Since Li Houzhong gambled and sold women, he couldn't hold his head up in the Li family. During that time, the Liu family cried and scolded him for being a person who deserved a thousand cuts, and his eldest brother and third brother didn't give him a good face, let alone the eldest son who was about to discuss marriage at that time and the second son who had grown into a young man. Since then, his status in the Li family can be said to be the lowest, and Liu said that he didn't dare to reply when he scolded him, but he himself felt that he was not a thing.

But there's a good thing about it. Since then, Li Houzhong has changed the problem of good gambling, and concentrated on picking up the one-third of an acre of land at home, and the family has been peaceful in a few years, and the Liu family has less resentment towards him.

Now that his daughter is back, he thinks that he wants to make his daughter live well no matter what, so as to make up for the debt to his daughter.

Li Fei listened to his mother's words and did not delay, and immediately ran out of the door with a blanket, Zhang called out to his mother-in-law, and saw her father-in-law with his head shrunk and leading the mule to follow behind, and called his father-in-law in a low voice.

Liu entered the hall and asked where Li Xin was, and Zhang hurriedly said, "My sister is lying in my room." Jiang looked at his mother-in-law's face and whispered, "I cleaned up the West House yesterday, is it feasible for my sister to live in the West House?" ”

Liu snorted, turned around and went into Li Fei's house to see his daughter.

The Li family is a standard farmhouse with a total of four rooms. The main house where Li Lao Er and Liu live, there is a room on the east and west sides, Li Dalang lives in the east house, and Li Erlang lives in the west house. Li Sanlang lives in a small room separated from the main house at the back of the main house. In addition, it is a hall house, which is used for entertaining guests, eating, and other trivial tasks. The West House that Jiang said was the house next to her and Li Erlang's house, and Jiang cleaned up all the things and put them in the firewood room in the backyard. Although the house is a little narrow, the current situation of the Li family can only make room for Li Xin to live in.

Li Houzhong tied the mule and entered the hall, and when he saw that the second son and second daughter-in-law were still there, he asked curtly, "Sister Xin is okay?" ”

Li Qiu said angrily: "Do you think my sister is good?" ”

Li Houzhong didn't speak, and Jiang pulled Li Qiu's sleeve. Although she also felt that her father-in-law had harmed the life of this sister-in-law who had never met, filial piety was pressed on the top of her head, and it could not be said that Erlang was not filial.

Li Houzhong put the burden on the mule on the table, sighed, didn't say anything, and went to the stove to make a fire to cook, while Zhang and Jiang were busy helping while letting their father-in-law rest.

There are only three fathers and sons left in the hall, and Li Dalang went to invite Meng Langzhong, and he will not come back for a while.

Li Ming is twelve years old this year, because of his sister's relationship, he has seen the eyes of the people in the village early, sensible and intelligent, seeing that the second brother and his father did not speak, he coughed and said: "Dad, second brother, it's good that my sister is back, everyone is a family, don't mention the past, I'm afraid my sister will be sad too......"

Li Qiu's eyes were still red, and he had the most violent temper in the Li family. Li Dalang is steady, Li Sanlang is still too young to see it, but everyone says that he has a lot of ideas. Just this Li Erlang, who is not inconspicuous on weekdays, looks like a very gentle and reserved person, and it is simply fatal to start a temper. Back then, because some people joked that her missing sister was a broken shoe kiln sister, he could pick up an iron axe and cut it at people.

Li Houzhong is sometimes afraid of this son, seeing that the younger son spoke, he glanced at the second son, and said: "Sister Xin is back, it is a certain ...... to take care of her."

"How many more years can you take care of your sister?"

Li Qiu didn't speak, and as soon as he spoke, he was full of anger, "The eldest brother said, the person who came to report the news said that my sister had run out of oil and had no more to live, and she wanted to be buried in the township when she came back." Now you know that you have to take care of your sister, huh? What did you do back then? If you hadn't gambled, my sister would have become what she is now? ”

This matter is a stain on Li Houzhong's life, he can't refute it, and he can't refute it, he just lowered his head, and his nose was red.

