Knock knock!

"Miss Lin, my cousin-in-law asked me to bring you some food."

Chu Xiuxiu said and pushed open the door and walked in with a wooden tray with the meal that Shen Luzhu had divided for her alone.

Lin Qiuyi woke up from her dream and saw the environment in front of her, only to realize that she had escaped from the Lin family, and was taken in by a family surnamed Chu in the northernmost part of Daqian.

"Thank you, sister Chu."

After Chu Xiuxiu left, Lin Qiuyi had her first hot meal in a few days, she had silver on her, but a woman who was single and wary of everyone didn't dare to reveal a little, only by pretending to be a beggar and walking on the country road could she give her some sense of security.

The little couple who were in the courtyard next door saw Chu Xiuxiu returning, and hurriedly beckoned her to the table to start the meal, after Chu Xiuxiu sat down, she came to her cousin's side and whispered: "Sister-in-law, I just took a look at the meal when I was just delivering the meal, and the soup we sent over in the afternoon has been drunk by Miss Lin."

Maybe it's because of family factors, Chu Xiuxiu has always been a bit timid and sensitive, but a careful and kind girl, Shen Luzhu didn't have any surprise at her behavior, only smiled at her, and sandwiched some favorite dishes for her: "Sister-in-law knows, then let's wait and cook the rest of the medicine and send it to Miss Lin, so that she can get better quickly."

After dinner, the sister-in-law and sister-in-law went back to their stove room and boiled the decoction prescribed by Lang Zhong, Chu Xiuxiu did not let her sister-in-law do it, and Shen Luzhu didn't say much, just accompanied by and whispered a few words from time to time.

Lin Qiuyi had eaten dinner and was debating whether to take the initiative to find the Chu family, when she caught a glimpse of the Chu family's aunt and sister-in-law coming towards the room where she was again from the window.

"Miss Lin, this decoction was prescribed by Lang Zhong for the symptoms, saying that it was good for your recovery, so he cooked it with you."

I don't know if it's a psychological effect, after drinking a decoction in the afternoon, sleeping and eating a hot meal, Lin Qiuyi feels that her body seems to be much better, but in this situation, she can't be like before for a long time.

If you go out and freeze for two more days, I'm afraid that you will really die in some unknown place. This family surnamed Chu saw that it was safe for the time being, so Lin Qiuyi thought about discussing with the main family to see if she could recuperate here for a few more days.

"Thank you Mrs. Chu for your kindness, Qiu Yi has something to ask for, and I hope Mrs. Chu can nod and agree. I came to our line of Anxian to look for relatives, but I was empty, I am not familiar with life at the moment, and I don't know what to do next for a while, I hope Mrs. Chu can let me stay for a few more days."

Although Shen Luzhu didn't fully trust Lin Qiuyi, she couldn't just kick her out who was still weak, so she nodded and responded: "What else should I do, Miss Lin calls me Luzhu, if you haven't thought about the next step, just live at home first, Lang Zhong also said, although your body is fine, it is better to recuperate for a while."

Lin Qiuyi served the old lady in the rich merchant's mansion, and she knew that more things are better than less, and naturally she knew that she could accept a stranger like her at home, and ordinary people were afraid that they would not be willing, until she saw Shen Luzhu nodding her head in agreement, and the heart that she had been carrying was a little relieved, and she was very grateful to the other party for helping: "Then thank you Luzhu, you can rest assured that I will be in order, I will only recuperate in this house, and I won't go to places where I shouldn't go, meals and soups, if you don't mind, I can also go to the stove and cook it myself, and I'll pay it back later!"

In her own stove room, Shen Luzhu really doesn't want to be used by Lin Qiuyi, who is not familiar with her, even if she feels that the other party has no malicious intentions, she has to guard against others, and blindly being kind may harm herself: "You are a girl's family, how much can you eat, and you have to cook every day at home, and it is not difficult to bring out your share, so Miss Lin should not mention anything and return these costs."

Lin Qiuyi didn't insist on this, but just thanked the Chu family for everything she had done to her: "Then it's going to trouble you!"

"It's okay, it's not too early, Xiuxiu and I won't delay your rest."

Lin Qiuyi lived in the Chu family's old mansion like this, and only stayed in the room in the west wing on weekdays, unless necessary

I wouldn't walk around the yard, and if I hadn't seen her out of the window occasionally, I'd have forgotten that there was such a person living in this yard.

And the Chu family will never bother with anything except to send some food, clothing, decoction and medicine, which also makes Lin Qiuyi seem to be more at ease living in the West Chamber, even her own family will only care about whether she has money on her, thinking that she can be sold for a few dollars, if such an ignorant villager cares too much about her, I am afraid that it will only cause her to be more vigilant, so do not disturb each other, but both parties are comfortable.

