Chapter 2 The Strange Cousin

On the other side, under the scorching sun, Le Yan finally arrived at the medical clinic in the town.

But she didn't expect that the ginseng in her hand was worth at most two taels of silver, and she couldn't invite the doctor to her home.

When Le Yan was in trouble, she unexpectedly heard another disgusting voice in her ears.

"Hey, are you stealing ginseng from home?" A voice came, and Le Yan turned her head to look. It turned out to be Le Yu, the daughter of her second uncle Le Yuandong.

Le Yu has liked to bully Le Yan since he was a child. Ever since Le Yan's accident, he has been humiliated again and again.

Just now she saw Le Yan coming to town, so she followed him sneakily.

Unexpectedly, this unruly elder sister was selling such a good ginseng, so she shouted out jealously on the spot.

Le Yan didn't want to pay attention to her, but who knew that Le Yu got excited and stepped forward to grab the ginseng, "This is a ginseng that has been treasured in our home for a long time. It happened to be stolen by gangsters two days ago..."

"I didn't expect that my eldest sister was the thief! Do you dare to ask for this? Do you believe I will report it to the official?"

"Ah? This..." The medicine boy was stunned. This was the first time that their medical clinic had encountered such a thing when collecting medicinal materials.

"Brother, I found this ginseng, so feel free to take it! If something happens, I will bear it myself!"

The medicine boy saw that Le Yan didn't look like a thief, so he hesitantly put away the ginseng and said to Le Yan: "You go to see a doctor first, and we will settle the bill together later. We will refund the excess and make up for the less."

Le Yan nodded, it would be great if she could get the medicine for her mother, and she could invite a doctor to her home after she earns more money.

When Le Yu saw that Le Yan had really sold the ginseng, he angrily reached out to stop her, pointed at her nose and said: "Le Yan, I want to tell grandma, if you give me the ginseng now, I will take care of this matter."

Keep it a secret!"

Le Yan had no time to argue with her and sneered: "Le Yu, my grandma asked me to sell this ginseng. If you dare to take advantage of it, I will go home and tell grandma!"

"I do not believe!"

"Believe it or not, it's up to you!"

Le Yu's eyes rolled around and he said quietly: "How about you give me half of the money?"

Leyan smiled and slowly leaned closer to her ear, "No way!"

Le Yu was furious. She pointed at her nose and opened her mouth to curse loudly.

Le Yan, however, had a look of realization on her face, and said doubtfully: "Le Yu, hasn't the second aunt always trained you to be a lady? If you make a fuss now, your reputation will be damaged. You are married to a high-ranking official."

The goal may not be achieved!”

Le Yu choked. Her mother had trained her in music, chess, calligraphy and painting since she was a child. Unfortunately, she had no talent. She had not finished reading a three-character classic, let alone others. Marrying a high official was her ultimate goal.

Nothing can go wrong.

She gritted her teeth and stamped her feet to leave, but she felt unwilling to do so. She tilted her feet and pretended to fall, and slammed into Le Yan.

Le Yan swerved slightly and dodged, but Le Yu couldn't help but bumped into a pillar.

Le Yan walked to her side and "kindly" helped her, but who knew that her feet were not in the right position, causing Le Yu to "accidentally" trip and fall. Le Yu fell to the ground with his feet in the air.

Le Yan stood in front of her, with a sneer on her lips, but her words were full of concern, "Sister, are you okay?"

Leyu's arms and legs hurt, and he was so angry that he felt dizzy. He was raped by Leyan in front of so many people, but he couldn't express his pain.

She got up and pointed at Le Yan, and said viciously: "Le Yan, if you dare to bully me, you will not be able to enjoy the fruits of your life when you go home." After saying that, she turned around and left.

Le Yan sneered, patted the corner of her clothes, and turned around to grab medicine for her mother.

The doctor asked her to describe her mother's condition, and gave her a prescription and grabbed a few packets of medicine. After spending twenty taels of silver, she only had ten cents left. She bought five steamed buns and returned with the remaining five cents.

