After selling myself, I became the head of the family

Chapter 70 Gu Jiao
  The other people who originally wanted to get water from the well and go home turned their heads when they heard the man's words.

Now that the weather is getting colder, everyone goes out less frequently. They only go out to fetch water or go up the mountain to collect firewood every few days, and they stay at home on weekdays.

Mrs. Su Li covered her face with her hands in panic, and didn't care about fetching water. She carried two empty buckets and ran towards her house in a panic.

Looking at her back, the others looked at each other and saw a hint of inquiry in each other's eyes.

What's going on here?
  "Daughter-in-law of the Wu family, what did you mean by what you just said?"

An aunt glanced at Su Li's running back before turning her head and looking at the Wu family's daughter-in-law who just spoke.
  It was cold and slippery. Just now, Su Li lowered her head to fetch water and accidentally fell to the ground.

The Wu family's daughter-in-law was kind-hearted, so she went up to pull her, and what happened just now happened.

"Aunt Li, she, she has a big bruise on her face, and there are also marks made by someone's nails."

The Wu family's daughter-in-law was usually a little bored, but now that she was surrounded by everyone, she started to stutter a little.

"Bruises? Marks from being scratched?"

"Isn't it just her and her man who live in her home now..."

"I don't know, it couldn't have been scratched by Old Man Su, right?"

Several people were discussing in low voices, but no one was planning to visit Lao Su's house.

The Su Li family has a bad reputation, and no one wants to have anything to do with them.

People who don't even care about the life and death of their sons and granddaughters, if they are outsiders, they will be more likely to get into trouble.

It seems that the winter solstice is coming in a few days.

Su Yueyue and Grandma Cai are also planning to go and ask if there is any shop that can order mutton.

The mutton sent by the county magistrate has been almost eaten, so I need to drink some mutton soup during the winter solstice to nourish myself.

"By the way, Yueyue, aren't there any festivals here where everyone comes out?"

Aunt Cai was sitting in the yard warming herself by the fire. Next to her, Su Yueyue was watering the bean sprouts in the vegetable field.

During the winter solstice, you should drink mutton soup, and add a handful of pea tips to it for the best taste.

"festival?"

The little girl was stunned for a moment, and after thinking about it for a while, she realized that Grandma Cai wanted to ask if there was a day like the Mid-Autumn Lantern Festival.

"We only have firecrackers on New Year's Eve and sky lanterns on New Year's Eve. However, there should be some vendors specializing in lanterns selling lanterns that night.

It's also a good sign for Bo. "

"Then let's go take a look at it at night."

Grandma Cai said with a smile.

In the past, everyone in Kyoto would eat dumplings when the winter solstice came, but she had never met anyone who drank mutton soup on the winter solstice.

It just so happens that this time we all do as the locals do and experience a different way of life.

"Okay, but if you want to go, you have to wear thicker clothes and keep your money bag carefully. Don't worry, you will meet a little thief."

"Okay, then I will ask the young master if he wants to go with us."

Aunt Cai was most worried about Lu Xingzhou.

The young master's mood has improved a lot since he came out of Madam Feng's house a few days ago.

In the past few days, I occasionally let myself push him to go shopping outside.

Although it's cold now, as long as he is willing to go out of this small yard, it will be good.

As for the young master’s legs.

Thinking of those thin and shriveled legs, Grandma Cai felt distressed.

Now she not only takes the decoction three times a day and applies medicine at night, but also sets up a stove to roast his legs whenever the young master wakes up.
  Lu Xingzhou had to squeeze his legs extra every day to prevent his legs from becoming completely necrotic.

But even so, the young master's legs are still getting worse bit by bit.

"Mommy, don't worry too much. If it doesn't work, we will take the young master to the hospital and let Dr. Ma take a look.

He is a good man and has excellent medical skills. "

The scars on his arms have faded a lot. Although it will leave a mark, it is far better than imagined.

"Let's take another look."

Aunt Cai didn't pay much attention to taking the young master to find Dr. Ma.

The medicine the young master is taking now is specially prescribed by the famous Dr. Wen in Kyoto. If it is a disease that even he cannot cure, how can the little doctor from Qingshui Town be able to cure it?

On the day before the winter solstice, Su Yueyue met a girl when she went to order meat again.

The market was bustling with people, everyone wanted to buy something for the festival.

Su Yueyue was about to squeeze in, but her eyes were attracted by a girl on the side.

The girl only had one long braided hair, and the clothes she wore looked a little thin. She was standing outside the crowd shivering.

Feeling strange in her heart, seeing that she couldn't squeeze into the butcher shop, Su Yueyue simply turned around and walked to the girl.

"Girl, what's wrong with you?"

The girl didn't seem to hear, she just kept her head down and hugged herself without saying a word.

"girl?"

Su Yueyue spoke again, and the people in front of her seemed to have heard her words.

As soon as she raised her head, a beautiful face was revealed.

Her skin is very white, and her eyes are big, but hazy and lack light.

Seeing this made Su Yueyue's heart tighten.

Could it be that she couldn't see it?
  "Are you talking to me?"

There was a hint of probing in her tone.

"Yes, I see you standing here alone, as if you have encountered some trouble.

Do you need help? "

Su Yueyue pursed her lips and glanced at the bustling crowd behind her. She couldn't get in today, and her grandma had already ordered mutton a few days ago. I just hope the butcher shop owner will remember to stay.

"I, I can't find my brother."

The girl's tone was slightly crying, which made Su Yueyue's heart tremble.

She seemed to be a year or two younger than herself,

"What is your brother's name? Do you remember where he is now? If you remember, I will send you there."

"My name is Gu Jiao, and my brother's name is Gu Erlang. Yes, he is the fisherman here. He should be in the hospital with my mother-in-law right now. Please send me there, sister."

Gu Jiao pursed her lips and could only plead.

She was waiting for her brother and mother-in-law to return home today, but in the morning a sister suddenly came to the house.

The sister said she was a friend of my brother. My mother-in-law suddenly fell seriously ill, and my brother asked her to pick him up and take him to the hospital to find them.

But for some reason, the sister who brought me here suddenly disappeared.

She couldn't see, so she could only wait here.

But after waiting for two quarters of an hour, the sister didn't come back.

"The medical center is five streets away from this market. Why did you come here?"

Su Yueyue choked on her words, glanced at her thin clothes, and then sighed.

"My name is Su Yueyue. You won't be able to run around again in the future."

After taking off his little gown and putting it on for her, Su Yueyue was about to take the others away.

It was at this time that they saw two strong men appearing out of nowhere and blocking their way.
