Liu Cuihua lowered her eyes, a hint of disappointment in them. Was it still early? Wasn't it already dawn?
Li Changgeng grabbed Liu Cuihua's hand and gently comforted her, "Don't worry, with Madam here, nothing will happen to that brat..."
"Mmm..." Liu Cuihua's voice was choked with sobs, unable to speak. She leaned on Li Changgeng's shoulder, sobbing intermittently, feeling a little panicked for some reason.
Li Changgeng's back stiffened, and he gently pulled Liu Cuihua into his arms, feeling deeply guilty. He blamed himself for being incompetent and for making Cuihua suffer all these years...
Liu Cuihua sensed Li Changgeng's strange behavior, pushed him away, and blushed: "At your age, can't you be serious for once?"
Li Changgeng: "..."
How is that inappropriate? Wasn't it because you were afraid of upsetting your wife that you gave her a hug?
Liu Cuihua glared at him angrily, then turned to wash up. That stinky man was right; she couldn't go to Mo Niangzi's house looking disheveled. She wasn't afraid of losing face herself, but she was afraid someone would use it as an excuse to gossip.
Humans, greed knows no bounds... Liu Cuihua seemed to have matured a lot in an instant. It's good that the second son is suffering. He's always been carefree and thinks he's the smartest person in the whole village.
snort!
I'm not in a hurry...
Seeing Liu Cuihua busy with chores, seemingly forgetting about going to Madam Mo's house, Li Changgeng blinked, then blinked again.
Liu Cuihua looked up and glared at Li Changgeng: "What are you standing there for? Go cook for me."
"Hey..." Li Changgeng responded, then belatedly realized that something was off about the situation.
"No... Cuihua..."
"Shut up! Do you want your grandson to starve? You old geezer!"
"..." Li Changgeng was innocently caught in the crossfire, and with a sense of despair, he followed his fierce wife toward the kitchen.
As soon as Grandma Li stepped out, she saw her daughter-in-law looking like a wronged little wife. She shook her head helplessly. Her daughter-in-law had become quite capable. She didn't know whether to cry or laugh.
Li Yuanfeng's lips twitched, and after a while he came over and placed the pile of chopped firewood in the southwest corner.
Grandma Li's eyes were full of heartache: "Feng-ge'er, you don't need to get up so early..."
"Grandma, I'm fine, I just can't sleep..." Li Yuanfeng smiled sheepishly. Ever since his wife ran away, he often couldn't sleep. He wondered if she was sick.
Grandma Li's eyes flickered slightly. It was time to put her eldest grandson's wedding on the agenda. If things continued like this, he might develop health problems...
An hour later, Liu Cuihua had no choice but to bring Li Changgeng to Mo Qingcheng's house.
Mo Qingcheng and the others had just fallen asleep when Bai Yueniang and Shangguan Yunxi came to greet them one after the other.
“Sister-in-law, Sister Mo has just fallen asleep. Please come with me…” Bai Yueniang said softly.
Liu Cuihua nodded, still somewhat dazed. "That brat isn't dead, is he?"
Following Bai Yueniang with trepidation, Li Cuihua felt a mix of emotions. She gritted her teeth, determined that as long as the brat didn't die and didn't develop any lasting health problems…
Bai Yueniang remained silent the whole way. Last night was full of close calls, and when she heard about it this morning, she broke out in a cold sweat. Who would be so cruel as to harm a half-grown child?
Pushing open the guest room door, Li Yuanlin lay quietly on the bed, his face pale and bloodless, but his breathing was steady, clearly indicating that he had passed the critical period.
Liu Cuihua's tears fell in droves: "You brat, you've finally behaved yourself, haven't you?"
Li Changgeng felt a pang of sadness. His second son was quick-witted; it seemed there was serious trouble with his third grandmother…
No, the second brother went to find Tiezhu. Could it be that something happened to Tiezhu as well?
Li Changgeng grabbed Liu Cuihua's wrist: "Cuihua, should we tell Madam what happened?"
"Ah? Oh right..." Liu Cuihua slapped her forehead: "Well, Madam Bai, we have something important to tell Lady Mo..."