Gone home.

Seeing that she didn't get a doctor, Xiaobao was very disappointed and cried, "Didn't Mom get a doctor? What should grandma do?"

Le Yan quickly took out the medicine, pointed at the medicine and said, "Look, the doctor prescribed the medicine. Grandma will be fine after drinking it."

Xiaobao stopped crying when he heard this. Leyan took out the medicine she bought for Xiaobao, carefully cleaned him and applied the medicine.

She was really incompetent as a mother. Her son was injured but she had no ability to take him to see a doctor. Her desire to make money was stronger than ever in her heart.

She gave the steamed buns she bought to Xiaobao and asked him to eat them in the house while she went to the kitchen to make medicine for Ning.

They lived in the woodshed in the backyard. There were three large tile-roofed houses and four wing rooms in the front yard of Lejia. They looked very grand, but except for the kitchen, the front yard was a forbidden area for them, mother and son.

Mrs. Liu got angry when she saw her coming to the front yard, "You still have the nerve to come to the front yard? Wasn't it very arrogant just now?"

Le Yan glanced at her lightly, ignored her, and continued walking towards the kitchen.

Mrs. Liu was ignored by her, and her whole body was furious. She said to her second son Le Yuandong, "Second brother, catch this dead girl."

Le Yuandong was knitting straw sandals in the yard. When he heard his mother's words, he snorted and went out for a walk.

Le Yan wanted to laugh, Ms. Liu was so ignorant of current affairs and she still wanted to command her second uncle. Has she forgotten what she had done?

Back then, Le Yuandong had someone he liked, but because the girl's family was too poor, he was violently broken up by Liu and Letian. After that, he changed...

Le Yan went to the kitchen and started to make medicine for her mother, but Mrs. Liu didn't want to let her go, "You little bitch, give me the money you paid for selling ginseng, or I will kick you all out!"

Mrs. Liu looked at Le Yan triumphantly, as if she was confident of winning. It seemed that Le Yu had come back to complain.

Le Yan was busy boiling medicine in her hands, and said with fear on her face: "Grandma, don't drive us away. We have no place to go, so we have to go to the capital to join our father.

"Besides, the capital is too far away from here. What if the news about dad abandoning his wife and son accidentally spreads in the capital and he loses his official position?"

Ms. Liu was choked and didn't dare to say anything. Grandpa Le Tianci walked over slowly.

He said dissatisfiedly to Le Yan: "Look at what you look like now? How can your father stay in the capital if he doesn't marry an official girl!"

It was obviously the scumbag father who abandoned the mother and daughter, Le Yan snorted coldly in her heart.

"How did dad get admitted as a scholar, be promoted to a scholar, and then go to Beijing? I wasn't born yet at that time. People in the village said it was my mother who provided the gift. Grandpa, what do you think?"

"Nonsense!" Le Tianci scolded loudly. He looked at Mrs. Liu and said uncomfortably, "I offered it to you. Does your mother have the ability to do that?"

Le Yan pretended to be aggrieved, and pulled Le Tianci and said: "Grandpa, let's go to the village and explain it clearly. Otherwise, you will think that my father needs a family member to support him in his studies. This will be very bad for the Le family's reputation."

Already."

Letianci quickly stopped. What explanation could there be? Who in the village didn't know what happened back then?

"No!" Le Yan looked like she was thinking about him, "Grandpa is the head of the family. You support the whole family. When people in the village say that, aren't they saying that my father is a soft rice? It's also for your own good to explain clearly!"

"It's really not necessary." Le Tianci refused again, pulled his arm out of Le Yan's hand, and reminded angrily, "Hurry up and make some medicine for your mother! The sooner you take the medicine, the better."

Le Yan twitched the corner of her mouth mockingly. Everyone in the Le family knew what happened back then. They tried their best to avoid it and felt uncomfortable whenever it was mentioned. No one accepted the kindness of their mother at all.

After waiting for a while, seeing that the medicine was almost ready, Leyan prepared to put out the fire and pour it out after a while.
