Chapter 6 Schadenfreude

Su Ling finished cooking and went into the house. She saw the two little ones sitting there with big eyes staring at the little one. Xiao Wu's eyes were still a little red and she asked in surprise: "What's going on? Are you arguing?"

"No way? Xiao Wu is worried about the livelihood of the family. I said I could make money, but she didn't believe it and her eyes turned red with anger."

Lingsu was angry and funny, and tapped her forehead: "You go ahead and do something naughty, what are you going to do to provoke Xiaowu? She is more delicate and not as strong as you, but you prefer teasing her. If you really make her cry, look at my mother when she comes back.

I won’t beat you.”

Lingyu:......

Who is so angry with you that his eyes are red? I am not...

Forget it, even though this is her biological sister, she can still be considered a person who has lived two lifetimes. In her eyes, this biological sister is just a little baby. Why should she care about her?

Lingyu touched her face and forced a smile: "I'm fine."

Brothers and sisters in the same family, bickering over nothing, being annoyed and being nice sometimes, is not worth taking seriously.

Lingsu smiled gently.

She was an orphan in her previous life, and she said she died to save others, but in fact it was just a lonely world, and she had no one to love in her life, so she could die calmly.

In this twelve years of life, my father is kind and serious, my mother is gentle and dignified, my eldest brother is honest and kind, my second brother is rebellious but loves them very much, my fourth sister is naughty and cute but also considerate, and my little sister is so delicate and delicate that people can't help but pity them.

, so her parents and brothers and sisters are the ones she keeps in mind after all.

Worryingly, he checked Xiaoxun's pulse again to confirm that she was fine, and then smiled and said: "Mom and second brother will be back soon. It's really difficult to walk on this muddy road. You two stay at home while I go to meet you."

Once you welcome them, you can help carry some things."

Qixun hurriedly pulled her: "Sister, you've been busy all day, please get on the kang and rest for a while. I'm thinking that my mother will definitely take someone else's ox cart back. Our house is not far from the main road, wait and see

It won’t be too late to wait until they hear news of their return.”

Lingsu smiled: "That's fine."

Sitting on the kang, thinking of the quarrel between the two young men, Lingyu said: "I told you earlier that you don't have to worry about family matters, and making money is not something you should think about. There are two of us here.

My brother and my mother are here. I studied medicine with my grandpa since I was a child, and I know a lot of medicinal materials. When I have time, I can go to the mountains to dig some medicinal materials, prepare them and sell them, and I can always make some money."

Grandfather Gong Yujin was the imperial physician of the former Imperial Hospital. He later resigned due to being implicated. On his way back to his hometown, he was seriously injured by a bandit. He temporarily lived in Yanjia Village, thinking of recovering from his injuries before returning to his hometown. As a result, his only daughter Gongyu

Mingxi accidentally fell into the water while doing laundry and was rescued by Yan's father, Yan Fengchi. Yan Fengchi's grandfather served in the Hanlin Academy in Beijing during his lifetime. He and Gong Yujin were officials in the same dynasty and were considered acquaintances. Gong Yujin simply married his daughter to Yan Fengchi.

After the two got married, Gong Yujin thought that there were no relatives alive in his hometown, and he was worried about his only daughter, so he simply settled in Yanjia Village, built a house next to his son-in-law's house, and became neighbors with his family.

Yan Lingsu showed amazing talent in medical skills since she was a child. She continued to study medicine with her grandfather until the old man passed away.

But because she was young and came from a girl's family, she had never had anyone's pulse checked before.

Therefore, it was not a big lie when she said that she would make money by getting herbal medicine.

Qi Xun said, if she insists that she can make money, the third sister will definitely not believe it like Xiao Wu. She is too lazy to say anything.

But just sitting like this was boring, so I had to chat awkwardly: "How about I tell you a joke?"

Without waiting for the two little girls to agree, she continued: "Speaking of which, a centipede was bitten by a venomous snake and was sent to the animal clinic for emergency treatment. After diagnosis, the doctor said: To prevent the poison from spreading, amputation is necessary. You have to endure it."

