"There are many egg-laying chickens at home, and there is no shortage of that old hen." Xiuxiu added.

This time, Li Wei insisted, "No, no, no, Xiu Xiu, you can't kill that old hen. It was raised by my mother for a long time, just for you to have a baby and eat it during confinement."

"If you kill him for me to eat, I won't kill him fast. I will do what I say!"

Xiu Xiu was dumbfounded when she heard this, but when she reacted, she was deeply moved.

"Xiaowei, you are so good to me, you are thinking of me all this time!"

"Fool, you are my wife, and your baby is my baby. I treat you as a matter of course!"

Xiuxiu nodded vigorously, and was once again moved to the point where her eyes were red and her nose was sore.

"Okay, then don't kill that old hen. Xiaowei, you should sleep for a while. Even if you can't fall asleep, you should close your eyes and rest your mind. I'm going out first. Call me if you need anything."

Xiuxiu came to the main room and found that her sister-in-law was not there, and only her mother-in-law was there.

"Mom, where is Qiao'er?"

"I went to do laundry. How is Xiaowei?"

"Xiaowei is okay. Mom, Xiaowei has a secret headache that is inherited in the family. How did you treat him in the past?"

"ah?"

Li Weiniang was stunned by the question and her eyes rolled.

Xiuxiu was preoccupied with Li Wei's headache and didn't pay attention to the change in Li's mother's eyes.

Mother Li quickly thought of a countermeasure and said: "Well, actually, there is no need to take medicine, and the medicine is not good. It is hereditary, and it is not fatal. It will hurt half of your life when it attacks!"

Xiu Xiu frowned, it was very uncomfortable to lose half of his life in pain.

"Under normal circumstances, I let him lie down and rest in the house, and tie something on his head to keep out the wind!"

"The other thing is, give him something good to eat to replenish his energy."

Xiu Xiu asked: "Do you have Gastrodia elata at home?"

Mother Li was stunned for a moment, "What is Gastrodia elata?"

Xiu Xiu was surprised, "Mother-in-law, Gastrodia elata is a medicinal material, specially used to treat headaches. Why, you must not know this, right?"

Li Weiniang looked a little embarrassed at first.

But then she snorted, patted the dust on her legs, and said mockingly: "Hey, we poor families in the countryside, who have no money and no vision, don't know what gastrodia elata is!"

"When you are sick and in pain, you can go to sleep by yourself, eat a hot egg, and drink a bowl of porridge brought to you. Even if you are blessed, how can you dare to think about the things you have and don't have?"

Xiuxiu heard the sarcasm in her mother-in-law's words and felt a little embarrassed.

"Mother-in-law, I didn't mean that. I didn't mean to look down on you."

Sorry, as Cao Bamei said, this Xiuxiu is really a straight-tempered person. She drags her intestines to the ground and doesn't even say anything roundabout.

"It's okay. It's not uncommon for people like us to be looked down upon. Who made us have no money? My Xiaowei also committed evil. He was born into a family like ours and was wronged..." Mother Li said, raising her head

He raised his sleeves and pretended to wipe his tears.

"Mother-in-law, please don't say that. I'm not a wealthy young lady. I grew up in a village! I was born the same as Xiaowei."

"No, no, no, you are the eldest lady of the old Yang family, the number one scholar is your uncle, the general who protects the country is your uncle, and the general's wife is your biological aunt. You are different from our Xiaowei. If you don't dislike him, it's him.

It’s our good fortune, and it’s also our Li family’s good fortune!”

Xiuxiu doesn't want to continue to argue with her mother-in-law on these topics, because these topics are of no use in alleviating and treating Li Wei's old headache!

It's basically nonsense!

However, Xiuxiu also made an important point out of it.

That is, although this old headache disease cannot be cured, it is hereditary, and it is not fatal. It is just painful.

But if you rest more, eat better, and replenish your energy, it will help.

And there are not many chickens and ducks in the house. There are only five or six chickens together. They have to be kept for the New Year and for her to give birth to children and confinement...

So, Xiuxiu said to Li's mother: "Mother-in-law, you stay with Xiaowei and take care of him. I will take the time to go back to my parents' house."

"Ah? Xiuxiu, you want to go back to your parents' home? What's the matter? Do you want to ask Xiaowei to go back with you?" Li Weiniang stood up and asked with concern on her face.

The daughter-in-law was pregnant with a baby, and without Xiaowei accompanying her during this back and forth, Mother Li was really a little worried.

But if you forcefully call out Xiaowei, wouldn't that reveal the truth?

"Mom, no need. I'll be back as soon as I go. I'll be back before lunch." Xiu Xiu said again.

"Xiu, your mother's side is going to open a mountain today, and there probably won't be many people at home. What are you going to do when you go back? How about another day? Wait for Xiaowei's head to be better some other day, and let him accompany you!"

"No mom, I have the key to my mom's house. I'll come back as soon as I go."

"Hey, Xiu, wait for Qiao'er. When she comes back from bathing, ask her to go with you..."

Xiu Xiu walked out without looking back and waved her hands at the same time.

Li Weiniang had no choice but to go back to the West House to find Li Wei.

Li Wei said: "It's okay. Nothing can go wrong under the blue sky."

Mother Li said: "I also know that nothing will go wrong, but I am worried about her stomach..."

Li Wei smiled: "It's been almost three months, it's okay. You see, she usually cooks at home, sweeps the yard, waters the vegetable garden, feeds chickens and ducks, and doesn't do any kind of housework? Isn't it all good?

Isn’t it? It’s just a few steps, it’s nothing!”

Li Weiniang nodded, "I hope so. I'm just worried about my eldest grandson. As long as the eldest grandson is fine, that's fine!"

Li Wei yawned and turned over: "Mom, let me go back to sleep, you go out!"

"Hey, go to sleep!"

Soon, Li Wei's snoring sounded in the west room.

Li Weiniang was not idle either. She sat down behind the spinning wheel in the corner of the hall and started spinning today...

Let us say that Xiu Xiu left Lijia Village and walked along the river bank towards Changping Village.

The river dam is at the foot of the mountain. At this season, the river water is almost drying up, and the slopes on both sides of the river dam are covered with dry grass.

The river smelled fishy like mud and rotten waterweed.

Xiuxiu took out a handkerchief and covered her mouth and nose, and walked slowly towards Changping Village. She met many people along the way, some she recognized and some she didn't. Those who recognized her stopped to say hello, and those who didn't recognized them stopped to say hello.

Yes, you can guess by looking at the hatchet and pole in the other person's hand that they are heading into the mountains.

Today, Changping Village opened the mountain, and relatives and friends from ten miles and eight villages came to help. This is allowed.

At this time, it is time for every household to work hard for manpower.

And, let’s put it this way, your daughter-in-law and son-in-law came over to help cut the mountains and chop firewood. There was a lot of firewood, and you might even need to spread it out for your daughter-in-law and son-in-law to take with you when you leave.
