Chen Tingyao was also a little scared and said: "My second uncle is the same as my father. He practiced boxing with Weng Weng when he was young. Don't look at his gentle appearance. He is very strong. He is no less than my father."

Ye Meiniang, who was half lying down, suddenly said: "What I am most worried about is Wu Niang. She has a cowardly temperament and is submissive. If Guangzu goes back after being angry, he may give Wu Niang a good beating."

Chen Bing hooked Ye Meiniang's arm with her backhand, and said coquettishly: "But mother, my second uncle came to the West House just now without any good intentions at all. He didn't invite the Cowherd, but when he came back, he came directly to seek bad luck on his father. I really don't think so. Is it for the fourth brother? If it is for the fourth brother, why don't he go and visit first when he comes back? Doesn't he want to extort some benefits from his father? Besides, the twenty or so money in the West Room is also needed urgently. How can I give it to him for the purpose? As the saying goes, if you really give it to him, if it is given to him once, there will be a second time. No matter what happens in the future, he will blackmail dad."

Ye Meiniang also sighed: "That's right, so your father is very hesitant. He is afraid of ruining the brotherhood between him and Guangzu, and he is worried that he will not be able to let go after being stuck."

Chen Xingzu also sighed and said: "Guangzu has always been cold-hearted. He has never really regarded me as his elder brother. When there is something going on, there is someone, and when there is nothing, there is no one. Although he doesn't mean it, I can't be ruthless. After all, he is me. My biological brother. Hey, let’s not talk about him. My mother, are you in better shape?”

Ye Meiniang nodded and said, "I drank some hot tea just now and it feels better. Xingzu, don't worry, I'll be fine."

Chen Bing was concerned about Ye Meiniang's health and had forgotten about Chen Guangzu. She used the orchid gesture with one hand to gently press a few points on Ye Meiniang's back, and placed her other hand on Ye Meiniang's pulse, and then said: "Mother Do you feel uncomfortable somewhere today?"

Ye Meiniang turned her head away and did not reply to her words. Although Chen Bing felt a little strange, she did not ask further questions. In the blink of an eye, Chen Bing, who had felt his pulse, suddenly raised his head and said in surprise: "Mom! What are you doing? ..."

Ye Meiniang blushed slightly, but shook her head at Chen Bing with a solemn expression. Chen Bing was confused. She knelt down behind Ye Meiniang, gently pressed her shoulders with her hands, and whispered in her ear: "Mom, why don't you tell daddy about this? ?』

Ye Meiniang still shook her head, and Chen Bing said helplessly: "Mom, am I the only one in the family who knows about this matter? In the east room today, you said you had many things to say to me, was this what you were referring to? "

Ye Meiniang suddenly said: "The life of your daughter's family is never in your control. Look at Wu Niang, although her temperament is a little weak, she was still an extremely innocent person before she got married, and she was even known far and wide as a bean curd beauty. But what's the use? I'm not forced to marry your second uncle. Hey, Xingzu, I'm a little tired today and want to rest early. If you have free time tomorrow, go and say hello to Aunt Yan. , just say that I have been feeling unwell recently and cannot take care of Yuniang. Please be more considerate."

Chen Xingzu waited for a long time before he replied: "Okay, I will tell my mother tomorrow, hoping that she can change her mind. Yuniang, I will also have a good talk with Yuniang, don't worry."

Listening to these words, Chen Bing always felt a little strange, as if her father and mother were playing a riddle. She sat next to Chen Xingzu, tapped his shoulder coquettishly, and said with a smile: "Dad, yes Didn't my daughter do something today that made her mother-in-law and the third girl unhappy? Is it because she didn't have dinner with the third girl today? Dad, just tell your daughter, she really doesn't know what she did wrong."

