Poor family farming: the sick and weak scholar's wife is very sturdy

Chapter 22

In the feudal Daxia Dynasty, when there was not enough to eat, many weak people would not receive special care, and countless people would starve to death.

Therefore, the surrounding villagers didn't think that Liu Ruyan's refusal to feed Li's mother was so important, but they were very surprised that Lin Xiao used a bowl of maltose water to wake up Li's mother.

"Isn't Black Widow's man a barefoot doctor?"

"I've never heard of a barefoot doctor in Lin Family Village!"

"How do I know this?"

"Couldn't he be that bookworm from Lin Family Village?"

"I look alike, it looks like that nerd!"

The villagers discussed in low voices.

At this time, someone yelled "The village chief is here", and everyone immediately shut up obediently.

In the minds of the villagers who have never seen a few officials in their lifetime, the status of the village head can be called the emperor of the earth. Who dares to disrespect?

"Why is the village chief here? He must be here to make decisions for us!"

Liu Ruyan muttered softly, the moment she saw the village chief, she immediately rushed forward with tears in her eyes, full of grievances:
"Village Chief, you came just in time, you have to decide for us! The people of Lin Family Village have bullied our Li Family Village!"

"Get off!"

The village head pushed Liu Ruyan away in disgust, and sternly said to Li Yugua: "Li Yugua, take care of your wife!"

He doesn't have to listen to Mother Li's words, but he still listens to the village chief's words.

He quickly pulled Liu Ruyan back, winked at her, and told her to shut up!

Liu Ruyan glanced at her man aggrievedly, picked up the child in the bamboo cart and stood behind Li Yugua.

The village head changed his face, walked towards Lin Xiao with a smile on his face, and said politely:
"Surely this should be Xiao Linzi from Lin Family Village?"

"You... know me?"

Lin Xiao tried his best to think back, but he couldn't find this memory from the memory of the original owner.

In other words, neither she nor the original owner knew the village head of Li Family Village!
"You don't know me, but I've heard the head of the Lin Family Village mention you, the snake-slaying hero! When I saw you today, you're indeed a man of talent and personable!"

As soon as the village chief said this, everyone present was not calm.

"Snake-slaying hero? Could it be the Snake King entrenched on the back mountainside?"

A villager exclaimed.

"Don't be kidding, the Snake King, who even a few of us strong men can't handle, can he be killed by a little chicken?"

Another villager who had seen the python immediately retorted.

"Is there nothing to show off in the Lin Family Village? It's a fuss if you kill a snake, and you kill a snake hero, I am! How many of us here have never killed a snake?"

A villager said unconvinced.

"Old Li's son-in-law hacked and killed the Snake King entrenched on the mountainside behind us!"

The village chief said seriously: "I have seen the snake skin and snake head before, it is the snake king!"

After finishing speaking, the village head made a big bow to Lin Xiao: "Thank you, you have avenged my little Lizi!"

Xiao Lizi is the youngest son of the village chief's family. A few years ago, he went to the back mountain to play with his friends, but was swallowed by a giant python...

The village chief was in a hurry, and led a group of strong men to besiege them. They fought for three or four days, but apart from beheading the python's head, they didn't gain any advantage.

Therefore, he could recognize the scar on the python's head at a glance.

Lin Xiao hurriedly helped the village head up, and said modestly: "Please get up quickly, killing the giant python is to eliminate harm for the people, and everyone who gets it should be punished."

"thanks, thanks!"

The village chief was in tears and had no words to express. He could only hold Lin Xiao's hand tightly to express his gratitude.

The village chief knelt down in public, can there be a lie?

The villagers all bowed to Lin Xiao to thank them, and more or less relatives among them were also buried in the belly of the giant python.

"Don't be too polite, Yuyan, share the maltose you brought for auntie with everyone. No matter how hard life is, eating some candy will make it sweeter."

Lin Xiao was very embarrassed to be thanked so much by the villagers, and hurriedly asked Li Yuyan to distribute candy to everyone.

When the villagers saw the maltose in their hands, their eyes were straightened. Only then did they truly believe that the black widow Li Yuyan had turned over!
"Look, look, this malt candy is not worth a penny!"

"We have one piece of hand, it costs dozens of copper coins!"

"Liu Ruyan is really funny. He also said that someone came to ask her to borrow money. How much money can she have? I don't know if it's enough to buy maltose!"

"Old Li's family is looking down on people now, isn't it? It's no one to drive the God of Wealth out!"

……

The villagers ate the maltose that Li Yuyan distributed to them, and their attitudes took a 180-degree turn.

Liu Ruyan, who was bossy just now, was completely dumbfounded, and quickly put her son into the bamboo cart, and went into the back room to look through the baggage brought by Li Yuyan.

Rice, salt, cloth, wild boar, and the maltose that was just divided...

"How...how could..."

She is like a deflated rubber ball, and she is not well.

It stands to reason that the sister-in-law of the black widow is married and married so well, it should be a happy thing, but she is very happy in her heart.

This is the typical "I hope you live a good life, but you can't live a better life than me" mentality of bitterness and jealousy.

"Son, let your mother-in-law apologize to the new son-in-law!"

Mother Li pushed Li Yugua who was in a daze. After all, she felt sorry for her son.

I dare not hope that the new son-in-law who has made a fortune can help his son, but at least there should be no suspicion, right?

Before Li Yugua could react, Liu Ruyan, who came back to his senses, had already rushed to Lin Xiao, and said with a smile:

"My dog's eyes see people as inferior. The new son-in-law should not be as knowledgeable as a village woman who doesn't know how to be polite."

After finishing speaking, she slapped herself firmly on the face twice, and five finger prints instantly appeared on her dark skin.

The villagers didn't laugh at Liu Ruyan because of this, because they were soft-spoken and short-handed.

Secondly, everyone is respecting the snake-slaying hero. Isn’t it mocking the snake-slashing hero’s family members?

"You didn't offend me, but Yuyan and Auntie!"

Lin Xiao said coldly.

"Yu Yan, sister-in-law is wrong, can you forgive sister-in-law?"

Liu Ruyan turned her head to Li Yuyan, crying and saying:

"It's all bad for my sister-in-law. My sister-in-law is not a human being. She shouldn't target you and torture you everywhere. Just forgive me, okay?"

Seeing that Li Yuyan didn't speak, Liu Ruyan turned around and knelt down in front of Li's mother again, and slapped herself hard in the face:

"Mother, I'm not good at being a daughter-in-law. I'm not human! You can just forgive me for your little grandson's sake, okay?"

It is said that mother and child connect with each other, and the smiling child who was sitting on the bamboo cart saw his mother kneeling on the ground and slapped his mouth wildly, and he burst into tears instantly.

It made Mother Li's heart cry.

For the sake of the little grandson, Mother Li hurriedly helped Liu Ruyan up, and said to her: "I forgive you, mother forgives you."

　Next time.

　　The faces of the group of things surrounding him were ashen, and they couldn't see the facial features clearly at all. It can be said that the facial features were extremely vague.

　　Where did he dare to stay, he closed his eyes and rushed out.

　　After rushing home, he suffered from vomiting and diarrhea. He was dehydrated and sent to the hospital, where he recuperated for a long time before gradually recovering.

　　However, he has not really recovered his health so far, and he is always suffering from illness, which is completely different from his original healthy appearance.
