Chapter 19

After Su Li left, Chen Xiang looked at the medicine in her hand in a daze. Should she throw this medicine away or brew it and try it?

For the past few days, her waist had been hurting terribly. At night, it was so painful that she could not sleep. During the day, she had to get up and endure the pain to work. Her spirits were deteriorating day by day. If she fell one day, this family would be finished!

If the medicine Su Li gave her contained poison, then if she was poisoned to death after drinking it, this family would be finished. For a moment, Chen Xiang was in a dilemma.

Su Li did not expect Chen Xiang to think so much on her own. When she brought her things home, He Yufeng had already prepared the food.

Su Li glanced at the things on the table. Other than the oil residue, there were also two plates of black dishes. The color was unbearable to look at.

He Yufeng saw Su Li standing by the table in a daze as she watched him cook. A trace of embarrassment flashed across his face. He wasn’t good in other aspects, but he wasn’t too bad either. However, when it came to cooking, he was like a piece of rotten wood.

No matter how much he learned, it was useless. Even he did not want to eat the food he made every time.

Su Li turned around and saw He Yufeng standing behind her silently.

Su Li was about to speak when He Yufeng placed the bowl and chopsticks on the table and said.

“It’s time to eat.”

“Yes!”

Su Li turned around and shouted at the two little boys outside the house, “Stop playing. Wash your hands and eat.”

He Dahu and He Erhu obediently went to wash their hands.

At night, He Yufeng cooked mixed grain porridge. They did not have much money at home. If they did not eat sparingly, they might not be able to last through the month.

Su Li looked at the porridge in the pot and then at the two pitifully thin children. She frowned. It would be strange if the children grew up well if they ate like this every day!

He Jinbao from the old residence was fat, and her own children didn’t even have a tael of meat on their bodies. It couldn’t go on like this. She had to quickly improve their lives.

“What do you think this is?”

After dinner, Su Li took out the clothes she had bought for the two little fellows.

He Dahu and He Erhu’s eyes lit up as they looked at the clothes in Su Li’s hands nervously.

“Are these new clothes for us?” He Erhu asked.

Su Li smiled and nodded. “Yes, try and see if it fits after taking your shower.”

He Dahu and He Erhu were in a daze as they held the clothes in their hands. They couldn’t believe that this was real. Why would Su Li suddenly buy clothes for them? Could there be something strange?

They could not be blamed for thinking too much. After all, Su Li had a criminal record in the past!

The brothers took the new clothes and found He Yufeng.

“Father, she bought us new clothes and even asked us to put them on after showering.”

“Father, can we wear these clothes? Will she…”

They didn’t finish their sentence, but He Yufeng knew what they wanted to say.

He Yufeng was also very surprised. He really did not expect Su Li to do such a thing. Su Li had changed too much this time. If not for the fact that she was still the same person, he would have thought that she was an imposter.

No matter what Su Li was planning, as long as she dared to bully the children and do anything harmful to the children, she could not blame him for being impolite!

“Since she bought it for you, you can try it later,” He Yufeng said.

He could tell that the children liked the new clothes very much. If he refused, they would probably be very sad.

As expected, as soon as He Yufeng finished speaking, the two little fellows smiled happily.

Su Li did not have the time to care about the thoughts of the three of them. She was busy braising pig intestines in the kitchen.

The conditions were limited, and there were many missing seasonings. Su Li could only do her best to gather what seasonings she could get hold of.

The sky began to darken. In order to save money, they do not light up anything in their house. Now, it was dark everywhere. Only the kitchen had light. A huge figure sat in front of the stove.
