Mrs. Wang had already heard the noise from their side in the room, and wanted to get up and slap her daughter-in-law there, but it was very difficult for her to sit up, and she was so dizzy that she almost fell under the bed.
Fortunately, Niu Er heard the noise outside, ran in, and hurriedly helped her.
As soon as Mrs. Wang saw the red marks on Niu Er's face, her heart ached: "Did she hit you again?"
Niu Er smiled at her and said, "Don't worry, it won't hurt."
Mrs. Wang was in terrible pain: "It's all my fault, if Nai hadn't forced your father to get married and wouldn't have let that poisonous woman in, you wouldn't have suffered so much!"
Niu Er shook his head: "What did grandma say? As long as you are good, I don't think life will be hard!"
Seeing such a filial Niu Er, Mrs. Wang felt very sorry for her. After thinking for a long time, she said to Niu Er, "I went to see your grandma Sun. She said she was sick and wanted to see her."
Niu Er looked at Mrs. Wang for a long time before nodding, but as soon as he went out, Li Lihua stopped him: "Where are you going! Take these clothes out and wash them for me!"
"I have something to do and I have to go out!" Niu Er said.
"Wash before you go!"
Niu Er had no choice but to go up and take the basin from Li Lihua's hand. But when he saw the clothes in the basin, he couldn't help but blush again, and walked away with the basin in his arms!
Every day when it was almost time for lunch, Li Lihua would always find something for him to do, which made her feel satisfied!
When he comes back, he can only eat the scraps left by them.
When Niu Fusheng came out and saw it, he was somewhat dissatisfied with Li Lihua: "How can you let Niu Er wash your underwear?"
Li Lihua immediately said unhappily: "Is it possible that I won't touch that ice water?"
After saying that, he turned around to see his child.
Niu Er carried the wooden basin and first went to the river to wash his clothes, and then went to Xie Jiaojiao's house.
Xie Jiaojiao and the others had just finished eating.
As soon as he saw Niu Er, he immediately opened the door.
Xie Zhiyi rushed up immediately: "Brother Niu, are you free today? Come on, I'll take you to see the rabbits I raise. There are dozens of them now."
After saying that, he hurriedly pulled Niu Er to go towards the backyard, but when he pulled Niu Er, Niu Er's hand froze.
Niu Er hurriedly let go of his hand and stood still, with a smile on his face: "Don't call me Brother Niu Er from now on. According to seniority, I should call you Uncle Xie."
Xie Zhiyi stared at Niu Erxiao for a while before speaking: "Brother Niu Er? What's wrong with you?"
Xie Jiaojiao came out of the house and looked at Niu Er from a distance: "Niu Er, why don't you come into the house? It's so cold outside!"
But Niu Er shook his head: "Aunt Xie is fine. I'm here to see Grandma Sun. My breasts are sick and I miss her. I want to talk to her."
Sun Ruhua came out of the kitchen and wiped her hands on her apron: "You've been sick for so long and you still haven't recovered?"
As soon as he mentioned this, Niu Er's eyes turned red and he just shook his head.
Xie Jiaojiao looked at him: "Didn't your family just divide the money yesterday? Didn't they hire a doctor for your milk?"
When he mentioned this, Niu Er's tears fell. Only then did Xie Jiaojiao see a few fingerprints on his face. Then she looked at Niu Er's clothes. In the past, because of Mrs. Wang's love, Niu Er was in the village's baby. It was considered relatively well-dressed, but now, the legs of a pair of trousers were exposed, the cloth shoes had several holes, and the toes were hanging out. It was obvious that the shoes did not fit.
Look at the hands he placed by his side. They were red from the cold and had several frostbite openings. His entire face looked sallow and thin. Compared with the fat boy two years ago, he was completely different!
"Grandma Sun, do you have time now?"
Sun Ruhua hurriedly took off her apron and was about to follow Niu Er, but Xie Jiaojiao stopped her.
I went to the house to get a few taels of silver and gave them to Sun Ruhua.
Sun Ruhua looked at her.
Xie Jiaojiao pulled her aside and said, "Mom, if Aunt Wang can still be saved, you can find a doctor for her. If there is no hope of saving, she must want to..."
Xie Jiaojiao glanced at Niu Er: "You should come down."
Sun Ruhua thought for a while and nodded slightly: "Mom knows."
Seeing Sun Ruhua follow Niu Er away.
Xie Zhiyi took Xie Jiaojiao's hand: "Sister, Brother Niu, you look so pitiful!"
Xie Jiaojiao didn't say anything. What she said to Sun Ruhua just now was just a repayment for the kind words Mrs. Wang said for her family in front of everyone.
Sun Ruhua only came back in the evening.
When I came back, my eyes were red.
As soon as he saw Xie Jiaojiao, he couldn't help but complain: "The woman your Brother Niu married is really not a human being!"
Xie Jiaojiao patted her on the back: "Okay, it's not like I haven't seen her before when the money was divided that day."
"Your Aunt Wang was originally a caretaker, but when my mother saw that she was still in good spirits, she used the money you got to send Niu Er to the town to ask for a doctor. Guess what? That woman Li Lihua still refused to let you go! I'm so angry. Me!"
Xie Jiaojiao calmed down her anger: "Okay, what does the doctor say?"
"It's nothing serious. It's just that the disease has been delayed for too long. I asked Niu Er and he said that for so long, Li Lihua has not been willing to spend money to treat your Aunt Wang. That's why a small cold has been delayed for so long. .”
Xie Jiaojiao was relieved: "Okay, don't worry."
Sun Ruhua nodded and immediately washed her hands and prepared to cook.
During dinner, Xie Jiaojiao said: "Zhiyi, at the beginning of next year, can I send you to study?"
When Sun Ruhua heard this, she was extremely happy. She shook Xie Zhiyi's hand and said, "Zhiyi, why don't you thank your sister quickly!"
Xie Zhiyi held the chopsticks but said nothing. It took a long time to say: "Sister, I don't want to study."
After hearing what he said, Sun Ruhua immediately wanted to speak...
Xie Jiaojiao interrupted her.
"Mom, don't be impatient."
Then he looked at Xie Zhiyi: "Then what do you want to do?"
Xie Zhiyi looked at Xie Jiaojiao: "If sister really wants me to learn something, how about sending me to study medicine? If I learn it, I can show it to you when mother and sister get sick in the future, and I can also teach Wang Auntie treats everyone in the village!"
Xie Jiaojiao stared at Xie Zhiyi: "Do you really want to learn?"
Sun Ruhua said from the side: "Zhiyi, not everyone can learn medicine!"
"Sister, I really want to learn!"
Xie Jiaojiao smiled: "Okay! I'll go find out tomorrow, but even if you want to study medicine, you still need to be literate!"
Xie Zhiyi nodded: "I am willing to learn calligraphy and medicine."
