Chapter 26 is really good

   Only then did Xie let go of his hand, and kept wiping away his tears.

   "Is my grandfather better?"

Mrs. Xie shook her head, her eyes were very sad, "I took a lot of this medicine, but it didn't get better. The cough has become worse these two days! A Tao, don't blame me, I really can't do anything... And The Shen family is one of the most prosperous households in Shanghe Village, and your mother-in-law is famously kind-hearted, so don't...don't be confused, okay?"

   "Well, I know." Ji Zhao nodded obediently, "Don't worry."

  Ji Zhao took out the one or two pieces of silver from his waist and handed it to Mrs. Xie's palm, "I only have these on me, you can make do with it first, and when I earn money in the future, I can change to another doctor for you."

   "A Tao, grandma is really sorry for you..." Xie lowered his head and cried again, but he clenched the two pieces of silver tightly in his hands, reluctant to let go.

   "I'm going to see the Lord, and I'll come back to see you in two days."

  Ji Zhao didn't want to hear Mrs. Xie crying anymore, so she turned around and went to the east room, and saw Mr. Ji lying on the kang.

   "A Tao is back..." Mr. Ji struggled to get up from the kang.

   "Master, are you okay?" Ji Zhao hurried forward and put the pillow behind him.

   "Cough cough... I... cough cough..." Mr. Ji coughed again, coughing sharply and wheezing.

  Ji Zhao quickly poured a glass of water and handed it to him. Mr. Ji took a sip carefully and shook his head.

   "Master, can you drink more?" Ji Zhao persuaded softly.

"No," Mr. Ji shook his head and said, "Water is scarce, so you have to save some water. Your grandma is getting old, and you have to go to Shanghe Village to fetch water every day before dawn...It's useless if you are not sick. I won't sell you..."

  Master Ji grabbed her hand, his eyes flushed with guilt.

   It was Mr. Ji who picked up Ji Atao who was covered in blood on a trail outside Shiliu Village.

"Master, don't be sad, I'm really fine now." Ji Zhao smiled softly, "My mother-in-law is a very good person, and the Shen family is very kind, they are very kind to me, you must hurry up Get better!"

   "A Tao, you must take good care of yourself, your in-laws, and your husband. You have done these things well. The Shen family... cough cough cough... they... cough cough cough... will definitely treat you well, remember?"

  Master Ji looked into her eyes and said earnestly.

   "Well, I remember it all."

  Old Master Ji's teachings are all from Ji Zhao's point of view.

  Ji Zhao nodded obediently, and his eye sockets gradually turned red.

   On the way back to Shen's house, Ji Zhao kept his head down and said nothing.

  Zhao Lanhua glanced at her, but said nothing after all.

  It was half past noon, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law finally returned to the Shen family compound.

  At that time, Mrs. Shen had already prepared the family's lunch.

  She cooked multigrain steamed buns, fried a large bowl of shiitake mushrooms, and boiled duck eggs.

   "Mom? You're back? Let's have lunch!" Second Aunt Shen hurried forward and said cheerfully, "I've already delivered meals to my father and third brother!"

   "Thank you for your hard work." Zhao Lanhua nodded in satisfaction, then turned to look at Ji Zhao with a sad expression, and said in a warm voice, "A Tao, let's eat first!"

  Ji Zhao was worried about Mr. Ji's illness, so he had no appetite.

  After eating a steamed bun with mixed grains, she proposed to go back to the Earth Temple to rest.

  Zhao Lanhua did not stop her.
