Seeing this, Su Luo shouted, "Baby, come here!"
Gu Yi was already used to her corny name and walked in: "What's wrong?"
Su Luo saw that his left eye was rubbed red, and after thinking for a while, she felt that it was time to give him some psychological preparation, so she asked: "Have you been feeling itchy in your eyes recently?"
Gu Yi's face froze: "No..."
He has reconciled with Su Luo now and doesn't want her to recall the unpleasant things in the past.
Su Luo rubbed his head: "Actually, there is something I didn't tell you. When I went to the county a few days ago, I met a traveling doctor who sold medicine. He sold me a bottle of magic water, saying that drinking it could cure all injuries on the body. I wanted to cure your eyes, so I secretly mixed the water into the food you ate."
Gu Yi looked at her blankly, "Mom, what do you mean?"
Su Luo said, "I think that the potion may have really worked. If you feel itchy eyes recently, don't scratch them. Maybe the wound is getting better. After a while, when the scar falls off, you may be able to see again. Look, hasn't mom lost a lot of weight recently and her skin has become whiter? It's also because of the magic water she drank!"
Gu Yi couldn't believe his ears: "Can your eyes be healed?"
He was so anxious that Aunt Niu carried him, whose face was covered in blood, to the town clinic. The doctor looked at him with sympathy and helplessness, and said to Aunt Niu, "It's hopeless. The baby's eyeball was punctured. It's lucky that the wound didn't infect the brain, otherwise he might not survive."
Later he survived, but he was blind and had a scar on his upper and lower eyelids. Because he was not taken care of properly, they grew together and stuck together, so he couldn't even open his eyes.
For a long time, he didn't dare to look in the mirror, didn't dare to open his eyes to wash his face, didn't dare to go near the well, and didn't dare to go near the river, for fear of seeing the ugly and hideous other half of his face.
Su Luo looked at him apologetically: "I'm sorry, it was my fault before. I saw that this potion seemed to be somewhat useful, so I gave it to you to try. Anyway...if your eyes are itchy recently, please don't scratch them first, okay? Maybe the eyeball inside is healing."
Gu Yi didn't even dare to think that there would be a chance for his eyes to get better.
He hesitated and opened his right eye to look at Su Luo. After a long while, he tried hard to hold back his tears. "Doctor, can you trust me?"
Su Luo looked at him like a poor injured puppy, her heart softened, and she looked at him with bright eyes: "Can you believe it? Look, hasn't mom lost a lot of weight? Our family has had such good food recently, and I have lost so much weight, and my body is getting healthier and healthier. Doesn't this just prove that the magic water is working?"
Gu Yi met her bright eyes, and hope gradually lit up in his eyes. He looked at Su Luo with sharp eyes and nodded vigorously: "I believe in my mother!"
Su Luo felt a warm sensation in her chest, perhaps because of the bond between mother and son, or perhaps because of blood ties. She felt distressed and touched when she saw Gu Yi's expression. "Everything will be fine, don't be afraid."
*
It has been a busy month for more than half a month.
The news that Su Luo's family had improved their food gradually became known to others.
After all, the smell of food wafts out from her doorstep from time to time.
Although Su Luo had carefully wrapped up the bone residues of various foods and secretly taken them out to feed the dog, the mother and son had been cooking and eating in the kitchen and had never taken the dishes out, but the aroma of meat wafting from the cooking process gradually became difficult to cover up.
The villagers who passed by her house occasionally came back from work and could smell the aroma of meat. They would greet her outside and ask, "Xiao Luo, what delicious dish have you made? It smells so good!"
Su Luo would always shout in the kitchen with a smile: "No! I'm stewing the meat!"
But over time, the taste of dishes such as braised pork, braised fish, Kung Pao chicken, spicy pork trotters, etc. is very different from braised food.
She tried to cover it up for half a month, but the rumor still spread.
Everyone in the village was saying that Su Luo was making a lot of money by selling braised meat.
Others are okay, but the original owner’s father, Su Jincai, is a troublesome person.
The old dog will definitely come to her house smelling the money.
As expected.
That day, Su Luo had just paid the chicken farm and was carrying more than ten pounds of chicken into the kitchen to process it. Gu Yi was there to help boil water.
There was a sound of kicking the door outside.
Someone entered the yard.
"Su Luo! Your father is here to see you, come out and see him!" The voice of her eldest cousin Su Sheng came from outside.
Su Luo frowned. When she heard that Su Jincai was coming, she knew that something bad was going to happen.
Although Gu Yi was only seven years old, he obviously didn't have a good impression of Su Jincai. Hearing this, he looked at Su Luo worriedly.
Su Luo patted his head soothingly: "You watch the fire in the stove, Mom will go out and take a look."
Su Luo opened the kitchen door and came out. She happened to see Su Jincai standing at the kitchen door. He stretched his neck to stare inside. When he saw so many chickens on the chopping board, his eyes widened. "Wow."
Su Luo's eyes sank slightly, and there was a strong sense of oppression in her eyes.
Su Jincai suddenly met her gaze and subconsciously took two steps back.
Su Luo frowned and asked, "What are you doing here?"
Su Sheng was still trying to smooth things over: "Look at you, why are you so distant? Third Uncle just came to see you."
The third uncle he called was Su Jincai.
Su Jincai met her cold face and said, "You money-loser, why are you looking at me like that? I came here with good intentions to see if you were dead, but I saw it wrong, didn't I?"
Su Sheng quickly held him down and shook his head secretly.
Su Jincai remembered his intention and restrained himself a little. He snorted coldly and turned his face away and stood aside.
Su Sheng said to Su Luo with a smile: "Xiao Luo, we just came to see how you are doing. Look how you have lost so much weight? You look haggard and pale. Have you not been eating well recently? Or are you too tired?"
Su Luo has indeed lost a lot of weight. When she first came here, she weighed more than 170 pounds. Her original body was only about 165 cm tall. Although she was not short, she was indeed too fat at more than 170 pounds.
She has been drinking Lingquan these days, and she has to squat in the toilet every night to expel oil. Now she has lost weight to almost 140 pounds. She is still fat, but not as exaggerated as before.
Her skin is several shades whiter than before, and her watery almond eyes and smooth oval face have begun to take shape.
Su Jincai snorted coldly, "Don't say such polite words to her! She may be thinner, but her complexion is good and rosy. You can tell from the fact that she is fed with good food and wine every day. What kind of hardship can she endure?"
Su Luo glanced at him coldly.
Su Jincai turned his head away and muttered, "People in the village say that she has made a lot of money. Every day when I pass by her house, I can smell the aroma of meat. Today it's braised pork, tomorrow it's braised chicken, and the day after tomorrow it's braised fish. Even the landlords in the past didn't eat as much as she does!"
Su Sheng was also curious and asked, "Yes, Xiao Luo, I heard from the people in the village that you are doing the braised meat business recently? You carry more than ten kilograms of meat every day and you can always sell them out."
