The widowed sister-in-law is embarrassed, she criticizes the villain like he only wants to be a love

In the evening, the sky was just getting dark.

Liu Wenniang came to Qi's house with her brothers and sisters Yan Wu and Yan Shu.

"Is Sister-in-law Qi at home?"

Hearing someone shouting at the door, Mrs. Qi, who was busy in the kitchen, hurriedly came out to greet her.

After seeing the person coming, she immediately greeted him with a smile on her face.

"At home, during the day, I told the third child to take time to see if Miss Yan's condition was better. She looks much better now than she did a few days ago."

Yan Shu smiled and said, "It's much better now that I bother Aunt Qi to worry about me."

"The sun has come out these days, but the weather is colder than before. You still need to wear more clothes when going out. Come on, let's go inside quickly."

Mrs. Qi warmly invited Liu Wenniang, Yan Shu, and Yan Wu into the main room.

After they entered the house, Mrs. Qi hurriedly asked Qi Qiaolan to boil a pot of hot tea and bring it over.

The little girl immediately put down her work, turned around and ran to the kitchen.

At the same time, Li Cuiju poked her head into the hall room from time to time. She just saw that the basket Liu was carrying belonged to her family, and Yan Wu was also carrying a large basket. Could it be that he was bringing something to their family?

She got angry when she thought about this. A few days ago, her husband and the third child went shopping in the town together, and they brought back two large baskets full of goodies. As a result, they didn't even eat a bite of meat or snacks, and the old lady gave them all away. Went to the little widow next door.

If the little widow can't cure the second child's disease, wouldn't the things she gave away be in vain?

"Sister-in-law, mother asked me to boil a pot of hot tea and bring it to the house."

Li Cuiju took the teapot with a cold face and pointed at the main room and made a few babbling signs.

Since Li Cuiju couldn't speak, she relied on gestures to communicate with her family. Qi Qiaolan could roughly guess what she meant when she saw her pointing in the direction of the main room.

"What do you want to say that Sister Yan Shu came to our house?"

Li Cuiju nodded, and Qi Qiaolan said, "I should be treating my second brother."

Li Cuiju thought to herself that the Yan family was somewhat self-aware and knew that there was a return gift, otherwise it would be too ugly to look at them.

In the main room, Liu Wenniang placed the basket in her hand on the table and ordered Yan Wu to take out the contents of the basket.

"Sister, what are you doing?"

Liu Wenniang held Mrs. Qi's hand and said, "They are all homemade food, so I thought of sending them over to my sister-in-law and her family to have a taste."

Old Mrs. Qi looked at the table full of food and the three large seabass Yan Wu carried out. She suddenly knew in her heart that the Yan family had accepted the gifts they sent a few days ago and took advantage of the New Year to return gifts.

"Sister, these are all precious. We have just settled down and our hands are very tight. It's the Chinese New Year. You can take them home and eat them at home."

"There are still things at home. That day when Shu'er was sick, you went to visit. Shu'er was always thinking about it. Most of the food was made by her, and she wrapped it with her own hands and delivered it. This is also a little thought from the child, so you can accept it. Get off."

Old Mrs. Qi looked at Yan Shu with some embarrassment. She also asked Miss Yan to give gifts that day, but she accepted the gifts and received so many gifts in return.

She only took one look and knew that preparing these would take a lot of effort.

Yan Shu said: "They are just some snacks. They are given to the children to try. Aunt Qi, please accept them."

Mrs. Qi's heart warmed and she sighed, "It's my great fortune to be friends with such a smart and transparent girl like Miss Yan."

Yan Shu said politely: "Brother Qi is a kind and honest man. It is my luck to know him."

After some flattery from the courtesy exchange, Yan Shu saw that Qi Tianyi had not appeared for a long time.

"Brother Qi is not at home?"

"I went to the mountains with my eldest brother early in the morning. My eldest brother does some carpentry work. We just moved here and we need to make some beds, tables and benches. The two brothers thought of taking advantage of the free time during the Chinese New Year to go to the mountains to cut down some trees and come back to make some furniture. .”

Yan Shu nodded: "Is Brother Qi at home? I want to see how he is doing."

Mrs. Qi said excitedly: "I'm home, I'll take you there right now."

Yan Wu handed the three seabass to Mrs. Qi. Mrs. Qi thanked her again, walked back to the kitchen, handed the fish to Li Cuiju, and told her to put it away.

Then he hurried back to the main room and took Yan Shu to the next room.

Yan Shu glanced at the house. The house was not small, but there was no decent furniture inside. There was a thick hay mat on the floor, and two quilts on top of the mat.

Brothers Qi Tianlei and Qi Tianyi usually live in this house, but now Qi Tianlei is the only one lying on the hay mat.

"Second brother, Miss Yan is here to see you."

Qi Tianlei was covered with two thick quilts. Old Mrs. Qi walked over and helped him up, draped the cotton coat next to him on his body, and folded a quilt behind his back for him to lean on.

Yan Shu looked at the young man in front of him. His face and lips were pale, he was very thin, and his cheeks were sunken, which made his forehead and eyes look particularly big.

In fact, if you look carefully, his facial features are 60-70% similar to Qi Tianyi. If he can recover his health, he will definitely be a high-spirited young man.

"Miss Yan, I'm really troubling you."

He knew that Yan Shu's medical skills were excellent. If another doctor had such medical skills, he would be able to make a name for himself even if he went to Xinyang or the capital. Such a person was not something that a poor man like him could afford. .

Qi Tianlei knew very well that Yan Shu could come to see him, firstly because he was kind-hearted, and secondly, thanks to Lao San's contribution.

Yan Shu smiled faintly: "Why bother with something that can only be reached in a few steps? Brother Qi, please stretch your wrist over and let me check your pulse."

Qi Tianlei stretched out his right arm very cooperatively, his eyes were still indifferent, and he didn't have much hope for it.

Over the years, his illness has dragged down the whole family. His father was eager to make money to buy medicine for him, and he died suddenly from overwork. Although the eldest brother married a wife and had children, half of the money he earned over the years was spent on him. , all the money earned by the third brother was given to his mother, and indirectly it was also used to treat his illness.

Except for his sister-in-law's complaints, no one else had said a harsh word to him in these years, and they even hoped that he could live a good life.

Qi Tianlei sighed helplessly in his heart. He did not remember his sister-in-law's complaints. Any other woman who married into such a family would have complained to some extent.

My sister-in-law once called him a debt collector behind her back, but actually it's quite appropriate if you think about it carefully. Isn't he just a debt collector? It would have been fine if this useless body was born into a rich family, but it happened to be born into a poor family, causing the whole family to never be able to turn over.

In fact, he wanted to sleep over and be done with it, but when he saw his mother often crying for him, he couldn't bear to leave her like this.

Yan Shu felt Qi Tianlei's restlessness while taking his pulse and raised his eyes to look at him.

"Brother Qi's illness is a congenital heart disease. The most taboo for this disease is complicated thoughts and excessive thinking. If you want to cure the disease, you must first have the desire to live."
