"Because my mother had a chronic illness when she gave birth to me, my father always asked her to take medicine to regulate her body. But I suddenly remembered that when she was at the Shao family, she never took any medicine, not even after she came back. Why doesn't a patient need to take medicine every day? There's not even a trace of medicine on her body. This doesn't make sense.

Normally, a person who takes medicine every day should have the scent of Chinese medicine on his body, right? Just like the sister of the Wang family, she has been drinking snow lotus porridge recently. When I get close to Sister Wang, I can smell the fragrance of snow lotus on her body, and it lingers for a long time. You know, the smell of Chinese medicine is very pungent, how could it be possible that there is no smell at all?

And mother seems to be very strong, even stronger than you can imagine. Even when she hit me last night, I had no power to resist. If you don’t believe me, Dad, look at this half of my face now. The red mark has not disappeared yet.

I applied a hot compress of egg last night, and even applied hot water and powder this morning, but it still couldn't cover the mark.

The swelling still hadn't gone down. Daddy probably thought it would be gone by this morning, but it hadn't. It was even a little redder, though only slightly better than last night."

Mr. Liu stopped and looked at his daughter's face silently. He always kept a distance between his daughter and his daughter. After all, they were not really father and daughter. Therefore, he always maintained gentlemanly etiquette and never got too close to his daughter. Even when he took his daughter to live with a friend for a while, he was still far away. After all, his cousin was sick, and he couldn't get too close to his daughter. He was worried that the woman would have a seizure.

When Yingying was still little, he held her in his arms a few times, and his cousins ​​started asking him like crazy if he had taken a fancy to their daughter. He was so scared that he didn't go home for several days, and even walked around the child every time.

He never leaves any grudges to anyone, but after hearing what his daughter said, he slowly approached his daughter and looked at the marks on her face. It was indeed very red and swollen, and even the handprints had not gone down at all. You know, this had been going on all night. Last night he heard the sound of his daughter making a fire and boiling eggs. He thought the swelling would go away this morning, but it didn't. So where did his cousin get the strength to hit this child?

You know, ever since Liu Ying was born, the doctor told him that his cousin was weak and needed to take medicine all the time to nourish her body. The medicine included an expensive ginseng as the main ingredient, so the medicine became more and more expensive. He did not doubt it. After all, it was normal for medicine to be a little expensive, and it was not a very expensive thing. Mr. Liu's family still had some financial resources, otherwise they would not have been able to support him traveling back and forth to look for people in the past few years.

But now he seems to have begun to doubt whether his cousin really went to treat the illness, or whether his cousin deceived him?

"Yingying, tell me about your mother's recent situation. I haven't been close to her for a long time. After all, she's not a good-tempered person. She's always angry or mad. I can't do anything about it. I didn't even know she had such great strength. I was only close to her when she was giving birth. After that, for more than ten years, I never got close to her."

Liu Ying pursed her lips. In her impression, her mother seemed to have never taken medicine. Even when her father gave her money every month, her mother would disappear that day and come back at night. When she came back, she would bring some food, which looked like leftovers. These things were usually for her. Then, in the rest of the days, after her father went out to teach, she would not go out, or when he went out occasionally, he would not take her with him and let her stay at home to look after the house. Every time she came back, she would even bring a lot of delicious food, but they were all packed leftovers. Even the leftovers were delicious, anyway, better than what her mother cooked.

That's why she was sure that her mother didn't take the so-called medicine at all. If she took the medicine normally, wouldn't it be at a fixed time?

But sometimes his mother stays at home all day and never goes out. Can the apprentice in the pharmacy bring you the prepared medicine?

How is this possible? The pharmacy is very busy every day and has no time to take care of them. You know, the money her father gave her at the beginning was not enough for them to come to her door. Anyway, since she could remember, her mother never touched medicine again except when she boiled medicine for her mother a few times when she caught a cold.

"I don't really know my mother's whereabouts, I just have suspicions. Anyway, in my memory, when my father asked my mother for money on the first day he went out to teach, my mother would go out with my father.

Then she would go home an hour before her father came back, stay outside for a day, and then stay at home for at least a few days, not going out, and she didn't see anyone coming to deliver medicine.

Every time they brought back a lot of leftover food that no one knew who had eaten it, not only fish and meat, but also a lot of sweet little cakes, which were so delicious. It was only then that I found teeth marks on a piece of cake and realized that it was the leftover food that was packed up.

About every seven days, after my father left, my mother would pack up and go out directly. She would not come back until evening, about an hour or half an hour before my father returned. She would let me eat and then go to sleep in my room, without letting me say hello to my father.
