The grass that Suman was pulling was called blackhead grass. Pig farmers in the countryside also call it pig grass together with several other types of grass that can be used to feed pigs.
However, this type of pigweed is not as popular as the other types because it not only has fine serrations on the edges, but also has rough hairs on both sides.
Su Man knew about this kind of grass because when Jia Man was a child, she went to her grandmother's house in the countryside with her mother. She saw her grandmother cutting grass for pigs and clamored to help. Her grandmother had no choice but to give her a pair of toy scissors and let her cut grass for fun.
Jiaman cut off a few grasses and started to weave grass rings. Unexpectedly, small rashes appeared on her hands after a while. When she scratched them, large patches of small bumps appeared, which was shocking to see.
Jia Man looked at her with fear and burst into tears. When her mother found out, she couldn't sit still anymore. She picked up her luggage and took her back to the city to see a doctor.
After a series of examinations, it was discovered that Jarman was allergic to the grass, which caused contact dermatitis.
At that time, Jiaman's mother was surprised that he could be allergic to a grass.
The doctor explained that everyone’s allergens are different, and some people are even allergic to air or sound, which is normal.
When Jia Man's grandmother found out, she joked that Jia Man was destined to be a rich lady and could not touch these pig grasses.
This time the allergy was severe, and Jiaman had to receive intravenous drips for half a month before she recovered. Jiaman's mother, who was still frightened, took her to see the allergen several times and told her not to touch it next time she saw it, for fear that she would repeat the same mistake.
So Su Man recognized the grass when she passed by just now. While Li Xiang was not looking at her, she made up her mind and put the grass close to the root of her thigh.
"Xiaoman, are you ready?" Li Xiang kept urging Suman.
"Alright, alright."
Su Man came out from behind the tree and scolded, "You have to rush me to use the toilet."
Li Xiang laughed and said, "I'm afraid you might run into a snake. You're timid, what if you get scared?"
"Okay, I know you're worried about me. Let's go now and don't keep your uncle and aunt waiting anxiously."
Seeing that Su Man looked normal, Li Xiang felt relieved and pulled Su Man back to the ox cart.
After walking for about ten minutes, Su Man saw Li Xiang's hometown, Tieshan Village.
Li Xiang helped Su Man down and took her hand as they walked on the village road.
This place was even more dilapidated than Suman had imagined. Livestock excrement was everywhere on the muddy dirt road, and there were earthen houses without any decoration. A few children's clothes were hung on the forked branches.
A middle-aged man was squatting at the door of one of the earthen houses, smoking a pipe with his bare chest. When he saw Li Xiang, he greeted him in a familiar dialect.
Both of them spoke in dialect, and Su Man couldn't understand them at all.
As he was talking, the shirtless man turned his gaze to her, staring straight at her chest, and then slowly moved his gaze up to her snow-white neck above her collar. The naked and straightforward look in his eyes made Su Man frown.
However, Li Xiang quickly pulled her away and kindly reminded her to be careful of the mud puddles under her feet.
Su Man turned her head to look at the man who was still standing in front of the mud house and staring at her. "Who is that man? What are you talking about?"
"Oh, that person is my fourth uncle. He saw me bringing my girlfriend back and asked me to take you to his house for dinner."
After Li Xiang finished speaking, Su Man also had some impression that there seemed to be such a person.
Although Jiaman has lived in this village for several years, she is actually not familiar with it.
For the first two years, Jia Man was locked up in the cellar. Although she was allowed to go out for a walk occasionally after she gave birth to a child, she was only allowed to stay in her own small area. Not long after, she was beaten crazy for trying to escape, and she had no chance to go out.
So even though Jiaman lives here, Suman is still a little unfamiliar with this village.
Li Xiang and Su Man walked in while talking. They met acquaintances from time to time on the way, and Li Xiang greeted them one by one. When they saw Su Man, they all showed a tacit smile. There was also a young man who bumped Li Xiang's shoulder with a smile and gave him a thumbs up.
Just as the two of them exchanged glances secretly, a female voice with an accent sounded.
"You're finally back."
The woman who was speaking was about forty or fifty years old, with a somewhat rough skin, and wrinkles appeared at the corners of her eyes when she smiled.
She hurriedly took Su Man's hand, looked her up and down, nodded, and said, "This girl is really good."
Li Xiang smiled and patted the woman's shoulder. "Mom, Xiaoman just got here. Don't scare her."
After that, Li Xiang introduced Su Man, "This is my mother."
In fact, Su Man knew without Li Xiang introducing her that this person was Li Xiang's mother, Zhao Chunhua.
He has the mouth of a bodhisattva, but the heart of a rakshasa.
Zhao Chunhua didn't know what Su Man was thinking. She pointed at the two men following her and said, "Girl, this is your uncle, and this is my eldest son, Li Zhuang."
Because of years of hard work, they all look much older than their actual age.
Especially Li Zhuang, his hair was neither long nor too long, he was wearing a pair of slippers on his feet, and his nails were black.
Under the sticky hair, a pair of triangular eyes were looking Suman up and down, swallowing unconsciously, and scratching her thighs with her hands.
The moment she saw Li Zhuang, Su Man's heart couldn't help but beat wildly, and she was enveloped by fear and disgust.
This is the remaining emotion in Jia Man's body, which shows how much she hates Li Zhuang.
Zhao Chunhua seemed oblivious to Su Man's rejection and pulled Li Zhuang closer to her. "Boss, this is Xiaoman. We are a family from now on."
Before Su Man could reply, she was suddenly knocked away by a huge impact from behind. She couldn't dodge in time and was knocked off balance.
The next second she was hugged by a crazy man, "Xiao Wen, you're here, let's go, I'll take you away now."