Stop! The centipede said, I have many legs, so cut them off! I can hold on! The doctor comforted it, good brother, be more open-minded, you will be an earthworm from now on."

Lingyu covered her mouth and smiled to save face, and Lingsu's eyes were also full of smiles.

The three sisters laughed and joked for a while. Lingsu heard the footsteps outside and looked through the window, and saw her mother and her second brother Gong Yuhao coming back carrying things.

Lingsu hurriedly jumped out of bed, put on her shoes and went to greet the person.

Qixun and Lingyu were lying on the window looking out.

Yan Niang opened the bamboo fence gate and entered the courtyard first, followed by her second brother Gong Yuhao. However, her foot slipped and she hit the bamboo gate and fell down into the mud.

Qixun and Lingyu both stared in shock and opened their mouths.

But he was still protecting the package and holding it high, looking ridiculous.

Qixun: "...I hope the door is okay."

Lingyu: "...poof."

Lingyu thought that it seemed unkind to laugh at her second brother like this. In order to show her kindness, she rolled her eyes at Qixun and said angrily: "Shouldn't you be worried about your second brother now? You are worried about coming to the door. I'll look back later.

Just tell second brother."

Because my grandfather had no children, Yan Niang gave birth to three children with her first child, and among the three children, the eldest son and the second son were all boys. Grandpa discussed with Yan’s father and adopted the second son to Gong Yu’s family, so the second brother followed.

My grandfather's surname was Gongyu, which was recorded in the name of my uncle who died young.

Gongyu is a very rare compound surname. Later, Yan Niang gave birth to twins Qixun and Lingyu. Qixun was also adopted to her uncle who died young, so she was named Qixun instead of following the Yan family.

The spiritual generation.

Therefore, she is no longer called Yan Qixun in this life. Her current name is Gongyu Qixun.

Strictly speaking, Qixun and second brother Gong Yuhao are actually cousins ​​with their eldest brother and older sister. However, in their own family, the five brothers and sisters are all called according to their own order.

The two little people were leaning against the window and gloating about their misfortune. Lingsu was very kind and hurriedly ran to take the things from Gong Yuhao's hand and even freed up one hand to support him.

Yan's mother-in-law, Yushi Mingxi, looked at her frizzy son and her two silly daughters lying on the window sill, and shook her head.

The kid's skin is strong and can't be broken by being dropped, but now he's worried if he doesn't have any clothes to change.

None of them are worried.

When Mother entered the house, Qixun and Lingyu also got off the kang and talked around Gongyu Mingxi: "Mom, what did you and your second brother buy? Why are there so many?"

"Because I don't have much money, I only bought two beddings. Let's make do with them for now. I also bought a few kilograms of silk cotton and a few pieces of fabric to make you a change of clothes. Then I just bought some coarse grains and oil and salt. From now on, I will just

I'm afraid that you will have to live a hard life with my mother for a few days. But this is temporary, and I will find a way to earn some money when I come back."

There is no cotton these days, and ordinary people have little money. In winter, they stuff their clothes with straw, kapok, and cattails for warmth. Those from better families use silk cotton. In addition to silk cotton, rich people also have leather.

The Yan family originally had several old leather cloaks, but they were all destroyed by the fire.

Mr. Gongyu is really worried about how he will survive this winter.

Because I couldn't bear to let my children get sick from the cold, I reluctantly bought silk cotton to make winter clothes for the children.

While helping put things away, Lingsu said: "Earlier, the Zuo family's grandma sent a few kilograms of rice noodles, a jar of porridge, and a few cakes. The eldest grandpa sent fifty kilograms of grains and two quilts, and the second grandpa also sent

I came over with thirty kilograms of brown rice and ten taels of silver. We kept the things, but I refused the money. People from the clan also came, saying that they would collect some grain from each family and send it to them. I think every family is in a tight situation now.

, then didn’t respond, and just said that my two uncles’ families had sent some, and our family would buy some for ourselves, which would be enough to last until next summer’s harvest.”
