Zhang Xiangyun took Pei Xiaodan to the commune clinic, where she ate two pagoda candies and came back with parasites in her stool.
Sure enough, what Ruan Niannian said was right, it was the roundworms that were causing the problem.
What Ruan Niannian didn't expect was that Zhang Xiangyun actually brought Pei Xiaodan to her house at night.
"Quick, San Ya, kneel down and kowtow to your aunt."
Pei Xiaodan did as she was told without saying a word, she knelt down and kowtowed three times. The poor little girl had been suffering from diarrhea for so long, and as soon as she felt better she was pulled to kowtow.
Ruan Niannian quickly stopped her, "What are you doing? Xiaodan, get up quickly."
The skinny little girl was so light that she was pulled up from the ground by Ruan Niannian. She looked at Zhang Xiangyun again, "Second sister-in-law, Xiaodan just got better, why did you ask her to kowtow? Besides, why should she kowtow to me?"
She pulled Pei Xiaodan up, but Zhang Xiangyun still knelt down, "Fourth brother's wife, I had a problem with my brain before, always complaining about this and that, but I won't do that anymore. I'm really grateful to you this time. If it weren't for you, our San Ya might not be alive. If you don't let San Ya kowtow, I'll do it for her!"
"Second sister-in-law, get up quickly! Aren't you shortening my life?" Ruan Niannian hurriedly tried to pull her, but she hid, not letting Ruan Niannian touch her.
Pei Yuanzheng, who was washing dishes in the kitchen, heard the noise and ran out quickly. Seeing Zhang Xiangyun kowtowing, he walked over and pulled Ruan Niannian behind him. "Even if it wasn't Xiaodan today, but some other child I don't know, my wife would have said a few more words if she found out about this. This is her kindness. It doesn't mean that if you kowtow a few times, you will have a clear conscience and you can ignore these things when you make trouble in the future. We all know what you are thinking. Don't bother my wife."
Pei Yuanzheng's words were very harsh to his sister-in-law, as they directly trampled on Zhang Xiangyun's character.
"I, I didn't." Zhang Xiangyun felt that she had no way to defend herself. She had acted like that before and always annoyed Ruan Niannian because she wanted the couple to give her and Pei Qingbai a way to survive. She did it for the child too!
Pei Yuanzheng saw through this kind of thinking and despised it.
If she really wants to do good for the child, she should build good relationships with them instead of using threats, moral blackmail, or kneeling here and kowtowing a few times in an attempt to erase the good intentions of the couple.
Pei Yuanzheng snorted coldly, "Go back, sister-in-law. We can pretend that you have never been here tonight. If you don't leave, I will call my second brother to take you back."
Neither Pei Yuanzheng nor Ruan Niannian showed the slightest bit of mercy towards Zhang Xiangyun.
After Zhang Xiangyun took Pei Xiaodan away, Pei Yuanzheng looked Ruan Niannian up and down, and was relieved to see that she was unharmed.
"Wife, don't see her next time she comes. Doesn't she want Pei Xiaodan to kneel? As long as she is willing, just let her kneel. We will just pretend we didn't see it."
Ruan Niannian knew that Pei Yuanzheng was just saying that out of anger, and that they both actually had the same intention.
She held Pei Yuanzheng's hand and calmed him down. "Husband, I never feel soft-hearted towards adults. You reap what you sow. Everything they have suffered is what they deserve. But you also know that I can never be hard-hearted towards children. The children are still so young and ignorant, but their lives may be ruined because of their parents' mistakes. I really can't ignore it."
"I know, I understand." Pei Yuanzheng put his hands on her shoulders and looked straight at her. "Whether it's Pei Xiaoxiu, Pei Jianhui, Pei Xiaodan, or even Mu Tou, you have felt compassion for them. I'm lucky that my wife is a kind person."
Kind? Ruan Niannian didn't think so.
She was just weak.
As for Liu Panpan, who killed her in her previous life, she always felt that what happened in the previous life had not happened yet. How could Liu Panpan be directly sentenced to death?
It was not until Liu Panpan forced her step by step to the point where she was almost on the same path as in her previous life that she was passively sent to the classroom.
If Pei Yuanzheng had not listened to her explanation in this life, she might have been killed by Liu Panpan.
She began to try to make herself strong, to stop worrying too much and to be a little more ruthless, but she couldn't do it.
Like with Li Dani, she was so filled with hatred that she took the lead in revenge. She didn't even have to make any in-depth plans, Pei Yuanzheng did everything for her.
It was not until Li Dani passed away that she realized that she had never expected to achieve this.
She is actually making progress, right?
Just as Ruan Niannian was thinking, she heard a gurgling sound from her stomach.
"Hungry?" Pei Yuanzheng chuckled. "Sister-in-law is right. She said you will be hungry tonight. I drank a bowl of soup first and ate less than usual. Go in and wait. I will lock the gate and serve you a bowl of soup."
After seeing him finish his instructions and go to lock the door, Ruan Niannian turned back and went into the house and sat down at the dining table.
After waiting for a while, Pei Yuanzheng came in with a large bowl of black chicken soup that Li Jinhua had kept warm on the stove.
"Eat quickly, wife, eat more. My sister-in-law said it's best not to leave it until tomorrow." Pei Yuanzheng put the black chicken soup in front of Ruan Niannian.
Ruan Niannian drank a sip of soup and then scooped up the black beans in the bowl to eat. It is said that black beans can prevent hair loss. I wonder if it is true?
I have heard some sisters-in-law, aunts and mothers in the village discuss that they have severe hair loss after giving birth, and eating black beans can relieve the problem. So if she eats more, can she stop the hair loss?
There are also Codonopsis pilosula and wolfberry, which are also delicious and sweet. She put the black-bone chicken at the end.
While drinking soup and eating black beans, Ruan Niannian asked Pei Yuanzheng, "Why did you lock the gate? Brother Lang and Xinghua haven't come back yet."
They went to the neighboring commune to watch an open-air movie with Pei Hehui's group of kids tonight. They don't know when their commune will also show a movie.
"Don't worry about them, wife, you eat your own food. Brother Wolf will find a way to get in when he comes back. If not, let them stay at the third brother's house for a night." Pei Yuanzheng said nonchalantly.
He now regretted letting Pei Qinggang live in their house.
His wife was rather shy when she first came, unlike him, who had been in the army for seven years and had become as thick-skinned as a city wall. Ever since Pei Qinggang moved into their house, Ruan Niannian had lost her previous enthusiasm for that matter.
Pei Yuanzheng wanted Pei Qinggang to move to Pei Qingyang's house more than once, but Pei Qingyang refused on the grounds that "I have a single sister-in-law at home, it's not convenient."
Now that Wu Xinghua has moved directly to their house to take care of Ruan Niannian, isn't it inappropriate for Pei Qinggang to continue living in their house?
Pei Yuanzheng, who was determined to "drive away" Pei Qinggang, ignored the fact that Wu Xinghua was also an outsider. How could Ruan Niannian be completely relaxed when an outsider was around?
Ruan Niannian drank most of the black chicken soup, burped, and pushed the rest to Pei Yuanzheng, "I can't eat anymore, you eat it."
