When Lian Man'er opened her eyes, it was already bright. "*Shou*Shi" I don't know if it was because she drank that bowl of medicine last night, but Lian Man'er felt very energetic and her body was not as weak as she did yesterday.

"Man'er woke up?"

Lian Man'er nodded and sat up from the kang. The whole family got up, and she was the latest one.

Lian Zhier came over to help Lian Man'er put on her clothes, then quickly folded the bedding and put it into the cabinet against the wall of the kang.

"Man'er, wait, I'll bring you a wash water." Lian Zhi'er said and then went out. After a while, she brought a basin of clear water in, and another small box of green salt was added.

The family has good hygiene habits. Lian Man'er thought to herself, so she brushed her teeth and washed her face. Lian Zhier took a comb and untied Lian Man'er's braid.

"Man'er, the wound on your head has not yet grown. You can't get wet. You have to wait a few days to wash your hair." Lian Zhier combed Lian Man'er's hair, gently put her feet, trying not to touch the injured piece on Lian Man'er's head, and then braided Lian Man'er two braids.

"What are you doing with your father and mother, brother and Xiaoqi?" Lian Man'er asked Lian Zhier.

"Dad accompanied my uncle to the old Jin family to exchange silver. I'm cooking medicine for you outside. Goro and Xiaoqiyi had gone out early and didn't say anything." Lian Zhi'er said.

The two sisters were talking, and Zhang walked in from outside with the boiled medicine.

"Man'er, drink the medicine first, and the meal will be good later."

Lian Man'er looked at the black medicine soup and felt bitter in her mouth, and hesitated and refused to take the medicine bowl.

Zhang naturally saw Lian Man'er's thoughts and felt sad. She went to the room early in the morning and wanted to ask Lian Man'er for an egg and some candy, but Zhou scolded her and said that she was too spoiled and there was no elderly person in her eyes.

"I'm all cured, don't take medicine anymore." Lian Man'er whispered.

"Man'er, this medicine is not bitter. I just tasted it. You can't help it... I'll endure it and drink it in one gulp." Zhang could only coax Lian Man'er.

This medicine seems to be effective. If you want to live a good life in the future, you have to take the medicine bowl first. Lian Man'er thought about it this way.

At this time, Lian Wuro and Xiaoqi ran in from outside the door.

"Man'er, I'll give it to you." Lian Wuro poured out a handful of small green fruit from the lapel of his holding clothes.

Lian Man'er put down the medicine bowl and picked up a small fruit to see it. The sweet girl had a layer of yarn-shaped skin on the outside, which was a little yellow and dry. Tear the outer layer of the skin, and the inside was full of sweet girl's fruits. She ate it when she was very young in her previous life. It was very sweet and could also dig out the slurry inside and chew it.

"Take Man'er, it's so sweet." Lian Wuro also tore open one and handed it to Lian Man'er.

Lian Man'er pulled the fruit down, put it in her mouth to chew it, and then nodded. It was sweet.

"Second sister, you just take this medicine and you won't have any bitterness in your mouth." Xiaoqi said with his face raised.

Lian Man'er couldn't help but smile. Zhang, Lian Zhier, Lian Wulang and Xiaoqi smiled at Lian Man'er, and they all laughed.

Lian Wulang and Xiaoqi were wearing water vapor, so they went out early in the morning to pick the sweet girl for her, afraid that she would feel bitter when taking medicine. But is this sweet girl wild?

"Where did you get so many sweet girls?" Before Lian Man'er could ask, Zhang asked first.

"From Erya's house." Xiaoqi replied quickly.

"Who picked it for you, does his master know?"

"Don't worry, mom, Xiaoqi and I caught several crickets early in the morning. We exchanged them for Erya's brother, Erya's mother also knows." Lian Wulang said.

Only then did Zhang feel relieved.

It turned out that it was not wild. Lian Man'er thought to herself that this girl's fruit is also called sour berries, and there are two varieties. One is sweet, which is very sweet when it is green. The other is bitter, but after the frost falls, it is completely mature and red, which is sweet and sour, delicious, and has medicinal value. It is particularly effective for sore throat and sour, and can also treat colds, dysentery, dysmenorrhea and gynecological inflammation.

"There are only sweet girls, no bitter girls?" Lian Man'er said to herself.

"Miss Ku?" Xiaoqi heard this and hurriedly said, "We have Ms. Ku, but Aunt Xiu'er won't let us touch it."

"Missie is still bitter now, and it will take a few days to eat it. If you want to eat it, I will pick it in the mountains. There is a big piece there." Lian Wulang said.

It turns out that there are also wild ones. Lian Man'er thought that maybe she could get some pocket money when the time comes.

"When the time comes, you can sell it for money." Lian Man'er said.

In their place, sweet girls are rare, but bitter girls are very common. Almost every family has a few, and people rarely eat them, mostly because the girls at home chew and play with them. He discovered the piece in the mountains and no one picked it. This thing can be exchanged for money? Even Wulang didn't believe it, but in order to coax his sister, he nodded.

