Chapter 1780: Chapter 1780: It Really Is Contagious

As soon as Gai Yalai spoke, Wan Caiyue and Nanny Zhang’s faces fell. How is it that they can’t escape this?

The Bai Family’s hall also became silent instantly. Jiang Yichun said with a stern face, ”Your health isn’t well, you need more rest. Let the child play on their own.”

Gai Yalai, with her face covered, couldn’t display a sorrowful expression, so she could only say with a choked voice, ”Brother Chun, I just want to see my grandson.”

Before Jiang Yichun could speak again, Lin Ping’er had already exploded.

She suddenly stood up from her seat, rushed to stand in front of Gai Yalai, and said, ”Madam Gu, you’re seriously ill, why can’t you properly recuperate instead of worrying about these trivial matters? And your illness causes skin sores that are easily contagious, can’t you pay some attention? It’s not like we’re the Bai Family looking down on you; we’re a kind household and couldn’t possibly drive you out of the residence. But why do you want to hold Dengdeng? If you really love your grandson, you should consider for the child; what if you infect him?”

Originally, Rongrong’s mother felt she didn’t fit in here, but now she didn’t want to leave, chiming in, ”Indeed, even when we’re slightly catching a cold or coughing, we’re cautious not to hold the child, fearing passing the illness onto them, not to mention a rare, strange disease.”

Bai Ruozhu inwardly cheered for her mother and Rongrong’s mother. Her mother had a fiery personality, as seen previously in the village. As for Rongrong’s mother, not to mention she’s quite reasonable, seldom speaking much ordinarily, yet today even she couldn’t stand it anymore.

”I...I was just too happy to see my grandson,” Gai Yalai said with tears in her voice, ”People close to death, just especially wish to see the younger generation. It’s my oversight, it’s my oversight.”

This Gai Yalai truly knows how to play the pity card, especially when mentioning ”close to death.” Not to mention Jiang Yichun, even those present felt a bit softened.

Unfortunately, it’s not like Lin Ping’er began disliking Gai Yalai today. She’s disliked her since the Capital City and doesn’t fall for her tricks at all.

”You shouldn’t be so pessimistic, Yichun is trying to find solutions for you, right? You should rest properly and not tire yourself out without even starting treatment. Even if you have the strength, let’s avoid burdening the children, alright? Just look at how thin Yichun has become!” Lin Ping’er spoke with a tone showing her heartache.

Everyone looked at Jiang Yichun, indeed, it was not just one circle he lost weight, but two.

Gai Yalai secretly cursed Lin Ping’er as a vulgar village woman, while trying to maintain a gentle, pitiful image without arguing with Lin Ping’er. Instead, she looked pitifully at Jiang Yichun as if the domineering Lin Ping’er was bullying her.

Lin Ping’er gazed at her manner, fuming with anger as her chest heaved. What kind of person is this? It would be better to straightforwardly vent.

Bai Ruozhu also looked at Jiang Yichun; since he had already expressed his stance, she chose not to speak and watched his reaction.

Yet Jiang Yichun didn’t look at Gai Yalai but said to her nurse, ”Nanny, my mother’s health isn’t well. She needs more rest. Please support her back. I’ve asked the kitchen to send meals to you. Please persuade her not to run around, which would aggravate her illness.”

The nanny had long been feeling unsettled, hurriedly replied, ”Yes, Master, this old servant will support Madam back to rest now.”

But Gai Yalai suddenly lost her temper, perhaps having pretended too long, she couldn’t hold it in anymore.

”Fine along the way, yet upon seeing Bai Ruozhu here, it turns contagious? If it can’t be treated, how is it known that it’s contagious? Why are both Brother Chun and my nurse unaffected? I struggled to reunite with my son and grandson, but now I’m being isolated, not allowed to speak to them; if this isn’t targeting me, what is?”

”Ruozhu has no reason to target you. You think too much due to your poor health. Go back and rest well.” Jiang Yichun gestured to the nanny to take Gai Yalai away. The nanny feared offending the Bai Family further or making Jiang Yichun’s heart even cooler, hurriedly went to support her.

Yet she angrily released the nanny’s hand, ”You’re my nurse, whose side are you really on?”

The nanny’s eyes turned red, treating Gai Yalai like her biological daughter; even at death, she’d protect Gai Yalai, but why can’t Gai Yalai recognize her intentions?

”Wait!” Bai Ruozhu called out, then quickly approached the nanny. Jiang Yichun followed nervously, fearing that Gai Yalai in excitement might bump into Bai Ruozhu’s belly.

Bai Ruozhu grabbed the sleeve of the nanny who had been hit and lifted it directly.

”Ah, there are red spots!” Lin Ping’er exclaimed.

The nanny was also shocked, ”How are there red spots? There weren’t any before; maybe it’s just pollen.”

”You’ve had injuries and haven’t served her closely, contact was minimal. Have you been in closer contact these few days? Did you help her apply some medicine?” Bai Ruozhu asked.

The nanny dumbfoundedly nodded, ”So it truly is contagious.”

Jiang Yihong’s face turned pale, especially since Gai Yalai had touched Dengdeng before and given Dengdeng a bracelet she wore.

”Nanny, don’t worry. You caught it early, with some medication it might improve, but this is a first for me too; I need to try to know.” Bai Ruozhu said.

Gai Yalai suddenly glared at Bai Ruozhu, ”She can get better with medication, why can’t you treat me? What do you want before you’ll cure me?”

Jiang Yichun stood in front of Bai Ruozhu, said in a grave voice, ”Your illness has been seen by many doctors along the way, none could identify it, no one could help. It’s normal that Ruozhu can’t help either. Just that nanny got some contagion and discovered it early, Ruozhu said her situation should improve with medication. She can treat; why wouldn’t she treat you? Are you waiting with this illness, always intending to touch Dengdeng?”

Gai Yalai froze, her gaze momentarily evasive, making Jiang Yichun realize she intentionally wanted to touch Dengdeng.

The nanny, seeing the bad situation, quickly pulled her and said, ”Madam, listen to the Master and go rest. The Master will find a way to save you.”

This time Gai Yalai dared not speak further, consented to be drawn out of the main courtyard by the nanny.

Lin Ping’er angrily spat into the yard, ”What nonsense!”

Bai Yihong quickly nudged her with his arm, she realizing her son-in-law was still present, had no choice but to hold back her ire.

”Min Xiang, wipe down where Madam Gu touched just now with this cloth, throw away the tea utensils she used.” Bai Ruozhu reminded, ”Use this cloth to protect your hands from contact, to avoid any rash.”

Min Xiang accepted the cloth soaked in strong liquor from Bai Ruozhu, meticulously wiping the places Gai Yalai sat, while Lin Ping’er beside her frowned at the sight, wanting to suggest not bothering to wipe, but simply burning the chair she sat on. Yet, considering the son-in-law’s feelings, Lin Ping’er suppressed her words.

Jiang Yichun’s expression was gravely serious, ”Father, Mother, I’m sorry for troubling you.”

Now he truly regretted not settling Gai Yalai at the Inn.
