Chapter 7 It’s reasonable for me, with white hair and white eyes, to become an immortal, right?
Lin Cui Niang did not forget that Liu Ermei was coming over, so she specially left a pot of pickled fish.
Zhao Ping'an took the money given by the village chief yesterday and went to the village barefoot doctor who could only treat some injuries and bought some herbal medicine.
This medicine cannot cure typhoid fever, but it can slightly improve the problem of physical weakness. The cost of this medicine alone is very expensive.
Zhao Ping'an carefully carried the medicine bag home.
en route.
A few villagers greeted him from afar, but they didn't have the courage to ask how the child was doing. They could only remind him vaguely that the Zhao family was in a mess.
Everyone in the village knows that Mrs. Zhao is a very difficult person to deal with.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Ping'an was even more glad that he had signed the severance agreement. He didn't even need to think to guess what the Zhao family was quarreling about.
He quickened his pace and headed home.
Zhao family.
In the early morning, apart from Zhao Fu pretending to be deaf and dumb, Mrs. Zhao was crying and snotting, sitting on the ground and slapping her thighs and crying: "What sin have I committed to give birth to these two troublesome things, and the woman I married is not filial to her parents-in-law."
The Zhao family knew that without the second son and his wife, who had been working like slaves, their days would be difficult.
The autumn harvest season is approaching.
The crops in the fields need to be cared for more carefully, with fertilization, watering, weeding, and careful identification of insects.
These tasks are tedious and torturous.
That’s not all.
The chickens and ducks at home also need to be fed. This job was previously done by Yuan Ge'er, while washing clothes and cooking were all done by Zhao Cuiniang.
Early this morning.
Mrs. Zhao began to assign tasks, asking the family to work in the fields while she stayed at home to look after the children, and to cut grass, feed the chickens and ducks, and do the laundry.
However, the eldest brother's family has become accustomed to their parents' partiality to them, and Zhao Pingshun is somewhat unhappy: "How can three people finish such a large piece of land?"
Zhao Pingshun's wife Tian Xiaowan also subconsciously said: "Lin Ge'er can't leave me alone. Besides, I want to be a scholar's wife in the future. How can I do farm work every day?"
Mrs. Zhao was also unwilling to work, so she continued to beat her chest and cry.
Zhao Fu was annoyed when he heard this. "Okay, let the wife of the eldest family stay at home to work, and we will go to the fields to take care of the crops. We can't delay the autumn harvest."
The division of the family had already made the villagers laugh. If something happened again, wouldn't it be a joke to outsiders?
Mrs. Zhao didn't dare to cry anymore, but she felt even more sad and unhappy.
The atmosphere in the family suddenly became tense.
But no one wanted to go find Zhao Ping'an and his wife. They all held their breath and made Zhao Ping'an's family suffer. Then they kowtowed three times with every step and knelt in the yard in front of the whole village to beg them to come back...
The Zhao family members all thought of the second brother and his wife, who were suffering and perhaps even in despair. After making the comparison, the depression in their hearts barely disappeared by half.
Be patient for a while longer.
By then, the second son and his wife can continue to work like slaves.
…
At the foot of the mountain.
After Zhao Ping'an returned home, he told Lin Cui'niang to be careful during this period of time, as the Zhao family was in a state of unrest and who knew at any time that Mrs. Zhao would secretly come over to cause trouble.
Lin Cui Niang sneered when she heard this: "She is beautiful."
She is not someone who will swallow her anger.
Zhao Pingan heard this and hugged her with some distress: "I will protect mother when the time comes, and let her come to me if she has any problems."
The couple whispered about their future plans again.
About half an hour later.
Liu Ermei came over with her daughter.
Lin Cui Niang hurriedly called out, "Second sister, and little sister, please sit down. We have been waiting for you to come today."
Liu Xiaomei was timid and cowardly, and clung closely to Liu Ermei.
Liu Ermei asked Liu Xiaomei to call someone, and whispered, "That's Yuan Ge'er, he is also a very sensible and lovely child like my second sister."
