The next day, everyone slept until the rooster crowed three times before getting up.
Lin Shuyun opened her eyes; there was no one beside her, so she guessed they had gone to the outhouse.
She stretched and came out of the house, and saw wisps of smoke rising from the kitchen chimney.
"Did the old man get up early this morning to cook?"
As Lin Shuyun spoke, she stepped into the kitchen and saw Jiang Changtian supporting himself with a cane while stirring the pot with one hand.
Lin Shuyun was stunned for a moment.
"Get up, it's time to eat."
Jiang Changtian turned around and spoke naturally.
It feels like an old married couple, on an ordinary morning, the husband says to his wife, "Get up, it's time to eat."
Lin Shuyun shook her head and leaned closer. "Husband, did you make this porridge?"
The rice was brought by them when they came yesterday; there was no food at home.
"Hmm, you look too tired. My cooking might not be very good." Jiang Changtian lowered his eyes.
Lin Shuyun felt that these eyelashes were longer than her life.
"Husband, what's wrong with your face?"
She woke up late this morning and didn't draw the wounds on his face. Did she draw them herself?
Jiang Changtian pursed his lips, "After seeing you draw so many times, I can draw myself now."
"Wow—husband, you're getting more and more amazing! You learn everything so quickly. Your porridge must be delicious..."
Jiang Changtian blushed amidst the flattery, then mixed another side dish, his lips involuntarily curving into a smile.
Lin Shuyun took a sip of the porridge and side dishes after they were served.
Uh……
I wonder why some people can cook plain porridge and make it taste like swill.
"Is it tasty?"
Jiang Changtian looked at Lin Shuyun, and upon closer inspection, he could see the little expectation in her eyes.
"It tastes so good, my husband, you're amazing."
Since it was their first time cooking, they deserve some praise and recognition.
Lin Shuyun picked up the porridge and slurped it all down in a few mouthfuls.
Then he got up and said, "There's another patient inside; I'll go and bring them a bowl."
What a joke! There's still half a pot left. If we don't leave now, she'll have to drink another bowl.
Jiang Changtian's lips curled up in a smile.
Old Xu looked at the porridge in front of him and snorted inwardly. Young people are so fussy. It's just plain white porridge, nothing special.
As a result, his face turned green after taking a sip.
With a sense of shame about wasting food, he swallowed it down and said leisurely, "Son-in-law, well done. Don't do it again next time."
Coal Ball didn't hold back and immediately launched into taunts: "Pah! Pah! Pah! What is this? You cripple, are you feeding it to pigs?! Even pigs won't eat it, how come Shu Yun is saying it's delicious with her eyes wide open!"
Jiang Changtian glared at the coal ball, took a sip, and immediately spat it out.
Then he stared blankly at the empty bowl where Lin Shuyun had just been sitting.
It tastes awful, and she just ate it...
Lin Shuyun brought a bowl of porridge to the little girl in the room.
I don't know her name, so I'll just call her Xiao Hong for now since she's wearing red.
This time, as soon as Little Red Girl saw her come in, she sat up.
"You have the strength now?"
Lin Shuyun handed her the porridge.
As soon as she finished speaking, Little Red Girl plopped down on the bed again.
Lin Shuyun: ...
Then he helped the little girl up, saying, "Come on, eat something and you'll have the strength."
Xiao Hong nodded and gestured with her hand: Can I have a spoon to drink from?
Lin Shuyun understood, so she laid the person on the pillow and used a spoon to feed her.
Xiao Hong had just taken a bite.
Vomit——
Lin Shuyun didn't give her a chance to spit it out, feeding her spoonful after spoonful, and in no time the bowl of porridge was finished.
"Eat more, there's more in the pot if you're not full."
Little Red Girl shook her head frantically, then lay flat again. Her eyes were vacant for a moment before she turned her head away and closed them.
Lin Shuyun: ...
After finishing her meal, Lin Shuyun fed the donkey.
"I'm going back to my parents' home. You all stay here and take care of that little girl, Xiao Hong. I'll be back before dark."
