Travel to the mountains and make a fortune in silence

Mu Nan quietly stayed by her side, while Wang Cuiying boiled a kettle of water and carefully brought it in, letting her son gently wipe her body.

She hurried back to the front yard to wait for Dr. Liu's arrival.

"What on earth is going on? Why did she suddenly develop a fever?" Zhou Shi was also awakened from her sleep and sat anxiously in the courtyard waiting.

"Mother, why are you up too? Qing'er must have caught a cold from being soaked in the rain."

"Is it serious?" Old Man Mu walked out of the room, his face full of worry.

"Her forehead was burning hot, and she kept coughing. This child is going to suffer a lot," Wang Cuiying said with heartache.

"Brother and sister-in-law, is Qing'er sick?" Mu Yan, also wearing a coat, poked her head out of the room.

"Oh dear! Please don't come out, go inside and rest." Zhou hurriedly pushed her daughter back into the room.

Wang Cuiying chimed in, "We're here, Mu Yan, you should go and rest! The night is bitterly cold, and you've only just recovered, so don't catch a cold."

Mu Yan had no choice but to go to her room to rest. Zhou Shi gently closed the door for her. Although Mu Yan's health had improved significantly, she still needed to take good care of herself for a period of time.

"Mother, you should go and rest too," Wang Cuiying urged Zhou Shi as Mu Yan lay down again.

"Don't worry about me. It's not too late to rest after the doctor comes to examine me. How can I be at ease now? Mu Nan is such a child. He didn't even know to come home earlier when it was about to rain. It's fine if he is strong, but how can Qing'er's frail body withstand such heavy rain? She's really suffering!"

Even after returning to her room, Zhou couldn't fall asleep, so she decided to wait for Doctor Liu in the courtyard. While waiting, she scolded her eldest grandson, and her heartache for her granddaughter-in-law grew stronger.

"Cough cough cough..." Wang Qing'er lay on the bed, her face flushed an abnormal red. She coughed incessantly in a daze. She felt a terrible headache, a terrible throat, and pain all over.

Is he going to die again? Will he return to the previous timeline after he dies?

"Qing'er, just bear with it a little longer, the doctor will be here soon." Mu Nan sat by the bed and kept wiping her body, hoping she would feel more comfortable.

In less than a quarter of an hour, Doctor Liu arrived. After taking Wang Qing'er's pulse, he stroked his gray beard and said, "There's nothing serious. She's just caught a cold. I'll prescribe some antipyretics and a prescription for treating the cold. She'll recover after a few days of rest."

After writing down two prescriptions, Dr. Liu instructed, "This one is for reducing fever. Once the fever subsides, you don't need to take it anymore. Take this one for three days and then see how it goes."

"Thank you, Dr. Liu," Mu Nan said sincerely, and paid the consultation fee.

When Dr. Liu saw that the consultation fee had doubled, he hurriedly declined to accept it.

"Dr. Liu, please accept this. It's the middle of the night, and I'm troubling you to come and treat my daughter-in-law." Wang Cuiying and Dr. Liu went back and forth, declining each other's offer.

Seeing that the two were pushing and shoving each other back and forth inappropriately, Zhou said, "Brother Liu, please accept it. It's late at night, and you're quite old; it's not easy for you."

Only then did Dr. Liu accept the money.

Mu Xiao and Wu Zihao went with Doctor Liu to get the medicine and came back.

Although Dr. Liu's family didn't have any expensive medicines, they did have common fever reducers and medicines for treating colds.

The medicine was quickly brought back, and Wang Cuiying took the fever reducer to brew.

Wang Cuiying quickly brought in a bowl of herbal medicine and said to her son, "Help Qing'er up and feed her the medicine."

Mu Nan gently helped her up and held her in his arms. "Qing'er, it's time to take your medicine."

Wang Qing'er tried to open her eyes, but felt that her eyes were very hot and painful. "Brother Mu Nan, I feel uncomfortable."

"You won't feel uncomfortable if you drink the medicine." Mu Nan scooped up a small spoonful, blew on it, and fed it into her mouth. Wang Qing'er obediently swallowed the medicine.

Soon, Wang Qing'er finished the bowl of medicine and then asked for water. Wang Cuiying quickly brought her another bowl of warm water, which Mu Nan then fed her spoonful by spoonful.

Mu Nan put Wang Qing'er on the bed and covered her with a blanket. Wang Cuiying looked at her daughter-in-law lying on the bed with some heartache, "Take good care of her. We can't let her go up the mountain again."

"Mother, I know. You've been busy all night, so go and get some rest. I'll take good care of her," Mu Nan urged Wang Cuiying to go and rest.

"I still need to go and brew some medicine for Qing'er to treat her cold, and I'll feed it to her later!" Wang Cuiying walked out of the room to close the door for them, and then went back to the kitchen to brew the medicine for her cold.

Mu Nan saw his wife lying on the bed with her face flushed, so he sat by the bedside and watched over her, wiping her face with warm water from time to time.

Slowly, Wang Qing'er's fever finally subsided, but she still coughed incessantly.

Wang Cuiying brought her another bowl of medicine and fed it to her.

When Wang Qing'er woke up in the morning, she found that her nose was stuffy, her head was sore, her throat was sore, and her whole body ached. "I'm so thirsty, I really want to drink water."

Seeing that the man beside her was still asleep, she struggled to get up to pour some water. "Qing'er, are you awake? Is there anything else that's bothering you?"

Mu Nan, still half asleep, asked her a whole bunch of questions. He had just lain down for a nap.

Wang Qing'er didn't expect that Mu Nan would wake up just because she moved slightly.

"Brother Mu Nan, I want to drink water," Wang Qing'er said in a hoarse voice, her throat hurting every time she opened her mouth.

She really didn't want to move, so since he was awake, she asked them to help her pour some water.

"I'll get you some, you lie down!" Mu Nan got out of bed and poured a cup of warm water from the kettle in the yard.

Mu Nan was worried that Wang Qing'er would want to drink water when she woke up, so she kept the water warm on the small charcoal stove.

Wang Qing'er took a small sip; the water temperature was just right, but her throat hurt every time she swallowed.

Even though her throat hurt, she had to drink it. So she decided to go all in and just gulp down the whole bowl of warm water. The warm water soothed her throat, and she immediately felt much better.

Seeing that Mu Nan was about to get up, Wang Qing'er quickly grabbed his hand and pleaded, "Brother Mu Nan, stay with me a little longer." Although she had been in a daze all night, she knew that Mu Nan had taken care of her all night and must not have slept well, so she wanted him to sleep a little longer.

"Okay." Mu Nan lay down again, and Wang Qing'er quickly snuggled into his arms.

"Qing'er, is there anything else that's bothering you?" Mu Nan asked with concern.

"Headache, sore throat, my whole body aches!" Wang Qing'er sniffled pitifully.

"It's all my fault for not taking you down the mountain sooner, causing you to fall and get caught in the rain." Mu Nan's tone was full of self-blame.

"Brother Mu Nan, how can you blame me? It's my own fault for not wanting to come down." Indeed, Wang Qing'er was unwilling to go down the mountain and kept climbing. She found that once she got up the mountain, she didn't want to go home.

Over the next few days, Wang Qing'er stayed in her own courtyard to recuperate, her whole body aching, and she lay in bed for three days.

Mu Nan brought in all the food and drinks, but Wang Qing'er really had no appetite. Mu Nan had to coax her to eat a few bites at each meal.
