The whole family stocked up on supplies two years in advance, so they could live a life of luxury wh

She then got up, and Peach Blossom immediately jumped up from the haystack, angrily saying:

"Father, Father, wake up! She's secretly getting up and is probably going to give the pork to Scholar Nan again."

Li Fusheng frowned, but remembering what Xing'er had said during the day, he lowered his voice and said:

"Peach Blossom, don't talk nonsense. If your third sister says she'll repent, then she will. Besides, she was the one who hunted the wild boar today. If she wanted to give it to Scholar Nan, why didn't she deliver it to him immediately?"

"father....!"

Li Taohua was speechless, choked by her father's words, but she still stubbornly said:

"Hmph, I don't believe she'll repent. Father, if you don't believe me, just wait and see tomorrow morning. She'll definitely send all the slaughtered pork to Scholar Nan."

After saying that, Li Taohua turned her back as if she was sulking and stopped talking.

Tears streamed down her face.

She used to have a thatched hut where she could barely sleep, but now that it's getting cold, she can only huddle in a pile of straw under a tree.

The more she thought about it, the more she hated Xing'er.

But Granny Li had a ulterior motive.

She also quietly got up and followed behind Xing'er, looking nervous, afraid that the brat would secretly give the wild boar meat to the Nan family again.

However, after following Xing'er all the way, Xing'er's actions left her dumbfounded.

The girl secretly took a carrying pole to the riverbank in the middle of the night and carried load after load of water with her thin body. This made Granny Li cry her eyes out.

She raised her hand and wiped away her tears.

"My granddaughter has finally come to her senses! It was all worth it, all worth it! Thank you to our ancestors for their blessings!"

As she spoke, she knelt down in the direction of her ancestral graves.

Xing'er heard the sound but didn't turn around. She shrugged and continued carrying water back.

halfway.

She quietly slipped into the bushes and entered the space. First, she took the cephalosporin, then ground it into powder, added a water bag of spiritual spring water, and then left the space satisfied.

Back under the tree.

She had filled the water vat, and then started a fire to pretend to brew medicine. After she finished, she walked quietly to Zhang's side and whispered, "Mother, I heard you coughing just now."

I've brewed some herbal medicine; Mother, please try it first.

"It might have some effect."

Zhang looked at her with tenderness, but unfortunately she couldn't get up. She forced herself to sit up, and Xing'er quickly stepped forward to help her. She then picked up a small bowl and handed it to Zhang, carefully feeding her the medicine.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Zhang drank it, a black aura was instantly drawn out of her body, and Xing'er was almost startled when she saw this.

You'd think a monster had appeared.

Fortunately, only Xing'er could see this scene.

After drinking it, Zhang suddenly vomited a large mouthful of black blood.

Li Taohua, who was observing the situation, immediately stood up and kicked Xing'er hard in the chest. She then stood up and shouted, "Father, Father, wake up! She poisoned Mother! She poisoned Mother! Mother is vomiting blood!"

The kick stunned Xing'er, and a trickle of blood spilled from the corner of her mouth.

She saw the black blood splattered on the ground and cried out:

"No, that's impossible. I didn't poison Mother. This is medicine."

The noise instantly woke up the entire Li family under the torreya tree.

Li Fusheng sat up abruptly, looking at his most beloved third daughter with a disappointed expression, and said with a tone of utter frustration:

"What... what are you trying to do, Xing'er? Why are you still unrepentant!"

"Snap!"

In the end, he still hardened his heart and slapped his third daughter.

He shouted through gritted teeth:

"You actually poisoned your mother! What has she ever done to wrong you? Now even your father can't tolerate you anymore. You... you should just leave!"

"Father, I didn't poison Mother."

Xing'er had been kicked in the chest, and now her father had slapped her across the face. This actually woke her up. She turned her head and shouted:

"Mother is alright now, look! Her complexion has improved after she vomited blood."

As Zhang vomited, she finally coughed up the last mouthful of black blood.

He then finished the rest of the medicinal soup.

She suddenly felt a surge of energy and immediately stood up to protect Xing'er. "Honey, I'm alright. I'm really alright. I feel so much better after spitting out those mouthfuls of black blood."

"You don't believe me? Look, I can stand up and walk without any problems."

After saying that, Zhang took a few steps forward as if nothing had happened, then immediately retreated.

She cupped Xing'er's face in her hands and cried:

"My good child, I'm so sorry you had to go through that. I know, I know everything. How could you poison me? You're my most beloved Xing'er!"

Upon hearing this, Xing'er's eyes quietly welled up with tears.

"I'm fine."

Seeing his wife's face brighten from pale to rosy, and her complexion visibly improving, Li Fusheng felt guilty for slapping Xing'er earlier. He walked over to his daughter and said helplessly:

"Xing'er, please forgive your father. Father... Father was just too anxious."

After saying that, he turned around and scolded his second daughter, "It's all your fault! What are you yelling about? Your third sister was clearly brewing herbal medicine for your mother, but you insisted that she was trying to poison her. You should apologize to your third sister right now."

Li Taohua bit her lip, tears of grievance welling up in her eyes. She never expected that her third sister would actually brew an antidote, but she clearly saw her mother vomit blood, so how could she blame her?

She stubbornly turned her back and remained silent.

Tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.

Li Dashan patted her shoulder to comfort her, then explained to his father:

"Father, please don't blame Second Sister. She didn't do it on purpose. We were all terrified when Mother vomited black blood. We all thought something had happened to her. Who would have thought that she would get better after vomiting the black blood?"

Xing'er looked up and immediately stared at her second sister. "You just kicked me, what do you have to say?"

"Go ahead and fight back if you dare."

Li Taohua stared at her with disgust.

"Father, Mother, Second Sister said it herself, so don't blame me."

After saying that, Xing'er kicked Li Taohua in the face with a flying kick.

Li Taohua burst into tears.

"Father, my third sister hit me!"

Li Fusheng pretended not to hear, since she had made the first move.

Xing'er kicked back, feeling better. She turned around, helped her mother up, and whispered to her to get some rest.

Finally, he lay alone on the straw, his back to everyone, and slowly pounded his chest with his hands.

To be honest, Peach Blossom's kick was quite heavy. She unscrewed the water pouch, took a sip, and then closed her eyes to prepare for sleep.

Peach Blossom wiped away her tears and said to her elder brother:

"Brother, she's definitely faking it. Let's see how long she can keep up the act."

"You go to sleep, she goes to sleep. There's still a lot to do tomorrow."

Stop fooling around.

"But!"

…………

Li Dashan was also somewhat surprised. Ever since his third sister was struck by lightning today, her personality had undergone a complete change. Could it be that the ancestors of the Li family could not manifest their spirits?

He's waiting for a free moment to go and pray.

May the ancestors of the Li family bless him to pass the imperial examination, so that his family will not have to pay taxes, his parents can have an easier time, and he can successfully marry a wife to take care of his parents.

Time quickly came to the hour of Chou (1-3 AM).

The moon hung brightly in the sky.

Li Fusheng, who hadn't had enough sleep, yawned, rubbed his eyes, got up and started cleaning the wild boar meat. Then, carrying a basket full of wild boar meat, he, Li Laojiu, and Zhu Dadan set off for the market under the stars.
