Xu Zhiyong's leg hurt again.

The old man invited the doctor to come, saying that he still needed good medicine, and the doctor prescribed the medicine, and An Ning took out the five taels of silver that Wen Xiucai gave Xu Zhiyong to grab the medicine.

At night, An Ning sat on the edge of the bed and worried.

Brother Ying saw it and asked An Ning in a low voice: "Mother, are you worried about the second uncle's medicine fee?"

An Ning nodded: "Now my mother doesn't have much money in her hands, and my mother originally wanted to send you to the school to study, but at this time, your second uncle's affairs are important, and your affairs can only be put later." ”

"I'm fine. ”

Brother Ying was very sensible, he sat down to comfort An Ning: "It's the same for me to study at home, my father left a lot of books, I read them one by one, I can ask my mother if I don't know, otherwise, I can take the books to ask my grandfather." ”

An Ning touched Brother Ying'er's head: "My Brother Ying is really sensible." ”

Sister Lan also got up and beat An Ning's back: "Mother, you have worked hard, otherwise you can teach me embroidery, and when I learn it, my mother will not have to stay up late every day." ”

An Ning smiled, hugged Sister Lan and sighed: "Okay, my mother knows, but Sister Lan is still young, and my mother will teach you embroidery in two years." ”

Coaxed the two children to sleep, and worked peacefully all night.

In the main room, the old man and the old lady were also sighing.

The old lady saw through the window that there were still candles lit in the room of Anning in the east room, and when the candlelight flickered, she could see Anning's figure bowing her head and working.

In the west wing, the family in the second room slept deeply and fragrantly.

She thought of Feng Shi just helping the family do more work and looked aggrieved, but An Ning tried her best to make money but never complained, and would happily come to comfort her during the day.

In such a comparison, the old lady's heart naturally went to Anning.

The old lady said to the old man: "You used to blame me for being partial to the eldest daughter-in-law, so now you can see if I am biased." ”

The old man is now convinced: "Old woman, I'm not as good as you can look at people, the eldest daughter-in-law is really a good one, I used to blame her." ”

The old lady pouted: "Look at the children of the old family and the children of the second family, how well the eldest daughter-in-law teaches the children, has a good heart, a big belly, and is smart and clever, but what about the second family? The eldest girl is too honest, the second girl is stupid and poisonous, and the dog knows how to eat and play stupidly, ouch, my head hurts when I think about it now." ”

After a few days, the old lady found that the bracelet on An Ning's hand and the hairpin on her head were gone.

She is still dressed very neatly, the whole person is clean and tidy and spiritual, but there is no decoration on her head, just use a blue rope to fix her hair, and the wooden hairpin on her head should be made by An Ning herself, and the workmanship is not fine.

Seeing An Ning like this, the old lady asked Sister Lan in private.

Sister Lan is still young, and the old lady coaxed out the truth: "My mother's jewelry has been sold, and my mother said that the second uncle will spend a lot of money on medicine in the future, if we don't care, the second uncle will be abolished, we are all a family, compared to the second uncle's life, those jewelry are nothing." ”

It happened that Xu Daya was about to ask the old lady about something, and when she heard this, she withdrew again.

She found a place to cry properly.

After that, Xu Daya found Anning.

An Ning was quite puzzled when she saw that Xu Daya came to her: "Big girl, is there something wrong with you coming over?"

Xu Daya knelt down for An Ning with a plop.

"Auntie, I'm sorry, I have always misunderstood you before, and now I can see clearly who is the good guy and who is the bad guy. ”

An Ning hurriedly helped Xu Daya up: "You child, what are you talking about, I am your aunt and elder, and I can't deal with you with a child." ”

Xu Daya's eyes were red when she cried.

She rubbed her eyes: "I know that the eldest aunt is worried about my father's affairs, I ...... I just thought that the eldest aunt had dealt with the rich and noble families in the town and the county, and there must be a way, auntie, you, you help me think of a way, find a better family, I want to be a girl, I can't be a rough girl or make some money. ”

Xu Daya sincerely wanted to go out to work and see a doctor for Xu Zhiyong.

