Farmhouse life after traveling back to ancient times

What a sensible child.

Du Wenxiu couldn't help but admire again.

At this time, Cheng Suying came in with a tea bowl, and seeing that she had sat up, she smiled and said:

"I just said that this medicinal tea should be drunk while it's hot. I was still hesitating whether to wake you up, but you woke up anyway."

Du Wenxiu took it with both hands and smiled:

"Maybe it was because I slept so deeply that I felt refreshed after a while."

"It is like this. When Yang comes out of Yin, one becomes enlightened. When Yang goes into Yin, one becomes asleep. If one sleeps well, one will have fewer illnesses."

Cheng Suying sat down and examined Du Wenxiu's face.

"You look fine. In the future, you should stop running back and forth for things like this. Your belly is getting bigger and bigger, so you have to be careful."

Cheng Suying said with great concern, but when Du Wenxiu didn't respond, she looked up at her in confusion.

Du Wenxiu was lost in thought while holding a cup of medicinal tea. When he saw her looking at him, he burst out laughing.

"If I hadn't come today, how would you have ended this matter?"

"Ah." Cheng Suying sighed. "You are so old, but you still do things that are disrespectful to your elders."

"If you hadn't come, she would have hurt my little sister, and the child would have started crying. I would have thrown a tantrum and beaten her up."

"Oh, I don't believe what you said." Du Wenxiu smiled and joked, "You usually don't speak loudly, how could you have the heart to hit someone?"

"If people are pushed into a corner, they can do anything." Cheng Suying ignored her teasing and said seriously.

"I didn't abandon my little sister despite all the tortures I endured back then. Now that life is better, they come back to snatch my child. It's simply because they heard that I'm no longer a burden and can earn money to support the family, so they want to take advantage of us."

Seeing that she was clear-headed and understood everything, Du Wenxiu said no more and just took sips of the medicinal tea.

"They took my little sister away, so they can use this as an excuse to get me to give them money. But I also see clearly that people's hearts are never satisfied."

"Even if my little sister is their granddaughter, they will not treat her well if they take her back. They will just keep her as a cash cow, as long as she doesn't starve to death."

"When the child grows up, I can sell her anywhere. I didn't raise her, so what can I say?"

Cheng Suying couldn't help shedding tears as she spoke, and gently stroked Cheng Xiaomei's neatly combed bun.

Cheng Xiaomei looked up at her mother, stood on tiptoe and raised a handkerchief to touch her mother's face, wanting to wipe away her tears.

Cheng Suying took the child's hand and looked at Du Wenxiu.

"I want to thank Madam Du for giving my mother and I a place to stay and earning some money. Cheng Suying will never forget the kindness that Wen Yue Fang has shown me."

"That's also because of your own ability." Du Wenxiu finished drinking the medicinal tea, put the tea bowl on the table beside him, and wiped his mouth with a handkerchief.

"In the end, it's up to you to do your best. If you want to go with them, no one can stop you. If you promise me to go with them, who will stop you?"

"Everything you get is earned by your own ability. Even if I don't provide a place for you to stay, with your ability, you can grab the opportunity as long as you reach out your hand."

"Besides, I'm not supporting you for nothing, am I?" Du Wenxiu said this quietly, then turned over and got out of bed.

Cheng Suying hurried forward to help him and said softly, "I thought the same thing before I met Madam Du."

"But you see, even though I have all the skills, I am still dying of anxiety over a jar of brine, right?"

"Madam Du, although Cheng Suying was born in a poor family, she has also read some teachings of sages because of her medical studies."

"As the ancients said, there are many good horses, but few good horse trainers. Even if I have the talent of a good horse, if no one values ​​me, I will only be able to travel with others."

"It's hard to say. It's hard to even survive, let alone raise a daughter. Madam Du, I know everything and I remember it all in my heart."

Walking out, Du Wenxiu stopped, stroked Cheng Suying's hand, and smiled slightly:

"You and I are both women, and there are many women in our workshop. In this cannibalistic world, if we don't help each other, who can we expect to help us?"

"Please stay for a while. I'm leaving now. Live a good life with your child. If you have any difficulties, come to me."

"You get what you earn."

Watching Du Wenxiu's gradually receding back, Cheng Suying's eyes became more determined.

She knows her heart, and she knows what needs to be said, and he will remember her words.

From that day on, the women working in the workshop had more smiles in their eyes than before.

According to unreliable gossip, although Wu Sanmei looks strong, she is severely bullied in her husband's family.

Her husband despised her for only being able to raise three worthless girls and not giving birth to a male child, and he always ignored her.

Wu Sanmei was afraid that she would be divorced and have nowhere to go, so she had to swallow her anger often.

Once again, her husband, who worked odd jobs at the dock, had not earned any money all day, and when he came home he wanted her to use her wages to buy wine and food for him. After Wu Sanmei refused, he picked up a broken bench from the corner and smashed her head with it, leaving a bloody mess.

But the man didn't take it seriously. He took out the silver and money she had hidden, stepped over Wu Sanmei who was lying on the ground bleeding, and went out to have some fun.

Only three young daughters lay on Wu Sanmei's body and cried incessantly.

Zhao Daju, a neighbor who also worked in the workshop, came over to check and was shocked to see what was happening.

He hurriedly asked someone to carry her to the workshop pharmacy.

Because of her serious injuries, Cheng Suying took great pains to save her life.

Wu Sanmei just woke up and struggled to go back, but was stopped by Cheng Suying.

Wu Sanmei was very worried and cried to Cheng Suying: "If I don't go back, I'm afraid he won't even let us mother and daughter into his house in the future."

Cheng Suying could not help but advise: "If you go back now, he will beat you again, and I can't guarantee that I can save you. By then, your three daughters will be without a mother."

"What kind of life does a child without a mother have? You can imagine it yourself."

After saying that, he ignored her.

Wu Sanmei, who was such a big person, curled up in one place and cried for a while, looking at her daughter, whose frame was as big as hers but who was so thin that her bones were visible.

Think again about that heartless man who is now taking the money he earned through hard work and instead is enjoying himself in some comfortable place.

After thinking for a while, she finally came to her senses and came over to ask Cheng Suying if she could take in her and her four daughters for a few days.

"If Madam Cheng is kind enough to allow my mother and I to have a place to stay, I will move out as soon as I find a place to live."

Wu Sanmei hesitated for a moment and then said anxiously:

"I have some money I earn from work every day, and I keep it in a reliable place. I have enough money to rent a house. Madam Cheng, don't worry that I will rely on you."

Cheng Suying was so angry at what she said that she said, "If I was afraid that you would stay, why would I have advised you not to go back?"

How funny.
