Chapter 6: The Damned Old Hag



"I have worked so hard to raise San Jin, and I was counting on him to carry on the family line of the Li family. But you, a vicious and slutty woman, actually ruined San Jin's roots. I will never forgive you..."

Shen Yizhi carried Qingbao to the door of his house and saw a group of people gathered outside. In the center of the crowd, a woman in her fifties was sitting on the ground crying, cursing and slapping the ground rhythmically with her hands.

What's going on? "Make way, what are you doing at my doorstep?"

Seeing the real host coming, the onlookers who were watching the fun with their bowls in hand quickly made way for him.

Shen Yizhi walked over and saw the yard in a mess. All the medicinal herbs were knocked over on the ground. He became furious.

Old Mrs. Wang, who was sitting on the ground, suddenly got up and rushed over to give her a big slap in the face.

Shen Yizhi held Qingbao and dodged to the side. Fearing that Qingbao would be accidentally injured, he put him down and protected him behind him.

"You little bitch! You cunt-itchy slut! You still dare to hide! Today I will definitely peel off a layer of your skin!"

While Shen Yizhi was taking care of Qingbao, Old Lady Wang rushed over, grabbed her hair, and twisted her chest hard with her hands like iron pliers.

Shen Yizhi felt so painful that she wanted to curse, this old hag, is she crazy? She wanted to push her away, but Old Lady Wang was so strong that she couldn't push her away. Instead, she twisted her body a few more times.

"Hey, Sanjin Niang, if you have something to say, please talk to me nicely. Why are you hitting me?"

Aunt Li hurried over and tried to mediate the fight.

"That's right. We all know what Yao Niang is like on a daily basis. San Jin Niang, your scolding is too harsh."

Several other women who couldn't stand it also stepped forward to stop it.

Old Lady Wang spat a mouthful of thick phlegm at him, "What are you talking about! This bitch is flirting with people everywhere, how can she behave herself if I don't give her a good beating? I must teach her a lesson today!"

Several people were disgusted by her and while they were dodging her, Old Lady Wang pulled the backpack off Shen Yizi's back and crushed it to pieces along with the herbs inside that she used to cover up the wound.

"You are not a doctor! I think you are just flirting with other people under the name of a doctor!"

Old Lady Wang grabbed Shen Yizi's hair, and she was unable to break free for a moment. She became furious and threw Old Lady Wang heavily to the ground with an over-the-shoulder throw, taking the opportunity to save her hair.

"Oh my old waist!" Old Mrs. Wang fell hard and couldn't get up for a long time.

Qing Bao looked at his mother being bullied, his face puffed up with anger, he rushed over like a cannonball and hit Old Lady Wang hard, "Bad guy! I'll beat you up! I told you not to bully my mother!"

Old Lady Wang's drooping triangular eyes shot out a sinister light, "You little bastard without a father! How dare you hit me? Today I will teach you a lesson!"

Shen Yizi slapped Qing Bao in the face and was extremely angry!

He kicked her and pulled Qing Bao behind him: "You damn old woman! If you dare to touch Qing Bao, I will fight you!"

Old Lady Wang was frightened by her cold and cruel eyes. When she came to her senses, she lay down on the ground and cried loudly: "This is so unfair! You have ruined my life, San Jin, and you little bitch are bullying an old woman like me. Be careful or you'll be struck by lightning!"

Shen Yizhi sneered, "Li Sanjin? I've never even met him, so stop slandering him here!"

Aunt Li echoed, "Mrs. Sanjin, Yao Niang usually doesn't go anywhere except seeing patients and going up the mountain to collect herbs. How could she be related to Sanjin? Don't just think Yao Niang is soft-hearted and throw dirty water on her on purpose."

Others chimed in: "That's right. We don't know what kind of person San Jin is. He drinks, gambles, and hangs around all day. Maybe he got hurt in a fight. Do you want to take advantage of this opportunity to blame Yao Niang?"

These villagers had all received favors from the medicine lady. Normally, she would only charge a symbolic consultation fee when treating patients, so everyone remembered her kindness. When they saw Old Lady Wang throwing a tantrum, they all stood on her side.

Shen Yizi couldn't help but feel warm in his heart.

The situation was one-sided, how could Old Lady Wang still make a fuss? She stared at Shen Yizhi viciously, then she got up, patted her butt and left.

This little bitch, she will take her in sooner or later!

Qing Bao was so frightened by her eyes that she hugged Shen Yizi's legs tightly. Her heart ached. That damn old woman dared to scare her little baby. Sooner or later, she would get revenge on her!

Seeing that there was nothing exciting to watch, the crowd gradually dispersed. Aunt Li and several other women helped clean up the yard and comforted her before leaving.

Shen Yizhi carried Qing Bao into the house. The little fellow suddenly became fierce, and waved his fist, "I'll beat you! I'll beat you! I told you not to bully my mother!"

This fierce and ferocious look made her feel soft and sour in her heart.

She wrapped his little fist in her palm, hugged his little body and rocked it gently, with her cheek against his head, "Qingbao, it's okay, mother has already chased the bad guys away, don't be afraid..."

With her gentle comfort, Qingbao's mood gradually calmed down. His head drooped softly on her shoulder. He yawned in a baby voice and seemed to be sleepy.

"Baby, go to sleep. Mommy will go make something delicious first. I'll call you when it's ready."

Shen Yizhi gently placed him on the bed and kissed him on the forehead, cheeks, and nose.

Seeing that the little guy was soundly asleep, she carefully pulled her fingers out of his little hand.

She went into a space and came out with a pheasant and some bird eggs in her hands.

The pheasant was caught in a trap. She put a few earthworms that had been soaked in spiritual spring water in the trap. As a result, she not only caught the pheasant, but also a fat striped rat snake. This kind of snake is non-venomous and will definitely be delicious if it is handled well.

Shen Yizi first cleaned the pheasant, divided it into two halves, cut one half into large pieces, fried it and kept stir-frying it. When the meat pieces were half cooked, he added water, put in spices such as ginger, wild garlic, star anise, fennel, etc., covered the pot and simmered it.

The other half is placed in a ceramic pot, filled with water, and placed in a corner of the stove to simmer.

Use the firewood in the stove to heat it slowly.

The soup made in this way is rich, fragrant and delicious. Even if you add only a little salt, it tastes good. This is something that Yao Niang learned from Aunt Li.

This way of stewing soup is not only fragrant, but also saves firewood. You don't have to worry about it in the middle of the process. Just add a handful of wood chips from time to time when the stove fire is about to go out to keep the stove fire going out.

She made a steamed egg with a few bird eggs.

Steamed eggs are best for children.

When the braised chicken was almost cooked, she added the chopped yam into it.
