Chapter 41: Mistakes
Xie Wanjun, an innocent girl, was powerless to resist under the grace of Old Lady Su, and she couldn't say anything before she could say a few words.
After the daughter-in-law and her mother-in-law discussed the issue of her grandson for a while, Xie Wanjun finally thought of a reason to escape from her mother-in-law's clutches.
"Yes, yes!" Xie Wanjun hurriedly said to her mother-in-law who was trying to speak again: "Sheep! I haven't seen those sheep yet! Mother-in-law, you know that they are all so small and so small lambs, I can't take care of them! ”
“…… Well, let's go check it out first, after all, sheep are also very important. Mrs. Su put on a rather regretful expression and let her daughter-in-law go.
Xie Wanjun immediately escaped from Mrs. Su's sight after being released from the old man's release. She brought up the lamb at this time, partly to prevaricate her mother-in-law's conversation about the succession, and partly because she was really worried about the young lambs, who were still very young.
After all, the Zhao family had made trouble for her before, and she was afraid that the Zhao family would be sly and take advantage of her to stop doing things to the lambs.
Xie Wanjun was still very fast when she tried to run, so after a while, she ran to the sheepfold. When she stopped in the pen, the young sheep were staying quietly in the pen more than ever, and a few of them were gathering together, not knowing what they were doing. Xie Wanjun sometimes wondered if their reaction meant that they were talking about a language that only the lambs themselves could understand.
The others, who looked quieter, were scattering and quietly looking into the distance. Maybe it's looking at the scenery to cultivate sentiment or something-Xie Wanjun guessed so.
What a peaceful sight.
"It seems that she hasn't had time to use any crooked brains yet......" Xie Wanjun breathed a sigh of relief, and the heart she was worried about just now was also relaxed.
"Alright. Once you're sure you're safe, it's time to do something else. Xie Wanjun stretched her waist and pulled herself together and went into a haystack next to her.
“…… It's well preserved, and the freshness is fine. Xie Wanjun lifted the lid on the bucket containing goat's milk, and after confirming the color and taste, she showed a satisfied look.
Although it was left over from yesterday, the goat milk brought by Xie Wanjun was still very delicious food for the hungry lambs.
After smelling the fishy smell of goat milk, but also being able to appreciate how high its nutritional value is, the young sheep who had just said nothing about Xie Wanjun's arrival shook their ears, and then turned their eyes to Xie Wanjun.
Xie Wanjun carefully put the goat's milk where the young sheep could go, and then made a harmless expression and stayed away from the young sheep.
Her series of actions succeeded in relaxing the vigilance of the young sheep. After seeing that the humans in front of them did not intend to attack, the young sheep came over one by one, buried their heads in the goat's milk and began to eat.
The scene of a toddler eating always brings out the motherhood of the women. When she saw that none of the young sheep came over and happily carried out the actions necessary for the creature to ingest food, her heart involuntarily became a little itchy, as if she saw her future child eating-
"How did I come up with such a thing?" Xie Wanjun patted her face again: "Really, I must have been accidentally brainwashed by my mother-in-law." ”
After drinking the goat's milk, the young sheep began to get a little restless. Xie Wanjun looked at their appearance and felt that it would definitely not work to let them go on like this, so he lowered his voice and began to comfort them. Considering that they could not understand their own words, she also learned the slender and gentle cries of the ewes to the young sheep.
Of course, the lambs couldn't understand what she was calling, but the soothing emotions in her cry probably did reach the lambs, so they gradually quieted down and began to look at Xie Wanjun with calm and moist eyes.
"Cut ......!"
Picking up a piece of firewood with vicious force and throwing it into the fire, watching the flames scorching the fragile wood, and the sawdust being burned into a fiery red light, Zhao always felt that his anger was burning more and more like the flame of the decoction.
"It's just a fool, it's just a dementia, how dare you, how dare you ...... me like this!" Zhao gritted his teeth and said this, his voice full of hatred for Xie Wanjun.
Originally, she was dissatisfied with this woman, and usually Mrs. Su was quite partial to her, which made her even more jealous. And now Mrs. Su actually used the excuse of "Wanjun went out and needed to rest when she was tired" to let that stupid woman rest, but let herself work!
"One by one, they're all bastards! You see that I'm a bully to call me, I'm a soft persimmon in your eyes, right? Zhao scolded as he picked up a piece of firewood on the side, and then slammed it on the ground in frustration.
"Damn! Damn, damn it! This stinks*! One day I'm going to skin you and chop you up to feed the pigs!" ”
Of course, no matter how hard he scolded, the Zhao family didn't have the courage to really do it. Not to mention the cruel abuse of human skinning, which is beyond the ability of ordinary people, according to the market that Zhao has seen, it is estimated that the butcher will scare her out if he slaughters a pig in front of her.
