Mrs. Liu's head was opened and bleeding started, and she lay in bed for five days. Zhuang Sisi and her second sister-in-law He Hua temporarily took over the kitchen, and under the guise of replenishing their mother's body, they ate meat three times in five days. The dishes made everyone in the Liu family very satisfied, except of course Ripples.
She is still a baby who relies on milk, and because of her grandmother’s disapproval, she only has the nickname Daya, which is the most commonly used nickname among rural girls.
However, Lianyi never wronged herself. She would occasionally add a drop of diluted spiritual spring water to herself to warm up her body. By the way, she would also take care of Zhuang Sisi's body, and she would look like an old scalper. Father.
When Mrs. Liu could get up, she found that there was less bacon in the kitchen. She felt like she was cutting her own flesh, and she immediately jumped up and started swearing in the yard.
Except for Old Man Liu, everyone else, including the infant Ripple, was scolded by her. Then she became miserable again and performed another flat fall in front of everyone who came back from the field.
Moreover, when he fell, he also took down the logs that were standing by the wall to dry. These logs were cut back from the mountain by Old Man Liu and his three sons, and they were going to be dried and used to build a house. They had not yet been received in the backyard. As a result, Then one of Mrs. Liu's legs was broken.
Because it was the time for everyone to go home for dinner, the neighbors of the Liu family curiously poked their heads out when they heard the noise. When they saw Mrs. Liu being crushed by a pile of wood, they exclaimed and were startled. The stunned Liu family woke up.
Another turmoil ensued. Looking at Mrs. Liu who fainted from the pain and the blood on the ground, the Liu family moved the wood and did not dare to lift it. Finally, a member of the village came to Puji Hall in the town. The boy who was the medicine boy ran over and took a look, and then said to the Liu family:
"Uncle Liu, I'm afraid Auntie's leg is broken. It can't be bumpy, otherwise it will be difficult to set the bone. You guys carry her back first." In the house, I have some herbs to stop bleeding. Apply them first, and then you go to the town and ask for a doctor who is good at orthopedics. Our Doctor Wang from Puji Hall is good at bone setting."
"Shunzi, uncle. I won’t be polite to you anymore. Please come over and I’ll get you some medical money.”
Old Man Liu thought it would be better to invite an acquaintance over, so he immediately made a decision.
"Okay, I'll go home and get the styptic grass first, uncle, prepare the money."
Shunzi was also warm-hearted and agreed immediately.
At this time, Mrs. Liu who fainted had been carried back to her house by her three sons. Old Man Liu took out a key from the secret pocket inside his wife's belt.
Then he opened the lock on the kang cabinet, took out half a tael of silver, and locked the cabinet again. When Shunzi came, he gave half a tael of silver to Shunzi in front of everyone, please. He went to ask the doctor.
After struggling until sunset, Mrs. Liu's leg was connected and splinted by Dr. Wang. During this period, Mrs. Liu woke up twice from the pain and fainted again because Old Man Liu was reluctant to use anesthetics and his family didn't have much money. I can make my old lady endure it for a while.
Old man Liu was somewhat complaining about his old wife. He had long said that she should not scold others all the time, which would have taken away all her luck. Now that she has cursed someone, she even broke her leg. This is another time to ask a doctor. When buying medicine and asking for favors, a tael of silver is gone. The family can save a few taels a year.
After Zhuang Sisi fed Ripple, she and Hehua went to the kitchen to cook for the whole family. The two looked at each other and saw gloating in each other's eyes. Although they could not show it openly, in their hearts Happy. Her mother-in-law broke her leg. As the saying goes, it takes a hundred days to break the bones. Her mother-in-law could not help them for at least half a year, so at night Zhuang Sisi fried Chinese cabbage with lard residue, cooked sticky rice porridge, and cooked The pancakes filled with cornmeal kept the whole family full.
Of course, in order to show her care for her mother-in-law, she and Hehua discussed it and made pimple soup with white flour at home and put meat oil in it. After it was cooked, it was eaten by the two daughters-in-law. When he brought it to his mother-in-law's bed, Old Man Liu was very satisfied with it and felt that both his daughters-in-law were filial.
Half of the white noodle soup went into Zhuang Sisi and Hehua's mouths, and the rest went into Mrs. Liu's belly, but she didn't know it.
Zhuang Sisi ate confidently. She wanted to breastfeed her baby. If she didn't eat well, she would have no milk. As for Lotus, she wanted to conceive the baby as soon as possible and eat more to replenish her body. Anyway, while Mrs. Liu was resting in bed, the two of them served her. He was very considerate and attentive, and I even looked a lot better as a result.
Raised with white flour, eggs and meat, Lotus also became pregnant when Mrs. Liu was able to walk on crutches.
Lianyi still ate and slept, took good care of herself after sleeping, and watched Mrs. Liu making a monster by the way. As soon as she was ready to make a demon, Ripple would push Mrs. Liu down. She either had a headache or something. His back hurt, his feet twisted, and his teeth swelled. In short, in the end, Old Man Liu became impatient.
Finally, Mrs. Liu scolded her eldest daughter-in-law again and said angrily:
"You damn old woman, can you calm down a little? See for yourself how many disasters you have caused yourself in this year because of your unrestrained talk!
It feels better to go to bed by yourself, Hua Why don't you count the money? You still have someone to take care of you at home. Not only will it delay your work, but you will also be laughed at by the neighbors.
Dahu hasn't gotten married yet and can't even raise the money for the betrothal gift. Are you going to do it? Is your younger son going to be a bachelor for the rest of his life? Or are you going to let Pingping stay at home and be an old girl? She is already fifteen years old!” Coins, and then found out that it was indeed as her husband said. This year she spent five or six taels of money just for medical treatment and medicine. She would be lying if she said she didn't feel distressed. The money was indeed enough for the family to hire a wife for their youngest son. .
Mr. Liu finally stopped and began to work with her mouth shut. Ripple felt that her ears had become much clearer, and she suddenly felt a little bored.
Mrs. Liu stopped, and Liu Pingping started jumping up and down again. The reason was that she fell in love with a boy from the next village and wanted to marry him. However, the boy's parents were not stupid either. They wanted to find a richer marriage for their son who could study. , so that he can continue to support his son’s studies and scientific examinations.
Liu Pingping began to pester Mrs. Liu when she came back, hoping that Mrs. Liu would use a high dowry to let her marry into Tong Sheng's family. Unfortunately, her family knew about their own affairs, and it was impossible for them to take a fancy to a loser like them, so Mrs. Liu naturally I don’t agree.
However, Liu Pingping talked about many benefits of marrying into Tong Sheng's family. The most important thing was that she could support her mother's family, and finally persuaded Mrs. Liu. However, it was a fact that she had no money, so the two of them set their sights on Yu Xue's lovely girl. ripple.
The two men were so purposeful that they started discussing where to sell Ripple in front of a one-year-old baby. It was really intolerable.
Lianyi was too lazy to pay attention to these two inhuman relatives and decided to solve the problem directly from the root. This opportunity came to her the next day. (End of chapter)
