Mrs. Mei rubbed her hands in embarrassment, and finally pulled her son forward, blushing and whispering: "Gu, Young Master Gu, I'm Bao Lu's aunt, I..."

  Gu Jingyun still remembered how she was serving behind Wan Shi nine years ago. He didn't have a bad impression of her, so he nodded slightly and said, "I know you, are you here to find Baolu?"

  Ms. Wan was relieved when she saw Gu Jingyun's calm expression, 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'll be here later, I'll call Baolu right now."

  Li Baolu is still lying dead.

   When he saw Gu Jingyun coming back, he waved his paw at him.

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

  Li Baolu was dazed for a while before she recovered, "Who are you talking about?"

   "Your second aunt, she brought your cousin here," Gu Jingyun said after a pause, "It seems that their life is not very good."

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

   Qin Xinfang and Qin Wenyin were sitting in the main room when they heard that their relatives were coming and came out to entertain them.

   It's just that Mrs. Mei was very uncomfortable. She lowered her embarrassed clothes and pulled on her patched clothes, her feet slightly shrunk, so that no one could see the ripped shoes.

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

   Qin Wenyin was busy nodding to her son, and said goodbye to Mei with a smile.

  Li Baolu stared blankly at Mrs. Mei. She didn't expect Mrs. Mei to be so down and out. Li Jun on the side was wearing mid-sleeves. In two days, it would be New Year's Eve, and the weather was freezing cold...

  Li's life in Wucun is the best, even if Li Hong is not able to generate income, the wealth of her grandfather and father's wealth will not be like this.

   "Second aunt."

   "Bao Lu," Mei looked at her excitedly, and hesitated when she glanced at Gu Jingyun.

   Gu Jingyun's eyebrows twitched, what did he not know about Baolu?

  Although he didn't want to leave, he still snorted coldly in his heart when he saw Mrs. Mei's frightened look: "I'll go to the guest room for my second aunt and cousin."

   There were only three people left in the main room.

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

  Since Wan's death, Li Baolu has never returned to Li's house, and has also cut off contact there.

Mrs. Mei wiped away her tears and said sadly, "Your second uncle can't fish, and he's not good at farming. I used to support the family. Now that your cousin has grown up, it depends on him, but with so many people in the family, All kinds of taxes have to be paid every year, and the output is only so little, life is really hard to live on.”

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

Mei's face was flushed, and he lowered his head in shame and said, "Your second uncle took the money to go for a walk, and wanted to go to the county to do business, but the yamen he was in contact with took the money but turned his face and didn't recognize anyone, not only the money I swallowed it privately, and I beat your second uncle, and he was not allowed to enter the county again..."

   If the Qin family had a caravan to collect seafood from various villages, they would not be able to enter the county seat.

"Originally, there was some money left by your grandfather, but your second uncle was frightened after being beaten and fell ill. He asked a doctor and took medicine again. The money was almost spent." Mei Shi wiped her tears away. Said: "No matter how difficult it was in the past, I could get through it with gritted teeth, but somehow your second uncle talked to the people in the county town to give your sister away..."

Mei Shi said with tears on her face: "Niuniu is only eleven years old, I really don't dare to let him interfere in my daughter's marriage. Now, every time I think of your eldest sister, my heart is like a knife twisted, Baolu, second aunt really I came to you because of desperation. I also know that our second room can’t handle you, and I don’t expect anything else, so you can give us the medical book that your grandmother handed over to you, maybe it will give Niuniu a new way of life.”

  Li Baolu's face sank, and she asked, "What's wrong with big sister?"

   Mei was silent.

Li Jun squeezed his fist and said angrily, "My father married the eldest sister to a bachelor in Liucun for two taels of silver. That person was exiled here because of his wife beating to death. There's no good meat left."

  Li Baolu's eyes were cold.

  Li He was not good to her before, and she didn't like Li He much, but that didn't mean she was willing to see her end like this.

