Chapter 236 ·Epidemic

Tang held on for the whole morning and was exhausted when he returned to Li Xuetang. He rested for a long time before regaining his energy. Wu Ma stood by and asked uneasily, "Madam, what are you talking about treating the young master?"

Will you agree?"

Tang was not sure what Mrs. Bai would do, but her attitude was extremely determined, "No matter what, I will not leave Brother Zhi in this place of right and wrong. In the past, Yuan Pei couldn't feel it when he was alive, but now he can't."

I feel that everyone here is not simple, except for math

Schemes are schemes, and you can fight to the death for the slightest benefit. There is no kinship at all, brothers, friends, and brothers. If Brother Zhi grows up in this environment, he will definitely be a selfish and mercenary person in the future. I will never allow it.

This happens."

Wu Ma nodded after hearing this, "Compared to the Bai family, although our Tang family is a little lower, we have a harmonious family and do things fairly. If Brother Zhi can grow up under the hands of the old lady and uncle,

I dare not say anything else. When he grows up, he will definitely be a good, filial and sensible boy."

Mrs. Tang sighed, "When things have come to this point, there is no turning back. I only hope that Yuan Pei's spirit in heaven can bless us three mothers and make our future journey smoother without any more ups and downs."

Wu Ma said with tears in her eyes, "Madam, don't worry, Third Master will definitely bless you."

The two chatted for a while, and then Wang Dequan's voice came from the front door of Li Xuetang. Mrs. Tang glanced at Wu's mother and said, "Go and bring him in. I have something to ask him."

Wu Ma immediately agreed and hurried to the door.

Bai Yuanpei's death was too sudden. Everyone has too many questions about the cause of his death. However, since the person is already dead, it is meaningless to dwell on them. The most important thing is to put him to rest as soon as possible.

I wanted to sort out his funeral arrangements first.

What's more, things happened one after another on Tang's side, leaving her no time to think about these issues. Now that she has decided to leave the Tang family, Tang's heart gradually calmed down, and she was ready to ask Wang Dequan, at least to know what happened to her husband before his death.

Whatever words or last wishes she left behind, as a widow, she had to fulfill them for her husband.

Wang Dequan followed Wu Ma and walked in cautiously.

In the past, because he was Bai Yuanpei's steward, he often went in and out of Li Xuetang. Now that he saw the desolate courtyard, it was empty everywhere, not even a servant, and he couldn't help feeling uncomfortable.

If the third master saw this scene, I don’t know how he would be worried.

As soon as Wang Dequan saw Tang, he knelt down to say hello. Tang stopped him calmly, "There are no outsiders here, so there is no need to pay attention to these formalities. Just sit down."

Wang Dequan is older than Bai Yuanpei. After his trip to Chongqing, he looks more like he is more than ten years older. He has white hair on his temples and a stooped waist, which makes people feel pitiful. Wang Dequan behaves well.

The ground responded and sat down half sideways.

Tang didn't beat around the bush and asked him directly about Bai Yuanpei.

When he mentioned Bai Yuanpei, Wang Dequan couldn't stop crying, "It's all my fault. I didn't take good care of the third master..."

Wu Ma poured tea and brought it over. Seeing this, she hurriedly comforted her, "Manager Wang, please stop crying. Madam has gotten better recently. In the past, whenever she heard about the third master, she would cry non-stop. If you talk like this

, Madam, she may be feeling sad and sad. She is still pregnant and is most afraid of emotional ups and downs. Even if you think about the third master, you have to adjust your emotions well. "

When Wang Dequan heard this, he looked at Wu's mother gratefully and said, "Look at how heartless I am. I only care about my own sadness and ignore the mood of the third young lady." As he spoke, he wiped away his tears with his sleeves and said, "I must have

Madam Third Young Master also knows that she used to go to Chongqing.

As for the first branch shop, they all go along the Anhui and Hubei lines. There is also some odd property of our family on the other side of Wuchang, so you can take a look when passing by. But this time, the third master went to Zhejiang, Jiangxi, and Hunan.

This route, when I first heard about his decision, I thought

It was quite unexpected. Not only was this route a long detour, but the territory of Hunan was also unsafe. There were frequent exchanges of fire between armies, so it was not a suitable road. But before I could persuade him, the third master himself explained the purpose of this trip. It turned out that the third master wanted to

I will go to Jiangxi to see if I can harvest some rice.

To store grain for the Bai family. He also told me that wars are going on all over the place and people are struggling to make ends meet. Food prices will definitely continue to rise. If the Bai family can have some food in their hands, they will not only be able to protect themselves in the future, but also provide relief to the victims. It's totally true.

Take precautions to prevent problems before they happen.”

Tang felt extremely uncomfortable when she heard this.

