The medical center is not big and there are so many people seeing doctors that they cannot stay at all.

Su could only ask him to rest for a while. Although Li Laosi was awake, he still had a lot to buy.

Seeing how pitiful she was, the medicine boy agreed to rest for another half an hour.

Taking this opportunity, Su took Li Yao to the streets.

The doctor had paid money and spent five taels on medical treatment and medicine, but she still had three hundred coins given by kind people in the village.

What happened today was a complete fallout with the Li family. She knew Mrs. Li's character and probably wouldn't care about their food and drink for a long time.

So, she must buy some food.

The fourth child needs to maintain his health, and his diet should be more refined.

After thinking about it in my mind, I went directly to the food store.

Li Yao saw an ancient market town for the first time, and he was somewhat looking forward to it.

But the people setting up stalls on the roadside were all downcast and disgraced.

Looking at what they were buying and selling, Li Yao was disappointed.

Sigh, so poor!

Hey, she forgot that she is even poorer now!

Mingyuan Kingdom was not poor at first, but in the past few years, the emperor's health became poor. All parties have become restless, and coupled with three consecutive years of natural disasters, farmers have not harvested much.

This year it’s even worse, not a drop of rain has fallen in two months.

Qingshan Village is located in a place neither south nor north. Rice is mainly grown here, and heating in winter depends on righteousness.

The most important thing for growing crops is water. Without water, crops will look wilted.

Now even the people on the street are wilted.

"Yao'er, you must be hungry. Mom will buy you some steamed buns to eat." Mrs. Su took Li Yao to a steamed bun stall on the street.

Li Yao couldn't refuse, so he bought a meat bun, a vegetarian bun, and two steamed buns, spending a total of four pence.

The supplies in my space! Li Yao frowned.

She didn't dare and didn't want to scare her mother.

Only come slowly.

I took a bite of the meat bun, and the skin was hard and the meat was not fresh. I can’t waste my mother’s efforts, even though it tastes really bad.

So he ate it all into his stomach and sacrificed his internal organs.

Su Shi stuffed the vegetarian buns to her again, but she refused to eat them.

Even a small person couldn't eat two buns, so Su didn't force herself any more, packed the buns, and bit into the buns herself.

At the grain store, Mrs. Su cruelly bought ten catties of polished rice, ten catties of broken rice, and ten catties of brown rice. Polished rice was eighty cents per catty, broken rice was five cents per catty, and brown rice was four cents per catty, spending a total of 170 cents.

I bought a pound of salt for ten cents.

I still wanted to buy oil, so I went to the pork stall and bought five pounds of fat meat. Li Yao discovered that in this era, most people eat animal fat. It seems that there is no concept of vegetable oil yet.

Think about the peanut oil, sunflower oil, soybean oil, and camellia oil stored in her space.

I can't wait to move out all at once.

Just thinking about it!

Fatty meat sells fastest and most expensive at pork stalls, priced at twelve cents per pound. Lean meat only costs eight cents. Bones are cheap, either salmon with some meat or meatless ones, such as tube bone and fan bone. You can buy a bunch of them for just one penny.

"Mom, buy some bones." Seeing that Su had no intention of buying, Li Yao raised his head and said.

Su Shi was startled, smiled at the stall owner, and bought a bunch of bones from the stall.

When they returned to the hospital, they saw Xiao Huang talking to the doctor.

Seeing them, Xiao Huang immediately ended the conversation with the doctor.

She looked at Su with some embarrassment.

"sister in law!"

Su pursed her lips. She heard that her husband was injured because of him and she had a problem with him.

It can be seen that while he was busy, he felt that it was his husband who was to blame.

He is not alone, he has three children.

"Well," Su Shi only glanced at him, still complaining a little.

After the doctor saw Li Laosi, Xiao Huang went back first.

Xiao Huang came here now to see if there was anything that needed him.

Moreover, his mother gave him all the money her family could collect, which was a full 18 taels.

These turned out to be for his two brothers to get wives.

But because Li Laosi was injured because of Xiao Huang, Lao Huang and his wife felt that they had to treat him even if they were trying to sell iron.

They even thought that if Mr. Li was not saved, their family would be responsible for the orphans and widowers for the rest of their lives.

"Sister-in-law, take the money."

Xiao Huang handed over the money and said, "I can't help Fourth Brother, it's me who deserves to die. If I hadn't been greedy for the tiger skin, Fourth Brother wouldn't have been hurt."

You can hit me and scold me.

You must keep this money, otherwise I will feel guilty for the rest of my life. "

They were not the only ones in the medical clinic, and some people had already started talking about it.

Su Shi didn't want others to point fingers, and was also afraid that Xiao Huang would be too mentally burdened.

So I collected the money.

In front of her husband's illness, her heart became very hard and her face became very thick.

Xiao Huang is a good guy. If he really wants to cheat, he can cheat.

You can even leave the fourth child alone and leave him in the mountains. There was nothing she could do about her death without proof.

"Uncle Xiao Huang, are you driving the cattle cart here? We want to take dad home." Li Yao's words relieved the atmosphere and made Xiao Huang find value.

"I'm sorry, I borrowed it from the village chief's family."

"Great!" Li Yao bent his eyes, "My mother bought a lot of food. Can you help us load it into the car?"

Xiao Huang slapped his forehead hard and hurriedly moved all the things from Su's side to the bullock cart.

Then he put Li Laosi on the carriage and placed Xiao Yao'er next to her father.

When crossing the street, I stopped and bought a bunch of candied haws for Li Yao.

It was not dark yet when we went back, and Su got on the bullock cart, so the return trip was much faster than when she came.

The villagers did not expect Li Laosi to come back so soon. The news that Li Laosi was bitten by a tiger today and was only half alive has long spread in Qingshan Village and several villages surrounding Qingshan Village.

Everyone has long concluded that it is impossible for Li Laosi to come back alive. After all, everyone can see the bloody appearance.

Mrs. Li's intestines were filled with regret, and her three taels of silver were just wasted.

Coming back so soon, I'm afraid I might have dragged a body with me.

Soon, people were crowding inside and outside the Li family courtyard.

"Poor Mrs. Su, she is already pitiful enough, but I'm afraid her life will be even more difficult in the future. This old lady Li will rub her to death sooner or later."

"Who says it's not the case? There are three little ones, they are so pitiful. They have never had enough to eat before. What will we do in the future?"

"I hope Old Man Li can take more control."

"Huh, in my opinion, the one who is the least useful is Old Man Li. He is also a son, and Old Man Li is just a weed. He is left to work alone in the fields, and he does not get a penny of the money he earns. He goes hunting in the mountains, It’s also to support the family. Who doesn’t know the dangers in the back mountains? He, Old Li Tou, has never thought of him as a human being.”

The discussions were endless.

Old Man Li's face turned black. He was the best at saving face. When he heard these words, he wanted to turn around and go into the house. He didn't even want to see the fourth child's body.

If I had known earlier, I really shouldn’t have taken the money!

"Uncles, aunts, brothers and sisters, the fourth brother is not dead yet!" Xiao Huang said loudly.

Su Shi wanted to say it just now, but when she saw Old Man Li, she changed her mind.

She wanted to see how vicious this man could be.

Sure enough, some people are born bad! Without even checking, he concluded that his son was dead.

This must have been determined in my heart for a long time!
