Speaking of asking for wages, Li Qinghe's uncle went to help the Yang family for a few days.
Hearing the movement over there at this moment, he couldn't help it anymore, "I have to take a look."
The rest of the people followed suit, and most of them wanted to watch the excitement. Zhou Chengkang hugged the child and held her hand, "Let's take a look too."
A group of people entered the chicken coop from the backyard, walked through the grassland, and arrived outside the yard of the Yang family.
At this time, the gate of the yard was open, and there were many people inside. It seemed that there were still people lying on the innermost ground. In such a cold day, those people were lying on the door panel, covered with quilts.
After getting closer, I saw that there were about 20 or 30 people lying on the ground, forming a large area. They were all pale, their lips were pale, and there was a stench that only belonged to the hut.
I have diarrhea.
Thinking that the Yang family sold a pig today, and it was unusually cheap, combined with the sound of crusade from the people around. Li Qinghe suddenly realized that there was something wrong with the pork, and asked why it was so cheap.
"You have to find a doctor to help us treat it." The woman at the front looked angry, "If something happens to my man, I will stay at your house and not leave."
"If you lose your life, you can report to the official."
"And why is this meat so cheap? You still want to sell the pigs for money, real profiteers."
"It's no wonder that your Yang family's business can't go on, and you have blackmailed your heart."
Father Yang seemed to have just come out, bent down to look at the people on the ground, frowned and said, "Diarrhea must be a problem with the meat? My pork is good, and the color and taste are normal. Otherwise, you wouldn't buy it! You can't buy it because of me. If the meat is cheap, it is bad."
The village chief stepped forward, his face turned pale at this time, and he stretched out his hands to cover his stomach, as if in pain, "Then why do so many people who ate your meat have diarrhea? Including me."
Father Yang looked at the large crowd of people in the courtyard, "I can't let them all eat this meat, right? Isn't there so many people who can eat meat all right?"
Li Qinghe, an aunt of the same family, took two steps forward, "That's because we eat less. The meat is eaten for the strong laborers in the family. It's good now, and the meat in your family has become like this. If this person disappears, stay." How will the next group of orphans and widows let us live?"
"No, please hurry up and find a doctor for us. Otherwise... If the head of my family dies, you don't even want to live."
As he said that, he was about to wave his hand to Father Yang's face. Not only that, the collar of Mother Yang over there was already being grabbed by people, and Yang Lanrou was also dragged out of the house.
Father Yang finally let go, "It's okay to ask for a doctor, I'll send someone to ask for it now."
The mother-in-law of the Yang family immediately got into the carriage and left the village. Seeing this, everyone was not as anxious as before. But they didn't stop talking, talking in low voices.
The mother-in-law was very quick, and within a quarter of an hour, she brought the doctor back with two large medicine boxes. It seems that the mother-in-law is still very reliable. Not only did she invite a doctor, but she also talked about the illness of these people and brought all the medicine.
It was a bit cold outside, Li Qinghe wanted to take the child home, the doctor over there began to dispense medicine after taking the pulse, seeing such a large group of people in the yard, it was obvious that there was trouble. He paused and asked, "Who will pay for my consultation fee and medicine?"
"Whoever invites pays? This is another question." Most people said that.
Father Yang's face was ugly, "What's none of my business? My family has a carriage and kindly helped you find a doctor. It's the best of humanity." He looked at the doctor, "Doctor, why are you talking about these people having diarrhea?"
The doctor frowned, "I ate something bad."
"Hey!" The people around were immediately encouraged.
At this time, a woman came out of the house, holding a large plate of fish in her hand, and said loudly, "There must be something wrong with this meat. Their own family doesn't eat it. They even ran to buy fish to eat. The latest fish price Everyone knows that this is taking our big guy's life for him to eat!"
Everyone was so excited that they waved their fists and insisted on Yang's explanation, and the people over there forced the doctor to dispense the medicine.
Li Qinghe withdrew from the crowd, and Zhou Chengkang went home with her, with Zhou's mother behind him.
"It's like this." She shook her head, "There should be something wrong with the meat."
"People don't eat meat for a long time, and suddenly eating too much will cause stomach upset, but there should be time to go to the latrine, so it won't be so serious."
The people just now were lying on the ground, not to mention the hut, they just stood there for a while, the smell there was getting stronger and stronger, the reason why Li Qinghe carried the child home was because he couldn't stand it anymore.
In the end, a farce in the Yang family ended with their family dispensing medicine for everyone, and it lasted until night before everyone gradually left.
Zhang Haiyao still walked this way home, went directly to the outside of the backyard, and knocked on the door of the backyard over there.
