The Green Lotus Peasant Girl - Chapter 83
Speaking of wages, Li Qinghe’s uncle went to help the Yang family for a few days.
At this moment, he couldn’t help hearing the movement there, “I have to look.”
The rest of the people followed, and most of them wanted to watch the excitement. Zhou Chengkang held the child and took her by the hand, “Let’s take a look too.”
A group of people entered the chicken coop from the backyard, crossed the waste grass, and arrived outside the Yang family’s courtyard.
At this time, the gate of the yard was open, and there were many people inside. I could vaguely see that there were still people lying on the innermost ground. On such a cold day, those people were lying on the door with a quilt.
When I got closer, I saw that there were about 20 or 30 people lying on the ground, and a large area was placed. They were all pale, their lips were pale, and there was a stench that was unique to the cottage.
I have diarrhea.
I thought that the Yang family sold a pig today, and it was unusually cheap, combined with the voices of the people surrounding it. Li Qinghe suddenly said that there was a problem with the pork, and he said why it is so cheap.
“You have to find a doctor to help us treat it.” The woman at the front was furious, “If something happens to my man, I will stay at your house.”
“You can report to officials if you die.”
“Why is this meat so cheap? You still want to sell if you have a problem with pigs, a real profiteer.”
“It’s no wonder that your Yang family’s business can’t go on, and you have scorned your heart.”
Father Yang seemed to have just come out, bent over to look at the people on the ground, frowning, “Is the diarrhea must be a problem with the meat? My pork is good, and the color and taste are normal. Otherwise, you won’t buy it! Can’t be because of me If the meat is cheap, it’s bad.”
The village chief stepped forward. At this time, his face was pale, and he stretched out his hand to cover his stomach. It seemed to be painful, “Then why are so many people who have eaten your meat have diarrhea? Including me.”
Father Yang looked at a large group of people in the lush yard, “Can’t let all of them eat this meat? Isn’t there still so much meat that is okay?”
Li Qinghe, an aunt of his own family, stepped forward two steps, “That’s because we eat less. Meat is for the strong laborers in the family. It’s better now. Let your family’s flesh damage become like this. If this person is gone, stay How will the next group of orphans and widows let us live?”
“No, you can help us get a doctor quickly. Otherwise… If my head dies, you don’t want to live.”
As he said, his hand was about to wave to Father Yang’s face, and more than that, the collar of Mother Yang over there was already caught, and Yang Lanrou was also dragged out of the house.
Father Yang finally let go, “It’s okay to ask the doctor, I’ll let someone go now.”
The Yang family’s wife immediately set up the carriage and left the village. When everyone saw this, they were not as anxious as before. But he kept talking, talking in low voices.
The mother-in-law was very quick, but after a quarter of an hour, she brought the doctor back and carried two large medicine chests. It seems that the woman is still very reliable. Not only did she invite the doctor, she also told about the illness of these people and brought the medicine.
It was cold outside, and Li Qinghe wanted to take the baby home. After the doctor over there took the pulse, he began to dispense medicine. Seeing such a large group of people in the yard, it was obvious that they were making trouble. He moved for a while and asked, “Who pays for my consultation and medicine?”
“Who pays for it? I have to ask.” Most people said that.
Father Yang looked ugly, “What does it matter to me? There is a carriage in my family to help you hire a doctor, and I have done everything possible.” He looked at the doctor, “Doctor, are you talking about why these people have diarrhea?”
The doctor frowned, “Eat something bad.”
“Now!” The people around were immediately encouraged.
At this time, another woman came out of the house with a large plate of fish in her hand and said loudly, “This meat must be problematic. They don’t eat it by their own family. They also ran to buy fish to eat. The latest fish price Everyone knows that this is to trade our big guy’s life for him!”
Everyone was agitated, and they waved their fists to make Father Yang say something, and the people over there forced the doctor to dispense the medicine.
Li Qinghe withdrew from the crowd, Zhou Chengkang went home with her, and Zhou Mu was behind him.
“It’s like this.” She shook her head, “The meat should be problematic.”
“People don’t eat meat for a long time. Suddenly eating too much can cause stomach troubles, but it should be too late to run the hut, and it should not be so serious.”
Those people just lay on the ground, let alone the hut, and stood there for a while. The smell there got stronger and stronger. The reason why Li Qinghe took the baby home was because he couldn’t bear it.
In the end, a farce by the Yang family ended with their family helping the people to dispense medicine. The trouble continued until the night when the people gradually left.
Zhang Haiyao still walked here when he went home, and went straight out of the backyard, knocking on the backyard door there.