However, anyone can take advantage of their tongues, and Zhao's scolding is so ugly now, but it is just to vent the anger in his heart.
Yet she delayed something more important because of such inconsequential matters.
When he used the firewood as Xie Wanjun's constant kicking, a trace of burnt smell quietly wafted out of the decoction vessel.
If you notice it now, this medicine can actually be saved. But looking at Zhao's appearance, I'm afraid she has completely fallen silent to the point of anger. So when she smelled the strong smell of burnt paste and panicked to see the medicine, the medicine had been completely boiled.
"What kind of smell is this, it smells so bad...... Zhao shrugged her nose in thought, and then the moment she saw the medicine jar, her face turned pale.
She ran to pinch the lid of the medicine jar, but was so hot that she let go of her hand.
When she was stunned for a while, she remembered to wrap her hand in a towel on the side and open the medicine jar, which looked like it had been blackened.
The strong and balanced taste that could be asked through the jar came into Zhao's nose, and her expression became very ugly.
With trembling hands, she lifted the lid and looked into the medicine jar. Although it was covered in smoke and it was impossible to see the specific face of the medicine, I could vaguely see a puddle of black and mushy things that could not be regarded as medicine at all waiting quietly in the medicine jar.
The original bitter aroma of traditional Chinese medicine is mixed with a burnt smell, which stimulates people's sense of smell.
Su Dong, who had just come in, couldn't help but cover his mouth and nose, and said with a look of disgust: "Why do the women's family talk so much, what do you think the medicine has been boiled into by you?" ”
It is true that most of the medicine in the pot has been boiled dry and has become viscous, and the residue at the bottom of the pot has become a ball of sticky, exuding a peculiar smell.
"Brother and sister, I'm afraid this pot of medicine can't be used." Su Qing also said at this time, his brows furrowed slightly, he has always been kind, it is rare to point out someone's problems so bluntly.
Zhao's face was red and white for a while, he couldn't speak, but he felt wronged in his heart, and he caught a glimpse of a figure standing aside from the corner of his eye, and immediately accused: "It's not because of her!" ”
Everyone looked at it, Xie Wanjun, who was pointed out, was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect that Zhao would suddenly blame, and opened his mouth to say something, but before the words came out, someone grabbed it first.
"Why do you blame your sister-in-law for coming, aren't you boiling this medicine?" Su Dong had an expression of hatred on his face, as if he was angry that his woman not only did not admit her mistakes, but also pushed it on others.
After all, everyone saw that the Zhao family had been counting Xie Wanjun, and even forgot that the medicine was still boiling on the fire, and Xie Wanjun was not responsible for decocting the medicine, but it was forcibly pulled in at this time, which was really wronged.
Seeing that Su Dong was faintly angry, Su Qing pulled and said, "Don't be angry, you can't blame your brothers and sisters for this." His face was a little serious.
Su Qing thought in his heart, although he was the head of the family and took care of everything steadily, he also cherished his own wife. It doesn't matter if the lady is counted down by the Zhao family, he is embarrassed to meddle in the affairs between women, but the Zhao family blames Xie Wanjun, is this a bit excessive.
He is the head of the family and a man, and he is naturally uncomfortable when he sees the lady who is reluctant to bump and scold him as a treasure. He Su Qing can be wronged, but Xie Wanjun can't be bullied by others casually!
Su Qing was entangled in her heart, but she was patted on the shoulder. He turned his head and saw that Xie Wanjun didn't know when he was standing behind him, with a pair of watery eyes with a smile, as if to comfort her that she was okay.
Seeing Xie Wanjun smiling so well, Su Qing's mind was blank, and he didn't come back to his senses for a long time, but Xie Wanjun had already walked out.
"Brother and sister, I'm sorry, it's all my fault." Xie Wanjun's voice was soft, and she blamed herself for all the faults.
Seeing Xie Wanjun's weakness, Zhao's face showed a smug expression, and the weakened arrogance grew again. She raised her chin, looking like "I have a lot of adults, I don't care about you", waiting for Xie Wanjun's next words.
"I know I'm stupid and can't do anything, so my siblings don't like me." Xie Wanjun said earnestly, seeing the look of recognition in Zhao's eyes, she stopped and smiled apologetically.
Su Qing couldn't listen to it anymore, and it was difficult to refute Zhao's face, standing there with a sinking face, and Su Dong was silent.
The smell of burnt food in the room was so strong that it seemed to drip out. I only heard Xie Wanjun continue: "My younger brother and sister don't like me, and I admit it, but after all, this is the medicine that the old lady drinks, have you thought about it, brother and sister, what if you delay the old lady's illness?" ”
Xie Wanjun said the back, his face became more and more serious, and when Zhao heard this, he was like a cat that had been bitten by a snake, and he was so excited that he almost jumped up.
