Chapter 29 Like a normal person
The old lady and Li Yuzhi whispered to each other.
"The fourth son's wife is a capable person. Seeing that the fourth son is happy, I don't know if she is willing to stay."
"Mom, I think my fourth brother's wife treats me very well, but... I don't know if my fourth brother's health will recover..."
If it's not good, then it would be a bit unfair to keep the person here.
To put it bluntly, Sang Ning'er has never enjoyed the wealth of the Marquis' Mansion. Now that she is willing to risk her life to help, it is already a great favor from heaven. Leaving her to be a widow is so unkind!
She is not like her sisters-in-law who have children around them.
Of course the old lady understood what Li Yuzhi meant, and this was exactly what she was most worried about.
But now the fourth brother has finally survived, and she sees that the fourth brother has feelings for Sang Ning'er. She is worried that the fourth brother will not be able to bear it if Sang Ning'er leaves.
"My poor youngest son, I didn't discipline him much since he was young. I thought he was the most fortunate and hadn't suffered the same hardships as his brothers. But I didn't expect that he would suffer the most..."
"If my body never recovers and I'm abandoned, I might as well die right then and there to avoid suffering these inhumane punishments!"
The old lady's voice was choked with suppressed sobs.
"I know what good girl would sacrifice herself to a useless man, but this is my only son. If he's gone, I'll just let him go."
"Mom, please stop talking. It hasn't come to that yet. It seems like my sister-in-law doesn't dislike my fourth brother at all..." Li Yuzhi also choked up.
Little Jintang, nestled in Li Yuzhi's arms, finally couldn't help it.
He would rather be beaten by his mother than make his grandmother and mother cry.
"Of course Fourth Aunt doesn't dislike Fourth Uncle."
"Aunt Four even wipes Uncle Four's cow."
In the minds of children, that is the place where people pee and is the dirtiest place.
So why would Fourth Aunt dislike Fourth Uncle?
The sobbing sound stopped.
Li Yuzhi thought her son was asleep so she discussed this with the old lady. This...
The deep night was so quiet that Xiao Jintang thought he was going to be beaten.
He is not a gentleman and looked at things he shouldn't have looked at.
Although it was his fourth uncle who asked him to do so.
But the slap I was waiting for never came.
The old lady asked quietly, "My dear grandson, have you seen...your fourth uncle's cow move?"
“Yes!”
Whose cow can’t move? How can it pee if it doesn’t move?
What my grandmother asked was really strange.
In the past, he had accidentally heard outside the toilet that Fourth Uncle and Uncle Ye were competing to see who could pee higher. Uncle Ye couldn't win, so he yelled in anger and cursed Fourth Uncle's Niu Niu for being too full to jump so high.
"God bless, thank God..." the old lady muttered excitedly.
Not useless!
Li Yuzhi patted her son's butt, but it didn't hurt at all.
"Go to sleep, you little brat! Don't look around anymore!"
There was no anger in my mother's voice; instead, it sounded a little amusing.
Anyway, she and her grandmother stopped crying.
Huo Jintang fell asleep peacefully.

The next morning, the old lady asked everyone to pack up everything and get ready to set off.
Sang Ning was shocked and very confused.
According to her, she might as well not leave, recuperate here, and then escape under a different name.
Why are you so stubborn!
"It's not that simple. Even if a convicted felon dies on the way, his body must be transported to Liangzhou for examination."
"Just wait and see, those bailiffs will come back to find us."
Huo Changan said with a serious look.
The old lady also added: "Yes, we need to rush to Liangzhou within the specified time, otherwise, I am afraid that the court will take action against the Huo family and in-laws."
Li Yuzhi and Xie Yurou both looked frightened.
Sang Ning cursed in his heart again.
Damn monarchy!
"Well, I'll pack some food, and we'll eat quickly while we wait for the bailiffs to arrive."
"Don't worry, we still have food from yesterday. You can take care of the fourth child first." The old lady said kindly with a smile in her eyes.
Oh, yes.
They were reluctant to finish it all at once and refused to listen to any advice.
Sang Ning'er helped Huo Chang'an go to the toilet first.
Huo Changan was unconscious, so every morning she would massage his belly to make him defecate once, so that his body would stay clean throughout the day.
