Wu Tong brought over a bowl of brown sugar eggs.
"Little sister, drink some brown sugar water to warm yourself up first."
"Sister-in-law, I will go to work tomorrow and will definitely not hold the family back."
Li Minglan was afraid of causing trouble to her family.
After all, having one more mouth to feed at home is no small matter. Food is precious, and the family has to work hard to barely have enough food and clothing.
Although the village chief's family is better off, no one would want to have an extra mouth to feed.
What's more, she is a married girl.
If this happened in another family, they would definitely not let their married daughter go home to be raised.
Wu Tong felt extremely distressed seeing her like this.
She has not suffered any hardship since she married into this family, and the village chief treats her like his own daughter.
She knew it was because she missed Li Minglan.
"What are you talking about, little sister? We had such a good family before you got married. There's no rush to go back to work. Just rest at home for two or three days."
Li Minglan fell asleep after drinking the brown sugar and egg water.
It was already dark, and the village chief thought about going to Li Mingqing to thank him tomorrow.
Li family’s new house.
Sun Jiaxue couldn't believe it after hearing what Li Mingqing said.
Forcing a woman to hang herself shows how cruel it is.
Li Mingqing said, "If we have a daughter in the future, she will never be allowed to suffer such humiliation."
"Brother Mingqing, do you think I'm pregnant with a girl or a boy?"
"It's all good, as long as the child is healthy."
"I met Lili this afternoon, and she said her family all hoped it would be a boy."
"I think men and women are the same anyway."
Although he had some money, he had no throne to inherit.
Sun Jiaxue touched her belly and said, "I'm afraid the villagers will laugh at me when the time comes."
He smiled and said, "Cynical? They're probably just jealous and envious. Don't worry about them. Just live your own life."
If you care about what others think all the time, you will probably be exhausted to death.
The next day.
The village chief came over carrying a basket of tender corn.
"Mingqing, thank goodness you were here yesterday, otherwise Minglan, that silly kid, would have died. Come, take it."
After saying that, he stuffed twenty yuan into Li Mingqing's hand.
"Uncle, there's no need for our friendship. I'll take the corn, and you can take the money back."
"Tell me the truth, how is Minglan's health?"
He sighed softly and said, "He's been malnourished for a long time and has severe anemia. He needs to be taken care of for a year or two. He should eat more nutritious meat and eggs. But he's not in danger of death."
The village chief finally put his mind at ease.
He didn't sleep at all last night because he was always worried about Li Minglan's health.
Sun Jiaxue held two bowls of millet porridge and said, "Uncle Village Chief, please stay here and eat something."
"No, I have something to do at home so I'll go back first."
After he left, Li Mingqing said, "Wife, let's just eat some corn for lunch. It looks like it was just picked from the fields."
"Okay, I'll wash it and cook it on the stove later."
"Don't forget to take the calcium tablets I gave you last time."
"I've been eating. I'll eat after I finish breakfast."
As Li Mingqing arrived at the door, he saw Yang Daya holding Si Niu and asked, "Where's Jiaxue?"
"Eating in the house."
She rushed into the yard and said, "Jiaxue, please help me look after Si Niu while I go to the fields to earn some money."
"Okay, go ahead."
"She's very pretty. As long as she's well fed and watered, she won't cry. If she starts crying, tell that naughty boy Xiangnan to find me in the fields."
After saying this, Yang Daya put the child down and left.
Si Niu was indeed quite well-behaved, babbling to herself.
When Li Mingqing arrived at the supply and marketing cooperative, he saw Ding Yi's car parked there.
"Brother Ding, how come you have time to come over?"
"I came to talk to you about something."
"What's going on?"
"The military wants you to be their medical advisor. If there are any injuries or illnesses that cannot be treated, we hope you can step in."
"Okay, no problem,"
Even though Ding Yi had seen big scenes, he didn't expect him to agree so readily.
Before he came, he heard from the dean that Li Mingqing didn't even want to go to the hospital.
"But I won't be working."
"You don't have to work in the office. As a consultant, I only come to you when there is an unresolved illness."
"Then it's settled."
Li Mingqing felt very safe having the military as his backing.
Ding Yi said, "I have something else to do and will leave first. I will come to give you your work badge this afternoon."
Wow, there’s even a work badge, so formal.
Ding Yi didn't come until it was time to get off work. He must have been delayed by something.
Li Mingqing rode his bicycle leisurely back to the village.
Less than two minutes after arriving in the village, Ding Yi drove over in a small jeep.
"I'm sorry, I'm late. Something unexpected happened and I couldn't get away."
"It's okay. You've been here twice and haven't come to my house yet. Come and have a cup of tea."
The children in the village ran around the car, very curious.
After hearing this, Old Lady Li immediately dropped her work in the fields and hurried home.
She knew that the person who came was not an ordinary person, so she just looked at him at the door and did not go in.
Old man Li said, "Our Ming Qing has really made a name for himself. If you think about it, the few cars that come to the village are all driven by Ming Qing."
“I really want to go and listen to it.”
"They've been here several times, so I guess they have something important to tell you. Let's go after they leave."
Some villagers couldn't help but feel jealous.
"I really don't know how the Li family has such good luck. It's really a blessing from their ancestors."
"That's right, I just know some ways to cure diseases and save lives."
"Besides this, I don't have any other skills."
"But it's not easy to have such good medical skills at such a young age."
"Ever since the Li family kid fell down the mountain and recovered, his life has been getting better and better."
"This is none of our business, and we don't have the ability to do it. We can only watch the fun."
The villagers who came back from work sat in front of Lao Li's house and watched the fun chattering non-stop.
Wu Tong and Li Minglan attracted the attention of many villagers as they walked by.
Old Lady Xu, the chatterbox, said, "How can a married girl live in her parents' home all the time? Minglan, it will be hard for your sister-in-law to deal with you living there."
She beat and scolded her wife Wang Dahua, making her work like a slave, but she didn't want Wang Dahua to leave like Li Minglan.
But she was not worried about Wang Dahua leaving.
Wang Dahua's family values criminals over girls, and they will definitely not interfere with their daughter once she is married off.
Wang Daya said, "Aunt, it's my mother's home as well as my own home."
She grew up with Li Minglan and felt heartbroken to see her being tortured like this.
"After you get married, what's your mother's family anymore? Who has enough food? One more mouth to feed means more food. Li Mingfu already has two children, so even if it's his biological sister, she shouldn't continue to live in his mother's house."
Li Minglan's face was pale, and she clutched the corner of her clothes helplessly.
