

The two good buddies got together and started chatting as if no one else was around.

"My grandmother said this is White Rabbit milk candy. Look, there's a White Rabbit on it."

"Did the gods really give your family a lot of food? Would it be inappropriate for me to go home with you? Maybe I should go back to the Duke's mansion instead."

"If I go with you to your house and eat all your food, and your grandmother goes crazy again like before, then you'll be in the same terrible situation as before."

Yu Wanwan was looking at the points that the system had just awarded her.

Hearing Xu Huai'an's words, the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.

Sure enough, it was the very wise Huai'an that Lao Si had described.

They have a rich imagination and excellent logic.

The fourth brother said firmly, stretching out his hand and drawing a big circle: "No, our family has so much food right now. Grandmother said that even if we finish eating it all, the gods will give us more. Even if many of you went together, we still wouldn't be able to finish it all."

"Don't worry, come home with me. Grandma said that after we drink white rice porridge for two more days, we'll be able to eat rice."

They even let us open canned food! Do you know what canned food is? We just ate canned luncheon meat before we left. I've never eaten such delicious meat before.

“We still have water at home, but there isn’t much right now. Grandma said that there will be more water in a few days, and then you can take a bath.”

"Oh, right, I have a White Rabbit milk candy here. I saved it for you. Eat it quickly."

Yu Wanwan raised an eyebrow.

It turns out that he had kept the candy he was given before because he couldn't bear to eat it and wanted to give it to Xu Huai'an.

Xu Huai'an didn't stand on ceremony with the fourth brother.

"When I have something delicious in the future, I'll save it for you too."

He looked at Lao Si with bright eyes, then glanced furtively at Yu Wanwan.

Ever since Yu Wanwan married into the General's Mansion, he felt a little uneasy every time he went there.

Now, listening to what the fourth brother said, I actually started to look forward to it.

When Xu Huai'an arrived at the general's mansion and saw the rice and water in the storeroom, he was even more shocked than he had imagined.

This is even better than the days before the famine.

Yu Wanwan came over, intending to pat his head, but after looking at his greasy, dirty hair, she chose to withdraw her hand.

"You've been hungry for too long, and your stomach isn't in good shape. Like everyone else, you should drink some rice porridge to soothe your stomach first."

"Once my stomach has recovered, I can eat white rice again."

"The porridge in the kitchen will take a while to cook. You should eat some bread and drink some milk to sweeten your tummy first."

Yu Wanwan handed a small bread roll and a carton of milk to Xu Huai'an.

Xu Huai'an then settled down in the general's mansion.

After eating, he followed the fourth brother to the flower bed to watch the servants of the mansion plant vegetables.

Beside the flower bed was the bathwater she and her grandsons had used for bathing.

Yu Wanwan: "..."

It's good that it wasn't wasted, and it's actually quite good that it wasn't used for washing dishes or vegetables.

She has plenty of food on hand right now; it's enough to feed just the people in the general's mansion for several months. Yu Wanwan repeatedly told everyone not to be stingy.

After lunch, the general's mansion, which had been eating only one meal a day for a long time, once again cooked a very thick porridge for dinner.

I also stir-fried two plates of pickled mustard greens, heated up a few braised eggs, fried two cans of luncheon meat, and fried a few sausages.

After enjoying the most satisfying meal in a long time, everyone was reluctant to burn off the food too quickly and went to bed early.

Yu Wanwan couldn't even find anyone to talk to, and there was no entertainment in ancient times.

I had no choice but to go to bed early, just like everyone else.

She touched the bracelet.

Looking at the system points section.

Six grandsons, plus Xu Huai'an.

Each person contributes 5 points.

There are only 35 points in total.

The road to upgrading is long and arduous.

The Office of the Minister of Rites.

"Mother, can I take my share of food to Sister Wanwan?"

"I saw Steward Zhou from the General's Mansion today, and he said that the General's Mansion has run out of food."

Ten-year-old Yu Chengcheng looked at her mother expectantly.

His mother slapped him across the face.

"Don't mention that madman again!"
