After dressing as a peasant woman, I tried my best to clean up

Chapter 8 Seems to have discovered Li Erlang's secret

"Mother, shall I take you to Langzhong Li's house to see your feet before you go home?" Li Erlang suggested after going down the mountain,

"Alright." Li Fanghua nodded,

Li Erlang came to Li Langzhong's house with Li Fanghua on his back, and Li Langzhong happened to be at home. When he saw Li Erlang entering the door with Li Fanghua on his back, he hurriedly greeted him and said, "What's wrong? Why are you still carrying it?"

"It's okay, I just sprained my ankle." Li Fanghua hurriedly said,

"Big sister, I'm not talking about you. We're already getting old, so we have to be more careful in what we do in the future. Fortunately, we just sprained our ankle. If we hurt our bones, we'll have to suffer!" Li Langzhong showed Li Fanghua's foot. nagging,
You are only a few years old!Li Fanghua rolled her eyes in her heart, her 40 years old would be regarded as the right age in modern times, okay~humph!
"Look, it's all swollen. You take my ointment and apply it every morning and evening. It will be fine in three or two days." Li Langzhong handed the medicine to Li Erlang and said,

"Thank you Doctor Li, how much is this, I will send it to you later." Li Erlang said,
"My folks in the village, I will charge you thirty cash for your hard work." Li Langzhong said,
"Okay, I'll bring it to you later." Li Erlang squatted in front of Li Fanghua again, ready to carry her home.

"Big sister, what are you doing here? You twisted your feet like this?" Li Lang asked gossipingly,

"It's just being bored at home, and I went up the mountain with Erlang." Li Fanghua replied aggrievedly,
"If you want me to tell you, you don't know your blessings even if you are in the midst of blessings. If you are far away, just look at the little jujube in our village. Look how bad his life is. He was injured today and came to me to catch some. Herbal medicine!" Li Langzhong chatted,
Originally, I just said something casually, but I didn't want Li Erlang to ask excitedly: "What's wrong with Xiaozao?"

Li Fanghua raised his eyebrows and said inwardly: Yoho, it's rare to see Li Erlang care about others so much, there is a situation!

"What else can I do? If it falls into the hands of her stepmother, can it be good? I beat it every three days, and I beat it every two days. I don't know why today. The beating was a little bit harder. She might Some came to me to get the wound medicine because they couldn't stand it, and told me to hide it from her parents and return me a little bit after selling wild vegetables, alas, poor people." Li Langzhong said,
"Does his father care about Xiaozao like this?" Li Fanghua asked,
"Since ancient times, there has been a stepmother and a stepfather. It is nothing new. Poor Xiaozao, her mother died at birth, and there is such a birthmark on her face. Naturally, she is not liked by her own father. It's Keqin, I think she has a bad life!" Li Langzhong said,
"Oh, what a poor man!" Li Fanghua didn't understand the specifics of what happened, so he could only follow with emotion,
Li Erlang carried Li Fanghua on his back and walked home. When he passed by a house, he heard the woman's harsh voice from inside: "You little hoof, you dare to buy medicine secretly. You want to let the whole village Everyone is chewing on my old lady's tongue behind her back, saying that my old lady abused you, right? See if I don't beat you to death, you wicked brat!"

"Which one is this?" Li Fanghua asked,

"This is Xiaozao's house, Zhou's house." Li Erlang said,

"This stepmother, Mrs. Zhou, is a pungent one." Li Fanghua said, "This little date is pitiful."

Li Erlang didn't say anything, stood at the door and clenched his fists, and then let go. After a long time, Li Erlang walked home with Li Fanghua on his back.

Li Fanghua secretly thought: It seems that Li Erlang doesn't seem to be very ordinary about this little jujube, so he should inquire about it when he finds time!

Pushing open the door and returning home, Damei in the yard saw that Li Fanghua was being carried back, she was shocked and hurried forward and asked, "Mom, what's wrong with you?"

"It's okay, it's just a sprained ankle. Doctor Li has already prescribed medicine." Li Fanghua explained,

"Mother, go back to the house and I'll give you the medicine," Damei hurriedly opened the door, helped Li Fanghua finish the preparation and gave her the medicine. Li Erlang walked out silently.

"Mom, you must be hungry after walking all morning. I'll bring you some food in the pot." Damei asked courteously after applying the ointment.

"Alright, you can bring some to Erlang too, he must be starving after carrying me all the way." Li Fanghua said,

Damei nodded and went out to serve the meal. Li Fanghua thought, this daughter-in-law is a virtuous and thoughtful person, just as she was thinking, Damei came in again with the meal.
"Mother, I think the second uncle seems to have gone out. This is the lunch reserved for you. I will sit in the pot and warm the second uncle's portion. I will eat it when he comes back." Da Mei put the food on the table. said,
Li Fanghua raised her eyebrows: She seems to have discovered Li Erlang's secret!

"Damei, sit and talk with me!" Li Fanghua said while eating,
Damei sat on the side nervously and said, "Mother, tell me."

"Damei, do you know about the Zhou family in our village? They have a man named Zhou Xiaozao." Li Fanghua asked tentatively.
"Mom, why did you suddenly think of asking them?" Damei asked strangely, but she let go of her anxiety.
"It's nothing, I just heard that Xiaozao was beaten by his stepmother at Li Langzhong, so I just chatted casually," Li Fanghua said,

"I only heard about it later. This Xiaozao's mother passed away as soon as she was born. Because there was a birthmark on her forehead, everyone said it was unknown. Later, his father married his stepmother and gave birth to a younger sister for him. And my younger brother, I treated him worse and worse, and I was abused and grew up since I was a child." Damei said,
"In this way, Xiaozao is pitiful." Li Fanghua sighed,

"It's also fate, alas, who made her born to be the fate of keqin!" Damei said,

"What restraint? Mother doesn't believe this, and Damei, don't believe it!" Li Fanghua corrected,
"Well, I listen to mother!" Damei nodded obediently,
"Okay, I'm done eating too!" Li Fanghua wiped her mouth and said to herself: From this point of view, this Xiaozao's childhood experience seems to be somewhat similar to that of Erlang, and perhaps it is because of Erlang that he paid more attention to her. In the end, we still have to find an opportunity to check on Erlang.
"Okay, mother, then you have a good rest!" Damei was about to leave the house with the food in her hand.

"Why didn't you see Da Ya, and Xiao Lan doesn't seem to be at home?" Li Fanghua asked casually,
"Da Ya went out to dig wild vegetables, Xiao Lan." Da Mei paused,
"What did Xiao Lan do?" Li Fanghua frowned, thinking that Da Ya was only five years old, and she went to the mountains to dig wild vegetables, and she was also a child who could endure hardships.

"Xiaolan went to look for Wu Xiucai." Damei said honestly,
Li Fanghua frowned, then waved his hand, telling Damei to step down. The people in this family have their advantages, but they also have many disadvantages. Hey, take your time step by step!
The most urgent thing is to heal the foot injury first!