Li Qiu scolded and felt a lot of relief, and was about to say something, when Liu in the east room shouted: "Come here, Xin'er is awake." ”

The family hurriedly entered the East House, with Zhang and Jiang standing behind. Li Xin was half-lying on the bed, leaning on Liu's arms, and smiled when he saw his father and two younger brothers, and called them: "Dad, Qiuzi, Ming'er." ”

When Li Xin left home, Li Ming was young, and she was the only one in the family who called him Ming'er as an elder sister. Li Ming bit his lip, and his eyes were slightly red. Li Houzhong couldn't imagine that his daughter would recognize him and call him father, and he couldn't help but cry.

Liu called Zhang and Jiang to come forward and introduced her: "This is your eldest sister-in-law, surnamed Zhang, and that is your second brother and sister, surnamed Jiang." ”

Li Xin called her sister-in-law and younger siblings on the bed, and nodded slightly. Neither the Zhang family nor the Jiang family had seen her, and they were still worried in their hearts, for fear that she would come back after staying in that kind of place for five years and learning some bad habits, but at this time, seeing that she was gentle and polite, she also dissipated the apprehension in her heart, and stepped forward to call her sister and sister affectionately.

Li Xin looked around, didn't see her eldest brother, and asked Liu, who said that he would invite her to Langzhong. Li Xin saw that her sister-in-law was also there, and she didn't insist that her eldest brother be present, so she nodded and asked her about her baggage.

Li Ming hurriedly went to the hall to bring her baggage, Li Xin stood up and sat down, untied the baggage, spread out everything, took a breath and said: "Dad, mother, I don't know how many days I have left, whether this illness is good or not, God has the final say." If I'm really bad, I can't take these things with me, so I just leave them for my father and mother and my brothers and brothers now, which can be regarded as a thought, which can help the family some. ”

Liu Shi held her hand, and his voice was astringent, "I just went home, what do you say about ...... frustration?"

"I know my body, Mother Yan is not an unreasonable person, these are my own private rooms, I took them away, and Mother Yan didn't say anything else." Li Xin crossed over and didn't know if his dilapidated body could survive, these things were originally what the original owner wanted to redeem himself, but now that he has paid the redeemed silver, he has a surplus and returned to the village after eliminating his lowly status, and the original owner should also want to leave things at home.

As he spoke, he took five half-new tulle clothes from his baggage, the material was much better than the linen worn by the people in the village, and it was smooth to the touch, but the color was brighter. Li Xin took a blue one and a dark red one to Zhang's family, and said, "Sister-in-law, you keep these two pieces, wear them yourself or go to the pawn shop to sell them, and they can be regarded as a meeting gift from your sister." ”

Zhang hurriedly took it, and he was full of emotion for a while, and he felt a little sorry for his man's sister.

Li Xin took another pale yellow and a pink one to the Jiang family, and said, "This is for the second brother and sister, and it is the same as the eldest sister-in-law, whether you wear it yourself or sell it, it is up to the second brother and sister." ”

Jiang also took it, and after thanking him, he was next to Li Erlang, and his eyes became red with his man.

The rest of the one was plain white, and the white was really white, as if it could still glow. Li Xin touched the clothes, knowing that this was the original owner's favorite, she couldn't help sighing, and handed the clothes to Liu, "Mother, you take this clothes, this is my favorite, but I have worn it three times." If you want to keep it, wait for the third brother to marry a daughter-in-law and give it to the third brother and sister, if you don't want to keep it, you can also use it as a few dollars. ”

Liu whimpered and hugged his clothes in his arms, unable to speak. Li Houzhong squatted on the ground and leaned on the edge of the bed, his hands covering his head and shaking.