She brought some things from the town and county to Madam Li and her fiancé, Sister Qiaoqiao.
Jiang Changtian came out with two books in his hands. "I'll go with you. Hongwen, if you don't understand anything while reading, ask me."
Lin Shuyun stroked her chin. "I almost forgot about that. Old man, remember to make medicine for Xiaohong. We'll make do with two meals today. We'll be back before dark."
Old Xu waved his hand, "Alright, you can go ahead without worry."
As long as Jiang Changtian doesn't cook for me anymore, that's fine.
Others spend money cooking, he spends his life cooking.
Coal Ball and Little Thing were left at home. Coal Ball didn't need to be taken care of, and Little Thing could just go to the village chief's house to buy some goat milk.
As soon as Lin Shuyun entered Xinghua Village, people greeted her, each one seeming to have something to say but holding back.
When they arrived home, Ms. Li, who opened the door, looked extremely haggard, with red and swollen eyes, and forced a smile that looked worse than crying.
"Yunniang, Changtian, you've arrived."
Lin Shuyun knew something was wrong at home when she saw Li Shi's appearance.
Could it be that her father is impotent?
As soon as Lin Dahai came out of the house, he sneezed twice. "You're back. Come in quickly."
Lin Dahai also looked worried and distressed.
Lin Shuyun went straight into the house without even tying up the donkey cart.
Inside the room, Lin Hongzhi's face was covered in injuries, and one of his arms was clamped with a wooden board.
"Brother, what's wrong with you?"
Lin Shuyun's eyes instantly turned cold.
Lin Hongzhi, despite his swollen nose and face, still managed a smile. "It's nothing, I just tripped and fell while walking. Oh, you guys are back. I remember my brother-in-law likes to eat fish, so I'll go find some stones to catch some."
After saying that, Lin Hongzhi walked out, his leg a little unsteady, as if afraid that Lin Shuyun would ask him something.
Lin Shuyun looked at Lin Hongwen beside her, "Hongwen, what happened?"
Lin Hongwen spoke evasively, "It's nothing, it's just that my brother..."
Lin Shuyun interrupted him sharply, "Don't lie to me!"
Lin Hongwen's eyes immediately reddened. "Sister, we went to the Lu family to propose marriage, presented the betrothal gifts, and discussed the wedding date. But then a merchant surnamed Wang went to the Lu family, took a fancy to Sister Qiaoqiao, and tried to take her away. Even when my older brother tried to stop them, they beat him up!"
“Those people crippled my brother’s hand! The doctor said he can never do carpentry again! We went to report it to the authorities, but they won’t do anything about it…”
Lin Hongwen broke down in tears as he spoke, saying that things had finally started to look up at home, and then this happened.
Lin Dahai entered the house, frowned, and said, "Why are you telling your sister these things?"
Lin Shuyun was furious and turned to leave.
"Yunniang, where are you going?"
Just as Mrs. Li was about to enter, she nervously pressed for answers.
Lin Shuyun had already left the hospital. "I'm going to town to find Doctor Yang to buy some good medicine for my brother. I'll be back later."
"This child was so aggressive, I thought he was going to settle scores with someone," Madam Li patted her chest.
Then she couldn't help but want to cry again. Seeing her son-in-law choking up beside her, she said, "Changtian, sit in your room for a while. I'll go cook."
Jiang Changtian watched her departing figure with a worry in his eyes that he himself didn't even realize.
……
Lin Shuyun didn't drive the donkey cart; she ran faster than the donkey cart itself.
We arrived in town in less than half an hour.
Lin Hongwen only said that he was a businessman surnamed Wang, and he didn't know anything else about him. Lin Shuyun decided to find out more information first.
If you ask who can get the fastest information, it's definitely the people from all walks of life who mingle in all sorts of places.
She turned and walked towards the gambling den, just as she reached the entrance.
A skinny, monkey-like man who came out of there bumped into her as he passed by.
"Damn, can't this little wench watch where she's going?!"
