Children aged four or five love to sleep. Li Damao and Li Ermao lay beside Li Qingzhi, calling for their daddy, and fell asleep unconsciously while calling for him.
Li Qingzhi was very weak and needed sleep, so he fell asleep in a daze.
Seeing that the three of them were asleep, Jin Xiaoye closed the door and started to get busy.
There was some pounded rice at home, so she lit a fire and fried the rice in an iron pan.
She was frying when Li Laogen came out from the next room.
It was noon and the sun was scorching. Li Laogen didn't want to go out to the fields to be exposed to the sun.
The weather was very hot, and Li Laogen, like Li Damao and Li Ermao, was not wearing a shirt and only wore a pair of shorts.
He glanced at the closed door and lowered his voice: "Xiao Ye, how is Ah Qing?"
Jin Xiaoye said: "I think he is much better, he should be able to survive." Before, the old people in the village said that Li Qingzhi would definitely not survive. Not only that, the doctor she invited also said in his words and deeds that Li Qingzhi would probably not survive.
The doctor didn't even prescribe more medicine!
Two days ago, seeing Li Qingzhi's weak breathing, Jin Xiaoye thought he would most likely not survive. But Li Qingzhi just woke up and ate a bowl of noodles, so maybe he could survive.
Li Laogen looked miserable when he heard this: "Can he survive... Then what should I do?"
Jin Xiaoye felt something was wrong: "Isn't it a good thing to be alive?!"
Li Laogen sighed: "He's not going to be able to work in the future with that condition, and there's an extra mouth to feed at home for nothing." Their family didn't have enough food to begin with, and now there's another person who eats dry rice. They'll probably have to drink rice soup every day in the future!
According to Li Laogen, given Li Qingzhi's condition, there was no need to treat him or give him medicine, which would have wasted the family's money.
Jin Xiaoye raised the bamboo shovel: "Aren't you here to eat? You earn less than you lose! If one day you can't work anymore, should I starve you to death?"
"I was just being careless with my words, don't take me seriously," Li Laogen picked up the bucket next to him and ran away, "I'll go water the vegetable garden now."
Seeing Li Laogen running away, Jin Xiaoye continued to fry rice.
Li Laogen is actually much better now.
After Li Qingzhi disappeared, Li Laogen felt that the two acres of land that Li Qingzhi owned should belong to him. He, who had never had money before, suddenly became nervous and looked for people to gamble with all day long.
In just one month, Li Laogen lost more than one tael, all of which he borrowed from others.
In other words, Li Laogen was timid and did not dare to go to the county town. He only gambled with people in the village, otherwise he would have lost all the two acres of land in his family.
But it was always more... How could Jin Xiaoye have so much money at that time
After she found out about this, she was furious. She quarreled with Li Laogen even though she was pregnant. She picked up the door bolt and chased Li Laogen around the village. She also went to the family who had lent money to Li Laogen and told them that the land was for the baby in her belly and that she would not help Li Laogen pay back the money...
She was pregnant with twins and her belly was very big. Li Laogen was afraid of her.
The people in the village were also afraid of her. In short, no one dared to lend money to Li Laogen anymore.
But she said she would not pay back Li Laogen, but Li Laogen had no ability to make money, so she couldn't really ignore it...
Later, she took care of Li Laogen, asking him to find snails and catch loaches, and then she took them to the county town to sell them. The unsold ones were used to raise ducks...
