The daily life of a space tycoon raising children, doting on his husband, and farming.

Chapter 192 One Step Away

"Stone, hang it up." Shang Wan wasn't afraid of tough opponents; she wanted to see just how tough Yu Er was.

Upon receiving the order, Shi Tou dragged Yu Er out and hung him upside down from a tree.

Despite Yu Da's pleas, Shang Wan didn't even lift her eyelids, "Hang them both up."

Seeing Yu Da also hanging upside down, Yu Er was so angry that he cursed, "One should take responsibility for one's own actions. If you're going to punish me, then punish me. Why punish my brother?"

Shang Wan didn't answer him, and Shi Tou, annoyed by the noise, simply shut them both up.

Shang Wan said, "Put it down in an hour."

"it is good."

Yuanyuan raised her little hand and patted her, "Mommy."

The little boy pointed to the two uncles hanging upside down in a row outside the tree, not understanding why they were being hung up.

Shang Wan earnestly lied, "Being picky about food is bad for your health. Mother is helping them develop good habits."

The rest: "..."

Roundy blinked her big eyes and understood an important truth.

—If she's picky about food, her mother will hang her on a tree. She doesn't want to be hung on a tree, so she can't be picky about food.

Chu Xu, who doesn't like eating vegetables, glanced at Shang Wan's expression and took the initiative to reach out his chopsticks to the bok choy.

Shangwan said that today's parenting mini-class was also very successful.

An hour later, Yu Dayu was taken down from the tree by Shi Tou.

Yu Er had already fainted, while Yu Da was barely awake, his stomach rumbling like thunder.

As Xiao Huan gathered the rope, she said, "There are leftovers in the kitchen."

Upon hearing this, Yu Da quickly expressed his gratitude.

He was so hungry he felt dizzy and lightheaded. He stumbled to the kitchen, and before he could even bring the dishes out, he grabbed a bowl and chopsticks and started eating.

The leftovers contained both vegetables and meat, and although they were cold, they were a delicacy for Yu Da at that moment.

He also found two steamed buns in the steamer, ate one himself, and left one for his younger brother.

Having eaten until he was about 70% full, and having already finished most of the leftovers, Yu Da, thinking of his younger brother, quickly poured the remaining food into a large bowl and carried it to the side room to find Yu Er.

Yu Er was still unconscious, his forehead burning hot.

Yu Da fed him water, but he couldn't wake him up no matter what. Worried that his younger brother would die if the fever continued, he gritted his teeth and ran to find Shang Wan.

Shang Wan was watching Lu Chengjing paint in the study. The painting depicted two children playing on a couch by the window.

Chu Xu was miserably copying books, while Yuan Yuan was responsible for causing trouble... no, playing around.

She's busy printing flowers on paper with her little hands.

A mark was also left on Chu Xu's fair and tender face.

The young master wasn't angry; in return, he drew a small flower on his round forehead.

When Shang Wan came in and saw it, she laughed so hard her shoulders twitched, and politely declined Yuan Yuan's small request to print a little flower for her as well.

Lu Chengjing, in a rare moment of inspiration, put down his book and began to draw the two children.

Yu Da rushed over, and even though he was extremely anxious, he first knocked cautiously on the door.

Shang Wan didn't let him in and disturb the fun of the adults and children, so she opened the door and went out.

He knelt down before her with his thighs bent, "Madam, Yu Er's whole body is burning like charcoal. What if he becomes mentally impaired? How will he work for you then? Please, Madam, find a doctor for Yu Er."

Shang Wan sneered, "A fool doesn't have that many crooked thoughts. He still does his work. What's wrong with that?" Yu Da was anxious and had no time to play games with Shang Wan. "Madam, as long as you are willing to save Yu Er, just tell me what you want me to do."

Looking at his sweaty face, Shang Wan thought to herself that this man was quite flexible and willing to go to great lengths for his younger brother.

“I’ve made it very clear from the beginning that I kept you here to do farm work, not to be picky and demanding, and certainly not to cause trouble for myself and my family.”

General Yu lowered his head even further, saying, "Madam, rest assured, we will never do it again."

Seeing that he was obedient, Shang Wan also relented, "You have already signed the contract of servitude, and now you are my people. As long as you do your job well, I will naturally not make things difficult for you."

Yu Da: "I will remember."

"Go find Stone, he will lead you to a doctor to get medicine." Shang Wan did not intend to feed Yu Er the spiritual spring water again.

Yu thanked them profusely, and only after receiving Shang Wan's permission did he stand up and run to find the stone.

Shang Wan silently watched his retreating figure.

Yu Da's weakness is Yu Er. As long as Yu Er is controlled, there's no need to worry about Yu Da being disobedient.

Yu Er was stubborn, but as long as he was afraid of death, he could never be outdone by the whip.

The two checked and balanced each other.

Now, there's just one more step.

·
Shi Tou led Yu Da to the Yuan family, explained the symptoms, and asked Yuan Musheng to prescribe medicine.

Yu Da was a stranger. He was tall and had a fierce look in his brows. After taking a few more glances, Rong Niangzi felt that Yu Da was not a good person.

She beckoned Shi Tou to the side and asked in a low voice, "Who is he? Is he a relative of yours?"

Lu Chengjing had already prepared identities for the two of them. Shi Tou said, "I am a distant relative of my sister's family. My family offended someone, and all but two brothers died. They were forced to live and found out about my sister's family, so they came to seek refuge here."

Upon hearing that someone had been offended, Madam Rong frowned and asked curiously, "Who did you offend?"

"It seems to be some kind of official," Shi Tou said vaguely, winking at Rong Niangzi and letting her figure it out herself.

Rong Niangzi immediately misunderstood, spontaneously conjuring up a scene of officials persecuting innocent people, who were powerless to resist, and couldn't help but sigh.

Then, as if remembering something, she tugged at Shi Tou's sleeve and pulled him aside, whispering, "We ordinary people can't afford to offend officials. Your sister-in-law is just kind-hearted. Go back and persuade her to think it over carefully, so she won't get implicated."

Shi Tou knew that Madam Rong meant well; otherwise, she wouldn't have said such offensive things. He nodded repeatedly to show that he understood.

The two took the medicine, paid, and said goodbye.

On the way back, when they encountered villagers, they all looked at Yu Da with curiosity.

Yu Danian was annoyed by the stares at her brother's illness. She glared at him fiercely, scaring the villagers so much that they dared not ask any questions.

Shi Tou was very satisfied with the result. He smiled at the villagers he knew and quickened his pace to go home.

Xiao Huan had already found the medicine pot and washed it clean. Yu Da thanked her gratefully, then went to the side room to check on Yu Er after decocting the medicine.

Yu Er was still unconscious, covered in sweat, but his forehead wasn't as hot anymore.

Yu Da breathed a sigh of relief and lifted Yu Er's trouser leg to check the injury on his leg.

The wound is red and swollen, but it hasn't filled with pus. However, given the hot weather, if it continues to swell like this, the leg might become useless.

He drew water from the well to clean the wound again, and then applied the ointment he had bought from the Yuan family to Yu Er.

After finishing everything, he quickly went to keep an eye on the medicine on the stove.

Under the tree, Xiao Huan nudged Shi Tou's arm and gestured with her chin toward the kitchen, "Hey, guess when he'll run away?"

"We have to wait until the one in bed has fully recovered from his injuries," Stone muttered, a blade of grass dangling from his mouth. "I've kept track of the money for their medicine, and I'll deduct it from their wages."

Xiao Huan glanced at him. "Do you think I'd pay them wages?"
