Dong left quickly and returned quickly. She didn't even go inside the house; she went straight to the backyard to borrow a place from the inn to brew medicine. It was at this moment that the waiter arrived, looking very worried.
"This child is so young, yet has such a high fever. We need to be careful."
"Ah."
“Our boss said that many children this young die young, and since we are in business, we are afraid something bad might happen.”
Du Mingxian looked up at him with a questioning gaze. The waiter smiled guiltily, "Well... Madam, we didn't mean to kick you out. It's just that we need to do business here. What if... what if something happens to the child in our shop? Will we still be able to keep this shop open?"
"Who would want to stay at our inn anymore?"
She understood; they wanted to kick them out because they were worried that Dong Chengbao had a fever and might die in their inn, affecting their business.
Du Mingxian felt a little uncomfortable. If she had talked to her nicely, she could have accepted it. But the child had just started to have a fever, and Dong Shi had gone to brew medicine. The owner of the house didn't even consider what would happen to the child after taking the medicine. He just said that he was afraid the child would die in the inn and bring him bad luck.
She thought the owner and waiter were the real bad luck.
“We checked in yesterday, and it’s not time to check out yet. Are you trying to kick us out? Fine, we’ll leave if you refund our money for last night, and we’ll leave now.”
Her attitude was firm, and the waiter said somewhat awkwardly, "Madam, I also work for the master. This is the master's idea, not mine. If you say that, the master will be unhappy and will punish me."
"That's your problem. My demand is that we either leave when it's time to go, or if you want us to leave now, then refund our room fee from yesterday."
Before the waiter could say anything more, Du Mingxian waved her hand and said, "Go. If you're having trouble, go find your master and relay my message."
"People who run businesses are afraid of taking on even the smallest responsibility; how can that be acceptable?"
"And when we came to stay, you were so happy, but now that our child has just developed a fever, you want us to leave. It's not even time yet, and you want us to leave. Is this kicking us out?"
"We won't leave unless you return our money."
The waiter was also quite troubled by Du Mingxian's stubbornness. The boss had sent him up to handle this matter, but he hadn't done a good job. If he went back down later, the boss would definitely be angry. Sigh...
Seeing that the waiter had left, Du Mingxian didn't move. She continued to change Dong Chengbao's handkerchief. After a while, Dong Shi brought over the medicine. "I'll feed him."
"I'll hold my aunt and feed him. I think it'll be difficult for Chengbao to take medicine with such a high fever."
"well."
Madam Dong was now incredibly grateful that she had met Du Mingxian on the road, otherwise... otherwise, who knows what would have become of her grandmother and granddaughter.
Du Mingxian helped Xiao Chengbao up, letting the child lean against her chest so it would be easier to feed him. Dong Shi fed him the medicine little by little, but very little of it went in and much of it spilled out.
The more Dong Shi fed him, the more tears she shed. Seeing that Dong Chengbao couldn't drink the medicine, she was really anxious.
"Chengbao, please drink some, okay? Chengbao, I'm begging you, please drink some. There's no one left in the family. I sold all your aunts, your father is gone, your mother is gone, your grandfather is gone, and there are only you and me left. You can't even drink your medicine. How am I supposed to live?"
"My little Chengbao, please drink some medicine, okay? Once you drink it, you can do whatever you want from now on. Grandma promises you now, alright?"
Hearing Dong's slightly choked voice, Du Mingxian felt sad, but she was still relatively optimistic about Chengbao's condition, since she had already given him fever-reducing medicine.
Seeing that she could only manage to feed the patient two or three spoonfuls of the medicine, while the rest was spilled, Dong felt very heavy-hearted.
Du Mingxian also felt that this wouldn't work, so she could only speak up to send Dong Shi away, "Auntie, a lot of the medicine has been spilled. Go and get another bowl, we'll feed him more and let Chengbao drink more. He'll definitely be fine."
"Yes, yes, the medicine is still being brewed. This is the first batch. I was in a hurry, so I brought it up first." As she spoke, Madam Dong wiped away her tears and quickly carried the bowl of medicine downstairs.
After Dong left, Du Mingxian touched Dong Chengbao's forehead, which was still very hot. Without much hesitation, she took some spiritual water from her space and dripped it into Dong Chengbao's mouth.
“Little friend, it’s up to fate. Your whole family is gone. Your grandma is counting on you now. You are her hope for survival. If something happens to you, your grandma might go with you. Then there will be no way to find out what happened to your aunt.”
"If you feel sorry for your grandma, just sleep for a while and wake up obediently. As long as you take the medicine, you'll be fine in a little while."
She rambled on for a long time until Madam Dong brought out the second bowl, which was overflowing.
“You hold him, and I'll feed him.”
"Okay." Du Mingxian continued to hold him, and Madam Dong fed him the medicine. This time, just like before, more medicine was sprinkled in and less was drunk.
However, there are many medicines, and the total dosage is enough for someone to drink some of them.
Du Mingxian had been observing the child. After Dong Shi fed him the medicine, she touched the child's forehead again. "Auntie, Chengbao's fever seems to have gone down a bit."
Madam Dong stepped forward and touched it, her eyes filled with surprise and delight. "It has gone down a bit. It was so bad before, but it's much better now. The medicine must be working. The medicine must be working."
Du Mingxian didn't say that it must have been the Western medicine she had taken that had taken effect. The medicine from Dong's was given in two separate doses, and quite a lot of it was spilled. It was also just given, so it was impossible for it to take effect so quickly.
Just as the two people in the room were overjoyed, the waiter came in again, his face no longer smiling as before. He went straight to the point and said, "You two should pack up and leave. Your child is burning up like this. If you stay at our inn any longer, who knows what will happen to him? Our host is kind-hearted and is willing to refund part of your money."
"Partial? You want us to leave before the time is up? If you don't give us a full refund, I'll go outside and shout something right now, let everyone judge this, and see who dares to stay at your house again."
"No, no, this is not something to be discussed." The waiter was terrified when he heard that Du Mingxian wanted to do this. They were a shop, not like these customers. If they shouted, where would they get any business in the future?
