Zisu didn't come to her senses for a long time after listening to the medicine man's words.Although I was mentally prepared, I still felt a little bit reluctant when I knew that the copper coins in my hand would be exhausted after just a few patches of medicine.

"How about it, do you want to catch it or not?" The young man Xu was used to seeing poor people like her, so he was not snobbish, so he just asked her with a pleasant face.

Zisu nodded, but still said "Why is it so expensive" in her mouth, while reaching for the copper plate hidden in the big bamboo basket.

"Because all the medicines used are good ones, Guangshen Tablets are used better, not to mention other expensive medicines." The young man looked at the penny that Zisu took out, sighed, and persuaded softly: "Don't feel bad about money, it's a good thing if people are optimistic about it."

Zisu nodded, thanked the boy, took the packaged medicine and put it in the bamboo basket, turned around and walked out.

After leaving the pharmacy, he walked onto the street, but bumped into Tao Afu's Gouwa head-on.

"Goofy!"

Zisu stood where she was, looking in surprise at Gouwa who was holding a piece of braised pig's ears wrapped in greased paper.I don't understand why Gouwa is here, and where can I get the money to buy such expensive food.But after thinking about it, it was normal for Gou Wa to come to see it as a brother-in-law because Chrysanthemum sent someone to send the letter back.

Thinking like this, I sighed in my heart, everyone has his own life!

"Zisu!" Gouwa was startled for a while, then turned around and left, walked a few steps but stopped, walked over to meet Zisu, and said softly, "Zisu, why are you in town? After saying that, he looked towards the pharmacy behind Zisu, and asked suspiciously, "Is someone in your family sick?"

Zisu nodded, and said softly, "My mother is sick."

"Auntie is sick?" Gou Wa lost his voice, "Why are you sick?"

Zisu smiled, didn't want to say more, looked at Gouwa and said, "Are you here to see your sister?"

Gouwa's expression froze, and the next moment he nodded and said, "Well, my mother is worried, so she asked me to take a look."

Zisu thought of Chrysanthemum's hatred for her, and because she was thinking of Aunt Tao at home, she said, "Oh, I'm going back to make medicine for my mother, so I'm leaving first."

"Oh, I see."

Gou Wa stepped aside and watched Zi Su's figure gradually disappear.He stood there for a while, frowned slightly, turned and walked towards Chrysanthemum's house.

Zisu lowered her head, held her breath and walked all the way forward, tightly clutching the dozen or so copper coins left in her pocket, until her cheeks were sorely bitten, and then she slowly let out the anger in her heart.

It was already half in the morning to rush back to Tao's Village, and before entering the house, Zisu heard Aunt Tao's sobbing.

"Third brother, fourth sister."

The third younger brother and fourth younger sister who were accompanying Aunt Tao in the room ran out together when they heard Zisu's voice, "Second sister is back."

Zisu took the hands of the two of them from left to right, and said softly, "Have you had breakfast yet?"

"Ate."

Zisu nodded, and said softly, "Did that mother eat?"

The third brother shook his head, "Mother won't eat it."

Zisu sighed, put the bamboo basket on her back, and said, "I'll make medicine for mother, fourth sister will help me, and third brother will accompany mother to talk."

The third brother looked at Zisu in a daze. Didn't the second sister always let him do things with him?Why did he ask Mrs. Tao to talk this time?However, even though his heart was full of doubts, he still listened to Zisu's words and walked towards the house.

Zisu looked at the back of the third brother, and noticed that since the third brother entered, Aunt Tao's crying stopped for a while, and then she let out a deep breath. It seemed that Aunt Tao understood a little bit.

"Fourth sister, come and help second sister, let's make medicine for mother, okay?"

"it is good."

Zisu built a simple stove with stones, soaked the medicine in water, put it in a clay pot, and began to decoct the medicine.

The fourth sister cuddled up to her obediently, and said softly: "Second sister, do we have no money?"

Zisu pinched the little flesh that had grown on Simei's face these days, and said softly, "Who said, we still have money."

"Really?" Fourth Sister looked at Zi Su suspiciously.

Zi Su nodded, "Of course it's true, when did Second Sister lie to you?"

The fourth sister sighed for a long time, but in the next moment, she frowned again and said, "But my mother is sick, does it cost a lot of money?"

"Second sister will find a way, fourth sister don't worry."

The fourth sister was silent for a moment, seeing that the clay pot was starting to steam, Zisu let out a little fire, changed to a small fire and boiled slowly, the fourth sister who was sitting beside her sighed softly, leaned slightly, sad He said: "Second sister, if our family really has no money, you can sell me."

