Looking at the time, it was already midnight. Li Xiaoxiao got up quietly. There was a moon tonight. With the help of the moonlight, he saw Aunt Hua through the crack in the door. He tiptoed to close the door, looked left and right, and walked cautiously towards the west end of the village to make sure there was no one around. Perhaps he was afraid of being discovered, so he walked along the wall.
What was a woman doing going out in the middle of the night? Her husband, Li Laoliu, was an honest man who worked in the county town all year round. It seemed like he had just been away for two days.
Li Xiaoxiao couldn't help but feel curious, so she restrained her breath, walked lightly and followed from a distance.
Aunt Hua walked very fast, without stopping at all, as if she often walked at night.
After walking for a while, they were almost out of the village, but they didn't stop until they were out of the village and headed towards a dense forest to the west of the village.
Li Xiaoxiao followed closely behind. She was good at kung fu, so her steps were light and she held her breath deliberately. She followed all the way without Aunt Hua noticing at all.
After a long time, Aunt Hua finally stopped and looked around, as if looking for someone: "Are you here?" Aunt Hua called out in a low voice.
Suddenly, a figure jumped out from behind the big tree and hugged Aunt Hua.
Aunt Hua cried out in surprise, raised her hand and pretended to hit the man, then said coquettishly: "You bastard, you only know how to scare me."
"How could I scare you? I'm already caring for you. I haven't seen you for a few days. Come on, let me take good care of you." The man in the dark skillfully groped Aunt Hua's body.
Aunt Hua symbolically refused a few times, then gave in. Soon the two of them rolled to the ground, and unspeakable sounds were heard.
Li Xiaoxiao was so upset that she quickly took a few steps back, fearing that she would see scenes that were not suitable for children. This Aunt Hua was really a playboy. As soon as the man left, she came out to find a mistress. Li Xiaoxiao felt bored and was about to go back when she heard Aunt Hua talking again.
"Look how anxious you are. Have you figured out how to help me deal with that little bitch?" The voice was slightly panting.
After saying this, Li Xiaoxiao stopped again. Her intuition told her that what they were talking about was related to her.
"Don't worry, the day before their house is completed, I will go and push down all the walls to vent your anger." The man panted heavily, seeming to be impatient.
"Will it work?" Aunt Hua was a little hesitant.
"Of course, you can trust me to do the job." The man assured in a low and hoarse voice.
Li Xiaoxiao couldn't hear it clearly, but she had never heard this voice before. If she had heard it, she would have an impression of it. It was probably from Qinghe Village, but she didn't know many people in the village.
When you talk about tearing down the house, isn't she the one you're talking about? She has a grudge against Aunt Hua, and she's the only one building the house. She has such a vicious mind. Fortunately, she came along today, otherwise it would be troublesome. Before leaving, she glanced in that direction again. I'll let you two dogs live happily for a few more days.
The sounds of fighting in the woods intensified.
When she returned, Li Xiaoxiao didn't tell anyone about this and acted just like usual.
Just one day after everything was quiet, something strange happened again in the old house.
The reason was that Li Xiaoxiao poured water all over Old Lady Li yesterday, and the old lady had a fever at night and couldn’t get out of bed the next day.
The visitor was Su from the third room. It was her first time to visit Li Xiaoxiao's home. Looking at the simple thatched hut and thinking about the new house that her family was building, she sighed, "At least you guys made it through."
When Sun saw her coming, she hurriedly pulled her into the house to sit down. Li Xiaoxiao poured her a glass of water with brown sugar in it. In their village, brown sugar is used to entertain guests during the New Year. Su repeatedly stopped her: "Xiaoxiao, don't put brown sugar in it, it's too precious."
"Third Aunt, don't be polite with me. You've come here with great difficulty." Li Xiaoxiao poured her a full glass of water and took out some snacks. Su was a good person. Li Xiaoxiao knew it well. She had her own standards in life. If someone showed me respect, I would give them a yard. If one day Su needed her help, she would definitely do her best.