After entering the door, he sighed, "It took a few taels of silver to prepare the medicine, not to mention the money for selling pigs, and I paid a lot of money. Many people said that they had diarrhea, and they all prepared the medicine. I can't tell for sure." Someone deliberately took advantage of…”
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Zhou's mother scolded, "It's getting dark, and you still take the child outside, be careful that the child catches a cold, and go home."
She took Zhang Haiyao away, and only Li Qinghe and his wife were left at home. This was the only time a family of three spent the night alone since she gave birth.
At night, Zhou Chengkang took her into his arms and said with a low laugh, "It's just the three of us, it's fine."
As soon as the words were finished, the child in the cot next to the bed began to moan, Zhou Chengkang sat up helplessly and hugged him, "You really know how to tear down your father's platform."
Li Qinghe couldn't help but burst out laughing. With children, there is a lot more excitement.
Having a baby hurts the body. Zhang Haiyao has been raising the baby since she gave birth. She looks good and the child is well-raised. Mei's meat and eggs have not been raised, so she can't do heavy work now.
Therefore, Zhou Chengkang took special care not to let her work, even if it was a full moon, there would be soup for her to cook every day. When sleeping, he sleeps next to her, or he watches over her. If she doesn't need to nurse, he coaxes her by herself.
In the blink of an eye, it was the twelfth lunar month, and the child was two months old. Over there, Zhou's mother found another marriage for Wumei. This time, it was either from another village or from Wang village. The family's surname was Zhao.
Speaking of which, Zhao Wanwan and her father are brothers in the same family, but they are not as wealthy as Zhao Tianfu. The family has only four mu of land, one mu of paddy field, and only son. Both parents are still alive, and one elder sister is already married.
This time because the weather was too cold, Li Qinghe didn't go back to see it, but after two days, the marriage was settled.
Fifth Sister has met her several times, so it's good to settle down, and besides, Zhou's mother will not wrong her daughter.
Therefore, in the middle of the twelfth lunar month, the marriage had passed the Xiaoding, and the dowry had already been given at the end of the twelfth lunar month. The action was quick, and the wedding date was set, March 15th of the next year.
March 15, just after the spring plowing.
Before Li Qinghe saw anyone, Fifth Sister's marriage was settled, and the two were busy selling fish. They went back to Zhou's house this year, but it was only for a meal, so they still had to prepare what they should.
Just after breakfast that day, someone knocked on the door. During this time, people came to buy fish almost every day. Li Qinghe went to open the door and found that she knew the person outside the door.
It's a bit reluctant to say that I know each other, but I only met once. It was He Ji's mother who met Fifth Sister for the first time. She still remembered that He Shi said that if the Zhou family was willing, their family would come to propose marriage.
Fifth Younger Sister has already made a marriage arrangement, so people coming here at this time may not be for Fifth Younger Sister, "Auntie, what do you want?"
Mother He didn't intend to enter the door, she looked towards the pond, "Are there any fish in here?"
People who come to buy fish will basically ask this sentence, that is, customers. Li Qinghe nodded with a smile, "There are more, big and small."
Mother He changed the subject, "I heard that your sister-in-law is engaged?"
"It's settled." When mentioning the marriage, Li Qinghe's smile restrained a little, "Auntie, you have something to say."
It's so cold standing outside.
"At the beginning, I said that I wanted to make a fifth sister for my son, but your family didn't agree, so I didn't think much about it. It's normal to not like it." He Mu's complexion was not very good, "But the former I ran into your aunt two days ago, and she said that the marriage failed because my son said he had a sweetheart."
Li Qinghe raised his eyebrows, "Isn't it?"
"Yes." Mother He looked ugly, "So I came to the door today and wanted you to apologize to your mother-in-law on my behalf. I really don't know that bastard still can't let it go, and ah, that girl is married now , your family..."
She wanted to keep her here again, but Li Qinghe interrupted her, "My fifth sister's wedding date is March 15th next year." The wedding date is fixed, and there is no reason to change it.
Mother He sighed slightly, "That's right, that kid from the Zhao family also liked that little goblin surnamed Yang back then. My son said it frankly, but the one surnamed Zhao didn't say anything... I just kindly came here to remind you."
Compared with He He who frankly said that he has a sweetheart, if the Zhao family really likes others in his heart as He's mother said, but doesn't say it, he must have ulterior motives.
"I won't hide it from you. The Zhou family was not good before, but after the brothers married your wives, life in the village is considered to be good. Especially you, the pond produces a lot every year. If you want to There are many people who are related to your family. At the beginning, I also..." Mother He said calmly, "I believe that the Zhao family chose the fifth sister, and I should think so."
"These words came out of my mouth and into your ears. I have good intentions, so don't betray me." Mother He instructed, before leaving, she said, "Think about it in your own heart."
