Lee Laosan came in from outside with one eye wide open and knelt in front of Old Lady Xu, "Mother, you have to save your child's mother!" "Please, mother, your son is begging you."
Old Lady Xu glared at her son, who was kowtowing nonstop. Her eyes were filled with disdain.
"Go to the side. I'm not dead yet, why are you kneeling?" "These two days, let her keep it up. That medicine …"
Finally he took out twenty coppers from under a pillow, "We don't have any money, that's all. If you want a doctor, think of a way yourself. Everyone in the family is sick and in pain, they all manage themselves. "
Staring at the 20 yuan in his hand, Lee Laosan was dumbfounded. His one eye, which was too early to be filled with tears, started crying, "Mother, she …" She's also your daughter-in-law! "
Old Lady Xu's eyes flashed as she spat on his face.
"What's wrong? If you ask for money, I'll give you twenty cents. You go and ask which family's daughter-in-law is sick, and the mother-in-law still has to support her with all her money? I even gave her money and asked her to raise it. How can she continue to be a human? Good you Lee Laosan, usually you preach to be filial, never thought that you are so filial. Pah, a thief made of oil but secretly doubts my decision. This is unfilial, unfilial ah. God, please blow me up … "How am I still going to live …" Lee Laosan trembled as he listened, then opened his mouth to explain. However, even if Old Lady Xu's mouth sputtered words, he would not be able to say anything at all.
Old Lady Xu glared at Lee Laoshi, who was still smoking, "Damn geezer, you only know how to smoke, I can't kill you." Look at how your son is tormenting me, I, I am his mother. Woo … I don't want to live anymore... I don't want to live anymore … I manage more than twenty people in this house. Am I that easy … "
Lee Laoshi coughed and looked at his old wife who was rolling around. Then he looked at Lee Laosan, who was crying, and coughed in embarrassment.
"San Er..." You saw the condition of the house. If you want to give your old master Brother Yun, then your old brother must also be willing to read. just for the two of them to chew every year... "Quite a few …
After he finished speaking, Lee Laoshi heaved a long sigh, "It's all useless being a father. It's all because of you children. That … Third Wife's illness, I don't think it's something that can be cured in a short period of time. I made the decision. In this period of time, I will leave Third Wife at home to recuperate. You, you need to use more snacks to bear the burden. Father … Sorry about that. " With that, Lee Laoshi looked at Lee Laosan with guilt.
Seeing that his dad was in such a difficult situation, Lee Laosan's anger also dissipated at this moment. He wiped away his tears. "Father, I understand. The mother's illness …" I'll figure out how to do it myself... "I really can't do it, I …"
At this point, Lee Laosan could not continue anymore. Although he was usually quite fierce towards his wife, he knew that the person who cared about him the most in this family was still his wife. If she were to leave, he wouldn't dare to think about his future.
Returning to the house, he saw that Lady Ma was dying and her nose was sour again.
He was furious when he saw Erduo standing there numbly. He raised his hand to teach her a lesson.
"It's all because of you, you retributive girl. If it wasn't for you and Sanduo messing around outside, your mother wouldn't have been so angry." If anything were to happen to your mother, it would be because of you and Sanduo. "
Erduo's face turned pale. She stood there and didn't avoid Lee Laosan's palm.
"Don't …"
Just as his palm was about to land on Erduo's face, Lee Laosan's clothes were lightly tugged. Lady Ma slowly raised her head from the bed.
She looked at Erduo and waved her hand. "Erduo, there's nothing wrong, hurry …" "Go to sleep."
"Mother …" Erduo sniffled, turned around and walked out of the room while holding back her tears. No matter how unsatisfied she was with this woman, she was still her mother. Moreover, she didn't intend to ignore her on purpose. But... She was really too soft, and all she knew was to follow that stupid old man.
Seeing that Lady Ma had woken up, Lee Laosan returned to the appearance of a numb idiot. However, he didn't dare to look into Lady Ma's eyes. Since he had no money in his bag, he couldn't treat her illness.
"Father, you should go to bed early as well." Girl... It's not intentional. " Lady Ma was still feeling dizzy. She held her head and turned around to lie down.
Lee Laosan quietly raised his head and glanced at her. Seeing that she closed her eyes again, he thought that their older child was only 17 years old.
For some reason, Lee Laosan suddenly stopped looking at Lady Ma. He just lay down in a hurry, groped for a corner of the quilt, and closed his eyes. If he fell asleep, he would no longer have these worries.
For a rare two days, Lady Ma did not do heavy work in the fields. Instead, she did light and frugal cooking at home.
Lee Qiqiao only heard about it from Sanduo on the third day after Lady Ma got sick.
After listening to Sanduo's story, she could only sigh deeply. He wrapped half of the chicken in tree leaves.
"Give this to Mother, let her slowly eat and recuperate. If she loses, it'll be difficult to make up for it in the future."
"Sis, I understand." Sanduo treasured the chicken and hid it under her clothes.
Seeing that the sky was about to turn dark, he hurried the ducks over to his house.
Now that Sanduo had turned around, Lee Qiqiao was ready to turn back. Unexpectedly, he heard a scream.
"Don't …"
Immediately after that, Sanduo ran back in a frenzy.
"Sis, Sis, Second Aunt, Eldest Aunt …" "Everyone is here."
Luckily, Sanduo ran away fast. Once she ran into the house, Lee Qiqiao stood in front of her.
In the distance, Xiu'er saw Sanduo returning and also came over. Sanduo secretly stuffed that half of the chicken into Xiu'er's hand, and when she turned around, everything was much calmer than before.
Lee Qiqiao frowned as she looked at the ferocious Old Lady Xu and Lady Wan, as well as the Eldest Aunt who didn't look like village woman. In his memories, this Eldest Aunt seemed to have always been good at handling matters, and also seemed to be extremely adept at doing so.
