Li Jingtai did not dare to knock on the door directly. Instead, he squatted outside the door and waited. In the evening, people collecting herbs would come to deliver the herbs. When the door opened, he slipped in by himself.
After so many times, Li Jingtai was particularly afraid of Fang Qingshi, but the temptation to follow Fang Qingshi was also very strong. It was true that his mother was his mother, but her mother was too mean to him.
Having said that, my mother is mean to everyone except herself.
At dusk, the people collecting herbs came back in groups. Li Jingtai stood up and stretched his numb legs. When the door of Fang Qingshi's house opened and more and more people gathered at the door, he came over.
The next step is to enter the courtyard.
Li Cuihua saw Li Jingtai out of the corner of her eye, and took a step across to block him: "Jingtai, what are you going to do?"
"Auntie, I heard that my sister-in-law is back." Li Jingtai said with a sad face: "I have something to ask my sister-in-law, please let me in."
Li Cuihua has been here for a day or two. In other words, it has been quiet these days. Isn't there less turmoil in the Li family? Now the boss is really busy and doesn't want anyone to disturb her. Thinking of this, she said: "You are next to me."
Wait a minute, Miss Ah Shi has no time to spare right now."
In the crowd, Nan curled his lips and muttered in a low voice: "We are from the same family, why are you pretending to be such a big clove of garlic?"
After hearing this, Mrs. Pan quickly touched Nanshi with the crook of her elbow, which meant to tell her not to talk too much. During these days, if nothing else, she could save some private money by going to the mountains to collect herbs.
In addition, Fang Qingshi was not often at home, and Mrs. Pan and Mrs. Zheng were both burning incense and thanking God. The sisters-in-law knew as if their sister-in-law's mouth would cause big trouble sooner or later.
"What are you doing?" The Nan family has long been dissatisfied with Pan's and Zheng's behavior. They keep their tail between their legs all day long and teach others about herbal medicines. Fang Qingshi is paid to teach people how to recognize herbal medicines.
Fang Qingshi accepted it, but the two of them worked for Fang Qingshi worthless and in vain. They were so stupid that they couldn't just mutter to themselves?
Hearing Nan's tone, Mrs. Pan quickly said, "Sister-in-law, I can't stand firm."
"Is it because you haven't stood firm or your conscience is biased? Do you think you are very popular now? Are you starting to stop caring about what I say?" Nan asked angrily.
Pan was immediately embarrassed and didn't know what to say.
Mrs. Zheng couldn't stand it anymore and asked, "Sister-in-law, what are you doing? Mother Chunqiang said she couldn't stand still. Isn't it embarrassing for the whole family to be so noisy?"
"What's the matter with you?" Nan's face darkened, and she looked at Zheng: "You two still know that we are a family? I don't see anyone pretending to be capable all day long. How can you accept a disciple if you are so capable?
One family will give you five hundred coins!"
Although Mrs. Zheng usually doesn't like to talk much, she is not a temperless person. She narrowed her eyes and said, "Sister-in-law, what do you mean? We live in the same village. After all, we are all relatives with broken bones and connected tendons. Chun and I
What's wrong with Qiang Niang helping everyone recognize herbal medicine? It's a good thing for anyone to earn an extra ten cents. According to you, we must be like you. We know something and want to keep it in our nest, for fear that others will learn from it.
just go?"
Nan was stunned by the rebuke. She couldn't believe that her second daughter-in-law, who was usually the most amiable, dared to yell at her like this. When she saw that everyone around her was staring at her with unkind eyes, she immediately pointed at Zheng angrily: "You
This is a mouth that needs to be torn apart!"
"Second sister-in-law, stop talking, we are still in a hurry to go home and cook." Mrs. Pan didn't want to make a joke between her sisters-in-law, so she pulled Mrs. Zheng and hid aside.
Fang Qingshi, who was giving Chu Ren and others instructions on how to adjust the fragrance, stood up and said, "You all have a try. The spices are ready and set aside. I'll come back to check."
Chu Ren, the four respectful ones should be.
