Chapter 7: Conspiracy
Ever since Hui'er fell into the water, Shumin has been by her side, feeding her medicine and making her happy. Hui'er was afraid that she was scared after falling into the water, and she relied too much on Shumin, as long as Shumin was out of her sight, she cried and wanted to find her mother. This has never happened before.
Zhengyuan also began to love this child who was ignored by himself, and came to accompany the child as soon as he finished work every day. It's a pity that Hui'er has never been close to him.
The day after Hui'er fell into the water, Qiuhua came to see Hui'er with snacks. Hui'er was already asleep at the time, Shumin received her, and the two chatted in the house for a while. Qiuhua and Shumin entered the room, and Zhang Li and Qiao's pricked up their ears to pay attention to the movements in the west wing, for fear that one accidentally staged another life-and-death battle between the two. But unfortunately, the expected life-and-death battle did not happen, and Shumin and Qiuhua chatted calmly.
It turned out that Chunquan told Qiuhua what he saw at Zhang's house after he went back yesterday, he thought that Shumin had no bad intentions, and it was estimated that he really wanted to leave, he asked Qiuhua to probe again, if Shumin really made up his mind, they could add fuel to the fire. After all, selfishly speaking, if the reconciliation is successful, the younger sister can also marry justifiably. In rural areas, even if you are a flat wife, there is still a big difference between the first door and the last door.
So Qiuhua took advantage of the excuse of visiting the sick and discussed the plan with Shumin
"If I directly persuade Brother Zhengyuan to reconcile with you, he will definitely not agree, and he will think that I am jealous. In the future, I will be separated from me, and I will lose more than I gain" Qiuhua is really a smart woman, and the analysis of the benefits and disadvantages is very good.
"You don't need to mention it, you just have to do what I say, and he will naturally agree when the time comes. These days, Shumin can see very clearly, this cheap husband has affection for him, but for him, the heir is more important, if she can only choose one of the two, she already has the answer in her heart, so it is imperative to leave.
"Okay, then I'll give it a try. Qiuhua looked at Shumin, who was confident, and her eyes were firm.
She is really different from before, although Shumin had a good temperament in the past, she was too cowardly, and from the bottom of her heart, she looked down on her, but today listening to her words, her attitude towards married life, and her planning and strategizing posture, completely made Qiuhua admire from the bottom of her heart. No wonder the eldest brother talked about her yesterday, and his tone was full of admiration for her. Qiuhua and Shumin chatted for most of the hour, assuming all the factors before and after the plan, and preparing to leave after making sure that it was correct.
Qiuhua also went to the east wing, visited Qiao's, and talked to her, Qiuhua's mouth was sweet, and Qiao's was eager to persuade her mother-in-law to marry her immediately. Zhang Li is also very happy, thinking that Qiuhua is the most suitable daughter-in-law in her mind.
This has to say that Qiuhua is a long-sleeved person who is good at dancing, and the originally taciturn Shumin is really not wronged at all when she loses to her.
Zhang Li and Qiao's wanted to keep the food, but Qiuhua prevaricated that his brother was working alone in geography and no one was cooking, so he had to go home to cook for him. Zhang Li and Qiao looked regretful, but they didn't want to say anything more.
The more satisfied you are with the autumn flowers, the more dissatisfied you are with Shumin.
After the autumn flowers left, Zhang Li breathed a long breath at the west chamber
"It would be nice if I got autumn flowers in the morning, maybe now it's the same as the second room, and I gave birth to several grandchildren, which is like now, just a girl, it's useless, and I can fall into the pond when I wash a dish, it's really unlucky. ”
"I'm really miserable, I have to serve the small ones after serving the big ones, losing money and goods, and the family has spent a lot of money!"
She healed the scar and forgot the pain, and the incident of Hui'er falling into the water yesterday had not passed, but she began to toss again.
Hui'er's matter is not that Shumin doesn't want to pursue it, but that she has to wait for a good time. However, Zhang Li's provocations all the time, Shumin is not going to endure it anymore
She rushed out of the room and didn't say anything back, just glared at Zhang Li with a seeping glare.
"Oh, you are a mourning star, you want to die when you look at me like this!" Zhang Li was stared at by her penetrating gaze, she was already weak-hearted, but she didn't want to lose her mother-in-law's prestige, so she picked up a firewood stick and slashed at her. Shumin didn't hide either. The stick fell on the old wound on her forehead.
