Doctor's Hand Covering Fragrance

Chapter 14

Mrs. An had heard all the conversations between the mother and daughter in the room. Seeing them enter, she drooped her eyelids and patted Mao Mao in her arms, and said calmly: "I heard everything."

Seeing her, Mrs. Xue just said that she heard it, and didn't make a statement. She was a little anxious: "Old lady..."

Mrs. An took a look at An Yi, and said sarcastically, "You actually know how to use your brain, and you know that this person is not easy to ask for. I said before that no matter how good Wu Jing is, she is not our family. She can't borrow money every day and never pay it back. The reason why people are not bored. You, an official lady from a scholarly family, don't understand things that children understand?"

The previous sentence was a sarcasm to An Yi but agreed with An Yi's statement, but the latter sentence was aimed at Xue Shi, and it was very serious, revealing all the dissatisfaction and dislike towards Xue Shi.Xue was speechless, so she could only weep secretly in shame.

Putting aside Mrs. An's venomous tongue, she thought that she could no longer be so cheeky as to force Wu Jing, which made Anyi think highly of her.But since An Yi came to this house, Mrs. Xue has always protected her unconditionally, so she can't just ignore Mrs. Xue and let Mrs. Xue be bullied by the old lady. An Yi cleared her throat and said, "Mother is also in a hurry. gone."

Old Madam An sneered, she was too lazy to speak, and turned her head to look at the courtyard gate absently, hoping that An Baoliang could find a way and come back quickly.

The contempt contained in Mrs. An's laughter was too harsh, Xue became more pale and silent, staring blankly at the gradually darkened window, with a bit of lifelessness in her eyes.Before the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law quarreled, Mrs. An blamed her for not raising the baby well, which is why Mao Mao gave birth prematurely, and why Mao Mao had this disease.If something really happened to Maomao, she had no choice but to give his life to him...

An Yi watched from the side, and she could see clearly the strong resentment between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.Presumably, when Mrs. An tried everything possible to marry a daughter-in-law like the Xue family, she had great hopes. She hoped that a daughter-in-law with a good background would prosper the family and lead the whole family to another level, so that she could feel proud in front of her tribe.But she chose Xue's background, but she didn't expect Xue's temperament.

Xue and the young widow, who are good at sitting at home, reading and writing, watching flowers and reciting poems and becoming female celebrities, broke through the siege by themselves, relying on a few acres of Susukida and two half-rotten houses to die for their mother-in-law and raise their son The old lady An, who became a Jinshi and became an official as an adult, is too cowardly and incompetent in comparison.Not only was Xue unable to manage the family affairs well, she couldn't control her concubine, and she couldn't even complete the task of having children as a daughter-in-law. She finally gave birth to a son, but it was premature and sick.

Looking at the situation, if there is something really wrong with Maomao, he is afraid that something big will happen to the family, and he must remind An Baoliang, otherwise the family will be destroyed.Anyi got up without making a sound, and went out quietly.

Ji Li hid alone in the kitchen to keep quiet. Because he wanted to save lamp oil, he didn't turn on the lamp, so he sat by the stove in the dark.Seeing An Yi go in to look for the lantern, knowing where the lantern was, she didn't remind her, and she let An Yi touch the ashes.An Yi searched and searched but couldn't find it, so she had to ask, "Auntie, where is the lantern?"

Ji Li has never been angry with her, and said coldly: "How would I know? Isn't the girl capable of doing a lot? Why do you have to ask me about such a trivial matter?"

At such a time, she had the intention to provoke herself, but it really had nothing to do with her.An Yi sneered and showed a row of white teeth: "I don't know? I really don't know? The family is in urgent need of money. I think my aunt is young and beautiful and worth a few taels of silver. I don't know if grandma will find a good place for my aunt." The real situation Yes, a concubine is a concubine. If she really gets to that point, Mrs. An will definitely only ask for a high price of silver, regardless of auspicious life and death. Whoever is willing to pay the silver will give it to anyone, and the price offered by the prostitute will be the highest.

In the remaining twilight, Ji Li seemed to see An Yi's white teeth gleaming coldly, couldn't help but shuddered slightly, and said with a sneer, "Don't come here to scare me, big girl. I didn't make any mistakes. I haven't done anything for you all these years." There is also hard work, why did the old lady and the master sell slaves inexplicably?" Although she was stubborn, she was guilty inside and out, and she understood very well that the old lady An bought her because the An family needed a son to carry on the family, so It is also entirely possible that she was sold to treat her grandson.

"Really?" An Yi smiled, turned her head and continued to touch the lantern, and left on her own after touching the lantern, leaving Ji Li alone in the dark.

Ji Li clenched his fist and let his nails sink deep into his palm.What An Yi said is naturally true, but what if Mao Mao died before selling her?As far as Xue's body is concerned, it is impossible to regenerate, An Baoliang is so poor, and it is impossible for him to take concubines, then both mother and son can only hope that their stomachs will bulge, and they can keep their current status, and even Higher!Ji Li took a deep breath excitedly, but then thought of another possibility, Mrs. An might sell her money for another younger and stronger Jinmen!After all, I have been in the door for five years but have nothing to come out.

An Yi, just wait and see!If you want to make me feel bad, I will make you feel bad too.Ji Li got up, groped to remove the stove ashes in the dark, and took out a tightly sealed small clay pot from the bottom of the stove ashes.

The light from the two paper lanterns hanging at the gate of the county government office pierced through the misty rain and mist, stretching An Baoliang's thin and lonely figure to length, adding a bit of desolation to the rainy night for no reason.

"Daddy." Perhaps it was because she had been defeated thoroughly, An Yi, who was standing under the wall, looked at this scene, and couldn't help feeling a little more sympathetic to this middle-aged man who was frustrated and desperately struggling.

An Baoliang wiped the water running down his cheeks, whether it was rain or tears, and forced a smile at Anyi: "Why did you come out?"

An Yi stood on tiptoe to cover the umbrella over his head, and said softly: "Seeing that Daddy hasn't come back after dark, don't worry, come out and pick it up."

After running around for a long time to borrow more than one tael of silver, An Baoliang, who felt chills in his heart and body, suddenly felt a little warmer, and tears welled up in his eyes.Afraid that An Yi would see it, she quickly turned her face and wiped her sleeve quietly, and hissed, "It's dark and rainy, what are you doing out as a girl? Have you eaten yet?"

Anyi pretended not to see his tears, shook her head and said: "I didn't eat, my grandmother and mother are angry, and my aunt is not in the mood to cook. I think there is something wrong with my mother's expression. I'm afraid she blamed me for my brother's illness." My head is on my head, and I can't think about it. After my father returns home, I remember to comfort my mother and persuade my grandmother not to push too hard. As long as the person is good, he can always find a way, otherwise the family will fall apart."

"Yeah." An Baoliang couldn't help but look at An Yi more, feeling that his daughter, who used to be ignorant, suddenly became much smarter and more transparent, and seemed to be a completely different person.

An Yi saw that he couldn't stop looking at herself, and knew that he was suspicious, but at this moment, she didn't care to hide her clumsiness, and asked An Baoliang: "Did you borrow money?"

An Baoliang remained silent and gently pushed open the courtyard door.
