Thinking of what he had just heard, the sorrow between Lu Zheng's eyebrows never dispersed.

"Zhuang Zhuang took medicine because he had a physical illness, and it was a serious illness, and he needed to be nourished with precious medicinal materials for a long time."

"What? How so, can't it? Li clearly didn't believe it.

That little guy looked a little thinner, and his face was a little paler, not like a person with a serious illness!

"Old man, I haven't asked Mianniang about this, how can I believe it!"

Lu Zheng's eyebrows twisted slightly, "This matter was said by Zhihai's daughter-in-law, it shouldn't be wrong." ”

"What did Xiang say?" Lee asked.

Lu Zheng nodded, "After Zhiqiang went back yesterday, he must have said something strong at home, and I guess Xiang also heard it, and he said it this morning." ”

Li picked up the needle and thread that had just been scattered on the table into the frame, and muttered: "Xiang is a good person, but he can't hide his words, and he shakes everything out." ”

"No, what does this have to do with Zhuang Zhuang being born to Mianniang and other men?" Li Shi picked up the needle and thread for a moment and said.

Lu Zheng glanced at the Li family, "The people in the village think that since Zhuang Zhuang needs to spend so much money to raise him, if it is not his own son, who can do this?" ”

Li Shi was speechless for a while, and after a moment of silence, he said: "If this is really the case, then we have to talk to Mianniang as soon as possible." ”

Lu Zheng sighed and nodded approvingly, "I just heard that yesterday Dr. Wu caught all some cheap medicines, and they all used eighty yuan. ”

Li's heart trembled, eighty wen!

"Our family... How much money is left? Lu Zheng paused and asked.

Li Shi stopped what he was doing and said: "Over the years, my son has been drinking medicine intermittently, and most of the money he earned has been spent on him, and later he spent a large amount of money saved in order to marry his daughter-in-law to build the current brick house. Now, there are only a few hundred Wen left at home. ”

There is no money at home, and Li has been worrying.

After Li put the sewing frame away, he said, "Old man, if there is a sick person in the family, it really can't afford to support it!" If you think about the time when Ah Xun was here before, we were tightening our belts all the time to live. Besides, Ah Xun still uses some ordinary medicinal herbs. ”

"Listen to what you just said, being strong needs to be raised with precious medicinal herbs for a long time. Precious medicinal materials, our family's current family background, it is estimated that it is not enough to buy medicine once. ”

"I like to be strong, but I can't build the whole family for him! I also feel sorry for him for having such a difficult time at a young age, but we are not bodhisattvas, how can we manage so many human sufferings. ”

Even if it's a bodhisattva, it can't be managed!

Although Li was sad in her heart, compared to the whole family, she had no choice.

Lu Zheng couldn't say a word for a long time after listening.

Strong, they can't stay.

Lu Zheng and Li sat silently in the room, but they didn't know that all their previous conversations were overheard by Zhuang Zhuang outside the door.

The little guy hung his head sadly, turned around and returned to Tang Mian's room, and took the remaining two packets of medicine with tears in his eyes.

I went to the stove room again and found a bamboo tube, washed it, stepped on a stool to open the cupboard, and poured the rest of the decoction into it.

Wiping away his tears, he walked out of the stove room, and when he walked into the courtyard, he looked at Lu Zheng and Li's room, put down the medicine bag and bamboo tube, knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times to their room.

Then he got up and walked to the door, and found that he couldn't reach the deadbolt to open the door, so he turned back and went to the courtyard to bring a bench, stepped on the bench and struggled to open the door, took something and crossed the threshold, and then turned around and closed the door.

Zhuang Zhuang reluctantly looked at the door, and finally left in tears.

He walked on the road in a daze, and he didn't know which way he should go out of the village. He didn't know where to go out of the village.

After a while, the little one stopped on the side of the road and looked, and a young man was walking towards him.

Zhuang Zhuang walked up to the young man with his little short legs, raised his little head, looked at him with a smile on his face, and asked, "Uncle, where are you going at the entrance of the village?" ”

"Whose kid are you? How come I haven't seen you. The young man who was asked for directions looked at him suspiciously.

Zhuang Zhuang lowered his head and said embarrassedly: "My family lives in the town, and I came with my father and mother, I got separated from the fun, and I wanted to wait for them at the entrance of the village." ”

"Oh, that's right. You are going in the right direction, and there is a big yellow kudzu tree one mile ahead, and there is the entrance of the village. The young man pointed ahead.

Zhuang Zhuang raised his head and smiled, "Thank you, uncle, I know." Goodbye, uncle! ”

The little one waved at the young man, wiped his sweat, and walked on.

"Little guy, your face is not very good, why don't your uncle send you over!" The young man looked at the strong back and shouted.

Zhuang Zhuang stopped, turned around and smiled brightly, "Thank you, uncle, no need, I'm fine." ”

After saying that, he turned back and continued to walk towards the entrance of the village, and after not going far, he saw several women walking in a bunch of giggling and talking, among which the woman in the flowered cloth was the loudest.

When he got closer, he heard the woman in the floral cloth dress say: "Tang Mian, this woman may have a good relationship outside, otherwise how could she even refuse Xiucai's family affairs." No, now the children are all brought back. I heard that the child was sick, and it cost a lot of money to raise the child. If this wasn't good for the outside, would she be willing? ”

Strong footsteps, what they said Tang Mian, is it an aunt?

He had heard his grandfather and grandmother call him Aunt Mianniang before, were they the same person?

Is it him who is talking about a sick child?

"Okay, Mianniang is well-behaved on weekdays, filial piety to her in-laws, good things are completely gone, don't ruin her reputation. You, you are jealous of her good-looking, and you are comfortable when you say two words to her. An old woman next to her shook her head and said disapprovingly.

The woman pouted, "Aunt Fang, who is jealous...."

"Ahh Where did the little ghost come from, let go. After Zhuang Zhuang was sure that the woman in the cloth was talking about his aunt, he rushed over like a little beast, grabbed the woman's leg and bit it hard.

The woman let go, but instead of letting go, the little one bit harder. The woman's anger rose and she lifted the strong man away.

Zhuang Zhuang was lifted to the ground and fell to the ground, subconsciously stretched out his palm to support the ground, his palm was scratched by a sharp stone, and the medicine bag and decoction brought out were also scattered on the ground.

The woman found that it was a child she had never seen before, and she yelled in a vicious voice, "You are a broken child, you are sick." ”

"You speak ill of your aunt." Although Zhuang Zhuang was weak at this time, he still glared at the woman fiercely.

"Where's the little brat, who said bad things about your aunt, who is your aunt?" The woman was very annoyed when she was bitten by a small broken child for no reason.

"Ouch! Why is this child's face so ugly! I said Chen, this kid shouldn't have been broken by you, right? Another woman next to her spoke up.

Chen panicked for a moment, looked at the strong face, and sighed in his heart, how could this broken child's face be as white as a ghost.

"Oops! It was bleeding, and the boy's hand was bleeding a lot. ”
