Chapter 44 Encounter

Liu Zhihua sighed after hearing this: "Stop talking about it, Mu Cheng, what happened to your mother, and what happened at home."

Mu Cheng thought of the tragedy at home, he bit his lips, held back tears, clenched his fists and said, "My mother was seriously injured, she was bedridden and took medicine all the year round, and the family relied on my father to deliver goods by boat to make money. Father Yue suddenly disappeared, and he searched for a long time to find someone. He didn't know who he offended. Seeing that my father's medicine supply could not be supplied, my mother cried and took out these things and asked me to come to my aunt."

The relatives couldn’t avoid him, he wanted to go out to earn money, those people saw his face and told him to go, he took a face cloth and ran to the wharf to carry rice bags for others to make money, but they thought he was too thin.

There was really no way out, so he had to follow his mother's advice to find his aunt.

Liu Zhihua's eyes were filled with tears, and she sighed a long time and said: "I thought your mother had a good life these years, but she didn't expect her life to be so difficult. She is a hard-working person."

Mu Cheng nodded with red eyes, choked up and said: "Auntie, my mother is really suffering. I heard from my father that he saved my mother from a dealer on the way to the boat. Later, my mother stayed to repay her kindness. She didn't contact me. You must have a reason."

"There is such a thing!" Liu Zhihua was shocked when he heard it.

Back then, Mingming Xiuhua's uncle took her away saying that she was going to be raised as a daughter, how could it have fallen into the hands of a trafficker?

Could it be that the family sold it out with bad intentions?

The more I think about it, the more I feel this is the case. No wonder Xiuhua hasn’t heard her whereabouts for so many years. A big girl with yellow flowers fell into the hands of those people. You don’t need to think about the consequences...

Liu Zhihua was so annoyed that she slapped the wooden table angrily, and scolded in pain: "The unconscionable thing in that family is not afraid that Uncle and Aunt Liu will go to him in the middle of the night!"

Jiaojiao also felt that the big brother's family was pitiful, she never thought that Niang would suddenly slap the table, startling both her and the cat in her arms, the milk cat went straight into her arms, "Meow meow..."

"Miaomiao is not afraid." Jiaojiao comforted the kitten by sucking her nose.

Maybe it’s because Jiaojiao’s body has spiritual power, and the cat nestled in her arms obediently.

Liu Zhihua frightened Jiaojiao when she saw her actions, quickly patted Guaibao on the back, and coaxed softly: "Jiaojiao is not afraid, mother is scolding those bad guys."

Speaking, Liu Zhihua swallowed the suffocation in her heart, but when she thought of what kind of suffering Xiuhua had experienced, her eyes and nose turned red with anger.

She can let the child come to her, then there must be no other way to go.

Liu Zhihua wiped away her tears, sighed and climbed onto the kang, searched for a money bag from the wooden cabinet where the quilts were placed, poured out the nudes given by Yingniang, and gritted her teeth to take two.

After getting off the ground, he went straight to bring it to Mu Cheng.

Liu Zhihua's eyes were red, and her voice was a little hoarse: "Mu Cheng, Auntie never knew how hard your mother was going through. You take care of the money and let your mother rest in peace of mind. It should be enough for you for a while."

Liu Zhihua has always valued money more than life, but she didn't hesitate in this matter.

Xiuhua was her only relative after Grandma left. Grandma often said that the sister would move around more in the next two days. Even though Xiuhua hadn't contacted her for so many years, she still had feelings for her sister.

And what happened to Xiuhua is really pitiful, she was sold to a dealer, she must have endured a lot of hardships to get sick, if she doesn't have money at this time, it's all right, but if she doesn't help with money, she will have no face to see her after she dies Milk.

The two silver nudes in Mu Cheng's hand are at least four taels. He looked at his aunt excitedly and in disbelief and stammered, "Auntie, this, what is this?"

