"Grandpa the village chief, I don't want to be like this, it's all forced out." Li Qingling lowered his head, looking like he wanted to cry or not.

Fame? Fame is nothing compared to fate.

Hearing this, the village chief sighed again, and glanced at Li Qingling with pity, the older this old Li Tou is, the more confused he becomes, he sees, there is a day when he regrets it.

"It's better to be careful, it's not good to hurt others and hurt yourself." It is difficult for the Qing official to distinguish family affairs, and he can't help them too much, at most he just persuades them.

Li Qingling didn't want to say more, so he just nodded.

She knew that the next time something like this happened, she would still do it.

The village chief shook his head, said a few more words, and walked away with his hands behind his back.

After the village chief left, Li Qingling exhaled, looked up at Zhao, and said distressedly, "Mother, is it painful?" ”

Her mother's desire to protect her, she still felt it.

Zhao shook her head, looking at her pair of children, the redness and swelling on her forehead, she was very distressed, and reached out and gently touched Li Qingling's injury, "It's my mother's fault, I didn't protect you." ”

If she was more fierce, her mother-in-law wouldn't dare to come to the door and bully them like this.

"Mother, what do you say? As long as you are good, it is the best protection for me and my brother. "Is her mother still pregnant? If she had made a mistake, she and her brother would have been orphaned.

Li Qingling's comforting words made Zhao's tears fall faster, but he was very comforted in his heart, after her husband was gone, her daughter seemed to have grown up all of a sudden and became the backbone of the family.

"Okay, okay, don't cry, crying too much is not good for the baby." Li Qingling stretched out his hand to wipe her tears, and comforted her in a low voice, "The next time grandma and they come to find fault again, you will be hardened, and if you are hardened, they will have nothing to do with you." ”

After experiencing this kind of thing a lot, her mother's bun should slowly stand up.

If she can't stand up again, she really has nothing to say.

When Zhao stopped crying, Li Qingling went to fetch a basin of water, and the mother washed her face.

As soon as she poured the water, Liu Zhimo ran in sweating profusely, he saw the swollen bag on her forehead, pursed his lips, and reached out to hand her a bottle of medicine, "This ointment can reduce swelling, you take it." ”

put the basin away, Li Qingling didn't be polite to him, and directly took it and thanked him.

If it weren't for him, he would have gone to find the village chief, and Lao Li would not have left so happily.

"The next time you encounter this kind of thing, you can call me, don't carry it yourself."

When he saw her standing at the door with a knife in order to protect her mother and brother, he felt a little distressed in his heart, feeling that she was young and had to defend her home.

Li Qingling looked at him and chuckled, "When you meet someone like my grandmother and my aunt, you have to be tougher than them, even more scoundrels than them, you..." she glanced at Liu Zhimo up and down, "You can't, you won't quarrel." ”

When the words fell, Liu Zhimo's face turned red, but she still stumbled and said, let her go to him directly next time she has something.

Seeing that he was so persistent, Li Qingling simply nodded, if someone wanted to help her, of course she would not refuse.

Liu Zhimo glanced at her, turned around and wanted to leave, but his wrist was grabbed, he turned his head and looked at Li Qingling's eyes.

"Don't go yet, I have something to tell you." Li Qingling let go of his hand and motioned for him to come into the house.

Confused, he stepped in.

"You sit down for a moment." Li Qingling said to Liu Zhimo.

Turned around and unscrewed the cap of the bottle, got some ointment on his hand, gently rubbed it on Zhao's cheek, and said to Zhao, "This is a medicine sent by Brother Zhimo, which can reduce swelling!" ”

Zhao Shi felt that her face was cool and cool, she looked at Liu Zhimo and said thank you to Liu Zimo.

Although Liu Zhimo's father and mother are gone, Liu Zhimo's child is a good one, and if his daughter marries in the future, presumably the couple will be able to live in harmony.

Liu Zhimo said politely again, he looked at Li Qingling busy with his work, and his eyes were a little deep.

"Wait..."Li Qingling helped Li Qingfeng with the medicine, and just wanted to twist the lid, but was stopped by Zhao, Zhao poured a little medicine in his hand, and raised his hand to help her wipe it, "You, I forgot to wipe it for myself." ”

Li Qingling smiled, wrung the medicine this time, and handed it to Liu Zhimo.

Liu Zhimo didn't take it, let them continue to use it, and if they used it twice, they would be able to reduce the swelling.

After thinking about it, Li Qingling no longer shirked and put the medicine away.

"Mother, did you send a pheasant to Brother Zhimo?" She came back from the set, and before she had time to ask the Zhao family, the Liu family came to the door to find fault, and now she had time to ask.

Zhao nodded, "Let Xiaofeng bring it over." ”

Speaking of the pheasant and fish at home, Liu Zhimo's eyes flashed, "Sister Ling, this pheasant..."The mountain where their village is located, there is no prey, let alone such a fat pheasant.

Where did she get it back?

