Chapter 28 Mi Tai
This time, Granny Yang's illness flared up severely, almost bringing her to her death.
In just a short time, Granny Yang became haggard and no longer had her former plump figure.
Illness strikes like a landslide. Without the support of joint lubricant, various ailments erupted in Granny Yang's body, causing her to lose her ability to take care of herself. She could only lie motionless on her bed every day, suffering greatly.
Especially at such a crucial moment, Yang Mama was unable to show her face to the Madam and the Eldest Miss, and could not get a better job assignment. This made Yang Mama even more unwilling and anxious, but there was nothing she could do.
Despite the considerable effort already invested, Granny Yang's health failed to improve. Instead, it worsened, causing her even more physical and mental anguish.
Her joints were red, swollen, painful, and stiff, making it impossible for Granny Yang to even turn over. She could only lie on the couch, unable to take care of herself.
Even though taking the wind-dispelling and pain-relieving pills from Huichun Pharmacy made her feel a little better, the torment of the illness was still unbearable for Granny Yang.
The pain-relieving and wind-dispelling pills from Huichun Pharmacy have very limited efficacy and a very short duration of action. This is completely different from the pills that Lü Xinyan had brought back for him before.
If Lü Xinyan were still here, and could bring her some medicine to relieve pain and dispel wind, she would have recovered long ago.
Even though she missed Lü Xinyan's kindness to her and longed for the pills he had given her, Granny Yang knew very well that Lü Xinyan would never come back!
Since the young lady and the young master have made those plans, they won't let Lü Xinyan and the Lü family live.
Even if she asks someone to help her look for it, she probably won't be able to find it.
With no hope in this regard, Granny Yang had no other choice but to continue spending money, sending her daughter-in-law to Huichun Pharmacy to buy medicine. She spent four hundred taels to buy the kind of highly effective wind-dispelling and pain-relieving pills.
The situation is getting worse and worse. Granny Yang needs to recover as soon as possible, get to the Madam and the Eldest Miss to show her face, get a good job, and make more arrangements for her family.
If this drags on any longer, she won't even get left any scraps!
For the sake of her family's livelihood and her hope of staying in the Yuan family, Granny Yang had no choice but to go all out.
Knowing that a complete recovery would require at least three highly effective pain-relieving pills, costing 1,200 taels of silver, which Granny Yang couldn't afford right now, she could only try taking one highly effective pain-relieving pill to improve her condition, get a job, and then look for opportunities to make some extra money to see if she could save up 800 taels to continue buying pain-relieving pills from Huichun Pharmacy.
The situation was very unfavorable for her, and Granny Yang had little choice.
However, just as her daughter-in-law left, Granny Yang felt a sharp pain in her abdomen, which made her panic. She wanted to call her daughter-in-law for help, but she couldn't find her.
In just a short time, before Yang Mama could even struggle to do anything, she couldn't hold back any longer.
Knowing that she had soiled herself, Granny Yang was filled with shame and indignation, but she couldn't even bring herself to kill herself, nor could she bear to lose her life.
Before long, the stench had spread throughout the entire room, and it became increasingly foul and disgusting, almost making Granny Yang faint and causing her to gag repeatedly.
She wanted to tidy up herself, but her whole body was in pain and stiff. She couldn't even sit up, let alone tidy up; she was completely unable to take care of herself.
Surrounded by such a filthy and foul-smelling room, Granny Yang was both ashamed and angry. In the end, she rolled her eyes and fainted.
As Granny Yang lost control of her bladder, the stench in the room grew stronger and stronger, spreading to the surrounding area and frightening the people nearby, who all fled this awful and disgusting place.
They didn't want to live in the same servants' quarters as Granny Yang, but unfortunately, this was the only place in the estate where people could stay, so they had no other choice.
They also wanted to throw Granny Yang into the woodshed or even outside, but remembering what Granny Yang had done and knowing that she was still highly regarded by the Madam and the Eldest Miss, they had to endure it and avoid coming back unless absolutely necessary, lest they be overwhelmed by the stench.
At this moment, Yuan Yutong arrived at the manor. She originally intended to find out more about Lü Xinyan from Granny Yang, but before she even entered the courtyard, she was irritated by the various stenches and retreated repeatedly, her face turning very pale.
Knowing that Granny Yang had suddenly fallen ill with a chronic disease and was bedridden and unable to take care of herself, Yuan Yutong thought that Granny Yang, who always loved to dress up, wouldn't be too unkempt, and that her daughter-in-law was a filial daughter-in-law, so Granny Yang should still be presentable and not too bad. However, she did not expect that the situation was far worse than she had anticipated, and extremely bad.
At this moment, Yuan Yutong regretted it. She regretted that she had ever wanted to come see Granny Yang and ask her for information about Lü Xinyan.
As a result, when she encountered such a disgusting situation, Yuan Yutong quickly covered her nose and backed away, wanting to get away from such a stinky and disgusting place, and she didn't want to go into the house to see Granny Yang anymore.
Once they had moved some distance away and the stench had subsided, Yuan Yutong still breathed carefully, her brows furrowed. She turned to Qiuyue and asked, "Granny Yang, she's been like this lately, she can't even tidy herself up?"
When Yuan Yutong came to the manor this time, she was shocked by the changes in Granny Yang and the terrible situation she was in. She regretted coming.
If Granny Yang continues to be like this, so filthy and smelly, then she doesn't want to have any contact with Granny Yang. It's better to stay away from her to avoid getting smelled bad herself.
However, Yuan Yutong also realized that Granny Yang's illness had definitely become more serious, and she didn't know if there was any possibility of recovery.
If Granny Yang remains in this state and cannot recover, then she will have to find other help.
If she can't even take care of herself and can't get out of bed to walk, then there's nothing she can do. It's better to give up sooner so she can find suitable help and continue doing her own things.
Just thinking about how filthy Granny Yang was, unable to even control her bladder and making the surroundings stink, made Yuan Yutong feel that the steamed egg custard she had just eaten tasted terrible, and she felt like vomiting.
Her brows furrowed even more, and Yuan Yutong took several steps back, continuing to distance herself from the foul smell and forcing herself not to think about it.