Fang Qingshi opened the door and walked out. He saw Li Cuihua seriously addressing herself, Zhou Ling keeping accounts, and Wang Ying giving money. His own people were not affected at all. Then he saw Li Jingtai standing awkwardly in the corner and walked up to Li Cuihua.
After looking at it, he stood still: "Everyone has become proficient in collecting herbs these days. It is also the slack time for farming. You can take your family members into the mountains and check your own herbs. It will also save time by going here."
Everyone should be laughing.
"There are so many people gathering herbs. Sister-in-law Cuihua can't handle it all by herself. The second aunt and the third aunt help each other. If you overdo one herb, you'll get back a pound of herb for your hard-earned money. If something goes wrong, you two will be responsible." Fang Qing
Shi said.
Mrs. Zheng was very angry, and Mrs. Pan was also in a bad mood. When she heard this, her eyes lit up immediately. She hurriedly came over and smiled and bent down: "Don't worry, A'shi, we both come back early every day. We would rather collect less medicine."
Something will go wrong.”
Fang Qingshi nodded: "That's all for the hard work, my two aunts."
"It's not hard, it's not hard." Zheng and Pan said in unison, why is it so hard to make money? You have to bend over to pick up the money.
Ignoring the livid Nan, he walked up to Li Jingtai and asked, "What's the matter? Even if I'm not at home, I've sent all the food and drinks to you, right?"
"Yes, sister-in-law, I just heard that you are back." Li Jingtai had too many things on his mind and was young, so he raised his sleeves and wiped away his tears.
Fang Qingshi nodded: "Come in with me."
"Well, well." Li Jingtai followed Fang Qingshi into the house.
Nan spat out the thick phlegm on the ground: "Bah! It's no use to be a villain!"
Li Cuihua raised her eyelids and looked at Nan. She smiled and said nothing. Why did she care about a stupid person? Ah Shi's face was almost swollen by her, and she was an idiot who didn't even know it!
After entering the room, Fang Qingshi asked Li Jingtai to sit down: "Tell me, what's going on?"
"The second brother is gone." Li Jingtai couldn't help crying when he thought of his current home: "A few days ago, my mother went to Qinghe Mansion to find the eldest sister and the second sister. She brought back money and some old clothes. She scolded her at home every day.
I didn’t say anything, but I thought she was sick and had vomited several times.”
Fang Qingshi frowned slightly. Is Mr. Zhou sick? He almost stopped laughing when he thought about it. He couldn't possibly be sick. Trouble is coming outside Mr. Zhou. If his guess is correct, Mr. Zhou is pregnant. But this matter
I don't want to get involved myself, I just watch the fun.
As for Li Jingtai, just because he is young now does not mean that he is a kind person. He did many evil things in his previous life. No matter how pitiful he is now, he will not feel sympathy: "Your second brother will come back.
I'm very busy here, please go back."
"Sister-in-law, I want to be at your house. I'm not afraid that my mother will beat me and scold me, and she won't let me eat." Li Jingtai wiped away his tears: "She asked me to come, and she also asked me to go to Qinghe Mansion tomorrow."
Fang Qingshi poured herself a bowl of water: "You also said that she is sick. It would be unfilial if you don't serve her at home. Tomorrow you go to Qinghe Mansion to discuss it with Sister Xiangzhi. If she is sick, you have to see a doctor, right?"
"Yeah." Li Jingtai lowered his head. He knew that Fang Qingshi didn't want him, so he didn't dare to say anything. He was silent for a long time without seeing Fang Qingshi speak, so he could only stand up: "Sister-in-law, I'm back."
Fang Qingshi nodded and watched Li Jingtai walk out dejectedly. She narrowed her eyes slightly. She found that her heart was already as cold as iron. No matter how hard she was like this, she couldn't develop a heart like she had in her previous life.
Let's be a white-eyed wolf.
A carriage stopped at the door of Fang Qingshi's house. Li Jingtai happened to walk to the gate and looked at the fat woman who got off the carriage in surprise. She was white and fat. She didn't know what kind of powder she used. She felt like she could withstand the wind.
It smells like three miles away, and it's a bit smoky when you're so close.
Everyone at the door was also looking at Ouyang Hong. Why didn't she look like a serious person in her outfit?
