Abandoning a daughter never abandons, a medical concubine should be self-reliant

Chapter 55
Fortunately, although it was still cloudy, it did not rain again.

Even so, in the rainy season, Li Siqi still prepared umbrellas and rain boots.

Her footsteps are slow, and she will stop to appreciate some interesting scenery or things, and she walks all morning before leaving the bustling capital city.

When walking to a river in the outskirts of Beijing, a handsome young woman in her 20s and a boy of seven or eight were washing things.

There was a sleeping baby in the basket behind the woman.

When passing by, Li Siqi noticed a red palm print on her left cheek, and she seemed to be sobbing with all her might.

Feeling pity, Li Siqi stepped forward and asked, "Sister-in-law, what's wrong with you? What's wrong with you?"

Seeing someone approaching, Lin Xiaocao hurriedly turned her face and wiped away her tears with her sleeve.

Then he replied: "Thank you, Miss, for your concern. These are all short-sighted matters of the parents, so they are not worth mentioning."

Seeing that she was embarrassed to say it, Li Siqi turned to look at the little boy next to her.

He was washing the sheets. After rubbing his hands, he put them on the stone, picked up the pestle and beat them a few times, rinsed them again with clean water, and scooped up the wringing water.

She actually looks good, it looks like that, anyway, she washes better than Ji Siqi when she was seven or eight years old.

Li Siqi smiled softly, and said: "Little brother, what's your name, you are really capable, you can help mother with work at such a young age!"

The little boy scratched his head, sniffed again, and said shyly, "Hello, sister! I'm called Wang Shuanzhu, and it's all because I didn't live up to it, which made my mother have no food to eat, and even helped me wash the sheets."

Looking at Lin Xiaocao, and then at the little boy, Li Siqi asked in puzzlement, "Aren't you washing for mother? Why..."

"I... I slept too deeply last night, and... I wet the bed again." After the little boy stammered, he lowered his head in shame.

Li Siqi looked at Lin Xiaocao, her eye circles began to turn red again.

Sighing deeply, Lin Xiaocao said with a sad face: "My family is good at tying everything, healthy, smart and filial.

This alone is a big problem. Now that I am eight years old, I still wet the bed every one or two days, but what should I do? "

As he spoke, he wiped away his tears again.

Seeing this, Li Siqi felt a bit of sadness in her heart, and quickly patted Lin Xiaocao on the back, comforting: "Sister-in-law Wang, don't worry, it's not a problem for him, it can be cured."

The tears in Lin Xiaocao's eyes were even worse, she shook her head and sighed: "My son's father is sick, leaving us three mothers and an old mother behind.

The four of us are orphans and widows, and our livelihood is a problem. How can we have money to see a doctor. "

Alas, it's really a leaky house and continuous rain all night, and the boat is late and hits the headwind.

Li Siqi secretly sighed, and glanced at the baby in the basket, which looked about six or seven months old.

In his sleep, the little guy pursed his mouth slightly, sucking, and then he grinned, dripping a few drops of saliva.

The cute expression made Li Siqi overflowing with maternal love, she couldn't help reaching out to stroke his pink face, and said, "Xiaobao is only a few months old?"

Lin Xiaocao wiped her tears with a handkerchief, nodded and said, "Well, it's only half a year old."

Based on this calculation, the child's father died in the past two years.

So, Li Siqi asked again: "Sister-in-law Wang, have you never cured bedwetting?"

"Yeah, in the first few years, I felt that the child was young, maybe it would be better to grow up, but then I gradually felt that something was wrong.

But as soon as he realized it was a disease, before he had time to see it, his father fell ill.At that time, I was just pregnant with Erya, and he stayed in the hospital bed for nine months, but he still couldn't get over it. "

Lin Xiaocao burst into tears as she spoke, unable to form a sentence, and continued intermittently: "In the end... I couldn't... I couldn't see my daughter was born.

His father spent all our savings due to sickness, and even owed a lot of debts...

