Lucky husband

Li Mingjin and Li Qiusheng had been at the foot of the back mountain. About an hour later, Li Mingjin dug out a herb and looked at the shadow on the ground, and suddenly remembered what the second grandmother had told him before coming here.

"Ouch." After patting his head, Li Mingjin quickly stood up, "Cousin, it's time for us to go back to have lunch. I'll come out later in the afternoon to find medicinal materials with you."

Li Qiusheng didn't raise his head, and continued to move his hands and said, "Okay, let's go back after I finish digging this plant."

Li Mingjin didn't dig any more. He picked up the fruits of his labor and sat in a cool place to rest.

After all, he is a novice, and he is not proficient in identifying and digging herbs. He only dug out five plants in an hour, and dug the wrong three times during the period, wasting a lot of time.

Li Qiusheng, who was already proficient at digging herbs, piled up a small pile beside him, and by visual estimation, there should be twelve or three.

After he dug out the plant in his hand, Li Qiusheng picked up all the herbs that he and Li Mingjin had dug up, and put them in a place where he organized them so that they could be exposed to sunlight and not easily found by others. dry well.

At this time, Li Mingjin knew what his cousin had been doing during this period of time. The dried herbs that Li Qiusheng had dug out looked like at least a hundred.

"Cousin, you are so amazing!" Li Mingjin looked at Li Qiusheng with admiration, "There are so many herbs, it should be enough for Grandpa Xing to see my cousin once."

Li Qiusheng said uncertainly: "I don't know, seeing a doctor is very expensive, so it shouldn't be enough."

In his impression, seeing a doctor is a very expensive thing. When he was still in the Liang family, his grandma always said that no one in the family should get sick, because seeing a doctor was too expensive.

In fact, seeing a doctor is not so expensive, what costs money is taking medicine.

But Li Mingjin didn't understand these things either. He thought for a while and said, "Well, seeing a doctor does seem to cost money. Let's save more so that my cousin can recover faster."

"Okay." Li Qiusheng smiled, looking at these herbs that had been dug out and sun-dried, he seemed to have seen the scene where his mother had seen the doctor get better after taking the medicine.

The two of them spread the herbs flat to dry and then walked towards home. On the way, Li Mingjin suddenly thought that when the herbs were dried just now, there was a lot of mud on their roots, and there were also some dirt on the herbs that his cousin had dried before. less mud.

Recalling how food was stored at home, Li Mingjin asked curiously: "Cousin, I know that if you want to store food like sweet potatoes and taro in the cellar, you need to leave some mud on it and then dry it. It’s because the vegetable leaves need to be dried in the sun and must be washed first. This herb uses roots, which are similar to sweet potatoes and taro, so you don’t wash the mud?”

"I don't know if it should be handled like this. I figured it out myself." Li Qiusheng said very honestly.

In addition to what Li Mingjin said, there is another reason-there is no water source at the foot of the back mountain, so there is no way to wash.

This is because Li Qiusheng didn't want others to know that he was doing this, so he tried his best to process the herbs at the foot of the back mountain instead of going to other places.

Thinking of this, Li Qiusheng told Li Mingjin: "Brother Jin, before I collect enough herbs for my mother to see a doctor, can you not tell this matter, I am worried that if my mother finds out, she will be worried that I will be too tired to let you go." I will continue to dig herbs."

"Okay, no problem." Li Mingjin patted his chest and agreed.

He just wanted to go home and ask his mother or grandma what kind of herbal medicine it was. Since his cousin didn't want others to know, he didn't say it.

Li Qiusheng was relieved to see Li Mingjin nodding his head in agreement. In fact, what he was worried about was not being known by his mother, but by his two aunts.

After the drought started, Li Qiusheng could clearly feel that the two aunts had a prejudice against him and his mother. The two aunts often secretly teased their mother and son together, saying that they were eating at home or something, so since it rained, they began to prepare sweet potatoes. , his mother followed the grandfather and two uncles to work in the fields, and the two aunts talked less.

He was afraid that after they found out about his secret digging of herbs, they would say that he was doing these useless things outside all day and didn't know how to help the family.

Li Mingjin and Li Qiusheng had just walked a few steps when Li Mingjin saw Mistress Li walking this way, and he happily shouted to her, "Second Mistress, we are here and we are just about to go back."

Li Qiusheng was not as lively as Li Mingjin, he smiled shyly and called, "Grandma."

"I see you two haven't come back after dinner, so hurry up and look for you." Mistress Li smiled kindly, "Brother Qiu, Brother Jin, let's go."

"Enen, we will pay attention to the time next time we go out to play." Li Mingjin stuck out his tongue, secretly glad that it was the second grandma who came to look for them, if his grandma came and told him to go back to eat, he would definitely scold him.

Granny Li's temper is straighter and hotter. In fact, she doesn't really swear, she just speaks in a harsh tone, because she thinks that the child doesn't know how to go back to eat at meal time, which is a sign of mischief, and must be stopped in time.

The two followed Mistress Li back. Li Mingjin had just walked to Erye Li's house when he heard a woman's cry from the yard of his own house. Upon hearing the voice, it should be his second aunt Qian Xinghua.

