Chapter 57 The Thousand Thoughts in Li Rong's Heart
"Yes, brothers, Mom and I even bought you candy!"
"Ah Nuan, did you sell all the instant noodles and medicine?"
"Yes, it's all thanks to your sister. She found a big client and bought everything in one go, making over ten taels of silver in profit."
"Oh, right, I also bought a lot of medicinal herbs. Ping'er, put the herbs inside first. I'll make some ointment later."
Upon hearing this voice, Li Rong felt as if he had been transported to another world, and he even felt a surge of emotion that brought tears to his eyes.
However, deep down I felt it was absurd.
Lu Zhong was one of his top generals. Killing a woman would be as easy as plucking a hair. How did she manage to escape?
He thought to himself, "Perhaps I haven't met Lu Zhong yet."
My heart inexplicably jumped again.
Fortunately, there is still room for maneuver. If he recovers as soon as possible, he might be able to utter a word or two to stop this fool when Lu Zhong returns.
Jiang Nuanzhi came into the house shortly after.
Outside, Little Baozhu proudly told her two older brothers about what she had seen and heard that day.
Jiang Nuanzhi didn't pay any attention to Li Rong. As soon as she entered the room, she took out another dress that was neither quite red nor light red and changed into it.
She was overweight and sweated easily, which was really uncomfortable for her.
After changing her clothes, she turned around and was surprised to see that Li Rong had already woken up.
"Great, you're awake! How are you? Can you recognize people now?"
Jiang Nuanzhi put down the dirty clothes and went to see Li Rong.
Li Rong's face flushed red. He had countless words in his heart, but in the end, he didn't say a single word. He just kept blinking frantically.
"How many fingers are there? Blink your eyes as many times as you think it is." Jiang Nuanzhi held up three fingers and waved them in front of him.
Li Rong blinked three times accurately, and Jiang Nuanzhi nodded immediately: "Are you unable to move any part of your body right now? Can't you exert any strength? Do you even sometimes feel like you've forgotten how to exert force? If so, blink once, not twice."
Li Rong blinked.
Jiang Nuanzhi nodded: "Understood."
After taking her pulse again, Jiang Nuanzhi frowned and said, "Take it easy and don't get so agitated."
After thinking for a moment, Jiang Nuanzhi still offered a word of advice: "So what if you were humiliated by your fiancée? It's no big deal. Just remember, fortunes change, and don't underestimate a young man's potential. Take good care of yourself and get well soon, then you'll have a chance to turn things around."
Li Rong listened to her ramble on, but none of it was the key point, and he immediately started blinking frantically in frustration.
"Don't worry, I can definitely cure you. Don't listen to what other doctors say about you not being able to stand up again. It's okay. Your body has been overworked and is currently in a period of fatigue. You'll be fine after a while. Take it slow. You can't rush treatment."
After comforting him, Jiang Nuanzhi ignored him and led the children to unpack the things they had brought back, also tidying up the house along the way. She had disliked the room for a long time.
"Oh, right, Ah Nuan, Uncle Lu came today and left us ten taels of silver. It's to help us out."
The waiter said.
Jiang Nuanzhi: "Uncle Lu?"
Li Junping also came in to help, explaining, "He was Father's former colleague."
Jiang Nuanzhi: "He's such a good person. Why didn't you invite Uncle to stay for dinner?"
Li Xiaoer: "He said he went to help his father find that witch and take revenge."
Jiang Nuanzhi: "How could you be so reckless? I hope nothing bad happens. If he comes again next time, I'll cook something delicious to treat him."
Li Rong: "."
A good person?
You're the one who's supposed to be a good person and wants to be killed!
You even cook for people?
Looking at this woman, Li Rong felt that she and Lu Zhong were really comparable.
The other family members, of course, were unaware of his brainstorming session and were still chatting idly.
"Anuan, Grandma Wang came to help make clothes this morning. Your brother made yours first. You can wear it as soon as it's sewn up."
“Your brother is amazing. Thank you, Ping’er. But I have clothes to wear, and Baozhu has some for now. Ping’er, you and Xiao Er should wear yours first. Your clothes are so tattered they’re practically falling apart.”
As they talked, they cleared out the makeshift wooden planks that had been propped up on the ground.
They then used adobe bricks to elevate the table before placing the wooden plank on top.
Jiang Nuanzhi placed the four large baskets she bought under the wooden planks for storage, and used bricks and stones underneath to prevent moisture. One large basket was enough to store the messy animal hides, and the room immediately became much brighter.
She laid a straw mat on top of the wooden board. At that time, the mats woven by everyone were both beautiful and affordable, and she bought a large roll for five coins.
She cut a piece of suitable size and laid it out, then sorted and arranged the things she bought, and for a moment it actually had a certain charm.
They swept away all the cobwebs, big and small, from the walls and cleaned the floor. They hung up the newly bought curtains, which, although just the original color of linen, looked very harmonious. In an instant, the whole house was transformed.
"Is this really our old home? Ah Nuan, how come it's completely different after just a little renovation?"
Li Junping was also slightly stunned at this moment.
Little Baozhu clapped her hands happily, saying, "Mommy, Baozhu loves this room so much!"
As Jiang Nuanzhi and the children focused on tidying up the house, Li Rong's worries grew.
Even hearing her conversations with the children makes my heart clench.
Yet she was also relieved, thinking that as long as she didn't go out, the children would protect her, and that brat Lu Zhong wouldn't hurt her. There was still a chance.
But Lu Zhong, being so stubborn, might very well believe that the children were threatened and deceived by her.
In fact, Jiang Nuan didn't go out after that.
We cleaned up the room on the left with the children. A section of the wall on one side of the roof had collapsed, but upon closer inspection, the structure was actually fine.
The sturdy mud bricks collapsed at one point, and the children have been cleaning them up in their spare time these days. Ping'er has already found some thatch to cover the roof again.
The problem is this wall that has collapsed.
There was also a damaged earthen bed.
Without saying a word, he borrowed tools and a cart from Aunt Niu, and started mixing mud, cutting straw, and making adobe bricks.
They broke bricks from half the yard before returning the items, and also sent a bag of chestnut cakes as a bonus.
Aunt Niu never let Jiang Nuanzhi come empty-handed, and she brought her back dried green beans again.
Once the adobe bricks are made, they need to dry for two days. As long as it doesn't rain, they'll be fine; you can leave them there and leave them alone.
Once it's completely dry, we can repair the wall and then apply another layer of mud.
They also repaired the heated kang (a traditional heated platform bed) in the house. They smashed a small hole in the kang, mixed mud, and covered it up.
Take the mat that was laid on top out, rinse it, let it dry, and then lay it back on.
Some everyday items were cleared out of the room, including several books and writing implements, all stored in wooden boxes. They were undamaged and likely belonged to Ping'er.