   Besides, they are both daughters of the Li family and are connected by blood.

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

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

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

   She prioritizes sons over daughters, giving priority to all sons, but she also loves her daughter, and she is even willing to risk her life for her daughter.

She loves her eldest daughter, but she is afraid that her son-in-law will harm her son if she takes her home, so she can only bring her daughter back to live for a period of time from time to time. It was even worse, so he was willing to give up the Li family's heirloom to keep Niuniu.

   But now Li Baolu told her that it was useless at all. She was not too smart, but she felt that the sky was falling. She couldn't help slipping from the chair to the ground, hugging her knees and crying.

   She came to Li Baolu with great courage. She always remembered what her mother-in-law told her before she left.

   Li Baolu's family heirloom medical books are here. When her son grows up and can be alone, she will transcribe a set and return it to the family.

   Now that her son is not in charge of the family, she came to ask for medical books not for family heirlooms, but for goods and others, which put a huge pressure on her heart.

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

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

  Li Baolu looked at Li Jun and asked, "Brother in the lobby, what do you say?"

  Li Jun clenched his fists tightly, gritted his teeth and said, "I can't let my father 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 ambition, but he obviously doesn't have the ability to match his ambition," Li Baolu said lightly: "Even if I can help you stop this time, there will be another time. Which one do you want to keep?"

   Mrs. Mei was shocked when she heard the words, and couldn't stop crying. 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, "Second aunt, don't worry, I didn't mean to kill my second uncle. Murder is against the law, even if he is a criminal."

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

  Li Baolu grinned at her, "If Brother Lobby chooses Second Uncle, then I can't help it now, but if I choose cousin, I can make up my mind."

   A dim light flashed in Li Jun's eyes, his fists clenched tightly and said, "Niuniu is still young, she can't leave the house, the second sister can tell me what you think."

  Li Baolu looked at Mrs Mei and smiled, "Second Aunt, I have few family members and there are a lot of things in the kitchen. Can you help me go to the kitchen to see how the lunch is prepared."

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

  Li Jun looked at Li Baolu with bright eyes.

Li Baolu led him to the study and said, "My grandmother told me when she gave me the medical book, she originally gave me a dowry, and I will transcribe a set and pass it on to you when you grow up and can decide, so I don't know how to do it. I promise 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, in addition to the one handed down by my ancestors, there are also my grandfather's manuscripts that I have compiled over the years. Do you really have the heart to sell the hard work of your ancestors for generations?"

  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 one page, pointed to several medicinal herbs recorded on it, and said, "Plants are the most miraculous things in this world, they are obviously beneficial to the body or harmless when viewed individually, but according to the When combined in a certain proportion, they can compress the nerves of the brain, and turn a good person into a stroke patient, which will lead to death in severe cases, and weak limbs, crooked mouth and tongue, and completely speechless."

  Li Jun looked down at the medical book.

  Li Baolu said softly: "The best thing is that it is equally easy to get rid of this state. Several very common ingredients can be boiled and taken according to the proportions and they can return to normal, as long as the time is not too long."

   "Of course my Li family will not produce a father-killer, but it's still okay to let the second uncle rest and quiet for a while."

  Li Jun took the medical book, recited it over and over again, and kept it in his mind, then asked, "Where can I find these herbs?"

   "You don't even recognize it when you see it, I'll help you find it, but the rest is up to you to do it yourself."

  Li Jun looked at Li Baolu with complicated eyes.

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

   "If you make a choice, ask someone to send me an oral message, and then I will go to Li's house, and then I will be able to give you the medical book."

   Li Jun glanced at the medical book again, closed the book and said, "Give me the herbs as soon as possible, Niuniu won't be able to wait long."

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

   But this is impossible. Neither Mei Shi nor Li Jun are worried about the little sister at home. If it hadn't been for Li Baolu's herbs, Li Jun would have wanted to go home that day.

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

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

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