This time, Zhang Tie's mom fell sick without any omen.
On the 2nd day after Zhang Tie came back, namely on the 14th, Linda, Beverly and Fiona got up early as usual and went to the main mansion to greet their parents-in-law in case of being laughed at by their family members. After that, they had breakfast together. Zhang Tie's mom looked normal at that time. However, in the evening, when the family members gathered at the same table once again, Zhang Tie's mom's appetite became a bit lighter. She ate one bowl less rice. Nobody cared about that at that time because Zhang Tie's mom was always healthy. Unexpectedly, Zhang Tie's mom fell sick on the morning of the 15th. When she ate breakfast, she suddenly felt dizzy as if the sky was spinning. Therefore, she sat down on the ground.
Zhang Tie and Zhang Yang were both shocked while the entire Zhang mansion became chaotic at once.
...
On the noon of the 15th, Zhang Tie, Zhang Yang, Zhang Tie's elder sister-in-law and Linda were waiting outside the bedroom of Zhang Tie's parents quietly.
The best doctor across Huaiyuan Palace had already entered the bedroom to feel the pulse of Zhang Tie's mom. In order not to disturb the doctor, all the others in the bedroom left for the time being, leaving only Zhang Tie's dad in the bedroom.
Although Zhang Tie was a knight, he was not a doctor. Therefore, he was not proficient in medical diagnosis. As a pharmacist, Zhang Yang was just a half doctor. When Zhang Tie and Zhang Yang couldn't figure out the cause of his mom's illness, they could only entrust it to the best doctor.
"How's mom these days?" Zhang Tie asked Zhang Yang.
Zhang Yang revealed a bitter smile. "You know, mom's always in good health. Additionally, dad and mom have been taking all-purpose medicament these years. Mom doesn't need to worry about the affairs at home and abroad. I don't know why mom suddenly fell sick! "
When the two brothers were talking, the door of the bedroom had been opened while Zhang Tie's dad walked out with a doctor whose hair and beard were as white as silver and a female assistant of the doctor.
"Elder Mushen..." At the sight of Zhang Tie, the doctor and the female assistant hurriedly bowed towards Zhang Tie. In Huaiyuan Palace, the identity of an elder was enough to suppress people to death.
"Mr. Sun, how's my mom?" How's my mom? "Zhang Tie hurriedly moved one step forward as he asked anxiously.
"En. This … "The doctor looked around, wanting to say something, but hesitated.
"Let's talk about it in the parlor!" Zhang Yang threw a glance at Zhang Tie. Zhang Tie nodded as he told Linda, Beverly and Fiona. "Go to the room with sister-in-law to talk to my mother first. I'll be right there! "
The women looked at each other and entered the room.
Zhang Tie, Zhang Yang, Zhang Ping and Dr. Sun came to a small parlor. Dr. Sun's assistant was arranged to rest in another room for the time being under the guidance of a servant in Zhang's mansion.
When he saw that there were only four people, Doctor Sun told them the truth.
"Old Madam's illness isn't a physical illness but a mental illness!" Doctor Sun said solemnly.
Although Doctor Sun was older than Zhang Tie's parents, as Zhang Tie was a clan elder, Doctor Sun's age was higher than Zhang Tie's parents. She was the mother of an elder of the family. This Doctor Sun could only use the honorific 'Old Lady'.
Heart disease? Zhang Tie, Zhang Yang and Zhang Ping exchanged a glance with each other as they didn't know what Zhang Tie meant.
"Mr. Sun, could you explain it in detail?" Zhang Ping asked.
"I've carefully felt old madam's pulse just now. I found that old madam's five viscera and meridians are fine except for her heart meridian. It's caused by worrying about her all the time!"
"Ahh, how come?" Hearing Doctor Sun's words, Zhang Yang raised his eyebrows as he sprung up at once. Doctor Sun's words almost implied that his mom didn't live a happy life with him. Zhang Yang couldn't accept it at all. He felt that he had been greatly insulted and was about to burst out. "Mr. Sun, you know the poor condition of my family. My mom doesn't have to work hard in daily life. In this family, all the daughters-in-law and grandchildren are obedient and filial in front of her. Nobody dares go against her will to do anything. My mom always smiles in front of her grandchildren and looks very happy. How could she be worried and worried all day long?"
