There was no other way, so Li Daniu returned home in a daze, groped his way to the bed and lay down.

In the dark night, Li Daniu couldn't fall asleep for a long time, but no one knew what he was thinking about.

The next morning, Li Daniu went to the door of the workshop early to guard it. As soon as the door opened, he rushed in first.

His face covered in blood frightened everyone, and many passers-by who wanted to go in to see the fun were stopped by Chang Bo.

Today Wu Sanmei was on duty in the afternoon, so she was not busy in the morning, so she helped Cheng Suying and the children cook and comb their hair.

We chatted and laughed along the way, which made the journey quite relaxing.

Suddenly, I heard a familiar yet unfamiliar voice shouting hoarsely, "Third sister, my child's mother."

Wu Sanmei looked up and saw Li Daniu's bloodstained face with scabs on his forehead.

He was startled, dropped the comb, jumped up, walked up to him, ruffled his hair, and asked:

"What happened to you? How did you end up like this? Where did you hit yourself? Why don't you go see a doctor and get it bandaged?"

Hearing his not-so-gentle wife still yelling, Li Daniu felt a little sour in his nose.

Li Daniu lowered his head to avoid Wu Sanmei's touch, wiped his tears, and said that he felt he had let his wife down yesterday, so he had to suffer himself so that Sanmei could see his heart.

After hearing this, Wu Sanmei couldn't help but feel a little softer.

When Cheng Suying saw this, she quickly pulled Li Daniu over to treat his injury.

After washing the wound with clean water, I found that it was just a little skin abrasion. Although it looked scary, it was not serious.

Wu Sanmei slapped Li Daniu on the broad back and cried:

"You, just know that I'm in pain. Why hurt yourself again? I'll see that Madam Cheng has to spend a lot of time to treat your injury."

Cheng Suying found it funny and knew that she was planning to go home with Li Daniu, so she didn't say much.

Cheng Suying prescribed some medicine and gave it to Wu Sanmei. Wu Sanmei took out some silver money to pay, which made Li Daniu feel distressed.

"It's just a minor injury. Why spend money on medicine? Just go home and rest for two days and it will be fine."

Cheng Suying looked up and glanced at him, smiling and saying, "This is not for you. If you don't take good care of the injury on Third Sister's head, I'm afraid it will cost more in the future."

Li Daniu stopped talking at this point, but looking at the look in his eyes, he still felt heartbroken.

Cheng Suying glanced at Wu Sanmei and saw her talking to Li Daniu about this and that, goingssip over and over again.

I guess this is the first time in so many years that they have had a quarrel and Li Daniu has come to pick her up, and he is going to experience the pain that she has experienced himself.

If she knew that Li Daniu still didn't have her in his heart...

That's it.

Cheng Suying shook her head secretly.

Why bother to burst other people's sweet dreams? Even if the dream ends one day, the happiness in the dream is enough to comfort the tired soul.

Cheng Suying invited the family to have breakfast.

Li Daniu, who had been hungry all day yesterday, wolfed down his first breakfast like a whirlwind.

Cheng Suying and her daughter were stunned.

Wu Sanmei felt embarrassed and tried to poke Li Daniu secretly, but he turned his back and ignored her.

"When did we ever have breakfast? It's so filling. Look at this steamed bun made of mixed flour. How could we make it so big?"

Li Daniu kept mumbling while eating.

Wu Sanmei could only laugh along and made up her mind that in the future she would spare no effort to earn money so that her family could have three meals a day, and every meal would be filled with such solid steamed buns.

After breakfast, Wu Sanmei, Li Daniu and the children went home and did not come to work until after noon.

Seeing that she was in high spirits and chatting happily, Cheng Suying felt relieved.

Her husband died early, and she didn't know how to be a proper couple, but she couldn't break up Wu Sanmei's family according to her own ideas.

Not to mention anything else, Wu Sanmei has three children. Even if she doesn't eat or drink, renting a house and buying food and drink will still be a huge expense.

Now he and his wife are reconciled, and both of them earn money. Even if life is temporarily difficult, as long as they live frugally, they will get through that day.

Cheng Suying also told Du Wenchan about Wu Sanmei's return home, and Du Wenchan naturally praised her for doing a good job.

"This way, with the two of us guarding the workshop, sister should feel more at ease."

"Summer is approaching and Madam Du is getting further and further pregnant. There are some things we can handle, so we should not bother her."

Cheng Suying chatted with Du Wenchan, and Du Wenchan responded with a smile.

After chatting for a while and settling the matters in the workshop, Du Wenxiu returned home.

"Why did you come back so early today?" A'luo, who was busy in the yard, couldn't help but wonder when he saw her.

"My aunt hadn't seen me all day, and when she saw me the last time, she complained that I came back too early. She was afraid that she would think I had done something only when I collapsed in the workshop from exhaustion."

Du Wenchan went up to help hang up the clothes, but she was very eloquent.

A Luo didn't know whether to laugh or cry. This kid had become more and more unforgiving with his words since he went to the workshop to help.

"You've been leaving early and coming back late lately, so I thought the workshop was busy. When I saw you come back out of the blue, I thought something had happened in the workshop."

Du Wenchan smiled slightly, turned around and went into the kitchen.

"It's a bit early to light the fire and cook now." A Luo followed her in, thinking about what she was going to do so that he could help.

"Today, Sister Cheng gave me some spring chives. I brought them back to make noodles for myself."

"Since we have spring chives, we might as well make some dumplings." Du Wenxiu's clear voice came from the yard.

Du Wenchan leaned out, looked at her and said with a smile: "Sister is taking a nap. Since Sister wants to eat dumplings, let's make them for her."

Du Wenxiu ducked into the kitchen, making the already small space even more crowded, not to mention her growing belly.

"Instead of crowding in here, why not go outside and pick spring chives? If you need anything, just tell me to do it."

The two of them were driven out laughing.

Du Wenchan sat by the well picking vegetables, while Du Wenxiu sat on a small chair in front of the kitchen door and told A Luo what to prepare.

"Please, Auntie, boil the vermicelli until soft and chop it into small pieces. Then, fry three or two eggs and cut them into the same size as the vermicelli. Then, knead the dough."

A Luo did as he was told. Du Wenchan washed the leeks and chopped them according to Du Wenxiu's instructions.

Mix spring chives, vermicelli and minced eggs together, add appropriate amount of salt, pepper, sesame oil and other seasonings, and the filling is ready.

After A'luo kneaded the dough, Du Wenchan took over the job of rolling the dough, while Du Wenxiu and A'luo were responsible for wrapping it.

While wrapping dumplings and chatting, Du Wenchan told Du Wenxiu the story of Wu Sanmei.

Ah Luo sighed repeatedly after hearing this: "It has always been said that women are born to regard their husbands as their heaven, and they cannot refute it at all. They should be respectful and humble, and work like a cow and a horse for the family."

"But no one told me what I should do when the eldest wife wanted to sell me for money. If it weren't for you sisters, I would have been among the bodies in the mass grave..."
