"Stinky boy, I'm going to be angry if I mess around again." and his sister-in-law raised his hand to wipe the water off his face, and slapped his son's chubby ass again.

It was not easy to get such a baby bump, how could she be willing to really fight, it was just a scare, it looked like her hand was raised high, but in fact, it was only a light pat when it fell on her son's buttocks. The toothless boy who was more than ten months old didn't think that he thought his mother was playing with him, and he was still sitting in the bathtub laughing and giggling and playing with water, splashing a few splashes from time to time.

Seeing his son's lively and energetic appearance, he and his sister-in-law couldn't help laughing. She has only been married to Lijiatun for more than two years, and she has lived a good life at the beginning of her marriage, sweet and sweet, and the little couple is like glue, as good as a person. Ever since she became pregnant, she couldn't be happier. It is a happy thing to inherit the family and leave it in any family, but the situation of Li Shanhe's family she married is very strange, the ancestors have been passed down for four generations, even if they buy a concubine, they can't change this situation. When I think of my mother-in-law, when she looked at herself, her eyes looked at her chest and buttocks, probably because she saw that she was good at giving birth, so she spent a lot of money to marry herself, and how many little sisters were envious at that time. Especially after knowing that she has a body, she even worships the gods and worships the Buddha, and does not let herself get her hands dirty at all. She was grateful, but she also understood that her mother-in-law was good to her because she valued the piece of meat in her stomach. But if he can't avoid bad luck, he can only give birth to one child, and he is pregnant with a daughter, which cuts off the incense of the Li family. Isn't that the sinner of the Li family? So even if all the delicious food in the house was close to her, she still lost weight. Still emaciated.

She still remembers that for this matter, she secretly went to Aunt He, who gave birth to five children in Tunzi and was a son, to learn from the experience, and it was Aunt He who concluded that she was pregnant with a male fetus. Calmed her heart. Pregnant in October, the melon was ripe, and she really got a man in one fell swoop, for which she has always been grateful.

The sun was just right at noon, and there was nothing wrong with bathing bare, so she boiled water to bathe her son. Holding his son and standing in the bathtub, he and his sister-in-law pulled the dry cotton cloth on the rattan chair next to him and gently dried the water droplets on his body. A large number of footsteps passed in front of her yard, and she stood up with her son in her arms and looked out, only to see the back. One of them is the He family, "It's Aunt He and their family, where are they going at noon?" ”

The chubby little slap slapped his sister-in-law's face, and his sister-in-law came back to his senses, took out one hand to hold his son's hand, kissed his son's palm with a smile, and lifted it high and circled: "Stinky boy, it's time to take a nap, and it's still noisy." ”

Li Wen's family and Yang Liu were not on the way. After making an unpleasant scene, even if you stop by, you won't choose the same direction. The two sides parted under the cypress tree, turned a corner, and made sure that the Li Wen family could no longer hear, so the Wen family flicked his sleeves hatefully: "Phew." As long as you are a good person, you will be a good person, and you will be angry in your voice, you will really lose the face of our old Li family. ”

Although I can guess some meaning from the words of the second Danniang. But Yang Liu didn't know the details, and he didn't know why Wen knelt down and kowtowed. She just felt that the atmosphere was awkward, so she stepped forward to help Wen. You can't rush up and point at the nose of Li Wen's family without knowing anything, they are still the injured party. She only said a few words after that. People are also very talkative, and they are not embarrassed. Why did you fall into complaining? Yang Liu explained: "Second sister-in-law, I'm not partiality with outsiders, we're here"

Wen couldn't bear to listen to Yang Liu's defense, and directly cut off: "Come on, just the two of us, what kind of virtuous and considerate are you and me pretending to be virtuous and considerate?" ”

Yang Liu almost didn't come up in one breath, it was really a show that he met a soldier, and he couldn't explain it clearly. Okay, okay, okay it!

