It has been more than two months since Li Youzhi was injured. If he were to recover again, it would take another two months to recover. So, this year's spring would be impossible to catch up with.
After the doctor left, there was an unspeakable atmosphere in the room.
Quiet.
After a long while, Li's mother wiped her face and said, "Youzhi, don't think too much, it's important to take good care of yourself."
Li Youzhi leaned on the pillow with a dejected look on his face, "Mom, don't worry. I know the severity. Only when the injury is healed can I have a future. If I can't catch up next year, then I have to wait another three years. In these three years, I will
Concentrate on reading and strive to succeed in one fell swoop."
Li's mother looked pleased after hearing this, "You are right to think so!"
Li Youzhi turned his head and looked at the people in the photo studio, "I just want to know why the yard was so slippery tonight?"
When the doctor came in just now, he found some hay to lay on, otherwise he would have to wrestle.
Ruan Xiaolian was closest to him and hesitated, "My wife washed the quilt during the day. It seems that the water used to wash the quilt was poured in the yard. It's so cold... maybe it's frozen and it's slippery."
It’s only slippery when it’s frozen!
The expressions of the Li family's mother and son instantly turned ugly. Li's mother scolded, "Shuanglan, how do you explain?"
Chu Yunli shook his head, "I did wash the quilt, and I did pour the water into the yard."
No explanation!
Li's mother was so angry that she shouted loudly, "You are so diligent! Why didn't you wash the quilt before and why did you choose today? You just deliberately harmed my son, you broomstick and a harm to others..."
Chu Yunli interrupted her, "New Year's Day is the day after tomorrow, and I want to sleep on a clean bed! Then I asked Xiaolian to wash it for me, but she didn't want to."
During this time, Chu Yunli was doing embroidery. Li's mother always believed that no matter how tough her daughter-in-law was, the money she earned would be used for expenses sooner or later, so she would not delay her embroidery unless necessary. All the work at home was
Ruan Xiaolian made the big half, and Li Bai made the remaining half.
During the Chinese New Year, many people have to buy new clothes. It is normal to clean the house and outside and wash the quilts. Li's mother immediately turned her anger on Ruan Xiaolian, and said angrily, "Isn't it just washing the quilts? I'm too lazy to forget it! You are the one
You are such a harmful person, so many things have happened to our family since I got to know you, you broomstick!"
Ruan Xiaolian lowered her head and trembled slightly. Li Youzhi beside her was impatient in pain, "Stop crying!"
Li's mother was about to scold again, but Chu Yunli said calmly, "Mother-in-law, Xiaolian didn't mean not to wash her. She said she might be pregnant and couldn't touch cold water, so I couldn't force her."
"Pregnant?" Li's mother looked at Ruan Xiaolian's belly, half-convinced, and saw the tired look on her son's face, and said, "Go back to bed in the middle of the night."
The next morning, Chu Yunli had just gotten up when she saw Li Bai and the doctor coming in.
When I went out, I saw Li's mother asking the doctor to take Ruan Xiaolian's pulse, "Doctor, please take a closer look."
Probably because she was scared after being deceived by Chu Yunli last time, Li's mother immediately called a doctor to check her pulse.
Ruan Xiaolian was a little nervous and stretched out her hand.
The doctor felt the pulse and said for a long time, "I didn't find the happy pulse. Maybe it was because the day was too shallow."
He asked about menstruation in a low voice, and Ruan Xiaolian replied with a flushed face, "It should have been the day before yesterday..."
The doctor touched his beard and said, "It may be that the weather is too light, or it may be that the cold in winter affects menstruation. However, Li Juren has an injury on his body. He cannot move too much. It will not help the injury."
Ruan Xiaolian's face turned even redder after her words. Even Li's mother felt her face was burning and hurriedly sent the doctor away.
Because Li Youzhi fell again, the Mei couple also came to see him. They heard that his daughter poured water into the yard and caused him to fall. They scolded Chu Yunli in front of Li's mother.
Chu Yunli listened silently, and when she finally sent them out, Mei's mother walked behind, holding her daughter's hand and stroking it, "The Li family is really unlucky this year, and this happened just two days before the New Year. It's God's will, and so will you.
