Chapter 24 Chen Jiazhen is sick

The New Year's Eve is just around the corner and the children finally have their holiday.

He Yuzhu no longer has to get up early every day to cook for the children.

In the cold winter, wouldn’t it be nice to hug your fair and clean wife and sleep until you wake up naturally every day?

The He family's breakfast time was delayed from seven o'clock to eight thirty.

At this time, people who worked in the courtyard had already eaten.

However, some children get up late, and when they wake up naturally, it is usually around eight or nine o'clock.

If I hide in the bed, I will have another hysterical attack.

It is very likely that when you are fully awake, you will find that time has unknowingly reached noon.

After the He family gets up and eats, He Yuzhu will go out for a walk.

Lou Xiao'e usually helps her four sons with their winter vacation homework.

Yan Jiedi from the front yard would also come over at this time.

The He family never lacks snacks. When Yan Jiedi comes, Lou Xiao'e will give her a handful.

The country has announced that college will resume.

Yan Jiedi is preparing for the exam.

In fact, the college entrance examination has been resumed this year, but Yan Jiedi failed, so she had to repeat a year.

The third uncle was very pleased with Yan Jiedi's "fighting spirit".

The first college student in the courtyard was He Yushui from the He family.

Yan Jiedi came to the Intermediate Court to study, under the pretext of borrowing He Yushui's study materials.

Those data are actually from more than ten years ago.

However, Yan Jiedi did not complain. Being able to eat snacks and drink tea, this life was much better than staying at home.

At this moment, at He Yushui's home.

He Yuzhu originally wanted to send some New Year's goods to his sister and brother-in-law, but he didn't expect that an unexpected person would open the door for him.

"Baby daddy?"

"Fengxia?"

He Yuzhu didn't expect that after many years, he would meet Chen Jiazhen's daughter Fengxia again.

"Fengxia, is Kugen sick again?"

He Yuzhu was a little worried about the child who had suffered so much.

"It's not Kugen, it's my mother."

Fengxia looked a little embarrassed, but she still told the truth.

This time, Chen Jiazhen's long-standing illness broke out and no doctor in Tianjin could cure it.

Fengxia and Zhang Erxi coaxed Chen Jiazhen to come to Sijiucheng for medical treatment.

The person Fengxia was looking for was her aunt He Yushui.

He Yushui did not tell He Yuzhu about the matter, but let Fengxia and Zhang Erxi live in his house.

"Why are you hiding this from me?"

He Yuzhu was a little angry. He left his New Year's goods behind and went to the hospital.

In the TV series, Chen Jiazhen seems to be suffering from a serious illness, which is rickets, a disease caused by long-term malnutrition.

"Little Dad, my aunt didn't let me tell you."

Fengxia felt a little aggrieved and hurriedly followed.

When the two arrived at the hospital, they did not go to look for He Yushui, but went straight to the ward.

"Brother, why are you here?"

He Yushui was there too. She was the attending physician and was inspecting the ward. When she saw He Yuzhu was furious, she knew that he knew about the matter.

"Why am I here?" He Yuzhu knew that He Yushui didn't tell him because it was for his own good.

However, He Yushui had no idea what Chen Jiazhen meant to him.

That was the first woman in this world that he cared about deeply.

"Okay, I won't say anything more. Sister Jiazhen is in this ward."

Perhaps because He Yushui had stayed in the hospital for too long, she spoke to people in a friendly manner and was very calm and composed. She no longer looked like the crazy girl she was when she was a child.

He Yuzhu followed him to the ward. Zhang Erxi also saw He Yuzhu and quickly stood up.

"Little dad."

Fengxia waved her hand quickly: "Erxi, come out for a moment."

He Yuzhu looked at the woman lying on the hospital bed. She was in her forties, half of her hair was white, and she looked haggard and thin.

When He Yuzhu saw Chen Jiazhen's appearance, his nose felt sore and tears started to flow.

"How did you come?"

Chen Jiazhen also saw He Yuzhu. She spoke in a weak voice and it seemed that her condition was very serious. However, after seeing He Yuzhu, a blush appeared on her face. I don’t know if she was recalling their past.

