The sister-in-law was wrong, please forgive her, my black-bellied brother-in-law

Hearing this, Qiao Xi obediently stretched out her hand.

A quarter of an hour later, Xiao Yushan withdrew his hand.

"how?"

Qiao Qian and Shen Qingyan asked almost at the same time.

However, Qiao Xi knew that Shen Qingyan was not concerned about her, but wanted to find a way to save Xu Yi through his own situation.

Xiao Yushan glanced at the two of them, then rested his chin on his hand and said, "It's the same as last time, nothing unusual. But, they both took the same medicine, so logically speaking, this shouldn't be the case.

Please be quiet for a moment and let me think about it."

Seeing him lost in thought, Qiao Xi and Shen Qingyan fell silent.

I don't know what he was thinking about, but Qiao Xi took advantage of this opportunity and hurried out to Sister Liu Lan's house next door.

The door in front of me was slowly opened from the inside, and the person who opened the door was Liu Lan.

"Sister Lan, have you had lunch?"

Qiao Xi asked softly with a faint smile.

"I have already finished my dinner. It's already late. If you had come a little later, I would have finished my dinner."

Liu Lan smiled back at her, but after just two laughs, she seemed to suddenly remember something and whispered, "Sister-in-law had some work at home, so she didn't go to see you today. Is Xu Yi feeling better?"

Hearing this, the smile on Qiao Xi's face disappeared instantly, her eyelashes drooped slightly, and her mood was depressed: "He hasn't woken up yet."

"Have you asked a doctor to see you?" Seeing her like this, Liu Lan put away the smile on her face and frowned, asking with concern.

"I've seen it, but the doctor can't explain it at the moment." Qiao Xi told the truth, and then she saw Liu Lan carrying a basket in her arms, which was covered with hand-woven bamboo. Judging from her clothes, she looked like she was going out.

She said casually, "Sister Lan, are you going out to visit someone?"

Liu Lan lowered her head and saw the basket in her arms, a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth: "No, I just finished lunch, and suddenly I thought about you taking care of Xu Yi, I wonder if you have time to cook.

Sister-in-law, I happen to have some free time right now, so I thought of going to your place to see if there is anything I can help with.

This basket contains some leftover fresh vegetables and a few eggs from our chickens today. You can boil or stew them for Xu Yi to nourish him. Maybe he'll get better soon."

Upon hearing this, Qiao Xi hurriedly thanked him.

"Um, sister-in-law, um, I, I——"

Qiao Xi originally wanted to borrow vegetables and seeds, but when she saw Sister Liu Lan delivering vegetables and eggs, she felt embarrassed to ask again.

You know, for a family like theirs, it's good enough to have some vegetables to eat. As for meat, they can only eat it once or twice a year.

Eggs are not often eaten in families like theirs because they need to exchange them for money to supplement the family income.

But Xu Yi couldn't eat meat right now, and he had lost too much blood, so he needed something nutritious. She would just consider this egg a loan from her sister-in-law for now.

Liu Lan rarely saw Qiao Xi hesitating. Thinking that she was a widow and had to take care of the injured Xu Yi, she was afraid that she had encountered some difficulties. She wanted her to help, but she didn't know how to say it.

Thinking of this, Liu Lan smiled and patted Qiao Xi's arm, saying softly, "Hey, sister Xi, if you have anything to say or need your sister-in-law to do, just tell me directly.

If your sister-in-law can help, she will definitely do her best. If she can't, I will ask your eldest brother to help us find a solution.

You must never treat your sister-in-law as an outsider."

Hearing this, Qiao Xi secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She pursed her lips and said a little embarrassedly, "Sister-in-law, I want to ask if you have any vegetable seeds or something at home. I want to open up some land at the foot of the mountain behind and grow some vegetables. I don't need much, just enough for Xu Yi and I to eat."

After she finished speaking, she looked up at Liu Lan's reaction, thinking that if it made her embarrassed, she would ask the villagers to buy some back from Lingxiao City.

