Chapter 1322: Unable to Make a Demon

sat down cradling Tuanzi in her arms.“It is an honor for us that the Divine Envoy has come to our Mermaid Isle. We have also heard that the Divine Envoy travels far and wide, bringing new food and met...Liu Pozi's head was split open and she bled profusely. She lay in bed for five days straight. Zhuang Sisi and her second brother's wife, Hehua, temporarily took over the kitchen. They even used the excuse of making tonic for their mother to feed the family three meat dishes in five days. This made everyone else in the Liu family very happy, of course, except for Lian Yi.

She is still a nursing infant and, because of her own grandmother's disfavor, only has the nickname "Dayu", a common name among village girls.

But Ripples never pitied herself. Occasionally, she would add a drop of diluted spring water to herself, nourishing her own body and incidentally conditioning Zhuang Sisi's body as well, and even her old workhorse of a father.

When Lady Liu finally woke up, she discovered that some of the cured pork in the kitchen was missing. It felt like someone had cut away a piece of her own flesh. She immediately hopped out of bed and started yelling at people in the courtyard.

Besides Old Liu, everyone else, including little Ripples in her cradle, was scolded by her. Then she fell into despair again, performing another dramatic fall in front of everyone who had just returned from the ground.

And when he fell, he also knocked down the logs that were leaning against the wall to dry. Those logs had been brought back from the mountains by Old Willow with his three sons, intending to use them to add on to their house after they dried. They hadn't even gotten them into the backyard before one of them broke Old Willow Woman's leg.

Because it was just the time when everyone went home for dinner, the neighbors heard the noise and curiously poked their heads out. Upon seeing Old Mrs. Liu being crushed by a pile of wood, they exclaimed, startling the Liu family who were still in shock.

Next came another bout of chaos. Seeing Mrs. Liu fainting in pain and a pool of blood on the ground, the Liu family moved the wood away but didn't dare to touch her. Finally, a young boy who worked as an apprentice at the Puji Hall in town came over and took a look. He then told the Liu family:

"Uncle Liu, your wife's leg is probably broken. We can't move her around, otherwise it will be difficult to set the bone. Please carry her back home first. I have some medicinal herbs here that can stop the bleeding. Apply them first, and then you should go to town quickly to find a doctor who specializes in bone setting. Dr. Wang from our Puji Hall is good at setting bones."

" Shunzi, your uncle won't stand on ceremony with you. I trouble you to run a trip, and I'll go get the silver for you right now."

Lao Liu thought it would be better to ask acquaintances for help, so he immediately agreed.

Okay, I'll go home and get some hemostatic grass first. Uncle, you prepare the silver.

Shunzi was also a warm-hearted person and readily agreed.

By this time, Old Madam Liu, who had fainted, was already carried back into her own room by her three sons. Old Master Liu reached inside the secret pocket of his wife's sash and pulled out a key.

Then, he opened the lock on the kang chest and took out half a tael of silver. He locked the chest again and, when Shunzi came, he gave him the half tael of silver in front of everyone and asked him to go invite a doctor.

It wasn't until sunset that Wang the doctor managed to splint Granny Liu's leg and set it. During this time, Granny Liu woke up in pain twice and fainted again from the pain. Since Old Man Liu couldn't afford painkillers, his wife had to endure the agony.

Old Willow's heart was filled with resentment towards his wife. He had told her time and again not to scold people so often, as it drove away good fortune. Now look at this – she scolded someone and broke her own leg! They had to call the doctor, buy medicine, and even pay favors. A few taels of silver were gone just like that. How many taels could their household save in a year

After feeding Ripples, Zhuang Sisi went to the kitchen with Lotus to cook a feast for everyone. They glanced at each other, both seeing schadenfreude in each other's eyes. Although they couldn't show it on their faces, they were secretly delighted.

