The Fulang's Modern Young Husband Chapter 431 Part 1

Chapter 431

Meng Ruqing struggled to sit up, and Fang Zichen helped him.

Meng Ruqing pursed his lips nervously: "Did I scare you last night?"

Fang Zichen nodded, but seeing Meng Ruqing's expression fall, he immediately shook his head:

"No way! What do I have to be scared of? I'm full of righteous energy — I fear nothing in heaven or on earth. To be honest, I learned a trick or two from Lam Ching-ying. Ordinary ghosts and monsters don't faze me. Before I got together with Zhao Ger, I was so brave and fearless that I couldn't shake off all the girls chasing me. I've even kept vigil over the dead before. This is nothing."

Zhao Ger brought the medicine in. Meng Ruqing drank it and soon grew drowsy.

Seeing him struggling to stay awake, glancing at him from time to time as if afraid he'd leave, Fang Zichen moved closer: "Go to sleep."

Meng Ruqing said nothing, just gripped his wrist harder.

"I won't leave," Fang Zichen said.

Meng Ruqing looked at him.

Fang Zichen said: "Really."

Fang Zichen suddenly remembered what state he'd been in when Guaizai was taken by Sun Shangcheng.

Every second had felt like a lifetime. He had nearly gone mad. That despair, that terror, that panic—it was seared into his bones, something he'd remember for the rest of his life.

Maybe it was because he was a parent now that he could understand what a child truly meant.

A child was more important than life itself—something worth risking everything for.

Chapter 430

Aunt Liu blamed herself terribly. Meng Ruqing had been coughing on and off for days. But many people in the village were like that. Once winter set in, catching a slight chill often meant a few days of coughing. The villagers were used to hardship — generally, unless it was serious, they didn't see a physician. They'd just tough it out, drink some ginger soup, and it would pass. Nothing serious. Besides, Qin Hengxuan had later sent someone to town to fetch several doses of medicine, and Meng Ruqing had been taking it for days. Aunt Liu had thought there was nothing to worry about.

So at noon, when he was out picking vegetables with her, she'd casually mentioned it.

Qin Hengxuan knew that aside from his kids, Fang Zichen doted on his fulang the most. Once Zhao Ger spoke, it carried more weight than anything else. If Zhao Ger told Fang Zichen to climb to the heavens, Fang Zichen would probably do it.

He wanted to ask Zhao Ger for more help, but Zhao Ger looked troubled. It wasn't that he didn't want to help!

If he said too much, his husband might beat him later!

"There's no rush for this sort of thing," he said at last.

The stove was already lit. Aunt Liu washed and smashed the ginger and put it in the pot. Just then Zhao Ger came in. Learning that Meng Ruqing wasn't feeling well, he wanted to take him to town to see a physician. Meng Ruqing shook his head: "It's nothing serious. Some ginger tea will do. I've never seen anyone kill a pig—I'd like to watch."

Besides the butcher, Uncle Liu had called several men and women from the village to help. Fang Zichen loved sleeping in—everyone had arrived and he was still snoring in bed with the two children.

Meng Ruqing glanced a few times toward his room, then went to help Zhao Ger.

That evening there was a full table of dishes, all cooked by Zhao Ger, with Yang Mingyi and Zhou Ger helping out. The children didn't know what was going on. Although Guaizai understood a little, he didn't dare say a word. Seeing his two little brothers eating happily with their bowls, he silently ate too.

When Meng Ruqing saw that Fang Zichen was willing to come out and eat, he breathed a sigh of relief.

He had to eat—he hadn't eaten anything at noon. As the saying goes, people are iron and food is steel; skip a meal and you'll be starving. No matter what's troubling you, you have to get a few bowls of rice in you first.
