"Mother-in-law, mother-in-law, I'm here."

"Pihou, climbed over the wall again."

Ever since Grandma Meng relented that day, Li Man has been going to her mother-in-law's house for a walk basically every day, either to deliver some food or to help with some work.

Grandma Meng took out a medical book from nowhere and asked Li Man to memorize it. During this period, Li Man did not show his superb medical skills, and Grandma Meng only regarded the child as talented.

"Mother-in-law, do you know how to make winter clothes?"

"Yes, girl Man, don't you have any winter clothes? Let your mother-in-law find you some good cotton and make you a dress with flowers."

Hearing this, Li Man felt a sore nose immediately. Where could an old lady living alone get cotton? She would have to take apart her clothes or exchange them with grain for the winter.

"Mother-in-law, I'm telling you, my parents didn't tell me, so you kept it a secret for me. I went to town to help a well-connected woman. I can get cotton from her, all new cotton. I just have to go to Lao Wu Tou to play it."

Old Wu Tou is Wu Lianzi's uncle and grandfather, and he has played cotton all his life.

"My mother-in-law, I already told her that, given my status, you know, if I play so much cotton, someone will definitely look for trouble."

"Just say you played it for me, and these people won't try to steal things from me."

Li Man was delighted when he heard that there was some elastic cotton in the space, but there had to be a reason to take it out. When Grandma Meng asked, she would take out some of it, play it and bring it directly to her mother-in-law.

Early the next morning, Li Man went to Lao Wutou's house with nearly a hundred kilograms of cotton.

"Grandpa Wu, let me play cotton. When will I be able to play well?"

Old Wu was shocked when he looked at this large pile of cotton. Cotton was in short supply, and it took a lot of effort to get ten or twenty kilograms of cotton. How could it not be surprising that this little girl brought nearly a hundred kilograms of cotton in one go?

"It's going to take you all day anyway. If you're not in a hurry, you can get it tomorrow."

"I'll wait here. After I finish playing, I'll take it away."

"Hey, I can still play less for you."

"Grandpa Wu, you have a good character. I'm not afraid. I'm afraid that other people playing cotton will be jealous and secretly pull some out for me. I am playing for a wealthy family in the town. If the cotton is short, they will come to us." what to do."

Although Granny Meng said that she should blame the matter on her, how could she, an old lady, get so much cotton? No matter who she was, no one would investigate anyway. If someone did, it would be up to Lao Hei and his wife.

"You can wait if you want."

"Oh, this cotton is so good. I can give you some if you want."

Li Man looked up and saw that it was Mao Xiaoying's mother. They both had the same virtues: they couldn't do anything well, they didn't eat enough, and they were petty and loved to take advantage.

Seeing that those big claws were about to grab the cotton, Li Man didn't even think about it. He picked up a bamboo stick nearby and hit it.

"You little hooves, you dare to hit me. Why, this cotton belongs to your family. With your status as a cowshed, you still dare to attack me. I will kill you little hooves."

Seeing that Aunt Mao's big slap was about to hit Li Man's face, the little girl dwarfed and the big slap missed her. Aunt Mao fell to the ground due to her inertia.

"Come on, people, Aunt Mao is beating someone, Aunt Mao is robbing someone, help, Aunt Mao is robbing someone."

As winter approaches, everyone has their free time. When they hear the noise, they all run to Old Wu’s house to watch the fun.

Seeing that the people were coming, Li Man cried and hid.

"Uncle and aunt, help me. I'm helping a wealthy family in town play cotton. Aunt Mao comes up and wants to snatch it away. If the cotton is missing, they won't let us go."

At this time, the village chief also came to the door and was confused when he heard Li Man's cry.

"Old Mao's family, please calm down. Girl Man, please tell me clearly what's going on."

When Aunt Mao saw the village chief approaching, she stopped and stared at Li Man while breathing heavily.

"Uncle Village Chief, I accidentally saved the daughter-in-law of a wealthy family when I went to town. They knew that I lived in a cowshed, so they wanted to help me and asked me to help play cotton. I thought that Grandpa Wu in our village has the best craftsmanship. So I agreed, I was just talking about it, Aunt Mao just came and wanted to rob me, if there is less, they will definitely have to report it to the police, this is robbery."

Aunt Mao was immediately confused when she heard the report to the police. Many people were interested in the cotton but did not dare to say anything when they heard it was robbery.

"Old Mao's family, get back here quickly. If you dare to make trouble again, I will tie you up and send you to the police. You will be dispersed. What do you want to see?"

The spectators and troublemakers all left, and the village chief comforted Li Man before leaving.

"Uncle village chief, that family has connections."

When the village chief heard this, he knew that Li Man wanted to help him. It was winter and everyone was short of cotton.

"Hey, good boy, if it's convenient, help me get some. I'll give you the extra money."

Li Man nodded in agreement. This is nothing to worry about. There is nothing else in the space. These things only matter.
