Chapter 3 Death in battle

The place where grandma lived was much larger than the other rooms, but maybe because she didn’t want to accept her death or something, Xia Huai didn’t open it for a long time after returning home.

This time, she plucked up the courage and pushed open the door.

"."

Xia Huai stared blankly at everything around him, feeling extremely shocked.

The house was divided into two parts. The place where grandma rested occupied only one-fifth, and the remaining four-fifths were used to place other things.

The first thing you see is rows of wooden shelves that look like medicine shelves. The shelves are very high, but are divided into layers of storage grids in the middle.

Xia Huai approached and opened a small grid, which was filled with medicinal materials.

"Is this ginseng?" Xia Huai exclaimed.

Although she is not good at medicine, she at least has some knowledge of familiar medicinal materials.

The more precious medicinal materials are Ganoderma lucidum, ginseng, deer antler, and Cordyceps sinensis. They are all available here.

If we were to say what we were most afraid of in such backward ancient times, it must be the fear of being sick and having no cure!

Although Chinese medicine is not as effective as Western medicine, it is still much better than myrrh!

Looking at the rows of medicinal grids, Xia Huai walked excitedly to the place where her grandma slept.

The place where grandma slept was very simple, just a wooden bed with a bedside table beside the bed and a painting hanging on the bedside table.

For some reason, Xia Huai always felt a little strange when staring at the painting. Just when he was about to reach out and touch it, he heard an anxious call in his ear.

"Huai'er, Huai'er, wake up quickly!" Zhou Huiniang called out to her daughter while wiping her tears with a handkerchief.

"Dashan family, I know you are anxious, but don't be so anxious first." The old man carrying the medicine box on the side persuaded, stroking his beard: "Your girl is just exhausted, let her rest, and feed her some rice when she wakes up.

Just water.”

But Zhou Huiniang didn't listen. She was thinking that her daughter returned to her parents' home in misery with her baby, without any servants or husband. She thought too much, and she couldn't help but think about the worst. Then she saw her daughter lying there in a daze.

On the ground, my emotions were really unbearable.

The house at home was completely destroyed by the earthquake, so I could only find some dry straw and spread a piece of clean cloth for my daughter to lie down on.

The more Zhou Huiniang thought about it, the sadder she became, and she couldn't help but cry louder.

Three-year-old Rui Geer also pulled on Xia Huai's sleeves with a nervous and fearful look on his face, but he didn't cry and was actually very well-behaved.

Suddenly, Brother Rui pointed at Xia Huai with a surprised look on his face: "Mother, mother is awake!"

Xia Dashan, who had been silent all this time, quickly stepped forward. Xia Huai looked at her father as soon as she opened her eyes.

".father?"

"Hey!" Xia Dashan responded happily, his big eyes narrowed with laughter.

"Huai'er, you're finally awake. I'm really going to be scared to death by you." Zhou Huiniang was crying and laughing at the same time, her mood was a bit confusing.

Xia Huai stood up and stretched out his hands towards Brother Rui, holding his son in his arms. Just when he was about to say something, a thin but unpleasant voice came from his ears.

"Xiao Huai, why are you back?"

Everyone turned around subconsciously and saw that it was Wu Xiaorong, the second daughter-in-law of the eldest family.

Xia Huai looked straight at Wu Xiaorong, she still had an impression of this second cousin-in-law.

When she got married, Wu Xiaorong had been married to Lao Xia's family for three years and had only one daughter, Mingzhu.

Xia Huai looked around and made sure that her second cousin-in-law had still not accomplished anything in the three years since she was married, and then she suddenly realized something.

Maybe the original owner couldn't see it or figure it out, but from the perspective of a bystander, Xia Huai could see that Wu Xiaorong was somewhat patriarchal and petty. Even though she was a slightly better-looking village girl, she always felt that she was not marrying well.

.

The second cousin Xia Qiao is a lazy guy who spends a lot of time, and the second cousin's sister-in-law has been unable to give birth to a son for several years, so it's not easy for her to lose her mind!

