When Tang Li came home from outside, he saw the three children at home looking at him.
The three children's eyes were red, as if they had been crying, and they looked pitiful.
Tangli squatted down in front of the three kids.
"What's the matter, little babies?" Tangli asked with a smile.
"Mom, are you leaving?"
"Mother, don't you want us anymore?"
"Mother, can you please not leave?"
The three babies asked one by one.
Sanbao burst into tears and sobbed.
She was so sad, she couldn't bear to leave her mother. As she cried, she started to hiccup, and her chubby face trembled.
Seeing the little dumpling crying like this, Tangli felt heartbroken and quickly hugged Sanbao in his arms to comfort him.
Tangli then learned from the three babies that everyone in the village was saying that she was going to run away.
She was speechless. Were people in ancient times more gossipy than modern people because they had so few entertainment options?! She hadn't done anything, yet the rumors were so outrageous!
Besides, Wei Qing only had a leg injury, he wasn't dead, so why would she run?! And even if she did run, she would have to take the three babies with her.
"Mom won't leave, my little babies. You are so cute. Mom can't bear to leave you."
Tang Li reassured the three babies again and again before calming them down. Seeing the three babies smiling, Tang Li's mood also improved.
Tangli entered the room and said, "I went to borrow a steamer. I'm going to make steamed buns today and make bacon filling for you~"
Wei Qing loved eating meat, but since there was no fresh meat, he had to use bacon. He was injured now, so he should eat good food to help his wound heal faster.
Wei Qing didn't say anything. He stared at Tang Li with his deep eyes, a hint of gloom between his brows.
In the past two days, Wei Qing has been staring at her with such a gloomy look, which made Tang Li very uncomfortable.
"Tangli, this is your indenture." Wei Qing placed a piece of paper on the table. "I bought you, and you haven't even gotten married yet. This family has nothing to do with you. Leave now."
Tang Li was a little confused: "I'm leaving? Where to?"
Wei Qing pursed his lips and remained silent for a while.
The world is in chaos now, and it's not safe for a delicate little girl like her to walk around outside. The best way is to find her a good husband and let her have someone to rely on. However, thinking about this, he felt a little depressed.
He can't do it.
He even had the thought of keeping her by his side at all costs, but he suppressed it.
He wasn't a good person anyway, so giving her the indenture contract without getting her into trouble was the best he could do.
The man's face was tense as he looked out the window.
Tangli stared at the man's profile.
It turns out that he spent two days thinking about it and figured out this!
He's a villain, isn't he? Shouldn't he be ruthless and cold-blooded? When he's in trouble, shouldn't he use coercion and bribery to keep him and work like a slave? Why did he let him go?
How could there be such an interesting villain?
Tang Li sat on the edge of the bed, supporting his chin and looking at him.
The little girl blinked her eyes, her eyes sparkling. Wei Qing couldn't hold it in any longer, so he turned around and glared at her fiercely.
"You're still glaring at me. Aren't you still alive? Wei Qing, you're not dead, why are you pushing me to remarry? You just have a leg injury. Won't it heal after a while?"
"It's not going to get better." Wei Qing said sullenly.
Tang Li was stunned for a moment: "How could it be?"
The rescue was timely, unlike in the dream, where it was not discovered until several days later, when it was rotten and maggot-infested, and one leg was completely disabled.
"There are several people like this in the village. They were bitten by wild beasts and their bones were broken. Even after the wounds healed, they were still lame." Wei Qing stared at her straightly. "Are you willing to follow a lame man?"
Tangli stood up quickly, turned around and ran out.
Wei Qing clenched his hands into fists, and the veins on his arms popped out.
Suddenly, he struck the wall hard with his hand. His hand was so strong that the wall trembled.
After the outburst, only a deep sense of powerlessness remained on his face.
She left.
Even though he had known this would be the outcome, he still felt empty inside.
Wei Qing closed his eyes.
He carried a strong sense of loneliness.
I don’t know how long it took…
"Wei Qing!"
Wei Qing opened his eyes and saw Tang Li standing at the door.
Wei Qing even suspected that he had seen it wrong and made a foolish move by rubbing his eyes with his hands.
"I just asked Doctor Su. He can cure your leg, but he's missing a herb. I'll go to town tomorrow to see if he has it."
Doctor Su said that Wei Qing's leg had damaged the nerves, and even if the wound healed, he would still limp.
However, there is a solution. He has a prescription that can cure Wei Qing.
However, he was currently lacking a single herb. The rhizome of this herb could reduce inflammation and relieve pain, the root could invigorate blood circulation and dissolve stasis, and the leaves could even treat lung disease. It was truly a miracle drug. This kind of miracle drug, not found in modern pharmacopoeias, was a bit like the strength of a spiritual plant from the demon world.
Without this medicine, Wei Qing's legs might become lame.
The problem is, this medicine is too rare...
However, this is good news for Tangli. No matter how rare it is, as long as it exists, at least there is hope.
Wei Qing stared at her blankly: "You didn't leave?"
"Are you really looking forward to me leaving? I won't leave! Of course, I don't want to pester you, I just can't bear to leave my three babies." Tang Li felt uncomfortable and shouted loudly. After yelling twice, he turned around and left.
After Wei Qing was yelled at by her, he seemed to come back to life.
Can his legs really heal?!
He's already in this state, and this little woman is still willing to follow him and suffer?!
The young wife doesn't mind, but he can't let her suffer any injustice.
He needs to heal his wounds as soon as possible and earn money to support his family!
As for the legs, if one doctor can’t cure them, go find another!
Wei Qing's cold heart suddenly boiled!
…
Tangli was kneading dough in the kitchen, preparing to make buns.
Tang Li knew this was a good opportunity to leave, as the villain had taken the initiative to let her go. However, when this opportunity was presented to her, she found herself reluctant and unable to bear it.
Her eyes fell on Dabao, who was sitting in front of the stove and making a fire.
Dabaobao was a truly exquisite, fair-skinned, and refined child. In the novel, he was a scholar who even passed the imperial examination and entered the imperial court, where he could make clouds and rain with a wave of his hand. With his talent, he could have become a famous official, his name passed down through the ages. Unfortunately, his values were distorted, he played power games, was ruthless, and was ultimately torn apart by five horses.
If she really left, the family would break up, and the three babies might follow the same path as described in the novel.
She really couldn't bear to see the three little ones end up with the same tragic ending as in the book.
Besides, Wei Qing was such a high-spirited man, she couldn't bear to see him become so decadent.
She is now the backbone of this family.
Tangli suddenly felt full of responsibility and motivation.
Even the kneading of the dough became faster.
Soon, the steaming hot buns came out of the pot. Tangli's buns were delicious, even better than those sold in the town.
Wei Qing ate five big buns in one breath, and he felt much better!
After a few days, the villagers discovered that Wei Qing's lame leg did not seem to have much impact on the family. Instead, the Wei family lived an even more prosperous life.
