"But, what should your husband's family do? They are so busy that you don't work at home but instead come back to your parents' house to help..."
Chen Lishu smiled: "My sister-in-law is at home on vacation. It will only be a few days, and they won't say anything."
Wu Chunmei nodded in agreement after hearing what she said.
That's how things were settled.
Chen Lishu went home and briefly talked to Li Xiulan and Gu Shoufu. When they heard that Mrs. Chen was sick, Chen Lishu went home to help take care of her for a few days. They both agreed. Li Xiulan also wanted to buy two cans and go to Chen's house to have a look, but Chen Lishu stopped her.
Came down.
The next day, Chen Lishu packed up two changes of clothes and went to Chen's house.
As soon as they entered the hospital, they heard Mrs. Chen cursing. Not long after, Chen Lifei and several children came out crying. When they saw her coming, they immediately saw their relatives and all gathered around them.
"Sister, grandma asked us to go shopping again, and she scolded us when we said we had no money." Chen Lifei cried.
Chen Lishu lowered her head in comfort and wiped away her tears: "Where is your second sister?"
Chen Lijuan: "Second sister went to the river to wash clothes."
"The eldest sister is here. You go and find your second sister."
When the young ones heard that they no longer had to wait on Mrs. Chen, they all nodded happily and ran away.
"Hey, how are you feeling today?" Chen Lishu walked in with a smile and put the bundle in her hand into the cabinet. It seemed that she really planned to take care of her.
Mrs. Chen was happy and opened her drooped eyelids: "I want to pee, go and bring me the urinal."
Chen Lishu was happy: "Mistress, let's not tell secrets. I know that you are not sick. You just want to torment my family to vent your anger. I will tell you the truth. I came here just to take care of you directly."
"
In the countryside, it is said that whoever is served will be sent to die. When Mrs. Chen heard this, she immediately turned her face and said: "You little bastard, what are you talking about? I'm your mother, get out of here and go get those girls for me."
Call me over here, I don't need you to serve me anymore."
Chen Lishu moved a stool and sat down by the window, and took out a book along the way: "Mistress, everyone asked me to send them away. We are the only ones at home. If you want to do something, you can do it yourself. I will read for a while. You are the best."
It’s better not to make any noise, otherwise I’ll hit someone if I’m upset, so I’ve prepared everything so that no one can see it.”
As she spoke, Chen Lishu took out the long needle used in the soles of Li Xiulana's shoes. It shone with cold light in the sun. Chen Lishu smiled at Old Mrs. Chen and showed her white teeth that also shone with cold light. She said gloomily: "This thing will leave no trace when it pierces the body.
Do you want to try milk?"
Mrs. Chen looked at the needle and then at her and suddenly felt her scalp tightening. She had no doubts about what this little animal said. If she didn't listen to her, she would really dare to pierce it.
Seeing that she was honest, Chen Lishu started to lower her head and read.
"I'm hungry, go and cook for me." Seeing that it was already noon, Mrs. Chen's stomach growled and she couldn't help but say something.
Chen Lishu raised her hand and looked at her watch. It was almost twelve o'clock. Although she was not very hungry, she thought that the children must be hungry. She must be afraid of Mrs. Chen if they haven't come back yet.
Thinking of this, Chen Lishu got up and went to the kitchen to make some cornmeal noodles. She happened to have some cabbage at home that she could cut and sprinkle on.
Soon she washed her hands and started cooking. As soon as the noodles were taken out of the pot, Chen Liyuan and Chen Lifei entered the courtyard carrying the basin, followed by several small ones.
Smelling the aroma of the food, everyone sniffed their little noses and came in.
"Sister, what delicious food did you cook? It tastes so good." Chen Lijuan helped Chen Lizi in, who had just learned to walk, and looked in the direction of the stove and couldn't help but swallow her saliva.
"Sister made cornmeal noodles and put vegetables in them. You guys go and wash your hands quickly. We are going to eat now."
The few children responded obediently, washed their hands and went to wait at the table. Chen Lishu quickly brought the basins up and started serving food to everyone.
"Second sister, why are you going?" Chen Lishu asked when she saw Chen Liyuan standing up with a bowl.
"I'll deliver the milk." Although I was extremely reluctant, I still had to face it.
"No need to send it. If she gets hungry, she will come down and eat by herself." Chen Lishu stopped the person and asked her to sit down and eat in peace.
Chen Liyuan always listened to Chen Lishu's words. She really didn't give it away if she said she wouldn't. She sat down and started eating.
Old Mrs. Chen was still sitting on the kang stretching her neck, waiting for someone to bring her food. As a result, she was almost finished eating outside and no one paid attention to her. She was hungry and angry, but just getting on the kang proved that she was just faking her illness.
In the end, he could not get off the bed and was hungry until Chen Mandun and his wife came back.
The moment she saw Chen Mandun, Mrs. Chen had never felt that her second son was so pleasing to her eyes: "Mantun, hurry up, get me a bowl of water." Mrs. Chen said in a hoarse voice.
Chen Lishu sat in front of her all day long. She didn't give her any food or water, and didn't care about her urine or feces. She insisted on forcing her to the ground. She also wanted to compete with her, so she just lay on the kang for a whole day without moving.
When Chen Mandun heard what she said, he quickly poured a bowl of water over. Mrs. Chen drank the bowl in one breath and asked another bowl to be poured. When she was full, she started calling Wu Chunmei again.
Chen Lishu saw everything while carrying her a urinal and did not stop it. She knew in her heart that even if they were not allowed to do it, they would not be able to stop it.
After settling everything, Mrs. Chen finally regained her composure and began to complain to Chen Mandun and his wife: "...Kick her out quickly. I don't need her to serve me anymore. She is determined to send me away!"
When Chen Mandun and Wu Chunmei looked at her, Chen Lishu looked aggrieved: "Mom and Dad, you don't know that my grandma despises me. You can ask Liyuan and the others how good I am to her."
Chen Lishu had warned her a long time ago. When she heard what Chen Lishu said, she immediately started talking: "Mom and Dad, my eldest sister is very good at breast feeding, and she also makes delicious food for her."
"I also went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy canned food."
"return……"
When Old Mrs. Chen listened to the lies told by a few little ones, she suddenly felt a lump in her chest and her face turned the color of pig liver.
Chen Mandun and his wife had no doubts about him, and even felt that it was rare for their eldest daughter to be so filial.
During dinner, Mrs. Chen had been hungry all day and had forgotten to pick and choose. She picked up the rice bowl and started gobbling it down. It was a rare opportunity for the family to take a break for a meal.
In order to make it easier to take care of Old Mrs. Chen, Chen Lishu specially sent several children to Chen Mantun's house and slept next to Old Mrs. Chen at night.
In the middle of the night, Mrs. Chen repeated her old tricks. As soon as she opened her mouth to shout, she suddenly felt a stabbing pain in her arm.
In the darkness, Chen Lishu's two bright black eyes, like will-o'-the-wisps, came closer and said in a faint voice: "Mistress, if you dare to make any noise again, I will take some other measures."
Chen Lishu raised the pillow in her hand as she spoke: "You said you would just go like this if I didn't control my strength. Everyone knows that you are seriously ill and you shouldn't think about other things."