"I was delivering New Year's gifts to Xiaoshui and happened to see Fengxia."

He Yuzhu walked to the bedside, raised his hand and placed it on Chen Jiazhen's face. Although her skin was a little loose, the joy of meeting each other again made him not care at all.

"It's great to see you again."

Chen Jiazhen seemed to have let go of some of the things that bothered her in the past, and she even rubbed her face against He Yuzhu's hand.

"Don't talk nonsense, there's still a long way to go," He Yuzhu used his fingers to cover the woman's pale lips. Below her lips, her originally smooth and delicate collarbone was now a little thinner, but still as white.

"Can't you be more serious?"

Chen Jiazhen didn't expect that even though she was lying on the hospital bed, the man would still be acting lustfully towards her. She felt complicated, angry but also a little happy, but mostly helpless.

"How can I be serious? I knew the first time I saw you that I was just pretending to be serious in front of you."

He Yuzhu joked, looked back at the door, and made sure that no one was watching. He lowered his head and took a hard bite on Chen Jiazhen's pale lips.

Chen Jiazhen's face turned even redder, she spat but said nothing.

"You have to take care of your health, okay? We still have a long way to go."

He Yuzhu is so shameless that he doesn't feel embarrassed at all about kissing a patient.

You have to know that when the two were together, He Yuzhu did even more excessive things.

Chen Jiazhen was shocked by the man's shameless face. When she came to her senses, she felt ashamed and annoyed. She gritted her teeth, pursed her lips, and accused him viciously: "You can bully me as much as you can. You have ruined my life."

"Not only will I ruin your life in this life, I will not let you go in the next life either."

He Yuzhu's attitude was not one of shame but pride, which made Chen Jiazhen so angry that she didn't want to pay any attention to this bad man.

He Yuzhu didn't care about Chen Jiazhen's attitude. He went straight to the bed with a playful smile, lay down beside Chen Jiazhen, and reached out to hold the not-so-heavy woman in his arms:

"Jiazhen, do you still remember our first time?"

Chen Jiazhen was attracted by the man and recalled the scene of that night. It was a night of thunder and rain.

Youqing's cold hasn't recovered yet, and Fengxia has a fever again.

Chen Jiazhen, a woman in her early twenties, looked at the storm outside the door, hugged her son and embraced her daughter, and felt that the world was full of malice towards her.

He Yuzhu was afraid that something had happened to the three of them, so he came over to check on them.

After knowing that Fengxia had a fever, he rode for more than an hour in the pouring rain to buy the medicine.

By the time Fengxia drank the medicine and fell asleep, the heavy rain had not stopped.

He Yuzhu took off his wet clothes and lay down in Chen Jiazhen's bed.

In order not to wake the child, and also because she was moved by He Yuzhu, Chen Jiazhen was taken advantage of by the man.

At the beginning, Chen Jiazhen was afraid that the two children would not accept He Yuzhu and refused to let He Yuzhu stay overnight.

He Yuzhu had no choice but to buy the house next door and renovate the cellar, and the two of them lived in the cellar for several years.

Later, I don’t remember when, their affair was discovered by the children.

As a result, both children were quite accepting of He Yuzhu.

Youqing has never seen Xu Fugui since he was born.

Fengxia's impression of Xu Fugui was also very vague.

He Yuzhu took care of Chen Jiazhen and her son for eight years, and finally got the emotional reward.

If it were He Yuzhu, by the time Xu Fugui came looking for him, the two would probably have remarried.

Unfortunately, there are no ifs in life.

Chen Jiazhen looked up at He Yuzhu, and suddenly a doubt arose in her heart: "Zhuzi, how old were you at that time?"

The two have been separated for eighteen years, plus they have been together for eight years, and they were entangled for two years before that, which makes twenty-eight years.

But looking at He Yuzhu now, he looks to be in his twenties or thirties.

It seemed as if time had left no trace on He Yuzhu.

"I'll tell you later," He Yuzhu said embarrassedly.

"If you don't say it, don't say it."

Chen Jiazhen was in a bad mood and was held in He Yuzhu's arms. After a while, she fell asleep.

He Yuzhu just hugged her like this. During this time, Fengxia took a look through the window and let He Yuzhu wave her hand to send her away.

