Mrs. Mei rubbed her hands in embarrassment, and finally pulled her son forward, blushing and whispering: "Gu, Mr. Gu, I am Baolu's aunt, I..."

Gu Jingyun still remembered the way she waited behind Wan Shi nine years ago, and he had a good impression of her, so he nodded slightly and said, "I know you, are you here to look for Baolu?"

Seeing Gu Jingyun's peaceful expression, Wan's heart was relieved, she blushed and nodded, "Yes, I wonder if Baolu has time."

Gu Jingyun opened the door and invited her in, led her to the main room and said, "You stay here later, I'll call Baolu right now."

Li Baolu was still lying dead.

Seeing Gu Jingyun came back, he waved his paw at him.

"Your second aunt is here." Gu Jingyun said.

Li Baolu was in a daze for a moment before returning to her senses, "Who are you talking about?"

"Your second aunt, she brought your cousin here." Gu Jingyun paused and said again: "It seems that their life is not going well."

Li Baolu immediately got up and dressed and went to the main room.

Qin Xinfang and Qin Wenyin heard that their in-laws were coming, so they rushed out to entertain them, and they were sitting in the main room at this time.

It's just that Mrs. Mei was very uncomfortable, she lowered her embarrassment and pulled the patched clothes on her body, her feet were slightly retracted, so that no one could see the holes in her shoes.

Qin Xinfang also noticed that he was very uncomfortable here, so when he saw Baolu coming, he got up and said, "It's hard for my in-laws to come and let them stay for a few more days, Baolu, you haven't been with you for many years." The second aunt met, let's talk more this time."

Qin Wenyin also hurriedly nodded to her son, and said goodbye to Mrs. Mei with a smile.

Li Baolu stared blankly at Mrs. Mei, she didn't expect Mrs. Mei to be in such a state of desperation. Li Jun beside her was wearing mid-sleeves. In two days' time it would be New Year's Eve, and the weather was bitingly cold...

The life of the Li family in the five villages is the best. Even if Li Hong has no ability to generate income, the rich family property left by her grandfather and father will not be able to live like this.

"Second Aunt."

"Baolu," Mei looked at her excitedly, but hesitated when she glanced at Gu Jingyun to the side.

Gu Jingyun frowned, what did he not know about Baolu?

Although he really didn't want to leave, seeing Mei's frightened look, he still snorted coldly in his heart and said, "I'm going to prepare the guest room for my second aunt and cousin."

There were only three people left in the hall.

Li Baolu made tea for Mei Shi and Li Jun, and asked sadly, "Second Aunt, how are you doing?"

Since Wan's death, Li Baolu never went back to Li's house, and lost contact with her.

Mei wiped her tears and said sadly: "Your second uncle is not good at fishing, nor is he good at farming. The family used to be supported by me, but now that your cousin grows up, you rely on him. But with so many people in the family, There are various taxes to be paid every year, and the output is only so small, it is really hard to survive.”

"How come, my grandfather and my father left so much property..."

Mei's face was flushed, and she lowered her head in shame and said, "Your second uncle took the money to walk around and wanted to go to the county town to do business, but the yamen servant who came into contact with him turned his face and refused to recognize anyone after taking the money. It was stolen, and your second uncle was beaten up, and he was not allowed to enter the county again..."

If it weren't for the Qin family's caravans going to and from the villages to collect seafood, their seafood might not even be able to enter the county.

"Originally there was still some money left by your grandfather, but your second uncle was frightened after being beaten, fell ill, asked a doctor, took medicine, and spent almost all the money." Mei wiped her tears Said: "No matter how difficult it was before, I gritted my teeth and got through it, but somehow your second uncle got in touch with the people in the county and wants to give away your sister..."

Mei said with tears streaming down her face: "Niu Niu is only eleven years old, I really dare not let him interfere in my daughter's marriage, now every time I think of your elder sister, my heart is like a knife being twisted, Bao Lu, second aunt really I came to you because I had nowhere to go, and I also know that our second room is sorry for you, and I don’t expect anything else, so you can give us the medical books that your grandmother entrusted to you for safekeeping, maybe it can change Niuniu’s life."

Li Baolu's face darkened, and she asked, "What's the matter, big sister?"

Mei was silent.

Li Jun clenched his fists and said angrily: "My father married my eldest sister to a bachelor in Liucun for two taels of silver. There is no good piece of meat."

Li Baolu's eyes turned cold.

Li He didn't treat her well in the past, and she didn't like Li He much, but that doesn't mean she was willing to see her end up like this.

What's more, they are both daughters of the Li family, and they are connected by blood.

Li Baolu was silent for a while before saying: "Second Aunt, even if I give you the medical books, Second Uncle is willing to let Niuniu go? If I let you go this time, what about next time? We won't have another set of medical books for him next time. "

Mei's face was pale, "Then, what should I do?"

Mei is not a very smart person, she even has many shortcomings, she is selfish and powerful, she gives her children a piece of meat, but she is only willing to give Li Baolu a bowl of gruel, but her conscience is still alive, she never thought Li Baolu, who wanted to abandon her dementia, even reminded her mother-in-law when her husband did so.

She favors sons over daughters, and puts all sons first, but she also loves her daughter, and she is even willing to risk her life for her daughter.

