Chapter 84: Even if you are broke and have a son, you still need to be cured...
Slipped away.
***
Uncle Li Zheng’s home is right in the center of Tangjia Village.
The green brick and tile house is easy to find.
Only those with affluent families can afford to live there. Uncle Li Zheng is a respected family in Tangjia Village. His ancestors have been the Li Zhengs for several generations. He has great prestige in the village and is well connected with the government, so he has quite some wealth.
Even the courtyard is built with bricks.
Uncle Li Zheng was smoking a pipe in the yard.
The old lady was decocting medicine under the eaves.
"I heard that the roof of the Cai family's house was blown away, and they moved to Wang Tiangou's house in the neighboring Wangjia Village. Old man, don't you want to take a look?" The old lady was chatting.
Uncle Li Zheng's brows were furrowed.
He held the old cigarette in his hand and smoked it one puff after another.
"How could you have such an idea?"
At this time,
Suddenly, I heard a rustling noise coming from inside the house, and also some roaring sounds.
The eldest daughter-in-law of Li Zheng's family, Yang, came out of the house with her face covered. There was a deep bloodstain on her face.
"Are you okay?" Auntie Li Zheng went forward to greet him.
"I'm fine. Zhuer's illness has recurred. Dad, Mom, we have to treat Zhuer! How can Zhuer continue like this?" Yang choked.
Uncle Li Zheng took a deep puff of his cigarette and said nothing.
The old lady Li Zheng's eyes were also red, "Treat him, he must be treated! I hope Dajiang can find a good doctor this time. If it really doesn't work, we will spend a lot of money to drag Zhuer to the county or prefecture for treatment..."
Yang cried heart-brokenly, "Dad, Mom, Dajiang and I only have this one son! Dajiang was injured in hunting, and we can't have any more children. Zhuer..."
"Your father and I only have one grandson, Zhuer. We will take care of Zhuer even if it means bankrupting the whole family..."
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law hugged each other and cried bitterly.
At this moment, the roaring and screaming sounds in the house gradually subsided.
"Is Uncle Li Zheng at home?"
Suddenly a voice made the people in the yard stop crying.
Uncle Lizheng pricked up his ears and listened, "It seems to be Madam Cai, old woman, Madam Cai is here!"
He quickly gave Yang a look, indicating that she should wash her face and go into the house.
Yang understood.
She roughly wiped the blood off her face, went into the house and continued to look after the child.
The old lady inside went to open the door.
Uncle Li Zheng stopped smoking and looked towards the door.
"Here she comes... Oh, it's Madam Cai! What a rare guest!"
"Hello, auntie!"
"Hello, auntie!"
Little Yuanbao has a pair of big watery eyes, and when he smiles he looks as beautiful as a crescent moon.
Two pigtails with beautiful red hair strings tied on them make her look festive and adorable.
Lying on Cai's shoulder, he followed Erbao and said hello.
It makes people like it after watching it.
"And Erbao and Xiaoyuanbao are here too! Please come in, please come in..."
A group of people entered the yard.
Seeing Uncle Li Zheng smoking, they all greeted him and came into the central hall.
Auntie Li Zheng went to serve them tea.
Uncle Li Zheng said in a deep voice, "I heard that the evil wind yesterday blew your thatched house down, so it's uninhabitable?"
Cai quickly replied, "Yes, uncle, we are here today for this matter."
"You didn't come to see me yesterday. You are from Tangjia Village. When something happened, you went to Wangjia Village to stay. People thought that no one was in charge of Tangjia Village..." Uncle Li Zheng's tone was a little unhappy.
Er Bao said, "Grandpa Li Zheng, we didn't think it through and didn't take this into consideration. It's just because our family is on good terms with Wang Tiangou's family. Wang Tiangou has been living in our house for some time. Yesterday, when that incident happened, he invited us to live in his house, saying that it was a courtesy, so we agreed. We should have told you in advance, Grandpa Li Zheng. The house collapsed, and my mother was panicked. We were young and didn't think it through. Please forgive us, Grandpa Li Zheng."
Uncle Li Zheng's expression relaxed a little, "Well, you are not hurt!"
He wouldn't care about such a small matter.
Just saying it to warn them.
It's not easy for orphans and widows.
"No, everything is fine. Nothing valuable was blown away." Erbao was at home yesterday, and it was he and Cai who rescued supplies.
Then he told me about the evil wind that happened yesterday.
"That's good. You should go back to live in the village. I'll find a way for you. Your grandparents moved out overnight a few days ago. Their house is still habitable. I can arrange for you to live back in your former home, Old Tang's..." Uncle Li Zheng has this right.
Cai lowered her eyelids, "We dare not even think about it, uncle, what if they come back and quarrel again?"
After saying that, he clearly stated his intention of building his own house.
Li Zheng, the old lady, made tea for them and came back with great approval.
"You can build a house. Your little Yuanbao is young, but he will make a lot of money. He must be well-off and can build his own house. This will prevent that old wicked Tang Youcai from coming back to make trouble. They are talking about going to live with relatives, but who knows if they can come back in a few days.
Living in a house that I built myself will give me peace of mind. In the future, in a few years, Dabao and the others will be adults, and it will be time to talk about marriage. If we have a big house at home, there will be more people to talk about marriage, and there will be more good girls to choose from..."
Cai felt as if she had found a confidant. "Yes, yes, that's exactly what you said, old lady."
Uncle Li Zheng took another puff of his cigarette and said, "Where do you want to build your house? As long as it is in our Tangjia Village, I can make the decision and I will approve it for you."
It has not been easy for this mother and her two children. It is a good thing that they are now able to build their own house.
There are four children, and each of them looks promising.
Tangjia Village needs such new forces.
Erbao replied, "Thank you very much, Master Li Zheng. This is what we thought. We want my sister to go to the village and see where she thinks it is suitable to build a house. Once she chooses a place, we will report back to you. What do you think?"
Now, everyone's eyes turned to Xiao Yuanbao.
When the adults were talking, little Yuanbao looked around curiously, drank tea, and ate melon seeds, looking very leisurely.
All these meals and drinks were treated to her by Aunt Li Zheng.
"Xiao Yuanbao, go and pick one yourself?" Uncle Li Zheng frowned.
She's just a three and a half year old baby...how can she be picky?
Generally, cautious families would hire a famous Feng Shui master.
"Yes, I'll choose. I'll choose a place with good feng shui and build a house there, so it won't be blown away by the wind!" The little kid was called and turned around to give Uncle Li Zheng a sweet smile.
It’s great to have such a pretty and lively little girl!
Thinking back to my grandson.
Uncle Li Zheng felt lonely for a while.
"Okay, go and try to pick one first. Tell me where you find it."
"Thank you, Grandpa Li Zheng!" Erbao thanked him quickly.
