Chapter 332 Grandmother is Sick
And sure enough, Grandma Xiao and Aunt Xiao's wish came true.
Grand Tutor Ji was very satisfied with Xiao Sizhe, and their marriage was completed in just three months.
Xiao Sizhe, the biggest troublemaker in the Xiao family, finally got married, and the Xiao family breathed a sigh of relief. They were really afraid that Xiao Sizhe would remain a bachelor for the rest of his life.
Of the Xiao family's sons, only Xiao Sining and Xiao Siyu remain.
However, since Xiao Siyu is taking the imperial examination this year, no one is urging him to get married, which makes things difficult for Xiao Sining. All the women in the family are eyeing Xiao Sining, which scares her so much that she hides outside and doesn't dare to come back.
Another good thing happened this year: Xiao Sizhe's official rank was promoted.
Xiao Siyue is now fourteen years old and will be of marriageable age next year. Lin Qin is paying more attention to Xiao Siyue and often asks her to handle household affairs, although these are easy for Xiao Siyue.
However, Xiao Siyue followed Lin Qin very obediently. There weren't many people in the Xiao family, so they weren't difficult to manage, and she got the hang of it in no time.
Xiao Siyue then persuaded Lin Qin to stop learning, and Lin Qin, seeing that there was nothing more to teach, stopped pressuring her.
When Xiao Sining returned from outside, he told her that he had found a hot spring resort in the suburbs where she could soak in the hot springs.
"Fifth Brother, whose house is that hot spring resort? Can outsiders go there?" Xiao Siyue was very interested in this and wanted to go and take a look.
"No, but the manager of that hot spring resort said the resort is going to be sold. Yue'er, do you want it?" He was very interested when he first heard about it, but the people in the resort wouldn't let him in.
He casually remarked that he wished he could have such a estate, and the gatekeeper immediately asked him if he wanted to buy it.
He wanted to buy it, but unfortunately he was short of money. Although the estate was remote, the price was extremely high.
"Really? Buy it! Of course we have to buy it! Fifth Brother, I'm leaving this matter to you. Once you buy the estate, we'll go there and have some fun." Xiao Siyue was very happy; the hot spring would be very useful.
Afterwards, Xiao Siyue gave Xiao Sining some money and asked him to take care of it.
Xiao Siyue was thinking that after buying the estate, she would take her grandparents with her, as they hadn't been out for a long time.
Unexpectedly, before Xiao Siyue could even speak, Old Lady Xiao fell ill.
It's been several days and I'm still not getting better. I can't eat, and a couple of days ago I was in a semi-comatose state.
Her once rosy face was now deathly pale, and she looked much thinner.
The doctor had seen me before and said it was epigastric fullness.
Grandma Xiao is getting on in years; she is already sixty-four years old this year. This age may not be very old in modern times, but it was considered very old in ancient times.
As people get older, they experience indigestion and a slower metabolism, causing food to accumulate in their stomachs.
Over the years, the family's conditions have improved a lot. The two elderly people are in a good mood because they have a good life and nothing major has happened at home. So they rarely get sick. But we never expected it to be so serious this time. It really scared everyone in the family.
Looking at Old Lady Xiao lying on the bed with her eyes closed, Xiao Siyue felt extremely sad.
"Grandma, you need to get better soon. Once you're better, I'll take you to the estate. I have a hot spring resort outside the capital. We can go there to soak in the hot springs. I've heard the scenery on the mountain is especially beautiful, and we can enjoy the view." Xiao Siyue murmured to herself as she leaned over the bed.
"Okay, Grandma... you'll get better soon." Grandma Xiao's weak voice reached Xiao Siyue's ears.
"Grandma, you're awake. Did I wake you up?"
"No, Grandma woke up on her own." Grandma Xiao forced a smile.
"My dear wife, you must get better soon. You can't leave this old man like me alone," Old Master Xiao pleaded, his voice choked with emotion.
His wife's illness really terrified him. How could someone who was always so energetic suddenly fall ill, and so seriously? Countless bad thoughts flashed through his mind. If his wife really passed away, he would go with her.
"What... what nonsense are you talking about, you old man? This old woman hasn't lived enough yet." Old Mrs. Xiao glared fiercely at Old Mr. Xiao. She didn't want him to die.
It was just an illness, but look how scared this old man is.
"Yes, yes, we still have to live well, and we still have to watch our Yue'er get married and have children." Old Master Xiao was happy to see that Old Lady Xiao's voice seemed louder and she seemed more energetic.
"Grandma, please lie down first. I'll go get the doctor to come and take another look at you."
"Yes, Yue'er is right, let's take another look."
The doctor stroked his white beard, placed his hand on Old Lady Xiao's pulse, and after a long while said, "Old Madam's health has improved. The medicine I prescribed before is no longer suitable. I will prescribe another dose later. Take it for a few days and you will recover. Remember, after you recover, do not eat too many tonics. Eat some light food. Once you are fully recovered, you can eat normally again."
"Thank you so much, doctor. We've got it all figured out," Lin Qin quickly agreed.
The Xiao family members were also very happy, as they had been extremely worried these past few days.
"Mom, that's great! You were so worried about me." Uncle Xiao strode to the bedside, his eyes red, and knelt down beside it. Xiao Siyue quickly made way for him.
Grandpa Xiao looked at everyone in the room, then at his good-for-nothing eldest son: "Alright, eldest son, go see the doctor off. Don't disturb your mother's rest. Everyone else, go out too."
With so many people gathered here, he felt incredibly bored.
"Yes, Dad, I'm going right now." Uncle Xiao quickly got up.
"Mother, you should rest well. We're leaving now." Xiao Qinian said to his mother and went out first.
A few days later, Old Mrs. Xiao's health gradually recovered, and she became much more energetic and was able to get out of bed and walk around. However, she had lost a lot of weight after being sick.
However, the doctor said that Old Lady Xiao cannot eat too many supplements now and should mainly eat light foods.
"Grandma, you're finally all better." Xiao Siyue was overjoyed to see her grandmother, who had fully recovered.
When her grandmother was seriously ill before, she was really worried, afraid that something might really happen to her grandmother.
"Yue'er, you must have been so worried about her before, but Grandma is all better now." Old Mrs. Xiao looked at Xiao Siyue with affection.
"It's good that Grandma is alright." Xiao Siyue thought to herself. From now on, she would ask the doctor to check the pulse of her grandparents every two months, just in case. They are not young anymore, and if they get sick, it will be very serious. It's good to take precautions in advance.
Grandpa, in particular, is five years older than Grandma, even though Er'er looks perfectly fine right now.
