A car accident, our family of three crossed

At the headman's house, Xiao Wang saw that it was very hot, so she fetched a basin of cold water and went into the house to wipe He Tiesheng's body to make him feel refreshed.

She had just finished her work and was pouring used water on the muddy ground in the yard to press down the dust when she suddenly heard someone calling her.

Xiao Wang looked outside the yard and saw He Li acting suspiciously outside.

"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law." He Li was waving at her.

Xiao Wang put down the wooden basin and walked out suspiciously, not knowing what this man wanted from her.

"Sister-in-law? What's the matter?"

"I have something to say. It's something related to Tie Sheng. Come to my house and I'll tell you everything."

When she heard that it was related to He Tiesheng, Xiao Wang became nervous and left with He Li without thinking much. She only returned home absent-mindedly when it was almost evening and time to prepare dinner.

He was hiding something in his mind and was distracted when preparing dinner. The dishes were almost burnt. It was only when Mrs. He Wang came in to remind him that he reacted.

"What's that smell?"

"Oh no! It's bad." Little Wang woke up as if from a dream and immediately became flustered.

"What are you thinking about? You look absent-minded." Seeing her look, He Wangshi couldn't help but scold her.

"I'm sorry, mom. I didn't think much of anything. I was just worried about Tiesheng's legs!"

Little Wang lowered her head guiltily, not daring to look at anyone. She quickly cooked the dish and brought it out.

After dinner, Xiao Wang prepared some boiled medicine and brought it to He Tiesheng. She watched him drink the medicine, took the bowl but did not leave for a long time.

He Tiesheng could see that she was worried and couldn't help asking, "What's wrong?"

Xiao Wang looked at him, then immediately turned away to hide her flickering eyes, and said awkwardly: "This Shuheng's wife has a hard time too. Her family has also suffered a disaster, but she still thought of sending medicine to us. I said that to her the other day, which was really wrong. Alas! I don't know how to face her."

He Tiesheng was surprised that she could say this. How could he not know what the person beside him was thinking? He had been blaming her before, but he didn't expect that she would figure it out now.

He Tiesheng was relieved that his wife could have such awareness. He held her hand and even spoke in a gentler voice: "You are right to think so. My suffering has nothing to do with Shuheng and his wife. We can't blame them. You also said that Shuheng's wife has a hard time too. She still thought of sending medicine to us. We must remember this kindness."

"I see. I'll go to her house tomorrow to see if there's anything I can do to help her."

"That's a good idea." He Tiesheng agreed with her plan. "When we have nothing to do, our two families should visit each other more often. Think about it, Shuheng is already a student, and maybe he will pass the exam and become a scholar next year. It will definitely be a good thing for our family to visit theirs more often."

"Yes, I know." Little Wang nodded perfunctorily, "Well, I'll take the dishes out and wash them."

After saying that, she went out with the bowl in her hand. After leaving the house, she let out a long sigh, feeling a little relieved.

Nothing happened that night. The next morning, Xiao Wang did not go to the Hang family, but Song Ning came first and brought two large bones, saying that they could be stewed into soup, which would be good for people with bone injuries. As the saying goes, you gain what you eat.

Little Wang was holding the big bone, feeling a little complicated, "Shuheng's wife, how can I ask you to spend money, this..."

"Take it, sister-in-law. This big bone is not worth much." Song Ning said, then thought about it and felt it was inappropriate, and said, "Don't think this big bone is worthless. It is a good thing to make soup. Not to mention that Brother Tiesheng is injured and can drink more big bone soup, but also the children are in the growth period, drinking more big bone soup will help their growth, so sister-in-law, please don't despise it."

"How can I despise you? You have a lot of problems at home, and you always send things to us. How can we shamelessly accept them? You should take it back. Your Yangyang is still growing up!" Xiao Wang declined.

Song Ning lifted the basket in her hand and said, "I still have some. Don't worry about us."

Little Wang really didn't want to accept Song Ning's kindness and was about to say something to refuse, but He Wang happened to come out of the house and knew the purpose of Song Ning's visit. She said to Little Wang: "Shuheng's wife sent it to you, so just accept it. Then make some soup and send a bowl to them."

Since her mother-in-law had already spoken, Xiao Wang had no choice but to accept it and took it into the kitchen to process it.

After seeing Song Ning off, He Wangshi walked into the kitchen and looked at the big bones that Xiao Wangshi had cleaned. She said, "Let's start stewing now. This big bone will take a long time to stew. It will be ready in time for lunch. You can send a bowl to Shuheng's wife and his mother and son. This is a give-and-take relationship."

"Yes, I understand, mother." Little Wang agreed obediently, but her heart was not at peace. She had not yet thought of a reason to approach Song Ning, nor had she made adequate preparations, but the opportunity was already in front of her.

If she missed this opportunity, she might never have another chance in the future. She secretly made up her mind and decided to give it a try.

After she put the big bones into the pot, she said to He Wangshi, "Mother, you watch the fire. It has rained recently. I will go to the ridge of the field to see if there are any fresh wild vegetables and dig some for me."

"Okay, you go."

Little Wang went out with a basket, not to the fields, but straight to He Dazhu's house.

"Sister-in-law, if this thing succeeds, it's fine. If it's exposed, none of us will get any good results."

"Don't worry. Put this stuff in the soup. As long as she drinks it, she will immediately pass out. When she wakes up, the matter will be done. By then, everyone's saliva will be enough to drown her. Who will pay attention to us?"

He Li handed Xiao Wang a small paper bag and a ten-liang silver note, "For Tie Sheng's leg to get better, you must not be soft-hearted. Sister Cui Ju said that after the matter is completed, she will give you another ten liang of silver!"

In fact, Zhang Cuiju gave her twenty taels. When it came to her, she secretly deducted ten taels, and when she gave it to Xiao Wangshi, there were only ten taels.

"Just remember to honor your promise once it's done."

Xiao Wang accepted the banknotes and paper bag, and took a bunch of wild vegetables from He Li's house when she left, so that she would have something to say when she got home. As soon as Xiao Wang left, He Li hurried to the village entrance.
