The Pastoral Medicinal Fragrance of the Imperial Concubine

Chapter 30
"People in the village can't get enough to eat now, how can they sell food!" Hao said in a low voice, "Ping'er, I can't watch the children starve to death!"

Leng Ping said in a deep voice: "Who said that Shi Shi will starve to death in our house? Just because he can't eat enough to wear clothes, and can't afford to go to school?"

The woman got up from the ground, her hair was disheveled, she jumped up and cursed: "Little bitch, what nonsense are you talking about? Just because you, a pampered lady, wants to support a family? I see that you have to leave in a few days! "

Leng Ping's eyes were cold, she clasped her hands together, kneading her joints, and asked "Auntie" in a cold voice, "Do you still want to be beaten?"

When Hao Zhu got married, she was one of the most shrews in the village. When she was a girl, she had a bad reputation, and she married at thirties to make a house for someone else. Fortunately, the family has a few acres of land, which is still considered a good place in this country. A wealthy family, she is tough, and became the big shopkeeper of the family in a few years. She became more and more domineering and refused to accept anyone. Now she met Leng Ping and was kicked to the ground without saying a word. She was annoyed. Seeing Leng Ping Provocative again, and rushed forward without saying a word, Leng Ping was naturally unambiguous, knowing that this woman's claws were strong, she didn't let her get close, pulled the latch of the other door, and knocked on Hao Zhu's stomach with a stick Going up, he knocked out all the noodles he just ate and spit them all over the floor.

Hao Zhu started howling like a pig again, which made the man's face change in shock.

"Listen, Shishi doesn't go anywhere, he just lives in this house!" Standing in front of the two of them, Leng Ping said coldly with a tight face and the door latch in her hand.

"That...Hao Ren's daughter-in-law, we are all relatives. Look at what you are doing. This is your aunt after all. What's more, we also have good intentions. Shitou will follow us to eat and clothe us. We will let him if we can." Going to school, you..." The "uncle" who had been silent all this time finally spoke, and said while guarding against Leng Ping's big stick being swung down.

"His uncle, we agreed that Shitou must go to school..." Hao said in a low voice, weakly.

The man was in a difficult situation when he heard Hao Zhu cursing while laying on the ground: "Mr. Hao, you still want to become a grand master with the seed you raised? Your own daughter-in-law dares to shout at you, don't treat you as a human being!" What! We don’t want this child anymore, you should pay back the money quickly, 250 yuan, not one less!”

Today, the Hao family took eight copper coins to buy grain everywhere, and she was sure that the Hao family would not be able to spend the 250 copper coins!
"I have a hundred coins here, you take them first, and the remaining 150, you come and get them tomorrow!" Without thinking, Leng Ping threw a string of copper coins in front of Hao Zhu that she was planning to go to the city to buy medicine tomorrow.

That Hao Zhu was thinking of retreating and forcing the Hao family to make friends, but she didn't expect that Leng Ping really took out a hundred coins. She was startled, but she endured the pain and counted the copper coins, then raised her head Lai said with a sarcasm all over his face: "You think you are a fairy, 150 children a day?"

"At this time tomorrow, if I don't have any money, I'll hand it over to you!" Leng Ping said coldly.

The man looked at the hostility on Leng Ping's face, he didn't want to make a big deal out of the relatives, so he could only say: "Then let's come back tomorrow!"

As the man said, he stepped forward to help Hao Zhu up, but was brushed by Hao Zhu, with several blood marks on his face.

"You Pan Liang, you useless, your wife is beaten like this, you don't even dare to let go, I, Hao Zhu, am blind, following a useless man like you, no wonder you are worthless, you deserve to die!" Hao Zhu Zhu scolded extremely harshly, poking Pan Liang's heart with every sentence, but the man didn't say a word, just hugged Hao Zhu and left silently.

The Hao family finally regained its calm, but the calm was scary.

Hao Shi stood at the door, twisting his clothes in a daze, as if he wanted to say something, but he opened his mouth, but still had nothing to say.

"Wait, I'll get you something to eat!" Leng Ping whispered, raised an oil lamp, and stepped out the door.

"Sister!" Hao Dan wanted to chase him out, but he hadn't eaten much for three days, and with the battle just now, his legs had already weakened, and he fell to the ground all of a sudden.

Shitou and Hua'er hurried forward to help Hao Dan up.

Hao shi cried again, she was just useless, a good family has come to this point.

"Mother, don't cry, it's because Shitou is bad, Shitou is not good..." Shitou leaned in front of Hao Shi, opened a pair of small arms and hugged Hao Shi tightly and said.

Hao Shi shook her head, but the tears flowed more fiercely. She sat down on the ground and hugged the stone, whispering softly: "I'm sorry, it's not that mother doesn't want you, it's..."

"Shitou understands, Shitou understands everything!" Shitou also cried softly, his little nose twitching.

When Leng Ping came in with two cold sweet potatoes, the Hao family was crying. She didn't even look at it. She just added water to the pot, put the sweet potatoes on the steamer, covered the pot, and prepared ignition.

"Sister, I'm coming!" Hao Dan wiped away his tears and stepped forward timidly, knowing that Leng Ping couldn't light a fire.

Leng Ping handed him the fire booklet, and sat aside, her head was running quickly, thinking of ways to make money, but looking at this family, it is hard for a smart woman to cook without rice, no matter how many ways there are, she has nothing at home. There is no way.

At this moment Shitou and Hua'er stopped crying, and looked at Leng Ping cautiously, not daring to vent their anger.

Hao Dan started a fire, and the room finally smelled of smoke, a bit smoky, but there was hope in his heart.No matter what, you have to fill your stomach first.

"Ping'er, it's mother's fault. Mother sees that our family's life is really difficult. Maybe sending the stone away can give him a way of life..." Hao finally broke the silence and said in a low voice.

Shi Shi also slowly approached Leng Ping, bit his pale lips, hesitated for a long time, and then said in a low voice: "Sister-in-law, don't be angry with your mother, it's the stone that is bad, if there is no stone..."

When Leng Ping heard Shitou's words, her heart tightened. In fact, among the three children, Hao Dan was sensible and Hua Er was lively, while Shitou was relatively silent and usually didn't talk much, but was very well-behaved. Looking at today's situation, He had known for a long time that Hao Shi was going to send him away...

Leng Ping touched Shi Shi's small head, and said in a low voice: "Sister-in-law, don't be angry anymore, Shi Shi is a part of our family, how can there be no Shi Shi!"

After Leng Ping finished speaking, she turned her eyes to Hao Shi, and said in a low voice: "Mother, I was too excited just now. I have such a temper. When I get anxious, I don't distinguish between people. Don't be angry!"

Hao quickly waved his hand and said, "I won't blame you, seeing how much you love Shitou and the others, I'm too happy to be happy!"

"However!" Leng Ping's face became serious again, "Mother's heart is too kind, this world is about to eat people, mother's personality is too disadvantageous, can you discuss with me about family matters before making a decision?"
