There is a Wangfu wife at home

Chapter 228 Can't express (one more)
After leaving Zhong's house, Luo Cheng drove the donkey cart to Xiangshui Village.

Xiangshui Village is poorer than Jinshan Village, because the village is mostly surrounded by mountains and forests, with few fields.

Except for a small number of rich families, most of them have no land.

I tried to find a place to open up wasteland, but I couldn't find it.

Large forests are not suitable for farming.

There are also fewer ditches than in Jinshan Village.

Families who can hunt will have better family conditions, while those who can't hunt have to work part-time for those who produce a lot of land in their villages to make ends meet.

Or, send the young and middle-aged people in the family to the county town to be apprentices to earn money.

But where can you make a lot of money in these avenues?

None of the Chen family brothers knew how to hunt, and there were many people and few fields. Although the family worked hard, they did not earn much money.

Especially honest Chen Laiqing.

He has been the son-in-law of the Luo family for 20 years, and he returned home with only fifty cash in his pocket. His leg was broken by the Luo family, and he is still unable to get out of bed.

Mrs. Chen was sitting at the door washing her clothes, and she sighed.

Li Jiaoniang and Luo Cheng parked the donkey cart at the gate of Chen's courtyard.

Mrs. Chen was wiping tears.

"Grandma Chen." Li Jiaoniang called out with a smile.

Only then did Mrs. Chen come back to her senses, she looked up and found that it was Li Jiaoniang who had come.

She immediately smiled and said, "Oh, it's Jiao Niang and Luo Cheng who are here? Daqing daughter-in-law?" Mrs. Chen called the eldest daughter-in-law, "We have guests at home, come and entertain them!"

Chen Daqing's daughter-in-law, wearing an apron around her waist, hurried out of the big house in the front yard.

She smiled and nodded to Li Jiaoniang, "Jiaoniang is here."

Behind her, there are several children.

Li Jiaoniang smiled and said, "Aunt Chen, let's take a look at Uncle Chen. How is his leg now?"

"The swelling has subsided, but it still hurts." Chen Daqing's wife shook her head.

Luo Cheng lifted a bucket from the car, and the children saw that there were shrimps in it, so they ran over together.

Chen Daqing's daughter-in-law held them with one left hand and the other with the right, "Don't make trouble! Be well behaved."

Li Jiaoniang smiled and said, "Aunt Chen, these shrimps are for you. Uncle Chen's leg is hurt and he needs to make up for his body." He took out two more boxes, "There are some medicinal materials here, and they are also for Chen. Uncle."

Chen Daqing's daughter-in-law and Mrs. Chen waved their hands together, "Oh, this can't be done, why did you send something? It's still such a precious medicinal material. We are very grateful if you come to see him, take it back quickly go back."

Mrs. Chen waved her hands again and again, refusing to accept the medicine box.

Li Jiaoniang handed it into her arms, but Mrs. Chen pushed it away with her hands.

"The prawns are from the ditch of my own house. I netted a lot today, and I couldn't finish them, so I brought some. Most of these medicinal materials were picked by myself, and it didn't cost much." Li Jiaoniang put the medicinal materials in the box. , and stuffed it into Old Madam Chen's hand, "Grandma just hold it."

Luo Cheng brought the bucket in front of Chen Daqing's wife.

Today, Chen Daqing's daughter-in-law cooks all the meals that everyone in the Chen family eats. The family was originally separated, but Chen Laiqing has no one to take care of him, and the family rejoined.

"We didn't treat you much, but you sent us something. I don't know how to thank you." Mrs. Chen called an older granddaughter, took the bucket away, and called Chen Daqing's daughter-in-law to give it to Li Jiaoniang and Luo Cheng. Make tea.

"I'll go see Uncle Chen." Li Jiaoniang said with a smile.

"I'll take you there." Another granddaughter of the Chen family led Li Jiaoniang inside.

Luo Cheng parked the donkey cart and followed him into the West Wing.

Chen Laiqing had already heard the voices of everyone in the courtyard, but his legs were not convenient for moving, so he was still lying down.

Seeing Luo Cheng and Li Jiaoniang enter the room now, besides being grateful, he felt very sorry, "Luo Cheng, I really don't know how to thank you, I'm really ashamed that I didn't do anything for you before."

Thinking back, when the Luo family forced Luo Cheng to marry his daughter Chen Yinhua, and even hit the door, he did not stop the success, and the Luo family made troubles with Luo Cheng every day, and Chen Laiqing felt very guilty.

Luo Cheng shook his head, "Uncle Chen, when my grandfather died of illness, I couldn't tame the cows. You were the one who quietly helped me plow the fields. I remember that."

Chen Laiqing smiled, "That's nothing."

