Ye Meizi smiled with her eyes curved: "I'm going to do something."
After saying that, he left in a flash.
Granny Li blinked a few times, stood up and went back to the house, looking at Qin Nian and said, "Why do I feel that your Aunt Geng is a little different today than usual?
Judging from her expression, it seems like there is some great joy to be had. Could it be that her husband Geng Feng is engaged?"
Qin Nian sat on a wooden stool with her feet closed comfortably. Two of her old skirts were placed on the kang.
It has been almost a month since she traveled through time. During this period, she went up the mountain every day to dig vegetables and do work.
He was able to eat his fill and drink spiritual spring water, and his body, which had been as weak as a dog's tail, became much better.
The face is not so pointed anymore, and he doesn’t look like the snake spirit in the Calabash Brothers anymore.
She had gained some weight, and her old skirt was a little tight, so it was very uncomfortable to wear. Qin Nian turned the skirt over to see if there were any wrinkles inside.
If there is, you can relax it a little.
Unfortunately, these two skirts were cut quite simply, without any pleats at the waist.
Qin Nian, who had never done needlework in her previous life, was looking at the two skirts and wondering what to do when she heard Mrs. Li say that Ye Meizi was different from before.
Qin Nian smiled and said, "Grandma, you can tell from their faces that they are having a happy event?"
"Xiao Nian, your grandmother has been eating salt for fifty-six years and has seen a lot. You can't doubt my judgment.
Let me tell you this, if I were in the army, I would definitely be a military advisor."
Qin Nian laughed so hard that he fell backwards: "You are fifty-six years old this year. Have you been eating salt since you were born?
A military advisor must be well-read in military books. You cannot be one if you cannot read."
Mrs. Li refused to admit defeat: "Children from poor families, when their mothers have no milk, they drink light salt water.
Drink it once a day every once in a while, wait ten months, and then eat your meals normally. Whose food doesn’t have salt in it?”
Isn’t this explanation weird?
Mrs. Li is quite good at making plausible arguments and comes up with golden sentences every day. Qin Nian is constantly amused by her.
"What about the military advisor? How can you be a military advisor if you can't read?"
Mrs. Li seemed not to have heard this and did not respond to the conversation at all. She changed the subject:
"Xiao Nian, just leave the skirt there. Your sewing skills are not good. A good dress becomes ugly after you sew it.
Grandma will help you with it later and make sure it won't be tight at all when you put it on. Now go next door and see if there's any happy event going on at Geng Feng's house?"
"I'm not going. Grandma, you're too curious."
As the two were talking, they heard someone enter the yard: "Is Xiao Nian home?"
It was Cuizhi's voice.
"I'm at home."
Qin Nian agreed and hurried out to meet her. Seeing Cuizhi holding a backpack, she smiled and said, "You made a special trip just for this."
Mrs. Li also came out: "Cuizhi, come in and sit for a while."
Cuizhi walked into the room quietly and sat down on the edge of the kang. No matter what she did, she was always careful, as if she was afraid of disturbing anyone.
"Sister Xiao Nian, did you help me pass on the message I asked you for?"
Qin Nian knew that Cuizhi was talking about asking Dong Biao to give money.
She shook her head: "I didn't see Dong Biao. Sister-in-law, if that's the case, I really——"
"It's really inconvenient to pass on Xiao Nian."
Mrs. Li decisively took over the conversation:
"Cuizhi, Xiao Nian didn't tell me about you and Dong Biao, but you asked her to help pass the message, and she was a little hesitant, so she told me.
Cuizhi, Xiaonian is a young girl who hasn't been engaged yet. She can't help you pass the message to Dong Biao.
Think about it, if Li Erhui finds out, will she scold Xiao Nian to death?
And Dong Biao's mother, her mouth is like a cesspool, and when she speaks it's like a person is peeing and pooping, how can Xiao Nian afford to offend them."
Cuizhi nodded slightly: "I understand, it was my fault for not considering it enough and almost got Xiaonian into trouble.
It’s okay that Xiao Nian told you about that thing. I can do it, so why can’t Xiao Nian tell you about it?
Besides, I was the one who asked her to pass the message to Dong Biao. She is young and doesn’t know what to do, so it is reasonable for her to find someone to discuss things with.”
Mrs. Li held Cuizhi's hand and said, "Silly child, in order to support your child, you had to follow that Dong Biao. I understand the pain in your heart.
But you have taken the wrong path. Once a woman takes that path, she will gradually find that the same pair of shoes can accommodate hundreds of feet. If Zhang San wears them, Li Xi will look for them, and then it’s all over.
Think about it again, how much money can Dong Biao give you? How much food can he give you? Every time he gives you something, it is not enough for the children to have a full meal, right?
Instead of relying on him, you might as well have a good chat with your man Sun Da Lei and persuade him not to be so lazy.
If we can’t farm during a drought, we can always go up the mountain to find some wild vegetables, right?
Living is hard. It's hard to support two children and a grown man by yourself."
Cuizhi's tears flowed down her cheeks: "I begged him, begged him so hard, but he either said his arm hurt or his leg hurt.
It is too difficult to ask him to go up the mountain to find some wild vegetables. "
Mrs. Li was infuriated by this: "Cuizhi, from today on, any wild vegetables you dig up should only be eaten by yourself and the children, and not a single one should be given to Sun Dalei.
You have to do something serious. You can't just let him be so lazy and keep him.
Don't be afraid of him hitting you, if he hits you, just fight back. Don't say you can't beat a man, just draw your knife against him and chop his shoulders and back.
I don't dare to do it. If you really want to chop, you can't kill it even if you chop in the places I mentioned.
If you dare to hit him once, I guarantee he will never dare to hit you again in his life."
Cuizhi was a little frightened by these words. She stared at Mrs. Li blankly with her eyes wide open.
"At noon, it was noon, Xiao Nian's old grandmother and her two brothers and a sister-in-law came.
If I were to take her back to sell her, I would use the knife. Mrs. Qin was so scared that she ran away faster than a rabbit.
Go home and sharpen your kitchen knife. When you have no one to rely on, you can use it to chop Sun Da Lei into pieces."
Cuizhi was silent for a long time, then slowly stood up and said, "Grandma Li, I'm going back.
Xiao Nian, I was not thoughtful enough and put you in a difficult position."
"Wait a moment."
Mrs. Li went to the kitchen and took out two cakes, wrapped them in a clean cloth and handed them to Cuizhi: "Take this back and give it to the children.
Remember, if you don’t give Sun Da Lei food, start with these two cakes. If you can’t be cruel to him, he will be cruel to you.”
There was surprise, joy, emotion and sparkling tears in Cuizhi's eyes.
She choked up and said, "Grandma Li, I'll remember what you said."
Cuizhi walked in front, and Li Pozi and Qin Nian followed behind. As soon as they walked out of the outer room, they saw Dong Biao and Dong Hu entering the yard.
Cuizhi's face turned pale at that moment.
Mrs. Li snorted coldly: "Dong Biao and Dong Hu, what are you two doing here?
You are not welcome in my home, get out of here now."
Dong Biao didn't expect Cuizhi to be here. He didn't know what to say for a moment and turned to look at Dong Hu.
Dong Hu spoke in a muffled voice: "Mrs. Li, Dong Biao and I are here to ask your little Nian something."
Hearing Dong Hu say this, Mrs. Li gently pushed Cuizhi and said, "You go back first."