Su had never drunk brown sugar water at the Li family. She held the cup with both hands, looking reserved. She took a small sip and it was sweet and delicious. She couldn't help but take a big sip. Soon the cup of water was empty. Li Xiaoxiao poured her another cup and handed the snack to her directly because she was afraid that she would be embarrassed to eat it.
Su had no choice but to take it and savored it carefully. She felt her eyes sore but she forced herself to hold it in. After she finished eating, she told him the purpose of her visit.
The fourth son and his wife knew that it would be extremely difficult to get money from Li Xiaoxiao, so they did not dare to ask for it. So Old Lady Li asked Su to come. Before the family split up, Sun and Su were good friends. Before leaving, Old Lady Li said that they should not come back if they did not get the money.
Su had no choice but to come forward.
"Aunt San, is grandma really sick?" After knowing the reason, Li Xiaoxiao became curious, wondering if grandma Li was that fragile.
This question really hit Su. Yesterday, Old Lady Li scolded her angrily, complaining that she worked slowly. The next day, she suddenly couldn't get out of bed.
Su said hesitantly that she just saw Old Lady Li lying on the bed. As to whether she was really sick, she didn't know, but she didn't see her call a doctor either.
Li Xiaoxiao probably understood.
Old Mrs. Li knew that her family had a good relationship with the Su family and she felt embarrassed to offend her, so she sent her here specifically to ask for the money.
The Li family really had a good plan, thinking they could get the money this way. It was just a dream.
"Aunt San, don't they want money? I'll go with you. Whoever wants money can ask me for it. This has nothing to do with you." The Li family really does everything they can. They can even think of this trick. She wants to see whether Old Mrs. Li is really sick or just pretending.
"Xiaoxiao, let me go with you." Sun was a little worried. She felt scared when she thought of the group of people from Old Li's family.
"Why don't I go with you?" Li Dahai was equally worried, and at the same time secretly wanted to see if Old Lady Li was really sick. No matter what was wrong with her, she was still his mother.
"I can go by myself. You just wait at home. If grandma is really sick, I know medical skills and I can see her." Li Xiaoxiao didn't want them to go. It would be more difficult to do things with too many people. With the rogue nature of the Li family, they would definitely suffer if they went.
"When did you learn medical skills?" Li Dahai was a little surprised. When had her daughter ever learned medical skills?
Sun and Su also looked curious.
"Dad, do you remember the last time I went to sell ginseng, the owner of the medicine shop, Yu, said that I had a talent for medicine and wanted to take me in as his apprentice. He taught me all these, and he also taught me to recognize herbs. The most I can treat is ordinary typhoid fever." Li Xiaoxiao said silently in her heart, "I'll borrow your name first, and I'll definitely send him some good medicinal materials when I have them."
Another thing is that there is no doctor in their village. If the news that she has medical skills spreads, she can even treat patients and charge consultation fees in the future. When Li Xiaoxiao said this, several people were still skeptical.
Li Xiaoxiao followed Su. Su was worried all the way with a frown on his face.
"Third Aunt, you've worked so hard. Your third room prepares all the meals for such a large family." Li Xiaoxiao could tell what Su was thinking.
Su showed a smile that was uglier than crying, and twitched the corners of her mouth: "There is no other way. You have separated, but our family cannot separate."
"Aunt San, if you have a chance in the future, you must separate your family."
Su nodded helplessly, but she also knew that it was not that easy. The eldest son's family lived in the county town and spent a lot of money every month. The second branch was separated out, and the fourth branch was the apple of Old Lady Li's eye, so she naturally didn't let them work. Now the Li family mainly relied on the third branch to work. The third son of the Li family worked in the county town and could earn several hundred coins every month. How could Old Lady Li agree to this?
When she arrived at the old house, Su was nervous. She didn't get the money and didn't know what Old Lady Li would do to her.
Li Xiaoxiao went straight into the main room, and Su followed her with her head down.
As soon as Li Xiaoxiao entered the room, she saw Old Lady Li lying on the kang, but she couldn't see clearly because she was far away.
