"Ming'er, did you hear that? Gillian has suffered so much because of you. If you dare to bully her and make her sad in the future, you will be the first to be your mother!" Mrs. Zhou wiped away her tears. A very serious warning to Zhou Ming.
Faced with the threat from his mother, Yi Ming did not dare to be negligent, and quickly nodded in agreement, and then continued to ask Huan'er: "What happened next?"
After seeing the reactions of the Zhou family's mother and son after hearing the story, Huan'er felt very relieved. Seeing the worried looks on their faces, Huan'er thought that they must be very worried about their young lady. After all the hard work she put in, she finally didn't have any problems. Wrong person.
She glanced outside a few times to confirm that her young lady still hadn't come back, then she put her heart in her stomach and continued: "At the beginning, Mr. Lin didn't take the young lady's hunger strike seriously. He thought that the young lady was just childish. , deliberately showing off his temper, and after a few days, he will eat obediently when he is hungry.
As a result, things turned out far beyond his expectation. Four or five days passed, and my lady was still struggling. No matter who tried to persuade her, it was of no avail.
At this time, Mr. Lin started to panic, and he sent people in turn to persuade the young lady, hoping that she would eat early, but it was all in vain. Even if Mrs. Lin went to persuade her in person, my young lady remained silent.
On the seventh day, my young lady fell unconscious. The whole family was frightened and called a doctor immediately.
The doctor came and said that if my young lady continued her hunger strike, her life would be in danger within a day. "
Speaking of this, Huan'er couldn't help but think of the situation at that time. Originally, Lin Ajiao was a martial arts practitioner and was in very good health. However, after seven days of starvation, her face was pale and skinny, and she even had no strength to speak.
Although she was still very young at the time, she was still very worried when she saw the young lady like that, for fear that if she didn't pay attention, the young lady would never wake up again.
The more Zhou Yiming listened, the sadder he felt. He clenched his fists involuntarily, as if there were countless knives cutting into his heart. He felt furious in his heart, but he didn't know who to vent this anger on.
If he puts all the blame for Lin Ajiao's suffering on Mr. Lin, the final result will be to swallow his anger. After all, no matter how vicious Mr. Lin was at the time, he will always be Lin Ajiao's father and his own. My old father-in-law, if I really did something to him, not only would Lin Ajiao feel distressed, but it would also be inappropriate to spread the word.
Mrs. Zhou was already in tears. She had always believed that the reason why the Lin family did not withdraw from the marriage was entirely because of the excellence of her son and the past friendship between the two families. Only today did she realize that these thoughts were all wishful thinking on her part. , the real reason why the two families did not dissolve the marriage was because Lin Ajiao threatened to die.
After Lin Ajiao married into the Zhou family, Mrs. Zhou had been acting like her mother-in-law and bossing around in front of Lin Ajiao, for fear of losing face and letting her daughter-in-law get on top of her. Only then did she realize that what she was doing was How stupid.
She secretly vowed in her heart that as long as she lived for a day in the future, she would treat Lin Ajiao well, treat her as her own, and love her as her own daughter.
Although he knew in his heart that Lin Ajiao escaped that ordeal and successfully broke through the door of hell, Zhou Yiming still couldn't bear it and continued to listen to this story because he really couldn't stand Lin Ajiao suffering for him. What he couldn't accept even more was that when Lin Ajiao was suffering, he was powerless and didn't even know about it.
"Later, how did the lady get through this difficulty?" Zhou Ming hesitated for a moment, and finally mustered up the courage to ask this question that frightened him.
"Alas..." Huan'er sighed deeply, calmed down, and said, "The doctor gave such a diagnosis at that time, which frightened Mrs. Lin. She hurriedly told Mr. Lin the news. In the end, the master had no choice but to give up the plan of breaking off the engagement. He even came to my young lady's bedside in person, told her the news, and begged her to eat quickly and stop degrading her body.
It was only then that my young lady opened her eyes with difficulty and nodded with tears in her eyes.
Seeing that the young lady finally stopped going on hunger strike, the whole Lin family was very happy. Everyone rushed to prepare delicious food for the young lady, but the doctor stopped them.
At that time, the doctor said that the young lady had been on a hunger strike for a long time and was very weak. Her spleen and stomach had gradually lost the ability to digest food. If she wanted to make the young lady better, she had to slowly recuperate and gradually restore her body's functions. "
Zhou Yi Ming Bingxue is smart. After listening to Huan'er's words, he already understood in his heart that the reason why Huan'er refused his order just now must be for this reason. After all, his mother's current situation is almost the same as Lin Ajiao's situation at that time. the same.
"The doctor also said," Huan'er also realized that the story was getting to the point, so she became more and more enthusiastic as she spoke, "With a physique like the young lady at that time, one must not eat a lot of food or eat food that is difficult to digest, otherwise she will not be able to bear it and will get sick. If it has a reaction, life may be in danger.
