Taohua was pushing her bicycle and was about to enter the front door of her house when the door opened with a "squeak" and she saw her mother Qin coming out of it.

Half a month was gone, and Taohua didn't know whether she was aggrieved or excited. As soon as she saw her mother's face, her nose became sour and her tears fell down.

Taohua's mother's name is Qin Guizhi, and she and Qin Dachuan, the village branch secretary, are uncles and siblings. Qin's heart skipped a beat when she saw her daughter coming in and crying sadly. Could it be that her son-in-law's condition...? She quickly asked: "Hua?"

, what’s wrong with Dajun? How is Dajun’s illness?”

"Don't worry, Mom, Dajun is fine. He will be discharged from the hospital tomorrow." Taohua wiped her tears and pushed the cart into the yard.

But Mrs. Qin was still thinking about it, thinking that Dajun would be discharged from the hospital tomorrow, which proved that Dajun's illness had recovered, so her daughter must have been hurt or wronged in some other way, so she opened her mouth and asked: "Hey, Hua'er, you just came in

Cry, what’s going on? Who is responsible for my daughter? I’m going to settle the score with that bastard!”

Taohua saw that her mother was dirty and cursed, so she hurriedly pushed up the car ladder, stretched out her hand to hold her mother's hand and shook it, saying: "Mom, look at you, I cried because I was so happy to see my mother. No one is responsible for me."

"This kid is so weird that he scares me." Mrs. Qin poked Peach Blossom's forehead with her finger, then pursed her lips and smiled: "Why can't you remember to come home today? I haven't been home for so many days, I thought

I’m still angry with my family.”

"No, I'm not angry. I know you are doing it for my own good." Taohua let go of her mother's hand and showed a naughty face: "Mom, do you really not want me to come into the house?"

After Taohua said it, the old lady realized that the two of them had been standing in the courtyard talking.

"Oh, this silly girl, my mother is also silly. Let's go inside and rest for a while."

Taohua entered the house, picked up a ladle and drank water from the vat. Her mother quickly said, "Drink slowly, or you may get a stomachache from the cold."

Taohua put down the ladle and asked, "Have my father and Shukuan gone to work?" Shukuan is Taohua's younger brother, one year younger than her.

"There's not much work to do in the fields recently. I've been meeting and studying all day. It's just a waste of work points." The old lady muttered a few words, but then changed the subject and asked, "I've been worried these days. This time you and Dajun

Is there really nothing wrong?"

"It's nothing. I just miss my mother. I'll come home and see her."

"real?"

"It's true. By the way, I also want to tell you that you don't have to worry about Da Jun's illness. He will just recuperate at home after he is discharged from the hospital tomorrow."

"Oh my God, I finally have hope." The old lady suddenly smiled and said, "Well, your father and I will go to the hospital to pick him up tomorrow."

Taohua smiled and said, "No, I can go with my mother-in-law. There doesn't need to be too many people. My mother-in-law asked how her biological mother is doing."

"Your mother-in-law is so pretty, how about it? Is she nice to you?"

"It's good. My mother-in-law is a good-looking person. Even though she is an old woman, she is more considerate than the gentlemen."

"Okay, don't praise your mother-in-law." Qin Guizhi knew that this was a child who reported good things but not bad things. Even if she had huge grievances, she would not show them in front of her family when she returned home. She felt bitter in her heart. What a mother can say

Don’t you know? It’s just that she’s not willing to say it, so don’t force it.

After a while, Ms. Qin smiled and said: "Hua, I think everything is okay. Let's go to the private plot and pick some cotton trees. The cotton will be reserved for Shu Kuan to marry his wife. You still have a rest.

Are you ready?"

"I won't rest anymore, let's go."

The couple came to their own plot of land and saw a patch of white cotton. They were filled with joy, so they picked up the bundle and hurriedly picked it.

Qin Guizhi said happily: "This spray of cotton can make two thick quilts. With the spray on the head, it will be enough for Shukuan's wedding this year."

Taohua nodded and smiled and asked: "Shu Kuan has a partner? Which village is the girl from?"

"We haven't decided yet, but we introduced two of them. Your uncle Dachuan insisted on letting Shukuan book the one in the city. He said it was his uncle-in-law and niece. I heard that the girl's father was quite powerful. Shukuan and the others also met.

We have met, and the girl is not very good-looking, Shukuan is not willing, and your uncle Dachuan was so angry that he scolded him, and there is nothing I can do about it."

"My uncle is very domineering. If anyone doesn't listen to him, he will give them little shoes to wear. No wonder people call him the King of Hell."

"Don't talk nonsense, silly girl, be careful not to let him hear it." Mrs. Qin said to Taohua: "Even though he and I are the same old man, we have to listen to him in everything, otherwise he will definitely be angry. Back then, your uncle Dachuan

If you refuse to marry that second hell king, he is still angry with you even now that you talk about it. It’s not that your parents have to force you to divorce Dajun, your uncle Dachuan still wants you to marry his cousin, the second hell king."

"I am living well with Dajun now, why are you provoking me for divorce? It's so wicked!" Taohua was a little angry.

