  Pink 130 plus more.

  ………

  "Of course it's true." Mr. He said, "I've bought them at the dried fruit shop and the grocery store in town, but none of them are as delicious as yours. Man'er, is there any more? Give me some more."

  "Second Aunt said with a smile, but it's not as delicious as the ones bought in town, Second Aunt is...” Before Lian Miao could finish her sentence, a shrill cry was heard from upstairs. The cry was extremely mournful, as if something terrible had happened.

  He didn't even bother asking Lianmang for peanuts and rushed a few steps to the door of the upper house.

  "Hey, Flower, what are you doing? You're crawling into the stove pit?" He's family exclaimed, not entering the room but speaking in a startled tone from the doorway.

  Just now that cry seemed to be Lian Hua'er and Lian Man'er, who couldn't help but feel curious. In the 72nd chapter, Lian Hua'er was injured and walked to the door of the upper house, looking inside.

  Outside the house, firewood was piled up in a mess. Lian Duo was squatting under the stove, burning her face with soot and ash all over it. Lian Hua was standing there, one of her pant legs was on fire. Lian Hua's face had lost all its color, she was jumping around, seemingly wanting to escape the flames. Of course, this was useless, Lian Hua's pants were made of silk, which burned extremely quickly, and half of her pant leg was already burnt, the flames had already spread to her knee.

  Lian Hua was scared to tears, what should she do? Jiang Shi was chopping vegetables on the cutting board behind her and heard Lian Hua's cry. She hurried over with one hand busy patting out the flames on Lian Hua's legs, but her strength was too weak, and she was afraid of hurting Lian Hua, so it had no effect.

  Lian Hua's face was flushed with anxiety and pain, tears streaming down her cheeks.

  "Sister-in-law, think of a way quickly, it's burning me." Lian Hua'er said.

  "Quickly fetch water, fetch water to pour." Jiang's mind suddenly moved, and he finally thought of a way.

  Lian Duo'er, who was standing beside her, hastily grabbed the water scoop next to her, scooped up a scoop of water, held it with both hands, and splashed it onto Lian Hua'er's legs.

  The spark was indeed extinguished.

  Lian Duo'er and Jiang Shi hadn't even had time to let out a breath of relief when Lian Hua'er suddenly let out a miserable cry and fell to the ground.

  "Duo'er, what water did you use to treat Lian Hua's injury in the 72nd chapter?" Jiang Shi hurriedly went to support Lian Hua and asked Lian Duo'er.

  "Water, that is..." Lian Duo'er glanced into the large pot. She had never done any work before, and in her panic, the water in the large pot was closest to her, so she could only think of the water in the large pot.

  That was a pot of boiling water with splashing waves, and the fire under the big pot was still burning.

  Lian Hua'er was already in so much pain that she had fainted.

  He let go of his hand on the door and walked into the house. Lian Man'er also followed him in.

  "Oh my, how could you scald it like that? This leg isn't cooked yet!" He Shuang looked at Lian Hua's leg. "Duo'er, why did you use boiling water to scald your sister Hua? Now your sister Hua's leg is crippled. Your mother will kill you."

  Lian Duo'er was so scared that her face turned white, she stood still for a moment, then ran towards the backyard.

  At this time, Jiang could no longer care about Lian Duo'er and also cried. While crying, he called out to Lian Jizu.

  Lian Jizu heard the sound and came out, saw Lian Hua'er's appearance, was also shocked, and together with Jiang Shi, they carried Lian Hua'er into the house. Gu Shi hurried from the pigpen upon hearing the noise, Zhou Shi and Lian Xiu'er also arrived.

  Lian Ji Zu was immediately driven out to invite Lang Zhong.

  "What's going on? Why are they cooking?" Lian Man'er was somewhat puzzled.

  "You still don't know? Yesterday evening, your grandfather got angry. He said that everyone in the family works hard every day, but nothing has happened, and we can't spoil the eldest branch of the family anymore. Today it's their turn to cook. Your grandmother also said that they should do some work, no one is allowed to help them."

  No wonder I saw Gu Shi carrying a pig food bucket to feed the pigs early this morning. Yesterday, Lian Shou Xin didn't even tell Zhang Shi about it. It must be in Lian Shou Xin's mind that doing household chores is a matter of course and doesn't count as punishment at all.

  It seems that the countryside is different from those big households in the city. Lian Menger thought to herself, she had read many articles before, and in those books, the punishments meted out by wealthy families to their womenfolk were mostly house arrest, copying scriptures, or at most, kneeling in the ancestral hall. Country folk didn't bother with such niceties. It seems that Lao Yezi thought that the difference between the main house and other houses lay in whether they worked or not, believing that labor could reform people, so he wanted to achieve the goal of punishment and reformation by making Lian Hua and the others participate in labor.

  Who would have thought that the first time Lianhua burned incense, something like this would happen?

  Lian Man'er was just thinking about it when she heard Gu Shi's heart-wrenching and tearful crying coming from inside the house.

  "My flower, my poor flower..."

  Won't Lian Hua just die like this? Without saying a word, Lian Man hurriedly followed He Shi into the west room. On the kang in the west room, both Old Master Lian and Lian Shouren were frowning, with Lian Hua placed at the head of the kang, lying along the edge. Gu Shi sat on the kang, holding Lian Hua, Zhou Shi sat on the edge of the kang, while Lian Xiu'er and Jiang Shi stood below the kang.

  Lian Mian'er walked away, and at a glance, she saw Lian Hua'er's leg exposed outside. Her heart suddenly tightened. The pants on that leg were burned to shreds below the knee, hanging in tatters. Lian Hua'er's originally snow-white thigh was bright red from the top of her thigh down. There seemed to be one or two places with burns, and later they were scalded by boiling water, making them even more unbearable to look at.