"Xiaofeng, you go and sit outside, and when someone comes, you will scream." Li Qingling turned her head and told Li Qingfeng that Songshan had prey, and she didn't want others to know about it, but if she wanted others to know, she wouldn't have anything to do.

People are selfish, and her family is too poor to live, so of course she has to take care of her family first.

And Liu Zhimo is her little fiancé, and it is good for her family, of course she has to pull him.

Li Qingfeng snorted, ran out, and sat down at the gate of the small courtyard.

So cautious? Liu Zhimo's expression became serious.

"Brother Zhimo, I asked you to wait, just to tell you about pheasants." Li Qingling sat down and looked at Liu Zhimo, "After hearing this, you have to help me keep it secret." ”

"Of course...", he is not a savior, how can he be so generous?

Knowing that Liu Zhimo was a steady person, Li Qingling also said to him with confidence, "Two days ago, I went to Songshan, and I was sure that there was food there, I will tell you, I just want to ask you, do you want to go with me?" ”

Matsuyama?

He had heard of Songshan, it was quite far from here, he didn't expect that Li Qingling would be so bold and go to Songshan alone, his heart tugged, in the final analysis, it was all poor at home.

"Go, when?" His family still owes debts, how can he have money to pay off his debts if he doesn't go?

Li Qingling thought for a while, "Let's go two days, I only came back last night, let me rest for two days." "Her body is too weak, if she doesn't rest well and is tired, it will be a heavy blow to this already stormy home.

Liu Zhimo hummed and asked some more things about Songshan, Li Qingling said them one by one, and he left the Li family with a good idea.

As soon as Liu Zhimo left, Zhao said worriedly, "Xiaoling, my mother doesn't approve of you going again, there is still food at home, and you can last until the autumn harvest." ”

That Songshan is so easy to break into, if you are not careful, there is no return, my daughter has been going for so many days, she can't sleep well for two days, she is very frightened, I am afraid that my daughter will not come back.

This time, she really didn't want her daughter to go again.

Glancing at Zhao's stomach, Li Qingling bit his lower lip, shook his head and refused, "Mother, I'm going, I always have to find a way to live, relying on our family's thin field, it's really not good." ”

In the era of relying on the sky to eat, if one day, God doesn't open his eyes and the ground is confiscated, then their family will really come to an end.

She was reborn in this small body, and she had to take on the responsibility of this body, fight for her relatives, and fight for a way to live.

"Why not? Haven't we come here like this? Zhao forced out tears, "My mother will make a little more and sell it, and I can always feed you and Xiaofeng." ”

Her husband is gone, and if she doesn't even have her eldest daughter, how will she live? She was scared for the past two days, she really didn't want to go through it again, she was really afraid.

Li Qingling lowered her head, rubbed the corners of her clothes with both hands, and felt uncomfortable in her heart, but she still had to say what she had to say.

"After paying taxes on the food at home, how much is left? Even if you drink porridge every day, it will only last for three or four months, and if the harvest is not good one day, I am afraid that you will not even have to eat porridge. This was said very heavily, so heavy that Zhao's tears couldn't stop, "Look at my brother, he is so thin and small, if he doesn't eat better, how can he grow big?" In addition, the baby in your belly is about to come out, and there is one more mouth in the house, how can the little food in the family be enough for our family of four? ”

Li Qingling sighed heavily, she was really tired, and she didn't want to argue with the Zhao family again and again about the question of whether to go or not.

But in the face of Zhao's worries, she had to say again.

"Mother, don't worry, I've been there once, and I'm familiar with the terrain there, nothing will happen." If she doesn't go into the mountains, she won't encounter large beasts, and she won't have an accident.

Zhao lay on the table and cried bitterly, Li Qingling saw it and didn't know how to comfort her.

"Sister, mother... What's wrong with my mother? Li Qingfeng heard Zhao's cry, ran in, and asked Li Qingling worriedly.

Li Qingling touched his head and smiled bitterly, not knowing what to tell him.

"You comfort your mother, let her stop crying, I'll cook."

After talking to Li Qingfeng, Li Qingling went to the kitchen, but his mood was very heavy.

She had just washed the pot absentmindedly, and just wanted to wash the rice, when she heard someone calling.

She quickly put down the pot and walked out, and when she saw that the person who came was the village chief's daughter-in-law, she smiled and called Grandma Zhou and asked her to come in and sit.

Zhou entered the courtyard, heard Zhao's cry, sighed in his heart, but handed Li Qingling a basket with a smile on his face, "There are many vegetables at home, bring some over for you to eat." ”

Li Qingling saw that the basket was filled with cabbage and beans, so she took it with a smile, "Thank you, Grandma Zhou." She took out the dishes and returned the basket to Zhou.

"You persuade your mother, don't cry, hurt your body, this day, just live it." Zhou persuaded, "There is still work waiting for the family, I'll leave first, and if there is no food at home, I'll go to grandma's house to pick it!" ”

"Thank you, Grandma Zhou, go slowly!" Li Qingling watched Zhou walk away, then turned around and went into the kitchen, looking at the dishes, his heart warmed slightly.
