Ye Meiniang was a little worried and asked Chen Xingzu: "If Uncle Weng and Aunt Yan ask where these mutton buns come from, how should I answer?"

Chen Xingzu said: "Just tell the truth."

After Ye Meiniang went out, Chen Bing asked Chen Xingzu: "Dad, just now you said that there were two white water fish in the water tank at home, and you said that you were afraid of it in the future, and then you didn't say anything else. My mother was here just now, so I couldn't ask, this fish

Is it inconvenient to give it to the Cowherd?"

Chen Xingzu sighed and said: "That's not true. Even if there are no fish at home, I will catch the fish in Taihu Lake and give them to the Cowherd. But today I went to the county town, and Han Xiaosi from the fish shop has already sent someone to explain it.

I contacted Shopkeeper Wu of Wujia Foot Shop and asked him not to accept my fish. No matter what I said, he refused to let go. In the end, Shopkeeper Wu only said that he would accept my fish, but he could only accept it secretly. He could not let Han Xiao

Si knew that the price could only be half of the previous price. Hey, today I just said that I would reply to him tomorrow. Then I went to Deyilou again, and the shopkeeper Qin clearly rejected me. He said that the fish in Deyilou was

It has always been provided by the fish shop, and he also promised the fish shop not to accept fish from other people. I had no other choice, and finally had to go to Dexian Building again. I never thought that shopkeeper Liu would also say the same thing.

I have always underestimated the dirty tricks of people like Yuhang, and it seems that this time I am afraid it will be very difficult to get rid of them."

After hearing this, Chen Bing was also very angry. He thought that this method was a bit like forcing someone to go to jail. He thought to himself: "Yu Xing's method of breaking your life is just to force you to join Yu Xing." After Chen Bing was silent for a moment, he asked: "

Daddy, does mom know about this?"

Chen Xingzu nodded and said: "Meiniang knows this. I told her this matter when I came back. Tomorrow I will go to the county seat again to intercede with the shopkeeper Wu. If it still doesn't work, in order to have enough food, I can't say anything.

I can only go fishing."

After Ye Meiniang came back from delivering the mutton buns, she found that Chen Tingyao, who was sleeping on the floor, was sweating, his face was flushed, his eyes were closed, and his breathing was rapid. Something was wrong, so she touched his forehead and called out: "Xingzu

, come and see, Dalang’s forehead is so hot.”

Chen Bing hurriedly went outside to get a basin of cold water, wrung out the white cloth, and gently covered Chen Tingyao's forehead, while his right hand quietly rested on Chen Tingyao's pulse.

"This pulse is rapid and weak but strong. The main disease of the pulse is heat. If it is strong, it is excess fire. If it is weak, it is empty fire. If it is floating, it is superficial heat. If it is sinking, it is internal heat. My brother should have a floating pulse.

What's more, he has night sweats and fever, so he must just be suffering from wind and cold." Chen Bing thought to himself.

Ye Meiniang was very anxious. She supported Chen Tingyao and said with concern: "Da Lang, tell me quickly, where do you feel uncomfortable?"

Chen Tingyao opened his eyes drowsily, feeling very weak, and whispered: "Mom, my whole body is hot, I'm sweating, my throat is sore, I'm weak, my hands and feet are sore, Mom, I feel so uncomfortable, am I going to die?"

Ye Meiniang felt sad after hearing this. She had already been worried about one child today, and now she had to worry about another child. The feeling in her heart was sour and unbearable, but she could only say softly: "Don't talk nonsense, sir.

It'll be fine, it's just a minor illness. I asked my father to invite the Cowherd to see him. After the Cowherd comes to see him and drinks a dose of medicine, my brother will be fine." After Chen Tingyao responded,

He leaned back on the soft pillow that Chen Bing had sewn for him and fell asleep again.

Seeing Chen Xingzu still standing there, Ye Meiniang felt angry. She pushed Chen Xingzu who was standing aside with one hand and scolded: "Why are you still standing there stupidly? Go and invite the Cowherd."

Only then did Chen Xingzu react, and after saying yes, he was about to go out.

Chen Bing felt very guilty in her heart. If she hadn't been looking for herself, her brother wouldn't have caught the cold. Fortunately, after she checked Chen Tingyao's pulse, she felt very confident and said to herself: "Judging from the pulse, my brother should be fine. Pound the cow tendon collected today and add it to honeysuckle and decoct it, and you will be fine in two or three days." Chen Bing called out to Chen Xingzu and said, "Dad, I think my brother's illness is caused by wind and cold, but it can affect me today. I gave my brother some of the collected beef tendon and honeysuckle decoction. The herbal medicine can cure wind and cold."

Ye Meiniang was the first to say: "No. Erniang, you don't know medical skills, how do you know that Dalang has wind-cold? What if it's not the case and he takes the wrong medicine? Xingzu, go quickly, you have to ask the Cowherd to do it. It’s been a hard trip.”

"I know medical skills." Chen Bing thought that her brother was sick and she would treat him no matter what. She didn't need to worry about what she had promised to the Cowherd. So she said this without thinking too much. blurted out.

Ye Meiniang said angrily: "You child, how long have you been here, and you are still messing around here? How can you know any medical skills at such a young age? Don't think that you have followed the Cowherd to collect herbs for a few times, and then you regard yourself as a doctor. Come on. Xingzu, why don’t you go?”

Chen Xingzu didn't stay any longer, opened the door and went to invite the cowherd. Chen Bing took Chen Tingyao's pulse again, and after confirming that he had just taken the pulse correctly, he said: "Mom, brother is indeed just suffering from the cold. I really know some medical skills. This is what the Cowherd taught me."

