Mrs. Lu was thin and frail, and the slap took all her strength. She couldn't stand and fell to the ground.

"Ah wu wu wu..."

She hit her little grandson.

Chen Baoer pouted in pain, tears streaming down his face. His mother held him up and said, "It hurts, huhu."

Sun Mei was so distressed that she hugged her son and cursed, "You blind old woman, are you crazy? You are suppressing Bao'er. The Chen family will be extinct!"

"I didn't mean to do that. I didn't see Bao'er behind me..." Mrs. Lu stood up quickly. Her face hurt so much and her heart was panicking. She couldn't see, so she anxiously reached out her hand, trying to coax her precious grandson.

"roll!"

"You want to harm my son? Don't even think about it! Bao'er, this blind old woman is not good to you. Don't call her grandma anymore. Do you hear me? If you listen to me, I will buy you some candy."

Sun Mei pushed her away and yelled.

Chen Baoer wiped her tears and asked with sobs, "If not grandma, what should I call her?"

"Call her the blind old woman!" Sun Mei said without hesitation, "Tell her to go away, and I'll buy you some candy."

Chen Baoer lowered his head and hesitated for a long time. He looked at his mother's face and remembered the candies that could only be eaten during the Chinese New Year. He shouted, "Get out, you blind old woman! I want my mother to buy me candies."

Mrs. Lu's breath was choked. The words "blind old woman" and "get out" made her whole body tense. She couldn't believe it.

"Bao'er, is grandma not nice to you?"

"Okay! But Bao'er wants to eat candy~" Chen Bao'er lowered her head. In her little head, she knew it was not nice to say that to her grandma, but... "Blind old woman, don't you love me? Then if I tell you to get out, just get out. I want candy!"

He twirled his legs.

Chen Wu couldn't stand it anymore, so he helped Lu up, touched his nose, and smiled awkwardly: "Mom, the child is just joking, why don't you go out first?"

Hear this.

Lu limped out. She had walked through this house countless times, but she had never felt as cold-hearted as she did now. She bumped into things but didn't hide. She just left the house and walked towards the mountains...

Chen Wu lay on the bed irritably and complained.

"Why did you scold her?"

"If you want to be filial, then go out and work to earn money to support your son. There's an extra mouth to feed for no reason. Doesn't that cost money? I owe you one thousand taels. What should I do?" Sun Mei sat on the bed, hugged her son and cried, "Can you let me live? Why is my life so miserable?"

Chen Wuteng sat up suddenly.

He kicked her to the ground, "You deserve it! Did I force you to sign this contract? If you had treated Jiusu well, you wouldn't have owed me a thousand taels. You would have earned enough for it a long time ago. If you keep yelling, get out of here and stay away!"

Sun Mei looked back sadly and wiped her tears with her sleeves.

"At that time, I saw that your brother was a hunter..."

"Then why don't you marry him?" Chen Wu was furious. He got off the bed and beat the woman out. The more he thought about it, the angrier he got. He smashed the house to pieces. He couldn't compare to Chen Zhao? Yes, he couldn't compare to him. So what? "You stinky bitch, if you dare to say I can't compare to Chen Zhao again, I'll kill you."

Sun Mei gritted her teeth and took her son back to her parents' home.

at the foot of the mountain.

Jiusu is picking okra. This should be the last batch, so he wants to pick more this time.

It's not a big deal to have someone following you.

After all, that person knows nothing. Even if you recreate the method of "drying" okra in front of him one by one, he still can't imitate it.

Qian Junjie frowned and said dissatisfiedly, "What's that look in your eyes? Are you looking down on me? I don't look down on you at all. You picked this kind of green stuff at the foot of the mountain. How much money can it be worth if you sell it? No wonder you are a country woman. Why don't you kneel on the ground and call me brother a few times? Maybe I can reward you with a few taels of silver."

He crossed his arms over his chest, a provocative look in his eyes, and stamped his feet on the ground, as if waiting for Jiusu to kneel down.

"Oh, you are not a country woman, you are a noble man from a wealthy family. So, may I ask what this thing is, Mr. Qian?" Jiusu picked up the okra and asked with raised eyebrows.

Qian Junjie said disdainfully: "Isn't it just okra? Its leaves are eaten by inferior people. This young master wants to vomit after taking a bite."

Jiusu asked again: "Then do you know its use?"

"Use? Isn't it just for eating?" Qian Junjie put down his hands and let them hang naturally on both sides. He frowned slightly, as if he was confused. What else can it be used for besides eating? "You don't even know this, do you?"

Jiusu picked okra and smiled faintly.

"There is more than one way to take it. Besides, it is also a medicinal herb. It can relieve sore throat, relieve stranguria, promote lactation, and regulate menstruation... How come Mr. Qian doesn't know this?"

"I, I'm not studying medicine." Qian Junjie was humiliated again and again by these few words. His face turned red and he looked away.

Jiusu's hand paused.

She said in a deep voice, "What has Mr. Qian achieved in his life? He can't save people, he can only hurt people. Are you happy to be scolded? You don't have to be angry in a hurry. After all, you have nothing, there is nothing to be angry about."

Qian Junjie's eyes widened. He had been scolded and complimented before, but no one had ever told him this.

That feeling of ridicule and indifference filled his heart.

He held back his anger and said, "Aren't you the teacher my father hired? If you know how to do it, you can teach me."

"Pick okra." Jiusu handed the bamboo basket to Qian Junjie. "It's such a simple thing, you should be able to do it, right?"

Qian Junjie looked up, snatched the bamboo basket, and plucked okra like crazy, like an okra crusher, as if to vent his anger. His tone was quick and firm, "Of course I will, but if I pick okra, will others like me?"

Jiusu sat on a rock to rest, watching him busying around. He soon picked a basket full of fruits, and then handed him another basket.

"No one likes you for no reason, except your parents."

Qian Junjie muttered to himself, then filled another basket. Looking at the empty basket in Jiusu's hand, he became deflated and shouted to the sky, "How many baskets did you bring?"

"There are three more." Jiusu pointed at the stacked bamboo baskets, smiled politely, and clenched his fists, "Come on."

Qian Junjie picked more and walked up the mountain. He actually fell in love with this feeling of exhaustion and fulfillment. It was happier than lying at home. Thinking of this, he shook his head suddenly, slapped his face lightly, and murmured: "Qian Junjie, are you sick?"

Suddenly, a voice came to my ear.

His back stiffened and cold sweat broke out. What could be on this mountain? Of course it must be a ferocious beast. No, it couldn't be a tiger or something like that, right?

Qian Junjie took a deep breath, turned around quickly, raised the basket above his head, but saw an old man fell down and seemed to have difficulty getting up. He turned and left, but Jiusu's words echoed in his mind.

"You can't save people, you can only hurt people, do you feel happy when people scold you?"

Are you happy? Not happy!

He rolled up his sleeves and walked towards the old woman. When he got closer, he found that it was the blind old woman. Humph, today, I have to save her!

"Aren't you Jiusu's mother-in-law? Where are you going?"

"Oh." Mrs. Lu retracted her hand, rejecting his kindness. She staggered to her feet and said, "I'll go to the back mountain."

Qian Junjie scratched his head, "What are you going to do in the back mountain?"

Lu spoke calmly, took a deep breath, and continued to crawl and roll forward.

"Go to hell."

"Go to hell." Qian Junjie was so confused while picking okra that he repeated it. He finally realized what was happening after seeing her resolute back. "Go to hell??? You're crazy! Let's go find Jiusu!"
