As a result, more than an hour passed, and Shi Xiaoli was still screaming from time to time, but because she had no strength left, the continuous screams at first became continuous ones later on.
Everyone was making clothes while listening to her calls, feeling mixed emotions.
Shi De, who was staying by Shi Xiaoli's side, felt even worse.
At first, passers-by in the village would secretly hide outside the courtyard wall to peek, but he would still greet all the people's ancestors. Later, he didn't have the energy to do so anymore, and it became just that you can watch if you want, he is too lazy to even scold.
When Shi Weiqiang came home from work that evening and saw Shi Xiaoli tied to a pillar under the eaves, he immediately rushed forward to untie her: "How can you be so stupid? Xiaoli is still a human being, no matter how crazy she is."
At this point, Shi De had originally planned to lock Shi Xiaoli in the inner room, but he didn't bother to argue with him and asked instead, "How many work points did you earn today?"
Shi Weiqiang was furious: "None of them suffered, just wait for the consequences!"
"How can you talk like that?" Shi De was a little angry for a moment.
"Xiao Li, let's go inside." Shi Weiqiang decided not to pay any more attention to him, but to support Shi Xiaoli and try to coax her into the inner room. As a result, Shi Xiaoli obediently followed him two steps at first.
She suddenly raised her eyes and saw that it was a man who was helping her. She immediately became agitated and shook her head while shouting, "Don't touch me, don't touch me."
"Xiao Li, I'm your third brother. Look carefully, I'm your third brother. Okay, okay, I won't touch you. Can you go into the house by yourself?"
"Don't touch me..."
No matter how Shi Weiqiang explained, Shi Xiaoli just shook her head and screamed in horror.
She was screaming and shrinking back. Shi De wanted to step forward to help, but Shi Xiaoli turned around and punched her: "..."
pain!!!
The madman's strength was no joke. Shi De instantly felt so much pain that he saw stars in front of his eyes and couldn't stop crying.
Shi Weiqiang on the other side could only use brute force to pull Shi Xiaoli into the inner room, and he couldn't let her run away no matter what.
After Shi Weiqiang locked the screaming Shi Xiaoli into the inner room, he turned around and saw that one of Shi De's eyes had turned black and blue. However, he said nothing and was too lazy to ask, and went straight to the kitchen.
He had agreed to return to the nursing home to take care of his father and sister, so he had to grit his teeth and do it.
Anyway, he just cooks whatever is available at home. It's not like he hasn't gone through the days of having to eat coarse food before. The most important thing is that he wants his brothers and sisters-in-law to see his progress.
Shi De, whose eyes were still hurting, was about to curse his son when he saw him being so indifferent, but he watched him go into the kitchen.
This... the sun rises from the west, has his son Shi Lao San really become sensible?
Shi De quickly followed her to the kitchen and saw her chopping wood. However, she didn't give him a good look and said directly, "I mainly cooked for Xiao Li, and I made some for you as well. It has nothing to do with filial piety. Anyway, we are not father and son now. You have already kicked me out of the house. Don't you remember?"
This call choked Shi De so much that he couldn't utter a word.
He could only squat in the corner and smoke his pipe in disappointment, watching Shi Weiqiang busying himself while smoking. His cooking movements were so clumsy that it was unbearable to watch.
So after finishing his cigarette, Shi De took over: "I'll do it, you help."
"Haha, we still need two people for this little bit of food. That's totally unnecessary."
"Get out of the way, you ungrateful thing."
Unexpectedly, Shi De started cursing again after just two sentences. Shi Wei threw the kitchen knife on the chopping board in anger and said, "You do it, I won't help anyway. Call me when it's ready, otherwise I won't let you spend the work points I earned."
Shi De's face turned pale in an instant: "..."
What on earth is this thing?
At the same time, Shi Zhentang from the new hospital also came back from digging herbs in the mountains.
As soon as he returned to the village, he asked Uncle Tao to come to his house for dinner, but Uncle Tao was also a very particular person. In the past few months, he had heard some clues from Shi De's words.
People are doubting the relationship between me and the old lady!
Just for this reason, he would not go to the new courtyard for dinner. As a single old man, he was not afraid of what others said behind his back, but the old lady had been dignified all her life, and he could not let her be slandered.
Of course, Uncle Tao did not say these words to Shi Zhentang, and he would not tell anyone from then on. He just said that there were leftovers at home and he would never go.
Shi Zhentang returned home, put down the bamboo basket, and talked about Uncle Tao's stubbornness.
The old lady sighed and said, "Your uncle Tao has always been stubborn since he was young. If he doesn't come, then forget it. We can eat by ourselves."
"Grandma, we have to thank Uncle Tao." Tian Yuzhu, who was sitting in front of the kang, had already picked out the herbs in the bamboo basket one by one. She had almost dug up all the herbs she wanted.
These medicines are not worth much if sold separately, but if they are mixed into a prescription by someone who knows the business, they will be very valuable.
Tian Yuzhu happily patted the mud off her hands and said, "Grandma, we have to give Uncle Tao a piece of smoked pork and a smoked rabbit."
Seeing her happy expression, the old lady asked, "Have you prepared all the medicines?"
"It's done. It's much better than I expected." Tian Yuzhu nodded with a smile.
"That's fine." The old lady turned around immediately and said, "Zhentang, give the two things Yuzhu mentioned to Uncle Tao. If he doesn't want to take them, just say it was me who asked. He's being disrespectful. If that doesn't work, I'll go and deliver them myself."
Maybe it’s okay to say that you don’t give face, but the weight of the gift delivered by the old lady herself is different.
Facing Shi Zhentang who had returned, Grandpa Tao listened to his description and without wasting a second, quickly took the smoked pork and smoked rabbit and said, "How dare I bother you, old lady, to make a trip!"
After he finished speaking, he even forgot to say thank you. He turned around and quickly closed the door, locking Shi Zhentang out.
It was as if the old lady had come without locking the door.
Shi Zhentang stroked his forehead and said through the door, "Then Uncle Tao, I'm going back!"
Uncle Tao in the room quickly responded: "Yeah, go ahead!"
…
When he got home, Shi Zhentang told everyone about Uncle Tao's embarrassment.
The old lady was at a loss for words after hearing this: "An old fellow is still being pretentious."
"Grandma, Uncle Tao is a very respectful person, which means he has never forgotten your identity as a young lady." Tian Yuzhu whispered in her ear.
The old lady laughed even more: "Jokes aside, I think he really thinks so."
As they were talking, Shi Weimin came back. The two little ones, Chengcheng and Doudou, had only attended half a day of class today. Seeing that everyone in the family was gathered, Su Zhen came to ask if they could have dinner.
Then the old lady said, "Okay, bring all the flower buns here. Oh, and I have to go burn some incense and pray for Doudou. Today is the little girl's birthday, so we can't be careless about this."
In this way, Tian Yuzhu accompanied the old lady to burn incense, while Shi Zhentang and Shi Weimin fetched water in the yard to wash their hands.
Su Zhen and Tian Ying were busy in the kitchen, bringing the dishes one by one to the main room. The two little ones followed them, hopping and skipping, their mouths watering with greed...