The two concubines walked on the road with their faces facing to one side, one in front of the other. As I passed by a house, the door of the courtyard suddenly opened, and out came a woman with a wooden basin in her hand, larger than a washbasin, which looked like it was used for bathing children.

"Sister-in-law." Yang Liu was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said hello, this big noon is either eating at home or taking a lunch break, and there are really few people who go out, so she was stunned for a moment. She doesn't know many people, she just looks at people's clothes, and her hair is all combed, well, woman, so calling her sister-in-law is the same as a modern "beauty", you can't go wrong with shouting like this.

This person is the one who remembered to water the creeper and his sister-in-law with bath water. She just glanced at Yang Liu on Li Cong's wedding day and didn't know her, but when she saw Wen's, she understood that Yang Liu should be Li Cong's daughter-in-law, so she smiled and nodded kindly. The water in the basin is naturally not good to splash out in front of people, so he and his sister-in-law put the bath at his feet, and said: "Where are you two women going to wander around this noon, I just saw Aunt He and a few sisters-in-law go to the old locust tree, why aren't you together?" ”

Wen replied and asked, "Is it only my mother-in-law and sister-in-law?" Old five, isn't Li Cong in it? ”

When she left, the He family and the others were preparing to eat at the second uncle's house, why did they all suddenly run away to the old locust tree, is there anything wrong?

and his sister-in-law recognized the back as He at a glance, because he had met He when he was delivering water to his mother-in-law, and he said a few words, so he was naturally impressed by He's clothes. As soon as Wen Wenshi asked, she thought about it seriously again, and said with some uncertainty: "There is a man, but he doesn't look like Li Cong in size." There should be mountains and Qiaoqiao, I didn't see it clearly, anyway, there were two children, and they did go to the old locust tree, and they walked very fast. ”

"How long have you been gone?"

"A quarter of an hour." And sister-in-law said. She came out to pour water after she slept Xiaopang, and the work before and after was only a quarter of an hour.

"Thank you, sister-in-law." Yang Liu pulled Raven's sleeve: "Second sister-in-law, let's go and have a look, maybe something is really wrong." ”

Wen Shi stretched out a palm to cover the head of the iron pillar, squinted at the sky, and said with some irritation: "On such a hot day, the iron pillar is so small, how can you stand it?" Let's go back first, even if there is anything, my mother will not leave us a word. It's all been done now. We haven't eaten a bite of food, so we can't go hungry. Speaking of this, he looked at Yang Liu indignantly and said. I don't know how some people's hearts grow, and they can't distinguish between relatives and aliens. The elbows turned outward, and his nephew was still suffering from the sun, but he was very distressed by other people's sons, and he was wounded and borrowed from the hat. ”

Yang Liu is really fed up with Wen's words of pointing at Sang and scolding Huai, you are his mother, you haven't even considered it, why bother to criticize her, she is not perfect. Originally, I didn't think that when did Wen become like this? It becomes sudden. She wasn't prepared at all. Thinking about the Yu family's yin and yang weirdness, Yang Liu actually felt that it was okay to accept it, Yang Liu shook her head, what was she thinking.

When she came back to her senses, Wen had already walked a long way with the iron pillar, and she and her sister-in-law were still standing at the gate of the courtyard, Yang Liu pulled the corners of her mouth at her in embarrassment, and rushed up in a few steps.

As soon as the coachman raised his whip, the carriage moved slowly. The carriage had very little space, and it was uncomfortable to be crowded with so many people at once. Xiaofu sat with the coachman against the sun. In the small space, the smell of sweat was full of breath in the nasal cavity, and Yu's chubby body shrank in the corner and clamped his arms. I'm afraid that the smell will come out. It wasn't until Qiaoqiao carefully reached out and opened the cloth curtains on the carriage that Yu thought of Li Cong and them, and reminded them loudly: "Mother." The third brother and sister haven't been found yet. ”

If it weren't for you, how could you delay finding everyone? Ho's eyebrows furrowed. In front of outsiders, he still suppressed the anger in his heart, and said calmly: "The fifth will find it." ”

Yu has something to say. Then I heard a voice: "Uh-"

A smell of chicken permeated the carriage. As soon as it touches the smell of sweat in the carriage, it immediately produces a pungent and strange smell.