After entering the door, he sighed, “It took a lot of money to dispense the medicine, not to mention the money for selling pigs, I also posted a lot. Many people said that they had diarrhea, and all of them were dispensed. I see there, I can’t tell. Someone deliberately took advantage…”
“What nonsense?” Mother Zhou scolded, “It’s dark, and I’m taking the child outside. Be careful that the child catches a cold and go home.”
She took Zhang Haiyao and left, leaving only Li Qinghe and his wife at home. This was the only time a family of three spent the night alone since she gave birth to a child.
At night, Zhou Chengkang took her into his arms and laughed in a low voice, “Just the three of us, it’s good.”
As soon as the voice fell, the child in the crib next to the bed began to groan, Zhou Chengkang reluctantly sat up and hugged him, “You can really tear down your father’s desk.”
Li Qinghe couldn’t help but chuckle. With children, a lot more fun.
Childbirth hurts her body. Zhang Haiyao has been raising a baby after giving birth. She looks good, and the child is also well raised. Mei’s family has never raised the baby, and now she can’t do heavy work.
Therefore, Zhou Chengkang paid special attention to not letting her work. Even if the full moon was over, she would have soup for her to stew every day. He sleeps next to him, and he still watches. If he doesn’t need milk, he just coaxes him.
In the twelfth lunar month, the child is two months old. Over there, Zhou’s mother found out another family relationship for Wumei. This time it was either from another village or Wangcun. The family’s surname was Zhao.
Speaking of it, her father and Zhao Wanwan are brothers in the family, but they are not as wealthy as Zhao Tianfu. The family has four acres of land, one acre of paddy fields, an only child, both parents are alive, and an older sister is married.
This time because the weather was too cold, Li Qinghe didn’t go back to see it, but after two days, the marriage was settled.
Wumei has seen each other a few times, and it’s fine if it’s settled down, besides, Zhou’s mother won’t be wronged by her daughter.
Therefore, in the middle of the twelfth lunar month, the marriage is over, and the bride price has already been paid at the end of the twelfth lunar month. The action is fast, and the wedding date is set, March 15 of the following year.
March 15th, just after spring ploughing.
Before Li Qinghe saw anyone, the marriage of the fifth sister was decided. The two were busy selling fish. They went back to Zhou’s house this year, but they just went back to eat a meal.
I just had breakfast that day, and the door was knocked. During this time, people came to buy fish at home almost every day. Li Qinghe went to open the door and found that she knew the person outside.
It was a bit reluctant to say that I knew each other, but I only saw it once. It was He Chu’s mother who met the fifth sister for the first time. He still remembers that He said that if the Zhou family was willing, their family would come to propose a marriage.
Wumei has already decided on a marriage, and people come here at this time, not necessarily because of Wumei, “Aunt, what can you do?”
Mother He didn’t mean to enter the door, she looked at the pond, “Are there any fish in there?”
People who come to buy fish basically ask this sentence, that’s the guest. Li Qinghe smiled and nodded, “There are others, big and small.”
He’s mother turned around, “I heard that your little sister-in-law made a marriage?”
“It’s settled.” Li Qinghe smiled slightly when he mentioned the marriage, “Aunt, you have something to say straight.”
It’s so cold standing outside.
“At the beginning, I said that I wanted to set a fifth sister for my son. Your family disagrees. I didn’t think about it. It’s normal to look at it.” Mother He’s face was not very good, “But before I ran into your aunt two days and she said that it was because my son said that he had a sweetheart, and this marriage was not a success.”
Li Qinghe raised his eyebrows, “Isn’t it?”
“Yes.” Mother He looked ugly, “So I came to the door today, wanting you to apologize to your mother-in-law on my behalf, I really don’t know that **** still can’t let it go, and ah, now that girl is married. , Your family…”
She wanted to stay here again, Li Qinghe interrupted her, “My fifth sister’s wedding date will be March 15 next year.” The wedding date has been set, and there is no reason to change it.
Mother He sighed slightly, “That’s right, the boy from the Zhao family, he also liked the little fairy surnamed Yang at the beginning, my son said frankly, but the surname Zhao doesn’t say…I just kindly came to remind you.”
Compared to He Chu, who said frankly that he has a sweetheart, if this person from the Zhao family really likes others in his heart as He said, but does not say it, it must have ulterior motives.
“I’m not telling you, the Zhou family was not good before, but after the brothers married your daughters-in-law, the life in the village is pretty good. Especially you, the pond alone produces a lot of products every year. There are many people who are related to your family. At the beginning, I too…” Mother He looked calmly, “I believe the Zhao family chose the fifth sister, so I should think so.”
“These words came out of my mouth and came into your ears. I was kind, don’t betray me.” He mother asked, and before leaving, she left a sentence, “I will consider it in my heart.”