On the twentieth day of the winter month, they couldn't go to the Qichan Temple, and the Qian family didn't want to catch up with the twenty-four temple fair to join in the fun, so they dragged it back, and at the end of November, taking advantage of Chu Li's day off, they set off early to go to the Qichan Temple, Chu Xiuxiu and Chu Li specially asked everyone in the family for a peace charm, even Shen Luzhu's belly, the fetus that was only more than seven months old, did not fall.

At the beginning of the month, the weather is getting colder and colder, and every household in the village has begun to calculate when to kill New Year's pigs and buy some New Year's goods.

This year's trading in the month of Layue, without malicious competition like Huang Liang Hu Shun and Uncle Niang, has done a lot better than the previous two years, and when it comes to the Wang family, I have to talk about the bad days of Uncle Chu's family this winter.

The deal is cut off, forget it, Chu Ren once again fell off the list, the blow to the family is huge, Wang has been sick for more than a month because of these things, and finally the whole family is just about to come out of the depressing atmosphere, there is an accident in Li's mother's family again, Li Xiucai has been paralyzed on the bed since he broke his waist, and his wife Yuan has taken care of him very carefully several times, but in the end he still failed to survive this winter, and people suddenly went in the winter months.

There is only one old mother left in the Li family, so naturally she can't rest assured that she can't say anything, so she thinks about taking her aunt Yuan to take care of her nearby, but the Wang family is the first to disagree: "Forget about raising your Li family's daughter, how can there be any reason to raise your mother!" Where is the silver? Your good father and mother deceived my family so miserable, and now I still have the face to let my family raise her, where did the face come from!"

The Li family is also surprisingly insistent on this matter, and for the first time in so many years since marrying into the Chu family, he refuted the Wang family head-on: "Auntie's words are so sad, didn't my father and mother also think about the prime minister's husband, so she kindly reminded you, if you and Daddy are unwilling to do those things about the separation of the family, which one can force you?" Over the years, my mother's family has also contributed money and effort for the sake of the father-in-law, why didn't I leave a single thought in A-Niang! What else did A-Niang say about the silver, if this was put in the past, my daughter-in-law and I would not dare to argue with A-Niang about anything, but since our family reopened this coffin shop, which one of the jobs in the shop was not done by me? If Ah Niang really wants to calculate, the money earned in the shop should also have my share, why should I serve my old and lonely Ah Niang?"

"Okay, you Li! I can see you clearly today, doing work for your own family, you can still count silver, your old Li family's daughter is really good!"

"It was A-Niang who calculated it first, and the daughter-in-law was also forced to be helpless! Xianggong, you help me say a word, don't you always talk to your classmates in the private school on weekdays, my father and mother treat you like a biological son, when Daddy is still teaching in the town, every time he comes home, he will mention it to me, saying that your son-in-law is really hard to find with a lantern, and you will keep in mind a little care for you, and always say that you want to think about their own father and mother in the future, Xianggong, you help me talk to A-Niang about it? I really can't leave my aunt alone in that courtyard!"

Chu Ren was also a little difficult to ride a tiger at this time, he did often mention his father-in-law and mother-in-law in front of his classmates to take care of him, and always said that if he was in high school in the future, he would definitely take his father-in-law and mother-in-law to his side, like his own parents, and serve them for a long time.

But those words, at that time, were just what he wanted to pass on to Li Xiucai's ears through his classmates and other gentlemen in the private school, and he ate and lived at his wife's house all the year round, so it was inevitable that some people would think that he was eating soft rice, and he needed to establish a good image of gratitude in the private school and Li Xiucai's heart to offset it.

Although Li Xiucai is no longer alive, the other people in the private school are still there, if he is not as good as his wife said at this time

My mother-in-law received a service by her side, but I am afraid that everything she bothered to manage at the beginning would become in vain, and if she didn't do it, it would directly become evidence that others said that he was a hypocrite who was inconsistent with her appearance!

After figuring out the joints, Chu Ren sighed in his heart: "Ah Niang, Li is right, my father-in-law and mother-in-law are kind to me, and I can't leave my mother-in-law behind at this time!"

Things are the same as every time before, the Wang family still can't screw their eldest son, and finally can only reluctantly take Li's aunt to their home and live together.

I thought that this matter would end like this, but who knew that after Chu Fang heard this, she ran back to her parents' house and cried, in Chu Fang's heart, the family was partial to Chu Ren, who made the family the eldest son who could read, and he was just a daughter! But now even the Li family, who she has always looked down on the most, can proudly take her own mother to her mother-in-law's house to take advantage, and there is her share of Chu Fang's land!

Li and Chu Fang made such a fuss, Wang's body just started to improve, and he was directly stroked by anger, and even took more than a month of decoction..

Grandma Chu was so sad that her mouth was full of bubbles, and Grandpa Chu was also frowning all day long since then, and there was always a feeling in the dark, as if after the separation of the family a year ago, there was no day in this family that was smooth, I just hope that God will open his eyes and not let any bad things happen to his family.