When Zisu heard Simei's words suddenly, she didn't pay attention, and her hand was burned. She didn't care about the pain on her finger, she turned her head to look at Simei, and said in a sharp voice, "What nonsense are you talking about? Said to sell you."

Tears welled up in the fourth sister's big eyes, she looked at Zisu pitifully, and said with a choked voice: "I thought about it myself, I'm afraid that mother will be like father and mother, when the time comes, second sister, third brother and I will be together." No one cares."

Zisu felt like a knife was being twisted in her heart when she heard it, she suppressed the pain in her heart, hugged the fourth sister in her arms, and said softly: "No, mother will be fine, second sister will definitely kill you He and his third brother were brought up."

The fourth sister lay in Zisu's arms and wept like a wounded animal.Zisu listened to the fourth sister's cry, and the tears she had endured for a long time could no longer be controlled.

"Fourth sister, mother won't die." Zisu looked up, and saw the third brother helping Aunt Tao, who looked like a piece of paper, came out at some point. Aunt Tao looked at Zisu with complicated eyes, and then at The fourth younger sister, whose eyes were red from crying, said again: "Mother will not leave you alone. Mother will watch your second sister get married, your third younger brother marry a wife, and the fourth younger sister is looking for her husband's family."

"Mother..." Simei stood up and rushed over, hugged Aunt Tao and cried, "Mother, don't die, Simei is very good, Simei is obedient, Simei will only eat a little bit from now on... "

Zisu wiped the tears from her face, then lowered her head to look at the pot again.

Aunt Tao held her fourth younger sister in her arms, comforted her softly for a while, then turned to her third younger brother and said, "Third younger brother, take your fourth younger sister out to play."

"Well," the third brother took the fourth sister's hand and walked out.

Aunt Tao took a breath and sat down on the threshold. Zisu got up and poured a glass of water for her, then sat back to her original place silently.

"How much did these medicines cost?"

Zisu was silent for a moment, then leaned slightly, and then said softly, "It didn't cost much."

Aunt Tao looked at her quietly.

Zisu turned her head, and after a while, she said angrily, "Is money or people more important?"

Aunt Tao was startled, leaned slightly, and said softly, "I'm just asking, nothing else."

"Don't think about it, it's important to take good care of your body."

"Ok, I know."

The two of them didn't say anything else for a while.

"Go in, it's windy outside, the medicine is ready, I will bring it in."

Aunt Tao nodded, got up and walked towards the room.

Zisu waited for about half a cup of tea. Seeing that the three bowls of water in the earthenware pot were boiled until only one bowl of juice remained, she set off the fire, took the earthen pot to the side to cool down, and prepared to pour the medicinal juice into the pot. Poured out.I didn't want to, but the third brother's slightly panicked voice sounded in my ear.

"Second sister, the donkey and the dog are fighting."

Zisu was startled, looked at the third younger brother who came to report the news, and asked in confusion, "How could the two of them fight so well?"

The third brother shook his head, "I don't know."

Zisu thought for a while, then said softly: "Don't join in the fun, maybe it's not certain that the two of them have something to do."

"Yes." The third brother agreed.

Zisu couldn't see Fourth Sister, so she couldn't help asking, "Where is Fourth Sister?"

"Fourth Sister was taken by Sister Taohua to play."

Zisu nodded, "Go and find Fourth Sister, it won't be good if you hurt her in such a mess."

The third brother responded and ran out again.

Zisu took a piece of handkerchief and wrapped the pottery pot, poured the concoction into the bowl, carefully carried it into the room, and said to Aunt Tao who was on the couch, "Drink it while it's hot, the doctor said, after drinking it, you'll be sweating a lot, and you'll be sick." It will get better soon."

"Okay." Aunt Tao took the medicine bowl and drank it one mouthful at a time.

Zisu knew how bitter the medicine was, but seeing Aunt Tao drinking it down without frowning, she couldn't tell what it was like for a while.After Aunt Tao drank all the medicine in the bowl, she quickly poured a bowl of cold water and handed it over.

"Rinse your mouth."

Aunt Tao took it and took a few sips before she felt a little sensation on her tongue, which was so bitterly numb.Handing the empty bowl to Zisu, he said softly, "Since I can only lie down these days and can't do anything outside, let's start sewing winter clothes."

Zisu nodded, "Be careful, if you can't bear it, you can rest more."

"Well, I know."

Aunt Tao was about to ask Zisu what her plans were next, but she didn't want the fourth sister's cry to be heard outside the door.

"Second sister, second sister, third brother and Gou Wa are fighting."

Zisu was taken aback for a moment, then ran out the next moment, pulled the fourth sister into her arms, and asked anxiously, "Where is he? Where did they start fighting?"

The fourth sister stopped crying, and said with a sob: "Gou Wa said Brother Donkey Dan and you are on good terms, so Third Brother rushed up to beat him."