It wasn't an exaggeration to say that Lady Luo was the best at being a human being in Lee Laoshi's house. But according to her original body's memory, Lee Qiqiao could guess that a person like Lady Luo was someone who would talk nonsense when meeting people, or someone who would talk nonsense when meeting ghosts.
"Li …" "Lee Daniu, I saw all the delicious food you gave to that girl. Say, do you have a lot of meat?" Old Lady Xu pounced on him and asked ferociously. In that case, if Big Lee Qiqiao didn't bring out the meat, she would have to convict her of sinking into the pond today.
Lee Qiqiao found it funny. It was all because of the ignorance of these women. Where did they get their confidence from?
However, Lady Wan silently barged into the kitchen.
He rummaged through the house. Seeing that there were still some wild chickens diving into the water, as well as some wild fungi, he proudly carried the chickens out of the water.
"Mom, take a look. He does eat meat every day." The fact that he found a chicken in the water showed that he was the only one who cooked the chicken to eat. "No wonder you boast about how you don't lack meat in your home."
He seemed to have said this before. However, it was said in front of the two sisters. Lee Qiqiao was slightly annoyed and looked at Sanduo.
Sanduo was also shocked when she heard that. Seeing that her elder sister was angry, she quickly waved her hands.
"Sis, I didn't tell them, so I don't know where they put it."
Seeing her like this, Lee Qiqiao also calmed down. That's right, this little girl didn't look like a fool. How could she just randomly say that she had something to eat?
Actually, the matter of Old Lady Xu coming to ask for help would break out sooner or later. Rather than dodging, he might as well dodge freely.
"Idiot Li, I'm your grandmother. Usually you have food and clothes, so shouldn't you think about me? Let me ask you, your family has no shortage of meat, why didn't you send some over to me? "As a person, the most important thing is to be filial. Don't you understand that?"
Old Lady Xu sat down on the bench that Lady Luo brought over and started to teach the elders a lesson with her hands on her hips.
"Lee Daniu, your surname is Li, and you are even related to Lee Laoshi by blood. Respect the elders, filial piety the elders, this is what you should do. But you have meat to eat every day, and you dare not give us people who haven't eaten meat for a year to chew on. You, this is a great unfilial act. As a grandmother, I can make you sink into a pond today. The reason is, of course, that you are unfilial! "
Your sister, you're unfilial again.
Do you want to always use a big unfilial hat to button your sister?
Lee Qiqiao was infuriated. The angrier she got, the more brilliant her smile became.
Although they stood there motionlessly, Lady Wan and Lady Luo looked at them in a different light. Especially Lady Luo, who was looking at her with a deep gaze. He felt that this girl seemed to be … It was different from before.
Lee Daniu used to have a dirty body and her hair couldn't even be combed properly. It was a face that had been tainted over the years, and the clothes on his body were tattered.
But now?
In front of him was Big Fool Li with his hair combed into a large braid and tied behind his head. There was still a little sea in his forehead. The palm-sized face revealed smooth, slightly black skin. Although it was slightly yellowish, it had to be admitted that this was a young and delicate face. When Lady Ma was young, she was also quite beautiful. Lee Daniu, who was standing in front of him … She looked exactly like Lady Ma when she was young.
Suddenly, this daughter-in-law 3 understood a little. Perhaps the reason Lady Ma would take extra care of this fool was because she was too much like her when she was young. The two of them were wondering why they had never felt this way before. Why was it that the mother and daughter pair were so similar?
When her gaze fell on Lee Qiqiao, Lady Luo frowned even more unnoticeably.
The clothes worn by this fool Li did not look like the clothes worn in the past to cover up the area. It was the same as the clothes worn on Lu Er's body. At this moment, she was wearing a new, fragmented robe. Beneath her clothes was a pair of long pants that had a weird design. The legs were tied with grass ropes, giving her a refreshing feeling.
In fact, there were men in the village with long pants, but that was in the room with their underwear on. However, now that she saw Lee Qiqiao's outfit, she felt that it was even prettier than a dress.
"Mother, Daniu has food and clothes, how can she not be filial to you?" "Hur hur, look at Daniu's pants, they look really smart."
Lady Luo acted like a good person, but her words immediately reminded Old Lady Xu to look at Lee Qiqiao's clothes and pants. When she took a closer look, Old Lady Xu was infuriated once again.
"You great fool Li, there are good things to eat and good clothes to wear. You don't even know how to show your filial piety to our generation. If you don't tell me today, I'll never finish with you." The house you live in, your guide, and your servant are still in our old Lee Family. "
Lee Qiqiao, who originally didn't really care much, only felt a bit upset when she heard this. Why was the important matter of the household registration still in the hands of the old woman?
If that was the case, it would be a little troublesome.
Lady Luoyi was used to looking at people with a serious expression. Although Lee Qiqiao was still smiling and standing there calmly, she didn't do anything. He knew that these words had most likely grabbed hold of her.
"Mother, what's wrong with that? Daniu can hunt. I heard that they get prey, so they eat meat every day. We'll let her hunt every day, then we'll be filial to you. Do not be angry, do not be anxious, Daniu is not the person that is not filial. There must be a misunderstanding. " This nice guy, he made Lady Wan grind her teeth. Why didn't she always learn to behave like a good person? Looking at the old granny, he felt happy to hear that. Looking at the god in the eyes of the old people, he felt great love for her. It was only due to this that the damned old granny had such a pair of eyes …
At the end, Lady Luo tried to persuade her with the tone of an elder. Oh, Daniu, let me tell you, this junior's filial piety is only natural. Furthermore, although you are going to stay here, the head of the household is still in our old Lee Family. "So, you should pay your part of filial piety. You can't just forget about it!"