The mother-in-law sent a white-haired person to a black-haired person. She was already sad and had a hard time, so she scolded me for being useless and my daughter for being a bastard.

In addition, she always wets the bed, making her even more irritable...

They took out their anger on us, beat and scolded them frequently, and were not allowed to eat.I'm an adult, but I can bear it, you said that the child is growing up, how can he do without eating..."

In the end, Lin Xiaocao couldn't cry.

Life has been full of hardships since ancient times, but the hardships they experienced in front of them must have been too much.

Li Siqi decided to help them.

At this time, maybe God also realized the injustice, and suddenly dark clouds covered, and a thunderbolt burst in the sky, splitting the sky in two.

The sleeping baby was startled by the thunder, and burst into tears.

Lin Xiaocao shook her body, shook the basket, and coaxed softly, "Erya, don't cry, mother is here, let's go home!"

Seeing strong winds and heavy rain approaching, she hurriedly ordered Shuan Zhuo to put the sheets in a basin and bring them home.

Then he turned around and invited Li Siqi, "Big sister, I think you are passing by, it's going to rain, and you can't make it on a rainy day.

My house is close, if you don't mind it, go to my house to avoid it first. "

Looking up at the dark cloud-covered sky, Li Siqi replied: "Then I will trouble Mrs. Wang."

Lin Xiaocao waved her hand, "No trouble, let's go!"

Li Siqi followed them to a few brick-roofed houses not far from the river. ,
The main room, the east and west rooms, followed by the kitchen room and the guest room are facing each other. There is a thatched hut in the southeast corner without the courtyard wall.

Mrs. Wang was standing at the door of the main room looking around, and when she saw the group of them coming back, she had a disgusted expression on her face.

His eyes stayed on Li Siqi for a moment, then quickly turned away and went into the room.

At this moment, bean-sized raindrops hit the ground, and the rain became heavier and heavier, and it was pouring rain in a blink of an eye.

Lin Xiaocao hurriedly led Li Siqi into the hall.

As soon as he entered the door, he asked Mrs. Wang for instructions, "Grandma, it's raining, I'll bring this girl to our house to shelter from the rain."

Looking outside at the heavy rain that could not stop for a while, Mrs. Wang squinted a pair of shrewd triangular eyes, looked Li Siqi up and down,

She pursed her lips and said to Lin Xiaocao: "You are also aware of our family's situation, but there is no extra ration for others to eat."

Lin Xiaocao lowered her head and said in a low voice with little confidence: "Then...then give her half of my share."

Mrs. Wang sneered, "Your share? Lin Xiaocao, do you deserve to eat? Are you done with today's work?"

"I, I..." Lin Xiaocao murmured and did not continue.

At this time, the baby in the basket started crying again.Lin Xiaocao hurriedly carried her out to coax her.

"Go, go, go to work, get out of here, don't stand in my way!" Mrs. Wang waved her hands impatiently.

Shuan Zhuo took a step forward, stood in front of Lin Xiaocao, and said dissatisfiedly: "Grandma, my mother has not eaten for two meals, are you going to starve her to death?"

Wang Pozi rolled her eyes nonchalantly, and snorted out of her nose, "It's better to starve to death, it's all dead!"

"Grandma, you..." Shuan Zhuo wanted to defend himself again, but Lin Xiaocao grabbed him and shook his head.

He had no choice but to swallow what he wanted to say, and gritted his teeth, "Mother, sister, let's go!"

Lin Xiaocao hesitated there.

Only now did Li Siqi know that Lin Xiaocao's situation was much worse than what she said.

This mother-in-law is simply an unreasonable, evil mother-in-law who abuses her daughter-in-law and grandson!

Li Siqi was so angry that she wanted to beat her up!
But it's obvious that this evil mother-in-law is the housekeeper now, and she can't implicate Lin Xiaocao and the others impulsively.

With some attention in mind, Li Siqi pulled the corner of Lin Xiaocao's clothes, and pretended to salute Mrs. Wang, "Greetings, mother-in-law!"

After saluting, she took another piece of silver from her purse.