In the past, Liu scolded him for doing evil, but he didn't think there was anything wrong with this scolding. Isn't it evil to see yourself now? is a good girl, born because he became like this......

Li Ming sat next to Li Xin, holding Li Xin's hand, but he couldn't say anything at this time.

"Don't do that, I'm glad I'm back." Li Xin patted Li Ming's hand and smiled slightly: "Dad, mother, you guys make me uncomfortable like this, and I don't want to see everyone crying when I come back." ”

Liu wiped his tears, nodded and said, "Mother listens to you, don't cry." ”

Li Xin nodded, "I wore these five clothes in private, and the maids around me saw them at that time, and the others didn't see them, so they weren't dirty things." ”

The Zhang family and the Jiang family understood that Li Xin was afraid that they would dislike the things that were worn by the women of the Qinglou, and they looked down on these clothes. Zhang immediately said: "What my sister gave must be a good thing, nothing dirty or dirty." Jiang also chimed in.

Li Xin smiled, took a pure gold bracelet from the baggage and handed it to Zhang, a jade wrench finger to Jiang, and a pearl that looked small but round and shiny and handed it to Li Ming. These were all given by the merchant who wrapped her. After handing over the things, he didn't speak, and continued to take things out of his baggage. When he opened a small cloth bag, there were five silver ingots, each weighing five taels. Such a sum of money is enough for the family to eat for two or three years.

Li Xin gave Zhang, Li Erlang, and Li Sanlang a silver ingot, and said, "This is for my brother and younger brothers, the eldest brother is not here, so the sister-in-law will help the eldest brother put it away." That's the little thing I've saved the most over the years. As he spoke, he handed the remaining two silver ingots to Liu, "Mother, don't scold your father in the future, your father also knows that he is wrong, and he has quit gambling, and I am also back, so let's live a good life." You have the money. ”

Li Houzhong raised his head, his face was full of tears, "Girl, my father is sorry for you......"

"It's good that my father can change it for the better, the son doesn't say anything about the father, don't say this in the future."

After saying some words, Li Xin also felt tired, leaned back into Liu's arms, and fell asleep again in a daze.

By the time Li Fei invited Meng Langzhong, it was already dark. Liu was afraid that Li Xin would be hungry, so the family simmered Li Xin's share all the time after eating, for fear that she would be hungry and unable to eat hot rice after she got up.

Meng Lang's traditional Chinese medicine skills are good, and the people in Lijia Village are willing to see him, because he doesn't collect much money, and the medicine is also prescribed, so he won't trick people, and the people in the village can still have a relationship with him, that is, the Li Fei brothers can call him uncle. It's just that others are a little lazy, and they don't want to move when they are far away, and most people can only go to the door by themselves to see a doctor.

Li Fei worked hard to invite him to the door, and after taking Li Xin's pulse, Meng Langzhong groaned and said: "It seems that the oil is running out and the lamp is dry, but in fact, it is not the case, there is a breath of qi to support, and he can't die for the time being." ”

Liu has some respect for this kind of skilled craftsman, and after hearing this, he hurriedly asked respectfully: "That...... Will Xin'er survive? ”

"If you can live, take more care, take some medicine to make up for it, and if you take care of it well, you can raise it in a month or two."

The whole family was overjoyed when they heard this, and Liu stumbled again: "But...... Someone said before that my daughter doesn't have many days to ......"

Meng Langzhong also knew a little about the Li family, and he rolled Li Xin's eyelids carefully, and took the pulse for a long time, and then said: "This girl is also fateful, she has survived, and her life is not in danger." ”

Li Houzhong thanked Meng Langzhong gratefully, and took a basket of eggs and a piece of pork leg meat to bring him. Liu instructed Li Ming to send Meng Langzhong, and by the way, he grabbed the medicine and came back, and Li Ming went upside down.

Li Xin didn't know that her soul had adapted to the body of the original owner, neutralized in twos and twos, and the disease had also recovered, and now she was a real rebirth.
