As soon as Xu Manyue arrived home, Sister Shen came over and whispered, "Third sister-in-law, mother is in a bad mood right now, please don't get close to her."

"Today my mother was furious. She was mad at everyone. I didn't do anything, but she still scolded me several times. I felt so wronged."

Speaking of this, Mrs. Shen couldn't help but complain, "Mother has always loved Xiaoshan, but today she even disliked Xiaoshan."

"All of this was caused by the second son and his wife."

Xu Manyue was stunned for a moment and asked, "Why is mother angry?"

Mrs. Shen curled her lips. "What else could it be, besides the matter of the child? Wang Xiancao came to visit again today, and Mother saw that her belly had grown bigger. She wanted to resolve the matter as soon as possible, so she called the second son and his wife over."

"But Lin Luoxia didn't seem to care about it at all. She left after just a few minutes, saying she was going to deal with some conflicts among the women in the brigade."

"After she left, mother was furious and scolded the second son for the entire afternoon. Later, Wang Xiancao came to our house again, and mother told us not to open the door and locked her out. She also told the second son to deal with the matter properly and, if all else fails, just marry her back."

Xu Manyue was silent for a moment. No wonder Wang Xiancao suddenly came to her and spoke in front of the old lady. It was probably because of this matter.

"By the way, sister-in-law, didn't you and mother plan to go to the county town to see Jianping today? Why didn't you go?" She suddenly remembered this again.

According to the two of them walking back and forth, plus the time they stayed in the county town, it would take them at least eight or nine o'clock in the evening to get back, and it was only five or six o'clock in the afternoon now.

Mrs. Shen touched the tip of her nose and said uncomfortably, "I wanted to go with my mother, but the road is too difficult to walk on. It's so far to the county town, and it would be dark by the time we got there and back."

"So I told a little lie and told my mother that I wasn't feeling well today."

Xu Manyue glanced at her and guessed why this person was scolded today.

With her acting skills, the old lady could see through her little thoughts in every minute. She was already angry, so how could she not be scolded?

"Third sister-in-law, please don't tell mother. I have only told you about this." Mrs. Shen looked at Xu Manyue eagerly.

If my mother-in-law knew about this, she would definitely roll her eyes at me again.

Xu Manyue smiled faintly, "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone."

Inside the house, the old lady heard Xu Manyue's voice and called her in.

When she went in, she saw the old lady rubbing her head with her hand, her face looking very unhappy. "Third son's wife, please help me write a letter to the fourth son."

Xu Manyue was stunned for a moment, "Mom, you don't plan to go to the city to see the fourth child?"

It was obvious that two days ago, the old lady missed her son very much. She packed her things, prepared some food, and wanted to take two rabbits to the city to treat the fourth son.

The old lady sighed and waved her hand, "Forget it. Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. Being an apprentice is not that easy. The fourth son must be exhausted. I came all the way from the countryside."

"It won't help much, and it might even disturb his work."

"Just write a letter for your mother." Nothing could be better than giving him more money and tickets.

In that city, everything required money and tickets. Apprentices had basically no salary, and even if they did get some, it was all spent on food.

Xu Manyue also felt that the old lady was right, so she nodded and said, "Mom, I'll go back to the room to get paper and pen, and I'll be back soon to help you write the letter."

The old lady read a sentence, and Xu Manyue lowered her head and wrote a sentence.

Soon the letter was finished, and the old lady's eyes were slightly red.

From childhood to adulthood, except for the third son who was often not with her, she could basically see the other sons every day.

The fourth brother went to the city all of a sudden, and we hadn't seen each other for a month or so. I missed him very much.

Oh, I don’t know how he is doing in the city. Has he become thin due to hunger?

Xu Manyue handed the written letter to the old lady, "Mom, it's done."

The old lady took the letter and waved her hand, "Okay, dinner will be served soon, you can go out first."

After Xu Manyue came out of the old lady's room, she happened to meet Lin Luoxia who had just returned. Neither of them spoke. Mrs. Shen had just finished cooking in the kitchen and called out to the outside.

"It's time to eat, it's time to eat."

Mr. Shen and Mr. Shen went to work, so as the person who cooked today, Mrs. Shen had to deliver meals to them.

Today I still had cornmeal porridge and sweet potatoes. I eat rabbit meat two or three times a week, but no matter how delicious rabbit meat is, I get sick of it if I eat too much.

After dinner, just as Xu Manyue was about to go back to the house, someone suddenly knocked on the door.

She walked over to open the door and was stunned when she saw the person coming. "Brother Wei Min, what happened?"

Xu Weimin's forehead was covered with sweat. He wiped the sweat off his face and asked hurriedly, "Man Yue, do you have a cart at home?"

Xu Manyue nodded quickly, "Yes, Brother Weimin, come with me."

"What happened?"

Xu Weimin is the second son of her second uncle, a few months older than her.

"Today my father went up the mountain and accidentally fell and broke his leg. When we found him, he was completely unconscious and his leg was covered in blood."

There was worry in Xu Weimin's eyes.

"There is no clinic in our brigade now, so we can only send people to the commune clinic first."

Xu Manyue became anxious when she heard this. "What? Second uncle broke his leg?"

"Is it serious? I have some anti-inflammatory and hemostatic herbs that might be helpful."

Xu Weimin became excited. "Really, Man Yue, you have these herbs?"

If we send him to the clinic in the commune now, it will take too long and even if he is cured, there will be serious hidden dangers.

It would be best if you can reduce inflammation and stop bleeding in advance and treat the wound.

"Okay, I'll get it for you right away." Xu Manyue nodded and hurried back into the house.

The ancestor of the Xu family was a doctor who knew medicine, and there were many medical books at home, but the only person in the entire Xu family who knew anything about medicine was Old Man Xu.

Xu Manyue also knows some basic herbal medicine and can treat some minor illnesses.

Therefore, Xu Weimin trusted her very much.

Soon, Xu Manyue ran out with some hemostatic and anti-inflammatory herbs exchanged from the system and handed them to Xu Weimin.

"Brother Weimin, you should know how to use them. Give these herbs to Second Uncle first, and then send him directly to the county hospital."

"Many medical facilities at the commune clinics are inadequate. It's better to go to a hospital in the county to avoid any problems."

Xu Weimin nodded. Just as he was about to leave, Xu Manyue took out another ten yuan from her pocket and stuffed a few food coupons into his pocket.

"You can use these first. The city is not like our country. You need money and tickets everywhere."

"No need for money, I have it at home. I'll take the ticket." Xu Wei was very touched, but he didn't ask for money, he just asked for the ticket.
