When Xiao Hei saw Da Bai about to leave, he was so angry that he chased him back to make medicine for his mother Yang Huamei, but Xu Qiaohong grabbed his arm again.
"Don't go! Come back here!"
Xiao Hei was anxious and confused, "Why don't you go after him? He said it himself before, to come and make medicine for my mother!"
"What, your words don't count?"
Xu Qiaohong curled her lips, "He is a master who eats lime and makes white farts. Do you really believe it?"
"Then I'm going to chase him back!" Xiao Hei said, "I'm going to press his head and let him boil the medicine!"
Xu Qiaohong changed her position and stood in front of Xiao Hei, and said in a low voice: "I told you not to go, so just don't go. Don't risk your life for a bowl of medicine!"
Xiao Hei was stunned for a moment, and his expression became serious, "What do you mean?"
Xu Qiaohong frowned and didn't want to say anything, but kept glancing towards the kitchen door to see if Dabai was listening in the corner.
He looked a little panicked. It was obvious that she was afraid of something.
This made Xiao Hei become more serious. He held Xu Qiaohong's shoulders tightly with both hands, "Don't be afraid, I am here. Even if the sky falls, I will support you, Sister Qiaohong!"
"Tell me, what's going on? Did he threaten you?"
Xiao Hei asked again, but then he thought about it, it wasn't right. He was present during the entire conversation, and he heard every word of the conversation between his eldest brother and Sister Qiaohong.
It seemed that they were making peace in the end, taking a step back, and there was no threat or anything like that.
Xu Qiaohong raised her head and was very moved when she saw the anxiety and concern in Xiao Hei's eyes.
Why is it that this man has accomplished nothing and is worthless in the eyes of others, but she still wants to follow him?
Just because he is good to himself!
That kind of good, very simple, just good!
Xu Qiaohong had never read any books and could not use appropriate words to describe that feeling.
Let's put it this way, it's like raising a dog.
No matter what you feed it, or how you beat or scold it, but when it’s done, you shout at it and it will still come to you with its tail wagging.
It will not hold a grudge against you, it will always be loyal to you.
Of course, in her eyes, Xiao Hei is a human being, not a dog.
But what she wants to say is that Xiao Hei has never had a temper with her. He listens to whatever she says and does whatever she asks him to do.
What she wanted was this feeling, this feeling of complete control.
The man she married before lives in a county town and has good conditions.
His own conditions are better than Xiao Hei's, he has a handsome appearance, and he spends more time dressing up and choosing clothes before going out every day than this woman.
At first she thought this was good. Her man was so handsome, and she would have dignity when walking outside.
But as time went by, she gradually discovered that although the two were a so-called married couple, the unfamiliarity and estrangement between them could not be erased no matter what!
She didn't understand him. She would never tell her what he was thinking or where he went after returning from his official duties.
His whereabouts were erratic, and we only found out where he had gone several times from other people's mouths.
He played with friends outside and never took her with him.
She was like a decoration that he married and put in his home. ….
Once she forced him so hard that he had to take her out to a dinner party.
There were both men and women at the dinner party, and the men looked like they were young men from well-off families in the county. Everyone got together and made all kinds of dirty jokes, and the fun was even more vulgar than the average person.
But they all looked down on country people, which made Xu Qiaohong, who came from a small town, feel very embarrassed and on pins and needles.
Moreover, the other gorgeous women at the same table were making all kinds of jokes with her man, openly and covertly, with all kinds of temptations and hidden things in their words...
A woman's intuition makes her feel that the relationship between these women and her husband is a bit fishy.
Although at the dinner table,
In the face of provocations from those women, either intentionally or deliberately, her husband would also deliberately and exaggeratedly say a few words to defend her.
However, Xu Qiaohong clearly felt like an outsider. He was in the same circle as these outside friends, and she was an outsider and couldn't squeeze in.
After returning home, she talked to him in private about what happened at today's dinner table, revealing that she didn't like so many women around him.
But he looked indifferent to it. Faced with her coquettishness and anger, he just laughed and made inappropriate jokes.
Then, as it should be, so be it.
Xu Qiaohong felt deeply powerless, even though her brothers and sisters-in-law said she was lucky to be a young mistress.
But she felt that her life was not happy at all.
There are some things that she is even embarrassed to say.
Such a charming husband can count the number of days he actually comes home and sleeps next to her, thirty days a month, on the palm of his hand!
She was lonely, physically and mentally. She felt as if she had walked into a marriage cemetery, lost her way in it, and couldn't get out.
Until he came back one day after contracting a disease outside...
Only then did he restrain himself.
From then on, she became his maidservant.
He was in a bad mood and treated her in all kinds of strange ways. The most outrageous incident was when he threw a tea bowl and snuff bottle at her.
She was desperate and thinking about how to get out of this hopeless marriage.
