rural little doctor girl

Chapter 10 Homecoming
"Second Sister!" Lin Xiaohan ran towards Lin Guyu overjoyed, hurriedly hugged the bean paste behind Lin Guyu, and said happily, "Mother said you will come back today, let me wait for you here."

Although Dou Sha is very young, she still has a lot of weight. For a 14-year-old girl like Lin Guyu, even holding her arms for a while is terribly tired.

"I'll just hold the baby, you hold the basket."

Lin Xiaohan is half a head shorter than Lin Guyu. He is just ten years old this year, so even a man doesn't have much strength.

"Second sister, I'm not tired."

Lin Xiaohan hugged Dou Sha with great difficulty, but Dou Sha didn't like Lin Xiaohan, her round eyes looked at Lin Guyu with tears in her eyes, her small face drooped, as if she was about to cry.

Lin Xiaohan felt that the bean paste was about to slide down, so he quickly leaned on it with all his strength, and leaned back uncontrollably.

Lin Guyu looked at Lin Xiaohan like this, afraid that Lin Xiaohan would fall down all of a sudden.

Lin Guyu put the basket in his hand on the ground, hugged Dou Sha back with a smile, and said with a smile, "I'll just hold it."

"Call uncle." Lin Guyu smiled and looked at the child in his arms.

"uncle!"

Dou Sha can say some simple words now, and I don't know if it's because of his mother, but his temperament is still soft.

"Sister, I'm coming!" Lin Xiaohan said, reaching out to hug the bean paste.

"Okay, you hurry up and carry the basket, let's go back quickly, or mother will be in a hurry." Lin Guyu said, and then walked straight ahead.

Lin Xiaohan bent down to pick up the basket, and followed Lin Guyu's pace.

When approaching the door of the house, Lin Guyu put down Dou Sha, took Dou Sha's little hand and walked towards Lin's house.

Before reaching the door, Lin Guyu saw Mrs. Zhao standing at the door looking forward to it from a distance.

Seeing Lin Guyu and Lin Xiaohan came back, Mrs. Zhao quickly walked to Lin Guyu's side.

"Gu Yu," Zhao's voice was choked with sobs, he grabbed Lin Guyu's shoulders with both hands, looked him up and down, and seeing that there was nothing wrong with Lin Guyu, he said slowly, "Fortunately, you are fine, otherwise."

"Mom, I'm fine, you don't have to worry."

Hearing Lin Guyu's words, the tears that Zhao Shi finally held back fell uncontrollably, Zhao Shi pursed her lips tightly, looked down at the child led by Lin Guyu, and frowned slightly.

Dou Sha looked at Mrs. Zhao timidly, her small body couldn't help but move towards the back, her hands tightly grasping Lin Guyu's belt.

"Mother, this is Dou Sha," Lin Guyu said calmly, then squatted down, and gently touched Dou Sha's head, "Dou Sha, that's grandma."

"Grandma." Dou Sha's voice was so low that Mrs. Zhao could barely hear the child's voice.

"Come in, we've already prepared lunch." Mrs. Zhao wanted to take Dou Sha, but Dou Sha kept sticking to Lin Guyu's side. Zhao's eyes narrowed slightly, and she leaned closer to Lin Guyu's ear, "This child?"

Lin Guyu glanced at Dou Sha distressedly, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "His mother used to abuse him a lot, so he was a bit timid, but luckily he's still young, just take care of him."

The expression on Zhao's face paused slightly, and the bitterness gradually rippled in his heart, "It's really hard for you."

"It's okay." Lin Guyu originally wanted to say that when Chi Hang's health recovered, she would reconcile with him, but it's better to discuss this matter later.

"But your child, it's fine if you don't starve and freeze." Mrs. Zhao said in a low voice, "There's no need to take care of it so meticulously."

Lin Guyu frowned slightly, looked up at Mrs. Zhao, and said calmly, "Mother, I liked this child very much when I first saw Dou Sha."

She was telling Zhao Shi in a disguised form that she would take good care of this child until she left the Chi family.

"You," Lin Guyu was a stubborn person in the past, and Zhao Shi sighed helplessly, "You really are, you have to think about your own children."

Zhao Shi said this, as if thinking of something, his face was a little ugly, "How is Wulang's body?"

"I can only lie on the bed." Lin Guyu said truthfully.

The blood on Zhao's face gradually disappeared, and the guilt in his heart gradually expanded, and he looked down at the child Dousha.

No wonder Lin Guyu brought this child with him. It is estimated that Wulang's health is already failing. If this man is gone, the woman will have to rely on the child to live.

What Zhao felt most guilty about was that she didn't know what Wulang went to hunt in the mountains, but now she became like this.

Her eldest daughter Lixia disappeared, so Gu Yu could only marry her.

According to what Gu Yu said, Gu Yu was married and hadn't been able to consummate the house yet!
After this girl gets married, if she is still a virgin, she will be laughed at.

When they got home, Mrs. Zhao asked them to wash their hands and sit at the table.

There are three sets of bowls and chopsticks on the table.

Lin Guyu took care of Dou Sha while eating.