  Lian Hua'er had already woken up, gritting her teeth and enduring the pain. Her eyes were wide open, and the expression in them made people feel a chill in their hearts.

  "What can be done about this?"

  "It's just a leg injury, the bone should be fine, fortunately it didn't break." Zhou said with a furrowed brow.

  At this, Gu's wife burst into tears.

  This is also a broken appearance, Gu thought to himself. The family that Lian Hua married into was not an ordinary rural household. For an ordinary rural household, marrying someone with good looks is secondary, the main thing is whether they have a good heart, can work hard and can give birth. But for a family like the Song's, their requirements are obviously more refined. The reason why Song Hai Long insisted on marrying Lian Hua was mainly because of her beautiful appearance.

  But Gu was very clear in people's minds, it wasn't just about having a pretty face, the body couldn't be ugly either, especially when marrying into a family like the Song's. If Lianhua's leg were to leave a scar, then the original 90% beauty would become 50%. How could she capture Song Hailong's heart? Without capturing Song Hailong's heart, how could she stand firm in the Song household?

  Gu's anxiety grew as he thought about it more and more, his sadness deepening until he was crying uncontrollably.

  "What a waste of good coal! If I had burned it like this, would I still be able to afford a husband? Don't scold me for being incompetent?" He Shi muttered under her breath.

  Lian Hua'er seemed to have heard He Shi's words, her eyes coldly swept over. Lian Man'er standing near He Shi also felt the resentment in that gaze.

  Just then, they heard the sound of hurried footsteps outside, and it was Lian Ji Zu who had invited Li Langzhong from the village to come over.

  Everyone was busy and Gu's family didn't care about the distinction between men and women, so they invited Li Lang to sit down on the kang for Lian Hua'er to treat her injury.

  "Is this a burn? What did you use to burn it?" Li Langzhong looked at Lian Hua's injury and frowned. Rural people usually get some big or small injuries while working, but such severe ones are rare.

  "It's... it's boiling water." Gu cried, pleading, "Li, please, save my daughter. No matter what method you use, just don't leave any scars. My Flower is only 16 years old, and she's getting married next month..."

  Li Langzhong was the only doctor in the village, and at that time, there was no distinction between internal medicine and surgery, especially for rural doctors. They were usually general practitioners who could handle everything, but at the same time, they found it difficult to specialize in anything. Normally, they could deal with minor illnesses, but if it was a serious illness or such a severe burn, and the patient had such requirements, Li Langzhong would obviously be unable to cope.

  "Your daughter's burn, I'm afraid it won't heal well." Li Langzhong said, "I usually prepare some burn ointments for the elderly in our village, they can stop pain and bleeding, but not leaving scars is beyond my ability. Why don't you go to Ji Sheng Tang in town and take a look? I heard they have specialized burn cream that's definitely much better than mine."

  "First give the flower some relief from pain." Lian Xiuer suddenly interjected.

  Lian Man'er glanced at Lian Xiu'er, it seemed that Lian Xiu'er was genuinely kind to Lian Hua'er, and that matter had not affected their relationship.

  "Yes, yes, first give the flower some pain relief." Gu Shi also hurriedly said.

  Li Langzhong nodded and quickly wrote a prescription, handing it over to Lian Shouren.

  The wounded Lian Hua'er is now awake, and Li Langzhong's request to leave no scars cannot be fulfilled. Feeling that there is nothing he can do here, he finishes the house call, stands up, and takes his leave.

  "It's better not to invite him, the village doctor can't diagnose anything." Gu Shi was getting anxious and turned her head towards the kang, "Why don't you hurry up and go to town to get the medicine, buy some medicinal paste too."

  "Go quickly, Brother, and your sister will be entirely dependent on you." Lian Shouren then instructed Lian Jizong.

  Jiang's eyebrows furrowed slightly, his eyes scanned the faces of the people in the room, but ultimately didn't find what he was looking for.

  "Ah." Lian Jizong responded with a single word and was about to head out.

  "You, as a father, can't you just go? Can't you just buy some medicine and ask a doctor to come over? Yes, let's invite Dr. Wang." Madam Gu held onto Lianhua'er tightly, her tears never stopping.

  "I'm going for a walk." Lian Shouren stood up from the kang.

  "Dad." Lianhua suddenly spoke up.

  Lian Hua'er woke up and looked at the wound on her leg, then she didn't say a word, just biting her lip tightly. At this moment, she suddenly opened her mouth, I don't know what she wanted to say.

  "Father, go invite Dr. Shi," Lian Hua'er said to Lian Shouren, "the one who treated Fourth Aunt's illness."

  "Yes," Lianhua's words reminded Gu, "Invite Dr. Shi, didn't he come from the palace? He has served the Empress Dowager and the princesses, he must have good prescriptions that can prevent scarring on Hua'er's leg. Master, this is not just about Hua'er's whole life, no matter what, we must invite Dr. Shi."

  "Dad, daughter is begging you, must invite Dr. Shi to come." Lianhua said with tears in her eyes.

  Tears, why isn't the pink stock rising? The additional updates aren't powerful enough? Weak Yan only updated once, but there's a big surge of pink, however it's not surging in Weak Yan's territory, it's surging elsewhere. What kind of logic is this? Being bitten by PP, seeing the pink rise quickly, 555, Weak Yan's additional updates are very hard work.

  Ruo Yan is a silly girl who only knows how to use "add more" to ask for pink. This is still Ruo Yan's first time rushing the new book pink list, one book can only have one chance to rush this list.

  Call for support from young people.

  Weak Yan first brought up Jiageng. Seeking 140, 150, 160...

  Will there be updates today?

  It is by 】.!!!!
