Sweet Wife Is Busy Farming-Chapter 37
The Worm Has Come Out
Wang Hongxia gave Second Uncle Ding a look, and then her voice became much weaker. She wasn’t as arrogant as before. “Since Ding Yao doesn’t want to go home, Song Xiuyan, you should make up the betrothal gifts as soon as possible...”
Before she could finish her words, Ding Yao made a few gestures. Wang Hongxia shrunk her neck and immediately changed her words. “There’s no need for 50,000 yuan. You just need to be a little courteous.” After saying that, she pulled Second Uncle Ding and quickly left the Song family home. f𝙧ee𝘄𝐞𝚋𝐧૦ѵeƖ.c𝘰𝓶
Song Xue had been suppressing her anger. Just as Wang Hongxia and the others left, Song Xue closed the door behind her and even bolted the door. If Wang Hongxia came again next time, she definitely would not open the door for her!
The villagers who were shut outside the door were still discussing animatedly. Previously, when Lin Hu came, there were already people who had gathered outside to watch the show. Now that the two things were added together, they all thought of Wang Hongxia’s purpose of bringing Ding Yao home.
“I didn’t expect Wang Hongxia to be so despicable!”
“I guess Wang Hongxia also didn’t expect Ding Yao to have a rich and loyal uncle like Lin Hu. It’s a pity that Ding Yao is too stupid. She doesn’t want to be the daughter of a rich family. Instead, she wants to be a country girl who doesn’t have enough money”
“You don’t understand, do you? Song Xiuyan is so good-looking that Ding Yao can’t bear to leave.”
“Heh, can being good-looking put food on the table? With Song Xiuyan’s bad luck, even taking an exam can drag on for two years. I reckon he’ll be like this for the rest of his life.”
The next morning, Ding Yao made three more bowls of soup. When it was almost noon, Song Xue started to get nervous. “Sister Ding Yao, will the worms come out soon?” She had been holding it in for a day without going to the bathroom. At this moment, she couldn’t hold it in any longer.
Ding Yao held back her laughter and nodded. She had already gone to the toilet once. The roundworms that came out weren’t particularly large, but Song Xue had to have a large number because her small belly was protruding.
When the roundworms came out, they weren’t dead yet. If an adult wasn’t by Song Xue’s side to accompany her, Song Xue would probably be scared to tears. However, Song Xiuyan and the others were all boys. In the end, this task could only fall to Ding Yao.
In the end, Song Xue finally couldn’t help but rush to the toilet. Ding Yao followed behind her. Coincidentally, the village chief’s wife, Mrs. Lin, had also arrived. Knowing that the roundworm had to be excreted, she also followed in.
When Song Xue saw the live roundworm that had been excreted, she indeed cried in fright. However, Mrs. Lin laughed loudly throughout the entire process. She was finally relieved. This child, Ding Yao, hadn’t lied to them. The roundworm that had been excreted wasn’t dead yet. Unlike the medicine prescribed by other doctors, where the roundworms were all dead after they were pulled out. They were also listless, but Song Xue wasn’t. She was full of energy and her cries were very loud.
After Song Xue cleaned up, Mrs. Lin pulled the other wives to watch the roundworms that Song Xue pulled out. She also explained to them how they got the roundworm disease and how amazing Ding Yao’s medicine was.
The villagers were all very curious. They endured the stench of the latrine and pinched their noses to look inside. When they came out, they surrounded Mrs. Lin and Ding Yao. Without needing Ding Yao to speak, Mrs. Lin automatically turned into a commentator. Regardless of what other people asked, she answered all the questions:
“Yaoyao said that any child with a sallow and thin face, a round and protruding belly might have roundworms in their belly. But whether they have roundworms or not, we’ll need Ding Yao to look at them before we know
“Yaoyao said that when there are roundworms in their stomachs, anything that a child eats will be eaten by roundworms, so the child won’t grow taller. If roundworms cause a ruckus in their stomachs, it will hurt so much that people will roll around on the bed.”
“If you ask how this roundworm disease came about, sigh, it’s because children don’t care about hygiene. They poop everywhere, and roundworms’ eggs get everywhere. Yaoyao said that these roundworms’ eggs aren’t easy to kill. The child greedily ate the Star Of The Sky root attached to the roundworms’ eggs. Without washing it, she stuffed it into her mouth and ate it along with the roundworms’ eggs.”
“It’s not what you think. It’s not that we can’t eat the root of Star Of The Sky. Yaoyao said that we can eat it, but we have to wash it clean. It’s best to soak it in light salt water for a while before eating it.”
After listening to Mrs. Lin’s explanation, the villagers came to a sudden realization. They pulled their children and lectured them. At this moment, Song Yu couldn’t help but run toward the toilet. Song Yang followed behind him, and the other men also followed in to join in the fun. Seeing Song Yu expel so many live roundworms with their own eyes, the men lost their composure. After coming out, they asked Ding Yao what herbs she needed to use to kill the roundworms.
Ding Yao had no choice but to pull Song Xiuyan over. At this time, it was inconvenient to not know how to speak.
