“Sister Xi’er, I didn’t mean to waste this oil. I’m going to use this delicious stuff to exchange for oil. Believe me, tomorrow is market day, and I can get a lot of oil back.”
Qiao Xi'er's eyes were blurry with tears, and she couldn't quite believe it: "This thing can change the oil, how do you change the oil?"
"You'll see when the time comes, Sister Xi'er. I understand the difficulties this family faces, and I wouldn't do something like this without a reason."
"I promise I'll be back tomorrow and give everyone an explanation."
Qiao Xi'er was still angry and felt it was unrealistic, but since all these things had come to light, she had no choice but to believe Song Lian'er.
"Let's pour this oil back into the container. We'll make sure it's all there. Otherwise, when our family comes home and sees how much is missing, they'll feel bad."
Used oil can still be used, but pressing these things consumes most of it.
“Sister Xi’er, there’s a clever way to put this oil in these things,” Song Lian’er said. “If you want to change the oil, you have to put some oil in.”
"Since we've already used it, let's just consider it used up."
Qiao Xi'er sighed and poked Song Lian'er's forehead with her finger with a little force.
"If you can't get the oil back, I won't let you off the hook."
"I knew Sister Xi'er was the gentlest and best." Song Lian'er hugged Qiao Xi'er and kissed her on the cheek.
Qiao Xi'er's delicate face immediately turned red. Her skin was naturally fair, which made her look as beautiful as snow reflecting the sunset.
"You're so irresponsible, you don't even know shame," she scolded playfully.
"Don't be ashamed, don't be ashamed, it's just that Sister Xi'er is so beautiful."
"Alright, alright, I'm going to get busy. You have your own ideas, so do it yourself."
"By the way, have you thought about how you're going to explain things to your family tonight?"
"Don't worry, Sister Xi'er, I have a plan. They won't find out."
Qiao Xi'er went out, touched her face, but couldn't suppress the smile on her lips.
Song Lian'er washed a small jar and put all the squeezed chicken-of-the-woods mushrooms into it.
Then he poured all the oil from the pot into a jar and sealed it.
Then she shaved some wood blocks, emptied all the oil blocks from the oil jar, placed the wood blocks underneath, and then put the oil back in, making it look like there was the same amount as before.
The oil used at home is used little by little, so it won't be noticed for the time being.
She was tired after finishing all that and planned to go to her room to rest.
Qiao Yunni woke up at some point, leaning against the headboard, staring blankly into the air.
“Mother.” Song Lian’er sat down beside her.
When she saw her daughter, Qiao Yunni's eyes softened.
"Lian'er, you're back at the Qiao family. Are you happy?"
"I'll be even happier when I change my surname back to my mother's."
Qiao Yunni smiled. As long as her daughter is happy, that's all that matters. Her daughter's happiness is the most important thing.
However, she herself was abandoned by her husband's family, and even her own son no longer recognized her. It was impossible for her to come to terms with it so easily.
"Mother, I've examined your legs and feet. They can heal on their own. Let me see if there are any herbs that are more effective. I hope you can recover faster."
Qiao Yunni's legs are now wrapped with herbs that the Qiao family found. She knows a little about pharmacology, and she knows that these herbs are not very effective.
However, the Qiao family simply couldn't afford the medical treatment, so they could only wait for Qiao Yunni to recover on her own.
"What did you say? My legs can heal on their own?" Qiao Yunni immediately realized something was wrong.