Chen Xingzu pulled Chen Bing in front of him and squeezed her hands. Although he looked at Chen Bing with a smile, his eyes showed reluctance and attachment. Chen Bing's heart tightened. , thinking: "This is the second time today that dad has shown such a look to me. Something must have happened, and it must be aimed at me, but dad and mom don't want to say it, so I can't ask, hey, This is really killing me. It seems that now I can only wait and see what happens and adapt to changes.".c

Chen Xingzu said in a soft voice: "Er Niang is very good and will never make anyone angry. Dad loves Er Niang very much, and your mother also loves you very much. Everyone in this family loves Er Niang, even if The sky is falling. Your father and mother will carry it for you. Don’t think too much about it. Your mother is not feeling well today and it’s getting late. You should accompany her to rest early.

Just rest."

Chen Bing had no choice but to follow Chen Xingzu's instructions and accompany Ye Meiniang to go to bed early. At this time, she felt a lot calmer and said to herself: "Dad is right, he and mother love me, no matter what No matter what happens in the future, both of them will stand unswervingly behind me to help me and support me. As the saying goes, if the soldiers come, the water will come and the earth will cover it, hum! "Mr. Bad Guy," just let your horse come over!"

Chen Bing still got up early the next day. After she finished a set of Tai Chi, she went to help Wen Wuniang with housework. The bruises on Wen Wuniang's hands confirmed Ye Meiniang's guess yesterday. Because Ye Meiniang was unwell, so Chen Bing had to do a lot more things today. After he finished washing his clothes, it was already past midnight. Chen Bing washed his face, grabbed a handful of corn, and put it on a table. I took a small stick and a thin rope into a small bamboo basket with a handle, and set off for the west courtyard.

The west courtyard was quite busy today. Sun Qiniang was splitting wood, while Li Yunniang was applying self-fired rub. When she saw Chen Bing entering the courtyard, she called Sun Qiniang and teased with a smile: "Eh? What kind of wind is blowing today?" You're here, why don't you go and accompany Liu Dong's family? Hehe."

Chen Bing smiled and said: "What are you talking about? Na Da, no, who am I, Liu Dong's family? Why should I accompany him? Ah, are all these food left for me?" Before Li Yunniang could reply, , Chen Bing threw the things in his hands aside, hurriedly picked up the steamed cakes on the plate on the table, and stuffed them into his mouth haphazardly.

Li Yunniang put down what she was doing, poured a cup of rice soup and handed it to Chen Bing, saying: "Eat slowly, eat slowly, no one will fight with you, be careful if you choke, drink some rice soup quickly." Chen Bing finished drinking the rice soup, then drank it. After swallowing the last bite of the steamed cake, Li Yunniang said: "Second Niang, what time is it now? Haven't you eaten at home? Fortunately, Qi Niang has prepared some food, otherwise you will be hungry."

Chen Bing nodded and said: "My mother is unwell, so I did this housework for her. The third girl came back the day before yesterday and left a lot of clothes unwashed. I washed them all today, so I am so busy now." , my father and brother went out to fish, and I was reluctant to sit and eat with Wang Tianci, so after settling my mother in, I had no choice but to come to the west courtyard to see if there was anything to eat. Hehe, it was Qiniang and Yun again. Hello, mom, I specially prepared steamed cakes for me to eat."

Li Yunniang still smiled and said: "Chen Dadong's family has been working hard. After busying with things at home, we have to be busy with the West Courtyard. Will we have to inspect the Liu family's yard next door soon? Hehe."

Chen Bing almost spit out the rice soup in his mouth and said hurriedly: "What, what, is it from Chen Dadong's family?"

Sun Qiniang said with a smile: "Yunniang was telling me just now. She said that the self-made business is getting better and better now, so we might as well change the name of the west courtyard to Chen's Miscellaneous Shop. Er Niang is that The big boss, her brother Tingyao, is the second boss."

Li Yunniang blushed with embarrassment and said coquettishly: "What did Nurse Qiniang say? That's Er Niang's brother Tingyao, not mine, so why should I be involved? Now the self-made fire business is indeed getting better and better. Well, it’s almost too late for the Ge Dong family to make the goods they want. This self-made fire was Er Niang’s idea. It’s understandable that she should be a big boss.”

