The next day, after waking up, Mao Xiaosui found that the bruises on his arms had indeed become deeper and more painful.

Li Yunshan woke up as soon as she moved, glanced at her injury, and got out of bed.

"I'll go fix the backyard, and you can cook." He said while getting dressed.

Mao Xiaosui responded and went to the kitchen to cook the porridge first, and then scooped half a ladle of water for himself to wash up.

In the backyard, Li Yunshan was fumigating insects again. She bit a willow branch and cleaned her teeth while entering the house.

The earthen house was prone to dust, so she tidied up the bed and then took a wet cloth to wipe the table.

While he was sweeping the floor, Li Yunshan came in from outside. He went to the kitchen to wash up. When Mao Xiaosui came out after cleaning up the main room, he saw him holding the honey on the wooden jar and smelling it.

“Can I fry an egg on this?”

"Yes, do you want to eat?"

Li Yunshan nodded, "Fry four eggs and eat them."

Mao Xiaosui went to get the eggs and poured sesame oil into the pan to fry them. When Li Yunshan picked half a pot of vegetables, he came back to wash them.

Mao Xiaosui glanced at him and suddenly felt strange. Could it be that Li Yunshan was craving for Ding Wenxiu's brown sugar omelette yesterday?

Honey omelette is also easy to make. Fry the eggs until both sides are golden and take them out. Add honey to the pot and fry until it has a slightly burnt smell. Then pour the eggs in.

She first fried the eggs, then fried the vegetables before making the honey.

Li Yunshan took one bite each, and Mao Xiaosui also took a bite. The taste was still the same as before.

"Does it taste good? Is it better than brown sugar?"

Li Yunshan shook his head, "I don't know, I've never eaten brown sugar."

Mao Xiaosui was stunned. "Grandma has never done this before?"

"I have not tried."

She was only surprised for a moment and then figured it out. The old lady here in Li Yunshan only took things but never gave them back, so there seemed to be no surprise.

"It's okay." She smiled and said, "There is plenty of honey at home. If you want to eat it in the future, I will make it for you."

Li Yunshan looked at her and smiled.

After breakfast, they had to go to the ground. Unfortunately, when they came out, they happened to meet Li Yunqiang and the others who also came out of the door.

Li Yunqiang shouted "Brother."

Li Yunshan just took a look, nodded, and then left without any intention of waiting.

Li Yunqiang saw this and could only sigh helplessly.

There were many people on the way to the fields. Li Yunshan and Wang Qingshan were together, and Mao Xiaosui and the women in the village were listening to their gossip.

The two families were close to each other, so Mao Mingzhu asked her, "The old lady came to trouble you again last night."

"No." She sneered, "While Li Yunshan was out, he beat and scolded me, and even talked things wrong. He beat me before and gave me a little brown sugar. He had to go back yesterday. Fortunately, we didn't eat it."

"Yunshan and Li Yunqiang are angry?"

"I don't know." She couldn't understand Li Yunshan most of the time.

It's normal for him to be angry. If it's not for her, he should be angry even for himself.

Cheng Shu was very talkative and was talking with Liu Yun and the other old ladies. Mao Xiaosui wondered, "Grandma Wu looks very happy. Is she rich?"

"No..." Mao Mingzhu laughed, "Yang Cuihua is pregnant."

"Ah?" Mao Xiaosui resisted the urge to roll his eyes. He was already so poor. Wouldn't he be even poorer after he was born?

She glanced back at Li Yunqiang and said that she had agreed to pay back the money in March and April. It was already May, so why hadn't she paid back yet? Could it be that he was trying to cheat?

_

At this time, all the country people are busy working in the fields, but the market is still busy, except that the stalls that usually sell shoes are no longer there.

Mao Xiaosui came here in the morning with several young women from the village.

There was an empty seat on the bridge and she sat with Zhang Hong's seven-year-old second daughter Li Baiyu.

They both brought vegetables and eggs.

Mao Xiaosui brought a lot. There was a basket of green vegetables and onions, and more than a hundred eggs in the basket. She almost died from exhaustion when carrying it.

Being used to selling in the market, Mao Xiaosui started shouting naturally.

Li Baiyu was thin-skinned and could only watch helplessly. Occasionally, someone would come up to the stall and buy two copper coins a piece.

Mao Xiaosui's basket of vegetables and eggs was almost sold out, but Li Baiyu's basket was still full.

After greeting the guests, she put money into her purse and said to her, "Don't be shy. This business is for grabs. There aren't many people today. If you keep sitting and waiting, I'm afraid you won't be able to sell much by noon." .”

Li Baiyu rarely comes to the market to sell things. Most of the time, he and his eldest sister Li Baifeng feed the chickens.

