After seeing off the two old guys and Li Zheng, Chu Nanzhi returned to the kitchen, put away the dishes, and cleaned the room.
Today's meal made all the meat and vegetables she bought empty.
Looks like I have to buy some more tomorrow.
She remembered that Lin Jinxiao also raised some chickens and ducks in the yard before, but they were all sold or killed by the original owner.
Now not even a hair is left.
After Lin Jinxiao lost his job at the county government, he planned to plant some rice, fruits and vegetables last year, but the original owner pulled all the seedlings while they were still there.
The original owner thought that it was fine for him to be a scholar and not seek advancement, so he resigned himself to farming, so he volunteered to use the land that Liu Yun had given as a dowry to her husband-in-law Liu Shuyang to pay off his gambling debt.
Anyway, whatever Lin Jinxiao did, the original owner would destroy it. In the end, Lin Jinxiao became desperate and stopped trying anything.
Looking at the empty courtyard, Chu Nanzhi herself felt desperate.
This is really a waste of money and waiting to die.
If it weren't for Liu Yun's help, this family might have starved to death long ago.
But in the future, she will never let Liu Yun worry about this family again.
Right now, the first thing she has to do is to quickly recover from Lin Jinxiao's leg injury.
Thinking of this, she took out all the medicine she bought.
Being sick these days is no different from her time, just watching the money in your hands keep flowing out.
She bought a bunch of food for less than a hundred cents, but this pile of medicine cost her more than five taels of silver, which was ridiculously expensive.
She found a jar for decoction, poured the medicine for treating internal injuries into the jar, mixed some water, added enough firewood, and fried the medicine first.
Walking back to the living room, the four little guys had gone outside to play in the yard, while Lin Jinxiao went to the back room to rest.
After struggling for most of the day, she felt a little sleepy.
I lay down on the table and took a nap, and soon I was woken up by the strong smell of medicine.
She ran into the kitchen and quickly put out the fire, took a bowl and poured a bowl of medicinal soup into it. She waited until it cooled down a little before preparing to give it to Lin Jinxiao.
As soon as she walked out of the kitchen, she saw Lin Jinxiao leaning on a cane and staring at her: "What do you want to do?"
Chu Nanzhi saw that his face looked a little bad, thinking that he was sulking because he was embarrassed in front of his teacher today, so he put on a friendly and gentle attitude to please:
"I took some new medicine for you today and just prepared it. Drink it while it's hot."
As he spoke, he walked up to him with a medicine bowl and said with a smile: "Come on, Dalang, drink the medicine."
After all, Heli will have to get his permission in the future.
She couldn't let this guy become resentful again.
Unexpectedly, Lin Jinxiao's beautiful face immediately darkened, and his thick velvet eyebrows immediately knitted together:
"What are you going to do? I...I won't drink."
It was the first time in more than five years of marriage that I saw her being so attentive.
Li Ce had boiled the medicine for him a few days ago. After the woman came back with some money, she rushed him to the back room and never asked him about it.
The decoction has been stopped for two days, and she has been pretending not to see it. How could she be so kind today?
The children are not around at the moment either.
He was a little scared and clumsily stepped back with his cane.
"What's the matter with you? I asked you to drink medicine. Why are you hiding? It will be cold soon."
Chu Nanzhi was puzzled and approached him with medicine in hand.
"Go away and don't come near me."
Lin Jinxiao was so frightened that his face turned livid.
No wonder she has been acting so abnormally these past few days. She is probably just waiting for an opportunity like today.
This evil woman must have felt that she had not listened to her in the past, and she held a grudge, and was even desperate for life, so she first killed Taoist Ximen, and now she wanted to kill herself with her own hands.
When he was on duty at the county government, he heard about an evil woman who hated her husband, so he pretended to please her husband, dispelled her husband's guard, and finally drugged her husband to death, and then committed suicide and died with her husband.
He must not let this evil woman succeed in her evil plan.
At this time, the four little guys also returned to the house after playing tired. Seeing the situation in the house, they were so frightened that they immediately ran to Lin Jinxiao and yelled at Chu Nanzhi together:
"You are not allowed to harm my father."
