Little Thoughts

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.

He Yufeng stood in front of the window, his gaze fixed on Su Li.

Su Li felt a gaze on her. When she turned around to check, that gaze disappeared again.

"What the hell!" Su Li muttered softly.

After a while, the pig intestines were finally braised. Su Li removed the lid and a fragrance assaulted her nose.

"Smells good!"

Su Li cut the braised pig intestine and tasted it herself. Although the taste was not as good as it was in her previous life, it was already not bad with the limited resources she had.

The pig lungs did not need to be braised, and the cooking method was also simpler than the pig intestines. In order to prevent the taste from changing, Su Li marinated them slightly with salt.

Su Li yawned. She was really a little tired after a busy day.

She glanced at He Yufeng's room. The door was closed and there was no movement at all. He must have fallen asleep.

Su Li fetched water and took a shower. She really couldn't fall asleep because of the smell of sweat.

He Yufeng heard the commotion outside gradually stopped. He knew that Su Li was done with her work. He caressed the sleeping brothers' heads lovingly.

"With me around, no one can bully you, including your biological mother!"

The next day, Su Li woke up early.

"Try it."

Su Li placed the pig intestines on the table.

He Dahu and He Erhu shook their heads vigorously. They wouldn't eat this.

Su Li picked up a piece of pig intestine and ate it. "It's such a waste that you don't know how to eat such delicious food."

Throughout the entire process, Su Li was the only one eating. He Yufeng and his sons did not touch their chopsticks at all. Su Li did not force them. After all, it was useless to force them!

After Su Li was full, she took a plate and filled it with some braised pig intestines for Chen Xiang.

"What is this? It smells quite good!" Chen Xiang asked.

Su Li smiled and said, "Try it."

Chen Xiang did not doubt her. She picked up her chopsticks and tasted them. She raised her eyebrows in surprise.

"Sister Su Li, did you make this yourself? This tastes really good. You can even open a shop in town."

Su Li smiled and said, "This is the pig intestines I braised last night. I asked you for ginger in order to braise this thing."

Pig intestines?

Chen Xiang paused in her chewing. No wonder she said that the shape looked like a pig's intestine. She did not expect it to be true!

Chen Xiang praised from the bottom of her heart, "Sister, to be able to make such a taste with pig intestines, I have to say that your culinary skills are really amazing."

"It's so-so!" Su Li said humbly.

Chen Xiang looked at the plate full of food and said, "It's too much for you to bring me these. Take them back for the children to eat!"

Su Li shook her head and said, "Keep it. I still have a lot at home."

She asked again, "Have you taken the medicine I gave you yesterday?"

Chen Xiang did not need to answer this question. She knew that Chen Xiang had taken her medicine from the way she walked just now. Otherwise, her waist would not have recovered so quickly.

Chen Xiang nodded vigorously. "Yes, I did. I took the medicine you gave me last night. My back really doesn't hurt so much this morning!"

She had thought about it for a long time last night. In the end, her waist was really in pain. She had used the medicine that Su Li had given her as a last resort, but she did not expect it to really work.

Who knew that she had almost died before drinking the medicine!
