Farmer's eldest sister becomes rich

Chapter 42: Safe and Sound

“It’s okay, but Niannian was sweating a lot last night and didn’t sleep well until the second half of the night. I wonder if he will feel better today.

"Don't worry, your mother and uncle also had fever occasionally when they were young. They would sweat after having a fever, and they would feel much better after waking up from a good sleep."

After listening to what her grandmother said, An Yue couldn't help but sigh in her heart: Being a mother is not easy.

She was about to go to the kitchen to make medicine for An Nian. Her grandmother was sewing a fur coat and said with a kind smile, "Grandma has already made the medicine for An Nian. She is just waiting for you to wake up and have breakfast!"

An Yue walked up to her grandmother, hugged her from behind, and said coquettishly, "Thank you, grandma."

"I heard from your grandfather that you paid for the medicine last night. Do you have any money left?" As she said this, my grandmother was about to take out her purse from her bosom.

An Yue quickly stopped her grandmother's hand, looked at her and shook her head, saying, "Grandma, Yueyue still has some money in her hand, you must keep the silver in your hand safe."

Grandma smiled and nodded to show that she understood.

At this time, An Nian woke up.

He rubbed his eyes and walked out of the room. He had a high fever and had not slept well. His face looked a little sallow, but he seemed to be in good spirits.

Ran up to them in small steps and said, "Grandma, sister, I'm hungry every year."

"Okay, okay, we are hungry every year, and grandma is hungry too, so let's prepare to eat."

Afterwards, An Yue went to the kitchen to bring hot meals and dishes.

The three generations of grandparents and grandchildren were preparing to eat when Wei came over.

An Nian looked at Wei coming towards him and panicked reflexively. He hid in his sister's arms and didn't dare to look at Wei.

After Wei sat on the stool, she said hypocritically, "Niannian, I'm sorry. Auntie will never hit you again."

An Yue hugged An Nian's head and whispered, "Don't be afraid, Nian Nian! With your grandmother and sister here, your aunt won't beat you again."

Only then did An Nian let down his guard and slowly turned his head away from An Yue's arms, but he still didn't dare to look at Wei.

The grandmother rolled her eyes at Wei and said, "Look at yourself! When a child sees you, it's like seeing a vicious monster!"

Grandma picked up a piece of food with chopsticks, put it in her mouth and chewed it, saying: "Humph! If I hadn't seen that you were pregnant, I would have sent you to the government office to see the official!"

Wei lowered her head and said, "Mother is right! I know I was wrong and will never do it again."

An Yue thought to herself that she was beating An Nian to death simply because she was taking advantage of the fact that she was pregnant.

She was helpless. Life under someone else's roof was always a little unsatisfactory.

After dinner, An Yue went to the kitchen to bring some medicine.

As soon as it was served, An Nian obediently picked up the bowl and started drinking.

Grandmother and An Yue were also very pleased and surprised when they saw this.

An Nian gulped down the drink and gently put the bowl down.

Then he took An Yue to the yard and said, "Sister, I don't want to be at home. I'm afraid to see my aunt."

"But, Niannian's body is not fully recovered yet. I'm afraid I'll have a fever again if I go out."

"I'm scared every year..." After saying that, An Nian raised his hand to wipe away his tears.

An Yue felt mixed emotions when she saw An Nian like this.

She just wanted to have a good New Year's Day with An Nian at her grandmother's house and try to earn some money before the New Year. Even if she returned to An's house at that time, she would not have to worry about anything with the money in her hands.

An Yue bent down, held An Nian's face and asked, "Do you want to go back to the An family with your sister?"

An Nian blinked and nodded.

"Niannian, you are not fully recovered yet. Besides, the money your sister has is not enough for us to live in An's home. After we return to An's home, our grandparents, aunt and uncle will definitely make things difficult for us. Just think about how hard life will be."

"How about this! You will follow me every year and never leave my side. Is that okay with you?"

Although An Nian was reluctant, she thought her sister's words made sense, so she agreed: "Okay... Nian Nian will listen to you, sister."

An Yue finally breathed a sigh of relief. She really couldn't imagine how Wei had beaten An Nian at that time, causing An Nian to be so scared afterwards.

She swore that she would make a lot of money in the future and never let An Nian and Wei be alone together again.

Grandma called out from under the eaves, "Niannian, Yueyue, come over and try the fur coats I made for you to see if they fit you."

The leather waistcoat that my grandmother had been sewing for a day and a night was finally finished.

The brother and sister trotted over, and their grandmother happily put them on.

The length and size are perfect and it feels furry. After a while, I felt warm on the vest.

An Nian touched the furry fur and was very happy. He said, "Thank you, grandma. I wear rabbit fur every year and become a little rabbit every year."

An Yue also smiled and said: "This fur coat is really warm. I will wear this fur coat when I go out to pick wild vegetables. I don't need to wear a heavy cotton coat anymore!"

The grandmother looked at the siblings dressed happily, she reached out and took An Nian into her arms, and asked gently: "Niannian, does your injury still hurt?"

An Nian stopped smiling and nodded.

Grandma held An Nian's face with her rough hands and said softly, "Before going to bed tonight, grandma will boil two eggs and apply them to An Nian. You will get better soon."

At this time, my grandfather and uncle came back.

"Grandpa..." An Nian ran to his grandfather in small steps, and his grandfather picked him up.

After Uncle Jiang Chenghai tied up the cow, he came over and asked, "Do you feel better, Niannian?"

An Nian sat on his grandfather's arm, looked at his uncle with a sly smile and said, "If there were sugar, Nian Nian would get better faster."

"I've known for a long time that Niannian is a little greedy cat." As he said that, my uncle took out two sugar figures from the basket.

An Nian quickly reached out to take the candy figure from his uncle's hand, and couldn't wait to lick it.

"Yueyue has one too." Uncle came to An Yue with another candy figure and said.

"Uncle, Yueyue won't eat it. Leave it for Nian Nian!"

Grandma saw that An Nian was in much better spirits after seeing the candy, and she couldn't help but tease An Nian and said, "Grandma wants to eat the candy man in Nian Nian's hand."

When An Nian heard that his grandmother wanted to eat the candy in his hand, he ran into the house with the candy, saying as he ran, "Niannian is sick, grandma can't eat it."

My uncle chuckled and said, "Nian Nian is a stingy guy!"

The grandmother asked her son Jiang Chenghai, "Is it too late to deliver the fish today?"

Uncle Jiang Chenghai took out the cloth bag from his arms and handed it to his mother Zheng.

He said with some displeasure on his face: "It's not late, but when it comes to delivering fish, I feel very tired now just thinking about it."

After hearing this, An Yue asked curiously, "Uncle, what happened today?"

"We drove the ox cart to the side door of their restaurant as usual. Just as we moved two buckets of fish into the backyard, the shopkeeper Wang came over and took a look. He said he didn't see you, so he refused to take any of the fish.

My grandmother was very puzzled and asked, "Why is that?"
