Chapter 9 The Secret of Life

Chen Ahfu's nose was almost crooked with anger. Damn, this man is too bad. If she had strong hands, she would definitely use a shovel to knock a hole in his dog head. Anyway, she is a fool now, and fools don't need to take responsibility if they hurt people.

But her hands were weak, and she couldn't even lift the shovel, let alone hit people. What she practiced best now was her mouth, and she mobilized various organs in her mouth.

The man took out a few pieces of black candy from his arms again, raised his eyebrows and whispered, "This candy is very sweet, Ah Fu, do you want to eat it? If you want to eat it, go out and play with your brother..."

Chen Ahfu spit out the saliva accumulated in her mouth at the man with all her strength.

Then she cursed, "Bah, your mother - only has big breasts and a big butt, this candy - give it to your mother to eat, you and your mother have fun." Although she still stuttered a little, her voice was loud, and her voice was like a broken gong, which sounded really scary.

The man was first spitted on the face, and then cursed a few times, which frightened him. He didn't expect that this fool would not only spit, but also curse, and the voice was loud and ugly, which was completely inconsistent with her pretty appearance. Looking at her eyes again, they were staring as if they were about to spit out fire.

He wiped his face, clenched his fist and cursed, "You fool, you dare to spit on me, I will beat you to death."

Wang heard the noise in the house and hurriedly ran out with a broom, cursing as she ran, "You shameless second beggar, I will beat you to death."

The second beggar saw Wang holding a broom in her hand and a few passers-by looking over here, and ran away in fear.

Wang dropped the broom, pulled Chen Afu and asked in a low voice, "Did the bad guy touch you?"

"No." To comfort Wang, Chen Afu said, "I spit on him and scolded him."

Wang sighed and said, "Afu should stay in the house."

Chen Afu didn't want to go back to the hut. The yard not only had fresh air and was conducive to activities, but also had sunlight to supplement calcium, which was very important for her recovery. She shook her head and said, "I won't go back. Mother - don't worry, I'm not stupid anymore, I won't be tricked out by others."

Wang was happy again and smiled, "Yes, my Afu is cured."

Chen Ming had finished his meal and walked out and said, "Juan Niang, if Afu wants to get some fresh air in the yard, let her stay. I'll stay here with her."

After that, he sat under the eaves to weave straw sandals. Wang took the dirty clothes to the stream to wash, and then hurried back to embroider.

After weaving for a while, Chen Ming would take a break and cough a few times. Last night, he coughed from time to time. Sometimes he couldn't stop coughing, and it took a quarter of an hour to slow down.

This should be tuberculosis. In the past life, it was not a serious disease, and Western medicine could cure it. But in ancient times, this disease was considered a serious disease, and it could not be cured. You had to rest well, eat well, and exercise well. If you were not good, you would die.

This old man is really good, and Chen Afu doesn't want him to die early. She remembered that Lin Daiyu had this disease, and it seemed that eating bird's nest regularly was good for this disease.

She also saw a legend on the Internet that Li Shizhen diagnosed a woman with tuberculosis and was helpless, saying that it could not be cured. A few years later, the woman appeared in front of Li Shizhen again. It turned out that she was rescued by a fisherman when she jumped into the sea to commit suicide. He fed her eels every day, and finally her disease was cured, and she even promised to be with him and had children.

Although this legend is a bit exaggerated, modern medicine has also proved that eels can improve immunity, improve yin deficiency, and are indeed highly effective in assisting the treatment of tuberculosis.

But how can this family afford bird's nest, eel and other nutritional products when they are so poor?

And A-Lu, Dabao said that A-Lu fell down from a tree while trying to fry bird eggs three years ago and broke his leg. At that time, the family did not think it was so serious. Chen Ming's illness happened to be serious at that time, and Chen Dabao was young, so they did not pay much attention to him, thinking that he would be fine after nursing him. Who would have thought that the best treatment period would be delayed, and little A-Lu would become lame. Wang cried a lot for this matter, and Old Lady Chen scolded Wang severely, so she disliked Chen A-Fu and Chen Dabao even more.

Chen A-Fu felt distressed when he thought of that sensible younger brother.

He still had to exercise quickly and make more money. With money, this family would have hope.

Chen A-Fu kept walking while thinking about ways to make money, kicking her legs and stretching her arms. She walked to the backyard, which was smaller than the front yard, with only a chicken coop and a toilet.

This family is too small, so they need to expand the yard and build a few more houses. She turned to the front yard again and heard a chicken crowing non-stop at the gate.

Chen Ming said, "That's our hen. I'm afraid it's about to lay eggs. Open the door and let it in."

Chen Afu opened the door, and a chicken really ran in and ran to the backyard. Not long after, a "cluck" sound came from the backyard, and Chen Afu found an egg in the chicken coop.

She smiled with curved eyebrows and said to Chen Ming, "Dad, chickens are so smart." After saying this, she felt that she had really become an idiot, and secretly pooh-poohed twice.

Chen Ming laughed and said, "Livestock also have spirituality."

Chen Alu and Chen Dabao went home at noon with firewood on their backs.

After dinner, except for Wang who continued to work, the others went to the kang for a nap.

When Chen Afu woke up, Chen Dabao was gone. She was lying on the kang doing oral exercises and heard footsteps coming from the yard.

Then came Chen Ming's voice, "Mom is here."

An old woman's voice, "Second brother, look at you, you're already tired after just getting better. Your wife makes a lot of money, why are you still working so hard?"

Chen Ming smiled and said, "It's uncomfortable for my son to sit there doing nothing. This job is not tiring, and it can earn a few coins."

Mrs. Chen said unhappily, "I have a burden, and I have to raise a wild one..."

"Mom," Chen Ming quickly interrupted Mrs. Chen's words and whispered unhappily, "Mom, don't talk nonsense. Juanniang is a good woman, and Ah... is also a poor child. Mom, don't say these hurtful words anymore. My son doesn't like to hear them."

Mrs. Chen said, "I said this because I saw your wife, A Lu, and Da Bao all went out, and the stupid one didn't understand. I'm not cruel, I really feel sorry for you and A Lu. If you don't support these idle people, you can eat more good food, and A Lu's leg won't be delayed..."

Then there was a whisper, and Chen Afu only heard one or two sentences clearly, something about your wife leaning towards the previous one, and Chen Ming couldn't stop it. He coughed in anger, and the old lady stopped talking. She also added, "Don't worry, second brother, I haven't told anyone about this. After raising her for more than ten years, the old woman still has some feelings for that silly girl. But seeing Ayuan lame, it hurts..."

Chen Afu was completely awake. It turned out that there was a shocking secret in this body! If this is true, it is understandable that the old lady doesn't like her and Chen Dabao. After all, the family is poor and it is difficult to support their own people, let alone support outsiders.

Even though she had just come here for a day, she could see that Wang was very good to her. In this family, her treatment ranked second, second only to Chen Ming. Moreover, she spent money to support Chen Dabao, the guarantee for Chen Afu's second half of life.

Chen Ming was not only not angry, but also regarded them as relatives.

This man is not only kind, but also broad-minded.