The others immediately covered their noses and fanned the wind with their hands.

"Ouch, look at the way you haven't eaten meat in your eight lives" Rao wanted to be calm, and He couldn't hold his breath and pretended not to smell it, and lifted the curtain: "Master, hurry up, let's add money." ”

"Old Five."

Li Cong was locking the door when he heard Li Gen calling him from behind. He quickly turned around and answered.

"What's the matter, my brother and sister aren't here?" Without waiting for Li Cong to answer, he remembered that his daughter-in-law should have pulled Yang Liu to find the third daughter-in-law, so naturally he was not at home, and patted his forehead: "Look at my memory." ”

Li Cong naturally called Yang Liu first, but no one answered, and the pig also hummed in the circle when he heard the human voice. When he opened the stove, he saw that the pigweed was not fed, and there was only a shallow trace of the rice in the bowl under the basket, and it seemed that he had only eaten one bite and went out.

"Let's go to the town quickly, I heard that the third child is no longer good."

"How can this be, isn't it just a bump?" Li Cong was in a hurry, kicked down the broom standing in the corner, and didn't listen to Li Gen's explanation, and immediately walked in front: "Then hurry up." ”

Li Gen took a few steps to catch up: "Auntie, they have already gone to the old locust tree first, let's hurry up and catch up with the carriage." ”

*

By the time He and his entourage entered the Tongren Medical Hall, Li Zhuang and his wife had already arrived, and they were sitting in the hall with Li Wu, the doctor, and the two men.

"The second, the third"

Li Wu hurriedly stood up and held He's two hands: "Mother, it's okay, the third child is fine." ”

"That's good, that's good." He patted his chest and was helped by Li Wu to sit down on a chair.

"Now that everyone is here, the matter should be resolved." Dongfang Bai pressed the armrest of the chair and stood up. After Li Qiang was fine, he wanted to leave a long time ago, the weather was hot and dry, and people were impatient. However, Li Wu also said that he would not be able to solve the problem until the elders of the family and his younger brother's family arrived, and he had been waiting impatiently for a long time, and when they spoke a little, they went straight to the point.

He only glanced at Dongfang Bai lightly, and said to the doctor: "I want to see the third child first and see him with my own eyes." ”

"You"

Jing Hao stood in front of Dongfang Bai, who was about to run away, and said to He Shi with a smile: "It should be, it should be, we will wait for a few people outside." ”

After a while, the He family came out of the small room in the back, but there were a few tears on their faces. After they calmed down a little, Jing Hao spoke: "Old man, the collision injury Ling Lang was really an accident, and Xiaosheng is also deeply sorry." We have already paid for the medicine, which is twenty taels of silver, and it should be used for my brother's nutrition. We are staying in the first room of Tianzi in Yunkelai Inn, if Ling Lang has any questions, you can come to us, we will not leave Basin Town until Ling Lang gets better. ”

"You hurt my son. Just throw down twenty taels of silver? Hello look, it's not just my son who lies there without blood. Still the father of three children, he lay down. What should he do with that room of people? Who knows if it's really okay, if there are any sequelae left, his life will be completely ruined! He Shi's affection was a little uncontrollable, just now when she entered the house, she saw Li Qiang's face as if she saw Li Wei when he died, and her heart almost stopped beating, until she touched Li Qiang's warm body. Almost, almost, she is about to lose a son again. And the two people in front of him were the culprits who caused this qiē consequence, and He looked at Jing Hao and the two with hatred.

