Mrs. Li was lying on the low couch mournfully, and the bridal grandmother beside her was carefully holding the medicine bowl and waiting for her to drink the medicine.

After the Li house was sold, they had no place to stay, and the family simply squeezed to the Li ancestral hall, fortunately, Li Guhai had spent a lot of money to repair the ancestral hall, and now they are in trouble to temporarily live in Panhuan, and the other clan elders are not good to say anything.

After all, the ancestral hall is not as spacious as Li's house, and a total of three empty rooms have been vacated, and now Mrs. Li and Li Guhai have one, Li Bohu has one for recuperating from injuries, and Li Pearl and Mrs. Li's two dowry mothers have one.

Mrs. Li has only one bed in this room, and Li Guhai, who had a stroke, occupies it, and Mrs. Li can only sleep on the low couch aggrievedly.

On the second day, he was sick, and this disease was more than a month, but it was not good, and it would have taken off a layer of flesh, and the eye sockets would be deeply sunken, and he would lose his form and spirit, and he couldn't even lift his arms, where was the original round and bright.

"Hualien, hasn't Cuiping come back yet?" Mrs. Li held her breath and asked with a faint breath.

Hualien and Cui Ping are the names of Mrs. Li's two wedding grandmothers, and in the morning Mrs. Li said that she was bitter in her mouth and couldn't drink white porridge, so she wanted to drink a bowl of bird's nest stewed pear, so she asked Cui Mama to buy it.

When they were driven out, in addition to secretly hiding some small items and jewelry, there was no silver money, the medicine money of Li Bohu, Li Guhai and Mrs. Li, and the family's use had already pawned everything that could be sold.

Mrs. Li asked Mama Cui to go to her mother's house, and asked her brother to borrow some money first, her mother's surname is Zhang, just a brother, over the years, she has not helped her mother's family, and there should still be a bird's nest money.

"Hualien, Cuiping will come back in a while and let her go to Babaozhai to buy an Arhat bed and Babaosi quilt back, this low couch can fall to the ground when she turns over, and it is hard, and I don't have a comfortable place on my body."

Thinking of her grievances, Mrs. Li's tears were like bursting rivers.

Mama Hua frowned, her own young lady has changed everything over the years, from the girl to the present, the only thing that has not changed is that she has never done anything.

I was bored for a while, but I still comforted on my face, "I guess the fifth aunt should reply in a few days, and then Yao will always come out and see if they don't honestly spit out what they eat." ”

"Uh-huh, those robbers! Oh my dowry! Robbers...... "Mrs. Li thought of the treasures she had worked so hard to save, and of the jewels and silks in her private vault......

"Madam, I'll go see if Cui Ping has come back!" Mama Hua interrupted Mrs. Li's crying.

"Well, tell Cui Ping that the golden silk quilt will be six or seven catties." Mrs. Li sobbed and instructed.

Before Mama Hua got up, Li Pearl opened the curtain with a straight face and came in, sitting on the only round stool in the room with a sassy face, seeing that Mrs. Li was still sobbing and choking, "hum", and turned her back to Mrs. Li with a gloomy face.

"My pearl, who annoyed you!?" Mrs. Li finally struggled out of her tears and asked her young daughter with concern.

Li Pearl was dressed in gray old clothes, and there was not even a silver hairpin on her head, which was very different from the previous jewelry.

"I've eaten gruel and pickles for three days, and the birds have faded out of my mouth." Li Zhuzhu's voice was not loud, and she deliberately glanced at Mama Hua when she spoke, and when she saw that Mama Hua did not react, she said aggrievedly,

"My mother doesn't know, the porridge can be reflected, and the ...... is not full at all" After saying that, tears began to roll in her eyes.

When Mrs. Li heard this, she turned her head and asked Mama Hua, "Hualien, what's going on?!" "I remember that three days ago, I took a pair of gold earrings for Mama Hua to take them, is it that my illness is even the Mama who has followed me for decades......

Mama Hua looked at the couple angrily, "Madam, we didn't have a penny on us when we came out, these days the uncle and Mrs. have been on credit at the pharmacy for the medicine money, and the pharmacy has come to ask for the medicine money a few times, and even the lady's medicine will be cut off." ”

After hearing this, Mrs. Li bowed her head and was silent, as if there was such a thing, how could she forget about her illness.

"Madame's gold earrings are six taels of silver, that is, the price given by the shopkeeper for the sake of the same clan as the master!" Mama Hua was bored in her heart, and her tone was unconsciously raised.

When Mrs. Li heard that there were six taels of silver, her face was overjoyed, and she only heard Mama Hua continue without hurrying,

"The doctor's visit fee at the pharmacy and the medicine money owed, this sum alone has been repaid three or four dollars, and the young lady took a box of fat powder in the Splendid Bureau, and it was three taels of silver,"

Mama Hua paused, glanced at Li Pearl coldly, and Li Pearl shrank her neck weakly and kept silent.

Mrs. Li glanced at her weak-hearted daughter, and said bitterly in her mouth, "Zhu'er is now the time to dress up with a long body, and fat powder is not good." ”

"Madam, now we still owe four coins of silver to the Splendid Bureau, the master's and the uncle's medicine was broken yesterday, if the items are confiscated again, the lady's medicine will be broken in a few days." Mama Hua added coldly.

Six taels of silver is gone, the medicine is about to be broken, Mrs. Li's mind is full of these two sentences, and she immediately has a seizure, "My life!" It's so bitter! ……”

Mama Hua twisted her eyebrows and couldn't break her socks to plug her mouth, so she could only stare fiercely, like Li Pearl on the stool shrunk like a quail,

I have quenched my heart countless times, three taels of silver fat powder?! I can't eat, and I'm still poor, so who will I show if I settle down and apply grease and powder!?

Li Pearl didn't dare to speak, and her aggrieved head was about to shrink to her chest.

Mrs. Li's crying cry is really high-pitched, Li Bohu next door can walk on the ground these days, he will listen to the movement next door, and come over with his support for the wall.

"Enough crying! Howling like a dead man all day long! As soon as Li Bohu came in, he yelled at Mrs. Li, but he had just recovered from a serious illness, and his physical strength was still weak, not to mention the lack of qi in his voice, and there was a sharp edge!

When Mrs. Li heard her son yelling at her, she was stunned, her baby son who was conceived in October has always been knowledgeable and reasonable, abiding by honesty and filial piety, always respecting herself, and never disobeying herself, this is enchanted? !

Li Guhai, who was paralyzed on the bed and was already noisy by Mrs. Li, had a splitting headache, couldn't speak, and was powerless to shake up, heard the sentence "Dead man!" His eyes were round, his face was purple and his whole body began to tremble.

"Bang~Bang!" Li Guhai fell from the bed, fell to the ground, and hit his head on the spittoon at the head of the bed, "Gollum~" After the spittoon was overturned, the filth inside was scattered on the ground along with the flipped spittoon.

All kinds of strange smells hit his face, this fall, Li Guhai was incontinent again! There was a murky pool of water beneath him.