It's just that this girl doesn't know much and doesn't know anyone.

She didn't dare to find someone's teeth, for fear that she would be pitted by someone's teeth, and if she thought about it, she could only come to seek peace.

An Ning has done embroidery for those big families, and there must be her way.

And An Ning is her eldest aunt, and she will never pit her.

Xu Daya looked at An Ning worriedly: "Auntie, I, I don't dare to find someone's tooth." ”

An Ning pulled Xu Daya to sit down: "I know that you are kind-hearted and want to reduce the burden on your family, but I can't help you with this." ”

"Why?"

Xu Daya was shocked: "I don't sign the death contract, I, I sign the life contract, and I will come back after a few years." ”

An Ning smiled very gently, took Xu Daya's hand and whispered: "Our family is in trouble now, but it won't be so difficult for a lifetime, after this hurdle, our family's life will get better day by day, at that time, I still want to send Brother Ying and Gou Yu to study, I want to let the two children take the imperial examination, but if you become a girl, have you thought about what will happen to your two younger brothers? They will be laughed at in the future, and there are people in the family who are slaves, do they still want to take the imperial examination?"

In one sentence, Xu Daya was sober.

She knew how much hope the elderly in the family had for their children's education, and she knew that the family wanted to live a good life, and the only way to let her two younger brothers change their homes through reading.

And if she becomes a girl, the impact on her two younger brothers is particularly great.

Thinking about it like this, Xu Daya knew that the road of being a girl would never work.

She covered her face and cried sadly: "What should I do, what should I do?"

An Ning patted Xu Daya's shoulder with pity: "Don't worry, I will find a way to deal with money, what you can do now is to take good care of your father, and our family will work together to get through this difficulty." ”

"Okay, I got it. ”

Xu Daya looked up at An Ning.

She was glad she had come to find An Ning this time.

If she really found someone to sell herself in a moment of confusion, how far would she have to affect her family?

Xu Daya didn't think about what she would do in the future, Zuo was only a slave and a maid all her life, but for the sake of her father and this family, she was willing.

But she couldn't help but think about her two younger brothers.

If it was really because of her that she had affected her two younger brothers, she wouldn't be able to die at ease.

An Ning sent Xu Daya away, and did embroidery work for two days and two nights in a row, which made the old man and the old lady feel full of guilt, and Xu Daya also whispered this to Xu Zhiyong.

Xu Zhiyong, a man who is not good at words, shed tears.

He said to Xu Daya: "Your aunt's kindness to our family is not over in this life, aunt, you have to respect your aunt well in the future, and you will be filial to her when you grow up in the future, do you hear?"

Xu Daya nodded.

Before she could say anything more, Feng called her to work outside.

Xu Daya hurriedly ran out to give Feng a hand.

It's just that Xu Daya has not been idle in the past few days, she has to help Feng work during the day, and she has to take care of Xu Zhiyong and Xu Erya at night.

Feng Shi saw that Xu Daya would squint there, and it seemed that he was going to be lazy, and he was not angry for a while.

She pulled a burning stick and slammed her head and face at Xu Daya.

"If you're too lazy to die, you can sleep on a fire, what else do you say, why don't you die, why don't you die?"

Feng has been angry for the past few days, the old lady beats and scolds her every day, An Ning has a very bad attitude towards her, and she doesn't dare to resist, these fires have no place to vent in her heart, and they almost suffocate her to death.

Now it's just taking advantage of this opportunity to get angry, and it also makes my heart happy.

And Xu Daya was scolded and beaten by Feng so much, the whole person was stupid.

Feng's image in her heart has always been gentle and virtuous, and she also loves her children.

But it's such a person, and now he's beating her with a hideous face.

Feng's image collapsed instantly, and Xu Daya looked at Feng as if she was looking at a stranger.