Even if she couldn't escape, she still had to find a way to have some fun for herself. Otherwise, at only eighteen years old, she couldn't wither like a flower, right?
Because she was in a depressed mood and was not in good health, her parents learned that she was ill, so they took her back to a teahouse in the mountains to recuperate.
Then, in the teahouse, she met Xiaohei.
According to my parents and brothers, this boy is the grandson of the old Yang family and the cousin of the owner, Mrs. Luo.
This guy is a man who has a huge appetite, doesn't have enough to eat, doesn't know how to do any work, but is the best at being lazy and selling things off!
Everyone tolerated him in the tea house because of Mrs. Luo's face.
Even many times during breaks during work, my brother and the others would tease Xiao Hei...
Xiao Hei sometimes doesn't understand and is teased and fooled by them like a fool, but the brothers do things in a measured way and don't go too far.
Xu Qiaohong herself had teased Xiao Hei twice, but she found that Xiao Hei's reactions were different when faced with her teasing and when faced with her brothers' teasing.
For example, even if his brothers tease him in a measured way, Xiao Hei will sometimes stiffen his neck and retaliate, making everyone unable to get off the stage. ….
And sometimes I was in a bad mood, so I would directly scold him, ridicule him, and never see him angry.
Not only was he not angry, he would also say some comforting words to her.
He would even go to the woods behind the tea house to pick wild fruits for her to eat, and catch some beautiful fish from the stream to give to her.
In short, all the things he did were centered around pleasing her...
It was also from that time that Xu Qiaohong started to look at Xiao Hei in a different light seriously.
Gradually, she discovered that this fool, whom others called a fool, actually had everything in his heart and understood everything.
And, more importantly, Xiao Hei is kind to her.
Patience, sincerity, carefulness, and perseverance.
And she was very relaxed and casual when getting along with him. She could say whatever she wanted. Every move he made, no matter where he went, would be reported to her.
Growing up, he would tell her everything that happened at home and between relatives and friends.
This gave Xu Qiaohong a strange feeling, which was very subtle and wonderful.
It was obvious that he had known Xiao Hei for only a short time, but it felt like he had known him for a long time. Even when he heard those things, it felt as if he had grown up with him.
Being with Xiao Hei makes me feel at ease.
So, Xu Qiao
Hong doesn't want anything to happen to Xiao Hei.
"Xiao Hei, listen to me, your brother is not someone to be trifled with."
"Ha, I've been fighting with him since we were little. What's not to mess with?" Xiao Hei looked disapproving.
Xu Qiaohong shook her head: "No, no, no, you don't understand what I mean. I strongly suspect that your brother has blood on his hands..."
This time, Xiao Hei was even happier.
"I also have blood on my hands. I bought a chicken yesterday and killed it to make chicken soup!" He raised his big hands and looked back and forth.
Xu Qiaohong was so anxious that she stamped her feet, "Hey, what do you want me to tell you? The blood on your hand is chicken blood, and the blood on your brother's hand might be human blood!"
"How can this be the same!"
"What?" Xiao Hei thought he heard wrongly, or Xu Qiaohong said it wrong.
"How is this possible? No matter how much of a jerk my brother is, he can't possibly do things like murder and arson, right?"
Xu Qiaohong sneered: "How did your sister-in-law Hongmei hook up with your brother? You stayed in the village all day long and kept the news out of the blue, but you didn't know that the owner of Zhang Ji Zao's shop died suddenly in the town. There was a huge uproar at that time, and there were all kinds of gossip!"
"What are you talking about? Sister Qiaohong, please tell me quickly..."
"I told you it's okay, but you have to promise me not to trouble your brother again right now."
"I understand, please tell me quickly..."
"I said yes, but you have to promise not to tell your mother, let alone go to your brother to inquire or verify!"
"Oh, Sister Qiaohong, I am a fool, not a fool. Please speak up!"
In the ward.
When Xu Qiaohong and Xiao Hei came in with medicine bowls, Yang Huamei was already sitting on the bed, supported by Lao Yangtou and Tan, with two big pillows behind her.
Mrs. Tan was sitting sideways by the bed, using a handkerchief to wipe the hot sweat from Yang Huamei's forehead.
At the table, Lao Yangtou was asking about Yang Huamei's situation with Yang Huamei's attending doctor, who was also his own attending doctor.
While responding to the old man's inquiry, the attending doctor methodically put a roll of silver needles into the cowhide needle bag he carried with him.
"Mom, did you just get the injection?"
Xu Qiaohong greeted Yang Huamei and went straight to the bed with the medicine bowl.
Around this time every day during this period, the doctor would come over to give my mother-in-law an injection. Every time after the injection, she would feel hot and sweaty. She had to drink a bowl of soup while it was hot to get the best effect. These were the doctor's instructions.
So after talking about things in the kitchen earlier, Xu Qiaohong rushed to deliver the medicine at the right time. .
