Embroidered soft-soled shoes gently stepped out of the threshold of the middle courtyard, and the sound of drums on the street in the distance came again, it was already five watches, Lancao couldn't help yawning, and followed the little grandmother to toss for most of the night, and now you can finally go back to rest, and it will be dawn if you delay any longer.

But the dumb aunt went out of the middle courtyard, turned the bluestone road, and did not stop at the gate of the corner courtyard, but walked straight to the back, and when she bypassed the firewood courtyard, only the mill was left if she went forward.

"Little grandma," Lan Cao was a little puzzled, "there is only a mill left in front of us, do you still have to ......?"

The dumb aunt nodded, but did not answer.

Entered the mill, went straight to Qiao's mother's room, pushed open the thin small wooden door, the light was still on in the room, a woman guarded Qiao's mother, Qiao's mother was crying, and when she saw someone, she was stunned.

Her she-wolf-like gaze looked up and down the dumb aunt's body, and when she saw that there was no target she was looking for in her arms, she looked over at the bluegrass behind her, and the bluegrass was naturally empty-handed.

Suddenly, Qiao's mother fell to the edge of the kang, and she was so startled that Lancao shouted and rushed over to help her.

In turn, she grabbed Lan Cao's little arm, and grabbed it so hard that Lan Cao grinned in pain.

"Where did you get my baby? Did you give it to the eldest lady for a reward? You, you ...... You guys are so ruthless...... I'm blind and mistaken for a good person...... Woo, my poor boy......"

Lancao broke free from her hand, very angry, "You, you wronged people!"

The dumb aunt pulled behind her, and Lan Cao got out, so she could only retreat and suppress her anger for the time being.

The dumb aunt knelt on the edge of the kang with some heavy steps, stretched out her hand to brush up the unkempt hair for Qiao's mother, her voice was soft and gentle, and she said word by word close to her ear: "Mother Qiao, I have handed over the child to a safe person for you, please believe that she will take care of him and raise him like her own child." According to your ability, you can't ask a doctor for your child, so you can only rely on the strength of others, and when the child gets better, he will naturally send it back to you. ”

"What? You sent my child out to feed the wolves, didn't you? Since they were all sent, why bother to coax me a poor old woman? Aren't you from a poor family like me? That's why I believe you, because you are just like them, and they are just rich and unkind, and how long have you been married? And they will become like them, without mercy! Thou, give me back my child, or I will die before thee!"

As she spoke, she really slammed into the dumb aunt's arms.

Fortunately, she was weak after giving birth, and she didn't wait to touch her dumb aunt's body. As soon as his eyes were closed, he passed out.

Lan Cao saw that she didn't know the hearts of good people, and she was so fierce and timid, she didn't dare to come and see, seeing that she was dizzy, she hurriedly pulled up her dumb aunt's sleeves and asked her to get out and leave quickly.

The dumb aunt broke free of her arm from Lancao's hand, and looked at Lancao with blazing eyes, "Lancao, she is the same as us." She is a poor person at the bottom of society, and it is just a matter of others bullying her, we can't be the same as others. We've got to help her. ”

"Still helping, I haven't closed my eyes all night, and I was scolded by her for being a bad person, little grandma, you ......"

"Let's boil the remaining old ginseng first, feed her some drink, go to the kitchen as soon as the morning dawns, and tell the cook, just say that it is my request, and Qiao's mother will not have to eat the food in the big kitchen during the confinement. Send her a meal every day according to our food standards, that is, the moon mother, the meals are cooked well. ”

Lancao was speechless, and said in her heart how could the little grandmother be so good to Qiao's mother? and don't get involved with relatives and don't have a reason, why is this so painful?

However, she didn't worry about the arrangement of the meal, and readily agreed, and she didn't have to worry about such an order being passed down to the kitchen and not carrying it out, because the eldest lady said it in front of them tonight. No matter what the conditions are, she is willing to satisfy the little grandmother and change a meal for an inferior mother-in-law, there should be no zài problem.

Qiao's mother woke up slowly, she was exhausted, she couldn't get up, she could only lie on the pillow with tears in her eyes, she thought that the child was dead, and the child's death could not be blamed entirely on the person in front of her, and besides, she had tried so hard to save herself, what reason did she have to hate others? The despair in her heart was surging like a tide, retreating, and the hatred in her eyes was not so obvious.

The dumb aunt glanced at the woman who was guarding Qiao's mother as a companion, and saw that she was dressed as shabby as Qiao's mother, her face was yellow, and she looked like she had been doing heavy work for a long time, and she had a health problem, "I will trouble you to take care of Qiao's mother's confinement in the future, you can rest assured, good people will be rewarded, I will have a piece of silk for you when I go back, make a decent dress to wear." ”

Yes?

The woman was stunned.

Then he woke up, his eyes were full of tears, and he wanted to say thank you, but he was clumsy, and he couldn't say it after hesitating for a long time.

The dumb aunt smiled lightly, "Let's give you some more blood-invigorating pills, look at your complexion, you must have been suffering from gynecological diseases from long-term fatigue." ”

After saying that, I didn't linger anymore, and I left without looking back.

The woman behind her froze in place, she couldn't help but reach out and touch her rough face, and quietly touched her body, this little boy daughter-in-law is amazing, only once, how does she know about the hidden disease on her body?

When they returned to the corner courtyard, the two little maids were still asleep, and the blue grass was not a little sleepy, and the dumb aunt watched the blue grass sort out a new cloth, and took a few half-worn clothes, picked up thirty pills from the pills just made yesterday, wrapped them together, and told them to give them to the woman in the mill at dawn.

Lancao looked at the dumb girl's face with her big sparkling eyes, but she didn't say a word.

"Don't you understand in your heart, why do you want to send so many things to someone you don't know?"

The dumb aunt asked suddenly.

This question asked Lan Cao's heart disease, and Lan Cao didn't dare to say anything, just pursed her lips and smiled.

"You," the dumb aunt patted Lancao's shoulder, "It's still too young, and your understanding of the world is still too shallow!"

After speaking, he didn't explain, put on his clothes, and as soon as his head hit the pillow, he let out a deep snoring sound.

Lancao helped her take off her shoes, hugged a pair of footboards into the quilt, touched the tentacles, Lancao was stunned, such a cold pair of feet, the soles of the feet were like ice lumps.

Poured a soup pot on the bluegrass and simmered it on the soles of her feet, and sat for a while while looking at the candle flame.

In my heart, I recalled a series of things tonight from front to back, even if I had calmed down, I still couldn't help but be shocked when I thought about it, it was so dangerous, a ring of things, a chain of things, Qiao's mother had a difficult birth, almost died, the little grandmother forced herself to learn to give birth for the first time, and then a large group of people grabbed the strange child to die before she could rest assured, but the little grandmother saved the child very easily, and what was even more unexpected was that in front of the eldest lady Chen, the little grandmother easily resolved all the contradictions, and finally not only asked the housekeeper and others to retreat obediently, but even the eldest lady personally agreed to meet the requirements of the little grandmother in the future, and the eldest wife offered to adopt the crippled child and pay for his medical treatment...... Why is it that in front of the little grandmother, everything can be safe in the end.

Little grandma, this little person, is really too much to look down upon.

Such a small person, but the small body contains unexpected and surprising wisdom.

She couldn't help but turn her head to see that in the big red thick quilt on the kang, the little grandmother was already asleep, and her snoring was soft and soft. If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, you wouldn't have dared to believe that this inconspicuous little woman had really done so many things.

These things may seem small to others and are not worth mentioning, but when you think about it, it seems that each of them is a very big thing. (To be continued.) )
