Chapter 8
Yang's noisy voice came from outside, and her words were vulgar, "I think you have been sleeping with a man for a few days, and you have gained the courage? You actually dare to ask me to come here in person!"
Du Xuan is innocent no matter in her past or present life.
So after listening to Yang's words, Du Xuan felt that she was about to get cancer in her ears.
She took the bowl and walked out.
Yang glared at her and raised her eyebrows when she saw her coming out, "Yo? Are you still in the mood to eat?"
"Auntie, what are you talking about? I finally got some food, how can I not eat it?"
Ms. Yang snorted coldly, "The whole family has been embarrassed by you!"
Du Xuan pretended to be puzzled, "Auntie, you have wronged me, what did I do?"
"Don't make excuses! I can see that your mouth is much sharper than before. I heard that you even hit people?"
Yang said angrily.
She was actually making use of the topic. They failed to catch up with Wang Mazi's mule cart, and Du Xuan didn't help to stop it.
She was almost exhausted from walking. As soon as she returned to the village, she heard that Du Xuan had beaten the daughter of the Xu family. Yang didn't care what happened and immediately wanted to teach Du Xuan a lesson.
"Auntie, life is not easy these days. Xu Li actually wants to steal the rabbits that Qi Yan brought back. I plan to use these prey to exchange for some winter food, so as not to bring trouble to you and my uncle. But
Xu Li wants to covet this prey."
"How dare she!" Yang had only listened once when she came back, and had no idea what was going on. Now when she heard what Du Xuan said, she immediately became furious.
Du Xuan sighed softly, "I think she probably knew that I wanted to ask Liangjun for money for hunting, so she wanted to stand up for Liangjun."
"That little prodigal son of the Xu family! Just like her mother when she was young, she wants to show off! She also wants to stand up for others, is she worthy of it?!" Yang cursed with spittle flying around her voice.
Although the earthen house where Du Xuan lives is relatively remote, there are other families nearby, all from the same village. I am afraid that Yang's news will spread soon.
"So I couldn't hold it back and beat her."
“揍得好!”杨氏这种爱贪便宜的人,哪能容许被别人贪了便宜去?这会子注意力完全被转移了,哪里还顾得上自己来这一趟原本是为了教训
Du Xuan’s?
Yang also remembered what Du Xuan had promised her, and said, "I will go to Xue Liangjun's house now to ask for money."
"Hey, Auntie, walk slowly." Du Xuan said with a smile.
Yang glanced at Du Xuan's bowl and saw that there was nothing good in her bowl, just a little brown rice and some fish.
Although meat and vegetables are expensive these days, meat and vegetables with little oil and water like fish will not make Yang's mentality too unbalanced.
Only then did Yang leave with satisfaction.
Du Xuan turned back to the kitchen, took a sip of the delicious fish soup, picked up a piece of soft Shan Rui skirt and put it into her mouth, her eyes narrowed with satisfaction.
After eating, Xiaobao fumbled over and was grabbed by Du Xuan and fed him a bowl of Shanrui soup. His little face turned a little red from drinking the warm soup and his lips were shiny.
"Mom, let me wash the dishes."
"Okay, I'll do it." Du Xuan quickly washed the dishes and chopsticks, "I'll boil the water and give you a bath later."
Xiaobao blinked in surprise, "Aren't you going to wash in the river?"
His mother never helped him take a bath, his father always took him to the river to wash himself.
"It's cold at night, and it will be troublesome if the wind chills."
After a while, Du Xuan mixed the water in the wooden basin and couldn't help but frown when she saw the bruises all over his body. These were all new injuries. If you wash them with hot water, they might be aggravated.
I can only wash it quickly and then think of a solution. Xiaobao doesn't care whether the bruise will worsen or not, he is very happy. Taking a hot bath and soaking in the basin is so fun.
He just didn't want to get up, blinking his big unfocused eyes, which looked particularly endearing.
Du Xuan sighed softly and could only say, "If you behave well, I will make a small wooden boat for you to play with in the bath someday."
The small wooden boat undoubtedly attracted Xiaobao, but what attracted him even more was the meaning behind Du Xuan's words. Xiaobao asked in a low voice, "...Mom, will you help me wash it in the future?"
"Otherwise. You can't see, can you clean yourself?" Du Xuan patted his butt, "Okay, get up."
This is the first time that Xiaobao feels blind, and it is not without its benefits. At least, my mother can help him bathe!
Xiaobao was given new clothes. The other clothes Du Xuan bought today were all materials used for making clothes. Only Xiaobao's clothes were ready-made clothes. Although the materials were not expensive, they were not cheap either.
Du Xuan felt very sad when paying, but there was nothing she could do. She had to let her child get pregnant and change her clothes.
Xiaobao was particularly surprised, "New...! New clothes?"
"Yeah. So dress well and walk carefully. If you fall and get torn, it will turn into rags." Du Xuan said, hoping that the child would be more careful because of the bruises on his body caused by careless walking.
It hurts to look at it.
"I, I must be careful and walk well!" Xiaobao's face was flushed with joy.
Du Xuan originally planned to apply medicine to the bruises on his body, but a sudden feeling of fatigue swept over her.
In an instant, Du Xuan could hardly open her eyes. She carried Xiaobao to the door of the main room, put the bottle of medicinal oil into his hand, and said softly to him, "Let your father heal your wounds."
Apply some medicine and go to bed early."
"Where's mother?" Xiaobao faced her.
Du Xuan touched his head and said, "Mom is tired today and wants to go to bed early."
Xiaobao's expression was a little disappointed, but he nodded obediently, "Okay."
Du Xuan then walked towards the side room.
Fortunately, their residence had two rooms, otherwise Du Xuan really didn't know what to do.
There was nothing in the side room except a bed board set up on a few piles of bricks. The bed board was covered with a layer of dry straw, and there was no need for a mattress or quilt.
But Du Xuan couldn't care less. This sudden feeling of exhaustion was so weird that as soon as she lay down on the bed, she fell into an almost coma-like sleep.
Du Xuan, who was sleeping, did not know that the piece of jade-like object that she took out from Shan Rui's belly was red and hot at the place where it disappeared in her palm.
On her index finger, a dark red ring with a simple style slowly emerged, flickering with a dark red light as her breathing rose and fell.
In the main room, Qi Yan was slowly applying medicated oil to the bruises on Xiaobao's body. The child was wearing brand new clothes. He was very careful and told him repeatedly, "Dad, please don't get the medicated oil on my new clothes."
Come on."
"Yeah." Qi Yan responded in a deep voice.
When Du Xuan sent the child to the door of the main house, he saw that the child was clean and wearing brand-new clothes, while her own clothes were patched with patches and were very old.
After rubbing the medicated oil, Xiaobao was already drowsy.
Qi Yan thought for a moment, picked up the remaining half of the bottle of medicated oil, and walked out of the house.