Chen Bing laughed and said: "Okay! What Yun Niang said is right, I will shamelessly become the big boss. But today the big boss came to the West Courtyard, oh no, the reason for coming to the Chen's miscellaneous shop is not to make trouble for myself, but to make trouble for myself. I want you two to go to the Liu Family Courtyard next door and see how Yang Yuniang is responding."

Sun Qiniang didn't wait for Chen Bing to finish what she said, and said, "I'll go to Yang Yuniang's place. Yun Niang is tired today, let her have a good rest." Sun Qiniang has lived in Huahu Village, especially in the west courtyard. It has been almost half a year. Although she has lived here alone, she is accompanied by Yun Niang and Er Niang every day. She does not feel lonely. Although she has to do many things every day and they are also very trivial, for her This life is extremely practical and fulfilling. Compared with the past, she lives more like a person, a person with her own dignity and her own freedom. Therefore, she cherishes her current life very much, and is very fond of her. She said, if you can do more, do more, and if you can share more, share more. She knew that Li Yuniang and Yang Yuniang were not getting along, so she took over the matter of visiting Yang Yuniang.

But Li Yuniang said: "Er Niang, why don't you go? Qi Niang doesn't know medical skills. If Yang Yuniang has an emergency, what should she do?

"

Chen Bing waved his hand and said: "It doesn't matter, Yang Yuniang's poison has been almost cured, and she's not serious anymore. Don't worry. My fourth brother was injured at home yesterday. Fortunately, he's fine, but he still needs to replenish his health. So I brought a bamboo basket for catching finches today. Okay, I will go to the field to catch finches for my fourth brother, and the west courtyard will be left to you two. Oh, by the way, my brother will come to the west courtyard after catching fish soon. Help, Yun Niang, please do your best today,"

As soon as she finished saying this, Chen Bing suddenly felt like the world was spinning. She was holding her forehead and could not stand still. Sun Qiniang felt something was wrong, so she quickly supported Chen Bing and asked, "What's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?" Chen Bingyao felt that something was wrong. Shaking her head, for some reason, she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her lower abdomen. She slowly squatted down, hugged her knees with her hands, and closed her eyes tightly. Sun Qiniang also squatted beside her. After only a few breaths, Chen There were beads of sweat on Bing's forehead.

Sun Qiniang was frightened, thinking that Chen Bing was poisoned like Yang Yuniang, so she immediately called Li Yuniang and said, "Yunniang! Hurry! Go and invite the Cowherd!"

Chen Bing hurriedly waved his hands and said: "There is no need to invite the Cowherd. I have medical skills and can take my own pulse. I don't worry about it. I just felt a huge pain in my abdomen just now, as if I was stabbed by random arrows. I'm fine now." "Many. Maybe I drank some more herbal tea before coming here. I, I'll go to the hut, I think I'll be fine." After saying that, he stood up and went to the backyard on his own.

Li Yuniang, who had been waiting for a long time, felt a little anxious. She asked Sun Qiniang, "Why hasn't Er Niang come out yet? Qiniang, will she be okay? No, I think it's better to invite the Cowherd to come and have a look."

Sun Qiniang was also very anxious. She thought for a moment, shook her head and said, "Wait a little longer, if they don't come out yet, I will go find the Cowherd."

After another meal, Chen Binghu slowly walked back from the backyard with a face on his face. Sun Qiniang and Li Yunniang hurriedly came forward to greet her. Sun Qiniang saw that her expression was wrong and asked with concern: "Er Niang, are you okay?"

Chen Bing looked at Sun Qiniang, lowered his head, sighed, and whispered with a dark face: "I'm fine, I just came to Kuishui."

Li Yunniang didn't understand and asked in confusion: "What is sunflower water?"

Chen Bing did not answer, but Sun Qiniang breathed a sigh of relief. She gently held Chen Bing's hand and said softly: "Second mother, you have grown up."

But Chen Bing whispered: "It's not the right time to come. There are still many things that have not been done. Yun Niang, Qiniang, I'll leave first."

Li Yuniang looked at Chen Bing's leaving figure and asked Sun Qiniang: "Qiniang, what exactly is sunflower water?"
