Chapter 14-The Terrifying Smallflower! (New Book 7/7)
The 18th year of Jianwu, which was 42 AD.
Some people rebelled in Jiaozhi, and Liu Xiu, Emperor Guangwu, sent General Fubo south to quell the rebellion.
Although the rebels were eliminated.
However, it brought back a disease.
This disease was known as the 'Krupp' disease. At first, only a few soldiers were infected, but later it spread to the entire army.
The infected person shivered and had a high fever. Pimples appeared on the skin and festered over time.
This kind of illness was extremely difficult to cure. Even if it was cured, there would still be pockmarks on the face and body in the future.
Moreover, the disease was highly contagious.
And this disease had another name in the future, small-flower!
Therefore, when they heard the name 'Lu Chuang', everyone in the courtyard quickly retreated with fear in their eyes.
One of the reasons was that the disease was difficult to treat.
Of course, its contagious nature was the most terrifying thing. If things went wrong, the entire Zhen family would be in trouble.
Therefore, the way to deal with this kind of disease in the family was to find it early and eliminate it early.
As for how to destroy it, the answer was very simple.
Fire!
"Doctor, is there really no other way? We can pay, however much money we want!”
Zhang Shi said with despair in her eyes.
The Zhen family of Zhongshan was rich. Otherwise, these doctors would not have come all the way here by car.
But this illness
Not to mention whether it could be cured or not, if it was contagious, it might bring disaster to the entire family. No one dared to joke around with the entire family.
"I'm sorry, Madam. This is not a matter of money. We really can't do anything!”
All the doctors in the courtyard shook their heads and hurriedly walked out.
He was afraid that if he stayed any longer, he would be infected.
Faced with the helpless reply, Zhang shi was completely flustered.
Her two sons were still young, and there was no man in charge at home. What should she do?
What could a woman like her do?
As for the other relatives of the Zhen family, they couldn't wait for something to happen to her husband. That way, they could split the Zhen family's assets.
..........
In an ancestral hall in the Zhen Manor, a few thin figures were kneeling.
There were two men and four women.
The two boys were about fifteen or sixteen years old. The oldest of the four girls was about fifteen or sixteen years old, and the rest were younger than the last.
The youngest one was only four or five years old.
"Ancestor appeared and blessed father. Jiang 'er kowtowed to Ancestor here.”
Zhen Jiang, who was dressed in a white dress and had delicate features, began to kowtow.
Seeing her sister like this, the younger sisters followed Zhen Jiang's lead.
After kowtowing three times, Zhen Jiang finally stopped. However, she did not get up and continued to kneel on the futon.
Turning her head to look at her sisters beside her, Zhen Jiang's pale face had a complicated expression.
Now that his father was seriously ill, his mother had no time to leave. There were still so many things at home that could only be handled by his two brothers.
Although she was not old, she should be able to take on some of the household chores.
"Second Younger Sister, you should bring Third Younger Sister and Fourth Younger Sister back to the house. It's too cold here.”Zhen Jiang said to Zhen Tuo, who was slightly older.
Hearing his sister's words, Zhen Tuo nodded obediently. Then, he got up from the futon and pulled his two younger sisters towards the residence of the women in the backyard.
Only Zhen Jiang was left kneeling in the ancestral hall, sincerely praying for his father's recovery.
Just as she closed her eyes and prayed sincerely, she suddenly heard a commotion coming from the front yard.
Listening carefully, Zhen Jiang heard his mother's cries, so he hurriedly stood up and walked towards the front yard.
In the front courtyard, not long after the doctors left, a large group of people knocked on the courtyard door.
Madam Zhang thought that a doctor had returned and was willing to treat her husband.
However, when he opened the courtyard door, he realized that it was not a doctor who had come. Instead, it was the second, third, and fourth branch of the Zhen family.
These people didn't know which doctor told them that Zhen Yi had a sore.
Perhaps some of the doctors who came to treat Zhen Yi had been bribed to get through Zhen Yi's illness.
In short, just as the doctor left, the Second, Third, and Fourth household rushed over!
The courtyard instantly became noisy.
"Sister-in-law, you're wrong. Big Brother is suffering from a disease. This is not just your family's matter. This is the entire Zhen family's matter."
Zhen Mao, the second branch of the Zhen family, looked at Zhang shi with an unfriendly expression.
"That's right, sister-in-law. You know that this disease is different from other diseases. If it really spreads, the entire Zhen family will face a catastrophe. If the government finds out, they will definitely not let our Zhen family off!”
Zhen Wen, the third branch of the Zhen family, added.
Although the fourth branch of the Zhen family, Zhen Chen, did not say anything, he was standing at the door covering his mouth and nose with a look of disgust, as if he was afraid of being infected.
Zhang shi had just found out that her husband was suffering from the sores of prisoners and that these side rooms had come to make a fuss, so she was immediately in a mess.
"What do you think? I'm a woman, how would I know this?”
Zhang shi's heart was in a mess as she randomly agreed.
Hearing Zhang shi's words, the other three households who had come to force the abdication looked at each other with determination in their eyes!
"This matter can't be spread out. Otherwise, if the Zhen family is in trouble, we have to 'get rid' of Big Brother immediately!”
Zhen Mao said with a hint of ruthlessness in his eyes.
Zhang shi instantly widened her eyes and looked at Zhen Mao in horror."Second Uncle, what did you say? How can you say that? My husband is your big brother!”