Si Bao was so frightened that he burst into tears: "Oh, oh, oh, oh, I want my father, please don't hurt my father."
Chu Nanzhi suddenly realized: It turned out that the family was worried that they had poisoned the medicine.
She was so angry that she almost vomited blood:
I am really more unjust than Dou E.
She took a big sip angrily and said loudly: "It's not poisoned."
Then he hurriedly put the bowl on the wooden table in the living room and went straight back to his hut.
Outside the door, Dabao Lin Ruiwen picked up the bowl of medicine again and handed it to Lin Jinxiao: "Dad, the bad woman drank it herself. It must not have been poisoned. Drink it quickly."
Si Bao wiped away tears and pouted: "Dad, did we wrong her?"
Lin Jinxiao drank the medicine slowly, with a look of disbelief on his face:
What does she want to do?
In the house, Chu Nanzhi was lying on the bed, feeling sulky. She felt that the whole family had delusions of persecution.
But thinking about the matter of reconciliation, she gritted her teeth and had to endure it.
She believes that the comfortable days when "the sea is wide enough for fish to leap, the sky high enough for birds to fly", and flowers bloom all the way will soon come.
After resting in bed for an hour, she wasn't too hungry, but thinking that it was the time when her little ones were growing, she still got up and went to the kitchen to heat up the chicken soup for lunch and bring it to the dining room table in the living room.
Then, he took the bowls and chopsticks and prepared to call Lin Jinxiao and the four little guys in the back room to eat.
Unexpectedly, Dabaolin Ruiwen came out and saw a pot of chicken soup on the table. He immediately became dissatisfied and said angrily: "I want to eat stir-fried vegetables."
"Fire it yourself."
Seeing how arrogant and unreasonable this little brat was, Chu Nanzhi suddenly got angry, slammed the bowl on the table, and sat aside angrily.
When the little guys saw this, they were so frightened that they immediately started crying.
Dabao was crying and muttering "bad woman".
Lin Jinxiao had a sullen face, but he just stood there without trying to dissuade him.
Chu Nanzhi rubbed his head angrily, glared at him and cursed:
"Lin Dalang, do you think how much I owe your family? Yes, I admit that I have made some mistakes in the past, but is that all my fault? You want to be a breath of fresh air like your two teachers? I don't know.
Opinions, but I’m just a woman, and I want to live a better life. Is it wrong?”
But as soon as the words came out of her mouth, she felt that they were not what she wanted to say.
It seems that the original owner's resentment is really serious.
And when she said this, Lin Jinxiao also felt wronged.
Indeed, in the past, he only cared about his own thoughts and did not consider her feelings.
It's just that the way she vented her anger was too inappropriate.
This is also the fundamental reason why their relationship as a couple has reached a dead end.
Chu Nanzhi said again: "I don't care if you let the children treat me like this. I deserve it. Are you going to teach the children to go out and deal with people like this in the future?"
Lin Jinxiao was stunned on the spot when he heard this.
I didn't have time to take care of this before, but now I think about the upbringing of these little guys. Sometimes it is indeed a bit inappropriate.
He pulled Dabao to him and taught him earnestly: "Lin Ruiwen, don't do this again."
Then he glanced at the other little guys and said, "Don't cry anymore. Eat well."
The four little guys wiped away their tears. You looked at me, I looked at you, and looked at each other. Finally, they stopped sobbing, and obediently picked up the bowls and chopsticks to drink the chicken soup.
After waiting for the meal, Chu Nanzhi thought about the injury on Si Bao's arm, so she took some medicine to apply the wound. Si Bao was no longer so resistant to her. When she heard that she was going to apply medicine on herself, she obeyed.
The bad woman smeared the medicine on her arm.
Dabao and Erbao were jealous when they saw that the bad woman only applied medicine to the fourth treasure, but they did not dare to say it in front of the bad woman. They waited for the bad woman to return to the house, then secretly took the medicine and ran to the back room to ask Lin Jinxiao to give it to them.
