Dressed as an evil mother-in-law, I will clean up and take the whole family away

Chapter 29 Dying Wish

When they arrived at the medicine hall, Doctor Liu took Yang Wen and Xiao Si to study in the backyard and did not come out once all morning.

Lin Ling took medicine by herself all morning. She finally finished her work and took a breath. It was noon again and it was time to make lunch.

Right at the door, there is a long list of people selling things, including eggs from their own chickens, various vegetables grown by themselves, as well as pork stalls, chicken and duck stalls, and most people gather at the meat stalls.

The drought was severe and the price of vegetables was almost as high as that of meat. Lin Ling walked around half a circle and found that eggs were still cheaper. She bought five, grabbed a small handful of leeks, bought another cabbage, and went to the meat stall to cut it. I ate half a catty of meat and started a pot to light the fire when I got back.

Add the leek and eggs to the meat and cabbage soup, sprinkle with a few small leeks, and the aroma comes out immediately.

She asked for a little more fat from the meat she bought, and now the soup is all oily.

Yang Wen came over to smell the smell and took a deep breath: "It smells so good!"

Xiaosi came running over to look at the food in the pot. It was more delicious than what my sister-in-law cooked, but didn’t my mother know how to cook?
  She lowered her head when she thought about her brother saying that her mother just wanted to be lazy.

"Don't want to eat?" Lin Ling saw something was wrong with Xiaosi and touched her head. Seeing the faint hatred in her eyes when she raised her head, she smiled even more kindly!
  "What's wrong? Nyonya, are you unhappy?"

"No, Mom said she can't cook!" Xiao Si shouted out and shrank behind Dr. Liu.

Regarding this, both Doctor Liu and Yang Wen felt that it was nothing compared to those unruly things about women.

Doctor Liu sat down while Yang Wen scooped up the rice.

Lin Ling didn't expect this, so she made up an excuse: "I've been brewing medicine here every day, and I've mastered the dosage and formula. Once I cooked it, I felt it was okay. This is my first time too."

"Really?" Xiaoxi's dark eyes revealed pure trust: "Then I want to eat."

Four people sit around.

The taste of the food is actually very average, it just looks good.

The three of them completely believed Lin Ling's words, and Doctor Liu also said, "Yang Wen will do it in the future."

"Ah? Isn't it delicious?" Lin Ling asked with a smile. To be honest, she thought it was not as good as Li Wuniang's.

Doctor Liu put down his bowl and chopsticks: "I don't have long to eat good food, and I don't want to waste it by you."

If you say this, doesn't she have one less job to do? Lin Ling was very happy.

After eating, they continued to study. Lin Ling stayed at the counter and continued practicing calligraphy.

She tried to memorize yesterday's five words, but then found that she could only write three correctly, so she memorized and wrote again.

After the afternoon passed, Doctor Liu still came out with a smile: "Not bad, Yang Wen, you have to work hard." After saying that, he went up to the second floor.

Although Yang Wen still looked depressed, it was lighter than yesterday.

"Diligence makes up for weakness." Lin Ling pointed to the writing on the table and motioned for Yang Wen to read it.

Only then did Yang Wen realize that she couldn't even read the words: "You can still study medicine, it's really..." He thought of Gu Panxue. This little girl couldn't read either, so he actually had an advantage.

"Let's go back first." Lin Ling hugged Xiaosi who was already floating, and walked straight to the entrance of the town. When she saw two figures beside the carriage, she sighed.

It seems that the job of picking up horse manure is not that simple.

Knowing that mother would misunderstand, the boss walked over to him before anyone could come up to him, and explained with a smile: "Mom, shopkeeper Cheng has promised to let me stay. I will go home to pack my clothes today, and the next time I will come back may be half a month later." ”

"That's great!" Lin Ling patted his shoulder happily: "My son is capable." The boss touched his head and his ears turned red.

After getting on the carriage, Master Ma kept praising him: "Pan Rui is strong, can endure hardships, and learns quickly. It won't be long before he can train horses by himself. By then, Shopkeeper Cheng and I will Please intercede and let him drive the horse."

The boss who knows the situation in the stable knows that there are people there who have raised horses for a lifetime. Is this the difference between those who are noble and those who are not? What others need two or three years to do, he only needs a few months.

He silently accepted the compliments.

Seeing that he was not in a good mood, Lin Ling thanked Master Ma on his behalf: "Your kindness will be remembered by my Gu family."

"Hate, tell me this." Lao Ma waved his hands indifferently and said: "My mother is eighty years old this year and often feels headaches and dizziness. I think her end is approaching. I wonder if you can hold her breath and wait for her. The sister came to see her for the last time.”

Speaking of this, his voice choked up: "The situation has gotten worse in the past two days. Except for Dr. Liu, who is inconvenient to go out for consultation, the other doctors said that it will only last these two days. You are my last hope."

Lin Ling understood why Lao Ma had to help her settle the boss before speaking. This was not a small matter. Hanging on the life of a dying person required a lot of tonics, such as ginseng, which was a big sum.

"The last hope is out of the question, I can only try my best."

The implication of her words is that she should do her best and obey fate.

The old horse nodded and turned the carriage around to go to Majiazhuang next door.

The journey was not far, and within half an hour of riding in the carriage, we saw the village.

Lao Ma's house is just at the entrance of the village. It has five houses and is covered with tiles. These days, people who don't have a house with no money cannot use tiles. For example, Gu's house is made of thatch and needs to be repaired frequently to ensure that it does not leak.

"Please." Lao Ma opened the far door.

Lin Ling got off the carriage, and the boss followed with Xiaosi in his arms.

The yard was paved with stones and a big tree was planted. There was a stone table and a wicker chair under the tree. Lying on the wicker chair, the leisurely days were just how Lin Ling imagined her old life.

She withdrew her gaze and looked at the first room on the left.

Hearing the call, Lao Ma's daughter-in-law Liu opened the door slightly and walked out. When she saw Lin Ling, her eyes immediately flashed with hostility: "Who is she?"

"Doctor, I'm here to treat my mother." After the introduction, Lao Ma smiled and opened the door: "Come and take a look."

"Okay." Seeing Liu's hostility disappear, Lin Ling realized that there was something missing in the yard, a child.

She had already entered the room, and there was a faint smell of feces and urine that could not be dispersed even if the window was opened. Under the clean and refreshing quilt, there was an old woman with gray hair, a face the size of a palm, and skin and bones.

Not much of her white silk stockings were left, and her breathing was very weak, but she didn't appear to be in any pain.

Lin Ling stepped forward to check her pulse, closed her eyes for a moment and then opened them with a look of embarrassment: "Your Majesty is just old. If you want to hang your life, you will have to suffer. If you don't have to wait, I still suggest forget it."

Once your life has reached that point, there will be nothing but pain if you continue to hold on.

Lao Ma listened to what he had heard dozens of times, walked to the bedside, held his mother's head in his hands, lowered his head and asked softly: "Mom, do you want to wait?"

The woman's originally squinted eyes opened at that moment, horribly wide.

"I, I want it."
