"Old Qing, this matter is settled. I'll come to your fish pond tomorrow to take a look!" After finalizing the matter, Yi Xiaochuan sterilized the silver needles, and then endured his disgust and inserted a few needles into Qing Dafu's inner thighs.

Qing Dafu's place is terrible. There are red rashes everywhere, and some places are scratched. You can imagine how painful he is usually.

Fortunately, this guy's wife died early, otherwise his wife would have to beat him to death, and even his little brother would not be able to survive.

After finishing his work, he got some Chinese herbal medicine and told Qing Dafu to apply it on himself every day, and he would be cured naturally in half a month.

Qing Dafu was also cheerful and gave Yi Xiaochuan a sack of rice as agreed, and finally sent Yi Xiaochuan away.

Yi Xiaochuan left happily. Now he had rice, but he still lacked the side dishes. He was not in a hurry to go home, and carried the rice to the river outside the village.

There are some fish resources in this place. Usually the villagers can't eat meat, so they come here to catch fish. It would be a good idea to get some back today to replenish Lin Jingrou's body.

He took off his clothes and pants and immediately got into the water to catch fish.

I had good luck today, and I caught two palm-sized fish in a short while.

Carrying the fish in one hand and rice on the other shoulder, he returned home happily and put down the things, but Lin Jingrou was nowhere to be seen.

He was startled and rushed out to look for someone. He saw Lin Jingrou standing outside his second uncle's house, and his second aunt was quietly giving her rice.

"Jingrou, take this rice and go home to cook!" When the second aunt saw Yi Xiaochuan coming, she motioned to Lin Jingrou to go home quickly.

When Yi Xiaochuan saw this scene, his expression suddenly became much worse. He was not angry because Lin Jingrou went to borrow rice behind his back, but because he was borrowing rice from someone else's house, and not from his second uncle's house.

"What can I borrow? You are young and have nothing to do but think about others giving alms all day long?" At this time, a middle-aged man appeared at the door and snatched the rice from Lin Jingrou's hand.

He is Yi Xiaochuan's second uncle. Although he is the second uncle, this second uncle is not as good as an outsider.

"Old man, what are you doing? Isn't Jingrou just here to borrow some rice? It's not like you won't return it!"

"Jingrou, don't be as knowledgeable as your second uncle. Take the rice and go back to cook first." The second aunt glared at it, snatched the rice back, and carefully stuffed it into Lin Jingrou's arms.

The second uncle didn't have a good look on his face. He looked at Yi Xiaochuan with disgust and said, "Don't you even look at who you're lending it to? If you lend it to them, can you afford to pay it back in the future?"

"Hmph! A grown man is lazy all day long and still wants his wife to support him. What will he give in return?"

These words made Yi Xiaochuan angry. When his parents died, he asked his second uncle to help take care of him. His second uncle promised, but never really helped him in any way. He even often avoided him for fear of coming to his house to borrow things. .

So in the previous life, Yi Xiaochuan would never borrow things from his second uncle's house, because sometimes relatives are not as reliable as outsiders!

"Old man, please stop saying a few words. Xiaochuan's parents are not here, and he is still young and ignorant. Why should the elders help him?" The second aunt was worried that she would say something unpleasant, so she turned around and pushed the second uncle into the house.

Yi Xiaochuan stepped forward, took out the rice from Lin Jingrou's arms, and threw it into the house: "Put away your false compassion. Even if we starve to death, we will not eat your food!"

He pulled Lin Jingrou and turned around to walk home.

As the saying goes, if you are poor, you must have backbone, and if you die, you must die with dignity. Outsiders can regard him as a human being, but the second uncle is bitter and mean. How can Yi Xiaochuan eat such a meal?

Back home, Lin Jingrou shook off Yi Xiaochuan's hand, but didn't say a word.

"Jingrou, I'm sorry, I made you feel wronged!" Looking at Lin Jingrou who was silent, Yi Xiaochuan couldn't help but feel distressed.

It was better not to say this. Lin Jingrou, who had been wronged, burst into tears instantly like a flood.

Yi Xiaochuan hugged her to comfort her, but Lin Jingrou kept patting his chest, crying and saying aggrievedly: "Why don't you live up to your expectations? Why can't you change?"

Although what the second uncle said just now was unpleasant, it was all true. It was Yi Xiaochuan's fault. Even if he helped the family with some things on weekdays, they would not be where they are today.

"I'm sorry Jingrou, from now on, I will definitely make you the happiest woman!" Yi Xiaochuan hugged her tightly, squeezing her fists tightly.

He owed this woman a favor in his previous life, and he vowed to make her happy in this life.

Lin Jingrou cried for a while before her mood stabilized. She also knew that she went to her second uncle's house to borrow rice behind Yi Xiaochuan's back, which made Yi Xiaochuan also suffer humiliation.

"What should we do now? Let's make the remaining rice into rice soup and drink it!" Lin Jingrou walked towards the rice vat while wiping her tears.

Although there are only a few grains of rice in it, if it is made into porridge, the two of them drink more water and eat less rice, and they can make do with a meal. They just don't know what to do with the next meal.

"Who said we have no rice at home? What do you think this is?" Yi Xiaochuan took out the bag of rice and opened it in front of Lin Jingrou with a smile on his face.

Lin Jingrou, who originally had a gloomy expression, was stunned for a moment when she looked at the bag full of rice grains.

"Where did you get this?" It took her a long time to realize that this much rice was enough for two people to eat for a month.

Yi Xiaochuan smiled mysteriously, without explaining, took out two more fish and said, "What do you think these are?"

There was rice and fish, which made Lin Jingrou burst into laughter instantly. She finally no longer had to be hungry.

"Jingrou, don't worry, this is what I got for treating Qing Dafu just now. I didn't steal or rob, I earned it based on my ability!" Yi Xiaochuan then explained. He knew that Lin Jingrou would definitely be worried. She went there just to have a meal. Do bad things.

Lin Jingrou looked at him and tears flowed out again, this time they were tears of relief.

This was the first time since her marriage that Yi Xiaochuan took the initiative to make money. Although it was just in exchange for rice, she found that the man in front of her was really changing.

"Then...I'll go cook..." She happily wiped her tears, but was pulled back by Yi Xiaochuan.

"You have a good rest, I'll cook!" Yi Xiaochuan pressed his shoulder with a smile on his face.

Seeing him taking the initiative to cook, Lin Jingrou froze in place for a long time. Is the man she was waiting for really back?