The work in the fields was not finished at the moment, so it fell to her to come to the market to sell things, but she was shy and couldn't speak.

"You shout twice and you'll get used to it."

Li Baiyu opened his mouth, but when he finally shouted, his voice was like a mosquito. If it weren't for the close distance, Mao Xiaosui almost didn't hear it.

She was a little funny. Just when she was about to demonstrate, the woman next to them who was also selling vegetables asked, "Is this your sister?"

"Yes." She smiled and replied, "My cousin."

"Are you from Lihezi Village?"

"Yes, you are..."

"Li Xiaoru and I are from the same village, and now we are married to Tugou Village."

Li Xiaoru? She narrowed her eyes and looked at the other person for a while, then suddenly thought about it.

No wonder she thought this man looked familiar just now, and thought she had seen him in the market at first.

I did meet him at the market, but it was because of Li Xiaoru.

She was sitting with Li Xiaoru, and Li Xiaoru's arrogant person didn't know what he was planning, which made the woman look at her frequently.

Thinking of this, the smile on her face did not fade. Instead, she shouted "Auntie" with a smile.

The woman was a little surprised and soon laughed.

"I heard that you are from Maojia Village?"

"Yes."

"Our village also has a new daughter-in-law from your Maojia Village. The child seems to be very well-behaved, but she is not as popular as you. She didn't speak to her when we met..."

Mao Xiaosui smiled and said to himself: Being abused at home every day, it's strange that he has a good temper.

During the chat, the topic of the two naturally turned to Li Xiaoru.

Mao Xiaosui smiled and said, "I wonder how Wang Shuang is doing?"

"Li Xiaoru's daughter? What happened to her? I haven't seen her for a few days."

"He is in the town, how can we see him?"

There was obvious surprise on the woman's face, and she asked, "Did she marry in the town?"

Mao Xiaosui was also surprised, with a hesitant look on his face, and finally mumbled and said nothing.

The woman's curiosity was aroused by her. After all, if Wang Shuang really married and moved to the town, she would be able to get help if anything happened in the future, but it was true that she felt unhappy.

Mao Xiaosui still had an embarrassed face and hurriedly shouted business to change the subject.

But the woman didn't give up and asked, "You should tell me, but I'm so anxious..."

"Auntie, please don't go around talking about it. I can't afford to offend Auntie Li. If she knew it was me who said it, she might still talk nonsense. I've been spread by her a lot in the past..."

"Don't worry, I won't tell you."

Only then did Mao Xiaosui approach her ear and whispered, "Do you know the rich man Zhang in this town? Wang Shuang is raising a baby there? I just don't know if he can give birth to a boy..."

The woman's eyes widened and her voice rose unconsciously.

"Keep your voice down." She hurriedly pulled the woman's sleeve, "If she knew it was me who said it, I would suffer again. If it weren't for the fact that my aunt is kind and a good person, I wouldn't dare to tell you..."

The woman came back to her senses and sneered, "She, Li Xiaoru, is such a good thing. She had an affair with that bastard before she got married. Who knows if this old sweetheart of hers is here when Wang Shuang goes to town?" The matchmaker in the middle..."

Mao Xiaosui raised his eyebrows. She originally just wanted to spread some news through the woman's mouth, but this was an unexpected surprise.

"Auntie, please stop talking. We can't afford to offend Auntie Li."

The woman sneered again, "You shameless thing, how dare you act in front of me? If you make her angry, I'll tell her about her old sweetheart."

"What a good old friend, is Auntie joking?"

"Everyone in the village knew before. It's not a secret. What did I lie to you about?"

“Is that person from your village?

"He is from the next village, a few steps away from our village. He and his mother moved here later. I heard that his mother was born before he was married. The family has no land, and her mother is in the village..." The woman Shaking his head, Mao Xiaosui understood immediately and asked, "What is that man doing now?"

"I heard that you can earn a lot of money a month by working as a groom in the town."

"It's a pity that she, Li Xiaoru, didn't have that fate. Li Xiaoru's family disliked his family for being poor and their mother for being unclean. The matter between the two of them didn't work out in the end."

"Her mother later went to the town and found this job for him."

"You don't know, his mother was so handsome when she first came here, but it's a pity that she's old now..."

"That man is not married?"

"Married, the children are grown up, and the mother-in-law and children are waiting for his mother at home."

"That was what happened before, and it has nothing to do with Li Xiaoru now."

"Where." The woman whispered, "I saw that man coming to see Li Xiaoru at the market last year. Those two people are definitely not innocent."

"It's really shameless. Who knows who her children are from..."

After hearing everything, Li Baiyu's eyes widened in shock.

Mao Xiaosui thought that Li Xiaoru was the one who was unlucky for her, and this bad thing would let her know that even though they were still dead, they still had a deep hatred.
