Chapter 748 How to Eat Potatoes (2)
"But you can't mention Liu Wencai in front of Fang Chen. After all, he's a man, and he definitely doesn't want you to mention Liu Wencai." Aunt Li advised, "He's your own man, so pay more attention to him and give him a baby as soon as possible."
"Mom...are you my mother or his mother? You always urge me to have a baby!" Ji Xiaomu said helplessly.
"It's your mother who is urging you. He is already in his twenties! Look at the men in their twenties in the village, which one doesn't have one or two kids? Some already have four or five kids!" Aunt Li said seriously.
"...Okay, okay, give birth, give birth!" Ji Xiaomu said helplessly. It was really scary to give birth to an army.
"Don't just talk! I'm waiting to hold my grandson!" said Aunt Li.
"...You have a grandson now!" Ji Xiaomu reminded.
"I want to be a grandmother!" Aunt Li was so angry that she wanted to hit her, and Ji Xiaou quickly ran away.
"This girl!" Aunt Li said with a smile, turned around and went in, brought the medicine she had prepared for Wu Mengniang, and delivered it to her room.
When Wu Mengniang saw Aunt Li come in, she wanted to sit up but pulled her wound again and her face turned pale with pain.
"Why are you getting up? Lie down quickly." Aunt Li hurried forward and supported her with one hand, while putting the medicine bowl on the cabinet next to her with the other hand.
"Auntie, I'm sorry to trouble you." Wu Mengniang spoke to Aunt Li in a reserved manner, completely different from the attitude she had just had towards Ji Xiaou.
"Drink the medicine!" Aunt Li didn't say anything and handed the medicine to Wu Mengniang. Wu Mengniang drank it with bitterness. Aunt Li stretched out her hand and found a piece of rock sugar in her palm.
Wu Mengniang didn't expect that Aunt Li would treat her like a baby and give her rock sugar after she took bitter medicine... Although she had heard about it from others, it was the first time she experienced it herself.
This kind and friendly trick used by elders to coax children made Wu Mengniang's eyes red, and she ate the rock candy in her mouth with tears in her eyes.
"Listen to the old lady and live well. She is kind-hearted and doesn't care about what you did in the past, but I hope you will remember her kindness and don't do anything to hurt her again." Aunt Li said seriously. "That child has suffered a lot. She is kind-hearted. I don't care if she does good things, but if you want to hurt her, I will not let you go."
"Auntie, I won't! She saved my life, I remember it!" Wu Mengniang said quickly.
"You have a hard life too. Take good care of yourself. You won't be treated unfairly." Aunt Li nodded with satisfaction when she saw that Wu Mengniang was sincere.
Before leaving, Aunt Li turned back and said, "Liu Wencai had his leg broken last night."
Wu Mengniang was stunned. Aunt Li had already left the house.
The person who would beat Liu Wencai would be no one else except Ji Xiaou. Aunt Li's words clearly told her that Ji Xiaou had avenged her.
Wu Mengniang's eyes became red again. This time there was no one around. Wu Mengniang covered herself with a quilt and cried for a long time.
A few days passed in such an uneventful manner. Since having Ling Wei, Ji Xiaou no longer had to run around. Everything was left to Ling Wei. Ling Wei would ask her to make decisions only when there was something important. All the plans were proceeding in an orderly manner, and Ji Xiaou finally returned to a peaceful life.
The days in the village were peaceful. The only fun was listening to stories about Liu Wencai being beaten up. Ever since Liu Wencai had his leg broken last time, his story had somehow spread to the town. Scholars hated having a bad reputation the most. Now, no matter how talented Liu Wencai was, he would not be valued. Even if he passed the exam to become a scholar, no one would stick to him.
What's more, Liu Wencai had average talent to begin with, and being a student was just luck.
