Chapter 207: Bad News Travels Fast

Song Yueqin was no better off, originally staying at home and sleeping would have been so much better, but due to this commotion, she also lay down, each occupying one side of the k'ang, both running a high fever waiting for the doctor to come and see them.

Song Jincai was infuriated by the mother-daughter duo, but he couldn't just watch them fall ill; after making sure the two were settled, he went to call the village doctor.

The village doctor hadn't even gone to the clinic yet, so he didn't wait and went to their door early in the morning, just past six o'clock.

Dr. Liu put on his clothes and came out, and upon seeing it was Song Jincai, he was sweating profusely, his face flushed red and spoke in a rush as if afraid that speaking too slowly would have someone steal his words, "Dr. Liu, come with me quickly, both people in our family are sick! They're running a fever, over forty degrees."
