Chapter 316: Favor
Editor: Atlas Studios
Bowen had moved his things back from the academy in the afternoon, a little depressed. Though he cheered up at the sight of his sister, his eyebrows still furrowed.
Seeing this, Mu Yangling could not help but pinch his bun-like face. “What are you worried about at such a young age?”
“Sister, I’ve grown up.” Bowen pulled down his sister’s hand and said with a frown, “My teacher is sick. We went to visit him in the morning. He’s very sick and his wife has been crying. I wonder if he can be cured.”
After saying that, his eyes reddened.
Stunned, Mu Yangling asked, “Why is it so serious? Didn’t they say it was just a cold?”
“But Teacher is already bedridden and has a high fever. I heard from his wife that he suffers from chills at night.” Bowen’s eyes were a little red. “It’s all our fault for not being obedient. Teacher was still teaching us even though he was already sick the day before yesterday. He fainted in class yesterday. Otherwise, we wouldn’t have known that Teacher was sick.”
“What did the doctor say?” Mu Yangling asked with concern.
As Bowen was not in good health, Teacher Liu had always taken good care of him. Naturally, Mu Yangling was very concerned about this problem.
“The doctor can’t say.” Bowen said disappointedly, “Teacher can’t afford good medicine. I’ve already given all my pocket money to his wife. Sister, let’s hire another doctor for Teacher so that he can get a better prescription.”
“How much pocket money can you have?” Mu Yangling glared at him. “That’s not right either. How do you know that Teacher Liu can’t afford good medicine? His family should have a lot of money too. He should be able to afford medicine, right?”
The cost of living in Mingshui County was not high. Considering Teacher Liu’s family also had land and fields, coupled with the tuition money he collected, his family should have a lot of savings.
“There are many people in Teacher’s family. In the past two years, the crop harvest has been lackluster. Teacher has been supporting the family with his tuition income. His wife said that Teacher has been sick for more than ten days this time. In spite of that, he had to teach us and create exam papers for us. In addition, there were many other things for him to do at home. When all these came together, Teacher’s illness became even more severe.” Bowen said, “Sister, I’ve seen his prescription. It’s good, but there are a few herbs that can be better. I’ve also asked the doctor. His wife asked him to change the previous prescription because they didn’t have enough money.”
