Chapter 194 It Falls Down with a Blow
Things like Jade Leaf Detoxification Granules! And tranquilizers are things Jianmei always keeps at home! Seeing this, you're bound to ask why Rosa's body is so weak. That's because when Rosa was three years old, she had a high fever and wasn't taken to the hospital in time for a fever-reducing injection, which left her very weak.
He gets colds and high fevers very easily, and every time he has a high fever, his eyes roll upwards and he foams at the mouth.
Yes! That's right. Ever since that time when Rosa had a high fever and didn't receive timely treatment, she hasn't had a high fever like that every time she gets one. It's just that something makes Rosa and Jianmei grit their teeth in anger, because the reason Rosa had a high fever but couldn't get timely medical treatment was because of it.
It was because Rousha was being cared for by her grandmother at the time. Jianmei was also at home that morning, but she was about to come to Guangming to teach when she discovered that Rousha had a high fever. So she took out twenty yuan and gave it to Rousha's grandmother, telling her to take Rousha to get a fever-reducing injection as soon as possible.
But her grandmother saw this as a perfect opportunity to kill Rosa! So she put the twenty yuan Jianmei had given her into her pocket. And so, poor Rosa burned from seven in the morning until three in the afternoon.
When Jianmei returned home from Guangming, Rousha's eyes began to roll upwards and she started foaming at the mouth. Seeing this, Jianmei quickly took Rousha to a nearby private clinic for treatment. This is why Jianmei had always kept Rousha at her parents' home.
Even more egregious was the incident where Rousa's grandmother starved her when Rousa was only three or four years old. At the time, Jianmei was teaching in a village a few kilometers from Guangming. She rarely went home, except once when she treated her fellow teachers to a meal, a kind teacher told Jianmei to hurry home and check on things.
Because her daughter was so hungry that her legs were weak and she couldn't even stand up! When Jianmei learned of this, she quickly took Rousha back to her parents' home. When Yiyao learned that Rousha had been starved by her grandmother, she exclaimed how pitiful Rousha was!
The reason why Rosa's grandmother disliked Rosa so much was simply because Rosa was a girl. At that time, Jianmei and her brother-in-law were teachers, so they could only have one child.
Perhaps it was because Rosa's grandmother desperately wanted a grandson that she did something so foolish. Furthermore, Rosa's grandmother didn't care for her when she was young.
Jianmei was deeply resentful of what her mother-in-law had done! In fact, they had already kicked Rousha out of the house when she was just a few months old. All because Rousha was a daughter, not a son! But wasn't this a true reflection of the reality of that era when family planning was advocated?
Jianmei didn't deliberately hide the fact that Rousa's grandmother disliked her from Rousa. Instead, she often brought it up in front of Rousa when she was young! It's unclear why she did this. Perhaps she wanted Rousa to resent her grandmother?
Even though Rosa knew how much her grandmother disliked her and held a grudge against her, she still became the most filial granddaughter and grandson among her grandmother's children. Of course, this was inseparable from the careful guidance she received from her brother-in-law.
After Jianmei passed away, my brother-in-law never remarried and remained single. He still keeps in touch with us, his sister's (Jianmei's) family. For example, when Jianying's daughter needed money to study abroad and asked my brother-in-law for a loan, he lent it to her without hesitation.
Furthermore, when the second younger sister was selling her new house, she also borrowed money from her eldest brother-in-law, who lent it to her without hesitation. After lending them the money, he never actively urged them to pay him back.
Perhaps my brother-in-law did this because when Jianmei was alive, they had experienced being broke and having to borrow money from others. So when he was able to help others, he would do his best to do so.
Taking care of such a frail and sickly toddler is no easy task. One minute she was squatting there, watching Jianlin wash his newly bought three-cartridge with great interest. The next minute she suddenly collapsed to the floor, her eyes rolling back and foaming at the mouth.
Seeing Rousha like this, Jianlin immediately put down the rag he was holding. He then quickly went to Rousha's side and carried her into the house. When Yiyao saw this scene, she quickly put down the spatula she was holding and wiped her hands clean with the apron she was wearing.
Then he rushed to Jianlin's room, where Rousha had already been carried to his bed. He pinched the area below Rousha's nose hard with his thumb. After a while, Jianlin saw that Rousha's symptoms had not improved, so he immediately carried Rousha and rode his motorcycle to Jiekou for treatment.
Haha! Sometimes I really think Rosa is quite the troublemaker. Pianpian, who never gets sick early or late, always falls ill just when Yiyao is making dinner. Just like the hour Rosa was born! Everyone was happily preparing for the New Year by slaughtering chickens and ducks.
Perhaps the little guy was bored inside Jianmei's belly? Or was he eager to come out and eat chicken legs and get red envelopes? So he was born into the world on the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month. Don't you think this little guy is a super mischievous little devil?
That's considered good! Another time, I woke up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom, and when I turned on the light, I noticed that Rosa, who was lying in bed, looked a little off. So I quickly dressed myself and then carried Rosa out of her warm bed.
It was already late autumn, and the weather was quite cold. Since Rousha was a very delicate little thing, the kind that would collapse at the slightest breeze, Jianmei would frantically pile clothes on her every winter!
Layer upon layer, it wobbles as it walks. You can push it down, but it'll get back up! So, every winter, we nicknamed the little guy "The Tumbler." I remember once our youngest daughter told us she had a dream where our whole family went on a trip to the Arctic.
Our whole family was on the plane! When we were almost at the North Pole, my aunt took Rosa's clothes out of her suitcase. Then she frantically put clothes on Rosa, and before we knew it, Rosa was wearing three or four layers of clothes.
But Auntie was still worried that Rosa would get cold, so she shook her head and took out a thick wool sweater from her suitcase and put it on Rosa.
