Su Li washed the towel and instructed, “You need to undergo surgery for your injuries. Rest for the next two days and you should do the surgery in two days time.”

He Yufeng frowned when he heard Su Li’s words. “Surgery? Who will do it for

Su Li almost spat out, “Of course it’s me!” However, she thought about it and felt that something was wrong. It was fine if she knew some pharmacology, but now that she was going to undergo surgery, it was hard to explain!

Su Li coughed lightly. “The doctor from Huiren Hall in town has good medical skills. I’ll get him to come and perform the surgery for you.”

He Yufeng said, “The doctors of Huiren Hall never do house visits!”

It was not that he wanted to discourage Su Li, but the doctors of Huiren Hall were famous in the vicinity. They usually only attended consultations and did not come to the door unless the other party was a rich and powerful person. For people like them, who had no power or money, they might not even be able to afford the consultation fees even if they went to a medical center, let alone invite a doctor to their house.

Su Li said confidently, “You don’t have to worry about that. Just focus on recuperating. I’ll definitely get a doctor for you.”

Previously, Cheng Yu was very interested in her acupuncture technique. If she wanted him to come over as an excuse, he would probably be very happy to come observe and learn.

He Yufeng only thought that Su Li was boasting and did not take it to heart. If the doctor from Huiren Hall could be invited over by Su Li, he would eat the table!

He Yufeng still needed to drink medicine, so Su Li went to the kitchen to help him brew medicine. One of the two children guarded He Yufeng while the other guarded Su Li.

He Qingmu sat beside Su Li and helped her add firewood from time to time. Su Li looked at the black medicine in the bowl and couldn’t help but turn her head away. Although she dealt with Chinese medicine every day, she was really unwilling to drink Chinese medicine. The taste was too strong.

He Qingmu looked at the medicine in the bowl and volunteered, “Mother, let me help you bring the medicine to Father!”

After settling He Yufeng down, Su Li returned to her room.

After locking the door, she flashed into the interspace. She was exhausted and needed a spiritual spring bath.

After taking a bath, Su Li brought out the chili she had collected last time. She really didn’t have an appetite without chili. She still liked things with a little spiciness.

When Su Li woke up, the sky was already bright. She got up and put on her clothes. He Qingyao and his brother were already sweeping the courtyard. When they saw Su Li, they put the broom aside and ran towards her.

“Mother, get up. We’ve swept the courtyard clean.”

Su Li looked at the brothers, who looked like they were asking for praise, and reached out to pat their heads.

“You guys are awesome. You’re really my little helpers.”

After receiving Su Li’s praise, He Qingmu covered his mouth like a kitten that had stolen a fish. Although He Qingyao did not act as exaggerated as He Qingmu, the corners of his mouth still cracked.

“Is your father up?” Su Li asked.

He Qingmu nodded vigorously and said, “He’s up, he’s up. Father woke up before dawn. He said he wanted to pee, so I brought him a bucket.”

When He Yufeng heard He Qingmu’s words in the room, his face darkened. This kid really told Su Li everything. He was not treating her like an outsider at all!

When Su Li entered the house, He Yufeng was lying on the bed and looking at the roof. She first washed He Yufeng’s face and then wiped his body. Although the two children had wiped his face last night, he was still sweating a lot. If her body was sticky, she would definitely feel uncomfortable. Su Li used the idea of taking care of a patient to take care of He Yufeng.

After Su Li finished wiping He Yufeng’s upper body, she was about to wipe his lower body when He Yufeng grabbed her hand again.

“That’s enough!”

He Yufeng felt a little uncomfortable. He could not get used to Su Li like this.

Su Li pursed her lips. She had already given birth to his children, who was he acting to?

If he didn’t want to wipe it, so be it. He was the one who smelled, not her. Besides the porridge she made in the morning, Su Li made pancakes to go with them.

Yesterday, Chen Xiang helped her look after the children. Su Li packed two pancakes and sent them to Chen Xiang.

Chen Xiang looked at the things Su Li had sent over and felt a little embarrassed. However, the fragrance emitted by the pancake was too tempting, so she couldn’t reject it.

They ate mixed grain porridge every day at home, and they don’t get to enjoy pancakes made from white flour even once a year. However, Su Li gave them two every time!

“Sister, you should eat sparingly in the future. Now that Qingyao’s father is injured, your life in the future…”

If He Yufeng fell, Su Li’s life might be even more difficult than hers in the future!

Su Li knew Chen Xiang’s good intentions and said, “I understand. Thank you for reminding me, Sister.”

Madam Luo happened to see this scene when she went out. When she saw the pancake in Chen Xiang’s hand, she understood everything.

The entire village knew about Chen Xiang’s family’s conditions. Moreover, Chen Xiang was used to being stingy. Even if she had white flour, she would not eat it.

“Yo- Your man was injured yesterday, and you’re making pancakes to celebrate today?”

“That’s true. Some people expect their man to die quickly so that she can remarry again. However, she doesn’t even look at herself. Even if the man dies, no one will want her.”

Su Li rolled her eyes at Madam Luo’s mocking words and stared at her face.

“It’s really unlucky to hear crows cawing so early in the morning. Some crows just don’t realize it. They clearly know that they’re unlucky, but they still run around. Aren’t they afraid of being despised?”

Madam Luo’s eyes widened and she placed her hands on her hips. “Who are you calling a crow?”

“You…” Madam Luo pointed at Su Li angrily.

Su Li said, “Crow, crow, take your time to crow. I’ll go home first!”

She did not have the mood to waste too much time on Madam Luo. As long as she did not provoke her, she could treat her as air.

Madam Luo gritted her teeth and looked at Su Li’s back. She scolded, “I think you’re a jinx. You jinx your parents at home and marry into your in-laws’ family to jinx your man. Whoever is with you is unlucky.”

“Do you think your in-laws like you? You’re their nemesis, and the children you give birth to are also their nemesis. He Yufeng was originally fine, but ever since you gave birth to the two children, he started to suffer. Not only did he not get anything from the family, but he also has to bear seven taels of silver a month.”

Su Li turned to look at Madam Luo and said with a sharp gaze, “What did you say?

The grudge between them shouldn’t have involved the children. It was time to teach Madam Luo a lesson.

Madam Luo was a little afraid when she saw Su Li’s gaze, but after thinking about it, she felt that something was wrong. She puffed out her chest and said, “I won’t say it a second time.”

Su Li looked at Madam Luo and sneered. “Very good…”

Madam Luo thought that Su Li was going to fight with her, but she did not expect her to say “very good” without rhyme or reason and leave. This made her a little confused.

“Why didn’t she fight with me?” Madam Luo asked Chen Xiang, who was still standing there.

Chen Xiang pursed her lips and said, “I’m not too sure about that. I still have something to do at home, so I won’t talk to you anymore.”

In the past, Su Li would come to her house every few days to ask for something, but Su Li had never mocked her. Although Madam Luo did not ask for anything, every time Su Li said something, it was like a bone-chilling ice blade that stabbed into her heart..
