Chapter 14: The Mourning Star
As the saying goes, good things don't go out, bad things spread thousands of miles, and it didn't take long for Liu Zhicheng to be lame, and it didn't take long for it to spread throughout Bishui Village.
When the news reached Liu Zhicheng's wife Chen Suzhen, Chen Suzhen was washing clothes by the river, and after confirming the incident, she hurried to Li's house without even taking her clothes.
Her wife died at an early age, leaving her as a widow and a son to earn a living. Chen Suzhen has always been strong, and she didn't think about remarrying when her wife was gone, for fear that her son would be abused.
After the death of his wife, Liu Zhicheng is all that Chen Suzhen has, and she takes her son Liu Zhicheng as her own life.
In Chen Suzhen's view, his son is good in terms of appearance, body and personality, but he can't see each other.
When Liu Zhicheng was interested in Su Xiaoman, Chen Suzhen disliked Su Xiaoman's family for having no money, and she was not worthy of her son's harshness and harshness towards Su Xiaoman, but this was nothing, and when Liu Zhicheng was about to join the Li family, Chen Suzhen was really unhappy.
She finally pulled her eldest son, she didn't enjoy a few days of happiness, this son is going to someone else's house to be a son-in-law? She disagrees!
At this time, she remembered Su Xiaoman's goodness, and regretted why she had obstructed the two of them at that time, if their business was done, her son would not have become someone else's family.
Liu Zhicheng finally joined the Li family, and she could only see her son once in a while, which also made Chen Suzhen very dissatisfied with the Li family, and even less like her daughter-in-law Li Xin, who has always been commanding.
It's all to blame Li Xin, the little vixen, for seducing his son!
It wasn't until Chen Suzhen knew that Li Xin was pregnant with her eldest grandson in her belly that Chen Suzhen's attitude eased a little.
But Chen Suzhen didn't expect Li Xin's daughter-in-law to be so good at causing trouble.
She heard that Li Xin injured a person, and this person's family found the Li family, and saw that Li Xin was pregnant and couldn't do anything, so she sprinkled it on Zhicheng!
O iniquity!
Zhicheng is such an excellent child, how can he become a cripple at a young age?
knew that this was the case, she was dead in the first place, and she should not have agreed to Liu Zhicheng marrying Li Xin, a mourning star!
The people in the village all gathered around to join in the fun, listening to Chen Suzhen scolding Li Xin like pouring beans for half an hour, and the most absolute thing was that there was no repetition in half a sentence.
Li Shu was so angry that the green tendons on his head jumped suddenly, and he scratched Li Xin fiercely, his eyes were unprecedentedly angry.
"Look at the good things you've done!"
Li Shu slapped the table fiercely, because the force was too strong, the tiger's mouth was numb.
Li Xin didn't care about these, she lay on Liu Zhicheng's bedside and cried so much that she almost fainted, Li Shu really had no choice, opened the door and invited Chen Suzhen into the house with kind words, and then closed the door with a "bang", blocking the eyes of everyone watching outside the door.
"My poor son...... Why is your life so miserable......"
Chen Suzhen finally entered the house, looked at Liu Zhicheng, who was pale and bloodless on the bed, and struggled for a while, squeezed Li Xin away and began to cry.
"My mother told you at the time...... This woman can't be married...... How long has it been since your leg is lame...... It's all to blame for this mourning star...... "She cried sadly, her voice was sad, obviously she really felt sorry for Liu Zhicheng's experience, but these words were naturally not good words in Li Xin's ears.
Li Xin was anxious on the spot, and she couldn't care about crying, so she pointed at Chen Suzhen's nose and scolded: "Old Qianwu, who do you say is the mourning star?!"
Chen Suzhen cried even more sadly, "Son, look at it...... This is the daughter-in-law you married...... She wants me to die......"
Liu Zhicheng was so painful that he couldn't even move his fingers, and his ears were filled with the cries and curses of the two women, who wanted to comfort but had more than enough strength, and finally accidentally pulled the injury and fainted in pain.
The scene became even more chaotic.
Lu Li's cooking skills are still very good, the rice porridge is boiled over low heat to be extremely viscous, the chicken inside is torn into thin shredded meat, with a few green vegetables, and then climb a pinch of salt, it is simply the most stomach-warming existence in this late autumn season.
Su Xiaoman took the spoon, and without waiting for the porridge to cool down completely, he scooped a spoonful and put it in his mouth, and he was reluctant to spit out the hot tears.
When Lu Li came over with pickles, Su Xiaoman's bowl of porridge was already about to bottom out.
Su Xiaoman covered the mouth of the bowl with some embarrassment.
Lu Li didn't want to tease her, so he pointed to the sewing kit at the head of the bed.
"Just did the embroidery work again?"
"Well, there's nothing to do lying down anyway, just drive the embroidery out, and send it to Shopkeeper Zhao when I have time."
The shopkeeper Zhao is the fat shopkeeper of the garment shop, called Zhao Qianchuan.
Su Xiaoman is still confident in his embroidery, and the sooner he finishes the embroidery, the sooner he can get money.
Lu Li nodded, "Tomorrow, I'll go with you tomorrow." ”
Su Xiaoman's eyes lit up, and he nodded in a panic.
At night, Su Xiaoman slept in the crook of the man's arm, felt the warmth that was constantly transmitted from the man's body, and fell asleep deeply.
The next day was a rare sunny day.
Su Xiaoman rarely woke up earlier than Lu Li, and after looking at the man's sleeping face for a while, Su Xiaoman tiptoed out of bed, put on his coat and went outside.
She first went to the chicken pen and touched it, took out four or five wild eggs, and then scooped a bowl of corn into the chicken pen to reward these pheasants who laid eggs seriously.
These pheasants were picked up by Lu Li when he was hunting before, the pheasants at this time are more firewood, and there is not much meat, there is nothing to eat, Lu Li generally does not like to hunt this kind of prey, but Su Xiaoman likes it very much.
Su Xiaoman has long thought about raising a few poultry, especially chickens and ducks that can lay eggs, which can not only make multiple dishes on the table, but also consume not much food.
I was going to wait for the spring to warm up and then buy a few chicks to raise, but I didn't expect such an unexpected joy, although the pheasants are not as diligent as the chickens to lay eggs, but the number is not good? Lu Li can find several of them in a circle of the mountains, and pheasants are better to feed than domestic chickens.
Su Xiaoman lit a fire, waited for the pot to be hot, put some oil in the pot, beat the wild eggs in a bowl and stirred well, then took out the dough that had been made last night, and began to paste the egg cakes.
The golden egg wash is wrapped in green green onions, and the two have an appetizing aroma after choking on oil.
Su Xiaoman's movements were very skillful, and after finding that the cake was almost cooked, the spatula picked up and lifted around the egg cake, and the golden egg cake was out of the pot, and it was placed in a circle next to the edge of the plate, which was very tempting.
"Are you up? Come and help me bring the bread into the house, or it will get cold......
Su Xiaoman raised his eyes and saw Lu Li at the door of the firewood room now, stuffed the plate containing the egg cake into his hand, and hurriedly went to see the porridge in the pot.
Lu Li pinched the corner of the egg cake and took a bite.
Well, it tastes good.