The best way to treat her is to let her drink rice soup first, so that her spleen and stomach can gradually adapt to the food, and then let her eat rice porridge to slowly regain her strength.
After a day or two, gradually add nutrients and resume a normal diet. Only in this way can the young lady's life be saved. "
No matter how stupid Mrs. Zhou was, after hearing this, she finally understood Huan'er's good intentions. She couldn't help but stretched out her hand to take the little maid into her arms, and said with a guilty look on her face: "Good boy, it's all my fault." Okay, I made the mistake of blaming you. I didn’t expect that you were wholeheartedly doing it for my own good. It’s just that I’m an old fool, but I’m a dog biting Lu Dongbin and don’t know a good heart.”
Huan'er had already forgotten her grievances, but after hearing what Mrs. Zhou said, she suddenly felt sad. Thinking of the sad things, she burst into tears, but her words were still very considerate:
"Old madam, please don't say that. We are slaves and our lives belong to the master. What does it matter if we feel a little wronged?"
"Nonsense!" Mrs. Zhou liked Huan'er even more when she saw that Huan'er was so considerate and nice to talk to. "Who said you are a slave? From today on, I will recognize you as my daughter. From now on, no one in the Zhou family will dare to take anything from you." You treat him like a slave, and I will never spare him."
Huan'er was still immersed in grievance, but when she suddenly heard this unexpected joy, she reacted, stopped crying, stood up, walked to Mrs. Zhou, and knelt down on the ground with a plop: "Mother, above, Please bow to me little girl!"
Mrs. Zhou was smiling from ear to ear. She temporarily forgot about the hunger in her belly. With the last breath of strength, she stood up reluctantly, helped Huan'er up, hugged her with a kind face, and kept shouting. Sweetheart.
Looking at the scene in front of him, Zhou Ming was stunned, as if he suddenly became an outsider.
Where is this going? Why did I suddenly get a younger sister out of nowhere?
"What are you looking at?" After noticing Zhou Ming's strange eyes, Mrs. Zhou glared angrily and asked loudly, "Do you have any objections to my taking in this daughter? Let me tell you, it's useless to have objections. Today, this daughter I It’s settled!
If she hadn't served me so well last night, maybe I would have met the King of Hell by now, and you wouldn't have been able to see me as a mother. "
Zhou Yiming was so frightened that he quickly hid back and kept denying: "How dare I have an opinion? Mom, you have such a good sense. You have accepted such a considerate girl for me. It's too late for me to be happy. !
Come on, I'm superfluous here anyway, so I won't bother you mother and daughter anymore. I'll go to the kitchen and make you a bowl of porridge myself. Is that okay? "
Huan'er, who was held in Mrs. Zhou's arms, couldn't stop laughing happily when she saw Zhou Yiming's funny look.
Mrs. Zhou pretended to have a serious face and said: "You know what's going on, go and come back quickly. Don't forget to get your sister something delicious too. She has been hungry all day!"
"Yes! You two are waiting here to eat delicious food. I'll go to the kitchen first." Zhou Yiming replied with a smile on his face, then turned around and walked out of the study and walked towards the kitchen.
Originally, Zhou Yiming planned to go out quickly to find his wife and old father. After all, if they never got news of his return, they would definitely keep looking like headless flies.
But now that the old mother is so hungry, and there is only a little maid waiting in front of him, he really can't get away. Even if he hard-heartedly goes out to find someone, he will still feel worried about the old mother.
So he planned to settle his old mother here first, and then go out to look for his father and wife.
Walking to the door of the kitchen, Zhou Yiming was startled. He found that the kitchen door was open and the things inside were scattered and messy. It was obvious that the servants in the kitchen were suddenly called away while they were working, so they still had to leave. No time to clean up.
Zhou Yiming walked into the kitchen and smelled a strange smell. He searched for the source of the smell several times, and finally found that it was a piece of meat on the chopping board that had not been handled for a long time and had become stinky.
He quickly pinched his nose, put a piece of rag on it, and threw the rotten and smelly piece of meat out. Then he returned to the kitchen and took a closer look, and found that the situation he was facing was very difficult.
Apparently the servants in the kitchen were making dinner before leaving. Many of the ingredients had been processed by them but not put into the pot. The ingredients had deteriorated after being left for a long time and were no longer edible.
Zhou Yiming let out a long sigh, thinking that I didn't know how to cook in the first place, but now it's better. It's so hard to stutter. I have to clean up the garbage before doing it. Isn't this going to cost me my life?
But I was still hungry. He didn't have time to worry here at all, so he rolled up his sleeves and simply cleaned up the spoiled ingredients in the kitchen. Then he took out some rice from the rice vat, washed it, and put it into the big pot. Inside, add water, light the firewood, and start cooking rice porridge.
Since it was his first time to cook, he kept opening the lid of the pot to check during the steaming process, for fear that the rice porridge in the pot would be burnt.
