Once the matter was settled, the crowd dispersed.
Wang Plum Flower supported his little sister out of the family hall. The sun was setting in the west, and everything in front of him was both familiar and unfamiliar.
It was late spring and still cold. The little girl fell into the water and covered herself in wet clothes. The white cloth that was originally covering her body caused her chest to ache.
"Mom, it's already so late, so it's not safe for you to bring your little brother back. Why don't you stay here with me for the night?" In her memory, Wang Plum Blossom was washing clothes in a household. Sometimes, she wouldn't spend the night because she didn't want to delay earning money.
"Child, what are you saying? Don't worry about it. Mother will stay here for a few days to take care of you. You can go back when you're better."
Iron Egg had been holding tightly onto his mistress's hand, afraid that his sister would stay on the ground again if he let go of her hand. Hearing his mother's words, he also quickly followed up, "Iron Egg will also stay here and take care of sister!"
The little girl touched his head. He had been watching her for so long, it was unknown whether or not he was scared or not, "Iron Egg is awesome. Let's go home and cook, Iron Egg has to eat a lot. He's tall, so he can only take care of his sister and mother in the future."
"Did you hear that?" "Your sister and your mother will be relying on you from now on."
"Don't worry Mother, I will definitely grow up to be exceptionally tall, just like that uncle just now! And then protect Mother and protect Sister! "
The lady's heart stirred. She didn't seem to see that person when she wrote the note. The villagers walked in twos and threes. Ye Xuan's figure that silently walked in front of them was particularly eye-catching.
"Next time, I'll thank him properly when I get the chance." The little girl thought.
When the three of them returned home, the little girl had changed her clothes and was lying on the bed. Wang Plum Blossom was directing the boiling water in the iron egg. She was in charge of cooking.
It was more like a dilapidated house surrounded by fences. In addition, the kitchen only had four rooms, a warehouse, a main hall, and a bedroom.
The earthen yellow mud was mixed with straw, the ground was full of potholes and water, the house was small and weak. No wonder the Lin Family did not mention anything about the house, how could anyone live in such a shabby house?
The original husband was an Elementary Scholar who only knew how to read and write, and his health was not that good either. A weak girl like the original body would work all day long, washing clothes and cooking.
In the end, a cold had taken the life of the Elementary Scholar, and the young lady had become a widow. Moreover, her mother-in-law had framed her to try to take away her land, so if she hadn't transmigrated to this world, no one would have cared about the young lady's death.
With a sigh, the cute girl slapped her face. She couldn't think about these things anymore. Right now, there were more important things that were laid out in front of her.
That was how to survive.
It was not yet harvest time for the grains in the fields, and if she guessed correctly, there should be no more money in the house. She did not believe that the woman Lin Lanzhi would not come to plunder the family money.
Suppressing the discomfort in her chest, the lady got down from the bed. There was only a relatively large wooden bed, a desk, and a cupboard in the room. All of the books on the table had been thrown onto the floor.
It was just that some of the traditional Chinese characters were too difficult for her. She also knew the contents of the book. It seemed like the world she lived in wasn't too different from the world she lived in.
After tidying up the desk, the lady opened up the cabinet. All of the Elementary Scholar's clothes had been taken away and burned down. The clothes of those who had passed away could not be left in the world. There were only two or three sets of her clothes in the closet, and they were all filled with patches.
He turned the room around. It was already dark, and there was no light in the room. Let alone money, the little girl couldn't even find a mouse hole.
"Elder sister, mother called you to eat." Iron Egg held onto the door and said with a smile, "Mother brought you Ai Ye, come take a bath after eating." After saying so, he skipped out. The cute girl was afraid that he would trip on her, so she hurriedly followed him out.
There was only one old tree root in the courtyard, and that was his family's table for eating. There was a plate of soy sauce on the table, and Wang Plum Flower brought a bowl of porridge over, apologizing, "There's not even any rice in the rice vat, so I found some soy sauce and went to the village to change some rice. You have some to drink and rest.
Knowing that Lin Lanzhi didn't leave anything behind, he looked at his mother and Iron Egg's bowl filled with brown rice porridge. White rice was very precious these days, Wang Plum Blossom probably didn't have much money on her after exchanging for these white rice.
The jealousy in the little girl's heart was rising. Ever since her family died, she rarely experienced this kind of warmth.
He had not eaten for a whole day and was already starving. When he finished eating, he looked at the bowl of porridge in Lady Piaomiao's bowl and swallowed his saliva.
The nanny divided the rice porridge into his bowl and he drank it all at once. Wang Mei knocked on his head and said, "Your sister's health is not good. Why are you so greedy?"
"Mother …" "I'm hungry …" Iron Egg rubbed his head in grievance. The cute girl hurriedly coaxed him, "Iron Egg, your sister isn't that hungry." He then turned to Wang Plum Blossom and said, "Mother, don't blame Iron Egg. I only gave it to him because I couldn't eat it."
Hearing this, Iron Egg grinned and said, "I can only eat if I can't eat. If sister is hungry, I'll give her everything I have."
Wang Mei Hua wiped away the tears at the corner of her eyes and poured a little more of the rice in her bowl for Tie Wu. "Mother can't eat it either, you eat it. When you grow up, you can raise sister and mother."
After dinner, Wang Plum Blossom cooked a large pot of Ace Leaf Water in the kitchen. She added some cold water and poured it into the basin. The cute girl sat inside and took a bath.
The wormwood leaves dispel dampness and detoxify, also has exorcism effect. Her body was much more transparent now, and her chest didn't hurt so much.
Even the kerosene lamp had been taken away from the house. Wang Plum Blossom had laid the bed, and the three of them slept on the same bed. Fortunately, all three of them were small and thin, and were able to sleep well.
When the lady came out from her shower, she found that there was a light in the thatched cottage next door. Thinking about how Lin Lanzhi had said that Ye Xuan would stay next door to her, the little girl wiped her hair and fell into deep thought. She still couldn't understand why Ye Xuan was so similar to Wang Da Fu.
The light suddenly grew brighter, and when the lady woke up, she saw Ye Xuan standing outside the door with a kerosene lamp in his hand, looking at her. She immediately scuttled into the room like a frightened rabbit.
Heavens, he saw it! He was like a fool, staring at someone else's house in a daze!
Leaning against the door, the cute girl's heart was still thumping wildly. She never thought that Ye Xuan would come out.
It's over. Will you be misunderstood? The other party had only helped her out today, yet she was staring at him just like that …
The little girl wanted nothing more than to beat him to death. This was too embarrassing!
Just as he was vexed over this, Wang Plum Blossom walked out of the house and saw him. "Why didn't you go in after showering?" "If the wind blows again, we won't have the money to cure it!"
Lying on the bed, the little girl was still awake. Her brain was still working. She was a good mother-in-law, a poor parent, and a neighbor who looked like Wang Da Fu …
One or two walked around in her mind like a strolling lamp, and once again her mind was clear. She was tired to the point of dozing off, "Forget it, I won't think about it anymore. Just let nature take its course." The most important thing is to eat first. "