Liu Ermei raised her head cautiously.
She was often ostracized and bullied by children of the same age in the village. Occasionally, she heard that there was a boy named Yuan Ge'er in the Zhao family who was also bullied like her.
She doesn't understand what a disaster is.
She only knew that the boy sitting there had smooth white hair and skin so white that it seemed to glow. She didn't feel afraid, but just felt that he was more handsome than all the children in the village. She inexplicably felt ashamed and lowered her head.
Bai Yuan felt the inferiority and anxiety of the little girl.
Sometimes he found it difficult to understand the complex and ever-changing emotions of human beings, but it was also difficult for him to ignore such a weak life that faced injustice and exclusion just like himself.
He thought about it and asked the system: "What do human cubs like?"
The system's data stream flashed, and it instantly searched out a huge amount of data and summarized it: [In ancient times, children who lived in poverty liked to eat candy and meat the most. ]
sugar?
Bai Yuan had never seen it or eaten it.
However, besides the meat, there is also delicious pickled fish stewed in the pot.
Bai Yuan walked over and asked, "Would you like to eat fish?"
The little girl's first reaction was to swallow her saliva. Before Liu Ermei could say anything, Lin Cui Niang smiled and said, "I'm afraid I can't cook egg custard for you this time."
Zhao Ping'an came out of the kitchen carrying a pot, "Try it, this is specially left for you."
A rich and exotic fragrance filled the room.
Liu Ermei swallowed her saliva unconsciously. Her body, which had not eaten meat for a long time, could not resist this physiological instinct and desire for meat.
Liu Ermei suppressed her instinct and her first reaction was to ask in shock and anxiety: "You risked your life to go down to the river to catch fish?"
Zhao Ping'an and Lin Cuiniang definitely couldn't afford to buy fish.
This fish could only be caught by Zhao Ping'an at the risk of his life from a nearby river. Even those in the village who were good at swimming did not dare to go to the river to fish every day, let alone someone like Zhao Ping'an who was not a good swimmer.
"We didn't go fishing in the river." Lin Cui Niang was touched and amused: "Of course we won't take risks, otherwise what will happen to Brother Yuan?"
When Liu Ermei heard this, she felt relieved.
She did not ask where the fish came from. The people in the village would not easily tell others where the pig grass grew best at the foot of the mountain.
Liu Ermei's thoughtfulness touched Lin Cui Niang, who was also embarrassed. She could only serve more food to Liu Ermei and Liu Xiaomei: "Eat more to replenish your body."
Liu Ermei's eyes reddened slightly and she nodded.
It was the first time for Liu Xiaomei to eat fish, especially a dish that was so delicious that she almost swallowed it. Her eyes sparkled, "It's delicious."
Liu Ermei felt heartbroken and blamed herself.
Zhao Ping'an and Lin Cuiniang also had red eyes. Bai Yuan absorbed these emotions beside them and remained silent.
After finishing the meal.
Liu Ermei thought for a moment and said, "This dish is probably better than any restaurant in town. Maybe you could try to sell the recipe?"
As for setting up a stall.
Liu Ermei knew very well that ordinary people who didn't even have any capital, how could they possibly make such a living, not to mention... a special existence like Yuan Ge'er.
Once you make money from setting up a stall.
The people in the village will definitely be jealous, especially the Zhao family. If the trouble gets out of hand, then if there is a drought or flood in the future, they will definitely blame it on Yuan Ge'er.
This does not even take into account the competition and jealousy from peers.
If people outside really bully Zhao Ping'an and Lin Cui Niang, the village may not protect them...
It would be better to just sell the recipe directly.
Zhao Ping'an and Lin Cui Niang heard this and asked, "Do you also think this is feasible?"
This was what the two of them had discussed before, but they had never decided whether to do this. After all, the Zhao family would definitely be more short of money than before without them working like slaves, and they might even come here to cause trouble.
For example, they slandered them for having obtained the formula a long time ago and were just waiting to split up the family so they could sell the formula, for fear that the Zhao family would benefit from it.
