This enthusiasm for learning comes from me. Niu Li touched his head embarrassedly and said, "Sister, I won't do it again next time. Wipe your face~"

It’s not a big deal, and Nier doesn’t mean to blame her, but what about wiping her face.

Yan Zi came out of the kitchen and saw Ni'er. She couldn't help but hold her waist and laugh. Aunt Niudan was dragged in by Ni'er before she could say anything. Now she was smiling at Ni'er together with Yan Zi.

Ni'er was a little confused. She ran to the water tank and stretched her head to take a look. Her face was dark and she could hardly see herself clearly as the sun went down. Only her pair of bright eyes were exposed. She couldn't help but join in the fun.

The reflection in the water tank also grinned, revealing two rows of teeth with a few missing front teeth. The few teeth on the water surface were shining in the remaining sunlight. Turning around, several people were stunned for a moment and laughed even louder.

The eldest son's wife walked in and felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere today. The old lady didn't act bossy as usual, and it seemed like she didn't dare to look at her.

Just as he was wondering, he walked into the house and saw Niu Fugui, whose half face was swollen. He didn't recognize him for a moment and asked in a slightly puzzled voice, "Fugui'er?"

Niu Fugui didn't want to say a word, but just hummed twice to show his agreement.

This is the eldest grandson in the old Niu family. Usually the old lady holds him in her hands for fear of dropping him, and holds him in her mouth for fear of melting him, just like her eyeballs.

If anyone dares to mess with Fugui, the old lady will be the first to disagree. Under normal circumstances, the mother-in-law would scold the person who bullied Fugui for three days without repeating the same thing. Why is she so abnormal today? Seeing Fugui in such pain, her heart was in turmoil and she didn't think any further.

"Son, who hit you? Let me help you to reason with you."

The eldest son's wife's good temper was cultivated by her mother-in-law. When encountering such a thing, her protective mentality is simply overwhelming. It is simply unjust that she dares to bully her son like this.

Pulling Fugui up from the kang, he said, "Tell me who did it. Don't be afraid, mother is here."

Fugui lowered his head, and no matter how his mother asked, he didn't say a word. The old lady didn't come in at the door, her eyes carefully looking into the house, her voice a little unconfident, "Fugui mother, don't ask, I did it."

The eldest son's wife looked towards the door in disbelief. When the old lady met his gaze, she felt even more guilty and her already hunched body shrank even further.

"Mom~ What...what's going on?"

Standing at the door, she explained the whole story. Fugui's mother couldn't say anything more, as her mother-in-law also meant well.

But the question is whether the face can be restored. If it cannot be restored, it will have to follow it for the rest of its life. It’s not about other parts of the body, it’s the face. Even though it’s a boy, the face is also very important.

After a while, the eldest daughter-in-law saw that Fugui's face was still the same, and even tended to be more swollen. She was really worried and went to the old lady's room.

"Mom, why don't we go get a doctor? It would be terrible if her face was ruined."

I just consulted a doctor yesterday, how can I have so much money? The money I made from selling soy milk in the past two days is not enough. Besides, if I stick needles all over his body like last time, the child will suffer too.

Fugui's face looked like that, and it seemed that he had to consult a doctor. No matter how much he thought about it, there was no result.

Suddenly, an idea came to him. No, Jinshui was also beaten, so why did this medicine work well on her but have the opposite effect on Fugui? Could it be that Niu Jinshui added something into it?

The eldest daughter-in-law looked at the old lady in deep thought and wanted to speak several times, but swallowed the words back when they reached her lips.

"Jinshui~" The old lady finally found the culprit this time, and her voice was many times more confident than before.

The eldest son's wife was startled by the sound. Could this matter be related to Jinshui? She glanced at the ointment in the old lady's hand and felt it looked familiar.

It seems like it was used on Jinshui before. If Fugui has any relationship with Jinshui now, she must let her taste the same thing.

Niu Jinshui, who was helping in the kitchen, felt his heart skip a beat. He quickly agreed and ran into grandma's room as fast as he could.

The old lady and the eldest son's wife looked up and down at the visitor, especially the old lady, whose eyebrows were raised and her eyes were sharp, like a beast that wanted to eat him alive.

Unable to bear such a depressing atmosphere, Jinshui spoke first, "Grandma, what is the matter that you asked me to come here?"

The old lady picked up the box of ointment and rubbed the lid a few times. "Did you heal your wound with this ointment?"

Thousands of thoughts flashed through Niu Jinshui's mind in an instant. If he said that this ointment could cure it, grandma would definitely not believe it. After all, he only dug a little bit and it couldn't even cover a scar.

It would not work to say that the ointment was not used. As someone who only counts rice to cook, Grandma would definitely have discovered traces of its use.

What should I say to avoid a beating? The wounds on my body have just healed, and if I get beaten again, I will probably be left with scars. I don't want that. I pursed my lips, clenched the corner of my clothes, and a drop of sweat ran down my forehead.

The eldest son's wife saw that he hadn't spoken for such a long time, so she knew there must be something fishy going on. "You usually speak very fluently, why are you mute today?"

"Grandma, Auntie, I...I dare not say it."

The old lady was waiting impatiently. It was such a simple question, and she didn't dare to say what it meant.

"What are you afraid to say?"

Jin Shui took a deep breath and said, "I...I'm afraid of being beaten."

The eldest son's wife's face turned ugly in an instant. She was afraid of being beaten. Doesn't this mean there is a problem?

Jinshui really had the heart to do that to her brother. He was her blood brother who grew up with her. If she really did it, she must never live with such a person again. If there is one, there will be another. It's too scary.

It would be good if that were true. She glanced at the old lady and thought that she would be in charge of the family and would not have to look at her mother-in-law's face anymore. She sat up straight immediately.

The old lady glanced at the eldest son's wife, thinking about the last time she wrongly blamed Niu Jinshui and beat her in the middle of the night and she still had a high fever. She used the last bit of patience she had left and said calmly: "If you haven't done anything wrong, who dares to beat you? I'm here, and I have the final say in this family."

Niu Jinshui thought to himself that he had been beaten for no reason quite often, "Grandma, the wounds on my body can't be healed with that ointment."

After taking a look at the two people's different expressions, he continued, "I know that the ointment was given to grandma by my deceased grandfather. It is a very precious thing, so I dare not use it carelessly."

"I was in so much pain and itchiness that day that I picked a little, but later I felt I was not worthy of using it, so I put it away."

The old lady thought this was very pleasing to the ear, and her expression was not as serious as before. "Then tell me how you got better so quickly without taking any medicine?"