She loves her eldest daughter dearly, but she is afraid that her son-in-law will harm her son after taking her home, so she can only take her daughter back to live for a while from time to time. It was even worse, so she was willing to give up the family heirloom of the Li family but also to keep Niu Niu.

But now Li Baolu told her that it was useless at all. Not very smart, she just felt that the sky was falling, and couldn't help but slipped from the chair to the floor, hugging her knees and crying.

She took a lot of courage to come to Li Baolu, she always remembered what her mother-in-law told her before she left.

The medical books handed down by the Li family are here with Li Baolu, and when her son grows up to be able to take care of himself, he will copy a set and pass it on to the family.

Now that her son is not in charge of the family, she didn't come to ask for medical books to pass on to the family, but to share with others, which put her under tremendous pressure.

These years of suffering did not make her resentful to the world, but made her heart softer.

If it wasn't for Li Baolu's thoughts and memories of adults, she would almost suspect that this person was not her second aunt.

Li Baolu looked at Li Jun and asked, "Brother Hall, what do you think should be done?"

Li Jun clenched his fists, gritted his teeth and said, "Father can't send Niuniu away."

Li Baolu asked, "What if you had to choose between your second uncle and your cousin?"

Li Jun looked at him blankly.

"Second Uncle has ambitions, but he obviously doesn't have the ability to match his ambitions," Li Baolu said flatly, "Even if I can help you stop this time, there will be a next time. Which one do you want to keep?"

Mrs. Mei was shocked when she heard the words, and she didn't bother to cry, she grabbed Li Baolu's sleeve and said, "Baolu, you are crazy, how can you encourage your elder brother to kill his father?"

Li Baolu patted her hand reassuringly and said, "Don't worry, Second Aunt, I didn't mean to kill Second Uncle. Murder is against the law, even if he is a criminal."

Mei breathed a sigh of relief, "Then, what else do you ask your elder brother to choose?"

Li Baolu grinned at her, "If the big cousin chooses the second uncle, then I can't help it now, but if he chooses the cousin, I can give my advice."

A faint light flashed in Li Jun's eyes, and he clenched his fists tightly and said, "Niu Niu is still young, she can't leave home, if Second Sister has any ideas, please let me know."

Li Baolu looked at Mrs. Mei, and said with a smile, "Second Aunt, I have a small family and a lot of things in the kitchen. Can you help me go to the kitchen to see how the lunch is prepared."

Mrs. Mei was taken aback, looked at Li Baolu and then at her son, holding back her tears and said, "Okay, let's talk then."

Li Jun looked at Li Baolu with piercing eyes.

Li Baolu led him to the study, and said: "Grandmother told me when she gave me the medical book, she originally gave it to me as a dowry, and after copying a set, I will pass it on to you when you grow up and be able to make decisions, so I will not I promised you to sell medical books."

Li Baolu found five books from the bookshelf and put them on the desk, and said: "This is a transcript, besides the ones handed down by our ancestors, there are also my grandfather's manuscripts that I have sorted out over the years. Do you really have the heart to sell the painstaking efforts of your ancestors?"

Li Jun's eyes were red, and he asked in a deep voice, "What do you think can help me?"

Li Baolu took out a medical book, turned to a page, pointed to several herbs recorded on it, and said: "Plants are the most miraculous things in the world. They are obviously beneficial or harmless to the body, but according to the When a certain proportion is combined together, it can compress the brain nerves, turning a good person into a stroke patient, who will die in severe cases, but will have weakness in limbs, crooked mouth and tongue, and can’t speak at all.”

Li Jun looked down at the medical book.

Li Baolu said softly: "The most wonderful thing is that it is also easy to get rid of this state. Several common ingredients can be boiled and taken in accordance with the proportion and they can return to normal, as long as the time is not too long."

"Of course there will be no patricides in my Li family, but it's okay to let the second uncle rest and be quiet for a while."

Li Jun took the medical book, read it over and over again and remembered it in his heart, and asked, "Where can I find these herbs?"

"You don't recognize it even if you see it, I will help you find it, but you have to do the rest by yourself."

Li Jun looked at Li Baolu with complicated eyes.

Li Baolu smiled and said: "Don't look at me that way. I don't have any feelings for Second Uncle, but I don't hate him too much. I don't want to interfere in the Li family's affairs because of him, but you and the eldest sister and third sister are the ones that Grandma cares about. I I don't want her to be sad."

"If you make a choice, ask someone to send me a message. Then I will go to Li's house, and then I will give you the medical books."

Li Jun glanced at the medical book again, closed the book and said, "Give me the herbs as soon as possible, Niu can't wait long."

Li Baolu nodded, "I'll take you to the guest room to rest, you can stay for two more days."

But this is impossible, neither the Mei family nor Li Jun is worried about the little sister at home, if it is not waiting for Li Baolu's medicinal herbs, Li Jun wants to go home that day.

Li Baolu found Gu Jingyun, told about the situation of Li's family, and said, "I have seen these medicinal herbs in the mountains, and I still remember their locations. I will pick them up and give them to him."

Gu Jingyun frowned, "There is obviously an easier way, why do you have to get involved so deeply?"

Li Baolu sighed, "But we're leaving next year, and we don't know when we'll be back after leaving. I don't want to give him hope and let him act in your name."