"What are you yelling about? Well, that's true. Divorce is difficult, but how will you live your life without divorce?"

"I will never leave. As long as the army is here, I will be a member of the army. Whoever wants to say anything can do it. I don't care."

"You're such a stubborn girl, you've been so stubborn since you were a child. I didn't agree with your marriage to Dajun at the beginning. Now, don't you think it's obvious? People often say that if you don't listen to the old man's words, you will suffer the consequences. Okay, I won't agree with you.

Let’s talk, it’s time to pick the cotton in our private plot, you just came back and have a rest.”

"Mom, shall I go with you too?"

Mrs. Qin thought about it for a moment and said, "That's okay. Let's go together. If you can help me pick it, maybe we can finish it in an afternoon."

The two women talked while picking cotton, and sometimes even argued.

At this time, Taohua's younger brother Shukuan hurried over and shouted: "Sister! You should go back quickly. Your husband's family sent a message saying that your husband was kicked by an animal."

When Taohua heard this, she almost collapsed on the ground, her heart was beating so hard, and she was at a loss for a moment.

Mother hurriedly said: "Taohua, give me your nephew quickly and ask Shukuan to accompany you back as soon as possible."

Taohua was speechless, dropped her bags and ran home.

She rode her bike, stared, frowned, and didn't care much. In an instant, she arrived at the edge of her husband's village like flying.

Shukuan was sweating profusely after chasing him. He was panting and shouting from behind: "Sister! Slow down, don't fall!"

Taohua couldn't hear her brother shouting behind her for a long time, and she didn't stop until she entered the front door of her house.

The people in the yard all focused their attention on her, and from their expressions she seemed to see that her father-in-law's injury must be serious.

Her mind went blank, and she didn't know how to get into the house. Her father-in-law squinted his eyes and lay on his back on the kang, with one leg wrapped in a bandage and raised high with a quilt. Her mother-in-law sat beside his head and wiped his sweat.

, production team leader Chang Danian and Liu Haitao stayed in the room without saying anything.

The mother-in-law saw Taohua and asked, "Taohua is back? You just got home, right?"

"As soon as I heard about it, I rushed back. I was scared to death." As Taohua spoke, tears fell from her eyes. She asked again: "How is my father's injury? Is it serious?"

Chang Danian, the production team leader, was the first to answer: "We were setting up a cart to pull hay into the field, but the mule suddenly started to make a fuss. Your father couldn't dodge and was kicked by the beast. I quickly carried him on my back.

At the drug store, Lao Wang, the barefoot doctor in our village, said that he had a fractured calf, which had been kneaded, and had been given anti-inflammatory injections and anti-inflammatory drugs. Doctor Wang said that he would have to rest for two or three months before he could get on the bed."

Taohua asked: "Why don't you go to the county hospital? Can it be treated like this? Will there be any sequelae?"

The father-in-law gritted his teeth and explained: "It's okay. Dr. Wang graduated from Bethune School. He is very skilled in bone setting and trauma. Don't worry...hiss...ouch."

"That's good. Dad, please stop talking and have a good rest." Taohua turned to the production team leader and asked, "Is this considered a work injury for my father?"

Chang Danian, the production team leader, said repeatedly: "Forget it, think it over, of course it will be counted as work-related injuries. Every day's work points will be recorded, and the medicine expenses will be reimbursed and disbursed. Don't worry, your mother-in-law will also be given ten more jobs to serve her. Is this possible?"

"

"When my mother serves my father, she can't do anything. She even has to work at home. Ten jobs are not enough."

"This... okay, then thirty big workers can work for a full-grown man for a month. Is that okay?"

"Okay, Taohua, let's not make things difficult for the production team and our captain." Her mother-in-law agreed first, and Taohua said nothing more.

Things happened one after another in the family. Dajun’s condition had just improved, but now his father-in-law’s leg was broken again. What a blessing, misfortunes never come singly!

It seemed that my mother-in-law had already made arrangements for tomorrow. She stopped Liu Haitao and said, "Naughty boy, you will be delayed for half a day tomorrow to go to the county hospital with Taohua to pick up the army. I can't go, so I have to serve your uncle at home."

"No, I can just go by myself." Taohua refused first, because she had developed psychological fear and resentment towards Liu Haitao because of what happened last night and this morning.

The mother-in-law didn't know what happened in the morning. She thought that Taohua was still worried about what happened last night, so she explained to Taohua: "I'm not worried about you alone, and we are embarrassed to ask outsiders for help. They are all from our own family. What's the matter?"

It's not too late to wait until we can get the army back. Besides, there are so many things that one person can't take. I think it's better to let Naughty go with you. What's the big deal?"

The mother-in-law was determined to let Liu Haitao go with her. She no longer had the courage or the means to refuse the old man's request.

Aunt Liu took the opportunity to make arrangements and said: "Let's do it like this. I will wait for your father at home tomorrow and prepare meals by the way. Naughty child, you and Taohua will ride a bicycle and go to the county hospital to pick up the army together."

Liu Haitao raised his eyes and glanced at Peach Blossom. He smiled awkwardly at Aunt Liu: "This..."
