Chapter 44 Encounter
Liu Zhihua sighed after hearing this: "Stop talking about these words, Mu Cheng, what happened to your mother, and what happened at home."
Mu Cheng thought of the tragic situation at home. He bit his lips to hold back the tears and clenched his fists and said, "My mother was seriously injured and was bedridden all year round taking medicine. The family relied on my father to make money by transporting goods by boat.
My father disappeared suddenly. It took me a long time to find him. I don’t know who he offended. His whole body was beaten with fractures. He is still lying unconscious at home. He spent all his money on medicine and treatment. He borrowed money from everywhere, but his relatives
They all stayed behind closed doors. Seeing that my father couldn’t provide the medicine, my mother cried and took out these things and asked me to come to my aunt."
Relatives couldn't avoid him. He wanted to go out and make money. When those people saw his face, they told him to get out. He took the cloth and ran to the dock to carry rice bags for others to make money, but they thought he was too thin.
Really desperate, he had no choice but to listen to his mother and come find his aunt.
Liu Zhihua's eyes were filled with tears when she heard this, and she let out a long sigh and said, "I thought your mother had lived a good life these years, but she didn't expect that life would be so difficult. She is a miserable person."
Mu Cheng nodded with red eyes and choked with sobs: "Auntie, my mother is really suffering. I heard from my father that she saved my mother from a trafficker on a boat trip. Later, my mother stayed here to repay her kindness. She didn't contact her.
You must have your own reasons."
"There is such a thing!" Liu Zhihua was shocked when she heard this.
When Mingming Xiuhua's uncle took her away and said he wanted to raise her as a daughter, how could she fall into the hands of a trafficker?
Is it possible that the family sold it out of bad intentions?
The more I think about it, the more I think it is like this. No wonder Xiuhua has not heard about her whereabouts for so many years. A young girl with a yellow flower fell into the hands of those people. You don’t need to think about it to know what the consequences will be...
Liu Zhihua was so angry that she slapped her hand on the wooden table angrily and yelled painfully: "That person who has no conscience in the family is not afraid that Uncle Liu and Aunt Liu will go find him in the middle of the night!"
Listening to this, Jiaojiao also felt that her elder brother's family was pitiful. Unexpectedly, her mother suddenly slammed the table, startling both her and the cat in her arms. The cat burrowed straight into her arms, "Meow meow..."
"Meow meow is not afraid." Jiaojiao sniffed and comforted the kitten.
Perhaps because her delicate body has spiritual power, the cat nestled in her arms obediently.
Seeing that her actions scared Jiaojiao, Liu Zhihua hurriedly patted Guabao on the back and coaxed softly: "Don't be afraid, Jiaojiao. Mom is scolding those bad people."
As she spoke, Liu Zhihua swallowed the suffocating feeling in her heart, but when she thought of the suffering Xiuhua had experienced, her eyes and nose turned red with anger.
If she can let her children come to her, there must be no other way out.
Liu Zhihua wiped her tears, sighed and climbed onto the kang, rummaged through a money bag from the wooden cabinet where the bedding was placed, poured out the naked clothes given to her by Yingniang, gritted her teeth and took two.
After getting down to the ground, walk straight over and give it to Mu Cheng.
Liu Zhihua's eyes were red and her voice was a little hoarse as she said: "Mu Cheng, aunt has never known how hard your mother's life has been. Keep the money and let your mother rest in peace and recuperate. It should be enough for you to use for a while."
Liu Zhihua has always valued money more than life, but she did not hesitate on this matter.
Xiuhua was her only relative after Ah Nai left. When Ah Nai was still here, she often said that the two sisters should move around more in the future. Even though Xiuhua had not been in contact for so many years, she still had feelings for this sister.
Moreover, Xiuhua's experience is really pitiful. She must have suffered a lot before she fell ill after being sold to a dealer. If she didn't have a bowel movement at this time, but she had money and didn't help, she would have no shame to see her after she died.
Milk.