"This child," Mrs. Zhao looked at Lin Guyu sadly. Being a widow is already very difficult for a woman, and she has to help other people raise their children. "Don't get used to it."

"Mother said so," Lin Guyu put the rice soup into Dousha's mouth with a spoon, and watched his little mouth puff up. After swallowing the rice soup, he took a towel and gently wiped away the residue from Dousha's mouth. Wipe dry Jing, "I'll get him an iron bowl and iron spoon later, and let him eat by himself."

A mouthful of old blood in Zhao's chest was about to be spit out, and his face was dark, "Who uses iron bowls and iron spoons?"

Lin Guyu turned his head and glanced at Mrs. Zhao. Modern people use stainless steel, but in ancient times, iron was a very precious thing, and no one used iron to make bowls and spoons.

Ceramic ones are definitely not good. If you accidentally drop them, you must not be able to use them again.

Thinking of this, Lin Guyu suddenly thought of something and looked at Zhao Shi with a smile, "I'll go to the master and make a small wooden bowl and wooden spoon later."

Mrs. Zhao looked at Lin Guyu with a wry smile, and after a while, she couldn't help but said, "With that money, buy some food, and your life will be better."

Lin Guyu was feeding the bean paste, she had never seen such an obedient child, it really hurt her heart, "I spent a lot of money to buy medicine a while ago, I'd better go to the mountains to collect medicine in a while, otherwise Buying medicine alone is definitely not enough for Brother Chi Hang."

Mrs. Zhao put the bowls and chopsticks in her hand on the table, looked up at Lin Guyu, and said with a cold face, "Shouldn't his mother pay for his illness?"

Lin Guyu just thought about planning what to do in the future, and didn't think too much at all. Now that she heard what Zhao said, she paused and ate food in silence.

"What's the matter, isn't it?" Zhao seldom was so tough, tears fell uncontrollably, and his voice was hoarse, "What kind of life did you live over there!"

Lin Xiaohan heard what Zhao said, silently put the bowls and chopsticks on the table, and looked at Lin Guyu with tears in his eyes.

"It's pretty good," Lin Guyu glanced at those two people, and said with a smile, "You don't have to worry."

"If it's good, do you still need to collect medicine?" Mrs. Zhao said in a tearful voice, "This Chi family is a rich family. I heard that the family has several hundred taels of silver, so how could you still need to do those things? "

A few hundred taels?
Lin Guyu's eyes lit up slightly. Calculated according to the lowest, even if the Chi family only had 100 taels of silver, the four of them would share the money equally, and the family would still have 25 taels of silver.

25 Eight taels of silver were given to the Lin family as a dowry, and if the family gave ten taels of silver, there should be seven taels of silver.

Realizing this, Lin Guyu frowned slightly.

Zhou's person is really cruel. She still wants to take advantage of her son's illness.

Maybe the Zhou family never planned to give money to their family, but he felt uneasy if he didn't give any money, so he spent ten taels of silver to buy peace of mind.

Lin Guyu firmly held the chopsticks.

I have to say that Lin Guyu's guess was right when the blind cat ran into a dead mouse this time. At the beginning, Mrs. Zhou thought it would be good to just give her food and let her feed the child, but when she thought about separating from her third son at that time, she felt so sad. I can't bear it.

The main reason is that Zhou is worried that her man will crawl out of the underworld in anger to settle accounts with her.

"Mother, let's eat." Lin Guyu turned his head to look at Mrs. Zhou, and said calmly, "I know about that matter, so don't ask me any more."

Hearing what Lin Guyu said, Mrs. Zhao looked at Lin Guyu suspiciously.

After dinner, Lin Guyu helped Mrs. Zhao to tidy up the house briefly, the mother and daughter said some personal words, and Lin Guyu planned to leave.

Walking to the door, Lin Guyu looked at Lin Xiaohan who was standing beside him, reached out and touched Lin Xiaohan's head, turned his head to look at Mrs. Zhao, "Mother, let Xiaohan go to study!"

Hearing Lin Guyu's voice, Lin Xiaohan's eyes lit up, and a pair of bright eyes looked at Lin Guyu eagerly.

"Study?" Mrs. Zhao shook her head, frowning, "In our family's situation, how can we have money for him to study?"

Lin Xiaohan's eyes gradually dimmed.

"Didn't the Chi family give you some money?" Lin Guyu grabbed Dou Sha's hand, "Eight taels of money can make Xiaohan study for a long time!"

Zhao's brows were slightly frowned. According to Zhao's original thinking, these eight taels of silver must not be moved. People always have some kind of illness or something. These are used as emergency money to save lives.

"Mother," Lin Guyu knew that it was a luxury for rural people to go to school. According to Yuan's memory, there was only one scholar in their village, and it was 20 years ago. Many people passed the Tongsheng exam. There is no way to move forward anymore, "Xiaohan is studying now, will it be useful in the future?"

"It's not that mother disagrees." Zhao sighed slightly, "You may not know that after those people study, they can't do the work in the field, and they haven't read well, so it's useless."

Although these are facts, they are also Zhao's excuses.

"Mother, if I study, I will also work in the fields after school." Lin Xiaohan stared at Zhao Shi with a pair of beautiful eyes.

Zhao's face froze.
