Chapter 325: The He Family is Lonely and Widowed
"Mother, get up and drink the medicine. The www.biquge.info woman in the coarse cloth dress brought in a bowl of black medicinal juice from the outside, walked to the bedside, and said softly to the old woman lying on the bed.
"Ahem, ahem!"
The old woman, with her white hair and wrinkled face, looked blankly ahead, groped her way and sat up, and the woman hurriedly passed her hand.
"Where do you have the money to buy medicine?" The old woman grabbed the woman's hand and asked as she looked out the door with her eyes dazed.
Only then did she see that there was no trace of brilliance in her eyes, and she should have been blind for a long time.
"Business has been good these days, and I've saved some money." The woman put the medicine bowl to the old woman's mouth and said.
The old woman muttered: "What are you doing with wasting all this money, the old woman doesn't have many days to live, so it's better to keep ...... for the Dragon Boat Festival."
"Mother, don't say these words again, hurry up and drink the medicine." The woman sighed and urged.
She glanced at a jar in the corner, and under that jar was buried the silver given by the boy yesterday.
I used that money to buy medicine for my mother, and there are more than nine taels left, saving a little money, enough for the family for a few years, and I must not let those people find it.
Those two sons are good people, good people should have good rewards, she silently prayed in her heart, they must not do anything.
The old woman drank the medicine silently, and the woman picked up the medicine bowl, and before she could put it down, a crisp voice came from outside the door.
"Mother, I'm back."
Hearing the girl's voice, a smile appeared on the corner of the woman's mouth, and when she went outside tomorrow to buy a few feet of flower cloth, she could make a new dress for the Dragon Boat Festival, she had wanted a beautiful flower dress for a long time.
The little girl jumped into the house with a cheerful step, stuffed a piece of white in her hand into the woman's mouth, and asked happily, "Mother, is it sweet?" ”
Before she could react, several more figures walked in from outside the door, the woman's face changed, and she hurriedly protected the little girl behind her.
The first thing that catches your eye is an old face.
The woman was slightly stunned, and the vigilant expression on her face disappeared, for over the years, whenever they encountered a problem that they could not solve, the old man would appear, and although he had never communicated with him, he had probably guessed his origin in his heart.
And when another familiar face appeared in front of her, the woman immediately stood up.
"Is someone coming?" The old woman couldn't see it, but she could feel that there were outsiders in the house, and asked out loud.
It seems that it is not those wicked people who often come, her son works during the day and only comes back at night, she wonders in her heart, how many years has this family not been to outsiders?
After Li Yi entered the house, he looked around.
The family is surrounded by four walls, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it with this word.
There was no furniture but a stove and a bed, and there were really only four walls left, and the only small bed was in the corner, on which an old woman with gray hair was half-lying.
There is also a small room inside, separated by a cloth curtain, and you can see a little clue through the gap, and the space is not large, I am afraid that it is only the place where a bed is placed.
"Eun Gong ......"
The woman hurriedly approached and rubbed her hands, looking very cramped.
If it weren't for the son in front of her, she wouldn't have the money to buy medicine for her mother at all, and the ten taels of silver would not be an exaggeration to be their life-saving money.
"Auntie." Li Yi looked at the woman and said.
The woman was about to open her mouth to say something, when she suddenly saw the young noble man say something, and she was stunned, her mouth was half open, and the expression on her face became dazed.
"The little lady of the He family." The old man surnamed Li stepped forward, looked at the woman and said, "This is your sister's child." ”
"Yu Niang, is Yu Niang back, where is Yu Niang?" Before the woman could react, an anxious voice suddenly came out of the room, and the old woman was in a hurry to get off the bed, and for the reason she couldn't see it, she stepped on the air and rolled off the bed, but she didn't care at all, and struggled to crawl in the direction of the door.
"Mother!"
The woman exclaimed, hurriedly ran over, and helped the old woman up, the old woman looked in the direction of the door in a daze, two lines of tears rolled down from the empty eyes, and murmured: "My jade lady, where is my jade girl?" ”
The little girl stood there in a daze, not knowing what was going on, the first time she saw her grandmother like this, her little face was pale and she didn't know what to do.
"Grandma, don't worry, my mother is not in the capital, I came here this time to pick you up." Li Yi didn't know if she could still suffer such a blow if she told the old lady that the jade girl in her mouth had died more than ten years ago, so she could only comfort her like this at this time.
As for the truth of the matter, let's tell her slowly.
And after seeing that they have lived in such a place for all these years, he can also guess what kind of hard life they are having, he naturally can't ignore it, just now, Li Yi has already moved his mind to take them back to Qing'an Mansion.
No matter how long the hand of the capital lord stretches out, it can't reach Qing'an Mansion.
"You're Jade Niang's child?" As if thinking of something, the old lady temporarily forgot about Yu Niang, grabbed Li Yi's hand, and the other rough palm covered with calluses kept rubbing against his face, muttering: "Yu Niang's child, my grandson, is so handsome, follow Yu Niang's ......"
As she spoke, the old woman's voice gradually became quieter, and she tilted her head sideways and snored slightly.
The joy and sorrow were the most sad, Li Yi hurriedly helped the old woman to the bed, let her lie flat, and after covering the quilt, he turned around and saw the woman, that is, his aunt, looking at him with complicated eyes.
In fact, when he learned that the little girl was called He Longwu, Li Yi understood where the feeling of familiarity and affection for her came from.
Because the two of them also have half of the He family's blood.
And the reason why I am familiar with the noodles on that stall is probably because I ate them when I was a child.
"Aunt Xiu, clean up and get out of here today." Knowing from Li Bo's mouth that the youngest daughter of the He family is called He Xiu, Li Yi looked back at the woman and said.
"Good ......." Hearing Li Yi's undoubted tone, the woman opened her mouth, but finally spit out a word.
Seeing the little girl and the stunned standing in place, Li Yi walked over and rubbed her little head, the woman followed, looked at the little girl, and said, "Dragon Boat Festival, this is my brother." ”
The little girl nodded mechanically, looked up at Li Yi, and whispered in a mosquito-like voice: "Brother." ”
The little head hadn't figured out what was going on, but she knew that this "brother" was different from what she had silently called in her heart before.
