Chapter 1475 The Final Battle: The Plague Kills Both Enemy and Foe [2]
……
In the Wu Garden, Granny Qin rushed into the Wei Building with a beaming smile and shouted at the top of her lungs, "Great news! Great news! Those bastards in the enemy army have also contracted the rat plague. I heard that 10,000 to 20,000 people have already died, and I'm afraid that 100,000 to 200,000 will die tomorrow!"
"You servants, stop standing there! Quickly prepare a large table of offerings, let's all worship the Plague God together!" Granny Qin chattered on and on, "Although the Plague God is not a good thing, he is fair. He doesn't discriminate in who he harms, he harms everyone. Hehe, that's fine too, at least we won't feel so aggrieved."
"If only we get the plague and the enemy is completely unaffected, I'll make a huge scene even in the underworld! To hell with them! Why should we get an explanation? If you don't, I'll smash up the underworld!!"
"Grandma, please stop talking." Lu Jiu and Han Wan Niang had just caught up with her and hurriedly pulled Qin Liu Po without pausing to catch their breath.
She was even scolded by Granny Qin, who put her hands on her hips: "You two useless things, so young, yet your legs aren't as nimble as mine. I've already made a scene once, and you two only caught up after that. Don't tell me you're my daughters-in-law when we're out in public, I can't bear the shame!"
The newly moved-in Xue family's Xue Mingnian, the Kang County Magistrate's family's Kang Yu, the Li family's Li Zhihua, and the Zheng family's two young girls were all stunned by what they heard.
The two sisters, Li Zhihua and Zheng Jia, sat upright, bowed their heads, and silently recited: "Do not listen to what is improper."
Xue Mingnian looked curious and wanted to hear more.
Kangyu, the young girl who had visited the Qin family, remained calm and composed. On the surface, she was dignified and serious, but in her heart, she was already learning and even imitating the scenes and words of Lü Jiu and Han Wan Niang confronting Qin Liu Po.
“Mother, the plague is serious now. You have just returned from outside. We must take precautions against the plague and not get too close to Princess Ye. Da Bao’er is still too young.”
The eldest child, fast asleep and oblivious to the passage of time: "..."
He loves to sleep and sleeps whenever he has free time. There's nothing he can do about it; the adults are too busy and often bother him, so he has to go to sleep whenever he has a spare moment.
Granny Qin: "What are you doing about preventing the plague? I just went to the post at the intersection of Weilou Road to gather some news. This good news was brought in after several announcements. The isolation measures are good enough. If we can still get infected here, we can only say it's fate and accept it!"
Rough words are not rough.
Lü Jiu and Han Wanniang: "...Mother-in-law, there are still guests from various families in the Wei Lou. We must speak politely and not set a bad example for them."
"A pampered guest? A girl from a certain family is a girl from a certain family. Why call her a pampered guest? It sounds so pretentious." After complaining, Granny Qin shouted into the lobby of the building, "I'm not corrupting the daughters of wealthy families. I'm just showing them something different so they won't be at a loss when they encounter a shrew like me in the future!"
Help! What she said actually makes a lot of sense.
"Haha, umm, I wasn't laughing, I..." Madam Zheng's youngest daughter couldn't help but laugh out loud. Knowing that this was ill-mannered, she hurriedly explained, but couldn't find a good reason, and tears welled up in her eyes.
He quickly bowed to Granny Qin and said, "I misspoke, please forgive me."
Oh my, what a polite and adorable little girl! Aunt Qin's heart softened at the sight of her and she smiled, "Don't cry, don't cry, it's alright. Your Aunt Qin is a straightforward person and doesn't mind the teasing of the younger generation."
"Heavens above, Sister Shu, you're getting more and more pretentious, even making sarcastic remarks? If I weren't afraid of dying, I would have run off to Mushan to hang out with Xiaomi long ago, instead of staying here and listening to your pretentious talk every day!"
