Chapter 274 It Tastes Terrible

Zhang Yunniang's footsteps suddenly seemed to be frozen by something.

She turned her head and looked at the child on the bed in the dim light. Even if his whole body was curled up, he still looked very strong.

Her heartache for the child was sudden.

"Mother... Mother..." Xie Xingchuan, who was lying on the bed, was still shouting.

Zhang Yunniang's heart seemed to be caught by something.

"Or, you can send Niuniu back, and I'll stay here with him." Zhang Yunniang said to Gu Mingda.

Gu Mingda was stunned when he heard it, and then said: "I know you feel sorry for this child, but people's words are scary."

Xie Xingchuan was twelve years old, and he was twenty years old. If the neighbors saw the two of them in the same room, they would probably gossip.

Gu Mingda looked at his wife's face, and the heartache was about to overflow. He sighed and said: "I'll send Niuniu back, and we'll stay here with him together."

Zhang Yunniang looked at her husband gratefully.

But Niuniu started to make a fuss again: "If you don't go back, I don't want to go back either. I want to take care of Brother Xie here!"

Zhang Yunniang asked: "Do you know how to take care of people?"

Niuniu took out a handkerchief on the spot, dipped it in water, and lay on the bed, gently wiping the sweat on Xie Xingchuan's forehead. She carefully unbuttoned Xie Xingchuan's collar and helped him cover the quilt.

"Oh, our Niuniu actually knows how to take care of people." Gu Mingda said sourly.

He, as a father, has not enjoyed Niuniu's care a few times, but Xie Xingchuan is so lucky.

Niuniu turned around and asked: "Mom, can I stay? I think Brother Xie needs my care. It's so hard for you to run back and forth in the middle of the night."

Zhang Yunniang saw that she was determined to do so, and after looking at her husband, she nodded helplessly.

"You can stay, but if you feel tired, tell us and we will send you back, understand?" Zhang Yunniang said.

Niu Niu cheered, then rushed to Xie Xingchuan's bedside and continued to wipe the sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief.

"Brother Xie has been sweating." Niu Niu suddenly said.

Gu Mingda heard this and immediately became alert. He stepped forward and put his palm on Xie Xingchuan's forehead: "Fortunately, there is no fever, just sweating."

Niu Niu wiped the sweat again and asked: "Did Brother Xie only drink wine at night and didn't eat anything else?"

Zhang Yunniang heard this and thought of the food she brought from home, so she asked Gu Mingda to help him up again.

"Let him eat something first, he can't be hungry like this." Zhang Yunniang said.

But Xie Xingchuan, who was helped up, suddenly threw himself forward, as if he could no longer control himself, and tilted his head to vomit all over the floor.

The room was suddenly filled with the sour and rancid smell of vomited food.

"Uncomfortable..." Xie Xingchuan said with a bitter face.

Zhang Yunniang looked at him with great distress, and then brought a glass of water to his mouth.

Xie Xingchuan almost wolfed down the glass of water.

"Mom, my head hurts so much." Xie Xingchuan said to Zhang Yunniang.

Although he was tall, he was actually only twelve years old. The headache from being drunk made him particularly want to seek some kind of support. His eyes were blurry at this time, and he couldn't see who was in front of him. He just grabbed Zhang Yunniang's sleeve tightly.

"It hurts so much, mom, my head hurts, and my face hurts too..."

Zhang Yunniang was heartbroken by his shouting. She seemed to see her lost second son in a trance, and thought of him being sent to the palace by those damn kidnappers.

How could such a big child endure the pain of castration.

Niuniu climbed onto the bed and gently untied the mask on Xie Xingchuan's face.

"Niuniu, don't!"

Niuniu moved too quickly, and Gu Mingda's stop was one step behind.

Niuniu whispered: "Brother said his face hurts. Is it because of the pressure of the mask that he feels uncomfortable?"

The mask fell off, revealing a face full of scars.

Gu Mingda sighed. Xie Xingchuan didn't like to take off his mask. He was afraid that the child would be unhappy when he woke up.

"Forget it. We have all seen your brother Xie's face under the mask. He shouldn't be angry with you for this." Gu Mingda said.

Niuniu puffed up her belly and said, "Brother Xie has the best temper. He won't blame me."

Gu Mingda thought of Xie Xingchuan's cold face all year round, and couldn't figure out where Niuniu's confidence came from.

Xie Xingchuan vomited all over the floor. Zhang Yunniang dug a pile of soil to cover it, and the smell in the room finally dissipated a little.

The couple wanted to feed Xie Xingchuan some food, but when the child heard that he wanted to eat, he closed his mouth tightly. The two had no way to pry it open, so they had to give up.

"Let the child sleep on his side. If he vomits again when he sleeps on his back, it is likely to block his throat. How uncomfortable he is." Zhang Yunniang reminded softly.

Gu Mingda gently turned Xie Xingchuan's body to the side.

Niuniu, who had been trying to take care of Xie Xingchuan, couldn't help rubbing her eyes.

"My dear, eat something before going to sleep. You didn't eat anything at night." Zhang Yunniang reminded softly.

She fed Niuniu some of the hot food.

Niuniu nodded while eating, and her sleepy look was like a chicken pecking at rice.

When they were almost done eating, Zhang Yunniang said again: "Be good, go walk around the yard for two laps and then come back to sleep."

Niuniu refused to get up from the chair. She was really too sleepy.

Zhang Yunniang had no choice but to pick up the child and gently and firmly pulled her to walk around the yard for two laps.

"You can't go to bed right after eating. At least you have to digest the food." Zhang Yunniang said softly.

Niuniu was so sleepy that she couldn't open her eyes. She closed her eyes and stretched out her hands, asking for a hug.

Zhang Yunniang had no choice but to hold the child in her arms. Almost the moment she held the child, Niuniu's head tilted and fell on Zhang Yunniang's shoulder. Zhang Yunniang had no choice but to carry the child back to the house.

"Falling asleep?" Zhang Yunniang couldn't see Niuniu's face buried behind her shoulder.

Gu Mingda nodded, and then pointed to the other side of the bed.

Zhang Yunniang put Niuniu down gently, covered her with a quilt, turned her head and frowned at the ground.

Xie Xingchuan vomited again.

"He vomited so much, how could he have anything in his stomach? How hungry must he be?" Zhang Yunniang said softly.

Gu Mingda had no choice but to say, "When this child heard about eating, he kept his mouth shut. He can only go hungry for one meal."

Zhang Yunniang shoveled some soil and covered the new vomit.

The two children slept in the bed, and the couple sat on the chair all night. This night was not peaceful, and Xie Xingchuan vomited twice.

When it was dawn, the couple's eyes were full of red bloodshot.

"I'll go make something to eat." Zhang Yunniang tried to go into the kitchen to make breakfast.

Gu Mingda stopped her and said, "I heard the neighbors got up. Spend some money and let them make something to eat. You close your eyes and take a nap."

The neighbors were very happy to earn extra money.

The middle-aged man smiled and said, "It's okay, as long as you like it. Does anyone like the food made by my wife?"

Gu Mingda felt a little weird when he first heard this. The sequelae of staying up late made his brain turn slowly, and he didn't think deeply.

When the couple next door diligently brought the breakfast, Xie Xingchuan woke up.

The four people sat at the table. Just as they picked up the bowl and took a bite, the four people almost vomited together.

"It tastes terrible!" Niu Niu said with a frown.
