Zhou Yu nodded, “Yes, there is also medicine for treating typhoid fever.”
Yang Xi paused while organizing things, “You are really careful and thorough.”
Zhou Yu, “I just took advantage of being able to go out and do some work. You would make the same arrangements as I did.”
Yang Xi thought that Zhou Yu’s thoughts had changed a lot after his reincarnation into the modern world. When they were in ancient times, Zhou Yu was very nice to her and would talk to her about things.
It was just that Zhou Yu, as the eldest son, was used to calling the shots. Now Zhou Yu not only regards her as his wife but also as a partner for future joint efforts.
The conversation between the couple made Zhou Xiaomei look sideways. Girls were observant and now that they were out of danger, she realized that something was wrong with her brother and sister-in-law, but she couldn’t figure out what was wrong.
Yang Xi sorted out the things in the bag, covered her mother-in-law and son with thick quilts, and waited until Zhou Yu put on thick cotton clothes before asking, “Why did you ask the Wu family to buy these things?”
Zhou Yu smiled, “It can be considered as tit for tat. At that time, Wu Shan was beaten badly. I wanted to help him get a pass. With the pass, he can go into the city to do odd jobs during the day. Wu Shan was grateful and caught fish and sent it to his house. I learned where he worked from Butler Li.”
After a pause, he continued, “Yesterday I sent the servant away and went to look for Wu Shan myself. I gave him less than ten taels of silver and told him that we would come to find him. I was not sure if I could leave the city today, so I made an appointment with him to come to the city to look for me in two days if he did not see me.”
The reason why he sent the servant away was not because he did not trust him, but because his personal servant would definitely be questioned. Fortunately, the personal servant was not there when he rescued Wu Shan, so there was less risk of being exposed.
Little brother Zhou stared at his eldest brother’s eyes, “Brother, why did you let the Wu family dig a grave? Dad was fine at the time!”
Zhou Yu had a reason for making such an arrangement. “I originally wanted to hide the family’s money, but I didn’t expect it would be used to bury my father.”
Only then did the younger brother Zhou stop wondering. The Zhou family could not take away the money even if the family property was not confiscated. The eldest brother’s arrangement was correct. However, “Brother, aren’t we taking Dad back to our ancestral home?”
Ye Shi also looked at her son. She didn’t want her husband to be alone in the capital.
Yang Xi wanted to speak, but Zhou Yu motioned for him to speak. Yang Xi sighed inwardly. It was indeed not appropriate for her to speak. Whatever she said was wrong when it came to her father-in-law.
Zhou Yu said in a sad voice, “I also want to take Dad away, but the Xu family won’t let us go. If we don’t leave the city today, we won’t survive tonight. Dad would have wanted our whole family to be alive, not to be destroyed.”
They would be too conspicuous if they were traveling with the coffin!
Ye Shi closed her eyes in pain. Her husband would feel at ease only if their children and grandchildren were alive. Otherwise, she would not be able to face him in the underworld.
Zhou Yu added: “When we are safe, I will bring Dad back. I will definitely not let Dad be alone in the capital.”
After hearing this, Zhou Xiaodi stopped talking.
Yang Xi held the pottery pot and said, “I’ll boil some medicine for Mother first.”
After saying this, she was a little dumbfounded. She didn’t know how to make a fire. She was afraid of fire in modern times, so she always used an induction cooker to cook!
Zhou Yu took the pottery pot and said, “I’ll boil the medicine. You guys eat some dry food first.”
Yang Xi took out some dry food and distributed it to her mother-in-law and her younger brother and sister-in-law, then touched her son’s little face. The little guy had already fallen asleep in the quilt.
Turning around, Zhou Yu had already borrowed fire and dry firewood, and the water was not directly used by the snow.
Yang Xi looked at the rising flames and was surprised. She, who was afraid of fire and died in a sea of fire, was not afraid of fire in this life when she returned to ancient times. She could put dry firewood into the fire and was not afraid even when she was so close to it.
Zhou Yu had been observing his wife, and he was deeply impressed by how she was afraid of fire in modern times. He was happy to know that she was not afraid.
Yang Xi had a lot of questions to ask, but unfortunately, they didn’t have the chance to have a good chat, so he could only suppress what was in his heart.
The hut was very quiet, with only the sound of burning firewood. The temperature of the hut rose a little because of the fire. Brother Zhou and Sister Zhou were sitting on the meadow drowsy.
Not to mention, Yang Xi and Zhou Yu were also both extremely tired, and the only reason they were able to stay awake was through willpower.
“Ouch.”
Yang Xi and his wife were startled. They turned around and saw Zhou Xiaodi holding his stomach with his hands.
