Before Li Zhenzhen could even feel smug, she was slapped again!
"What, I'm not quite dead yet, and you're already trying to climb on the roof and take charge here?" Old Mrs. Li fiercely slapped Li Zhenzhen's left cheek.
A handprint immediately appeared on his face.
At first, she thought her second son's wife was a bit simple-minded, but at least she was good to her family. She never expected that her kindness was only for her own family, and now they even dare to drive her daughter away in front of her!
Will we starve them to death outside when they get old and can't move around anymore?
Li Zhenzhen had long been dissatisfied with her mother-in-law's favoritism, and today, for some unknown reason, she actually pushed the old lady to the ground.
All of this happened so fast that before the rest of the Zhen family could react, Old Lady Li collapsed onto the gravel, and blood began to flow from the back of her head for some unknown reason.
The whole family was terrified.
"mother!"
"grandmother……"
Zhen Wanwan was the closest and ran over immediately. She almost tripped over a stone, but she quickly steadied herself and rushed over.
Seeing her mother fall to the ground, Zhen Wanwan panicked.
What if he breaks his head? In the current conditions, a hole in the head is a death sentence!
"Mom, don't move! How are you feeling right now?"
Grandma Li felt her vision go black, everyone was blurry, and her ears were ringing.
"I feel extremely dizzy, and I can hear something calling in my ears," said Grandma Li weakly.
"Old woman, what's wrong?"
"Mother...you..."
Except for Li Zhenzhen, who was so frightened that she collapsed to the spot, the rest of the Zhen family members gathered around, and cries filled the air.
Zhen Wanwan didn't care about anything else. She disinfected her hands, then pressed on the bleeding area of Old Lady Li, and turned to instruct her elder brother to take the medicine box out of the donkey cart.
Seeing that the bleeding had stopped, Zhen Wanwan relented and then dispersed her family members to create more space.
After the first-aid kit was brought over, Zhen Wanwan quietly took out hydrogen peroxide from her spatial storage. After her older brother carefully helped Old Lady Li up, she took out scissors and cut Old Lady Li's hair short on the injured part.
The wound was a bit deep and would probably need to be stitched up. Zhen Wanwan looked around but couldn't find a doctor at all.
After hesitating for only a second, she decisively took out medical tools from her spatial storage, disinfected them, and then used hydrogen peroxide to clean Grandma Li's wound.
Zhen Wanwan took out her needle and thread, trying her best to overcome her nervousness.
"Mother, this wound is too deep. I'm going to stitch it up for you now. It will hurt a little, so please bear with it."
Grandma Li blinked, indicating that she understood.
Once the initial tension subsides, people begin to calm down. She saw the panic in Zhen's family's eyes, but fortunately, no one objected.
Seeing Zhen Fugui's slightly trembling hands, Zhen Wanwan comforted him, "Big brother, please hold Mother down for me and don't move around while I'm stitching her up."
"Okay, I understand, girl." Zhen Fugui's hair was already soaked with sweat, but her hands had stopped trembling, and she felt a little more at ease.
After half an hour, Zhen Wanwan finally finished treating her wounds. Only then did she realize that her back was cold and was already soaked with sweat.
Grandma Li's head was already wrapped in gauze, and no blood was seeping out. Seeing that there was no risk of infection, Zhen Wanwan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Girl, what do we do now?"
Zhen Fugui had long lost feeling in his hands and feet. Now that his mother's wounds had been treated, he didn't dare to move around and could only stare blankly at Zhen Wanwan.
"Sister-in-law, please spread the bedding on the flat ground, and remember to use a softer blanket for Mother as a pillow."
Zhen Wanwan was naturally referring to Wang Cuihua; she didn't want to look at Li Zhenzhen even once!
"Okay, okay, okay, I'll go right away." Upon hearing Zhen Wanwan's request, Wang Cuihua hurriedly ran to prepare the bed.
After settling Grandma Li in, it was already dark. Zhen Wanwan told Zhen's family that Grandma Li might have a fever that night, and everyone would need to take turns watching over her.
The whole family was busy half the night, and Zhenwan didn't even have time to eat dinner before falling into a deep sleep.
She was on edge all day, but slept very well tonight.
The morning sunlight is gentle and not glaring.
Zhen Wanwan stretched comfortably, she hadn't had such a good sleep in a long time!
Sudden.
She realized something was wrong!
What happened?
She looked around in confusion. There were only a few people guarding the luggage; the rest of the people were nowhere to be seen!
She looked up at the rising sun again; at this hour, they would usually have walked several miles.
What's going on?
Zhen Wanwan saw that her mother was already able to sit down against the tree roots, and next to her, Erni was poking at an ant nest with a twig.
Seeing this, Zhen Wanwan walked over in confusion: "Mom, where did everyone go?"
When Grandma Li heard her daughter's voice, she turned her gaze away from the donkey cart.
"This morning, Lin Biao spotted wild animals and led everyone to go hunting. The maid from that wealthy family also came to find us, saying she wanted to invite everyone to go up the mountain to find water."
Grandma Li answered weakly.
"I sent your sister-in-law and the children to fetch water, while your father and brothers went hunting with Chief Escort Lin."
Zhen Wanwan nodded, but she had many thoughts on her mind.
That's really strange.
Along the way, Siqin and the others rarely got off the carriage except for eating, drinking and relieving themselves. Every time the lady got off, she wore a face mask and was surrounded by a group of maids, making her difficult for others to see.
It's a bit strange that he actually took the initiative to chat with the villagers this time.
"Mother, let me change your dressing... The wound isn't infected..."
Zhen Wanwan gently changed the medicine for Grandma Li and fed her some millet porridge.
Erni also unexpectedly received a few cookies, which she carefully kept, not wanting to eat them at all.
I knew she wanted to keep it so her older brothers and sisters could share it.
Zhen Wanwan smiled and coaxed Erni, "I saved some for your older brother and sister, so don't worry about them. Just eat well..."
Erni looked at Grandma Li sensibly, and only after Grandma Li nodded did she eat in small bites, without dropping a single crumb.
The girl is so cute.
She couldn't help but imagine that she was carrying a girl, and that she would give her the best!
Old Lady Li's doubts grew, so she asked, "Were these foods also given to you by the immortal who taught you in your dream?"
After feeding Grandma Li a spoonful of porridge, Zhen Wanwan said, "I borrowed this from Siqin. I'll have to return it when I have the chance!"
Zhen Wanwan did not tell the truth to Old Lady Li; she would keep the secret of the space to herself for the rest of her life!
She was well aware of the story of "possessing a treasure is a crime," and now, during famine years, many families would even sell their own sons just to have a bite to eat!
How could she dare expose her private space?
Once she passes Luoping County and arrives at Luoyang Prefecture, she must go into the city to stock up on supplies and also take out the instant food from her spatial storage!
Heaven knows she drools over the meat in the space every day, but she just can't eat the delicious meat.
This feeling is awful!
"Mother." A weak voice came from inside.
