Volume 1 A Small Town Story Chapter 97 Poverty and Kindness

Back at home, the worried Yu's mother began to ask long and short questions, Yu's father looked angry, scolded and talked about the matter before and after, the cause was a little quarrel on the mahjong table, it was nothing at all, but Zuo Laosi took this opportunity to say something unpleasant, nothing more than to point to Yu's father, just tell him on the hour, and if he doesn't stop, the old Song family will not give up.

When Yu's mother heard the old Song family, she was a little scared: "Then let's not accept it in the coming year, we can't afford to offend the old Song family." ”

"Collect! Why don't you accept it? Collect it at the beginning of spring!" said Yu's father stubbornly.

Yu Yue knew that most of the grain sold in the rural areas was divided into two batches, and the first wave was from the end of autumn to the beginning of the year, when the grain was heavy and the price was low.

There are also those who like to keep dry food, the price of dry food is high, although the amount of moisture will be reduced, but generally speaking, the price difference can be made up, unless the price of food fluctuates greatly, if the price of the same moisture drops, it will be a loss.

But farmers have planted the land all their lives, of course, they still have experience, and they generally look at the sprouts, of course, most of the time they still keep dry food to earn more, so they generally sell after the beginning of spring to before April and May.

Now that the harvest has been completed before the year, we will have to wait until about the first month of the year to continue to harvest grain.

"Why are you so stubborn! The old Song family can do anything, it's not worth it!" Yu's mother said bitterly.

"I'll take it and see what they can do!" Yu Dad said.

"What else can they do, why can't they do it!" said Yu's mother.

"They used to meet bears, they beat me to try, I killed them!" Yu's father was very confident.

Yu Yue was surprised, he didn't expect his father, who usually doesn't quarrel or quarrel, to be so rigid!

But don't say it, it really makes sense, the village tyrants like the old Song family are just scaring and scaring people, and they feel like they are very social, and they dare not do it when they kill people and set fires, that is, they scare and scare ordinary people.

Of course, it's not a scare, there are a lot of people who beat them, but they are all treated, just pay some medical expenses if they die, don't think about it, and many people don't dare to sue.

Yu Yue felt that what his father said was right, if he really went to sue them, they would be confused, and they would have to be obedient, the reason why no one sued was because these guys threatened me to kill your whole family if they dared to scold at every turn. So most of them died down under the persuasion of others, thinking that the other party would be satisfied with the medical expenses, who let us offend people.

This kind of trick is purely to scare people, which is not the material, of course, people who are afraid are really afraid, because they can't tell whether what the other party says is true or false, especially these people love to drink a lot of wine, and they are confused and confused, and they are beaten up, and it is really possible to make a mistake.

It's not that I'm blindly worried, this kind of thing is not uncommon, it's in Yue's family, there are people who drink too much and do anything, chop off their daughter-in-law's hands, pick out their own eyeballs, honestly fight with others, and dare to beat the police officer fiercely, and the drink is not like alcohol at all, just like taking drugs and stimulants.

Yu Yue originally thought that drinking too much would be like this, but after going out, after socializing with various bosses every day, he found that he was bragging about dying. B and impulsive, but not to see the loss of reason.

Later, he drank too much, and after going home to drink, he found that the inferior wine in the countryside was very problematic, and the degree was not high, but it was uncomfortable to die after drinking.

Especially in my hometown, who drinks and drinks at every turn, is sick, and then slowly dies, and the common people generally call this person to drink to death.

Yu Yue hadn't heard of this kind of drinking death outside, but it was very widespread in his hometown, so later he felt that the rural area was a fake wine, at least most of it.

Therefore, even if Lao Tzu is not afraid, Yu Yue has to be prepared, not to mention that he also knows that his father is not iron-beaten, and it is nonsense to say a little false, it may be a little annoyed that he was pointed on the head, plus those people are strong, and it is not easy for him to retreat for the sake of face.

Yu Yue didn't discuss the issue with his parents because he was thinking about how to cope.

