The peasant widow is famous all over the world

Chapter 24 Smiling like a little fool

Lu Zheng raised his hand towards Mrs. Li to stop her next words. He looked at Tang Mian and continued: "But since you are keeping him, you must be mentally prepared. If he cannot be cured in the future, you will have to watch. He died in front of you."

Tang Mian was shocked, "Dad, I understand. I will work hard to make money and take good care of Zhuangzhuang."

"As long as you understand, go and see Zhuang Zhuang." Lu Zheng waved to Tang Mian and said.

Tang Mian looked at Lu Zheng and Li with gratitude, "Thank you, dad, thank you, mom."

After Tang Mian left, Mrs. Li looked at Lu Zheng with some reproach, "Why did you agree so easily?"

Lu Zheng exhaled and said, "When I met Sister-in-law Fang before, she was walking and talking with several young women in the village. I vaguely heard something, which probably meant that Zhuangzhuang was killed in order to protect Mianniang. Chen was accidentally injured."

"What? How did Zhuangzhuang get injured like this?" Li Shi shouted in surprise, feeling a little shaken in her heart.

"What did Mrs. Chen and the others say?"

Lu Zheng snorted coldly, "What else can I say, but it's just what I heard this morning, and what's more, Mian Niang is angry and so on."

"These are nonsense." Mrs. Li snorted.

Lu Zheng was also tired of them making irresponsible remarks, "That's why I didn't strongly object to Mian Niang leaving Zhuang Zhuang."

"All the good people asked you to do it." Mrs. Li glared at Lu Zheng angrily, "Go and feed the chickens and clean up the chicken pen."

Lu Zheng smiled nonchalantly and said, "Okay, I'll go right away."

Mrs. Li glared at him again, got up and went to the kitchen to watch the fire.

Lu Zheng smiled happily, got up and walked out of the main room. He had to feed the chickens and clean up the chicken coop.

You have to feed it well!
An egg is given to Zhuang Zhuang every day to replenish his health, and the rest is exchanged for money.

On the other side, Tang Mian returned to the room and smiled relaxedly when he saw the little guy sleeping peacefully.

"Little one, sleep peacefully, you have a family again." Tang Mian pulled the thin quilt for Zhuang Zhuang and said.

As if he heard Tang Mian's words, Zhuang Zhuang opened his eyes drowsily and shouted weakly: "Auntie."

"Zhuangzhuang, you're awake. Are you feeling uncomfortable? Do you want some water?" Tang Mian asked with concern on his face.

When he woke up, he saw Tang Mian. Zhuang Zhuang was very happy, grinning widely.

"Auntie, I'm not feeling uncomfortable and I don't want to drink water."

Tang Mian relaxed a little, "As long as you don't feel uncomfortable. If you feel uncomfortable, you must tell me, you know?"

Zhuang Zhuang frowned and said nothing. Tang Mian thought something was really wrong with him and asked anxiously: "What's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"

Zhuang Zhuang said angrily: "They say bad things about my aunt, which makes me uncomfortable."

Tang Mian was stunned for a moment, then smiled, "Didn't Zhuang Zhuang bite her hard already, so there's no need to feel uncomfortable."

The little guy pursed his lips, "Zhuangzhuang is stupid, he was pushed away by her, and he was injured."

Tang Mian quickly comforted him, "No, Zhuang Zhuang is very smart and brave. Auntie would like to thank Zhuang Zhuang. I am very happy that Zhuang Zhuang protects me so much."

"Really?" Zhuang Zhuang blinked his dark eyes and asked a little embarrassedly.

Tang Mian answered him affirmatively, "Really."

"You are very weak now. You have to have a good rest and sleep for a while, be good!" Tang Mian gently touched Zhuang Zhuang's head and said.

The little guy doesn't want to sleep, and he won't be able to see his aunt when he falls asleep.

"Auntie, can you tell me another story?"

He wanted to hear it, but he couldn't hear it after he left.

Tang Mian was slightly stunned. This little guy loves to listen to stories so much?
"Auntie, don't worry, I will leave when I can walk again." Thinking of leaving, Zhuang Zhuang felt very depressed.

Tang Mian smiled and said, "You don't have to leave, you can stay at this home from now on."

Zhuang Zhuang's eyes widened and he looked at Tang Mian in disbelief.

"Auntie, what does this mean?"

Tang Mian explained with a patient smile, "It means that from now on, Zhuangzhuang and I will be a family." "Really?" Zhuangzhuang's eyes suddenly became very bright.

Tang Mian nodded affirmatively, "Of course it's true, Auntie won't lie to you."

"Yeah, yeah, Zhuangzhuang believes in auntie." The little guy couldn't help but grinned, showing his white teeth at Tang Mian, smiling like a little fool.

"Since you trust your aunt, then sleep well and take good care of yourself so that your aunt won't worry." Tang Mian took the opportunity to make a request.

Zhuangzhuang took all the photos and said, "Yeah, yeah."

Whatever Tang Mian said now, he would do it.

Seeing Zhuang Zhuang obediently closing his eyes, Tang Mian was in a good mood.

After coaxing him to sleep again, Tang Mian went out to the kitchen to see how the medicine was going.

Walking into the kitchen, Mrs. Li was pouring medicine out of the earthen jar.

"mother."

Li Shi raised her eyes and asked, "How about Zhuang Zhuang?"

"He woke up just now, but I put him to sleep again." Tang Mian walked over and took the earthen pot from Li's hand.

The concoction inside had been poured out, and Tang Mian added some water into it and continued to boil it.

Li let go of her hand and responded, "Yes."

"When are you going to go up the mountain to collect herbs?"

Tang Mian put the earthen pot with water on the small stove and said, "I will prepare it today and go early tomorrow morning."

Some medicinal materials require tools when picking them, and she has to prepare them well today.

Mrs. Li sighed slightly in her heart. If their family had some good luck, they wouldn't be like this.

"Mian Niang, you must pay attention to safety. If you can't collect medicinal materials in exchange for money, we will find another way."

"Mom, don't worry, I'm just outside. I don't go there often on weekdays. It's very safe!" Tang Mian said while adding firewood to the small stove.

She won't be going to the inner perimeter at the moment.

Li thought about it, she was too nervous.

The main reason is that their family can no longer withstand the slightest disturbance.

At this time, Lu Zheng also came to the kitchen carrying a dustpan.

Mrs. Li frowned and looked at Lu Zheng, "Didn't I ask you to clean up the chicken coop? What are you doing in the kitchen?"

When Tang Mian heard Li's words, he turned back to Lu Zheng and shouted, "Dad."

Lu Zheng responded to Tang Mian and raised the dustpan in his hand, "I'll shovel some ash and pour it into the chicken coop."

Mrs. Li nodded, "Okay, go ahead and don't finish shoveling. You'll need to plant vegetables in a few days."

"Okay." Lu Zheng responded.

The fire in the small stove grew stronger and stronger, and soon the water boiled.

Tang Mian opened the lid of the earthen pot and put it aside, then stirred the soup with a spoon.Then remove some of the firewood and simmer slowly over low heat.

"Mom, the medicine is still in the jar. Please help me watch the fire."

She wanted to take a look inside the space while she had some time.

"Okay, if you have anything to do, just go and get busy. I'll keep an eye on you." Mrs. Li agreed readily.

Tang Mian said thank you and returned to the house.

"Old man, do you think Mian Niang can really do what she says?" Li asked, looking at Tang Mian's leaving figure.