Ye Meiniang did not take Chen Bing's repeated emphasis on her medical skills to heart, but she said warmly: "Second mother, I was a little anxious just now and spoke a little too hastily. I want to say I'm sorry first, mother. I'm just worried about Da Lang and worried about his health, I hope you won't take it to heart."

"Mom, I am your child, why do you have to say sorry to me? No mother in the world would say bad words to her child. You love me very much. I know this very well. , I came back late today. When you opened the door, I saw that your eye circles were red. You must have cried secretly at home. Mom, I know clearly in my heart your care and love for me. In fact, I feel even more regretful. Comparing my feelings with my own, I can see that your love and devotion to your brother are the same. Mom, you love to laugh on weekdays, and your smile is very beautiful and sweet, but today I haven’t smiled since I came back. See you smiling, mother, and I also hope that my brother will get better soon, so that I can see mother’s beautiful, generous and moving smile again." Chen Bing said while taking off the white cloth from Chen Tingyao's forehead, and again After passing the cold water, it covered his forehead again.

Ye Meiniang nodded Chen Bing's forehead and said: "What your father said is absolutely right. You are sweet-tongued and know how to make your mother happy. Er Niang, you and Dalang are both my children, so of course I am You have to make a bowl of water even." Then he sighed and said, "Hey, I will never be like Yan Gu, and my own child is so contemptuous and looked down upon."

"Mom, since my mother-in-law doesn't look down on my father, why doesn't Weng Weng also look down on me?" Chen Bing asked the question that had been in his heart for a long time.

Ye Meiniang sneered and said: "Humph, no one in this family looks down on you, Weng Weng. In his view, everything in this world is for profit, and he will do anything that is profitable.

He will fawn over anyone he likes. After Anxu was defeated, the price of food reached two guans and one stone. These villages near Taihu Lake were better off, but life in other places was difficult. People selling their sons and daughters were commonplace.

You, Weng Weng, took a fancy to this. In his opinion, the price of food will eventually drop, and you, Er Niang, are also beautiful. At the peak, he sold you to Li Yuanwai for twenty dan.

Food is very cost-effective, so he encouraged your mother-in-law to sell you, but he was just making suggestions behind the scenes, and it is your mother-in-law who bears all the infamy."

"But this family is full of relatives who are related to him by blood, so doesn't he miss a little bit of family affection?" Chen Bing was quite puzzled by this. In her opinion, family affection in this world far outweighs the so-called interests.

Ye Meiniang said disdainfully: "Family love? Humph, there is no such thing as family love in his eyes. All there is is interest. If he talked about family love, he would send Chen Yuniang to Shuikou Town to be a concubine to the fifty-year-old Wang Yuanwai? Then Wang Yuanwai

When he was fifty years old and still had no heirs, he decided to take a concubine. He looked for a suitable girl everywhere, but other families were not willing to give him a concubine to a fifty-year-old man.

He agreed, saying that Yu Niang was still young and just wanted to betrothed to a family in the same village so that he could see her more often in the future. But when Wang Yuanwai offered the price to fifty guan, he readily agreed. Hum, he said

It sounds nice, but you are not using those words to raise the price. Poor Yu Niang was only fourteen years old when she got married. Your father loves this sister very much and is extremely reluctant to let go. But what's the use?

Marriage is a matter of parents' order and matchmaker's advice, and your father has no other choice."

Chen Bing suddenly felt a chill. She, Weng Weng, had hardly left the main hall since she broke her leg. Chen Bing had no chance to come into contact with him. The first time she saw her Weng Weng was on New Year's Eve.

She has a kind face and a humorous speech, which makes her have a pretty good impression of herself. She originally thought that it was her mother-in-law who advocated selling her, and it was her mother-in-law who was not dealing with Westinghouse. Unexpectedly, after Ye Meiniang's words

After some suggestions, she suddenly realized that Weng Weng was the culprit behind her mother-in-law's death, and that this culprit was also the real culprit who planned to sell her. How could she not be shocked?

Chen Bing sighed in his heart, secretly thinking that he should be more cautious in the future, lest he was sold and still helping to count the money. Suddenly he became interested in the third girl he had never met before, and asked: "Mom, those three girls

Did she come back after she got married? How is she doing now?"

Ye Meiniang shook her head and sighed: "Yu Niang came back once five years ago. I saw that she was quite emaciated and haggard. I thought her visit was not satisfactory. She has not come back since. Hey, Yu Niang is also a

Poor people."

Chen Bing sighed and said, "The third girl is afraid that she will hate Weng Weng and her mother-in-law to death."

Ye Meiniang said: "Since ancient times, marriages have been ordered by the parents. For the daughter's family, this is fate. No matter how much she complains, she has no choice but to accept her fate. Therefore, I will definitely take care of your marriage in the future, Er Niang."

Keep your eyes open to check on you carefully."

Chen Bing pursed her lips and said shyly: "Mom, how come you keep talking about me? Daddy promised me to stay with daddy and mom forever. How can mom not keep her words?

Go back on your word, I won’t marry, I won’t marry, I won’t marry.”

Ye Meiniang smiled and said: "My daughter's family always wants to get married. Don't worry, I won't marry my second mother off so casually. I must choose someone I like. That's all.

Mei Decai, his father is lazy and lazy, but he is a prodigal. Although he is willing to work in business, is a good carpenter, and is good at running a household, he has too many thoughts and is not very down-to-earth. I

Both you and your father thought that we should find someone more down-to-earth, so we didn't fall in love with him. He came to ask for a kiss twice, but your father rejected him both times." As soon as Ye Meiniang finished speaking, she heard the sound of the courtyard door opening.

, she winked at Chen Bing and whispered into her ear: "Shh! Don't let your father know about what I told you today about your father-in-law and your mother-in-law."