The two silver nuggets in Mu Cheng's hand were at least four taels. He looked at his aunt in excitement and disbelief and asked, "Auntie, this, this is?"
Liu Zhihua sighed and patted his thin shoulder, and told the truth: "This is what her aunt gave to Jiaojiao and the others yesterday. I didn't know your mother's situation just now. I just keep these at home. You can use them. No need."
If you are in a hurry, go back and tell your mother that your aunt will go see her tomorrow when she has settled down."
Mu Cheng burst into tears immediately and choked with sobs. He squeezed the silver nugget hard and knelt down on the ground, banging his head twice.
"Good boy, get up quickly." Liu Zhihua hurriedly pulled him up, tears running out again. Parents are like this, so it's not easy to pity this child.
Mu Cheng wiped his tears with his sleeve and said very seriously: "Auntie, your kindness will never be forgotten by Mu Cheng in this life. When I grow up and have the ability to repay you, I will definitely do my best to repay you."
"Okay, auntie believes in you." Liu Zhihua patted his back comfortingly, feeling in her heart that he is a child with backbone.
Mu Cheng was left to eat lunch. Mu Cheng was afraid that his face would scare his younger siblings, so he ate cautiously while covering his face with his hands.
Seeing this, Jiaojiao tilted her head and thought for a while.
Suddenly he put down his chopsticks and ran to the kitchen to get a bowl of stream water from the space. Then he walked in with small steps and brought it to Mu Cheng. He said in a waxy voice: "Brother, drink water quickly."
Mu Cheng was flattered and hurriedly stood up to take it and said, "Thank you Jiaojiao." Then he smiled and picked it up to drink. The sweet taste in his mouth seemed like an illusion, and he drank it all in one breath.
Liu Zhihua touched her daughter's little hand and felt that her sweet baby had grown up and was now well-behaved and kind-hearted.
After lunch, Mu Cheng was worried that his parents would have to rush back.
Before leaving, Liu Zhihua went to Qiu Sheng's house to find a set of clean clothes, took some eggs, put them in a cloth bag, and took Mu Cheng out of the village.
……
After seeing off Mu Cheng, Xiao Li fell asleep again after lunch, still unable to wake up like the previous few days.
Liu Zhihua hugged Jiaojiao and went to find Dr. Li, then took him home to show Xiaoli.
After feeling for his pulse, Doctor Li pinched his cheek and looked at his tongue, frowning. He quickly took out a pack of silver needles, took the thinnest one and pricked Xiaoli's fingertip, and squeezed out a drop of blood.<
/p>
The blood was dark and the tip of the silver needle was slightly black. Doctor Li's complexion changed slightly, which was obviously a symptom of poison in the body.
Liu Zhihua also saw something was wrong and asked worriedly: "Doctor Li, what's wrong with my little Li?"
Jiaojiao also came over worriedly, took the little brother's hand, and called him several times but no one woke up.
"Xiao Li must have eaten something poisonous by mistake, so he has had symptoms of drowsiness in the past few days. The only symptom is that there are not many toxins in the body. I will prescribe some herbal medicine and drink it first to clear out the toxins." Li
The doctor put away the silver needle and said.
Liu Zhihua was frightened and almost died of fright when she heard about the poisoning. However, she was relieved after hearing what happened next and hurriedly responded: "Okay, then listen to Dr. Li."
"Zhihua, when everyone wakes up, you and Xiaoli will ask about what they have eaten recently. Don't dare to eat again after the poison is detoxified." Doctor Li ordered again.
Liu Zhihua nodded quickly and agreed: "Okay, when the little bastard wakes up, I will interrogate him carefully."
"Xiao Li is not sensible. Ask questions without being rude. I will write you a prescription." Dr. Li persuaded with a smile.
Then he took out his pen and ink, rolled up his sleeves and started writing the prescription, "Take dandelion, Baicao, purslane, forsythia, Daqingye..."
Dr. Li has a habit of always reading and checking the prescriptions once he writes them.
