Transmigration: I Have Storage Space in the Apocalypse novel Chapter 475

Chapter 475: Chapter 470: Troublesome Matters When Returning Home 05

——————

Yan Jinsu first observed his sleeping face, with traces of yellowish eye discharge remaining at the corners of his eyes. She gently pried open Xiao Ba’s bright red lips, revealing a white tongue and blood-red lips, which were clear signs of internal heat!

Looking further, she noticed a strange odor in the child’s mouth and a small blister on his hard palate.

"Mom, please prepare some warm water and mix in some ’Houzao Powder’ for him to drink. Xiao Ba has internal heat." [The plot is fictitious, do not take it personally]

Seeing Lin Caixia nervously watching her, she smiled and reassured:

"Caixia, don’t worry. Xiao Ba has a throat inflammation and blisters, which is why he keeps getting fevers. Xiao Ba is also young and won’t communicate his discomfort to adults. Having a doctor look at it is useless, as they’re reluctant to use strong medicine. All they can do is let the child drink more water and take some mild western medicine, which makes the recovery slower."

When Lin Caixia heard "recurrent fevers," she nodded in agreement, "Sister-in-law, this medicine... Will it be okay for Xiao Ba to drink?"

Everything else is easy to say, but she is still not relieved about this.

"Don’t worry, this medicine is traditional Chinese medicine, not a western drug. Xiaojiu and Xiao Shi also need to drink it every three to five days, so you don’t have to worry about an overdose for Xiao Ba. Xiaojiu and Xiao Shi are also taking it, and grandma has gotten used to preparing it, haha."

Not trusting herself, she just said that much. Whether to drink it or not was left to Lin Caixia’s discretion.

"Thank you, Sister-in-law." Lin Caixia was somewhat indifferent, but since Xiao Ba had no other medicine available at the moment, she was skeptical but still chose to give it a try after hearing Yan Jinsu’s words.

She hesitated a little, not daring to let Xiao Ba drink too much, stopping after he drank just about half.

Yan Jinsu saw this but didn’t say more.

However, Zhou Xiuhua and her daughter were not pleased.

They felt that this little girl was kind-hearted. Seeing that her child was sick, she immediately took out her own baby’s common medicine. By acting this way, she seemed a bit disrespectful.

Lin Caixia had no idea that her slight suspicion and caution had led several women in the room to have a slight opinion of her.

Houzao Powder had not yet been widely spread at this time, and it was expensive in towns, unheard of in the countryside. Her caution was just a mother’s care, so Yan Jinsu did not take it to heart.

Because Xiao Ba could now eat some candy, he knew the taste of sweetness, so when he tasted the ’bitter’ medicine, he burst into tears.

Yan Jinsu took this opportunity to clearly see another larger blister in Xiao Ba’s throat, no wonder he had been feverish these past few days!

Knowing Lin Caixia didn’t trust her, Yan Jinsu didn’t say much. But seeing the child crying badly and having drank some medicine, she generously poured a small cup of special warm water from the babies’ kettle for Lin Caixia.

If it were Lin Caixia who was sick, she probably wouldn’t have been so kind.

But seeing Xiao Ba sick, she felt a bit heartbroken.

He was only ten months old, what could a child know at that age? Moreover, seeing Xiao Ba now, he seemed about the same size as Shiyi, which felt like a huge gap!

Even when children are under a year old, a difference of one or two months can be apparent. But Xiao Ba was already four months older than her two little treasures!

After taking the medicine and being fed a bit more water, Xiao Ba fell asleep again.

Just about ten minutes later, Xiao Ba’s back started to sweat, and seeing this, Lin Caixia finally believed that her mother-in-law and sister-in-law were truly looking out for Xiao Ba’s best interests!

At this point, Yan Jinsu didn’t have the energy to care about her thoughts anymore; it was past five o’clock, she and Xie Jinghong had already moved to the kitchen to cook rice, simmer white porridge, wash vegetables and cut meat, the two coordinating their tasks efficiently.
