Chapter 13 I want to learn from my aunt
In the countryside, there is no man in the family, and there is no son, which is a fatal blow to the average peasant family, and it is extremely looked down upon. Homesteads may be occupied, and the crops planted may be cut with two sickles when they are harvested, and if they are angry and want to quarrel with each other, they may also be scolded for being cut off from their homes and their children and grandchildren.
Fortunately, Song Lanhua has a pungent personality and can make money, so most people don't dare to mess with it.
I remember that in the first half of my life, I saw Song Lanhua quarrel with others, and some people scolded her for being a child and grandchild, and she could go up with a slap, spit, and gouge out her eyes, almost not picking out the other party's eyeballs. It's really steady.
Another time, the neighbor's woman stole her family's corn stalk and refused to admit it, she rushed into Cui's unmarried, hugged the thigh of the village party secretary and cried for three hours, and finally the village cadre was forced to have no choice, so the other party apologized and paid five yuan!
The rest of them fought, insulted, and even threw into people's yards, and did everything.
As long as he provokes Song Lanhua, he will not have a good life. No one in the village dared to provoke her blatantly.
Liu Zhen didn't look down on her personality in her previous life, and felt that women should still be demure and gentle, plus her stepmother Lin Shufen also said so, telling Liu Zhen that she must not be so spicy: "Don't look at so many people praising her in front of people, I don't know how to stumble her behind my back." You can't do this, lose the face of our Liu family. Let's be virtuous to have femininity. ”
Liu Zhen also felt that his stepmother's words were reasonable, and the result was that he was raised to be as simple and stupid as a lamb, and he knew the risks, and then he ate the first half of his life by his ill-intentioned stepmother and stepsister, and was eaten by his in-laws and cheap husbands for the second half of his life, and worked hard to make money to feed them like a cow and a horse all his life.
But in the end, all you get is a zero. She lost her son, and in the end, her brother died tragically with nothing. And those who keep saying that they care about her with their own family, do they care about themselves? I'm afraid that I will see her die so miserably, and I will laugh at her three times, do I deserve it? Because everything was done voluntarily by her, and no one forced her, did she?
In this life, Liu Zhen feels that he should still live the same life as his aunt, he can't swallow any grievances for the sake of face, and he can't agree to what he shouldn't pay!
With these things in mind, she went into the room.
The uncle's house is not very big, and as soon as I entered the door, I saw three girls running around in the house, only the eldest girl was wiping the table with a rag. In the bedroom inside, the uncle is sleeping on the kang, he can't move anyway, every day except for eating and sleeping, thinking about his life is miserable enough.
Seeing Liu Zhen, several girls were stunned, and then timidly called their sister together, and they didn't make trouble anymore.
These children don't have any names, they are the eldest girl, the second girl, the third girl and the fourth girl, all of them are black, thin and dry, not very good-looking, and malnourished. The clothes they wore were all tattered and all patched. Basically, the big ones can't be worn by the second child, the second child is left, and the third and fourth children wear them. Except for the eldest girl who has the opportunity to wear a new dress, basically the rest of the children live like this.
Liu Zhen didn't like their family at all before, so he rarely interacted with each other, and at first glance, several children were a little panicked and didn't dare to say hello.
Liu Zhen smiled, "Your father has a birthday today, I'll take a look." ”
"Oh, that's great! Thank you, sister, for coming. "The eldest girl is always a little older, and she took the initiative to come.
Liu Zhen touched her hair and smiled, "Let's go and start the fire on the stove, your mother will cook in a while, can you also help?"
Everyone hurriedly agreed, and these little girls were still a little afraid of this sister. I started sweeping the floor, wiping the table, and went to work on my own.
Liu Zhen went to the uncle's house, although there was nothing valuable in it, but it was very clean and tidy. This family is quite orderly, but the premise is that Song Lanhua can insist. Once something goes wrong with Song Lanhua, it will definitely collapse.
She wanted to take a look and leave, but the uncle woke up at this time and glanced at Liu Zhen.
Uncle said hello, "Coming here?"
"Alas, uncle, how are you doing?" Liu Zhen hurriedly said. He looks very similar to Liu Dagang, but because he can't come up for many years, the whole person is very bloated, like a steamed bun with soaked hair, but he doesn't have a good look, and he looks very uncomfortable.
His hair was almost gone, and his whole person had an air of depression.
He struggled to sit up: "That's it, you can live for two days to deal with it." ”
Liu Zhen was a little embarrassed: "My father and mother said that today is your birthday, let me come and see, are you okay uncle?"
"I'm just like that, I'll live another year, and I'll disappoint your aunt, hehe. ”
Liu Zhen hurriedly said, "What are you talking about? If you can be healthy, it would be the best." ”
"Oh, what's so bad. He rubbed his forehead and said, "My illness will not be cured, alas, not to mention this." I've heard that you're going to school in the city? It's great, it's not easy for our village to have people who go out to study, so you have to cherish it. ”
"Hmm. Liu Zhen nodded and said, "If the eldest girl studies well, there will be a day in the future." ”
Uncle smiled bitterly, "Yes, I'm afraid that I can't afford to support her, and she doesn't study as well as you, and she is only twenty in the class, and I really don't have the ability to make money, depending on what your aunt means." ”
Liu Zhen hurriedly comforted him, saying that the eldest girl must have done well in the exam, and the eldest aunt is just as good to the girl, and she will not let her go to school. "I mean it's a good thing for a child to want to go to school, but when you see my illness, you can only lie down, and you can't earn a penny, and if your aunt doesn't agree, I can't let her go to school." ”
Liu Zhen said: "I don't know what kind of disease you have, uncle?
"It's born, when you're young, you can still walk, but you can't do heavy work, but the more thoughts you have, the less strength the meat becomes. ”
From the time Liu Zhen had an impression, he remembered that the uncle couldn't get up from the kang anymore, and he was already married at that time. also gave birth to a child, but it was the grandparents who concealed Song Lanhua's son's illness and married her home. By the time Song Lanhua found out, it was too late. Song Lanhua is also an unfortunate person.
The uncle lost his spirit after saying a few words, so Liu Zhen said goodbye to the uncle and went outside.
As a result, I saw the big girl at a glance, so I hid at the door, looked inside cautiously, nervously kept clasping the door frame with my fingernails, obviously very nervous, this girl must also want to go to school.
