After the marriage was severed, I fled with my golden finger to protect my mother

"You brought back a large piece of fat yesterday, so I used it to make oil. Look, there are two large jars of lard over there, and a large basin of lard residue."

Lin also took a bite of the dumpling, savoring this long-lost delicacy, her face full of satisfaction.

In fact, she didn't have any serious illness, it's just that she had a hard time in recent years. In order to raise her son, she had to work hard every day. In addition, she was reluctant to eat some good things herself, and tried to feed them all to her growing son, which ruined her health.

Yesterday, Li Xiao brought back such a big pig's trotter, washed it and stewed it, and added a handful of soybeans into the stew. The taste was simply amazing.

This made Lin, who originally had no appetite, drink half a bowl of soup and eat a piece of meat. After sleeping for a night, perhaps because of the supplement of nutrition, he actually felt much better today.

After his spirits recovered, his body was no longer weak, so he stopped lying in bed and got up to clean up the house inside and out.

It was a coincidence that just as she had cleaned up the small courtyard, Zhang Dazhui came in with a beautiful girl.

The time when Zhang Dazhu saved Li Xiao, he also sent the person back, so Lin also knew him.

The two men did not come empty-handed. They not only brought cotton-padded clothes, cotton pants and quilts, they also brought a bag of flour and even a small basket of round eggs.

Lin was frightened by all these things. She kept refusing to accept them and wanted them to take them back.

"Li Xiao is a smart boy. He helped our master a little. To thank him, our master arranged an easy job for him. Our lady and young lady are kind-hearted. Thinking that you and your son have a hard time, they specially called Miss Zisu to come and bring you all these good things..."

These were Zhang Dazhui's exact words at the time. Although Lin was somewhat curious about what kind of help her son could provide to the nobleman, she thought about it and decided not to ask any further questions.

Maybe this was the privacy of a wealthy family, and her repeated questioning made her son feel embarrassed.

You know, before the girl named Zi Su left, she stuffed a bulging purse into her hand. She counted the change in it several times and it was more than ten taels.

Zhang Dazhui also said that the job he found for Li Xiao this time was a good one. Although the salary was not much, he could learn a skill and help the government with work, which would be a good way to make a living in the future.

That's why Mrs. Lin made a lavish amount of white flour dumplings today, wanting to have a good meal with her son to celebrate.

If it were in the past, she would probably take out the white flour and pork and ask someone to exchange them for some sorghum flour and black flour to make do with.

After listening to Lin's words, Li Xiao finally understood what was going on and couldn't help but feel very grateful to the Xu family.

Mr. Xu was a gentle and kind person. Although he did not dare to look closely at Madam Xu and Miss Xu, just by taking a quick glance he could tell that they were both very beautiful and kind people.

They were not like the rich people he had met before. They did not look down on him because he was a poor boy. Instead, they were very considerate of him.

It's a pity that even such kind-hearted people are surrounded by evil people with wicked hearts who want to harm them. They are worse than animals.

Li Xiao thought about it and realized that Lin was not an outsider, and was certainly not one of those people who would talk nonsense outside, so he lowered his voice and told the story of the Xu family.

"This is really retribution. The wealth and honor were delivered to our doorstep, but those people insisted on pushing it away."

Lin was not too surprised to hear what her son said, but she felt a little gloating over the Xu family's misfortune. If they knew that their brother, who was pushed off the cliff by them and survived, had such an experience, they would regret it to death.

Good and evil will be rewarded in the end. Even if those people saw Mr. Xu now, they probably wouldn't dare to run over to recognize him, right?

Lin thought of her husband's relatives and couldn't help but sneer.

There are always some people who have no affection in their eyes and can only see money.

Sooner or later, maybe one day you will die because of money.

After the mother and son finished eating the dumplings, Li Xiao quickly asked Lin to sit aside and rest, while he quickly cleaned the stove.

"Mom, you don't know, that thing called a kang is simply amazing. We won't need to add so much firewood then..."

He helped Lin into the next room. Although it was already dark and there were no lights in the room, Li Xiao could still see the pile of things, including several brand new cotton coats and trousers, both of which were very thick.

And the two quilts are enough for the mother and daughter to spend the winter safely.

"Don't worry, son. I'm not seriously ill. Since Mr. Xu wants to find out about those evil people, I'll chat with the old ladies next door these days. As soon as I get any news, I'll pass it on to them."

Lin was no longer able to do any work, so she took the task upon herself.

This is of course very simple for her. Maybe she doesn't even need to leave the hospital, as the idle old ladies will come to her and chat with her.

"Thank you for your hard work, mother. When my son learns how to make a kang, we will build one for our family..."

Li Xiaoye thought of this and immediately smiled knowingly. He reminded her to wear the new cotton-padded jacket and not to let herself get frozen again.

"Don't worry, mother knows everything. Don't worry about these things at home. Just learn the craft from the master. You need to be more diligent. When you have nothing to do, help the master make tea or massage his back..."

Lin kept talking, and Li Xiaoze did not refute. Although he had never been to any school, he knew the rules of respecting teachers since he was a child.

The Xu family didn't know yet that they were being targeted, and now the whole family started quarreling again.

"Whether it's one thousand or ten thousand, the clothes were torn by you sisters, so you have to pay the compensation within ten days!"

Gao stood under the eaves with her hands on her hips, cursing at Xu Guihua inside.

But no matter how she jumped up and down and yelled, no one paid any attention to her.

Xu Taohua woke up last night, but maybe because the impact was too severe and so much blood was lost, she just opened her eyes and looked around, then fell into a deep sleep again.

So Xu Guihua naturally found an excuse and said firmly that she was here to take care of her sister. She could not do anything at home and left it all to Gao.
