Li Hui speculated that her original owner should also be named Cheng Xue, but there are too many people with the surname "Cheng" in Liang Yan. From a wealthy family... how to count as a wealthy family?
"Hey, what are you thinking about?"
"It's nothing." Li Hui shook his head, "I knew when you were asking for dowry, but I couldn't stop you. Moreover, my memory was confused at that time and I didn't know that there was such a thing, so..."
"Oh, I just said casually, why are you so serious? Besides, you gave me the key. I can spend the money however I want. Don't do this, I am under pressure."
Li Hui didn't notice that she was stressed at all, so he chuckled and shook his head.
"You can spend this money however you want, but one thing is to take good care of your body first."
"Don't worry, I cherish my life the most. I have to live a modern life span." Cheng Xue said and laughed, "Hey, what do you think of us buying a house in the county? Although we can't move in, you can't live there.
You can stay for a few days during the exam, it’s better than staying in an inn.”
Li Hui thought it was feasible and nodded in agreement.
"Then let's go to Luoxue and let the doctor from the county give you a good check. I'll put your name on the house when I buy it, which will give you reassurance. Don't worry, it's not something I, Li Hui, can do to get promoted and make a fortune.
Yes, I am a soldier!"
After saying this, he turned around to close the camphor wood box, lock it, and then put the bedding back on.
Cheng Xue was so ashamed at this moment that she wished she could find a crack in the ground and crawl in.
"Um...I'm sorry. It's because I'm narrow-minded, and the heart of a villain is like the heart of a gentleman. I was wrong, brother."
"Who are you calling brother?!" Li Hui was shocked.
"Then call me brother, can you call me brother? I was wrong, brother." Cheng Xue was able to bend and stretch, and sincerely apologized again.
Li Hui was so troubled by her that he couldn't laugh or cry. In the end, he could only pull her sleeves, blow out the candles, and go back to the room to rest...
……
The next day, Cheng Xue stood at the last nurse's post and finally "retired honorably".
Li Yue had already handed over the medicine. Looking at the sour-smelling liquid in the bowl, Cheng Xue pinched her nose and drank it all.
It tasted very bad, but she endured it in order to survive.
Looking at the pumpkin candy in the child's hand, Cheng Xue really felt that it was because she had accumulated virtue as a doctor that she traveled to this place.
There are no parents-in-law, no sisters-in-law, and the four children are sensible and obedient, and are at the top of the food chain.
He stuffed the candy into Li Yue's mouth and said with a smile:
"Mom is an adult, what use is this! Tiedan went out to find your father?"
The baby names of the two boys have not been changed, so they are stronger for peace of mind.
"Tiedan said he was going to bundle firewood in the fields, so he probably didn't go to my father. Mom, are the eggs still boiled for the steamed buns to eat in the morning? Should we eat them with my father, or should we eat them later?"
"Let's eat together. From now on, our family will also have three meals, just like the forest farm. From now on, no matter what we eat in the morning, the eggs will be boiled. Don't let a small thing make a big mistake. Mom is a living example. A medicine is so expensive, so just take it for a day.
I feel really bad.”
"It's okay, as long as my mother can recover." After Li Yue finished speaking, she went out to cook.
Cheng Xue found all the mattresses at home and prepared several to put together to make them thicker.
The original owner didn't deal with anything except her husband's reading supplies.
What you eat is what you eat, what you wear is what you wear, and what you use is what you use.
The mattress is thin, and the kang is already hard. In addition, the person is thin, and sleeping all night feels like being tortured, which is very uncomfortable.
While doing this, there was a sound of opening the door in the courtyard, and Li Hui was back.
"Where did dad get the car? Where's Tiedan?"
"There are firewood bundled in the field. I borrowed it from the Li Zheng family."
When Cheng Xue came out, she saw Li Hui's face was pale. While Li Yue was carrying firewood to the warehouse, she hurried over and whispered:
"Take it easy, don't tire yourself out, and bite off more than you can chew."
"Well, I have an idea."
There were six bundles pushed in total, and nine-year-old Li Yue moved twice without blushing or breathing, but he...
Anyway, he is not more embarrassed now, only the most embarrassed.
"Dad, please come in and rest for a while. You are not needed for the firewood in the field. After dinner, I will collect it with Tiedan. There is not much left."
How could Li Hui, who was deeply shocked, be obedient and go back to his house to rest, then pushed the empty cart away with no expression on his face?
Li Yue wanted to chase him back, but was stopped by Cheng Xue.
"...Mother?"
"Let your father go. You can't scold him in vain. He also wants to do something for this family."
As he finished speaking, a shrill voice came from the next door——
"Who's breast-feeding, Tiedan Niang? It can't be your mother-in-law, right?" Xu Daguo's daughter-in-law, Geng, stood by the courtyard wall and asked.
People in the north of Liangyan especially believe in dancing with great gods, inviting immortals, and asking for dreams, etc. This is also a hot topic discussed in the village after dinner.
Cheng Xue had discovered her a long time ago, so she just said that on purpose.
She is a famous loudspeaker in the village. By spreading the word through her mouth, you can get twice the result with half the effort.
"Ah, it's Aunt Xu. Why are you up so early? Tangtang, go inside and cook. We'll eat when your father comes back."
Mr. Geng was already shocked when he heard "Tangtang". When he saw Li Yue entering the room, he immediately felt that he had come to work. He said "Don't move" and pushed the door open the next second.
"What's going on, Tiedan Niang? Why did you call me Tangtang? You just said that you were asking for a dream. Was it your mother-in-law who asked Huizi to be beaten yesterday?"
Oh, this old woman is quite clever!
Cheng Xue deliberately hesitated, and Geng became more determined.
"Look, we are not outsiders. We live so close, and you still hide it from me? Tell me, what is going on?"
Although the two families are close to each other, they rarely move around on weekdays. She just obeyed Geng's familiar attitude, which most people really can't do.
"Let me tell you, yesterday my daughter came back and talked about your Huizi. If it hadn't been for the lack of movement at your house recently, I would have thought that someone had 'seized' him. Tell your aunt the truth, what's the matter?
What’s wrong?”
I guessed that Mrs. Xu would tell her mother when she got home yesterday, and sure enough!
"Since Auntie has guessed it, I won't hide it from you. Huizi did dream of my mother-in-law when he was hit yesterday. The old lady scolded him so hard that he finally woke up. She named the children yesterday.
, did not follow the genealogy..."
Cheng Xue told the story in a more embellished way. Geng finally stopped after hearing what she wanted to know.
"It's just that Huizi can't figure it out on his own. Why does my daughter still say 'students are smart'? How can you be bullied like this by your tribe if you are so smart? It has to be your mother-in-law, that old guy is awesome.
If you don’t follow the family tree, Huizi didn’t leave either. If your mother-in-law hadn’t insisted on not following the family name, Huizi would have been able to stand. Six of them are all gone. I still remember the way your mother-in-law cried." Oh, there’s still this thing!
Cheng Xue doesn't remember it at all. I wonder if Li Hui has it.
"Okay, I'll go home and cook, and you can do the same."
"Auntie, please sit down for a while!"
"No, let's go."
Cheng Xue sent her out, but before closing the courtyard door, she heard something coming from the next door——
"Old man, the Li Yuan family gave Hui Zi a dream yesterday, and I said what my daughter said was wrong..."
Alas, you really don’t waste a moment. Once you know it, you must spread it.
Cheng Xue smiled as she closed the courtyard door and looked at the five main rooms in the house, wondering how to use them...