"Old madam's illness is not caused by poor living conditions, but by worrying about someone or something all the time. As a result, her heart meridian became a knot. When it broke out, old madam felt weak all over and low spirited. Additionally, I found that old madam's heart meridian didn't form in only 2-3 years; instead, it has accumulated for almost 10 years. In the past 10 years, old madam couldn't forget about someone or something. Therefore, she became sick. "
After hearing this, Zhang Tie became still at once like being struck by a lightning bolt. '10 years? I joined the Iron-Blood Camp of Norman Empire in 889th year and joined the war in Kalur Theater of Operations. Isn't it 10 years?'
Doctor Sun explained seriously as he didn't notice that Zhang Tie's face suddenly turned a bit pale. He even turned around and asked Zhang Ping, "Your madam always worried about someone or something over the past 10 years. She needs mental medicine to cure her illness. As the heart is the master of one's body, when the heart meridian is not smooth, all kinds of diseases would arise at the same time. If old madam couldn't solve the problem that she was worried about and make old madam happy, she might recover in a short period with the help of medicine. However, if the root of the disease is not cured, I'm afraid that your madam's disease might worsen in a long time."
Zhang Ping wanted to say something; however, after throwing a glance at Zhang Tie, he let out a sigh, "Thank you, Mr. Sun. I see. Mr. Sun, please leave a prescription. We will take care of her for a few days. If there's any problem, we will invite Mr. Sun to take a look!"
Mr. Sun nodded as he took out a medicinal stick and wrote a prescription. After that, Zhang Yang took it and glanced at the prescription. Zhang Ping nodded.
"Zhang Yang, send Mr. Sun back!" Zhang Ping told Zhang Yang.
Zhang Yang threw a glance at Zhang Tie before nodding. Zhang Yang then sent Mr. Sun out politely.
When only Zhang Tie and Zhang Ping were left in the room, Zhang Tie moved his eyes onto his dad as he asked in a quivering voice, "Dad … do you think … mom has been worried about me these years?"
Zhang Ping's face turned gloomy at once, "Your mom doesn't say it in normal days. However, she would always call your pet name, Guoguo, Guoguo. Sometimes, she would wake up with a start. Since you left Blackhot City to join the war between Norman Empire and Sun Dynasty, your mom started to be a vegetarian. She prayed for you all day long. She prayed for you all day long. However, your mom didn't allow me to tell you that. She said that she was afraid that you would be distracted and face more dangers on the battlefield. Over these years, your mom could only sleep a bit better when you returned home. That time when you sent Linda, Beverly and Fiona to Huaiyuan Prefecture. After you sent Linda and Beverly to Huaiyuan Prefecture, you disappeared for a few years. During those years, your mom's pillow was wet every morning. When you came back two days ago and mentioned what you encountered and fought in Selnes Theater of Operations and outside Upton City, your mom burst out into tears when she returned to her room. She said that if you had to fight for your wealth on the battlefield, she would rather sell rice brew for your safety … "
Hearing his dad's words, Zhang Tie's eyes turned red as tears surged out. He had not imagined that his mom could be so worried about him during these years when he left home. Over the past 10 years, he had not slept well at all. Therefore, he became sick due to worry.
Zhang Tie thought about it carefully, 'Over these years, with the help of Castle of Black Iron, I always wandered around the gate of hell and danced on the tip of the blade. However, I've never thought about my mom's feeling and how worried she was about me at home. What an asshole!'
'My parents' kindness is as heavy as a mountain.
My mom has already experienced the pain of losing her son. How should she worry about me every day and whether I could come back to her alive? '
'Even if I became a knight, if I couldn't make the most important people in my life happy, it's meaningless for me to fight outside all day long.'
After hearing Zhang Yang's footsteps, Zhang Tie wiped off his tears as he revealed a smile towards his dad, "Don't worry, dad. I know what to do. I will make mom recover gradually!"
Zhang Yang pushed open the door and entered. After glancing at Zhang Tie's tear stains, he understood it, "Mr. Sun has been sent away!"
"Have you dealt with the affairs of the business group at home?" Like other common parents, Zhang Tie's dad also asked about Zhang Yang's job out of concern.
"Hmm, there's nothing special in Jinwu Business Group today. A difference engine that we ordered has arrived at the Embracing Tiger Harbor yesterday!"
