Mian Niang only felt that it was incomprehensible, as she did not know why she would say such words again.

tofu hyacinth did not finish her words, she had already eaten another piece of meat, and then she continued: "No matter how much you think about it, it's just a thought, your son will not marry you, you can only be our family's wife."

Mian Niang frowned as she looked at his mother-in-law, not knowing how she said those words. As she was thinking about how to refute her, the Elementary Scholar had already spoken.

"Let's eat, Mother."

His brows were furrowed more than Mian Niang's, and the gaze he used to look at his mother was filled with clear dissatisfaction.

tofu hyacinth's words stabbed into his weak spot. Wife, daughter-in-law, this woman was still a virgin even after marrying in, how could she be counted as a daughter-in-law.

tofu hyacinth didn't understand what his son meant after he was deflated by him. He just treated his son as a wife and felt his heart ache for him. He glared at Mian Niang in hatred and unhappily put away his words.

The Elementary Scholar lost his appetite and quickly ate a few mouthfuls before putting down his bowl and chopsticks. He wanted to say something to his mother, but felt that it was too much for him to say, so he could only say, "I'm done eating." He then returned to his room.

The remaining daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law looked at each other in disgust. The atmosphere became even more awkward and stiff.

After tidying up the table and washing the dishes, Mian Niang turned around and returned to her room.

The Elementary Scholar was not reading a book; it was hard to tell what he was thinking as he sat at his desk. His eyes were dark and gloomy.

Mian Niang did not want to provoke him, so she arranged the bed and prepared to rest. Second Aunt was right, she had already taken the medicine, so she had to recover from her illness.

Hearing the sounds coming from behind him, the Elementary Scholar turned his head and saw Mian Niang bent over, with female mother at the prime of his life with a narrow waist and round buttocks. Under the skirt were a pair of straight, slender, jade-like legs.

Even though there was only one view of his back, and everyone could see, there was one place that couldn't get hot.

The Elementary Scholar brewed for a long time before turning back, discouraged. He was still thinking about what had happened to him, and what should he do about it. He had hesitated for a long time today, but in the end, he did not ask. This kind of thing was not easy to say. Compared to finding out what happened to his illness, he was more afraid of others finding out that he was suffering from a hidden disease.

May-Second Aunt did as she said, she did come over at night to take care of tofu hyacinth next door.

Of course, Mian Niang understood that she was doing this all for him, and although she wouldn't say it out loud, she secretly remembered this kindness in her heart.

After taking care of tofu hyacinth, they finished washing up. The two laid on the bed, and May-Second Aunt wanted to chat with tofu hyacinth again, but the other party simply ignored them and pretended to be asleep with squinted eyes.

The May-Second Aunt was helpless and could only turn off the light and go to sleep.

Mian Niang woke up from her nightmare and dreamed that she was being chased by Gu Xin, who was riding a wild boar and had chased after her until she had nowhere to run. Mian Niang could only watch as Gu Xin grinned evilly and ordered the wild boar to open her mouth to bite him.

Mian Niang sat up, gasping for air, her blanket was completely drenched in sweat. Thinking back to the scene in her dreams, she felt that it was absurd, but at the same time, she felt a lingering fear.

He didn't know why he had such a dream.

When the fear and trepidation in his heart subsided, Mian Niang laid back down.

However, before she could close her eyes, she heard a strange sound from the people beside her.

At first, she thought that the Elementary Scholar was just talking in his sleep and didn't think much into it. But very quickly, Mian Niang realized that something was amiss.

She hurriedly pushed him away, but he just went past her and began to throw up.

Mian Niang quickly pulled out her body and lit a lamp, and the room gradually lit up. Only then did Mian Niang see that the Elementary Scholar's face was ashen, and in that short period of time, she had spat out a pile of filth.

didn't care about covering his nose, and immediately put on the clothes and went out to get the water for his Elementary Scholar. Unexpectedly, when he was under the tofu hyacinth's window, he heard a sound coming from inside the house.

Second Aunt of Mei Family opened the door and came out to get water, just like her.

It was only then that Mian Niang realized that tofu hyacinth and the Elementary Scholar were both vomiting.

"It's fine. It's just that I ate too much, so I threw up."

Second Aunt comforted Mian Niang.

Remembering the meat the mother and son had just eaten, Mian Niang immediately understood.

He was already used to eating coarse tea and light rice, so he would not be smeared with oil all year round. All of a sudden, he would eat a large amount of oily meat. Of course, his stomach would not be able to take it.

This wasn't like Gu Xin, who was at Jufu's table, where the meat and vegetables were balanced and the cooking skills of the chefs were also great, making it difficult for people to get tired of eating them.

When Mian Niang carried the hot water back to her room, the Elementary Scholar was still lying on his bed, but just as he finished vomiting, he smelt the hot water. The Elementary Scholar raised his head to look at Mian Niang, and then took the water back.

Mian Niang took the broom and cleaned up the room, then went to the next room and vomited all over tofu hyacinth.

May-Second Aunt extended her hand, but she stopped him.

