Chen Xiaofang paused for a moment, put the bowl back in its place, then walked to her mother-in-law and stood up, waiting for her instructions.
"Go sweep the leaves in front of the door again! Don't you see there are so many leaves?"
Wu Zhaodi ordered.
The father-in-law was drinking by himself and ignored Wu Zhaodi's scolding of his daughter-in-law.
After Chu Qi finished her meal, she put the bowl on the bedside.
It was only when it got dark that Chen Xiaofang had time to come in and clean up the dishes. Her lips were pale and her stomach ached slightly.
She took the bowl and walked to the door. She felt a black screen in front of her eyes and held onto the door frame for a while.
My hungry stomach growled.
Chu Qi frowned and said, "You haven't had dinner yet? Do you want to starve my son to death?"
Chen Xiaofang turned pale and replied weakly, "Mom said I didn't work hard today, so she punished me by not allowing me to eat."
Chu Qi's brows were knitted into a pimple.
She said without question, "Go to the kitchen and make something and bring it to my room. When mom asks you, just tell her that I want to eat it."
"Okay." Chen Xiaofang was a little confused. It was the first time her husband ate so much.
But she was used to following orders, so she didn't ask any questions and went straight to the kitchen to cook some more porridge, then took the pickles back to the kitchen.
Wu Zhaodi saw this and angrily yelled, "You're going to starve to death if you don't eat for a meal? You ignored my words, didn't I tell you not to eat? You son of a bitch."
Tears welled up in Chen Xiaofang's eyes, and she just said, "It's Gou Sheng who wants to eat."
Gousheng, the name of the original owner.
"Has his appetite been ruined after his legs were broken? He eats so much. He eats all day long. How can he not eat himself to death?"
Wu Zhaodi raised her voice.
But because he still had to rely on his son to make money, he didn't stop him from eating. He said in annoyance:
"Okay, if he wants food, send it to him. Don't let him starve to death."
"Yes." Chen Xiaofang hurriedly went in with porridge and pickles.
As she smelled the fragrant porridge, she felt even hungrier. Her stomach felt like it was burning after not getting any food for a long time.
Corroding Chen Xiaofang's sanity.
Her hand that was pulling open the curtain paused, she carefully looked around, and then took a sip of porridge.
The soft and glutinous rice grains mixed with the soup went down her throat, and she could hardly resist the urge to drink all the porridge.
Suddenly she heard a cough from inside, and her precarious sanity suddenly returned.
With a wry smile, she opened the curtain and brought the porridge in.
"Honey, your porridge is ready."
The room was lit with kerosene. There was no electricity in the village at that time, so every household usually turned off the lights and went to bed at night.
Chu Qi lit the kerosene lamp, and the dark room was finally lit up.
Chu Qi's face was dark with a prickly beard, but fortunately his facial features were regular. Although he was not handsome, he was not ugly either.
It's the ordinary kind.
"I won't eat anymore. You eat it." Chu Qi lowered the curtains and drove away the mosquitoes in the bed.
"Ah?" Chen Xiaofang was stunned.
Did she hear it right?
"What are you dawdling for? Just eat it if I tell you to." Chu Qi turned around, with a murderous aura that belonged only to the original owner's wife on her ordinary face.
Chen Xiaofang was startled and nodded quickly: "Okay, okay."
She hurriedly ate the porridge. The burning sensation in her stomach was relieved as the warm food went down her throat.
She couldn't help but feel a lump in her throat and started crying while eating.
She choked because she ate too quickly, coughed a few times, and then continued to wolf down the food.
Seeing that she had finished eating, Chu Qi asked, "Is there anything else in the kitchen?"
"There's one more thing." said Chen Xiaofang.
The little bit left in the kitchen was actually left by her on purpose.
Since she got married, she has been responsible for all the kitchen matters. It's as if everyone in the family suddenly lost their limbs and cooking skills and they don't know how to cook at all.
All depends on Chen Xiaofang.
She was thinking that when everyone was asleep in the middle of the night, she would secretly get up and finish the remaining rice in the pot.
But now her husband has let her eat it, so she doesn't have to get up in the middle of the night to steal the rest in the pot.
"Finish the pot, too."
Chu Qi said.
"Yes." Chen Xiaofang became happy, then went back to the kitchen, finished her meal, and washed the dishes.
When I returned to the room, I saw Chu Qi lying on the edge of the bed.
Chen Xiaofang said, "Wash your feet?"
Chu Qi: "No need to wash, go take a shower and come back to sleep."
If you don't move for a day, why do you need to wash your feet?
***
After taking a shower, Chen Xiaofang was wet all over, and the ends of her hair were quite wet.
Allen Chu noticed this and said with a dark face: “Why don’t you wipe your hair? What if you get sick and make my son feel uncomfortable too?”
Chen Xiaofang didn't understand why her child would feel uncomfortable when she was sick.
She said in panic, "I will go to sleep when my hair is dry. I won't get sick."
Chu Qi waved: "Come here."
Chen Xiaofang trembled, fearing that she would be beaten again.
But I saw him taking out a piece of clothing from the bedside.
Chu Qi took the original owner's shirt and dried Chen Xiaofang's hair.
"Okay, let's go to bed."
Chen Xiaofang nodded blankly and climbed into the bed.
Did her husband just wipe her hair?
She felt dizzy and wondered if her husband not only hit his leg but also his brain.
Otherwise how could he be so good.
It’s hard to describe the feeling, but Chen Xiaofang feels her heart swelling.
She closed her eyes, smelled the herbal scent in the room, and fell into a deep sleep.
The next day, early in the morning, the contractor from the same village came to Chu Qi with the compensation money.
"Gousheng, the compensation has arrived. Take the money and go to the hospital to get your leg fixed! Don't wait until it can't be cured!" The contractor put the money into Chu Qi's arms and patted her shoulder:
