Chapter 44: The Relapse of an Old Disease

He took a handkerchief and helped Shen Lingxiu wipe the ink on his face, but Shen Lingxiu especially minded others touching his face because of the mole, and reacted extremely fiercely and took a big step back.

"You've got ink on your face." Lin Ziwen was also a little uncomfortable to explain.

"Oh! I'll do it myself! Shen Lingxiu took the handkerchief and wiped her face by herself, her movements were very light, she was really afraid that she would accidentally wipe off the sticky mole.

deliberately went to look in the mirror, the mole was still in its original position, and Shen Lingxiu was relieved.

"Okay, you can teach me how to write." She walked up to Lin Ziwen and spoke.

Lin Ziwen spread the paper flat, picked up a brush and dipped it in ink, and then wrote stroke by stroke.

It didn't take long for it to be written, Lin Ziwen handed the pen to Shen Lingxiu, but found that her holding posture was problematic, so he held her hand and corrected it.

Regarding learning, Lin Ziwen was very serious, talking little by little, correcting, Shen Lingxiu felt that the Lin Ziwen in front of him seemed to be different from the simple, kind and even a little weak Lin Ziwen he knew before.

Such Lin Ziwen has a little serious masculinity.

Shen Lingxiu is very smart, she learned how to write her name after just practicing a few times, and Lin Ziwen couldn't help but praise it.

Chi Huifang returned home depressed, distressed that business was not good, Lin Shengyuan gave Chi Huifang an idea, saying that she invited Shen Lingxiu over to help, her craftsmanship was not bad, and it would definitely improve, Chi Huifang was tempted, but she went out and went straight to Shen Lingxiu's room.

"Brother and sister, sister-in-law has something to discuss with you." Chi Huifang spoke, and Shen Lingxiu went out to deal with it.

"What's the matter?" Wouldn't it be okay to let her go out of business? Shen Lingxiu felt that Chi Huifang was really sinister, I don't know what she was thinking about?

"Otherwise, you can come to my noodle shop to help, and my sister-in-law will pay you."

Shen Lingxiu was taken aback, she really didn't expect that Chi Huifang would be able to speak.

"How do you get paid?" She asked, with an incomprehensible smile on her lips.

"Sister-in-law will give you a copper plate in two days, and it will be fifteen copper plates in a month!" Chi Huifang patted her chest and said, thinking how generous she was.

Shen Lingxiu wanted to laugh when she heard it, she had a copper plate every two days, and she really said that she could earn more than 20 copper plates a day by opening her own store!

But instead of refusing, she asked.

"Then, sister-in-law, are you responsible for your father's medical expenses?"

"Why? That's where you're responsible. What does it have to do with me! Chi Huifang immediately turned her face, she knew that Father Lin was old, and the medical expenses were a lot of money, and she would be stupid if she agreed.

And this sentence happened to be heard by Father Lin at the door, he was angry, he didn't expect the eldest daughter-in-law who was crying a few days ago to ask him for help turned her face so quickly and didn't recognize anyone, he was angry and wanted to come in and reason with Chi Huifang, but instead he accidentally fell and fell to the ground hard.

"Daddy! What's wrong with you! Shen Lingxiu heard the sound and ran over, and was taken aback when she saw Father Lin falling, so she quickly helped Father Lin up and went to the room.

Father Lin's leg fell again, the old injury recurred, Shen Lingxiu personally went to ask for a doctor, and then prescribed a lot of medicine, when paying Chi Huifang hid far away, for fear that she would make herself pay for it, Shen Lingxiu paid the money without speaking.

The doctor diagnosed that Lin's father's condition deteriorated due to his leg injury, coupled with his impatience, his body was very weak and he urgently needed recuperation, and emphasized that the medicine could not be stopped.

That's a lot of money.

There is no way, Shen Lingxiu can only get up early and set up a stall in the dark again, due to the rest of a few days, a lot of guests have been scattered, it is obvious that there are not as many as before, Shen Lingxiu is a little melancholy, and now it is the time when she is in urgent need of money, there is no way, she has to be busy setting up a stall while asking Ah Bao to go to the temple to sell some noodles, both prongedly, but also save some money.

Although she was very tired, Shen Lingxiu couldn't help but plan carefully, the family's daily expenses, food and clothing, as well as Lin's father's medical expenses, and she had to save some money for emergencies.

Every night, the stall was closed, and it was hard to settle the accounts, fortunately, the business of the noodle stall began to pick up, and the income increased day by day, Shen Lingxiu felt very pleased, and Ah Bao worked hard to sell noodles every day, and the people in the temple affectionately called Ah Bao a small noodle lang.

On this day, Shen Lingxiu took stock and found that she had saved enough medical expenses for three or four days, and she was very happy, if it went on like this, even if the medical expenses were a big expense, she was not afraid, supported by a noodle restaurant, and there was money every day, so there was nothing to worry about.

Obviously, she was a little proud too early, there were unforeseen storms and rains, and just after dinner, it began to rain, and there was no intention of stopping.

"It's not going to rain all the time." Shen Lingxiu looked at the pouring rain outside the window with some worry.

"Phew! Crow's beak! Shen Lingxiu snorted several times in a row.

