During this period of time, Zheng Zhi has already figured out the personalities of this family.

This Aunt Feng is a wicked mother-in-law who tortures her daughter-in-law to death.

Zheng Zhiren was present and saw this. Aunt Feng started scolding people in front of him. Her mouth was as poisonous as if it was filled with poison. She cursed at everyone, including those who were not good at cooking. If there were no outsiders around, who knows how she would treat her daughter-in-law.

Aunt Feng's son, Hua Yulan's man Xiang Qianjin, is a taciturn "mute" and "blind man". He doesn't like to talk and he can't see. Even though his mother is so excessive, he can only say a few words at most.

One sentence is, "Mom, please stop talking."

One sentence is, "Yulan, my mother is old, don't take her words to heart."

There is also a sister-in-law, Xiang Xiaoyun, who comes home from time to time. The girl and her mother are of the same mind, and they often bully Hua Yulan every three sentences.

As for Hua Yulan, she was silent most of the time and didn't speak. Only when Xiang Qianjin came back would she relax a little and say a few more words to him.

Zheng Zhi was the one who interacted the most with Hua Yulan. She was obviously such a good person. She would pour him hot water to drink, and when she heard his stomach rumbling, she knew he was hungry, so she would secretly give him a piece of steamed bread behind the back of her stingy and vicious mother-in-law, and sometimes even give him a bowl of rice with vegetables.

Later, Zheng Zhi found out that she had saved her share for him to eat. He asked Hua Yulan why she gave it to him, as food was such a precious thing.

Hua Yulan just said that he looked too thin and was a pitiful child. She also said that when she was in her hometown, she had an elder brother who was the same age as him and was also very skinny.

Hua Yulan is one of the few people in the world who is kind to him. Over the years, except for his grandmother, no one else has shown such kindness to Zheng Zhi.

Zheng Zhi wanted to say a few words for Hua Yulan.

"You old woman, having a child is a matter for the couple, don't you know that? It's useless for you to blame your daughter-in-law. If you really want to have a grandchild, just bring your son here and I'll see if there's anything wrong with him."

Who would have thought that after Zheng Zhi said this, Aunt Feng, who was originally considered pious, suddenly changed her expression and said, "How dare you say that."

Aunt Feng was annoyed because she didn't like what she said.

"You are a liar," Aunt Feng picked up the broom beside the house and chased him away, "Get out of here! You are talking nonsense here. I tell you, my son is in good health and there is nothing wrong with him. If I find him a new wife, he will definitely have two children in three years."

Zheng Zhi dodged Aunt Feng's broom and said, "I'm telling you something, why are you so angry?"

Aunt Feng was anxious. If word got out that her son had health problems and couldn't have children, how would she, as a grown man, face it?

Aunt Feng grabbed Zheng Zhi and wanted to teach this nonsense boy a lesson.

Zheng Zhi was caught off guard and was grabbed by Aunt Feng.

Aunt Feng pulled the bag that Zheng Zhi was carrying down with force, and the acupuncture kit, books, and Chinese medicine inside scattered all over the floor.

Aunt Feng yelled at Zheng Zhi and told him to get out of her house.

Otherwise, she would ask her son to arrest this feudal and superstitious Taoist priest.

……

Zheng Zhi was walking on the road holding the bundle that was torn into a tangled mess. His heart was pounding with panic and his legs were moving faster and faster.

It was drizzling outside, but Zheng Zhi was sweating profusely on his forehead, which mixed with the rain and flowed down his face, blurring his vision.

He was afraid that Aunt Feng would really ask her son to arrest him, after all, his son was in the army.

At the same time, Zheng Zhi felt a little sad. He did this business because his family was in financial difficulty. If he didn't make any money, he would starve. He didn't know where to pay for his grandmother's medical treatment this month.

Hua Yulan chased after Zheng Zhi for a few steps with the things that Zheng Zhi dropped in her hand and called Zheng Zhi's name a few times. Unexpectedly, Zheng Zhi thought that someone was really coming to catch him, so he not only did not stop, but also walked faster and faster, and finally ran away.

In panic and fear, Zheng Zhi ran without looking at the road and fell into a mud pit.

Hua Yulan quickly chased after him, looked at Zheng Zhi lying on the ground, and reached out to pull him, "Why are you running?"

"I called you like that, but you didn't even look back, and you ran faster and faster."

Seeing that the person coming was Hua Yulan, Zheng Zhi breathed a sigh of relief, "It's you."

Hua Yulan helped Zheng Zhi up and handed him the things in her hand. "These are your things. You left in a hurry just now and didn't take them."

Zheng Zhi took it, and Hua Yulan handed him the umbrella. "Go home with the umbrella. The rain is getting heavier and heavier. It won't stop anytime soon."

Zheng Zhi held the umbrella and asked blankly, "What about you?"

Hua Yulan didn't care much, "My home is close, I can go back in a few steps, your home is far, just take it, don't get wet in the rain."

Zheng Zhi's heart was out of control and his eyes were filled with heat.

Seeing him like this, Hua Yulan asked, "What's wrong? Are you upset because my mother-in-law hit you with a broom? Are you feeling upset and about to cry?"

Zheng Zhi turned his head away and said, "No."

Hua Yulan shook her head. "You are a child who doesn't understand human nature at all. How could you say those things in front of my mother-in-law? She can't stand others saying anything bad about her son."

"Especially men, they care about their reputation when it comes to this matter."

Zheng Zhi pursed his lips, "She shouldn't have scolded you like that. It's clearly a matter between the couple, how can she blame you for everything?"

He advised Hua Yulan, "Sister, don't always think about others, think about yourself. Don't you feel bad when they say this to you?"

Hua Yulan's heart softened, and after marrying Xiang Qianjin, she left home and lived with Xiang Qianjin, his mother, and his sister.

They are a family and care about each other. All the bad things are her fault. Her mother-in-law and sister-in-law team up to bully her and target her. She thought she was used to it. Maybe after being brainwashed by them over and over again, she began to think so.

I didn't expect that today, because of a few words from a stranger, I would feel so uncomfortable and sad.

Hua Yulan was speechless for a moment. After a while, she calmed down a little and said, "Child, don't worry about these things. Don't worry, I will still do business with you in the future and won't let you go hungry."

"You just need to put the blame on me, even if it's medicine or acupuncture, and stop saying those things and going against my mother-in-law."

She said lightly, "It's useless to say it anyway."

"So be it."

Hua Yulan just said that she would do business with him, and Zheng Zhi knew that Hua Yulan knew from the beginning that he was a liar.

But she never exposed him. She cooperated with him for so long, doing all these useless work. She even had to endure the pain of acupuncture and taking medicine.

Zheng Zhi looked at Hua Yulan's back as she left in silence, and felt sad. She was such a good person, why did she have such a hard life?

Even though she lived such a hard life, she still cared about others. She even cared about him, a liar whom she had only met a few times.