Blood fell down her forehead, and with Shang Shumin's gaze, she was like a demon from hell, with a cold aura all over her body. Zhang Li was so frightened that he sat on the ground, and the wooden stick was also taken out of his hand.
It just so happened that Zhengyuan came back at this time, and Zhang Li seemed to have found a life-saving charm, shouting, "Son, come here, your daughter-in-law is going to kill someone!"
As soon as Zhengyuan raised his eyes, he saw the Qin clan with a bloody face, where could he care about what Zhang Li said, and immediately rushed to Shumin's side.
Shumin only came back from the ghost gate a few days ago, and her body was already weak, and yesterday she didn't rest well because Hui'er fell into the water all night, and she fainted at the end of the crossbow at this moment.
"No, it's her, she wants to kill me, that's why I'm right" Zhang Li wanted to explain, and suddenly found that her explanation was very pale. Looking at her son's disappointed eyes, she didn't know what to say "Da Lang, you believe me"
I believe that the one in front of her only shows one fact: she committed murder against the Qin family.
Thinking of this, she was very scared, "It's all to blame for this mourning star, who actually framed me like this" Not only did she not reflect on herself, but her resentment towards the Qin family deepened.
"Mother, you don't have to say more, if you really have the heart, go and ask a doctor!" he carried Shumin into the room, and there was still a person lying on the top of the room who was not awake. He placed her next to Hui'er and held a cloth against the bleeding wound on her head.
Looking at the two people on the bed, one big and one small, he suddenly felt so tired and tired.
Why is this happening?
For the first time, he began to think about the trade-off between his children and his lover. Is there really no way to have it both ways?
Shu Min's injury is actually not serious, but because it is an old wound, it is more scary. However, she was originally frail, and she shed so much blood that she was even weaker. The doctor told him to replenish his body and recuperate with peace of mind, and then left a prescription and left.
Most of the medicines on the prescription were some tonics, which were expensive, and Zhang Li's face darkened again.
"What a broom star, a mourning star, he won't have children if healed, why drink such expensive medicine! ”
"Mother!" Zhengyuan said, "Hui'er Niang is already like this, can't you say a few words?"
This was the first time in all these years that Zhengyuan had spoken to his mother so loudly, and Zhang Li's face turned red
"Am I wrong? Recently, the family needs money for everything, and she will pay 5 taels of silver to catch the medicine for the least. Where can I go to get 5 taels of silver, and what if I am cured, I can't give birth to a son, and I can't do things, is it difficult for the family to offer to her like a Buddha?"
"What's the noise!" the old man and his party returned. The work was finished, so it was naturally early to finish work, but as soon as I entered the door, I heard the quarrel in the eldest son's room in the West Chamber.
"Old man, look, where is the eldest daughter-in-law sick, it's like killing our family. Look at it, the doctor said that it is best to add ginseng, so where is it eaten by our small family. Zhang Li saw that the person who came was an old man, and immediately handed over the prescription in his hand.
The old man met the doctor on the way back, and he had a general understanding of the situation, and he wanted to count a few words from the old woman, but as soon as he heard that a few pieces of medicine would cost five taels of silver, his face changed.
"It's all tonics, and the crops are so expensive. In this way, if you kill a chicken and give it to your eldest daughter-in-law, it will be very supplemental. Anyway, the second daughter-in-law hasn't been confined yet, and the second daughter-in-law will make up for something, and she will make up for it. The women in the confinement eat not badly. The old man put the prescription away. Said to the old woman.
"Yes, yes, there are chickens and red dates in the house, and it is also very replenishing to stew and eat. Zhang Li immediately agreed, compared with ginseng, there are still one or two chickens.
I was looking at the person who hadn't woken up in bed from afar, and suddenly I felt very useless. He remembered that when he first got married, Hui'er Niang had a sweet smile all day long, her skin was white, her eyes were watery, and everyone envied him for taking a big beauty. But when did he start to see her smile anymore? now she was so thin, her skin was so yellow, and her eyes seemed to have no brilliance.
No wonder you don't want to live with me, but give me another chance, okay? I'll be good to you.
He had said this many times, but this time he actually felt that he didn't believe it anymore!
