When Chen Cihai walked into Chen Lihai's house, a strange smell went straight to his nose.

He frowned slightly, only to realize that the room was a strange mess, and the floor was full of wood, bamboo strips, and some half-finished products, and sawdust.

The tools were also thrown in a corner, and the quilts on the bed were piled up in the corner, and a pair of clothes were thrown on the side.

The wardrobe also has open doors, and the inside is messy and unsightly.

On the day of the wedding with the two, Wang Taoqing's clean and tidy appearance can be described as very different.

Chen Lihai borrowed some candlelight and sat on the ground weaving bamboo strips, Chen Cihai knew that his younger brother was difficult to be distracted when he was doing things, and he was able to respond to let him come in just now, which was already very good.

So he stood aside, waiting patiently, who would have thought that before Chen Lihai finished making the bamboo strips, Peng walked in, still holding two bowls of steaming medicine in his hands.

The medicine was hot, she quickly put it down, touched her ears, and then put on a face, and reluctantly shouted to Chen Cihai, "Uncle."

Chen Cihai didn't notice Peng's face, and felt a little uncomfortable, but he didn't show anything on his face, and he pulled out a smile.

The afterglow fell on the two bowls of medicine, which were dark and black, as if there was really a fishy smell.

He frowned, just in time to see Chen Lihai finish the work in his hand, and immediately said, "Lihai, are you uncomfortable?"

He is the eldest brother, and it is normal for him to care about his younger brother.

It's just that Chen Lihai raised his head blankly, and subconsciously said, "No."

"Then why is it still boiled?"

Chen Lihai followed his brother's line of sight, and sure enough, there were two bowls of black medicine.

He scratched his head and looked at Peng with some puzzlement, as if waiting for her answer.

If it was other tonics, or there was only Chen Lihai in the house, Peng's would have said it directly, but there was still a Chen Cihai in the house, and this medicine was a miracle medicine for giving birth to a male baby.

Peng opened his mouth, only to feel that his face was a little unbearable, and said angrily:

"It's just a tonic that my mother is looking for, it's only good for the body, not harmful."

Chen Lihai didn't think much about it, he just thought it was his mother-in-law's thoughts.

Chen Cihai felt that something was wrong, the second child is so good, what do you do with tonics?

Besides, if people really have problems, then they have to go to the doctor and treat the symptoms, this tonic is not something that can be eaten blindly.

If it was someone else, he would definitely not care, but this is his own brother, Chen Cihai naturally wants to remind him.

"Second brother, this tonic can't be eaten indiscriminately, it's best to ask Dr. Wang to take a look first, so as not to overdo it and backfire."

This makes sense, and Chen Lihai listened to it.

But Peng's on the side felt that there was something in Chen Cihai's words, and it was clear that he was squeezing her, saying that she was harming people with medicine.

Peng's heart was angry, he picked up the bowl and drank the medicine in one go.

The bitter taste surged up from his stomach, and Peng Shi struggled with all his strength to control his expression and put the bowl down.

With a bang, Peng's yin and yang looked at the two brothers strangely, and said, "It's just some ordinary tonics, what's there to ask for a doctor, it's really... Kindness is like a donkey's liver and lungs."

Peng's straightforward words made the look on Chen Cihai's face a little ugly.

Chen Lihai's face was also a little unbearable, in the end, he was his own eldest brother, but he was dumped by his own daughter-in-law.

….

He glared at Peng angrily, and then looked at Chen Cihai with a slight apology.

"Big brother, Peng's words are brainless, don't be weird."

Chen Cihai tugged at the corners of his mouth, didn't say anything more, just patted Chen Lihai's shoulder and left the room.

The candlelight stretched his shadow very long, Chen Lihai looked at Chen Cihai's back, and only felt that this back was quite lonely.

It seems that since he got married, he and his eldest brother...

No, not only the eldest brother, but everyone in the family...

He and everyone in his family are no longer as close as they used to be...

Chen Lihai realized this, and felt a little uncomfortable, he didn't understand, why

How so?

Peng didn't know what her husband was thinking, she breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that she had finally driven the uncle away.

Peng looked good when he laughed, with crooked eyes and two tiger teeth.

Chen Lihai was captured by her smile, and he felt that such a good-looking person who could smile must not be much worse in character.

It's just that when Peng smiled again, and when he walked towards him with the medicine, he actually had a sense of disgust, and even felt that this smile was quite hypocritical.

Chen Lihai shook his head slightly, defining this feeling as an illusion.

"Xianggong, this medicine has no effect when it is cold, so drink it quickly."

"What the hell is this?"

Chen Lihai frowned, although he was silent, he was not a fool.

If it is really a tonic, according to Peng's temperament, it should be a big fuss, instead of drinking the medicine as if he was angry, and seeing his eldest brother leaving, he also showed a relieved look.

Peng's eyes flashed slightly, put down the bowl and closed the door tightly, then approached Chen Lihai's side and whispered to him about the efficacy of this medicine.

"My mother said that she took this medicine before she was pregnant with my brother.

Xianggong, think about it, when the time comes, I will give birth to a big fat boy for you, so that he can also learn carpentry with you, and the son will inherit his father's business..."

Peng's cleverness is still there, but it has never been used in the right place.

And Chen Lihai, who is silent and honest on weekdays, is even more inferior in his heart.

He always felt that his eldest brother was better than him, taller than him, and people could talk, and the people in the village praised him when they saw him...

In short, the eldest brother is better than him everywhere.

Although he didn't say it on his face, his heart always wanted to surpass Chen Cihai, he wanted to be better than Chen Cihai...

And Peng's discovered this and tried his best to grasp it, and with the help of a bunch of military advisors in his mother's family, Chen Lihai became suspicious of Wang Taoqing.

And at this time, after listening to Peng's imagination about the future life of their husband and wife, the ghost sent the gods to serve the bowl and drink the medicine.

The medicine is really bitter, and there is a smell of blood, Chen Lihai usually works as a carpenter, and it is inevitable that he will hurt his hands, and he is extremely sensitive to this bloody smell.

This would feel the smell of blood gushing out of his throat and the tumbling stomach, and he couldn't help but regret it a little, but he drank it all...

Peng had just taken the medicine, so he naturally knew how he felt.

She didn't think much about it for a while, took out the handkerchief in her sleeve and wiped the medicine stains on Chen Lihai's mouth.

"Take this medicine this time, for the sake of my son, bear with it..."

Chen Lihai's face was distorted, and it took a long time to slow down, and his eyes fell on the handkerchief in Peng's hand, and he couldn't help frowning.

"Where's the handkerchief?"

Only then did Peng Shi react, and her heart suddenly panicked, her throat rolled, she swallowed her saliva, and casually lied.

"This... This is in the dowry that my mother gave me..."

Peng's mother gave a dowry with a box, but there were few actual things, and a winter quilt accounted for most of the box.

The rest is Peng's clothes, a wooden comb, a few wooden hairpins... In short, there is no money.

Chen Lihai opened it and looked at it casually for a few moments, but he didn't look at it anymore, so it was not very clear whether there was a handkerchief or not.

I heard Peng say that it was in the dowry, so I didn't say anything, but I looked at it twice and felt that this handkerchief material was very good, and it seemed that what my mother said was not all right...

can be willing to use such good materials to make handkerchiefs, how can the Yue family be partial to the brother-in-law?

I like that after death, I became the cannon fodder mother of the three protagonists