Mistress Li was in her yard all morning, and she heard the movement next door. Seeing Li Mingjin's puzzled face, she explained, "Your grandma scolded your second aunt in the morning, and your second aunt kept crying."

Mistress Li's words were too tactful, Granny Li didn't just scold Qian Xinghua a few words, she scolded Qian Xinghua all over her face.

In the morning, after Li Mingjin broke away from Qian Xinghua to find Li Qiusheng, Qian Xinghua stood at the gate of Li's courtyard by herself, with a worried and frightened expression on her face. She always believed that the idea of ​​sending her back to her natal family was the idea of ​​Mrs. Li. , if she wanted to go back to Li's house, she had to agree with Mrs. Li, but she didn't dare to knock on the door and go in.

During these two months, her life at her natal home was worse than soaking in coptis water. She cried all her tears when she went to bed at night, and finally couldn't bear to leave her natal home and return to Li's home.

In fact, Qian Xinghua had a good life in the first few days after being sent back to her natal home. First of all, her older brother and younger brother didn’t know why she was sent back to her natal home. Secondly, Li Chengli brought her rations, which were quite a lot. .

In the face of drought, there is no work to do in the fields, and there is no way to raise livestock at home, so everyone is idle.

So, after Qian Xinghua returned to her natal home, she slept in bed every day, and got up to eat when it was time to eat, without doing any work.

She would do this because she thought that she would not be able to eat the food that her man brought back to her natal family by herself, and the rest of the food would be considered as subsidy for her natal family. If she returned to her natal family, she would still have to work hard for the family , that would be too bad.

After Mrs. Qian observed her daughter coldly for a few days, she found that Qian Xinghua was really different from before she got married.

Later, Mrs. Qian made a decision to halve Qian Xinghua’s daily food intake. The reason is simple. After staying at home for a few days, Qian Xinghua has gained weight. cause misunderstanding.

Qian Xinghua was extremely shocked, her mother thought she ate too much, it's God's pity, she didn't live a comfortable day after marrying Li's family, how could she be fat.

No matter how much trouble Qian Xinghua makes, Mrs. Qian will not let go. She has no way of telling her son and daughter-in-law the unconscionable things that her daughter did at her husband's house. If the old lady is at home, she will not spoil Qian Xinghua.

As soon as Mrs. Qian's attitude changed, Qian Xinghua's elder brother, younger brother, sister-in-law and younger siblings all immediately understood what their mother meant, and their attitude towards Qian Xinghua suddenly cooled down.

When she was sent back to Qian's family, Qian Xinghua's heart was warm. After a few days, she was treated like this by her natal family, and her heart suddenly became cold, but she thought that her husband had sent so much food. , She gritted her teeth and endured it, and she was about to eat enough food before talking.

Qian Xinghua's thoughts are not clear to Mrs. Qian. She thinks that after her daughter has been treated like that, she continues to stay at her mother's house because she has finally realized her mistake and is embarrassed to go back to her husband's house. She wants to find a time to talk to her daughter. Let's see if I can explain her clearly.

Unexpectedly, when Li Chengli came to deliver food again after fifteen days, Mrs. Qian overheard her daughter scolding her son-in-law: "Li Chengli, are you out of your mind? Why are you bringing so much food here? I haven't finished eating the food I was given once, I'm going to go back after the food you brought last time is finished, you..."

Before Qian Xinghua finished speaking, Li Chengli interrupted her: "Xinghua, I sent you back to your mother's house in the hope that you can figure it out, and don't treat Miss Chun and Girl Xia like that in the future. If you still can't figure it out, Just stay in Qiantan Village, I will deliver the food on time until you figure it out."

After staying at her natal home for fifteen days, Qian Xinghua almost forgot why she was sent back to her natal home, and spent the whole day thinking about how much food she ate, when she suddenly heard Li Chengli's words, she was dumbfounded.

Looking at her, Li Chengli knew that she hadn't figured it out yet, so he didn't say any more, turned around and left Qian's house.

This time, Mrs. Qian fully understood the feeling that Mrs. Li used to be angered by Qian Xinghua. She realized that her daughter was really hopeless, so she became ruthless and decided to train her well.

You know what your son-in-law said just now, if Qian Xinghua doesn't change, old lady Qian is really worried that the Li family will divorce Qian Xinghua.

She is Qian Xinghua's mother. No matter how disappointed she is with this daughter, this blood relationship will not disappear. If Qian Xinghua is divorced and wants to return to her natal family to beg for a living, she can still suppress her son and daughter-in-law when she is there, and let her Life is easier, if she dies one day, who can Qian Xinghua rely on, it's no wonder that her brothers, sisters-in-law, brothers and sisters don't dislike her.

After being divorced, she doesn't have to stay at her mother's house to remarry, but what good is there for a remarried person? They can only pick old widowers or those who have problems and can't marry a wife. How can Qian Xinghua live in such a life?

Mrs. Qian's final solution is to make Qian Xinghua realize that her mother's family is unreliable, and she will live a good life with her son-in-law in her husband's family and raise her daughter and son.

It's not that Mrs. Qian doesn't want to be nice to her daughter, but that if she doesn't control her, it will really hurt her!