"Such a big thing, how can it be nothing? So Uncle Chen, let's send a little heart, you just keep it." Li Jiaoniang smiled and said, "By the way, Uncle Chen, we are here today, one is to come Look at you, secondly, I want to ask you for help."

With such great help from Li Jiaoniang and Luo Cheng, Chen Laiqing hurriedly said, "Why are you being polite? If you need my help, just ask."

If his leg hadn't been diagnosed and treated by Li Jiaoniang, it would have been completely useless.

Li Jiaoniang said, "It's our tavern. At present, Luo Cheng and I are the only ones who are busy. Occasionally, a few neighbors will help out when going to the market. When the village is busy, they can't help. I Thinking with brother Luo Cheng, find a regular person to help manage the tavern. I wonder if Uncle Chen wants to go?"

Of course Chen Laiqing wanted to go.

Ever since his leg was injured, he had to eat from his elder brother's house, and his 60-year-old mother would wash and take care of him. He felt guilty for a long time, and kept blaming himself for being a waste. If someone asked him to work, of course he agreed.

What's more, the conditions of his family are relatively poor.

There is only one and a half acres of land in the family, including him, a total of eight people have to eat, how can the grain harvested be enough to eat?

Not to mention paying taxes.

He doesn't know how to hunt, so he has no other way out except to help others.

Helping others is better than helping Luo Cheng and his wife, as repaying their kindness for saving each other.

only……

He glanced at his injured leg, which was still bound with a splint, and he couldn't get out of bed to walk yet.

"But my leg can't walk? I want to help but I can't." Chen Laiqing sighed and shook his head.

Li Jiaoniang smiled and said, "Uncle Chen, of course I will help you after your leg injury is healed. In my tavern, if I want to find an acquaintance or a stranger, I can't trust you."

Chen Laiqing nodded, "I'm thinking, in five or six days, I'll be able to go to the ground. At that time, I'll sit in front of the tavern and look at the door. You can free your hands and work at ease."

"Five or six days is not enough, ten days, let's see the situation after ten days." Li Jiaoniang said.

Chen Laiqing's body is strong, and his legs have recovered very well, but they have only just improved, and his legs can't use their strength yet, otherwise they will be easily injured again.

Chen Laiqing nodded happily, "Okay, then I will try my best to heal my injury."

In the next few days, Li Jiaoniang came to change Chen Laiqing's dressing every day.

Ten days later, he was able to walk on crutches.

That leg still can't exert strength, but it is still possible to touch the ground lightly and bend the knee, and the pain is no longer there.

Li Jiaoniang wanted Chen Laiqing to rest for a few more days before going to the tavern.

But Chen Laiqing couldn't sit still. "I've been lying down for half a month. If I lie down again, I won't be able to lie down anymore. Although I can't run, I can walk? You see, walking with a cane is not slow. "

He tried to walk in front of Luo Cheng and Li Niang.

Li Jiaoniang asked Luo Cheng, "Brother Luo Cheng, what do you mean?"

Although Luo Cheng said that she was in charge of family affairs, but she liked to discuss with him.

Home is not her own home.

Luo Cheng said, "Or, just do what Uncle Chen said, and let him sit and watch. If someone asks about the situation, he will speak for us. There are many people in the tavern, and many eyes." He knew that Chen Laiqingzhi So I was in such a hurry to work because my family was short of money and I wanted to share some of the burden for my family.

Li Jiaoniang smiled and said, "That's a good idea."

Chen Laiqing hurriedly said, "Then I will go to the market early tomorrow morning."

Luo Cheng said, "Let's pick up Uncle Chen. When the rooster crows twice, Uncle Chen will be waiting at home. We have a carriage, which saves our feet and is fast."

"Okay, let's put it this way." Chen Laiqing was very happy.

……

Early the next morning, Luo Cheng and Li Jiaoniang went to Yushan Village to pick up the three members of Zhong's family, and then went to Xiangshui Village to pick up Chen Laiqing.

Zhong said in surprise, "Brother Chen, your leg injury is still not healed? Are you going to the market? Why are you alone?"

Chen Laiqing said embarrassingly, "It's almost better, I can't be idle, I want to find something to do, no, Luo Cheng's family is short of people, I will help him."

That day, it was this Zhong family who persuaded Luo Axiang not to beat him.In a fit of anger, Luo Axiang vented her anger on Zhong's head, chopped off her clothes, and beat her.

Chen Laiqing felt very sorry for Mrs. Zhong.

But he is a big man, and he doesn't know how to express it.

"Oh, then you have to pay attention to your lower legs." Zhong replied casually, hugging Chunbao, and sat at the end of the carriage, with Chunya sitting in the middle.

Seeing the three of her mother and child crowded together, Chen Laiqing moved his head.

He stretched out his hand and patted the carriage board, "Sit up a bit, and be careful not to fall down."