Lin Ziwen walked over and sighed slightly and said.

"The rainy season is here again."

"Rainy season?" Shen Lingxiu asked suspiciously.

"Yes, it rains for days at this time, and this year it's ahead of schedule." Lin Ziwen spoke.

No, it's so accurate, you can't go out of the stall for a few days when it rains, so you can't do business.

Shen Lingxiu began to worry, it seemed that she would have to live a few days when she could only go in and out.

The next day, while the rain was not yet heavy, Shen Lingxiu instructed Lin Ziwen to go to the town to buy back the medicine for the past few days, no matter what, the medicine could not be broken.

She looked at the money she had saved these days, and after buying the medicine, there were a few copper plates left.

There is no way, the days can only be passed tightly, survive the past few days, Shen Lingxiu cheered himself up.

Because of the rain, Chi Huifang didn't come out of the stall, and remembered that Father Lin was sick, so she brought some things to visit Father Lin.

"Dad, how are you?" Chi Huifang looked concerned and spoke worriedly.

"Get out! I don't need you! Father Lin was furious, and when he mentioned Chi Huifang, he was out of breath, and slammed the bowl on the table to the ground, making a screeching sound.

Chi Huifang was startled, reflexively took a few steps back, and then spoke.

"Dad, what are you doing, I'm kind enough to come to see you!" Chi Huifang was also a little angry, and wiped the water stains splashed on her body with the water in the bowl with her hand.

"Dad, I'm going to have a fight with you, they're all daughters-in-law, why is there such a big difference between me and the third family! Don't forget, we Shengyuan is your only biological son, the second child died early, leaving a half-old child, the third child, and not biological, you have to have points in your heart, which son to point to in the future. ”

Chi Huifang said word by word.

It happened to be heard by Shen Lingxiu at the door.

even dared to talk about pension, even if Father Lin was very good to them, she might not be able to provide for Father Lin, and she was embarrassed to say it herself.

After her reminder, she understood a little, the Lin family's special family, presumably Lin Ziwen also knows his situation, his mother doesn't love his father, and he has lived cautiously since he was a child, which is probably why he is so cowardly.

Shen Lingxiu was a little inexplicably distressed, she felt sorry for Lin Ziwen, she had a lot of love in her childhood, and naturally she lacked some of the liveliness that children should have, living in this family carefully, but somehow, her heart suddenly hurt as if she was being pinched.

Lin Ziwen also came back from taking the medicine, the rain gradually became heavier, his shoes were soaked, Shen Lingxiu suddenly found that Lin Ziwen only had a pair of shoes without holes, that is, the pair of his feet that were already soaked.

Shen Lingxiu suddenly became maternal, and she decided to make a pair of shoes for Lin Ziwen, just in time for the rain to be free.

But to be honest, this is the first time she has made shoes.

Just do it, Shen Lingxiu prepared the tools in a decent way, then measured the size, and deliberately went to the neighbors to ask for advice, because it was raining, and the neighbors were also doing some manual work, seeing that Shen Lingxiu was so capable, she couldn't stop praising her, and Shen Lingxiu's face turned red.

After studying for several hours, she didn't go home until lunch, she already knew how to make shoes, she put the tools aside, and then went to the kitchen to cook, and fed the chicks, afraid that the chicks would be drenched, and went to cover the chicken coop with a little something, and was pleasantly surprised to find that the chicks had grown up a lot.

"Chicks, chicks, grow up quickly, lay eggs when you grow up."

Shen Lingxiu has words.

After eating, Shen Lingxiu continued to make the shoes in his hands, and Lin Ziwen, who couldn't go to the school, was also looking at the book on the side, turning a page, his eyes were a little tired, he looked back at Shen Lingxiu and was doing something with a serious face.

The serious look was very charming, and he couldn't help but look at it for a long time.

Shen Lingxiu also noticed Lin Ziwen's gaze and spoke.

"What are you looking at?"

"I look at you!" Lin Ziwen couldn't help but speak.

"What do you see me doing?" Shen Lingxiu couldn't help but tease Lin Ziwen, as soon as his blazing eyes touched, his eyes met, Lin Ziwen couldn't help blushing, and he began to change the topic.

"What do you do?"

"I'll make you shoes!" Shen Lingxiu didn't stop the movements of his hand and spoke.

Lin Ziwen was flattered, surprised and shy, no one had made shoes for him yet, and this pair of shoes was also bought by Lin's father at the market when he saw that his shoes were really rotten.

Shen Lingxiu couldn't help laughing, she found that Lin Ziwen really loved to blush!

When I was distracted, I accidentally pricked my hand, "Ouch! The pain ran down her fingers, and she couldn't help but frown.

Lin Ziwen nervously put down the book and walked over, took Shen Lingxiu's finger, and the bright red blood gushed out, which was extremely shocking on the snow-white finger.

He picked up his fingers and sucked them in distress, frowning slightly, the distress on his face was very obvious, Shen Lingxiu was very surprised, such a gentle Lin Ziwen made her heart warm, the pain seemed to disappear, and time seemed to stand still, she stared at the powder-faced scholar in front of her, as if something had undergone a subtle change.
