The little girl of the general's house

Chapter 142 Won't Go Back Again

The house by the river has been in disrepair for a long time. There were a few households there more than ten years ago, and only two of the three families were adobe houses. At that time, the Li family was a little richer, so they built stone-brick houses.

Because of a flood seven or eight years ago, those adobe houses have already been washed away, leaving only the dilapidated and lonely house of the Li family ancestors that has not completely collapsed.

Li Yujiao carried the jar of medicine and the medicine and was walking towards the dilapidated house. What she thought was that if Li E really got smallpox, she would freeze to death and starve to death even if she didn't die of illness.

But when she walked in, she was taken aback. It turned out that Li E had already packed up a decent nest in a small corner of the room that was not ventilated.

Apart from three intact walls and one wall with a hole in it, there was no other furniture in this dilapidated house.But Li E still found a lot of pine hairs (dry pine leaves that fall from the pine trees in autumn) to make a thick layer, and spread her bedding rolls on it to make a dry bed.

When Li Yujiao entered, Li E was hiding things under the bedding in a panic, while lying down, when she looked up and saw Li Yujiao, she stopped her movements.

Li E looked at Li Yujiao in a daze: "Why are you here?"

Li Yujiao found a clean place to put the medicine jars and medicines down, and explained, "My little aunt won't let my little uncle come, so my little uncle asked me to come and see you."

Li E's eyes were still red and swollen, she must have cried for a long time last night, her voice was a little choked up: "Even if I'm dying, wouldn't my father dare to treat me better?"

Li Yujiao lowered her eyes: "However, Butcher Zhu has already withdrawn from the house, so you don't need to marry Zhu Maowang."

"Really?" Li E showed a little joy at this time, and pinched the clothes on his chest again, as if he breathed a sigh of relief, "Your hard work has not been in vain."

Hearing this, Li Yujiao took out a pair of flint and steel from her sleeve: "I think it will only be a few days before you go home."

When Li E saw what Li Yujiao had brought, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she said firmly, "I don't want to go back again! At worst, I will pretend to be sick all my life, and I don't believe that I can starve myself to death with arms and legs! When I find a way to save some money, I must leave here!"

As he spoke, he no longer hesitated, and took out the palm-sized potato from under the bedding again, and gnawed on it in small bites.

In two lifetimes, this is the first time for Li Yujiao to look at her cousin so carefully. At this moment, this cousin's eyes are full of unwillingness and stubbornness towards fate, completely different from the weak and bullied woman in her impression. .

Now, like herself in her previous life, she didn't want to accept the arrangement at home, but what she was afraid of was making a wrong step.

"Where did you come from?" Li Yujiao asked curiously.

Li E hesitated while chewing, and said weakly, "I brought it from home last night."

Li Yujiao was startled: "You are so timid, you pretended to be sick and ran back secretly, what if you were caught and saw through the scheme?"

Li E snorted softly through his nostrils: "Even if they ran into them, I'm afraid they would be in a hurry and want to send me away." After a pause, he said, "I dug these back from the ground one by one. You can’t steal it from someone else’s house when you go home.”

Hearing this, Li Yujiao frowned: "But when you go to Brother Xie, isn't what you want to get is someone else's marriage?"

Hearing what Li Yujiao said, Li E sat up slowly, looked at her cousin very solemnly, with a look of guilt on her face: "Sister Yujiao, I will never do this again. gone."