Don't blame yourself. I helped him collect ten taels of silver earlier, but it seems I won't be able to use it now."
The Mei family is a very ordinary family, and the couple's thoughts are also ordinary. Even if they find out that their daughter is angry with the Li family, they don't think that life will be unbearable. They just think that it is an quarrel that will get better as time goes by.
Chu Yunli didn't explain much to them. When she heard about collecting money, she immediately said, "You should take care of yourselves. If the mother and son don't have money, they will always find a way. But if the Mei family is short of money, the mother and son...
..." She shook her head, "Don't expect them to help either."
After seeing off the Mei couple, Ruan arrived again in the afternoon. Her purpose of coming was very simple, "Since you can't use this money, you'd better return it to me first, and I'll send it back to you when you start your journey again."
It would be particularly distressing to take out the money in your pocket. Naturally, Li's mother was unwilling to do so, reasoning that Ruan Xiaolian was pregnant and had to spend the money to buy things to replenish her health.
Ruan is a very good person, and she is just an ordinary merchant, so she will not quarrel with the Li family. After arguing for a long time, both parties took a step back, and Ruan Xiaolian took the money for herself.
The atmosphere at home is gloomy, and there is no joy at all in this new year.
After the Chinese New Year, Chu Yunli went out for two days. She had already found a caravan to buy medicinal materials and a doctor. On the tenth day of the first lunar month, her medical clinic opened.
Because she was willing to spend money to buy real medicinal materials, and she personally supervised the doctors, business was good once the medical clinic opened.
When Li's mother asked, Chu Yunli deduced that the embroidery shop wanted to embroider an embroidery made of particularly good materials, and the shopkeeper wanted to see it in person, so she had to go early and come back late.
In fact, she was dispensing medicine in the yard behind the medical center, and it took her a few days to recover.
Li Youzhi always sat at the window and looked outside these days. That day Chu Yunli came back from outside. When the family was having dinner in the evening, he suddenly said, "If you let the carriage take me to the ship, I will wait until I arrive in the capital."
, maybe my foot injury has healed."
Not to mention, if he wasn't afraid of pain, this would really be a solution.
Li's mother's eyes lit up and she was a little worried, "What if your injury gets worse?"
Li Youzhi looked at Li Bai and said, "I'll take Li Bai with me and give him enough medicine. He should be fine."
Seeing the silence of everyone in the room, he sighed, "There are only a few three years in a person's life, but I still don't want to miss this time. Mom, I will be careful."
Li's mother hesitated, "But the cost..." She looked at Chu Yunli, waiting for her to answer.
Chu Yunli shook his head, "You can't go this time! If you are lame, then wouldn't all my years of hard work be in vain?"
Li Youzhi's face turned dark, "You can't hope that I will be well, can you?"
Chu Yunli said seriously, "I am your wife. If you pass the exam, my face will be proud of it. But if your leg really can't be cured, who will pay for my more than ten years of hard work?"
In fact, the Li family's mother and son did not suspect that she poured water into the yard on purpose, and it was also because of this. After a pause, she continued, "I said earlier that you are sorry for me, so I will never help you with your troubles. Now you have
It’s even more impossible for me to let you go if you’re injured!”
Li's mother sighed, "Son, the road is bumpy. This time, listen to your wife. Let's wait three years. If something happens to you, wouldn't it tear out my heart? I can't bear it just thinking about it."
If Li's mother didn't agree, there would be no one to help pack the luggage and prepare for the expenses. No matter how many ideas Li Youzhi had, it would be useless.
During the Lantern Festival, there was a lantern festival in Luocheng. Of course, the Li family didn't go. It was getting late. Chu Yunli was taking a bath in the water room. Hearing someone coming from the hut next door, he didn't think much about it. It didn't take long.
But a low exclamation was heard.
She moved for a moment and heard Ruan Xiaolian's voice.
When she got dressed and came out, she saw Ruan Xiaolian standing under the eaves with a pale face, a little stunned.
"What's going on here?"
Ruan Xiaolian came back to her senses, stretched out her hand to touch her stomach, "Nothing." She turned around and entered the kitchen.
The next morning, when Chu Yunli went to the medical clinic, the shopkeeper came up to him and said in a low voice, "In the morning, Li Juren's concubine came and asked our doctor to help tell her that she was pregnant..."
