Chapter 226 A Thank-You Gift to Hua
Li Mingxia did not say anything, just stared at Old Mrs. Zheng. When she looked at him or stirred the chopsticks in her hand, the aroma of the ribs and the sound of the chopsticks hitting the edge of the basin attracted Old Mrs. Zheng.
Almost in an instant, Mrs. Zheng swallowed back the words that were about to be said, and her face changed from sunny to cloudy.
"What do you mean by enough? You don't want to eat tonight? Or your daughter doesn't want to eat? What cornmeal? Can't you hear what I say? I asked you to make white flour noodles! What's the matter? Are you old? Your ears don't work well? Otherwise, you can go to the room and lie on the kang, and I will serve you, how about that?" Old Mrs. Zheng scolded Hua so much that she could hardly raise her head.
But Hua didn't dare to say a word, and didn't even dare to raise her head to face Old Mrs. Zheng.
I have to say that Hua really understands Old Lady Zheng, and knows how to get along with her. If you argue with her at this time, you will definitely face a storm, and you don't know how long it will last. If you choose to be respectful, please her and swallow your anger, it will be much better.
Sure enough, after a few scoldings, Old Lady Zheng calmed down. She snatched the bowl of noodles from Hua's hand and scooped the noodles in gulps as if she was angry with someone.
She stopped only after she had filled seven bowls. When she looked at Li Mingxia again, she saw that she was boiling chicken soup with her head down, as if the person who was staring at her with a smile just now was not her!
When she thought of this, Mrs. Zheng felt so resentful that she could no longer let go.
She slammed the bowl back into the flour bag and said, "Why are you still looking at me? Hurry up and mix the flour!"
Li Mingyu hurried forward and placed the prepared water next to the panel. Old Mrs. Zheng glared at her fiercely, but for some reason she did not scold her.
"Come out with me and get some potatoes." Old Mrs. Zheng said, pushing Li Mingyu impatiently.
"Okay." Li Mingyu agreed and followed Mrs. Zheng out of the room.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Li Mingxia took out a small paper bag from his arms and handed it to Hua.
"Thank you, aunt, for coming to deliver the letter to me today. I'm sure you will like it. From now on, we are even." Li Mingxia didn't know when Old Mrs. Zheng would come back, nor did he know if anyone would come into the kitchen. After saying these words, he went back to look after the medicine.
Looking at the paper package in her hand, she felt out what should be a hairpin inside. According to how much Li Mingxia cared about Zhang, this hairpin would definitely not be a cheap thing. If it were any other time, Hua would definitely be very happy, but now she wanted more than just this hairpin.
But Li Mingxia's meaning was very clear. If you accept this hairpin, you will have nothing to do with us in the future. Don't think of using this opportunity to blackmail us.
If Li Mingxia was as easy to talk to as before, Hua could try not to accept the hairpin, and then use this favor to get more benefits in the future. But the current Li Mingxia made Hua dare not do so. She could only put the paper bag in her hand into her arms with regret.
Li Mingxia could see the disappointment on Hua's face, but she pretended not to see it.
Hua must have helped their family today, but because of Li Zhengxue, Li Dalang, and even Old Lady Zheng and Old Man Li, Li Mingxia didn't want to have any contact with them at all.
Not to mention that Hua Shi was essentially not a person that Li Mingxia could trust. Even if Li Mingxia trusted him, she would give up any contact with him because of the complicated relationships.
At first, Li Mingxia didn't think of having too much contact with Li Mingyu. It was only after she knew her filial piety that she gradually accepted her. In this respect, neither Hua Shi nor Li Mingyu could compare.
After all, in Li Mingxia's opinion, the bad things that the Hua family had done were no less than those people, and it was not something that could be wiped out by the "good guys" this time.
"Sister! Sister! Come quickly! Mom is awake!" Li Mingqiu's voice came from the house.
"Coming!" Li Mingxia agreed but did not go into the house immediately. Although she was anxious to see Zhang, she still filtered out the medicine steadily with her hands, and then carefully entered the house holding the medicine bowl.
From beginning to end, Hua's eyes never left Li Mingxia, until Li Mingxia entered the house, then he withdrew his gaze, lowered his head and began to knead the dough.
In the past, the person Hua looked down upon the most was Zhang, and the person she despised the most was also Zhang. She never thought that one day she would envy someone from the bottom of her heart, and that person would be Zhang.
No matter whether it was Li Mingxia, other children, or Li Sanlang, Zhang's concern for her was genuine. If something like this had happened to me today, I would probably just be waiting to die.
Let alone other things, just this ginseng, would the people of the Li family buy it for themselves? Or in other words, do they have the money to buy it for themselves?
When nothing was going on, she was the most respectable daughter-in-law in the Li family's old house. If she did anything to displease Old Madam Zheng, she would be scolded as worse than pigs and dogs. In such a life, how could Hua not envy Zhang for living a good life?
When Li Mingxia came in with the bowl, Zhang had already woken up. Seeing Li Mingxia, her eyes turned red and her lips moved as if she wanted to speak.
Li Mingxia quickly handed the medicine bowl to Li Zhengde, "The medicine is still a little hot, give it to mother later. I'll give mother some water first."
Li Mingxia picked up the bowl of water placed aside and hurried out. After a while, he hurried back. At this time, most of the water bowl was already filled with space water.
Li Mingxia got on the kang and carefully helped Zhang up little by little. After making sure that she would not choke, he placed the bowl of water next to her mouth.
"Mom, you don't have to be afraid of anything. The doctor said that you will be fine, not now and not in the future. Just take this medicine and you will be fine." Li Mingxia fed Zhang water while whispering in her ear to comfort her.
Zhang nodded and drank the water in the space mouthful by mouthful. By this time the medicine was almost cold. Fortunately, there was only half a bowl of it, otherwise Zhang, who had just drunk a large bowl of water, would not have been able to drink it.
After Zhang drank the medicine, Li Mingxia put her back on the pillow.
After Zhang saw clearly where it was, she felt a little uneasy.
"Sister Xia, can't we go home?" Zhang's voice was hoarse and very low, but her expression was very clear.
Li Sanlang felt a little bitter. His wife and daughter had the same reaction, so it was obvious where the problem lay.
Li Mingxia also wanted to go back, but he couldn't move Zhang's house now. If something went wrong, he would regret it for the rest of his life.
