Good Fortune Arrives at the Door of a Rural Doctor's Daughter

  Fu Qiu Lian looked at Lian Tian Er with a puzzled expression, not understanding why she was jumping up and down and shouting. It was so cold outside, she had just used some hot water to rinse the bowl, what was wrong with that? She blinked her eyes repeatedly, "Little girl, can't this boiling water be used?" Was there poison in it or something?

  "Of course you can't use it, don't you know that this hot water is for my mother and me to use tonight? And who told you to wash dishes with hot water? Don't you know that burning a pot of boiling water requires firewood? Do you think the firewood was all carried back by you?"

  "Little sister, the firewood wasn't brought back by me, but the food you're eating was grown in my field." Fú Qiūlián's calm words shut down Lián Tián'ér's retort. Looking at the little girl's furious face and eyes that seemed to be spitting fire, she couldn't help but laugh. "Little sister, it's very cold outside, if you don't help me wash the dishes, you can go back first, I don't need you to keep me company here."

  "Who wants to come with you, pfft." Lian Tian'er turned around, huffing and puffing. "You dare to secretly use hot water, just wait, I'll definitely tell Mother about it. Mother will surely punish you." With a clang, the door closed, and after Lian Tian'er's figure disappeared from view, Fu Qiu Lian's eyes sparkled slightly as she smiled lightly - Sweetie, don't disappoint me.

  In the house, Mrs. Li listened to Lian Tian'er's words and suddenly became furious, her face fell, "Rebelled! I think this old three family is really a troublemaker, as long as she is there, nothing can be done smoothly, it's really infuriating!"

  "Mother, you don't know, the expression she had just now was as if she didn't take you seriously at all." Lian Tian'er looked at her mother's face, secretly delighted in her heart, and fearing that the fire might not be burning strongly enough, added another sentence, "She even said I eat the grain grown on her land, it's really laughable, our family isn't landless, why would I eat hers?"

  "What did you say, what food grows in her land?" Originally full of anger, Li was like being splashed with a bucket of cold water on his head, and his brain quickly turned around. He looked at Lian Tian'er with a stern face, "You repeat her original words to me again, remember not to add or subtract anything, say it word for word without missing a single word." It seems that she is also very clear about the nature of her own daughter, who has no other skills but is good at adding fuel to the fire.

  "Girl, she said that the firewood wasn't brought back by her, but the food you eat is indeed grown from our land." Sweetie muttered and finished speaking, even she pouted and turned her head to one side, feeling wronged. Her mother had never been so fierce with her before, actually using such a terrifying expression on her for that woman...

  After a while, Lian Tian'er couldn't wait any longer and spoke up, "Mother, aren't you going?"

  "What's going on?" Li raised an eyebrow and glanced at Lian Tian'er, her expression somewhat distracted, her tone perfunctory.

  Lian Tian'er stamped her foot, "Mother, you're being unreasonable! Of course we should go and deal with that woman. You said before that you are the mother-in-law and she is the daughter-in-law, who should be respectful in front of you. We can do whatever we want to her? She used hot water without permission and scolded me, your daughter. She bullied me, shouldn't you stand up for me?"

  "Who dares to bully my baby daughter, I will not forgive her." A few words sent the spoiled Lian Tian'er away. Li Shi sat cross-legged on the edge of the bed, frowning tightly, but in her heart, she was quickly calculating. The more she thought, the tighter her brow furrowed, and finally, her eyebrows twisted into a "ten" shape, which could pinch a mosquito to death. When Lian Lao Ye finished smoking his dry tobacco and crawled under the covers, she was still there sighing and groaning. Lian Lao Ye couldn't sleep either and shouted at her in dissatisfaction, "What time is it now? Why are you not sleeping in the middle of the night?"

  "What are you sleeping on, when you're at home, you have a wide heart. I don't have as good fortune as you do. Sweetie is going to get married and so is Fei, which one of these things doesn't require money?" Li looked at her old father with a glare, her tone somewhat complaining, "You said you were fine and could still earn two, but instead you ruined your hand..."

  "What did you want to say?" As soon as money was mentioned, even Father's voice dropped.

  Half a cent can ruin a hero.

  In the darkness, after a rustling sound, Li's voice came up with a few hesitant words, "Our family has several daughters-in-law whose dowries are still there, they are all married into our family, naturally they are also our family members - I have been thinking about it for a few days, if we really can't make ends meet, why not use them first?" After a moment of silence, Li was afraid that Lao Ye would say something, and hastily added, "When our silver turnover is better in the future, we will give each daughter-in-law some more, what do you think, master?"

  "This isn't right, is it? Whose younger uncle marries a wife using his older brother's wife's dowry money? It wouldn't sound good if it got out..." Even Old Dad hesitated for a moment, sighed, and after a long while said, "Don't think about this anymore. This winter the snowfall has been plentiful, next year will definitely be a good harvest, and we should have some savings by then. At that time, won't there be enough money for Third Son and Sweetie's expenses? It's getting late, go to sleep."

  Knowing that this was what Lao Ye didn't agree with and didn't want to say, Li Shi gritted her teeth in hatred. But since even Lao Ye didn't agree with it, she couldn't think of a way out either. Helplessly, she turned over several times before finally falling into a deep sleep.

  The next morning, Li's face was dark, and Lian Tian'er also had a bad expression because of last night's events. The mother-daughter duo looked gloomy, but everyone seemed to be used to it. They ate and worked as usual. Fu Qiu Lian found it amusing, especially when she encountered Lian Tian'er's sharp gaze several times. During one instance when Lian Tian'er didn't retract her gaze, Fu Qiu Lian let out a soft exclamation, "Ah, husband, look at your little sister! What's wrong with her eyes? Is she having spasms? Why is she blinking and staring like that? Has something gone wrong? Should we go ask a doctor to take a look?"

  "You're the one who's sick, your whole family is sick." Lian Tian'er was furious, she wasn't winking at her, she was staring at her with a fierce gaze. In her heart, she was still thinking about it when she heard Fu Qiulian's voice, "Little sister, this statement is wrong, isn't my whole family also your whole family? Or are you saying that you truly wish for your parents and siblings to all be ill? Ah, little sister, I'm not the one who said you, if you really have such thoughts then it's your fault. You're still so young, how can you have such a ruthless heart? They're all your relatives, how can you bear to curse them with illness?"

  Fu Qiu Lian's rapid and urgent speech left even Tian Er unable to interject, and by the time she finished speaking, her face had turned white with rage. She pointed at Fu Qiu Lian, "You... you... you..." but was unable to utter a single word for half a day. It wasn't until Lian Qing Hou spoke up, reaching out to grab Fu Qiu Lian's sleeve, that she was able to compose herself. "Don't speak nonsense," he said sternly. "Apologize to your sister at once."

  He wanted to get along with her, but Fu Qiu Lian didn't give him the chance. With a faint smile, she slowly opened her mouth. "I'm really sorry, I'm a person who speaks directly and likes to tell the truth, but I forgot that you have thin skin, so please don't take offense."