No amount of comforting words can soothe the current mood of a mother. Jing Hao could understand, so he didn't say a lot of decent words, and in fact, he wasn't good at words. But the trouble was caused by him, and his posture was about to be corrected, but he also made a quick decision to cut through the chaos: "Old man, it's our fault, what do you say, it's private or go to court." ”

He's eyes narrowed: "What." You hit someone and you still want to threaten me? "Do you really think that she doesn't dare to see an official as a flat-headed commoner?

"That's not what we meant, old man, aren't we asking you for your ideas right now. It's okay to be private, or it's okay to go to court. It's up to you. ”

Du Shi suddenly spoke: "Listen to the accent, the two of you are not locals." ”

Dongfang Bai frowned, what's going on with this Li family's tutor. How can it be that all women are outstanding? The old woman is an elder, after all. A room full of men, what are you talking about a woman? Snorted. With the pride in his bones, he straightened his back: "The people of the capital." ”

"But," Dongfang Bai's topic changed, "Is there no man in this family, why are they all women, let"

Du's eyes flashed with anger, he looked down on women, didn't he? The man is very backbone, didn't she still recruit a son-in-law? As soon as Li Wubu moved, he grabbed in front of the Du clan and said: "My brother has just picked up a life, even if it is not a matter of a day or two, what should I do with the family's livelihood?" It can't all fall on my brother-in-law and a few children, and it's inevitable to worry. ”

Dongfang Bai's expression eased, Basin Town has nothing to do with wealth at all, even a few rich families have also made a fortune and accumulated capital in other places. Most of them were farmers who worked at sunrise and rested at sunset, and the importance of an adult toiler to a farming family was well aware of these wandering days.

"I've offended my sister-in-law." Dongfang Bai hugged his fists, which can be regarded as an apology.

"Lady, you are not feeling well, sit down and rest first." Li Zhuang helped Du Shi to sit down on the chair, his movements carefully and gently.

He's eyebrows frowned slightly, what was wrong with the fourth child in front of people, and he lost face. But she can't be angry with this, she seems to be harsh and unkind, and tries to make herself appear calm: "Fourth, daughter-in-law is"

"Mother, it's been more than three months since my mother has a body." Li Zhuang explained, his face was full of the brilliance of father's love, and even some of his hunched backs were straightened.

Hearing the news of Du Ruojin's pregnancy undoubtedly injected a trace of warm sunshine into the heart of the depressed He family, and it was indeed a great blessing in life. There was a soft smile on her face: "Then you usually pay more attention, don't let Ruojin bump into it." Ruojin, you also have to rest more, don't get tired. Thinking that this child was born without the surname Li, there was a small crack in He's perfect smile.

Li Zhuang unintentionally noticed He's expression, and immediately guessed what He was thinking, and the smile on the corner of his mouth faded. But today's protagonists are not them, so they coughed and reminded: "Mother, third brother"

Dongfang Bai and Jing Hao had been listening, and only at this moment did Dongfang Bai raise his eyebrows: "Why, this is not"

"Naturally not, my brother and daughter-in-law are on their way here." It was Li Wu who answered.

"Heh, why did the husband have an accident, when the wife didn't show up for the first time, the younger siblings stood up first."

With such a blatant provocation, the faces of the people in the room suddenly became embarrassed, and Li Wu's tone suddenly became heavier: "Son, please be cautious!" ”

Jing Hao also felt that Dongfang Bai was serious, even if he was angry, he couldn't joke about other people's reputation, so he pulled Dongfang Bai and hugged his fists to everyone one by one to apologize: "My brother is straightforward and open-mouthed, please don't blame me." ”

"Are you trying to lose some money and run away?"

"The doctor has already said that Ling Lang's life is safe, and since there is no life, why should we run away?"

"If you really want to run, why send him to the hospital again. I ran away at the time, and this is not taking off my pants and farting. Is it too much? Dongfang Bai was behind Jing Hao, but his mouth was not idle. He used to wander around the market. I picked up a lot of foul language. As soon as these words came out, even the doctor who stroked the beard also looked at Dongfang Bai several times, as if he was wondering how such ugly words could come out of the mouth of the handsome man in front of him.

