Chapter 430

"What is she afraid of?"

Li Gui was indeed particularly interested, staring at Tang Wan with a gleam in his eyes.

"Your stepmother is a face-conscious person."

Tang Wan's words made Li Gui doubtful. After all, Lu Huaimei had no face in this family building.

Perhaps seeing that she didn't quite believe it, Jiang Wan explained, "Look, every time she hits you, isn't it always on you?"

After hearing Jiang Wan's analysis, Li Gui nodded slightly and said, "That's right, like this morning."

She said she stole the eggs at home.

But the eggs clearly belong to them, why can't she eat them?

"That's it, even though many people know behind her back that she treats you badly.

But she never said it openly. She would say that you were ignorant and disobedient and bullied her, your stepmother."

Tang Wan's words made Li Gui angry, and she said in disdain: "She eats and drinks what my father gives her.

She even beat my father's child. I can only blame my father for not loving me, otherwise she wouldn't have had this opportunity."

Before Lu Huaimei got married, she was the one who did all the housework.

Her father doesn't love her as a concubine at all.

"So if she dares to bully you in the future, you have to strike back first, she is such a face-conscious person.

For the sake of face, I dare not treat you too harshly in public."

Tang Wan saw that Li Gui had listened to some of what she said, so she continued, "She also came to us.

She wants to divorce your father. Who told your father to like beating her? You can use this to control her. "

Tang Wan knew Lu Huaimei well. She knew that if they wanted a divorce, she would not be willing to do so without giving up a layer of flesh from Li Mingpu.

Hearing this, Li Gui nodded slightly, and there was a more complicated look in his eyes when he looked at Tang Wan.

"Why are you helping me?"

"My daughter is only a little younger than you."

Tang Wan was not trying to fool her, she really felt that the child was quite pitiful.

"In fact, it's not just your stepmother. Your father is also a face-conscious person. When things get out of hand, they will be more or less jealous.

But you also have to be careful, they are adults, you definitely can't do anything to them with force."

Li Gui was only ten years old, still a child. Perhaps because his mother died early, he matured precociously.

"Thank you."

She finally listened to Tang Wan's words, and Tang Wan took out a few big white rabbits and placed them in her palm.

"Live well with your mother's hope."

She left the compound without looking back, without even looking at Li Gui. Whether she could listen to him or not depended on her luck.

Li Gui seemed to understand, but after returning to her building, she ran into the aunt next door.

"Xiao Gui, you are so silly. We are all family. Just tell your stepmother what you want to eat.

Stealing is not a good thing, and it’s no wonder your stepmother got angry.”

What this aunt said was not very pleasant, and Li Gui subconsciously wanted to get angry, but then he thought of what Tang Wan said.

She lowered her head gently, "Auntie, you are right, but I didn't steal anything."

Li Gui rolled up his sleeves casually and said, "I didn't have breakfast. We had already eaten all the eggs at home.

Isn't it the day to go to the grain and oil station to get supplies yet?"

"Hey, Xiaogui, what's wrong with you?"

The auntie saw that Li Gui's arms were covered with bruises and purples, which were all caused by Lu Huaimei's pinching.

Skin injuries are easy to see, and Lu Huaimei always hurt her in secret.

Of course there were also traces of being beaten by her father.

Hearing this, Li Gui hurriedly pulled down his sleeves, pursed his lips and said, "Auntie, I'm fine.

You are mistaken. My stepmother is actually quite nice to me. After all, I am not her child. It is good enough that I can stutter."

She looked pitiful, skinny and with gray hair, which immediately filled the aunt with sympathy.

"Silly child, what are you talking about? Even though you are not her biological child, you get a share of all the money your father earns.

Don't be so stupid in the future, okay? If you have any grievances, tell your aunt. "

As the auntie spoke, she stuffed an egg into Li Gui's mouth. This person was a warm-hearted and kind person. Li Gui curled the corners of his mouth.

"Thank you, Auntie. I can't have your eggs. They are for your brother at home."

"Silly child, take it. After all, your mother is gone. It's pitiful."

Looking at the distressed look in her aunt's eyes, Li Gui understood for the first time what Tang Wan said.

In the past, when she was bullied, she could only swallow her anger and lick her wounds silently.

I have also gotten used to being alone and can no longer feel the kindness of my family members.

She will definitely make good use of everything in the family building in the future.

Tang Wan didn't know that her few simple words had changed Li Gui a lot, and she took a lot of things from the space.

She sent her home first, and then went to Huzhuang Brigade. There was no medicinal collection today, so she simply took some herbs from the space.

Just treat it as medicinal herbs picked early in the morning.

In the clinic, Dongzi still brought a basket of herbs early in the morning, although their master-disciple relationship was kept secret.

But Dongzi had come so often that everyone in the team had already guessed it.

Look, Dongzi was seen standing at the entrance of the health center waiting for Tang Wan, and some people couldn't help but make a joke.

"Dongzi, you don't go to work very often, so why are you so active in collecting herbs? Did Doctor Tang give you any benefits?

Let us hear it, we will go to the mountains to collect some herbs when we have time."

"I……"

Dongzi was shy and didn't know how to answer for a moment.

After all, the master didn't seem to want to expose their relationship.

"Dongzi is my apprentice. He is learning from me. Collecting herbs is his daily task."

Tang Wan looked at the person opposite her who was joking with her, Deng Xiaomei. This guy was trying so hard to have a son that he was now pregnant.

This is her seventh baby now. The previous ones were all delivered by Tang Wan, so she has always been polite in front of Tang Wan.

"So that's how it happened. When did it happen?"

Deng Xiaomei smiled awkwardly, Dongzi was a little nervous, and Tang Wan replied to her directly.

"It's been a long time, it's hard to say exactly, Dongzi, put your things down and go to class."

"Yes, Master."

Dongzi felt inexplicably happy, probably because his master acknowledged his identity as his disciple in front of others.

Deng Xiaomei looked at his back, a hint of envy flashing across her eyes.

"Doctor Tang, can you please take a look at my children? The eldest one is not young anymore and can help you with a lot of work."

In Deng Xiaomei's eyes, Tang Wan took in Dongzi just to find someone to do work for her.

The reason why Tang Wan said it now was that she didn't want these people to know the specific day when she accepted Dongzi as her apprentice.

After all, the day of taking the college entrance examination is getting closer, and Tang Wan will have to leave sooner or later.

"Aren't you pregnant again? You should let your children stay at home to help take care of you."

Tang Wan politely declined. Although Deng Xiaomei's family was still poorer than before.

However, the children have grown up a lot and can help her with a lot of housework.

Sure enough, after hearing what Tang Wan said, Deng Xiaomei's intention was dispelled.

"Yes, they are very busy."

Now that the children can get work points, she still feels reluctant to let them go.

After all, they are all money-losing goods. No matter how much they learn, it will belong to their husband's family in the future. What does it have to do with her?

If the baby in her belly was a son, it would be great if he could learn from Tang Wan.