After all, this world is different from her original world. The seeds are collected little by little by farmers, and some seeds even have to be purchased from the imperial court.

So a seemingly small seed may be as rare as an egg.

Unexpectedly, Liu Lan heard her words and burst out laughing, saying, "Hey! Sister-in-law, I thought it was a big favor.

You've come at the right time. I just harvested some seeds from the vegetable garden, and I think they'll be just enough for you. Wait, I'll get them for you."

After saying that, Liu Lan handed the basket in her arm to Qiao Xi, then turned and went into the yard.

After a while, Qiao Xi saw Liu Lan coming out with something in her hand.

Liu Lan opened her hand, and in her palm lay a grass leaf package, which must have contained vegetable seeds.

Seeing that Qiao Xi was staring at the vegetable seeds in her hand without any intention of taking them, Liu Lan smiled, grabbed her hand, and put the vegetable seeds in her palm.

"There are two kinds of vegetable seeds here, one is sunflower seeds, and the other is cabbage seeds. Both of these seeds can be planted at any time."

Ever since Qiao Xi married into the Xu family, Liu Lan had never seen her do any work. Besides, her family had no land, so they couldn't farm even if they wanted to.

If she wasn't told, she probably wouldn't be able to tell what the vegetable was or how to grow it from the seeds.

So Liu Lan took her arm and walked towards her home, explaining to her in detail how to plant the vegetable seeds.

Qiao Xi was very grateful for Liu Lan's attentiveness.

Because in her world, she only focused on research and really knew very little about these plants.

She also searched the original owner's memory and found that the original owner knew almost the same thing as her.

Before the two of them could finish their conversation, they arrived at Qiao Xi's door.

Thinking that there were other people in the yard and that she had to keep it a secret from Liu Lichun, Qiao Xi had to politely decline Liu Lan's offer to help her cook.

After watching Liu Lan leave, Qiao Xi carried the basket into the yard and immediately closed the door after entering.

It’s not for any other reason, but mainly because the people in the yard are too conspicuous.

Especially since Zhang Quan was still kneeling, if he was seen by those in the village who were not careful with their mouths, who knows what would be spread.

It’s okay for her, but it would be bad if it ruined Xu Yi’s reputation.

Before entering the kitchen, Qiao Xi looked at the people in the yard and asked who had not had lunch yet.

She had been thinking that it would be awkward for them to eat with these people watching, but as soon as she finished speaking, Zhang Quan, whose face was as thick as a city wall, was the first to say that he wanted to eat too.

Qiao Xi rolled her eyes at him and said coldly, "What are you eating? My family only has food for others, not for you."

After saying that, she looked at Liu Huilin and others.

Coincidentally, Liu Huilin also looked at her at this time. Their eyes met in the air and they looked at each other. Finally, Liu Huilin looked away first.

Seeing his slightly embarrassed look, Qiao Xi thought he hadn't eaten, but was too embarrassed to say it.

After all, he was the elder, and it was his daughter who was wrong, not him. She smiled faintly and took the initiative to speak: "Uncle Liu, have you had lunch?"

Liu Huilin didn't expect that she would still be willing to call him "Uncle" under such circumstances, so he doubted his ears when he heard it.

Qiao Xi didn't wait for his answer, but waited for Liu Datong's answer first.

"Don't worry, we already ate when we got here."

I don’t know if he was blaming Qiao Xi for being unreasonable to his sister Liu Lichun, but his tone was a little sarcastic.

"Datong!" Liu Huilin knew his son best. He could hear the resentment in his son's voice and couldn't help but warn him.

Seeing that Liu Huilin was angry, Liu Datong shut up and turned his head to the side.

"Well, Xu Taijia, I know this may be a bit unreasonable, but as Lichun's sister-in-law, could you please put in a few good words for Lichun in front of that gentleman and ask those who are beating him to be less harsh?"
