Yang Huazhong rushed to Li Laogen's house with Chang Gen in the rain all night. Before leaving, he told Sun not to wait and go back to the house to sleep.

Although Mrs. Sun nodded and sent them out of the house, how could she sleep peacefully?

So I went back to the house and bought a cotton coat, then returned to the main room, lit the candle, sat in the fire barrel and waited...

After a while, Xiaohua also came over.

"Mom, I see no one is in your room, why don't you sleep here?" Xiaohua asked.

Mrs. Sun curled up in the fire barrel and dozed off. When she heard Xiao Hua's voice, she raised her head, rubbed her sleepy eyes and told her about the incident of growing roots.

Xiaohua was also full of surprise, "How old is Li Mao this year? He doesn't seem to be very old, right?"

Sun said: "About the same age as Xiao An, almost twenty."

Seeing Xiaohua standing on the ground, Mrs. Sun said to her: "Stop standing here and go back to the house quickly. Feng'er and Fuwa will wake up later and won't see you crying."

Xiaohua said: "It doesn't matter, they both slept deeply at night and won't wake up until dawn. I'll sit with my mother for a while."

"Then quickly put your feet in the fire barrel." Mrs. Sun gave up a piece of land to Xiaohua.

Xiaohua was not in a hurry, and went to make two bowls of red dates and wolfberry water, one bowl for Mrs. Sun, and one bowl for herself to warm her hands. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law huddled in the fire barrel, talking, waiting for Yang Huazhong to come back.

About an hour later, it was still dark outside, but the rain had lightened up a bit.

Mrs. Sun sighed: "Although the villagers praise your father for being such an upright person, this job is really hard."

"People in the village don't care about big or small things. They all like to come to your father for advice. I see that there are several white hairs sprouting on your father's head recently!"

Xiaohua smiled bitterly: "Those who are capable work hard. If we really persuade dad to quit his upright job, I'm afraid he won't be used to it either."

Mrs. Sun nodded, "He is just a tired man. I don't know what is going on with Li Mao. From what your Uncle Chang Gen said earlier, it seems that Li Mao is very irritable and even beats people up..."

At dawn, the rain stopped and Yang Huazhong finally came back.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law quickly got down from the fire barrel, "Dad, what's going on over there?"

Yang Huazhong said: "That Li Mao is really ill. He actually broke the head of his father, Li Laogen. If Chang Gen and I hadn't arrived in time, I would have taken a hammer to open Li Laogen's head."

ladle."

"Ah?" Sun and Xiaohua were both stunned.

Seeing that Yang Huazhong did not drink hot tea or go to the fire barrel to warm up the fire, but went straight to the backyard, Sun quickly caught up and asked: "Are you going back to the house to catch up on your sleep?"

Yang Huazhong shook his head: "I don't have time anymore. I'm going to change my clothes. I'll hitch a carriage to take Li Mao to the hospital in the town later. Chang Gen has also gone home to change his clothes. I'll drive the carriage to the door of Li Laogen's house later."

go."

"Going to town? Just you and Chang Gen taking Li Mao?" asked Sun again.

What if Li Mao goes crazy again and beats him and Chang Gen?

Yang Huazhong said: "Li Laogen will go too."

"Isn't his head broken? Can he go?"

"It's not too serious. He can go. Uncle Fu has bandaged him. He won't worry if he doesn't go!" Yang Huazhong said.

"Let's not talk so much for now. Let me find some clothes for you."

Mrs. Sun quickly nodded and Xiaohua said: "Mom, you go help dad find clothes first. I'll go to the kitchen to boil a pot of hot water and let dad soak his feet in hot water first to get rid of the cold."

Yang Huazhong said: "Forget it, it's too late."

Sun said: "Hot water is heated very quickly. No matter what, I have to soak my feet before walking."

Seeing that Sun's attitude was tough and Xiaohua trotted to the kitchen, Yang Huazhong had no choice but to compromise.

…

After dawn, the rain stopped long ago, and the women washing themselves by the pond at the entrance of the village were all talking about what happened at Li Laogen's house last night.

"Did that kid Li Mao get into trouble or something? Why did a young man who usually looks so kind and amicable suddenly went crazy and beat his own father?"

"I heard that he was ill. He was so powerful that several people couldn't hold him down."

"Old Li's ancestors didn't have those strange diseases, and this shouldn't be the case..."

"Who knows what happened? I heard that today Ma Ma was sent to the big medical clinic in the town by Li Zheng and Chang Gen. When they left, Li Mao was tied up and stuffed into the carriage.

!”

"I hope it can be cured. Li Laogen has been a bachelor for half his life and finally got such a son..."

Li Laogen's house.

Following Yang Huazhong's instructions before leaving, Mrs. Sun came to visit Mrs. Peng and her daughter.

The main room of Li Laogen's house was in a mess, with tables and chairs overturned and the ground in a mess.

Mrs. Peng sat on the threshold and wiped her tears, while Osmanthus squatted beside her to comfort her.

Li Laogen's daughter, , who was fourteen or fifteen years old, was silently cleaning up the broken pieces of the tea bowl on the ground with a broom.

Seeing Ms. Sun coming over, timidly called Ms. Sun "aunt".

Mrs. Sun looked at and found that blood relationship was really magical. Li Laogen and Li Changgen were cousins, and Xiaolian's appearance was 50% or 60% similar to that of her cousin Xiaoyu.

No wonder Osmanthus likes this little lotus and likes to send all the delicious things here. Fortunately, Xiaoyu married to Qing'an County, which is far away. With the third child giving birth to twin sons, the Ning family's parents are already old.

The power of being the matron of the house was completely handed over to Xiao Yu, so Xiao Yu had less and less time to return to her parents' home.

Although Xiao Yu often sent messages to take Gui Hua and Chang Gen to live in Qing'an County, Gui Hua and Chang Gen were used to life in the village and did not want to go.

The longing and concern for their daughter are always in their hearts, so Xiaolian, who looks similar to Xiaoyu, has become the emotional sustenance of Guihua and Changgen.

"You go about your business, I'll come over and chat with your mother." Mrs. Sun said to gently.

nodded slightly, turned around and continued to clean up the house.

Guihua saw Mrs. Sun and waved to Mrs. Sun, who came to them and tilted her head to look at Mrs. Peng.

Mrs. Peng was sitting on the threshold, her head drooped, holding an indistinguishable handkerchief to wipe her tears and nose, completely unaware of Mrs. Sun's arrival.

Osmanthus nudged Peng, "Sister-in-law, Qing'er is here to see you."

Mrs. Peng then raised her head belatedly and saw Mrs. Sun in front of her. Mrs. Peng leaned forward to get up. Mrs. Sun raised her hand and pressed Mrs. Peng's shoulders: "Just sit down and let's talk."

Mrs. Peng sat back again, and when she saw Mr. Sun, she was a little reserved, but also a little grateful, as if she had seen her backbone, and her tears fell down.

Just as Mrs. Sun was about to speak out to comfort Mrs. Peng, came over.

"Aunts, please sit down for a while."

Two small horses were sent behind Guihua and Sun respectively.