Chu Yunli paused, with a face full of surprise, "Threat? Is she so brave?"
The shopkeeper shook his head, "Although she didn't say it explicitly, she meant that if she didn't help, our store would not be able to continue its business. I asked the doctor to agree, and she even bought a pair of anti-fetal pills and left."
This medical clinic has just been open for a few days, so no one can really cause trouble.
Chu Yunli was not surprised at all that Ruan Xiaolian did these things. She was usually a bit stupid and well-behaved. But Mrs. Ruan in Mei Shuanglan's memory was not like this. She was arrogant and looked at people with contempt.
This kind of person is very smart and knows what is best for himself.
Chu Yunli went to prepare the medicine for the day as usual, and returned soon after dark. As soon as she entered the yard, she smelled the strong smell of medicine. Li's mother was setting the meal, walking in and out very happily. Seeing her entering the door,
He smiled and said, "I'm back, it's time to eat."
Chu Yunli smelled the smell of anti-fetal medicine and pretended not to know, "Mother-in-law, is there anything good you can do?"
Li's mother smiled and said, "I'll tell you something good later during dinner."
Chu Yunli smiled and said, "Isn't your husband well? Why are you still taking medicine and falling again?"
Hearing this, Li's mother smiled and scolded, "You didn't fall, what are you talking about?"
Of course she knew she didn't fall, Chu Yunli just deliberately caused trouble for her.
During the meal, there was a pot of chicken soup on the table. Li's mother served a bowl to Li Youzhi and another bowl to Ruan Xiaolian, and said with a smile, "Drink more, it will be good for your health."
Li Youzhi was confused at first, and then remembered that the reason why he could not set off was because Ruan Xiaolian did not wash the quilt and asked his wife, who did not often work, to pour water in the yard. He suddenly realized, "Are you pregnant?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the corners of his mouth curled up.
Seeing this, Li's mother was quite pleased. He had not smiled since he fell down again.
Ruan Xiaolian lowered her head, reached for the soup bowl, and said in a low voice, "Thank you, mother-in-law."
This person who is not pregnant is pretending to be pregnant... The purpose is very simple, it must be to cause trouble.
Chu Yunli didn't take it seriously. During the meal, mother and son secretly looked at her face several times. Seeing that her face looked normal, they felt slightly reassured.
Speaking with conscience, Mei Shuanglan has indeed devoted a lot to the Li family. Now that she has no children, her concubine's child will be the one to bear her. It would probably be uncomfortable for anyone else.
So, after dinner, when Chu Yunli went back to her room to sort out her embroidery thread, Li's mother came in and said, "Shuanglan, I have something to say to you."
Chu Yunli smiled, "What a coincidence, I also have something to say to you. You say it first!"
Li's mother was not polite and came closer, "Shuanglan, it's been four years since you came here, and there's still no good news. I know it's not your fault, and I've never pressed you."
Chu Yunli sneered in her heart, the young couple slept separately, would the Li family recognize the child?
Li's mother could not understand her thoughts and continued, "This child is a gift from God. Now that it is here, we can't extrapolate it, right? I promise you, no matter whether Xiaolian's child is a boy or a girl,
From now on, no one can get past your child!"
"Mother-in-law," Chu Yunli raised her head, "do you really think so?"
Li's mother raised her hand, "I can swear to God."
Chu Yunli looked out the window, "When I came back from Xiulou today, I heard something. I think I should tell you."
Seeing her seriousness, Li's mother couldn't help but become solemn, "What's the matter?"
Chu Yunli put down the embroidery thread and said seriously, "The nephew of the shopkeeper of Xiulou is the medicine boy at Rongchun Medical Clinic outside our alley. Today the shopkeeper of Xiulou is telling the clerk about our family's jokes."
Li's mother raised her eyebrows and said angrily, "Who dares to gossip about our family?"
Chu Yunli sighed, "It's not my fault. They said that Li Juren's concubine actually threatened the doctor at Rongchun Medical Center to admit that she was pregnant and even helped him prescribe anti-fetal medicine! The clerks whispered,
It is said that Li Juren is not good enough, so he is trying to give birth to a child..."