"Hahaha!" Madam Sun couldn't help but laugh out loud, and the young girls, including Xue Mingnian, also stopped holding back and burst into laughter.
When Madam Kang and Granny Sun returned to Wei Lou with the copy of the victory report for the women, they heard loud laughter and assumed that the women had known about the victory report in advance, which was why they were laughing.
When she learned that it was because of Granny Qin that she burst into laughter again, Madam Kang glanced at her daughter Kang Yu and smiled sincerely, saying, "Granny Qin is a blessed person. She is also witty. With her around, we are much more comfortable." If it weren't for Granny Qin, her daughter Yu would probably have been terrified and sleepless by the siege and the plague.
“Mother!” Kang Yu was very happy to see Madam Kang.
Madam Kang nodded to her, indicating that she could stop talking and should not say any more. After all, they were guests, and the two hosts, Qin Xiaogu and Madam Sun, should speak first.
"Madam Kang, please come in and have a seat," Qin Xiaogu invited.
“Yes.” Madam Kang responded, but did not go in to sit. Instead, she sat outside the lobby on the first floor. She needed to interact with Madam Yan, Madam Fei, Madam Xue, and others who were taking care of the pregnant women, new mothers, and infants temporarily staying at Wuyuan Garden, so she couldn’t get too close to Aunt Qin and the others.
Although a plague has broken out in the city, we still need to insist on taking precautions against the plague and isolate ourselves, just in case we are only a few meters apart.
Madam Kang and Granny Sun reported the good news that the enemy troops had also contracted the plague.
He also reported on the situation of pregnant women, new mothers, and infants in each household: "Four women will be in labor in the next two days, and arrangements have been made."
"By bringing the wet nurses together, the problem of insufficient milk for infants in each family has been solved."
"We have already taken care of the only child in the family and made arrangements at Wuyuan Garden. We will do our best to protect the only child in Wei Min's family."
Originally, Wuyuan only accepted pregnant women and infants under one year old, but some widows with only children or grandparents with only children in the city came to ask for help.
After discussing the matter, the Prince of Ye, the Imperial Envoy Qi, and Lord Yan issued an approval to bring these only children into Wuyuan Garden for care.
We only accept children under ten years old.
Therefore, Peng Jianxin, the only son of Peng Sushi, a female worker at the herbal medicine shop, also moved into Wuyuan, which made Xiao Fubao and the others very happy. If the adults hadn't been holding them back, they would have run out to meet him.
There are also families who have lost their parents... such as the He Liuliu family, whose parents have both passed away. Their younger siblings who are under ten years old can also stay temporarily in Wuyuan and receive care.
When Madam Kang finished reporting the situation, Madam Sun and Qin Xiaogu felt that it was tedious and tiring just by listening to it, and sincerely said: "Madam Kang, ladies, you have worked hard. This job is really not easy to do."
Madam Kang smiled and sighed, "That's all we can do."
Whether these dolls will survive is unclear.
But if they can survive, then all their hard work and exhaustion won't matter... Anyway, Madam Kang felt that this job was much better than being trapped in the inner quarters playing mind games; at least she felt clear-headed and relaxed!
"Madam Kang, have any shrewish women been causing trouble for you? If so, come and invite me over, and I'll give them a good scolding!" Although living in Weilou was safe, it was too stuffy. Granny Qin was feeling restless and wanted to find some excitement.
Madam Kang said, "There's no need to trouble you, just take care of yourself. Anyone who dares to cause trouble will be escorted out of Wuyuan by the female soldiers and left to fend for themselves."
Now that it's wartime, anyone who dares to cause trouble will be kicked out. After driving away a few unreasonable families (either wanting to bring their mothers-in-law or their husbands into the house with the crazy woman), things became peaceful in Wuyuan Garden, and no one dared to act recklessly anymore.
"Ah? You don't need an old woman like me?" Granny Qin said regretfully.
"We really don't need you. Just stay put and don't go out and cause us any trouble!" Madam Kang thought to herself, already wary of Qin Liupo's ambitions.