It was definitely a milestone for a business group to use a senior difference engine to deal with complex transactions and various information. If a business group didn't reach a certain scale, it would never use such a senior, expensive difference engine which required a lot of professionals to take care of it.
"Elder brother, give me the prescription. I will boil the medicine for mom. Dad and I will stay at home. You go deal with the affairs of the business group!"
After being silent for a short while, Zhang Yang gave the prescription to Zhang Tie, "Well, all the medicines on the prescription are in the warehouse of our family. You just need to use them. As you're at home, I will not say anything more. The business group that sent the difference engine here is the business group of Fan Clan in Yingzhou Province. A CEO of Fan Clan's business group sent it here. Fan Clan might be our in-laws in the future. It's not good if I don't welcome them!"
"In-laws?" Zhang Tie threw a glance at Zhang Yang, "Elder brother, are you going to get married again?"
"It's you who is going to marry a woman of Fan Clan, not me!" Zhang Yang replied with a smile.
"Me?" Zhang Tie became amazed.
"Ahem … ahem …" Zhang Tie's dad coughed twice bashfully, "Your mom and I made a decision a few years ago in Fuhai City. Previously, I wanted to tell you about it in a few days. When your mom feels better, she will tell you about it. Go boil the medicine first!"
As it was just a marriage, Zhang Tie didn't say anything more. He took the prescription and left the parlor.
…
Zhang Tie filled the prescription and boiled the medicine himself. Finally, he came to his mom's room with the cold medicine and helped her take it.
"I'm good before. I don't know why, when I got up today, I felt sick. I'm old! " After drinking Zhang Tie's medicine, Zhang Tie's mom watched Zhang Tie with a loving look as she revealed a smile.
"Mom, what are you talking about? I'm told that people should be a bit sick occasionally. The doctor said you're fine. You just didn't have a good rest these days. Therefore, you're a bit tired. As long as you take a good rest at home for a few days, you will recover! "Zhang Tie put away the bowl of medicine and said with a relaxed look. "No matter what, I will not run around anymore. I have a lot of time to stay at home and wait for you to recover, mom. I'm still waiting for you to make rice brew for me, mom. During these years, whenever I thought of your rice brew, I would be so greedy that I almost rebelled against you! Previously, I was reluctant to eat a bowl of rice brew that cost several copper coins. Now, I can't even buy a bowl of rice brew that tastes as good as yours with hundreds of gold coins. As an elder of Huaiyuan Palace, I can't even have a bowl of rice brew. Mom, tell me, is it a tough life? "
After saying that, Zhang Tie even let out a sigh on purpose with a sad look.
Zhang Tie's sisters-in-law and Linda, Beverly and Fiona were all listening to Zhang Tie's words. Hearing Zhang Tie's words, they all burst out into laughter, making the atmosphere in the room more relaxed.
Zhang Tie's mom also burst out into laughter as her eyes sparkled at once. She then straightened up her body and stared at Zhang Tie, "Are you not going to leave this time?"
"Unless you drive me away, mom, I will not leave. I have to eat your rice brew and make up for all these years!" Zhang Tie grinned.
"You're not coaxing your mom on purpose, are you?" Zhang Tie's mom asked seriously.
Zhang Tie shrugged, "Taixia Country is as powerful as a rock. It's peaceful across the country. Waii Sub-continent has long become a dead end. There's nothing to fight for. Where else should I go? I've fought enough outside these years. If others want to fight demons, just let them. No matter what, I will not go there. The world is not mine. I don't need to worry about it. Even if the sky collapses, there's someone who can save me. "
After exchanging a glance with each other, those women then walked out of the room quietly.
Zhang Tie then told Linda, Beverly and Fiona and his three sisters-in-law to leave. After that, he stayed beside his mom's bed. Holding his mom's hand which was still rough after dozens of years' hard work, Zhang Tie watched the wisp of white hair on his mom's temple as he dropped off tears unconsciously …
At this moment, Zhang Tie felt that it was more meaningful than anything else to hold his mom's hand and watch her sleep peacefully …
'Holy war, Earth-elements Realm, demons, Three-eye Association, f * ck off …'
…
At this moment, Taixia Country was still as firm as a rock. However, it was definitely not tranquil. Hidden forces were surging everywhere. Even Youzhou Province which was far away from the prosperous center of Taixia Country was not tranquil …