The two of them lay there until noon.

Chen Jiazhen eats very little now. She only eats a little in the morning and feels hungry before noon.

He Yuzhu wiped Chen Jiazhen's face with a towel, and Chen Jiazhen did not refuse He Yuzhu's intimacy.

He Yuzhu left the ward to buy food and found Fengxia standing alone at the door.

Fengxia called out shyly, "Little Dad."

He Yuzhu didn't care. He had raised Fengxia for nearly ten years when she was a child, so he deserved to be called "little dad".

"Fengxia, go buy some food, your mother is hungry."

He Yuzhu directly stuffed a stack of money into Fengxia's hand and did not allow her to refuse.

Fengxia bit her lip and left reluctantly.

When he was a child, He Yuzhu liked to give himself a few cents so that he could take his younger brother out to buy candy.

I was still young and ignorant at that time, but I felt that every time I came back, both my dad and mom took a bath.

Now Fengxia understands that her stepfather gave her money at that time because he wanted to do bad things to her mother.

He Yuzhu didn't know that Fengxia also thought of her childhood. He returned to the ward and reached his hand directly into Chen Jiazhen's quilt.

This time He Yuzhu didn't want to act like a hooligan, but to lift the quilt and help Chen Jiazhen put on her clothes.

Of course, it is normal to have some friction while putting on clothes.

Chen Jiazhen could only roll her eyes at the man.

When Fengxia came back from buying food, the three of them seemed like a family of three, eating together.

"Brother, Sister Jiazhen."

After lunch, He Yushui thought of her elder brother and came to the ward to check on him. Seeing the heartwarming scene of the three of them eating, she began to feel sorry for her sister-in-law Xiao'e at home.

"I'm going to go out for a while, Fengxia, take good care of your mother."

He Yuzhu understood the meaning of his sister's eyes, gave instructions very naturally, and followed He Yushui outside.

This time the two of them went directly to He Yushui's office.

As the attending physician, He Yushui has his own office.

"Brother, do you know what disease Sister Jiazhen has?"

"I don't know," He Yuzhu only knew that in the TV series, Chen Jiazhen suffered from rickets, but he hadn't asked what the disease was in real life.

He Yushui glared at her eldest brother and said unhappily, "Sister Jiazhen has osteomalacia."

"Is it difficult to cure?"

Because of Chen Jiazhen, He Yuzhu specially looked up relevant information, which said that the disease can be controlled as long as nutrition is supplemented and more exercise is done.

At the beginning, He Yuzhu asked Chen Jiazhen to practice Tai Chi to prevent her from getting sick.

"It's already in the late stage, the rickets have worsened, and now there are a few areas of arthritis. With conservative Chinese medicine, we can only try to control it. There's little hope of a cure."

"What about Western medicine?"

He Yuzhu is not the same as before. If it really doesn’t work out, he will be sent abroad.

"In Western medicine, bone and joint replacement is required, but this is still relatively scarce in China. I heard that only developed countries have mature cases of this."

"As long as it can be cured."

He Yuzhu breathed a sigh of relief. He was afraid of this girl, He Yushui, so he just let her mourn for him.

He Yushui was annoyed by his eldest brother's tone: "Brother, going abroad for treatment will cost a lot, at least tens of thousands of dollars. Are you going to ask your sister-in-law for money to pay for Sister Jiazhen's treatment?"

"It's just a few tens of thousands of dollars. You don't need to ask your sister-in-law. I have it myself."

He Yuzhu patted his chest. He was not a gigolo. This sister didn't even have any confidence in him. Wasn't the prestige he had built up in front of her since childhood strong enough?

He Yushui was a little annoyed: "Brother, I'm serious, I'm not joking."

Why is this big brother becoming more and more out of touch?

Even if the He family's ancestral chef has saved some money over the years, it is estimated that it is only a few thousand yuan at most.

Going abroad for treatment would cost tens of thousands, which is more than ten times the cost.

He Yushui would never believe it unless He Yuzhu produced evidence.

However, He Yuzhu would not produce any evidence. Some things just need to be done. It would be bad to produce evidence.