After hearing what Simei said, Zisu froze at first, but the next moment, she stood up, ran out, and said to Aunt Tao who had already chased to the door, "You wait at home, I will send you to the door right away." Bring the third brother back."

In the grain drying field at the head of the village, the third younger brother is not afraid of Gouwa, who is a full head taller than him, his eyes are red like an angry bull, and he glared at Gouwa, angrily said: "You Dare to say it again, and see if I don't knock out your teeth."

"Just say it, there is nothing you dare not say!" Gouwa glared at the third brother with a pale face, and said loudly: "Tao Zisu is a shameless coquettish fox, she seduces everyone..."

"I'll kill you." The third brother rushed up with an "ow" but unexpectedly a hand stretched out from behind and grabbed him. "Let go of me, let me go..." But no matter how hard he struggled, the hand behind him grabbed him firmly, and said in a cold voice, "What are you messing around with? Telling you to call Simei back, what are you doing?" I got into a fight with someone here."

The third younger brother turned around and saw Zisu with furious eyebrows. The third younger brother who had never cried when his nose was bruised and his face was swollen from the beating now burst into tears. , I just want to kill him."

Zisu looked up at Gouwa who was looking at him with cool eyes, and said angrily, "Why did you fight with the third brother?"

"He hit me first." Gou Wa pointed at his third brother and said loudly, "He hit me first. If you don't believe me, ask someone else."

Zisu looked at him without looking back, and followed closely, "Why did he hit you?"

Gou Wa's expression froze, he tilted his head slightly, but remained silent.

"Ask you, why did he beat you?" Zisu raised her voice, looked at Gouwa and said, "Why, the dog bit off his tongue, so he can't speak."

"Just say it!" Gouwa was provoked by her, his face flushed, and he said angrily, "I said you were a coquettish fox, so he came up and beat me."

"Then why am I a coquettish fox?" Zisu looked at Gouwa calmly, "Who did I seduce, who did I seduce? You want to call me a coquettish fox."

"You seduced my brother-in-law!" Gouwa said angrily, "My brother-in-law is in jail because of you. You are not a coquettish fox, what are you?"

"Fuck!" Zisu raised her hand before catching up and slapped Gouwa on the face, but because of her size and Gouwa was a boy, Gouwa dodged her before she could slap her. , raised his foot and kicked at Zisu, cursing: "You still don't admit it, donkey, he beat me because of you, you are not a coquettish fox..."

There was a crisp sound of "snap".

Gouwa touched his face that was slapped by Zisu, and was stunned, as if he couldn't figure out how he was slapped by Zisu.

Zi Su took a big step back with a sneer after she succeeded, and looked at Gou Wa with a vicious gaze, "Your brother-in-law? Pooh, the whole family is dirty and pickled. Your sister helped your brother-in-law lie to my mother. He shouldn’t go to jail for robbing my family’s money? Then who will go to jail! I seduce him, I’ll bah, you don’t take pictures of him, what kind of thing is he!”

"You're talking nonsense, it's obviously you..."

"What is it?" Zisu glared at Gouwa, "Do you want to invite the head of the village to ask what's going on? Let me tell you, if it weren't for the fact that everyone is in the same village, I wouldn't even your sister. I also sued together, and let her eat in prison together, if you don't believe me, try it."

Gouwa turned pale, and looked at Zisu with hatred and anger, he knew what the truth was.He didn't doubt the truth of Zisu's words, and wanted to hit her, but the place on his face where he was slapped was still painful, not to mention that there was a dark face on one side, and he wanted to rush up The third brother who bit him.

"Get lost," Zisu yelled at Gouwa, "It's just a piece of human skin for nothing."

Zisu turned around and took the third brother's hand, and said softly, "Did you hit me?"

"No." The third brother shook his head, looked at Zisu anxiously, and said in one voice, "That person really lied to you and mother, and wanted to steal our family's money?"

Zisu nodded.

"Could it be him who stole our rabbit?"

Zisu shook her head, and said softly: "It wasn't him, he had already been spotted by others, how could he find our house and steal our rabbit!"

"Don't let me catch him, I can't beat him to death if I catch him!" The third brother's vicious voice sounded.

Zisu, however, sighed, and glanced sideways at the spectators with different gazes. She and Aunt Tao didn't mention the chrysanthemum issue, fearing that it would spread far and wide.Now it seems that a gossip is indispensable!

"Why did the horrific egg fight Gouwa?" Zisu asked while leading the third brother home.

The third brother shook his head, "I don't know."

Zi Su was silent for a moment, looked towards Tao Bashui's house, and met a pair of eyes that hesitated to speak.
