It's hard for my elder sister. I rely on the mountains to farm and pay off my debts.

Mrs. Hu was already angry because the patriarch didn't call her.

Hearing his son crying again made him even more upset.

She picked up the broom on the ground and chased the child to hit him, cursing at him.

"Eat, eat, eat, all you do is eat. Haven't you seen the whole village bullying us, an orphan and a widow? We can't live like this..."

When Yingzi saw her brother being chased and beaten by her mother, she hurried forward to stop them, but she happened to become Hu's punching bag.

"Aren't you good friends with that girl Azhi? Go, beg her to let you make jelly too."

Yingzi just lowered her head and remained silent.

Seeing that his daughter was silent.

Mrs. Hu cursed even louder, "What's the point of raising you? Did I let you steal and rob?"

"Speak up, are you mute?"

While cursing, he was pushing and shoving with his hands.

The neighbors heard the noise but pretended not to hear anything.

Mr. Hu is a person who is very excited. The more you persuade him, the more excited he becomes.

Everyone ignored her, and when she got tired of cursing, it was over.

It's a pity for Yingzi, the child, to be born into such an unreliable mother's womb.

If she were more sensible, lived a more peaceful life, and did less behind-the-scenes stuff, who would still exclude her?

Otherwise, why would everyone deliberately stay away from her?

The Song family was unaware of this little farce in the village.

After all the villagers left, Mrs. Wu only told the children to eat first, and she led her daughter-in-law to start frying mung bean paste and making cakes.

This is also a slow and extremely labor-intensive project.

Fortunately, all three people in the family can make it now, and now Song Ping is here to help.

Everyone took turns, so it wasn't too tiring for a while.

When the first portion came out of the pot, Song Zhi used a mold to press three portions first, put them in small baskets, and asked Song An and Song Huan to deliver them to Song Guangfa and the Song clan leader's home respectively.

And tell him how to express gratitude when he arrives at someone's house.

The two children felt that they had been entrusted with an important task by their elder sister. They patted their chests and walked away happily with their baskets.

Song Zhi also went to Doctor Zheng's house with a piece of cake.

In addition to sending cakes to express her gratitude, she also wanted to buy some herbs to repel snakes and insects with Dr. Zheng.

Now the villagers help her go up the mountain to pick forsythia leaves, and she must ensure that safety issues are taken into consideration.

At this time, Dr. Zheng and his wife were watering and weeding the herbs in the yard.

When Doctor Zheng looked up, he saw Song Zhi standing outside the door with a basket.

Seeing that it was Song Zhi, he immediately called out, "Azhi is here, come in quickly, is there something wrong with your uncle's injury?"

Song Zhi walked into the yard and hurriedly explained, "No, no, I came to thank you. Thank you for saving my uncle today. I brought some cakes with me. Please keep them for yourself."

"By the way, I'll buy you some insect repellent powder.

"You too, why are you being so polite?" Doctor Zheng said.

Wang was also very happy to see Song Zhi.

She first turned around and called into the house twice, asking her granddaughter to bring some snake and insect repellent powder.

Then he walked towards Song Zhi and pulled her into the house. "Last time, you helped them sell medicine. I didn't have the chance to thank you properly. Now that you're home today, don't leave. Stay and have dinner before you leave."

Compared with their previous meeting, Wang's attitude towards Song Zhi was much warmer.

"Grandma Wang, you're too polite. If you want to thank me, I should thank you!"

Zheng Hui couldn't bear to listen to their chatter.

It seems to be very unfamiliar.

She walked forward and handed two bottles of medicine powder to Song Zhi, "Here, the medicine powder you asked for."

Song Zhi was taken aback for a moment, then took the bamboo tube and immediately took out a bunch of money from her pocket and asked, "How much does this medicine powder cost?"

Zheng Hui snorted coldly, "I won't sell it to you even if you pay me!" Then she stretched out her hand as if to take the bamboo tube from Song Zhi's hand.

Wang slapped her granddaughter's hand and glared at her, "Talk nicely, why are you being so rude?"

After Wang glared at her granddaughter, she smiled and said to Song Zhi, "She has a strange temper. Ah Zhi, don't get angry at her. Hui'er is trying to make friends with you and wants to give it to you."

Seeing that her grandmother didn't help her and even tried to sabotage her, Zheng Hui stamped her feet in shame and anger and said stubbornly, "Who wants to be with her? I just don't want to take other people's things for free."

After saying that, he hid in the house in shame and anger.

It was rare for Wang to see this side of her granddaughter, so she smiled and explained to Song Zhi, "Ahzhi, don't be offended, she's just like that.

"This snake and insect powder is made of common herbs and is not worth much. Take it back and use it."

"This is what you and Doctor Zheng eat. How can I take it for free?"

Wang patted Song Zhi's hand and said, "Next time, next time you come to buy it, we will charge you. This time, you can think of this medicine as a gift from Hui'er."

Song Zhi caught a glimpse of half of the clothing sticking out from the door out of the corner of her eye. She wanted to refuse, but she took it back.

She smiled and said, "In that case, thank you very much!"

After receiving the medicine powder, Song Zhi put down the cakes and hurriedly said goodbye and went back.

Wang was unable to persuade the man to stay, so she personally escorted him out the door. When she turned around, she saw her granddaughter standing in the yard.

Wang shook her head in amusement and didn't expose her.

The only close relative they have left is their granddaughter, so the old couple naturally hope that she can also make her own close friends.

Although the girl had acted somewhat unreliably before, after that accident, she not only changed her personality but also became a successful person.

It depends on what she is doing now. She can give up such a profitable business just like that.

Even ordinary men may not have such courage.

Wang was happy to see her granddaughter getting along with Song Zhi.

That night, Wang took the initiative to ask her husband if he had any news about their youngest son.

Doctor Zheng sighed and shook his head.

Three years have passed, and no one knows whether the youngest son is alive or dead.

At that time, the barbarian cavalry pursued them relentlessly and took pleasure in killing these panicked people.

In order to protect the two old people and the youngest, the youngest son had no choice but to take the initiative to cover their retreat, wipe out the traces left by them, and deliberately create confusion to lead the pursuers in another direction.

Before leaving, the father and son agreed to meet in Qishui County. If they could not make it, they would try their best to send a message to the Yongchang Escort Agency.

After Doctor Zheng and his family arrived in Qishui County, they stayed temporarily in an inn in the city.

They stayed there for nearly half a month, but there was no news from their son. In addition, the family had already fled and had spent a lot of money on the journey.

There was really no other way, so they chose to settle down in Xiaohezi Village, which was surrounded by mountains and rivers.

First of all, when the head of the Song clan heard that the other party was a doctor, he treated him with great courtesy.

Secondly, there are many mountains and medicinal herbs here, so Dr. Zheng and his family, who are really short of money, stayed here temporarily.

He stayed there for three years, and every month Doctor Zheng would go to the Yongchang Escort Agency to ask if there was any news from his son.

The result is predictable, all failed.

Wang also sighed, "Wait another six months. If there's still no news from Erlang, then we'll find a good home for Hui'er!"
