Chapter 105 - Wrong Food

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Yan Xi did not expect it to happen so quickly.

‘The Gu family was already in a mess. Some were chattering at the back, and some were shouting in front of Old Master Gu.

“Dad, what’s wrong? Hang in there. I’ll help you to the sofa to rest.”

Old Master Gu frowned even more. He panted heavily and was in so much pain that he couldn’t speak.

Yan Xi squeezed to the front. “Grandfather, let me help you to the sofa to rest. Are you feeling unwell anywhere, your stomach?”

Old Master Gu moved his hand and pointed at his stomach.

It was rare for Gu Ling to be so smart. She shouted, “Dad was fine just now. Why did you become like this after just a few mouthfuls of porridge? Is there a problem with the food in the kitchen? Auntie Zhang, come here!”

Auntie Zhang panicked as well. When she ran over, her feet slipped a few times and she complained in her heart, “Miss Gu Ling, I made Master’s food myself. How can there be a problem? You can’t slander me like this!”

“Besides…” Auntie Zhang’s eyes darted around and finally landed on Yan Xi.” Also, Madam went into the kitchen today. Maybe she put something bad in the porridge! ”

“Auntie Zhang, be careful with what you say.” Gu Shen looked at her, his eyes dark.

“Tm not spouting nonsense.” Auntie Zhang was so scared that she shivered, but she gritted her teeth and did not take back her words.

Gu Ling quickly tried to smooth things over, “Alright, what’s the use of talking here? We’ll know when the doctor comes over. Auntie Zhang, don’t put the blame on others next time.”

Auntie Zhang felt aggrieved. “I really didn’t.”

‘There was still some time before the doctor arrived. Yan Xi walked over and squatted beside Old Master Gu. “Grandpa, if your stomach feels uncomfortable, it’s very likely that there is too much gas in it. Do you want me to massage it for you?”

Old Master Gu nodded.

Yan Xi placed her hand on his ribs, then inch by inch, she pressed on his stomach.

“Does it hurt here?”

Old Master Gu gasped. Yan Xi said gently, “Grandfather, hang in there. It’ll be done soon.”

After all, it was not a serious disease. The correct massage could relieve pain.

Yan Xi used a little force and rotated clockwise on his stomach with her palm a few times.

“Grandpa, do you feel better now?”

Old Master Gu took a few breaths and felt much more at ease. The pain in his stomach also eased. “It’s indeed not that bad. Keep going.”

Yan Xi smiled. “Sure.”

When the family doctor rushed over, Old Master Gu was already fine, but he still let the doctor check him.

He said the same thing as Yan Xi. “Master is bloated. What has he been eating recently?”

“Potato porridge.” Yan Xi glanced at Auntie Zhang. “Grandpa just ate this morning.”

‘The doctor frowned and said in a serious tone, “Didn’t I say before that Old Master’s stomach is not good? He needs to eat less bean food, dairy products, and food like potatoes! Luckily, Young Madam is here this time. Otherwise, who knows what would have happened.”

“I…” Auntie Zhang was at a loss for words. She lowered her head and let the doctor speak.

“I just happened to know something about this. I wanted to make Grandfather feel better.” Yan Xi handed a glass of warm water to Old Master Gu. “But Grandfather is really something. You didn’t even make a sound when you were in pain. You’re indeed a soldier.”

Old Master Gu smiled. “I’ve been in the military for many years. This pain is nothing.”

“Grandfather is really admirable, but…” Yan Xi changed the topic.” You didn’t have to suffer this at all. You must remind Auntie Zhang not to give you wrong food again. You sweated and bled on the battlefield, why do you have to suffer so much at home?”

Auntie Zhang’s forehead was already covered in cold sweat. “Old Master, I’ll remember this. I won’t make such a mistake again.”

Yan Xi knew when to stop, but Gu Ling continued after her, “Auntie Zhang, your mistake caused my father to suffer greatly. Luckily, my father didn’t eat much this time. If he had eaten more, he would have been killed by you!”

“Miss Gu Ling, why would I hurt Old Master? I… I really forgot.”

“I think you are too old to remember things. How can we be at ease if you are the one taking care of my father?” Gu Ling said with disdain, “If you ask me, I think we should find a few servants for our father so that nothing like that happens..”
