Chapter 8 The Secret of Life



Chen Ahfu's nose was almost crooked with anger. Damn it, this man is too bad. If she had stronger hands, she would definitely use a shovel to knock a hole in his dog's head. Anyway, she is a fool now, and a fool does not need to take responsibility if he hurts someone.

But her hands were weak, she couldn't even lift a shovel, let alone hit someone. What she practiced best now was her mouth, she mobilized various organs in her mouth.

The man took out a few pieces of black candy from his arms, raised his eyebrows and whispered, "This candy is very sweet. Ah Fu, do you want to eat it? If you want to eat it, go out and play with big brother..."

Chen Afu suddenly spat out the saliva that had accumulated in his mouth at the man with all his strength.

Then she cursed, "Bah, your mother has big breasts and a big butt. Give this candy to your mother and have fun with her." Although she was still a little stuttering, her voice was loud, and her voice was like a broken gong, which sounded really scary.

The man was first spitted on and then cursed. He was shocked. He didn't expect that this idiot would not only spit, but also curse. The voice was loud and ugly, which was totally inconsistent with her delicate appearance. Looking at her eyes again, they were staring as if they were about to spit fire.

He wiped his face, clenched his fist and cursed, "You idiot, you dare to spit on me, I will beat you to death."

Wang heard the noise in the house and ran out with a broom in her hand, cursing as she ran, "You shameless bastard, I'll beat you to death."

The second beggar saw Wang holding a broom and a few passers-by looking over here, and he ran away in fear.

Wang dropped the broom, pulled Chen Ahfu aside and asked in a low voice, "Did the bad guy touch you?"

"No." To comfort Wang, Chen Afu added, "I spit on him and scolded him."

Wang sighed and said, "Ah Fu should go back to the house."

Chen Ahfu didn't want to go back to the hut. The air in the yard was fresh and conducive to activities, and there was sunlight to supplement calcium, which was very important for her recovery. She shook her head and said, "I won't go back. Mother, don't worry, I'm not stupid anymore, I won't be tricked out by others."

Wang was happy again and said with a smile, "Yes, my Ah Fu is well again."

Chen Ming had finished his meal and walked out and said, "Juan Niang, if Ah Fu wants to take some fresh air in the yard, let her stay there. I'll stay here with her."

After that, she sat under the eaves and wove straw sandals. Wang took the dirty clothes to the stream to wash, and then hurried back to embroider.

After Chen Mingbian finished writing for a while, he would take a break and cough a few times. Last night, he coughed from time to time, and sometimes he couldn't stop coughing, and it would take a full quarter of an hour to stop.

This should be tuberculosis. In the past, it was not considered a serious disease and could be cured by Western medicine. But in ancient times, this disease was considered a serious disease and could not be cured. It also required a good rest, good diet, and good exercise. If one thing was not right, it would lead to death.

This old man is really good, Chen Ahfu doesn't want him to die early. She remembered that Lin Daiyu had this disease, and it seemed that eating bird's nest regularly was good for this disease.

She also saw a legend on the Internet that Li Shizhen diagnosed a woman with tuberculosis and was helpless, saying that it could not be cured. Several years later, the woman appeared in front of Li Shizhen again. It turned out that she was rescued by a fisherman when she jumped into the sea to commit suicide. He fed her eels every day, and finally her disease was cured. She even promised to marry him and gave birth to children.

Although this legend is a bit exaggerated, modern medicine has also proved that eels can enhance immunity, improve yin deficiency, and are indeed highly effective in assisting the treatment of tuberculosis.

But how can this family, who is so poor, afford bird's nest, eel and other nutritional products?

As for A Yuan, Dabao said that A Yuan broke his leg when he fell from a tree while trying to steal bird eggs three years ago. The family didn't think it was that serious at the time. Chen Ming's illness happened to be serious at that time, and Chen Dabao was young, so they didn't pay much attention to him, thinking that he would get better after nursing him. Who would have thought that the best treatment period would be delayed, and little A Yuan would become lame. Wang cried a lot because of this, and Old Lady Chen scolded Wang severely, and she became even more disgusted with Chen A Fu and Chen Dabao.

Chen Afu felt heartbroken when he thought of that sensible younger brother.

I still have to exercise myself and make more money. Only with money can this family have hope.

Chen Ahfu kept walking, kicking her legs, and stretching her arms while thinking about ways to make money. She walked to the backyard, which was smaller than the front yard and had only a chicken coop and a toilet.

This house is too small, so they need to expand the yard and build a few more houses. She turned to the front yard and heard chickens crowing at the gate.

Chen Ming said, "That's our hen. I'm afraid it's about to lay eggs. Open the door and let it in."

Chen Ahfu opened the door, and sure enough, a chicken ran in and ran to the backyard. Not long after, a "cluck, cluck" sound came from the backyard, and Chen Ahfu found an egg in the chicken coop.

She smiled with her eyes curved and said to Chen Ming, "Dad, chicken is so smart." After saying this, she felt like she had really become an idiot and pooh-poohed twice inwardly.

Chen Ming laughed and said, "Livestock also have spirituality."

Chen A-lu and Chen Dabao didn't return home until noon, carrying the firewood on their backs.

After dinner, except for Wang who continued to be busy, the others all went to bed to take a nap.

When Chen Afu woke up, Chen Dabao was gone. She was lying on the kang doing oral exercises when she heard footsteps coming from the yard.

Then came Chen Ming's voice, "Mom is here."

An old woman's voice said, "Second brother, look at you, you're already working hard after you've gotten better. Your wife makes a lot of money, why are you still working so hard?"

Chen Ming smiled and said, "It's uncomfortable for my son to just sit there doing nothing. This job is not tiring, and I can earn a few coins."

Mrs. Chen said unhappily, "I already have a burden, and now I want to raise a wild one..."

"Mom," Chen Ming quickly interrupted Old Lady Chen and whispered unhappily, "Mom, don't say nonsense. Juanniang is a good woman, and she is also a poor child. Mom, don't say these hurtful words anymore. Your son doesn't like to hear them."

Old Mrs. Chen said, "I said this because I saw your wife, A-Lu, and Da-bao all went out, and that stupid guy didn't understand. I'm not cruel, I just feel sorry for you and A-Lu. If you didn't support these idle people, you could eat more good food, and A-Lu's leg wouldn't be delayed..."

Then there was a whisper. Chen Ahfu only heard one or two sentences clearly, something like your wife is leaning towards the previous one. Chen Ming tried to stop her but failed. She coughed in anger and the old lady stopped talking. She added, "Don't worry, the second brother and I have never told anyone about this. After raising her for more than ten years, I still have some feelings for that silly girl. But seeing that Ah Yuan is lame, I feel heartbroken..."

Chen Afu was completely awake. It turned out that there was a shocking secret in this body! If this was true, it was understandable that the old lady disliked her and Chen Dabao. After all, the family was poor and it was difficult to support their own people, let alone support outsiders.

Even though she had only been here for a day, she could tell that Wang was very kind to her. She was treated second best in the family, second only to Chen Ming. Moreover, she also spent money to support Chen Dabao, who would guarantee Chen Afu's life for the rest of his life.

Not only was Chen Ming not angry, he also treated them both as family members.

This man is not only kind, but also broad-minded.
