Watching Liu Shiyi leave in a hurry, Liu Shihua slowly loosened her clenched fist, wondering if she should go back with her sister this weekend to avoid her mother targeting her.
Unfortunately, it was the busy farming season, and there was a lot of work at the grain station, so Liu Shihua was ultimately unable to get leave.
Liu Shile will also have to tell her family when she goes home this time that she can only go home once every two weeks from now on, because the pharmacy only has two days off per month.
Liu Shile originally thought that Liu Shiyi would act as an informant again, but when she got home, the atmosphere at home was not bad, not as dull as she had imagined.
However, this matter had to be addressed sooner or later, and she also needed to explain to her family that she only went home once every two weeks.
Therefore, he mentioned it lightly during the meal, and emphasized at the end, "Dad, don't worry, I will definitely find a way to cure your leg!"
"Ha, you don't want to go to school, fine, but you're making up excuses like this. Liu Shile, you're really getting more and more impressive!"
Upon hearing her words, Zhang Sumei immediately raised her eyebrows, a hint of barely perceptible smugness flashing in her angry eyes. This brat did a good job! She paid money but didn't go to school, so she might as well go home and do chores!
Therefore, without waiting for Liu Shile to speak, she said directly, "Since you don't want to go to school, then get your tuition refunded and stay home. Find a good husband and get married when you reach the right age."
She will definitely choose her husband's family members carefully!
If Liu Shile hadn't been only sixteen, she would have married her off long ago. Why would she have waited until she grew up and had her wings fully grown?
"Sumei! What are you saying? The child is still young, what are you talking about regarding the in-laws?" Liu Weisong's brow twitched. Did this woman even know what she was saying?
Haven't you noticed how much this child has changed? Besides, he has a teacher instructing him in medicine, and now he's learning at the pharmacy. Who knows, he might actually find a way to cure his leg someday?
Even if things don't go well, once the children have wages and the family income increases, he can go to a major hospital to get his leg checked without any worries!
"Young? What do you mean 'young'? In the old days, she would have been a mother by now!" Zhang Sumei wasn't afraid of Liu Weisong at all; she had long wanted to marry this brat off!
She used to have her eldest son and daughter protecting her, but later her marriage age was changed, which ruined her original plans. If she hadn't gone to school, wouldn't it have been better to get engaged first?
Liu Shile looked at her adoptive mother without changing her expression, and said, "Mom, I'm so sorry, I have to go to school for exams, so I can't come back home for the time being."
Besides, Mom, the only reason I did this was to cure Dad's leg. Mom, you're just letting me come back like this, don't you want to cure Dad's leg?
She's putting such a huge accusation on Zhang Sumei; do you think she'd agree? Obviously not.
Then, in a fit of anger, she said, "Fine, fine, I knew you were no troublemaker, you're even trying to sow discord between us!"
Old Liu, look at this, look at this! This is the girl you've spoiled so much! You're practically hoping we'll fall out, aren't you?
Liu Shile pouted. It's always the same. When she can't win an argument, she resorts to sophistry. Is it really that interesting?
Liu Weisong felt a headache coming on. He thought it was a good thing that the two kids didn't come home often. Every time they came back, the house would be in chaos, giving him a headache.
So he looked at Liu Shile, nodded and said, "Lele, do whatever you want. It doesn't matter whether Dad's leg can be cured or not. Don't put too much pressure on yourself."
It's good that you're an apprentice at the pharmacy. If you learn well, at least you'll have a skill to rely on. You must study hard, and you absolutely cannot neglect your studies, understand?
"Yes, little sister, you should study hard. Your older sister is here for you, everything will be alright." Liu Shixi nodded in support of her younger sister.
As for her mother's fiery glare, she simply ignored it. Anyway, given Lele's temper, her mother couldn't control her.
Sometimes she just doesn't understand why her mom would deliberately provoke her even though she knows she can't control her.
Zhang Sumei was so angry at them that her heart ached. If looks could kill, she probably would have torn them to pieces long ago.
Seeing that things were not going well, Liu Shiping silently put some food on her mother's plate and whispered, "Mom, let's eat. Don't go hungry."
If this had happened before, he would have jumped up and cursed Liu Shile. Unfortunately, ever since that time when his arm was in excruciating pain but no problem could be found, he has become less willing to openly oppose her.
As for the herbal medicine packets at home, I dare not take them anymore. Of course, the reason is not entirely because I am afraid of Liu Shile.
Seeing her son's thoughtfulness, Zhang Sumei's raging anger subsided somewhat, and she casually picked up some food for him as well.
He then said, "My dear, Ping'er, eat more. Don't be like those heartless bastards who never know how hard things are at home and just keep causing trouble for the family!"
Okay, she started making veiled accusations again. If it were anyone else, they would probably be furious, but Liu Shile pretended not to hear it.
Anyway, she really has no conscience. How can you expect someone who treats her badly to have a conscience? She's really shameless.
Her nonchalant eating made Zhang Sumei feel like she was punching cotton, and her anger, which had subsided, rose again.
Liu Shile shrugged inwardly. The more anger she bred, the worse it was for her body. Let her get angry if she wanted; it had nothing to do with her anyway.
...
In Liujia Village, Liu Shiyi looked at her cousin and asked in disbelief, "Brother Duofu, what did you say? Brother Xiaolin, he... he's sick?"
Liu Duofu gave her a strange look. "Yeah, why are you asking this?"
To be honest, ever since he was interrogated by some unknown person, Liu Duofu hasn't been going to the Yang family's house very often, which is why he found out that Yang Xiaolin seems to have some mental problems.
He was perfectly fine, but he insisted on lying in bed claiming he had been beaten up and was in pain all over.
However, the Yang family not only consulted a barefoot doctor, but also took him to the town hospital for a check-up, and the doctors there said he was fine!
If only one doctor said this, it could be considered a misdiagnosis. But if all the doctors say this, then it's most likely true.
Originally, Liu Duofu wanted to go see Yang Xiaolin, but remembering what that person had asked him, he didn't dare to go. Who knew if that person would cause him trouble if he found out he was still with Yang Xiaolin?
"No, it's nothing. Did you go see Brother Xiaolin, Duofu?" Liu Shiyi didn't know that her cousin had been interrogated and was now too afraid to go see Yang Xiaolin, so she asked subconsciously.
Upon hearing this, Liu Duofu's hair stood on end. "What are you talking about? He's just faking illness. Why would I go to see him?"
I wonder if he should stay away from that guy now, or if he's offended some powerful figure, causing him to suffer the consequences!
"Brother Duofu, aren't you best friends? Your best friend is sick, how can you not go and see him?" Liu Shiyi became anxious as soon as she heard this. If it weren't inconvenient, she would have liked to go and see him in person!