So many years have passed.
Although the villagers were still as wary of Yuan Ge'er as before, no one took the opportunity to cause trouble and try to harm Yuan Ge'er.
But once you sell the recipe and get money.
The couple was somewhat worried that someone in the village might become jealous and take the opportunity to cause trouble again.
After all, they had to pass through the road at the entrance of the village when they went out on weekdays, and there was no way for them to bring back the things they bought quietly.
As for moving away.
The couple didn't dare to think about this possibility for the time being.
After hearing what the couple said, Liu Ermei also fell silent, "It's my fault for thinking too simply just now."
She felt very guilty.
Lin Cui Niang sat over and said, "It's okay, you just want us to live a better life."
After Liu Ermei took her daughter away.
Bai Yuan finally spoke: "Why are you afraid of them?"
The couple was stunned.
The child standing there tilted his head slightly, with a hint of doubt in his white eyes.
The couple didn't know how to explain it.
However, the child standing there seemed to have figured something out on his own.
It turns out... he is not strong enough.
That's why the couple was afraid of the Zhao family, the people in the village, and all the dangers outside.
Bai Yuan did not forget that there would be a flood in a while.
Afterwards, someone in the village secretly reported the crime to the authorities, and the county magistrate brought people to arrest the original perpetrator, which resulted in the family of three being burned to death.
He had a little plan in mind.
At night.
Bai Yuan slowly opened his eyes, climbed off the kang, pushed the door open and left.
The moonlight hung high in the sky, and the village seemed to be covered with a layer of moonlight. A small figure walked through the muddy road, passed every house, and finally came to the gate of the Zhao family's yard.
Along the way, there was no barking of dogs or chirping of cicadas, as if everything had become quiet.
Bai Yuan stretched out his hand.
A small ball of black energy turned into a mist and rushed towards all the rooms in the village, except for Zhao Ermei and Zhao Xiaomei.
A judgment has come.
When all the villagers were sleeping, they were suddenly pulled into a strange place where black fog was swirling. All kinds of twisted and grotesque monsters appeared from it and were quickly swallowed up by the black fog.
The whole village was so frightened that they could not help but huddle together and tremble.
"Where is this?"
Some people couldn't help crying out: "Help, help!"
The next moment, a huge figure gradually walked out of the black fog, with strange horns on its forehead and gloomy and cold eyes, looking down at these tiny humans from high above.
This was a horrifying scene. The villagers were so frightened that they lost their voices in an instant and were so terrified that they almost fainted.
The huge figure waved his hand gently, and all the ghost faces around him fell silent, as if they were submitting to him.
This momentum made the villagers even more frightened.
The huge monster's eyes were cold and his voice was booming: "Who pushed my friend into the lake?"
My...my friend?
Still pushing the lake?
All the villagers were shocked and confused.
They were just ordinary mortals, how could they possibly push this... friend of the Monster King into the lake? They were so scared that they didn't even have time to react.
The village chief was both afraid and anxious. He mustered up his courage and said in a trembling voice, "My lord, we are innocent. No one in the village has ever pushed your friend. Did you go to the wrong village?"
The villagers were about to echo the voice of a twisted tree nearby when they heard a sharp cry: "My lord, these humans are lying! I saw these humans push Yuan Ge'er into the lake!"
The villagers stopped crying suddenly, their eyes widened, and their brains buzzed.
What? !
Brother Yuan... ?
All the villagers suddenly remembered that a few days ago, Brother Yuan was indeed fished out of the lake and almost lost his life.
Thinking back to what Zhao Ping'an and Lin Cuiniang had accused yesterday of Lin Ge'er and other children of pushing people into the lake, they slowly retreated in a daze, exposing all the Zhao family members and the parents of those children in the center circle.
The Zhao family and several villagers turned pale and were filled with disbelief.
How is this possible?
Who could have thought that the disaster star... would have such a terrifying and powerful monster friend to seek justice for him.
