Now she's been picked up by her brother and sister-in-law, and her story has spread throughout the village. There was no other way. She came back with a fever, her life hanging by a thread. Her father initially said he'd give up, saying there was no treatment for the disease. How could he treat it? It would be an insult to the ancestors, bringing shame to them. But her mother couldn't bear it, so she called a barefoot doctor at night, who gave her an IV drip and prescribed anti-inflammatory drugs. The doctor's lack of medical ethics was so evident that the story spread throughout the village the next day.
Although it brought shame to her ancestors, at least her life was saved. However, although her life was saved, life was worse than death. Her place was so dilapidated and old that it was said to be miraculous. Even the old bachelor Jiang Yazai in the village said that he would not want it even if it was given to him for free.
Everyone started to make a fuss and asked Jiang Yazai who he wanted.
Jiang Yazi smiled, showing his big yellow teeth, and said shamelessly, "That has to be the third daughter-in-law of the Li family, Tao Xiaoxi. That woman is so soft and feels so good to the touch!"
"How do you know she's soft?" People who watch the fun never think it's too big to stir up trouble.
"Of course I did it. If Li Nanshan hadn't arrived that time, I would have—"
"What's wrong with you?" Everyone urged Jiang Yazai.
"Oh, forget it, I won't say anymore." Jiang Yazai stood up from the tree stump and walked away with his neck hooked as if he was escaping.
Everyone was listening with great interest when they saw Li Nanshan coming from the other end of the village. Only then did they understand why Jiang Yazai didn't dare to continue.
Li Nanshan walked to the front of the crowd and slashed the tree stump with his machete. The knife embedded itself deeply in it, as if it was Jiang Yazai who was being chopped. He glanced around with a smile and paused for two or three seconds. The guilty crowd did not dare to speak. After a few more seconds, he finally spoke, "Jiang Yazai has made up hundreds of dirty jokes. If everyone believes them and spreads them out, who knows, tomorrow they might be your wife's dirty jokes, or even your mother's. How would you all feel about that?"
When the word "ma" fell, Li Nanshan looked at everyone sincerely, as if he was really considering them, but his tone was threatening and unquestionable.
"No, no!" The men and women present shook their heads in agreement.
Li Nanshan nodded with satisfaction, gently pulled out the scimitar, put it on his waist and left.
Later in the morning, Tao Xiaoxi heard about the big and famous scene that happened at the village entrance. Her sister-in-law came to tell her about it.
"But don't worry, Nanshan frightened those people right away. They definitely won't dare to gossip anymore."
"It's nothing in the first place. Jiang Yazai's unkind words will bring disaster upon him sooner or later." Tao Xiaoxi smiled but didn't show it on her face. In her heart, she had already cursed Jiang Yazai a thousand times and wanted to cut him into pieces.
"That's right, bad people will be punished by God. Take my pulse again and see when my baby will come out." The sister-in-law took the opportunity to say.
"I think this is why you came to see me?" Tao Xiaoxi pretended to be angry.
The sister-in-law shamelessly extended her hand.
"Everything is fine, looking forward to good news!" Tao Xiaoxi gave her eight words.
"What do you mean?"
"She's about to give birth."
"Really? The Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara who saves people from suffering has finally come to me." The eldest sister-in-law was so happy that she became the second grandma of Sun.
As soon as the sister-in-law left, Ni Linli's mother came, carrying a basket full of steamed buns, and stammered, unable to explain anything.
"Aunt, is Lin Li's matter settled?" Tao Xiaoxi asked first.
"Okay, okay, I came here to thank you. I'm not good at speaking and I don't know how to start." Mother Ni said embarrassedly.
"It's good that it's over. No need to come and thank me specially. We are all neighbors. We just help each other and it will be over."
This sentence brought tears to Ni's mother's eyes. "You are truly a kind-hearted person with the heart of a bodhisattva. Although no one says it, I know it clearly in my heart. The way they look at my Lin Li is full of disdain. This child has a miserable life, and there is no end to her suffering."
"Aunt, you still need to enlighten her. You have to live your own life. If you can't control others, then don't bother them. The road will become wider the more you walk on it. If you don't walk on it, it will disappear."
"Yes, I will tell her all these words when I get back." Mother Ni said, wiping away her tears.
But he had no intention of leaving, as it was getting dark.
"Aunt, do you have anything else to do?" Tao Xiaoxi guessed.
Mother Ni's eyes dodged, not daring to look at her, "I want to say something to you."
"You said."
"My daughter, don't take those words to heart. My old man and I both said that you are not that kind of person."
"What?" Tao Xiaoxi was a little confused.
"It's what Jiang Yazi said this morning, don't you know?"
"Oh, I know those." Tao Xiaoxi smiled.
"We believe you are a good person." Mother Ni wanted to comfort him, but she couldn't find the words to comfort him.
"I'm fine. I don't take it seriously. It's nothing. Aunt, you don't have to worry about me." Tao Xiaoxi comforted her instead.
"That's good, I'll leave now." Only then did Ni's mother feel relieved.
"Take the steamed bun back." Tao Xiaoxi picked up the steamed bun and stuffed it into Ni's mother's hand.
Ni's mother resolutely refused to take it back, "If you don't accept it, it means you think we are dirty."
At this point, Tao Xiaoxi had no choice but to accept it, but he went back to the house and got a few packets of medicine for her to take back, asking her to boil them for Ni Linli to drink, as they were all good tonics.
The old lady staggered back, wiping her tears and carrying a burning heart.
Li Nanshan returned from the medicinal field at dusk. He said nothing, as if nothing had happened. When he saw the bowl full of steamed buns on the table, he was surprised and asked, "Has our family become rich?"
