Li Aihua had eaten this candy once, and when she saw the wrapper, she was a little surprised, "Where did you get it from?"
"Doctor Zhao gave it to me." Hu Lin said, and mentioned in passing, "You can eat the candies in the closet if you want. I don't like these."
The candy that Yang Qing gave her last time was placed in the cabinet and no one has touched it since.
"Yeah." Li Aihua smiled, holding the candy in her hand, and looked at Hu Lin who went back to the house to rest, feeling deeply moved.
Her daughter is so good to her! She has to be good to her daughter too.
Li Aihua made up her mind and put all the oil into the cupboard, even the soybean oil used for the oil lamp, to avoid being attacked by rats.
He locked the door, covered the stove with a wooden lid, and then went to wash up.
After resting for a few days, Hu Lin resumed his usual exercise and went to check the place where the traps were set.
The only trap was intact and no animal fell into it. Seeing this, Hu Lin repaired the previously damaged trap.
It seems that it was mostly luck that allowed us to catch the chicken last time, but it did help us out of an urgent need.
During this period, she doesn't have to worry about her livelihood and can exercise well.
The days just pass one by one.
Yang Qing came to eat for free several times. Because of the vegetables and the fact that he would consciously start the fire every time he came, Hu Lin reluctantly began to like him.
A few days before Hu Zhu's wedding, the third wife who lived away and the fifth wife who got married came back.
In the evening, Hu Xiaoyi came back from work and told this matter.
He also said that the women in the family had not been working these days and were at home preparing the banquet, so he asked the two of them to go to the Hu family to help.
Hu Lin didn't want to go at first, but because Li Aihua was not yet able to handle things on her own, he had to agree.
Early in the morning, after Li Aihua cleaned up the house, she and Hu Lin set off for Hu's house.
Li Aihua was in a hurry all the way, as if there was a dog chasing her.
Hu Lin was not in a hurry and walked slowly along the way. Soon, he fell behind Li Aihua.
Li Aihua didn't notice it either, and Hu Lin was too lazy to call her.
The Hu family, which had separated out the first house, was still very lively, especially when the people from the third and fifth houses came back. The house was no longer big enough for them and they had to sleep in a crowded space.
The men in the family have all gone to work, and the yard is full of women busying around.
Because it was the first time that a young member of the Hu family got married, and the eldest grandson, they killed three chickens to make the wedding look extra grand.
This is also to let the neighbors see the strength of the Hu family and to make it easier for the children to find marriages later.
When Li Aihua entered the room, she saw several people killing chickens and collecting blood in the yard.
Cao Zhaodi, who had sharp eyes, saw Li Aihua and quickly shouted, "What are you standing there for? Go to the kitchen and get some water to scald the chicken."
When Li Aihua heard Cao Zhaodi's voice, she shuddered and hurried to the kitchen to get water.
Cao Zhaodi did not let Li Aihua go and continued to scold her, "Lazy woman, why don't you come later? Are you coming now because you want to have lunch?
No way, go home and eat. You've only been out for a short time, and you're already sitting there doing nothing. If you keep eating for free, sooner or later the boss will divorce you."
As soon as Hu Lin stepped over the threshold, he heard Cao Zhaodi yelling and cursing.
Then he continued, "I also want my mother to divorce your son quickly, but your son won't do that?"
Cao Zhaodi was in the middle of cursing when someone suddenly interrupted her. She frowned and looked over. Just as she was about to lose her temper, she saw Hu Lin standing at the door.
Unlucky star!
The skin around the corners of Cao Zhaodi's mouth trembled.
Hu Lin admired Cao Zhaodi's frustrated look and greeted her in a good mood, "Long time no see, grandma!"
I hope she can do something, life has been a bit boring lately!
There is nothing but training every day, and no other entertainment activities. It is very boring.
"What are you standing there for? Come over here and work." Cao Zhaodi looked at Hu Lin viciously.
Hu Lin at this moment has changed a lot from before.
His hair was longer, like a hedgehog, and he was whiter. Although his clothes were patched, he looked clean and refreshed.
At this time, Li Aihua brought hot water from the kitchen, and the second and fourth wives put the killed chickens into the boiling water.
These two people have not had a good time recently. They both have sallow complexions and look listless.
Without Li Aihua to take care of the housework, Cao Zhaodi didn't take care of mending clothes and shoes, so they had to mend them themselves after work.
Occasionally, they are asked to help with housework, squeezing out their little remaining rest time.
They would be scolded from time to time, and day by day, they looked more and more haggard.
In comparison, Li Aihua looks much healthier.
Hu Lin saw it and was very satisfied.
After this period of recuperation, Li Aihua finally looks less sickly.
But from now on, it will be difficult to ask the village chief for medical expenses.
The wound on the back of her head has completely scabbed off, leaving behind a pink scar. It's almost been three months, and it's impossible for her injury to continue unhealed.
Besides, Yang Qing came to his house for dinner from time to time. Although he had drunk Chinese medicine in front of him several times, the village chief's family would become suspicious if it dragged on for too long.
Now is not the time to expose her use of nutritional supplements.
Seeing Hu Lin leaning against the door in a daze, Cao Zhaodi took a few steps forward and asked, "You silly girl, are you deaf? Can't you hear me when I asked you to come over to work?"
Cao Zhaodi was holding a chicken-killing knife in her hand, and her ferocious look made Li Aihua tremble with fear.
"Why should I work? They are so much older than me, why don't they work?" Hu Lin glanced at the people in the hall.
There were a few people in the hall whom she had never seen before. They should be the children from the third room. They were playing with Hu Jiaoqiao's son Zhao Chang.
There were some candies, biscuits, fruits and some toys on the table.
Myolie Wu, the youngest in the family except her, is working, but these ones are playing. They are treated very well!
"How can you compare with them?" Cao Zhaodi said as if she had heard a joke, "They are all city people who have never worked before. How can a country girl like you compare with them?
Come and work honestly, or you won’t have lunch.”
After hearing what Cao Zhaodi said, the three siblings and Zhao Chang looked at Hu Lin, and then continued to play their games.
To them, Hu Lin was just an insignificant little character, and it was a great honor for Hu Lin to be able to be seen by them.
"I don't like the food you cook either. You've lived in vain to such an old age and still cook such terrible food."
Hu Lin responded with one sarcastic remark after another.
"Oh, it's not like I've lived in vain. After all, being old does have its advantages. No one can compare to you in terms of bad breath. When you speak, it's like you're spewing feces. It stinks."
Damn, city people are so great? Why is she showing off here?
She said it as if it were her own!
What will happen to the city dwellers in a few years? They still have to work in the fields to make a living.
Considering their age, it’s a good time for them!