It's not difficult to deal with, an old Song family is just a villager, no matter how powerful it is, it's just a township tyrant, we can both wait for six to call, and they don't pay attention to it.

Of course, Yu Yue is not going to use Hou Liu for this matter, because if you use too much, you will expose too much, if you really have fun, you can't see the light, Boss Zhou's person is good, although he is not black, but he has money and can't find it.

But looking for Boss Zhou, Yu Yue was ready to change his way.

Because he keenly sensed a problem, the people of this town had enough of the old Song family.

In the past, Yu Yue didn't know that the old Song family had delayed collecting grain for a while, and thought that there would be a price war to collect grain here, but now he knows that it is very popular for his father to help Boss Zhou collect grain with cash, so at the same price, everyone must choose Boss Zhou, so this market is promising.

Since the cake is not small, and since it has offended the old Song family, then just don't do it and do it!

Yes, go back and talk to Boss Zhou.

On the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month, Yu's father went out to do mahjong again, and Yu Yue and his mother watched TV at home with melon seeds.

The two were watching and chatting, heard a sound of opening the door, and then saw a person walk in, Yu Yue looked, it turned out to be the third child, and politely called the third uncle, not really any relatives, but Tunli people, who can talk about the relationship, so they all have a name.

"Ah, that, the eldest nephew is back?" Sheng Laosan spoke a little slurred, not stammering, mainly inferiority.

He is a cripple, Yu Yue doesn't know if he was born with it, anyway, he was conscious, he was lame when he knew this Tunli person, he turned out to be an old bachelor, and later a well-wisher introduced him to a person and became a family.

Marriage pays attention to the right family, this is not a tradition, not only in China, the whole world is similar, not to mention the rich and poor, just to say that the disabled, there are a few people who can get a healthy and beautiful wife, if they can't get married, no one wants to find a disabled person with poor family conditions and is very sloppy, so the wife who gave birth to the third child is also a disabled person and is a mute.

Such a family is just to form a companion, find a companion for both of them, and raise the parents of the province for a lifetime, so it is difficult to expect them to be able to live a good life, although they have land, but they are not good at planting, so they live in poverty, have a lot of debts, and live poorly.

"The third child is here, sit down. "Yu's mother is a simple rural person, she never looks down on people, and she is very enthusiastic when she sees everyone, let alone her own house.

"Ah, sister-in-law, I, what am I, I won't sit anymore, it's just a New Year, I want to borrow some money from you, I can't afford it......" Sheng Laosan said embarrassedly.

Yu Yue was a little confused, this guy could see that his family was making money, why did he come here to borrow it?

Yu's mother went to the ground with a smile, then went to the cabinet for a while, and after a while, took out fifty yuan and walked to the third child with a smile, and then handed it out.

What are you doing?

What about sending it to Hanako? When people open their mouths, you borrow fifty?

That's not my mother's style!

was wondering, something even more confusing happened, the third child was very happy to receive fifty yuan, and even said that Lao Yu's sister-in-law was a good person......

"Go back, buy some delicious food for the child during the New Year, buy two good clothes to wear, the child is not young. Yu's mother said.

Buy some food and some clothes for the kids, Mom, are you dollars?

Hearing this, the third child smiled and nodded embarrassedly, looking teachable, well-behaved with inferiority.

Yu Yue understands this, after all, such an old person, of course, can understand what his mother means, forget if you don't have a good life, don't wronged the child.

The third child left with fifty yuan, and his mother gave it away, and Yu Yue in the house still listened to the third child's unstoppable thanks, which was even more messy.

Seeing that his mother was back, Yu Yue couldn't help but say, "Mom, that big man will give fifty when he opens his mouth?"

Yu's mother was stunned when she heard this: "How much do you want to give?"