Looking at Wu Xiaorong's random glances, Xia Huai knew that what this second cousin-in-law asked was not a good idea.

Sure enough, Zhou Huiniang's face darkened: "Mingzhu, mother, what do you mean by this?"

Wu Xiaorong lowered her head in panic, twisting her clothes subconsciously with her hands: "Third Aunt, I, I don't mean anything else, I just care about Xiao Huai."

Zhou Huiniang snorted coldly: "Who knows whether I care or not? Okay, my daughter just woke up, don't be surrounded by so many people!"

Although everyone was curious about Xia Huai carrying the child back to her parents' home, they did not dare to offend Zhou Huiniang.

Even though Zhou Huiniang looks gentle and gentle, she is actually a tough one. Anyone who offends her will not be able to make it easy for anyone!

In the end, only Mr. and Mrs. Xia Dashan, Mrs. Feng and the old man carrying the medicine box were left.

"Old Doctor Zhang, I'm really troubling you. Let's go, I'll take you back." Mrs. Feng forced a smile on her serious face towards the old man.

Old doctor Zhang laughed and did not refuse.

After they left, Xia Dashan asked Xia Huai anxiously: "Daughter, what's going on? Why are you and the child back? Where is Jiahe?"

Mentioning Shen Jiahe, Xia Huai's face looked a little startled and bitter.

That short-lived husband of hers

Seeing that her daughter was sad, Zhou Huiniang hurriedly beat Xia Dashan: "You are sick, you didn't see your daughter." While beating her, she hinted at Xia Dashan with her eyes.

Zhou Huiniang's action of beating Xia Dashan was not small. Xia Huai came back from her sadness and saw her father enduring the pain. She couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Mom, don't blame my father. In fact, there is nothing wrong."

When Xia Huai finished speaking, Zhou Huiniang gave a short scream: "Isn't this what you call nothing wrong?!"

Xia Huai was actually sad, not because of any friendship with Shen Jiahe. It was probably due to some of the emotions of the original owner, as well as feeling sorry for the humble status of women in this era, and worrying about where she would go in the future.

According to her recollection, although Shen Jiahe was good-looking, he seemed to be okay with her. But they only got together for one night, and Shen Jiahe was recalled to the front line to fight.

It should be said that girls in the village generally have no chance to get married. Even if they do get married, marrying into the town is considered high.

But not Xia Huai, she is a typical phoenix flying on the branches in the village.

Her father was a street worker and once rescued Shen Jiahe when he was doing business. After Shen Jiahe recovered from his injury, he gave Xia Dashan a pile of money.

Xia Dashan was shocked but refused the money. He had a long-term vision and wanted to make friends with Shen Jiahe.

Unexpectedly, later on, when this boy saw his daughter, he begged for his favor, and then abandoned his expensive bride price and abducted her away!

Of course, the inside story is not that simple. In the eyes of the villagers, it is a great thing for Xia Huai to marry a rich, young and promising man!

After her daughter got married, it was not only difficult to return home because the two places were too remote, Xia Huai even did not return to her parents' home for several years.

There are people in the village who are envious and jealous and can't help but say some mean words.

This one is satirizing Xia Dashan's family for selling their daughters, and that one is satirizing Xia Huai who is so blinded by wealth that he doesn't even look down on Xiushui Village!

Faced with this, Xia Dashan and his wife remained silent.

They had asked their daughter for her opinion, and she was happy, and Shen Jiahe was happy, and Shen Jiahe was a capable person. Can they stop it?

Xia Dashan's fists were clenched tightly, and his face, which had become darker after years of running around, became even darker: "This Shen Jiahe keeps saying that he will take good care of you, but..."

Zhou Huiniang was also very sad, but she still managed to persuade her husband: "Da Shan, forget it, he, it's not easy for him either."

He sacrificed his life for the country at a young age. Naturally, he did a terrible job for the family. But for the country, he did nothing wrong.