The mother-in-law broke her leg. As the saying goes, "a bone injury takes a hundred days to heal," so their mother-in-law wouldn't be able to nag them for at least half a year. That evening, Zhuang Sisi stir-fried Chinese cabbage with lard residue and cooked a thick porridge made from broken rice. She also made cornmeal cakes, ensuring everyone had a full stomach.

Of course, to show their care for her mother-in-law, she and Hehua discussed it and made a bowl of wonton soup using the white flour from home. They added lard to it, and after it was cooked, the two daughters-in-law carried it to their mother-in-law's bedside. Lao Liu was very satisfied with this, thinking that both his daughters-in-law were filial.

Half of the white noodle soup went into Zhuang Sisi and Hehua's mouths, and the rest went into Liupozi's stomach, but she didn't know it.

Joan ate with righteous indignation, she needed to breastfeed her child, and if she didn't eat well, there wouldn't be enough milk. As for Lotus, she was eating well in order to conceive as soon as possible and replenish her body. Anyway, during Old Willow's bed rest, the two of them waited on her attentively and diligently. Even Joan herself felt much better.

There were white flour, eggs, and meat to eat. When Liu Pozi was able to walk with her cane, the lotus also became pregnant.

Ripple still lived a life of eating, sleeping, and sleeping, eating. Taking good care of herself, she also watched Old Willow stir up trouble with demons. As soon as Old Willow's health improved and she was ready to cause chaos, Ripple would intervene, pinning her down. She wasn't plagued by headaches or backaches, twisted ankles, or swollen gums, among other things. In the end, Old Willow even became exasperated.

Finally, when the old woman cursed the eldest daughter-in-law again, he angrily rebuked her.

"You old hag, can you please shut up Look at all the trouble you've caused yourself this year because of your loose tongue!

"

You just want to lie on the bed and be comfortable, don't you Haven't you considered how much money that costs Plus, you need someone to take care of you at home. Not only does this interfere with your work, but it also makes people gossip about you.

The big lake hasn't even gotten married, he can't even afford a dowry. Are you going to let your youngest son be a bachelor for life Or are you just going to keep Pingping at home as an old maid She's fifteen already!

After being reprimanded, Liu pozi finally shut up and went back to her room. She opened the kang cabinet and began counting copper coins. Then she discovered that it was indeed as her husband said, this year alone she had spent five or six taels of silver on seeing a doctor and medicine. To say she wasn't heartbroken was a lie, these coins were indeed enough for the family to find a wife for their youngest son.

Finally, Old Willow Woman had called it quits and entered a period of silence. She focused on her work, without speaking a word. Lian Yi felt her ears were much quieter and suddenly found herself bored.

After Liu Pozi quieted down, Liu Pingping started bouncing around again. The reason was that she had her eyes on a young scholar from the neighboring village and wanted to marry him. However, the scholar's parents weren't fools either. They wanted to find a wealthy family for their son who could read so they could continue to support him in his studies and examinations.

Upon her return, Liu Pingping started pestering Liu Pozi, wanting her to use a hefty dowry to marry her off to Tong Sheng's family. Unfortunately, as the saying goes, "Familiarity breeds contempt," and since people knew their own circumstances, they wouldn't consider marrying into their family. Therefore, Liu Pozi naturally refused.

However, Liu Pingping spoke of many advantages to marrying into the young man's family, most importantly being able to elevate her natal family. Ultimately, she persuaded Liu Pozi, although the lack of silver was a fact. The two then turned their attention to the adorable ripples.

These two people are too focused on their own goals. They even started discussing where to sell a one-year-old baby, Ripples, right in front of her! It's truly outrageous and unforgivable.

The ripples didn't even bother to pay attention to these two heartless relatives and decided to solve the problem from the root. The opportunity came the next day.y and walked to Lian's side, saying:"Miss, the smell of blood here is too strong; it might attract other wild beasts. We'd better leave now.""Okay."Ripples knew her guards better than they knew themse...
