Chapter 70: Unmarried and pregnant
Aunt Jiang is now in a hurry to make money.
She needs money, and her bastard second brother needs money even more, it turned out that the second brother was called by the prospective father-in-law last night, urging the Jiang family to quickly get money to build a house.
The reason is that Jiang Yuanliang didn't know when he secretly slept with Zhang Fumei, so that he was pregnant before marriage, and if he didn't hurry up to get married this year, he would be ugly next year.
Jiang Yuanliang was afraid of being beaten by his father-in-law, so he was in a hurry, and after drinking some wine, he went to his eldest brother's house to borrow wine and pretended to be crazy when he came back at night, wanting to force his sister-in-law to come out with money.
But I didn't expect to grasp the scale and poke out the big basket.
Aunt Jiang knew that what she was asking was a little inappropriate, so she observed Jiang Mi's face while asking.
Jiang Mi showed no signs of turning his face. Because she is also in a hurry to make money.
But Jiang Xiaoyu's current situation needs to be guarded by others.
Li Lamei, who was lying on the kang and pretending to be asleep, knew that Aunt Jiang was coming, so she closed her eyes and kept silent.
Aunt Jiang didn't dare to disturb her, and she always spoke in a low voice.
However, when she heard the words of Jiang Xiaogu's words about digging medicinal materials, she suddenly remembered what Jiang Mi said last night that she wanted to dig medicinal materials to make money. didn't care about putting on a face and pretending to be asleep, opened his eyes and said to Jiang Mi: "I am at home, you can go up the mountain with your sister-in-law today." ”
"But Mom, your head, aren't you dizzy?" Jiang Mi was a little worried.
"I won't be able to die for a while." Li Lamei said with a stinky face.
Aunt Jiang pinched the corners of her clothes and was a little cramped. After thinking about it, she still said to her sister-in-law in a soft voice: "Sister-in-law, your parents will come over to help you peel corn husks in a while, you can rest well, and then work when your body is better." ”
In fact, Mrs. Jiang only arranged for Jiang Laohan to help alone, and Aunt Jiang felt that her second brother had done such a bastard thing, and she had to rely on Jiang Mi to make money together, so naturally it was not enough to help alone.
Li Lamei couldn't help but be stunned when she heard Aunt Jiang's words. Does she know that her mother-in-law has the best face, how can she give up her son to help her own work?
The three of them were talking, and there was a greeting from Qiangzi's mother outside the house, "Is his sister-in-law at home?" ”
"Auntie, why are you here?" Aunt Jiang saw that Jiang Mi was waiting for Jiang Xiaoyu to eat chicken, and hurriedly greeted her. "My sister-in-law is at home, but she is dizzy and can't get up from the kang."
"Oh, that's right, your third grandmother asked me to bring the eggs. You help your sister-in-law collect it, and I won't go in. ”
Qiangzi's mother knew that Jiang Yuanliang beat Li Lamei yesterday, and when she saw that only Aunt Jiang came out, she thought that Li Lamei couldn't see anyone, so she stopped in the middle of the room and didn't enter the east house.
Jiang Mi fed a piece of chicken to Jiang Xiaoyu and asked, "How is Aunt Meilan?" ”
"Ah, it's much better, it's not burning today. Rice, your third grandmother asked me to ask you, can you give another pill? I feel like the medicine works. ”
Qiangzi's mother heard Jiang Mi's movement and hurriedly said the purpose of the trip.
"Eating too much tetracycline is not good for children, I'll give you three days' worth of medicine. Don't eat it after three days. One in the morning and one in the evening. At noon, I still let her drink the grass water. By the way, you take a small handful of this kind of grassroots back, and it is also boiling water, but don't boil it for too long, hold it for a while after boiling the pot, and wash it for Meilan's sister-in-law when it is cold. ”
Jiang Mi put down his chopsticks and got up to get the medicine for Qiangzi's mother.
Jiang Xiaoyu's two little hands were swollen into steamed buns, and he couldn't eat with chopsticks by himself.
Seeing her sister put down her chopsticks, she thought she wouldn't give him food, so she suddenly called out urgently, "Sister, sister, I haven't eaten yet, I'm not full!" ”
"Okay, I know you haven't eaten enough, I'll eat again later, no one will rob you." Jiang Mi hurriedly comforted Jiang Xiaoyu, for fear that the little guy would burst the blisters on his hands.
For the sake of the 10 eggs, Jiang Mi not only gave tetracycline pills, but also took a small handful of Houttuynia cordata roots that he had bothered to pick early in the morning and gave them to Qiangzi's mother.
Qiangzi's mother tightly grasped the paper bag containing the pills in her right hand, and with some hesitation in her left hand, she took the root of Houttuynia cordata that looked like sweet roots.
"This can also be a cure?" She was clearly not convinced.