"Okay, I will pick it for you then."

"Man'er, take medicine quickly, it's going to be cold later." Zhang said.

This time, Lian Man'er took the medicine bowl obediently. Before she could drink it, she heard Zhou's scolding from the upper room.

"...Black heart, lazy and greedy, I slept until my butt was sunny and didn't know how to work, I wanted to starve us old to death..."

Zhang quickly stood up and was about to go to the room.

"Mom," Lian Man'er quickly called Zhang. She knew that several daughters-in-law of the Lian family cooked in shifts. Yesterday was Zhang's class. No matter who was on his turn today, it was not related to Zhang's business. Zhou was an unreasonable person. Zhang caught up at this time and could only ask for nothing to be scolded, and he had to push the jar for others.

"It must be that your second uncle forgot to cook, so you have to go over and help. Otherwise, the family would not know when they could have dinner. Your uncle, second uncle and your father would have to go to the town." Zhou said to Lian Man'er, still going out.

Lian Man'er secretly touched her forehead, and she was really full of responsibility, but unfortunately she was out of place.

"Mom, I don't want to take medicine, mom, please feed me." Lian Man'er opened her eyes wide and looked at Zhang. She would definitely not be able to not let Zhang go, so she could only act coquettishly.

Sure enough, Zhang looked at her little daughter's head wrapped around her cloth strips, her big eyes flashing and looking at herself expectantly, and her heart softened. She took her legs back and sat on the kang, picked up the bowl, and started feeding Lian Man'er the medicine.

"Mom, I want to drink one bite at a time, and eat a sweet girl." Lian Man'er said deliberately.

"Okay." Zhang was anxious to go to the room, but seeing his daughter doing this, he could only be patient.

While drinking the medicine that Zhang had fed to her, Lian Man'er ate the sweet girl that Lian Zhier and Xiaoqi had peeled for her. When he went to the room, Zhou had already cursed her in various ways, but no one responded, and finally there was no sound.

"Sister-in-law, I'm asking you to come over." Lian Xiu'er came in with a dark face, said a word, turned around and left, and called Zhao and He again.

Zhou was going to teach his daughter-in-law a lesson, and Lian Man'er secretly stuck out her tongue.

There was no reason to stop Zhang, so Lian Man'er followed Zhang to the upper room.

Old man Lian was not in the room, Old lady Zhou straightened her back and sat on the kang, staring fiercely at the daughter-in-law standing underground.

"Who should cook today?" Zhou asked.

He wiped the corners of his eyes with his hand, threw a piece of eye poop on the ground, and remained silent. Zhao shrank, lowered his head, and did not dare to speak. Gu did not come, and it was said that he was feeling uncomfortable.

Zhang just wanted to speak.

Lian Man'er quickly pulled Zhang's sleeve hard. Zhou didn't know who should cook today, so it was obviously a trap to ask.

Zhang looked down and saw Lian Man'er's anxious eyes, saying that she didn't want her to speak. Thinking of her little daughter's well-behaved, sensible and filial daughter, she couldn't help but shut her mouth.

The eldest daughter-in-law said she was uncomfortable and didn't come. The second daughter-in-law looked like a scoundrel. Even Zhang, who was usually the most honest and kind, refused to speak up, and Zhou was even more angry.

"I'm all mute? Did you hear me?" Zhou roared.

Lian Man'er just pulled Zhang tightly and stopped her from speaking.

Seeing that no one answered, Zhou had to bear it, he looked at his daughter-in-law and finally pointed at Zhang.

"Fourth wife, do you think, who should cook today?"

What is this called? Picking persimmons to pinch them, or picking drumsticks?

"Mom, today..." Zhang said hurriedly.

"Mom, it was our family's cooking yesterday." Lian Man'er hurriedly stopped Zhang's words, "Who should we do today?"

Zhang wanted to support the scene for his daughter, so he responded, "Yes."

Zhou's aura turned on, but Zhang did not take the bait, so she could only turn to He's.

"Yesterday, the fourth wife was on duty. It's not your turn today. Why did you get up at this time and want to starve your father and I to death?"

He was prepared for a long time.

"Mom, you also said that yesterday the fourth family was on duty. Why was it my turn today? My man is the second-ranked man." He said, "When my sister-in-law was in the town, I won't say it. I finally came home. I'm not the daughter-in-law of my father and mother. I shouldn't cook for my parents to eat."

"You!" Zhou pointed at He. This daughter-in-law was the lazy person who was usually the lazy and was a little stingy, and did not feel at ease with her words. However, what He said today also makes sense. Gu followed the boss in the town all year round and rarely served her. Now that he is back, he shouldn't serve her.

Now I can say that I feel uncomfortable and I will not come. Then, then Zhou's heart sank and then relaxes. Even if Gu becomes an official wife in the future, she will be her daughter-in-law. She is the old lady and the mother of the eldest son of the Lian family.

It’s really time to set rules now, so that Gu will lose her in the future.

Thinking of this, Zhou made up his mind.
