"What? Fourth brother is sick?" Yang Ming’s mother asked worriedly.

Xiaoxiao nodded, "Yes."

Xiaoxiao started walking towards the big gate, but at this moment, Little Liufu was making a fuss, crying. Seeing this, the second brother’s wife stood up and said, "Third sister-in-law, don’t go. Stay home to comfort the child. I’ll go to the fish pond, and your second brother can go to town to buy medicine for the fourth brother."

Xiaoxiao thought it wasn’t a big deal, anyone could run this errand, so she agreed.

The second brother’s wife patted her clothes, shook off the thread remnants, and headed to the fish pond. Her steps were quick, indicating that she had something urgent.

At this moment, Li Chuntao was sitting at the courtyard gate.

She was completely focused on observing Yang Xiaocui, so she was either in the courtyard or at the gate, wanting to see if the man who came out of the mountain with Yang Xiaocui was from the village. Sitting at her doorstep, she often encountered people passing by, hoping to meet him.

Seeing Yang Dong’s second sister-in-law hurriedly walking over, she couldn’t help but ask, "Second sister-in-law, where are you rushing off to?"

Hearing the voice, Yang Gang’s wife stopped in her tracks, "Oh, it’s Chuntao. I heard you came back today. Come visit when you have time. These past few days, I’ve been home with the eldest sister-in-law and mother, preparing things for the eldest sister’s childbirth."

"Okay." Li Chuntao nodded.

Then she heard Yang Dong’s second sister-in-law say, "Chuntao, I can’t chat now. I must go quickly. Our fourth brother is sick, and I need to rush to the fish pond to send his second brother to town for medicine."

Hearing that Yang Dong was sick, Li Chuntao became anxious and quickly asked, "What illness?"

"He’s got a fever. The weather isn’t even cold, I don’t know how it happened. I must go now."

Yang Gang’s wife was about to leave when Li Chuntao grabbed her arm and said, "Second sister-in-law, I have herbs for fever here. Take them back and brew them for him quickly. Finding someone to run to town will take time."

Yang Gang’s wife, hearing that Li Chuntao had medicine, felt relieved as it saved her a trip. "Great, you’ve really helped us out."

"It’s nothing, it’s nothing."

Li Chuntao then invited Yang Gang’s wife into the courtyard and asked Alu to fetch the herbs.

Li Chuntao brought a lot of packages this time, thanks to her mother.

Besides the common herbs, there were also books, embroidery needles, and even a zither, just to prevent her from getting too bored and thinking too much about Yang Dong.

Initially, she didn’t want them, but now she’s grateful her mother brought so much. She can help Yang Dong, and she’s happy to do it.

"Second sister-in-law, boil these herbs in three bowls of water to make one bowl. It’s very effective for fevers. I use this at home when I have a fever." Li Chuntao handed the package to Yang Gang’s wife, not forgetting to remind her.

She was very worried and wished she could go and check on him.

Yang Gang’s wife took the herbs and thanked her, "Thank you, Chuntao. We would have had to run back and forth. I’ll go home now and brew the medicine for our fourth brother."

"Okay."

"Be sure to come to our house tomorrow, we’ll all be home." Yang Gang’s wife left, not forgetting to invite her.