Liu Zhihua sighed and patted his thin shoulder, and said honestly: "This is what her aunt gave Jiaojiao and the others yesterday. I didn't know about your mother's situation just now. I keep these at home. You can use them, don't use them." Return it in a hurry, go back and tell your mother that my aunt will go see her when she settles down tomorrow."

Mu Cheng burst into tears immediately, choked up with sobs, pinched the silver naked child hard and knelt on the ground with a plop, and kowtowed twice to the ground.

"Good boy, get up quickly." Liu Zhihua hurriedly pulled him up, tears ran out again, parents are like this, it is not easy to pity this child.

Mu Cheng wiped his tears with his sleeve, and said very seriously: "Auntie, your kindness, Mu Cheng, will never be forgotten in this life. When I grow up and have the ability to repay it, I will definitely repay it with all my might."

"Okay, Auntie believes you." Liu Zhihua patted him on the back reassuringly, feeling that he is a child with backbone.

Keeping Mu Cheng for lunch, Mu Cheng was afraid of scaring his younger siblings with his face, so he covered his face with his hands and ate cautiously throughout the meal.

Seeing this, Jiaojiao tilted her head and thought about it.

Suddenly put down the chopsticks, ran to the kitchen to get a bowl of stream water from the space, then walked in with small steps and brought it to Mu Cheng, saying in a waxy voice, "Brother, drink water quickly."

Mu Cheng was flattered, and hurriedly got up to take it and said, "Thank you Jiaojiao." Then, he smiled and took it up to drink. The sweet taste in the mouth was like an illusion, and he drank it all in one gulp.

Liu Zhihua touched her daughter's little hand, and felt that her baby had grown up to be cute and kind-hearted.

After lunch, Mu Cheng was worried that his parents would rush back.

Before leaving, Liu Zhihua went to Qiusheng's house to find a set of clean clothes, took some eggs and put them in a cloth bag, and took Mu Cheng out of the village.

…

After sending Mu Cheng away, Xiao Li fell asleep again after lunch, but still couldn't wake up like a few days ago.

Liu Zhihua hugged Jiaojiao to find Dr. Li, and brought her home for Xiao Li to have a look at.

After feeling the pulse, Dr. Li pinched his cheek and looked at his tongue, but frowned. Hastily took out another pack of silver needles, took out the thinnest fingertip that was pierced by Xiao Li, and squeezed out a drop of blood.

The blood color was deep, the tip of the silver needle turned black slightly, Dr. Li's complexion changed slightly, which was obviously a symptom of poison in the body.

Liu Zhihua also saw that the situation was wrong, and asked worriedly: "Doctor Li, what's wrong with my little Li?"

Jiaojiao also leaned over worriedly, took the little brother's hand, and yelled a few times, but no one woke up.

"Xiao Li must have ingested some kind of poison by mistake, so he has symptoms of lethargy in the past few days. There is only one symptom, that is, there are not many toxins in his body. I will prescribe some herbal medicine to clear the poison first." The doctor put away the silver needle and said.

Liu Zhihua was frightened, and almost died of fright when she heard the poisoning, but she was relieved when she heard the words later, and hurriedly replied: "Okay, I will listen to Dr. Li."

"Zhihua, when someone wakes up, you and Xiao Li ask what you have eaten recently. After the poison is detoxified, you don't dare to eat it again." Dr. Li instructed again.

Liu Zhihua hurriedly nodded in response: "Okay, I'll make a thorough questioning after the little brat wakes up."

"Xiao Li is ignorant, don't be rude when asking carefully, I will write you a prescription." Dr. Li persuaded with a smile.

Then took out the pen and ink, rolled up the sleeves and began to write the prescription, "Take dandelion, herbs, purslane, forsythia, big green leaves..."

Dr. Li has a habit of reading and checking prescriptions.

Jiaojiao silently wrote down these things in her head. After Dr. Li left, she went into the space to find these medicinal materials. She can add some water to the stream, so that the little brother can recover sooner.