Of the three sons of Mr. Bai, the eldest is more stable than flexible, and is not very adaptable. He can barely maintain the family business, but it is impossible to build up a new prosperous age by carrying on the past. The second master is cowardly and intoxicated.

Lustful, I only know how to live my life guarding the woman's nest every day, so I left

Women can't live, and they can't move when they see a good-looking woman. Only Bai Yuanpei is not only far-sighted and resourceful, but also has a foresight to be prepared for danger in times of peace. Mr. Bai likes him, not only because he is Yao'er, but also because of him.

His abilities are quite similar to his own when he was young.

Wang Dequan continued, "Unfortunately, a flood just occurred in Jiangxi, and many people died. As we walked along the road, there were many bones that were not buried in time, and there was a stench. I felt bad at the time,

The weather is hot and exposing the bones in this way is likely to cause epidemics. Unfortunately, the third master did not listen to my advice and insisted on

Chi took Gao An and I to stay there for seven or eight days, and harvested more than 70,000 tons of rice in total. When we left Jiangxi, Mr. San had some symptoms of diarrhea. We also specially invited the local doctor. At first, he said it was caused by water and soil.

The symptoms caused by not taking the medicine, and after taking two doses of medicine, an epidemic broke out in Jiangxi. We couldn't find the doctor, so we had to take Sanye to the hospital overnight.

I wanted to get to Chongqing as soon as possible. But on the way, the third master suddenly became ill. First he had a high fever, then he started vomiting, and later even bile was vomited out. After arriving in Chongqing, the shopkeeper of the branch hurriedly

A doctor was invited. After checking his pulse, the doctor said that Mr. San was probably infected with the epidemic. He also said that the Chinese medicine was too slow to come in.

We tried to find a way to invite a Western doctor to come and take a look. The Chongqing shopkeeper went out to make connections, and finally invited a foreign pastor from a local church. I couldn't understand what he said in a gibbering manner, and finally waved his hands and left. That day

The third master left at night without leaving a single word. But he left very quickly and didn't suffer much pain."

After he finished speaking, Mrs. Tang burst into tears.

Wu Ma came forward distressedly and held a handkerchief to wipe her tears. After Tang recovered for a long time, she asked again, "Where is Gao An? Is he back with you?"

Gao An was about the same age as Bai Yuanpei. He was restrained and polite, and was highly regarded by Bai Yuanpei. When he went to Chongqing this time, Gao An also went with him.

When Wang Dequan heard her mention Gao'an, he couldn't help but sigh and said, "On our way from Jiangxi to Chongqing, we passed through Hunan and happened to catch up with two groups of people fighting. Artillery fire roared and bullets were flying overhead. The rebels were about to

Our team was scattered. It was night again, and it was so dark that we couldn't see our fingers.

. I was flustered and scared, so I stayed in front of Third Master’s carriage the whole time, not caring about anyone else. After we passed through the firefight area, we counted the people and found that Gao An and the two boys were missing. Someone saw them vaguely in the dark.

Three of them were shot and fell down. At that time, they had no time to step forward to check, so they were probably killed by stray bullets."

After hearing this, Mrs. Tang was silent for a long time. After a long time, she said quietly, "In troubled times, everything is in chaos, so you should go out less often." Then she asked him, "The old lady didn't make things difficult for you, right?"

Wang Dequan saw that she was still concerned about his own safety at this time. He fell to the ground with gratitude and said with tears, "No. The old man didn't say anything. He was just called to ask questions one by one when he came back. After asking questions clearly, he let us

They all went down."

Tang felt relieved and asked, "What are your plans for the future?"

Wang Dequan had already heard about the Tang family, but he would not believe that the Tang family would have an affair with a second-class steward of the Bai family. When Bai Yuanpei was alive, he saw with his own eyes that the third master and the third young lady were

Such affection makes others envious. Although the third young lady is weak in temperament, she has a certain tenacity in her bones. How could she do such a thing?

Wang Dequan said, "The third master has been kind to me. I am here today because of his promotion. When the third master died, I couldn't wait to go with him. But when the third master was in a coma with a high fever, he kept chanting

The names of you and Master Zhi, when I think of these, I don’t dare to die. I have to stay with you and Master Zhi, and see him grow up with my own eyes. This way, even if he goes underground, the third master asked

I also have something to say to him."

When Tang heard him mention that Bai Yuanpei still cared about her and Brother Zhi when he was dying, her heart suddenly trembled, and the pain almost made her want to die.

Wu Ma hurriedly supported her and advised her heartbrokenly, "Third Master misses you the most. If he knows that you are pregnant and is still so sad, how can he feel at ease under Jiuquan?"

Tang leaned against her softly, her tears almost drying up.

The last day of 2020. In this year, there were losses, gains, misses, encounters, confusions, and determinations. I am grateful for every encounter and cherish every separation. Keep moving forward and set off in 2021, come on!!! New

Let’s work hard all year long!!