It was already good that he was here to help. How could he let him pack these things?

That night, the mother and son pair vomited and complained for a long time. They did not stop until dawn. Mian Niang cooked some porridge and let the two of them eat some. That was better.

The Elementary Scholar was alright, but his face was even more ashen, and he looked much weaker.

tofu hyacinth was not so good. She had injured her leg, so she needed Mian Niang and May-Second Aunt to support her when she went to the toilet. Her leg was in excruciating pain.

His stomach started to feel better, and the pain in his legs was so excruciating, tofu hyacinth couldn't hold it in anymore, he laid on the bed and cursed.

May-Second Aunt could not stay and listen to her scold. Seeing that the mother and son were alright, she helped fill in the straw for the donkey and went home.

The smell in the two rooms was strong, so Mian Niang helped her open the window and went back to tidy up her own room.

The Elementary Scholar lay on the bed with his face turned up, but no one knew what he was thinking.

Mian Niang took a stool and went to bean curd to pick out the beans. The sun was rising higher and higher, and the neighboring Aunt Wang came over. They had heard that tofu hyacinth was injured and fell, so they came to visit him.

tofu hyacinth shouted at Mian Niang from inside the house for someone to pour water for him.

Mian Niang had no choice but to put down the work in her hands, poured hot water for Aunt Wang, who looked at her with a twinkling eyes.

Mian Niang did not mind, after greeting them, she went back to work.

Seeing that someone had walked out of the room, the Aunt Wang walked up to the tofu hyacinth and whispered: "Your daughter-in-law, what exactly happened yesterday?"

"What happened? I went up the mountain yesterday and sprained my leg. It's useless and I can't do anything."

tofu hyacinth rolled her eyes at the back of Mian Niang outside the window. She had indeed taken what May-Second Aunt said yesterday to heart, but it was not because she understood Mian Niang, but because she hated him even more.

"Not that."

Watching Mian Niang enter the bean curd, Aunt Wang's tone became even more mysterious.

"Why?"

Aunt Wang looked outside and lowered her voice even more.

Yesterday, I saw your wife coming back from the mountain with her. Both of them were wet, and when she walked to the door, they stopped and didn't come in immediately. Later on, I saw the apricot flowers coming out, and after the three of them spoke for a while in a mysterious manner, and then Erlang's wife gave the raincoat to the dumb son. Sister-in-law, did you see the affectionate look of your wife and the silly child?

she said, winking.

"No, nothing, what can happen, you must have seen wrongly, his Aunt Wang, you don't know, our Mian Niang is an honest kid, that idiot, he was also raised by us, he is not that kind of person."

tofu hyacinth tried his best to force out a smile, but he couldn't.

Aunt Wang patted her shoulder, and said without thinking much of it: "Sister-in-law, that's not right, we are separated by the stomach, who knows who is the kind of person, the foolish is indeed an honest child, but at such an age, young man, full of vigor, it is not strange at all, and furthermore, you did not see your second wife recruiting many people, when those half-grown boys saw her, their eyes were straight."

tofu hyacinth stopped laughing and looked out the window with a gloomy face. His expressionless face was a little scary, but no one knew what he was thinking about.

Aunt Wang sighed, "Sister-in-law, I'm not saying. Your second son's health is not good, so keep it in your heart. Don't let those people who acted honestly on the surface be blinded.

Seeing that tofu hyacinth's face was getting more and more unsightly, Aunt Wang tried her best to conceal the excitement in her heart, not revealing it on his face at all.

"Don't be too angry, this matter, you have to take it slowly, catch a thief for a loot, catch a thief for a scoundrel. Without any proof, don't let them beat you up, I don't have any other intentions. Sister-in-law, we got along well, I also don't want others to laugh at your family."

She stood up, shook off her clothes and comforted her again, "You should take good care of your illness, I'll be leaving first. If you have anything to say, just call me. "By the way, don't tell others that I was the one who told you about it. Your second sister-in-law is not someone who is easy to deal with. If she knew that I was the one who told you about this, wouldn't she rip my mouth off?"

"Don't worry, I won't say anything."

tofu hyacinth retracted his gaze and suppressed his anger as he spoke.

"Alright, then I'll be going, sister-in-law."

"You can go."

tofu hyacinth did not keep anyone, a storm brewing in his eyes.

When Aunt Wang left his room, she unconsciously stretched her neck out to look at the situation in the Elementary Scholar's room through the window. She could only give up and turn to the bean curd and greet Mian Niang.

"My wife, Erlang, I still have things to do at home, so I'll be going back first. If you have anything to say, just tell my sister-in-law that we're not outsiders, do you understand?"

Mian Niang stood up and said: "Mn, Aunt Wang, I understand. Take care."

As he spoke, he was about to leave.

Aunt Wang looked at Mian Niang's feet, and immediately stopped him, pushing him back onto the chair: "Child, look, what Aunt said, we are not outsiders, what kind of heart do you have, hurry up and work, your feet are inconvenient, don't come out to send us off."

Mian Niang was unable to reject her, and could only give up, and watched her leave.
