One-acre three-point land of the miracle doctor and peasant girl

Chapter 4
While thinking about it, Mrs. Zhou opened the door and came in. Seeing that Hongxue had woken up, she smiled and said, "It's a good thing you're still awake, otherwise I was thinking about waking you up. There is only one sweet potato left in the pot. You go ahead and wake up." Pad pad, I will go to your grandma's kitchen in a while to see if there is anything else to eat."

"No need, mother, one sweet potato is enough." Hongxue said naturally.Suddenly, as if thinking of something, he asked, "Did you have dinner?"

Although the two only got along for a while, for some reason, Hongxue was sure that Zhou didn't eat anything at night.

"Mother is not hungry!" Zhou's face blushed, and he said in a low voice: "Your younger sisters and Ah Mao are drooling when they see the face, so mother decides to share the food with them. You won't be angry, right?" The last sentence was said with care.

"Huh..." Hongxue didn't turn her head around for a moment, she let out a sigh, and asked with a pair of bright eyes, "Why should I be angry?"

"That's you..." Before Zhou could finish, Hongxue understood in an instant that the three bowls of noodles were sent by Mrs. Zhang, which was her "selling money". Mrs. Zhou was afraid that she would let her other children eat them. , she, the Righteous Lord, will not be happy.

"Mother, you're stupid! They give you something, and you don't want to eat it for nothing, and it's not what we want." Hongxue said as a matter of course: "Besides, when have we ever had enough to eat all these years? Yet we still have to make cows for them." Being a horse, is it too much to eat a bowl of noodles from them?"

"That's what I said, but if the noodles are usually delivered, it's nothing, but..."

"So what? The human trafficking is their fault. If there is a trouble, no one will help them." Hongxue said angrily.

"Okay, okay, don't get excited, and be careful to wake up Xiang'er and Amao. You eat the sweet potatoes first, and mother will cover your wound." Zhou glanced at the two children on the other side, feeling radiant. The brilliance of motherhood.

It was only then that Hongxue remembered that there were only two wing rooms in her house, and she and her two younger sisters lived in one room, while Zhou took the youngest pair of twins to live in one room.

Now she is living in her mother's room because she was injured, Hongxue couldn't help feeling cold when she thought that there were still people in the room when she entered the space just now.

But fortunately, the two little ones are both sleeping soundly, otherwise she would just disappear and reappear out of thin air, I'm really afraid of frightening the children!

Hongxue gnawed the sweet potatoes in two bites, while Zhou shi gently treated her wound, wiped it, and asked in surprise, "Xue'er, who gave you the medicine?"

"An old doctor who went to the mountains to collect herbs, he saw that I was covered in injuries, so he..."

"I just gave you the medicine?" Zhou's voice raised unconsciously.

In any case, it is inappropriate for a man to give medicine to his daughter, even if the other party is an old doctor.The deep-rooted concept in Zhou's mind made her unable to accept this fact.

"Mother, calm down!" Seeing Zhou's tense face, Hongxue secretly laughed inwardly, but she didn't dare to show any part of her face: "Will you listen to what I have to say? Otherwise, it would be bad to wake Xiang'er and the others."

Speaking of the youngest daughter and the others, Mrs. Zhou looked nervously at the movement over there, and seeing that the two children were still sleeping soundly, she breathed a sigh of relief: "Then you should speak quickly!"

"The old doctor kindly left some herbs that I needed, taught me how to make them, and then left. It was also with great difficulty that I bandaged them according to the method he taught." Hongxue continued to lie.

"You made all of this yourself?" Zhou couldn't believe it.

"Otherwise, my clothes wouldn't be torn like this." Hongxue said helplessly, pointing to the coat that Zhou had taken off.

"I'm relieved." Mrs. Zhou patted her chest, turned her face and instructed: "Tomorrow with your grandma, don't mention this, just say that the clothes were torn when they beat the quilt."

Hongxue almost laughed: This mother is so interesting, I am looking forward to her performance tomorrow.

Still, he nodded sullenly.

Mrs. Zhou thought that Hongxue was still sad, so she comforted her softly, "You can sleep here tonight, you are covered in injuries all over, why did they attack so hard, you really are, don't you know how to resist?" , but a little angry.

"My dear mother, how many full meals have we had in all these years?" Hongxue said dumbfounded, "Do you think I, with small arms and thin legs, can resist five of them? Two big men."

"Also, are you sure I can run away after resisting, instead of attracting more beatings?" Hongxue continued to analyze.

"Oh! It's useless to be a mother, I didn't protect you guys well!" Zhou sighed in a low voice: "Go to bed early, and talk about other things tomorrow."

The next morning, Hongxue woke up after a flurry of jumps.

Listening carefully, there are women's noises, children's cries, and the sound of crutches hitting the ground... There are also faint mentions of "she nodded herself..." and other words.

Hongxue sobered up in an instant. Could it be that her mother had already started arguing with the people over there?

No, I, the client, must go out and have a look.

Thinking of this, she quickly got dressed, and carefully looked at the other side of the bed, only to find that there was no one there, Hongxue blushed: I am the one who woke up the latest!
After arriving in the courtyard, Hongxue was startled: Why are there so many people?

At this time, she remembered that it was the end of spring plowing, and the farmers paid special attention to spring plowing in order to fill their stomachs. Therefore, as soon as the sky turned pale, the village became busy.

The noise in Jiang's courtyard easily attracted people who were walking into the fields with hoes on their shoulders.

Everyone stood outside the courtyard and stopped to watch.

"Mr. Zhou, don't touch your nose. She is just a daughter-in-law who was picked up halfway. She dares to point at her mother-in-law and scold her. It's against you." Mrs. Zhang pointed at Mrs. Zhou's nose and cursed angrily.

"If you are a mother-in-law worthy of respect, the daughter-in-law must respect you well." Zhou retorted, not to be outdone, "But look what you have done? I asked Xiuzhu to trick me out yesterday evening, and when I turned around, I took Xue'er away." Bound into a sedan chair and sold to Mr. Hong, is there anyone like you who is a human milk?"

There was a clear voice from the villagers: It turned out that Mrs. Zhang wanted to sell Mrs. Zhou's daughter, no wonder she became so fierce.

"What's called selling? That's what Xue girl nodded herself!" Zhang argued strongly, but still could hear some lack of confidence.

But thinking about it, Jiang Hongxue didn't come back overnight, and in such a remote place, maybe he was eaten by wild animals, so wouldn't there be no proof?She has the final say on everything, no matter how sloppy she is, Zhou, she can't be more than a word of filial piety.

Of course, the old lady was so focused on the quarrel that she didn't see Hongxue standing in the shadows, otherwise she wouldn't have that confidence.
