Du Yuhan wanted to remind his adoptive parents in advance and use this opportunity to split up and live another life.

Du Yuhan said: "I overheard it in the first two days. My grandmother found me a few families, and in the end, one of them gave me the most bride price, an old bachelor in his forties. ”

Du Lianqiao stood up in shock and said angrily, "What you said is true?"

Du Yuhan nodded and said: "It's true, my grandmother originally wanted to agree, but there is another family, which is from the city, and the bride price is more." My grandmother is ready to say yes. ”

As soon as Du Lianqiao heard that it was from the city, he knew that there must be something wrong, otherwise who would be looking for a daughter-in-law in the countryside?

He trembled and asked, "What are the conditions for this?"

Du Yuhan replied calmly: "This is a young soldier, in his twenties, who was only injured and disabled on the battlefield and needs to be taken care of. The family is going to find him a daughter-in-law in the countryside, also to take care of him in the future. ”

Wang Yuqiao listened to her eldest daughter's words and cried, "Why is her grandmother so ruthless, isn't this to push Yuhan into the fire pit? Her sister-in-law is also fifteen years old, why don't you find someone for her, our Yuhan is still a child, how can we get married?"

Du Lianqiao's eyes were red, and he said angrily: "I'm going to find your grandfather and your grandmother, I can't let you marry such a person, you are only fifteen years old, not yet old." I'll talk about it in a few years. ”

Du Yuhan grabbed Du Lianqiao, who was walking out, and said, "Dad, you listen to me first." Even if you stop this family affair this time, my grandmother will still beat me up about the idea of marriage after a while. Rather than being passively restrained, it is better to take the initiative. Use my marriage to separate our family.

I thought about it, my grandmother asked me to marry the city family, and I agreed, but I had to let our family break up.

The family is also a high-ranking official family in the capital, and if it weren't for the disabled child, they wouldn't have come to the countryside to find a daughter-in-law. I married into the city, and they had the ability to transfer my hukou to the city, and I was the one who ate commercial grain, so I didn't have to worry about starving to death. As long as you can survive, it's okay to take care of a disabled person.

I overheard the matchmaker say that there are already many places that have been affected by the disaster, and that our harvest here is not good, and that there is a way out for me to get to the city.

If we are also affected by disasters here, we can at least have a better chance of survival for our younger brothers after we are separated. Otherwise, with my grandmother's eccentricity, we will all starve to death in the second room. ”

In order to persuade his father, Du Yuhan can only say this. She knew that Han Yixian's leg could be cured, and she would not marry Han Yixian in the end. It's just that I can't tell my father and mother about these things now.

Du Lianqiao watched her daughter talk about her own family affairs without any shyness, and knew that this incident had touched her daughter too much, and she couldn't care about being shy.

This is a major event related to her life, but she has to be traded by her grandmother, so she can't take care of anything else.

Du Lianqiao was depressed in his heart, he knew that if it was really the moment of life and death, the people in their second room would be the first to be abandoned. The stepmother was eager to squeeze the last drop of blood out of their second room.

Du Lianqiao complained about his father, because it was his father's connivance that made his stepmother even worse. He knew that if he didn't get tough, his children wouldn't be better, and maybe they would end up dead. Then he is not worthy of being a father.

He wanted to be filial to his parents, but he also had his own children to take care of, and he also confessed to the charge of unfilial piety for the sake of his children.

The oppression over the years has made Du Lianqiao endure to the limit, and now he feels that he can't bear it anymore when he hears that his stepmother wants to marry his daughter in exchange for a bride price.

Although the daughter was not born by herself, she was raised by her husband and wife little by little, and she had long been regarded as her own.

Du Lianqiao said with red eyes: "Yuhan, my father doesn't agree with you marrying a disabled person, and my father will find you a good family in the future, but not now, you are still young and a child, how can you get married?"

When Du Yuhan heard this, he hurriedly persuaded and said: "Dad, in this year, being able to survive is the most important thing, even if I find someone else in the future, I will marry to the countryside, doing farm work is more tiring than serving people, rather than marry into the city." In the future, I can help with something at home. ”

Wang Yuqiao covered her mouth to prevent herself from crying. She felt sorry for the gentle and beautiful female soldier who entrusted her daughter to her in the first place. If in the future she knew that they had married her daughter to a disabled person, would she resent them?

Wang Yuqiao looked at her daughter's thin body and knew that if her daughter didn't get rid of the Du family's oppression, it might be even worse.

Wang Yuqiao wiped her tears and said: "Father, do what Yuhan said, at least you can eat enough when you enter the city, and you don't have to do endless work every day." I'm afraid that if this continues, our daughter will be exhausted and starved to death. It's all because we can't afford to protect the children. ”

Du Lianqiao squatted under the edge of the kang and held his head with his hands, raised his head with red eyes, and choked up and said, "Yuhan, dad is sorry for you." ”

The family talked a lot and drank the pot of gruel that could illuminate the figure.

After eating, he was about to burn the kang, so Wang Yuqiao added water to the pot, and then took firewood to burn the fire.

Du Yuhan took out the quail eggs that she and her brother carefully took home from behind the water tank and whispered, "Mother, what do you think this is?"

Wang Yuqiao saw that her daughter was holding small bird eggs in her hand and asked in surprise, "Where did it come from?"

Du Yuhan said mysteriously: "Today, my eldest brother and I went to collect firewood and picked it up in the mountains. Mother, let's secretly cook it for our younger brothers. No one tells. ”

Wang Yuqiao also nodded happily and said, "Okay, listen to you, let's cook and eat secretly." ”

Wang Yuqiao also wanted to open it, they were just too real to be bullied by other rooms.

Du Yuhan washed the quail eggs and put them all into the pot, in fact, there were only ten quail eggs in total, and the quail eggs were small, and there were really not many.

Put some less water in the pot first, and when it boils, boil the eggs, add more water and save them for washing your face and feet.

The fire in the stove gradually burned, and the light of the fire shone on the faces of the mother and daughter, and they felt warm at this time. Heat gradually rises from the edge of the lid, the water boils, and the eggs are ready to boil in a while.

Du Yuhan got up and went to the back room to get a bowl, and Wang Yuqiao looked down at the fire in the stove.

At this time, the door with a crack was opened, followed by the voice of Du Yuhan's sister-in-law Du Lianjiao, "Second sister-in-law, there is no hot water in the pot in the hall, I'll come to you to get some." ”

The second room of the Du family is the best bully, and Du Lianjiao has to come to the second room to get hot water.

Before Wang Yuqiao could stop Du Lianjiao, she lifted the lid of the pot. When she saw the eggs boiling in the smoky pot, she exploded.

She shouted outside the door: "Mother, come quickly, come quickly! My second sister-in-law secretly boiled bird eggs to eat." ”