"It's going to take a long time, but you'll come up with a charter. I haven't eaten lunch, sir, but I don't have the heart to accompany you well-fed people to spend money here, so let's just say a specific number, even if I wait for the sister-in-law to come, in the end it is nothing more than asking for silver. The result is the same, so why delay the efforts of so many people? Find someone who can call the shots. Let's just make an offer. ”

He has always loved and hated rich people, and he has always been on the tip of the bull's horns: "Saying so much, don't you want to escape?" It's great to be rich, and you can look at people through your nostrils? ”

"Fart! Old woman, what do you mean, you don't eat soft and hard, you don't eat oil and salt, you don't want to reconcile, right? Okay, see you in court! ”

"Childe. It's not how to say it, at least you have to make amends if you hit someone. ”

"Reparation? Well, it should. And then, don't want money? Dongfang Bai asked with a smile on his face.

He shot the coffee table directly. His face turned red with anger: "You are still justified if you hurt someone, shouldn't you lose money?" ”

"If we don't lose money, what is it?" Dongfang Bai pointed to the two big silver ingots on the coffee table, "You said so much just to get more silver." Who knows if he deliberately rushed out and hit me in the carriage? Look at you poor and sour. Maybe you can't live anymore, so you will gamble with your life. If you're lucky enough not to die, you can blackmail a little bit. If you are unlucky, you can also pull others to eat people's lives. In the end, you can still get the money, it depends on your willingness to gamble. Don't stare at me, stare at me, I'm telling the truth, in times of famine, there are many people who sell their sons and daughters, so what's so strange about exchanging their lives for their children to live better? It's not weird, maybe it's your family who wrote and acted by yourself from beginning to end, but it is a pain for those of us who are in the dark and still blame ourselves, and you can still act because of it. ”

"Get out, get out of here for me." Ho pointed angrily at the door.

Dongfang Bai seemed to feel that the fire was not lively enough, and pointed to the two large silver ingots on the coffee table: "That silver"

"That's my son's life-saving money, and you still want to take it?" Angry, He's brain is not confused, and she can only treat her son's injuries with money. If she had money in her hand back then, why did she need the fourth child to be a door-to-door son-in-law? Thinking of this, He's anger was a little less, and it was harder to figure out some things.

"Hey, I really thought you were going to go to the county yamen to complain, it doesn't seem stupid. However, let's tell you the number, let's be a witness in front of so many villagers, lest your family run to us and cry twice in three days, and it seems that we have done a great wrong. We also spend money to buy a quiet, this year when we taste a little sweetness, we want to squeeze out people's blood, we are also afraid. Oh, old man, of course I don't mean you. ”

He pretended not to understand what he meant in the Oriental vernacular that they wanted to rely on him, and looked directly at the old doctor, who understood and promised: "The medicine money for the next few days has been paid by this son, and the old man guarantees with his own reputation, Ling Lang will definitely have no worries about life, just need to recuperate for a few months, and the old man guarantees that Ling Lang will be alive." ”

He nodded, and then said to Dongfang Bai: "These twenty taels should be used as money for my son to buy supplements, if my son is safe and sound, we will naturally not pester you again." We are poor, but we also have backbone, and we will not humble ourselves to do things that hurt nature and reason and violate our conscience, this is the case for my three sons, and the same is true for our Li family. But if my son has three longs and two shorts, even if he chases him to the ends of the earth, I will also seek justice. My wife is still the master in this family, so naturally she speaks! ”

Jing Hao said: "I believe you, old man. The doctor said that Ling Lang should not be moved within three days, and he also needs to be taken care of in these three days. We live in room No. 1 of Yunkelou, my name is Jing Hao, and we will come over to visit Ling Lang at any time. ”

He nodded and motioned for Li Wu to go and take the broken silver. Jing Hao and the two quit at this time, and found a small restaurant nearby to go to the Five Organs Temple first. (To be continued......)