Yu Yue was stunned, is my mother so unreasonable? Although there is a lot of famine in this life, it is not that it is not repaid, but this year's food money will be paid back early, and the next year will be repaid in order, a bit of a running account, although it has not been finished, and it may be owed more and more, but finally not blind anyone's money, of course, if he dies one day, then there must be some people blind, the problem is that he is still young and strong, and he can't die, Yu Yue remembered that this guy had a cerebral thrombosis later, and he also drank alcohol, but that was seven or eight years later, and it was not dangerous now, so there is no need to be afraid of borrowing money。

"Fifty is enough for anything, I can't buy anything, so I have to borrow two thousand. Yu Yue said.

Yu's mother smiled when she heard this, Yu Yue laughed inexplicably, and then said, "Do you think he really came to borrow money?"

"Didn't he say that he had no money for the New Year, so he borrowed some?" Yu Yue said in a daze, he didn't listen.

"That's a nice saying, which is really borrowing, it's coming. Yu's mother said.

"Do you want to?" Yu Yue was stunned for a moment, he wanted food!

"Well, it's not just our family, he will go to every family in Quantunzi, saying that he is borrowing, but in fact, he wants to give so twenty or thirty for one family, which is enough for the New Year. Yu's mother smiled and said: "It still depends on our family's tightness this year, I only gave twenty last year." ”

Yu Yue was even more confused: "Why didn't I know that I wanted it last year?"

"Do you go home every year and stay at home? either run here or there, what do you know?" Yu's mother said that she was quite happy in her heart, this year her son is good, he will not go anywhere, he will talk to himself at home.

"Ah, co-authors are habitual offenders. Yu Yue suddenly realized.

"Well, it started the year before last, and the firewood stack in his house caught fire the year before last, and the firewood (corn stalks, used for rural fires) was burned out, and then he asked for money to buy things to burn the fire. Yu Ma said.

Yu Yue is clear, this kind of thing is also common in the village, and it has to be said that the rural people are simple, the family is in trouble and supports from all directions, like the third child is normal, Yu Yue remembers that there is a more bizarre old lady, who lives alone, and has private money at home, but her son is not filial, and always tries every possible way to get money from her, so once the house was on fire, and the old lady ran out, and then his son asked if there was any money in the house.

The old lady said no.

When his son saw the fire, it was not small, and there was no money in it, let alone anything of value, so let's talk about it when the house burned down.

A small earthen house, there is no way to burn it, after all, in the countryside, it is not used to call a fire truck, because when the house is called, it will also burn out.

After the fire was extinguished, the old lady hurried into the house, and then saw that the cabinet was dumbfounded, and the shelves were burned, and all the clothes in it were on fire, and the 10,000 yuan hidden in the cabinet was gone.

Wow, the old lady sat on the ground and cried.

When his son asked, he was so angry that he didn't care about the old lady, got up and left.

So, the old lady's only 10,000 yuan of pension money was gone, the house was gone, and her son ignored her, so she collected money from door to door, and the family asked for 100.

Although the rural conditions are average, but no one is short of the hundred yuan, it doesn't matter if it doesn't come to you, you don't give it when you arrive, doesn't this force the old lady to death, as the old saying goes, it's hard to have a good conscience when you think about it, so everyone doesn't say a word to give, the old lady has no end in sight, otherwise maybe a fire will pass.

With everyone's help, 10,000 yuan was made up, and the neighbors helped to get the house out.

Yu Yue didn't expect that the third young and strong person in this life would also do such a thing, but it is understandable that the disabled on the bus are also equal to the elderly, which is understandable.

Yu's mother said again: "After that once, he tasted the sweetness, so he also collected money for the Chinese New Year last year, isn't this coming again this year, and I don't know when it will be a head." If I hadn't seen their little girl pitiful, I wouldn't have given it!"

Yu Yue sighed in his heart when he heard this, his mother's heart has been good for a lifetime, and she has been kind for a lifetime, but why is God so blind?

"Give!" Yu Yue said: "I will give it every year in the future, and it will be more and more every year!"

Yu's mother was stunned, this loser child, is he sick?