But the boy had a strong sense of self-esteem, and he would feel ashamed every time he finished defecating and would not say a word for a long time.
Sonning looked at the carriage board and came up with a better idea.
She took an arrow.
That was the arrow that the horse bandit shot at Xie Yurou, and she grabbed it.
"Just wait a moment, it will be ready soon."
After saying something to Huo Changan, she bent down and started fiddling with the wooden board.
"Okay." The voice was gentle, neither anxious nor impatient.
Sang Ning looked at him in surprise.
The young man's eyes were clear, no longer gloomy. Seeing Sang Ning looking at him, he pursed his lips and lowered his eyelids.
A bit strange.
But that's a good thing.
This means he listened to what I said yesterday.
If you want to make yourself stronger, it is useless to blame the world or feel sorry for yourself.
Sang Ning gave him a crooked smile and continued with his actions.
Huo Changan felt that he had figured it out.
The reason why Sang Ning said that their marriage was in name only and that she was thinking about leaving in the future must be because of his attitude.
When we got married, he said a lot of heartbreaking things.
What do you mean we are only given a nominal relationship and won't be husband and wife in reality?
What do you mean she has bad intentions and no shame?
Anyway, it made people cry.
That must have broken people's hearts.
But she herself has feelings for him.
Otherwise, I wouldn't have wiped him off to such an extent...
Although he didn't intend to drag anyone down and ruin their life before he recovered.
But in terms of attitude, you should be nicer to your benefactor.
After Huo Changan figured out his thoughts, he wanted to make himself stronger as soon as possible.
She said that in a world where the strong prey on the weak, the stronger you are, the fairer it is.
"Jintang——" he shouted.
However, Jintang acted as if he didn't hear anything and followed Huo Jingya into the woods.
This brat!
Deaf!
Sang Ning used arrows to scratch the four corners of the board, then drew an inch down along the line connecting the four corners, raised his foot and stomped hard, and a square hole appeared in the middle of the board.
She found two flat stones and placed the board on top, leaving it hanging in the middle.
"That way you can make it easier for yourself!"
Sang Ning clapped his hands, wiped the sweat off his face, and said to Huo Changan with a smile.
It’s really convenient!
How did she come up with that?
It feels like you know everything.
If you can cook delicious food and say you practiced it before, this...
Huo Changan solved the problem of going to the bathroom by himself for the first time. He was very excited and wanted to cry.
He seemed a little more like a normal person again.
Huo Jingya pulled back a bunch of weeds and asked Sang Ning to identify which ones were edible.
This is originally the outskirts of the mountain, and the wild vegetables have been picked clean, so there is not much to eat.
"This is sorrel, it's poisonous."
"This is Japanese knotweed, it's slightly poisonous."
"This is Bamboo Spirit Elixir. It's poisonous, and the roots are extremely toxic."
"This Kochia scoparia is edible and great for making soup."
Huo Jingya's sad face finally brightened up, but unfortunately there were only two Kochia scoparia trees.
There was clearly food in the space, but Sang Ning couldn't take it out, which made him very depressed.
The peanuts are ripe, the soybeans are ripe, and the corn is ripe.
You have to come up with a reason.
"But we only have a little water left. Let's not make soup. If it's all used up, it'll be gone. With this scorching sun, we could die of thirst in just one day."
Sang Ning smiled and said, "It's impossible to die of thirst. Don't worry about water. There's water behind you."
"Ah?" Huo Jingya hurried to look for it.
After hearing this, Li Yuzhi and Xie Yurou also started spinning around.
But where is the water here? It's even drier than other places, not even a blade of grass grows!
"Don't turn it, it's not real water."
Sang Ning is funny, so I won’t keep you in suspense.
She just saw that there was a spindle bush here!
The main reason is that the leaves on it are almost bald, so I couldn’t recognize it at first. If I hadn’t seen a little rhizome exposed above the ground, I would have missed it!
The spindle is the Tyrannosaurus Rex of the plant world. No one can compete with it for water. If it grows too much, nothing will grow within miles around it!
"It's this kind of plant. Dig it up quickly. They are the best at absorbing and storing water. Be sure not to damage the rhizomes."
As Sang Ning spoke, he used an arrow to dig as a demonstration, and a rhizome as fat as a radish was pulled out.
