As soon as Zhuang Weixing walked into the house, he heard his mother scolding his sister.
He felt angry and helpless, and he couldn't figure it out.
How did he become like this in just these few years? And he cursed so harshly.
Although she had been mean to Xiao Min before, she had never been as excessive as she is now.
How could she marry her younger sister to that poor idiot from the next village!
Just as Zhuang Weixing was thinking about how to persuade Widow Li, Widow Li got off the bed, hugged Zhuang Weixing and cried, "Son, you are finally back. I missed you so much."
When Zhuang Weixing saw his mother get out of bed, he quickly went forward to support her and said, "Mom, if you're not feeling well, don't get out of bed."
Having said that, Zhuang Weixing carried her back to the bed.
Then, he picked up the bowl she had placed on the bedside table and fed her while saying, "Mom, let's talk after dinner if there's anything else."
Widow Li looked at Zhuang Weixing who was sitting beside the bed and said, "Okay! I'll listen to you."
Seeing her elder brother coming back, Zhuang Weimin hurried to the kitchen to get some porridge for Zhuang Weixing. She had only cooked for two people today, and now that her elder brother was back, there wasn't enough rice to go around.
Big brother must be hungry after taking such a long car ride, so she has to make some more dumpling soup for him.
Over there, Zhuang Weixing fed Widow Li, helped her to sleep, and then left the room.
Coming to the kitchen, Zhuang Weixing whispered to Zhuang Weimin, "Xiaomin, what's going on, Mom?"
“I don’t know either, ever since you left home to join the army.
My mother became abnormal. Sometimes she would lock herself in her room for days and not come out; sometimes she would run outside and quarrel with others.
Later, my health got worse and worse.
Her temper got worse and worse, becoming what you see now. I also took my mother to the hospital in town, but the doctor just said her condition had worsened and prescribed some medicine for her to take.
But the effect doesn't seem to be that great." Zhuang Weimin sighed.
After hearing what his sister said, Zhuang Weixing didn't know what to say.
He didn't know why his mother became like this, but it was true that his mother was in poor health.
It was just a small bowl of porridge, and it took me a long time to coax her to finish it. She was coughing while eating, and I don’t know if it was because he was back and she was in better spirits or what?
My sister told me that she used to vomit while coughing.
I wonder if it’s because her health is getting worse that her temper is getting worse?
After dinner, Zhuang Weixing went to the room to see his mother again.
I found that she slept very restlessly, sometimes laughing and sometimes crying. Sometimes she would even curse loudly. I don’t know if she was dreaming or what?
Zhuang Weixing stepped forward, grabbed her hand and patted it gently.
Only after Widow Li stopped having nightmares did he let go of her hand and leave the room.
When he returned to the main room, he saw his sister packing up and preparing to go out. Zhuang Weixing suddenly forgot that she was married and asked, "Xiao Min, where are you going so late?"
"Brother, I'm getting married, so of course I'm going home!"
Although she didn't want to go back to that home, she had to go back, Zhuang Weimin secretly added in her heart.
After hearing what Zhuang Weimin said, Zhuang Weixing remembered that his sister was already married.
But thinking about the man my sister had married, my usually calm heart suddenly became a little angry. I was angry at my mother, and I was also angry at myself.
He was angry that he didn't find a good family for his sister before leaving home, and he was also angry that his mother sold his sister for a hundred dollars.
It’s a pity that Xiaomin was still giving him advice on how to pursue his senior sister.
No, he couldn't watch his sister continue to stay in this fire pit, he had to rescue his sister from the fire pit.
Thinking of this, Zhuang Weixing said, "Stay at home today, and I'll go back with you tomorrow."
Hearing Zhuang Weixing's words, Zhuang Weimin was stunned at first. Then, he said in surprise, "Really?"
Then, thinking of something, Zhuang Weimin lowered his head and said, "No need, brother. You are injured, you should rest at home!"
Zhuang Weixing shook his head and said, "Xiao Min, tell big brother.
Do you really want to spend your whole life with that lazy, mean-spirited idiot who has nothing?"
After hearing what Zhuang Weixing said, Zhuang Weimin couldn't help but shed tears.
She cried and said, "What else can I do?"
Hearing his sister say this, Zhuang Weixing knew what she was thinking.
So he asked again: "If I ask you to divorce him, will you agree?"
"Divorce?"
Zhuang Weixing's words frightened Zhuang Weimin. She thought about asking her brother to teach her husband a lesson, but she never thought about divorce.
Growing up, she had only heard of wives being beaten and daughters-in-law jumping into the river.
But I have never heard of any daughter-in-law getting divorced?
Besides, what should she do after the divorce?
Not to mention that she would be reported as a slut by someone with ulterior motives, even the gossipers in the village could drown her with a single spit from each of them.
Thinking of the days when people would point fingers at him in the future, Zhuang Weimin shook his head and said, "Brother, I can't get a divorce. I don't want a divorce."
Zhuang Weixing was not surprised to hear her words.
Since my sister doesn't want to divorce, the only thing I have to do is teach that idiot brother-in-law a lesson.
So Zhuang Weixing said, "Okay, then we won't get a divorce. Tomorrow, I'll go back with you to talk to my brother-in-law."
Zhuang Weimin was a little skeptical when she heard his words, but she felt relieved when she thought about her elder brother, who was also a gangster in the past. She was sure that he would have a way to deal with her husband.
Zhuang Weimin listened to Zhuang Weixing and stayed at home, waiting to go home with him the next day.
*****
Lin Yizhen, who was still collecting medicinal herbs on Yanhui Mountain, finally collected three or four medicinal herbs after several days of running around.
The reason why she knew these were elixirs was because Lin Yizhen sent all the collected herbs into the space for Xiaoyu to identify them.
Only continue to collect them when you are sure they are useful to Xiaoyu. Those medicinal herbs that are too old are useless to Xiaoyu.
Lin Yizhen did not waste any of the herbs she had collected. She stored all of them in the warehouse of the Imperial Hospital.
Although I don’t know what it’s useful for now, I will definitely need it one day in the future.
Lin Yizhen picked all the aged medicinal herbs she saw, and accidentally picked three or four magical herbs.
After Xiaoyu absorbed this spiritual energy, she can now have brief conversations with her.
Knowing that these herbs are really useful to Xiaoyu, Lin Yizhen became even more enthusiastic about collecting elixirs.
However, these spiritual herbs are really difficult to collect. The few spiritual herbs she has collected so far were all collected in relatively dangerous places.
Some were picked by slowly sliding down the cliff with a rope; some were picked from the dens of wild beasts; and one was snatched from the mouth of a giant snake thicker than her waist.
In short, every magical medicine is hard-earned.
Now Xiaoyu told her: In order to recover from her injuries, she would need eleven or twelve such magical herbs.
This was the result after absorbing all the jade ornaments she sent.
The jade ornaments that Lin Yizhen sent over had all been worn by others, and much of the spiritual energy on them had dissipated, so they could not have much effect on Xiaoyu's injuries.
None of them are as effective as the elixirs that Lin Yizhen has just collected.
