"This time Xu Laidi must die."
Li Huan said this hatefully, but when he saw Li's mother crying while holding little Cheng Li, he quickly comforted her. His mother had always been good-tempered and she had no idea that someone would come to harm her grandson.
"It just so happened that mom was useless. She was like a dead person at home and almost killed her own grandson. Fortunately, Goudan was there. Otherwise, if little Chengli had any accident, mom would not be alive either."
Seeing that Mother Li's eyes were red from crying, Cheng Qiao couldn't help but feel distressed. Mother Li was the best mother-in-law and the best grandmother in the world, so how could she blame her.
"Mom, don't cry. It's not your fault. It's Xu Laidi who has been deliberately trying to kill my son. It's impossible to prevent it. Let's cure Goudan first, otherwise I will feel uneasy."
"Yes, yes, yes, you should treat Goudan first. By the way, where is Doctor Ye? Why hasn't Doctor Ye come yet? Huan'er, go and see him."
"Hey, mother, don't stand. The little guy is heavy and can't bear it for a long time. Sit on the kang. I'll be right back."
Li Huan walked to the door and wanted to close it, but when he saw that the door had cracked into several pieces of wood, he could only shake his head and decide to do it later when he had time.
Just half an hour later, Li Huan still hadn't come back. Cheng Qiao became anxious, thinking that something might have happened to him. She touched Goudan who had fallen asleep, but didn't dare to leave.
"Cheng Qiao, hurry up, take... Goudan home, Goudan's grandmother... is dying."
Wang Xiangyang ran over panting. His legs were very tired today. He didn't know how much he had run. Even his heels felt sore.
"What? What's going on?"
Wang Xiangyang bent over and took a few deep breaths. He slowed down his breathing and then said, "I don't know which bastard told Goudan's grandmother that her grandson was strangled to death by Xu Laidi."
Cheng Qiao already understood that there must be someone secretly playing tricks, trying to muddy the water in order to distract everyone's attention. It was possible that Xu Laidie's visit to her house was secretly protected by this person.
"Goudan, I'll take you home."
Cheng Qiao stood up and wanted to carry Goudan back, but Goudan's eyes opened and tears kept streaming down. He wanted to get up, but suddenly he felt weak all over.
"Xiangyang, hurry up and hold Goudan. Mom, give me little Chengli. I'll go to Goudan's house to check on him."
Wang Xiangyang quickly picked up Goudan, and Cheng Qiao covered Goudan with a quilt, saying it was cold outside and they didn't want the child to get cold. She then picked up little Cheng Li, hugged him with a thin quilt, and quickly ran to Goudan's home.
There were also a lot of people gathered at the door of Goudan's house. You know, Goudan's parents were both soldiers and died in a battle, so Goudan was a treasure in the village and no one dared to bully him.
Little did they know that Xu Laidi would be so cruel as to attack the martyr's only child. Goudan's grandmother could not withstand the blow and fell to the ground, foaming at the mouth and unconscious.
Fortunately, Gousheng lived near Goudan's house. Gousheng didn't know that Goudan was at Cheng Qiao's house, and wanted to find Goudan to play with him. When he saw Goudan's grandmother lying on the ground, he was so scared that he ran out crying. Then Gousheng's parents went to find Ye Jun.
"Master, how is Goudan's grandmother?"
As soon as Cheng Qiao entered Goudan's house, she saw Ye Jun giving acupuncture to Goudan's grandmother with a silver needle. Under the dim, flickering oil lamp, the silver needle kept shaking in Ye Jun's hand, emitting bursts of silver light.
"Grandma, grandma, I'm not dead. I was saved by Aunt Cheng Qiao. Grandma, grandma, please open your eyes and look at me."
Goudan rushed towards his grandmother crying. Wang Xiangyang quickly hugged him tightly and told him not to worry because Doctor Ye was saving his grandmother.
Goudan finally calmed down, but his eyes were fixed on the silver needle in Ye Jun's hand, and his heart was beating so fast that it almost jumped out of his chest.
"Dog Egg..."
Grandma suddenly opened her eyes and saw her grandson in Wang Xiangyang's arms. Her heart instantly relaxed and she fell into coma again.
"Milk, milk..."
Goudan became anxious and tried to break free from Wang Xiangyang's arms. Wang Xiangyang glanced at Ye Jun, and when he saw him nod, he quickly let go. Goudan was finally able to rush to his grandmother's side, and his little hands kept touching her cheeks.
"Goudan, your grandma is fine, don't worry."
Ye Jun reached out and touched Goudan's head. This child saved his grandson, so he wanted to raise this child well.
"Master, tell me the truth."
"Take your own pulse."
Cheng Qiao handed little Cheng Li to Li Huan and sat on the edge of the kang to feel the pulse of Goudan's grandmother. Three minutes later, Cheng Qiao stood up, squatted in front of Goudan, held Goudan's hand, and said solemnly:
"Goudan, your grandma is not in danger of death for now, but she has had a stroke."
"Auntie, what is a stroke?"
"A stroke means paralysis, and you will need help from others to eat, drink, defecate and urinate."
"Aunt, I can take care of my grandma."
"No, I have a suggestion. Bring your grandma and you to my house. I will raise you and support your grandma."
"Aunt Cheng Qiao, do you mean you will be my mother from now on?"
Cheng Qiao nodded. If Goudan was willing, she could be the child's mother. If not, he could call her aunt or Auntie.
"Then little Cheng Li is my younger brother, right?"
Cheng Qiao also nodded. Her son owed Goudan a life, so there was nothing wrong with him being his younger brother.
Goudan's desperate face finally turned red. He thought his grandmother was going to die, and he thought he would be homeless again. He didn't expect that Aunt Cheng Qiao was willing to be his mother, and he also had an incredibly handsome younger brother.
"Li Huan, if you don't agree with my decision, then let's get a divorce."
Cheng Qiao stood up and saw Li Huan looking at him with a speechless look. He thought Li Huan was unwilling. Li Huan did not know whether to laugh or cry. The reason why he was speechless was because Cheng Qiao interrupted him.
"Wife, I am a cannon in your hand. I will hit wherever you point."
"Then I'll heat the room next door and come pick up grandma tomorrow morning. Goudan, you should stay at home with aunt tonight, otherwise I'm worried that you'll have a high fever in the middle of the night."
A frightened child is prone to having a high fever in the middle of the night. If not treated in time, there will be endless consequences. Goudan looked at his grandmother and felt a little worried.
"Go ahead, Aunt Cuihua will stay with your grandma tonight."
In this way, Goudan finally felt at ease to follow Cheng Qiao away. Mother Li made a lot of delicious food, which made Goudan very happy. After eating, he wanted to sleep, so Cheng Qiao took him into her room.
Just in the middle of the night, Cheng Qiao woke up Goudan and Xiao Chengli. The two children were a little confused, but when they saw that Li Huan and Cheng Qiao were preparing to take them out, they seemed to understand something.
Li Huan picked up Goudan, and Cheng Qiao picked up little Cheng Li. The four of them quietly went out and came to the village committee. When they saw Xu Laidie, Cheng Qiao sprinkled some flesh-colored powder on her face.
