Borrow money
Without the variety of modern nightlife, the people of ancient times had very little entertainment. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Yuan Shi had just finished mending Huzi's torn clothes in the house, and couldn't help yawning twice, reached out and rubbed the corners of his sour eyes, and Yuan put the needle and thread on the side. Then he locked the door of the room, and then turned off the lamp and turned on the kang.
As soon as the lights went out, the room suddenly fell into darkness, and Yuan took advantage of the moonlight to get into the bed, and fell asleep after a while.
The courtyard was quiet, and you could still hear the small chirping of insects. There was still a faint light flashing in a utility room in the West House, and through the yellowed window paper, two figures in the room could be faintly seen, one of them was holding the other's hand and begging, "Cong'er and her aunt, you can help, I can't do it, Cong'er didn't mean it, that person's face was just a small hole, and he actually wanted to blackmail us for 5 taels of silver as soon as he opened his mouth, that was 5 taels! His aunt didn't know the situation at home, just your eldest brother played every day, no matter how much money was not enough to spend, how could there be money to pay?" Speaking of this, the woman paused for a moment, wiped the saliva from the corner of her mouth with her hand, and then said, "If you don't lose money, you have to send Cong'er to the cell, where is the prison where people stay, Cong'er and her aunt, you have to think of a way, our Gu family is just such a lone seedling!
Cong'er and his aunt..."
The woman wore an old garment of no visible color, with dense patches, polished cuffs, straw-like hair, and a yellowish complexion, more as if caused by chronic malnutrition.
The yellow-faced woman said for a long time, but she didn't get a trace of response from Gu's, the woman was curious, and hurriedly looked up, and after seeing Gu's sneering gaze, she angrily threw away Gu's hand directly, and without the pleading face before, she scolded at the moment, "Okay, you have no conscience, this is a family that you don't recognize your mother's family if you marry, eat inside and out, is your heart black?" You can't bear to watch the Gu family's lone seedling have an accident, and my mother is also blind and at home all day long, you are so good, why is it so difficult to let you get some money now..."The woman was scolding, and she was a little carried away for a while, and when she saw Gu's heavy dripping face, she was suddenly frightened.
"Are you done scolding? Shouldn't I say a few words, do you say that I should call you sister-in-law, or should I call you Gu Zhang?" Gu gritted his teeth and looked at the woman in front of him, sneering with a sneer, "You are still embarrassed to come to my house, this is to forget about a few years ago, do you need me to help my sister-in-law recall memories" Gu said this, and smiled at Gu Zhang's terrified, "And! What does your old Gu family have to do with me, it wasn't this attitude when you sold me over, hey, this is an unsatisfactory life, so you came to me, it's rare that the busy sister-in-law still remembers me" Gu looked at the woman in front of him with a blank face with sarcastic eyes, and he wanted to cut her with a thousand knives, he almost killed her at the beginning, but now he can still come over with a shy face to ask for money? Hmph! When she Gu has been in vain for so many years? It's just a dream.
"Her aunt, you... You can't say that," Gu Zhang's strong confidence and said in an inadequate tone, "Your eldest brother and I were also for your own good, you see, isn't it good to marry? Eat and drink well, Brother Jun'er is still studying, and we also found it for you with our hearts..."The more Gu Zhangshi thought about it, the more right he became, and his confidence became more and more sufficient, "You see that you don't have to worry about eating and drinking now, isn't it also the credit of me and your eldest brother..."
"You shut up for me" Gu Shi directly interrupted the other party's words, his hands hung down on both sides of his side and were clenched tightly, and then looked at Gu Zhang's sneer, who was not wrong with me, and sneered, "Heh, for my good, then I really thank my sister-in-law for her kindness, marrying me so well" "I'll just say, her aunt doesn't understand, and she really doesn't need to thank you, it's all what your sister-in-law should do..."Gu Zhang's look of not thanking and being unconscious made Gu even more angry," Do you really think I'm thanking you, you don't look at how big your face is, it's my fate, I met a good person, you look at my second sister, and then look at my third sister, but thanks to you, the one who was ruined is called a miserable" Gu's eyes were full of sparks, and he looked at Gu Zhang's coldly, and shrank Gu Zhang's into a corner of the wall in fright.
Gu couldn't help but feel a trace of sadness in his heart, her second sister and third sister were sent to hell by the animal in front of them at the age of flowers, Gu Shi thought every day, why didn't God open his eyes, how could they still live well, and take the money from their sisters' sales so chic, but I didn't expect that retribution would come so quickly, her scumbag brother's only seedling, Gu Cong had an accident, it was really happy, Gu wanted to kowtow to the Buddha, okay? How could it be possible to pay back the money!
Gu Shi saw Gu Zhang's pale appearance, I don't know what I thought, I suddenly showed that creepy smile, walked up to Gu Zhang's face, bent down and said in Gu Zhang's ear, "What? remember, my good sister-in-law really has a good memory, I think the second sister and the third sister will thank the sister-in-law if they know, after all, I didn't expect the sister-in-law to remember them, this time has been so many years" Gu's tone was very light, like an ethereal voice that entered the woman's ears, and the woman screamed in fright. Ahhh
This look of being a thief made Gu Shi very happy, and he finally let out a bad breath.
"Hmph, do you think he's going to be better? The two of you don't have a good thing, it's really a natural pair, the younger sister will use the girl when she runs out, Da Nike is your own daughter, she actually married an old widower in his forties in the next village who can only drink and beat women for 7 taels of silver, you are really a good mother" Gu thought of her hard-working niece, what a good child, and she was also ruined alive.
"It's not my fault, it's all Boss Gu, and she's my daughter, I've raised her for so many years, so I shouldn't finally honor and honor us."
Gu Zhang's words were full of confidence, and he didn't think he had done anything wrong at all.
"Hmph, anyway, it's your daughter, I don't care how you want to spoil me, Gu Zhang's, this is a hundred Wen, I gave it to my mother, and the rest, I Gu didn't have it, even if I did, I wouldn't give it" Gu didn't want to say a word to the person in front of him at all, so he took out his wallet directly from his sleeve and threw it on Gu Zhang's body.
"Are you calling Huazi this way, and the difference between five taels of silver is so much" Gu Zhang's eyes lit up when he saw the purse, and he hurriedly opened it to take a look, and found that it was only 100 Wen and began to count the Gu family on the other side.
"Don't give it to me" Gu Shi just wanted to snatch it back, Gu Zhangshi reached out to hide, and hurriedly put the wallet in his arms, thinking that there was a little bit of it, but he couldn't take anything back, otherwise Gu Boss would have beaten her again, thinking of this, Gu Zhang didn't hesitate, and could see that there was no extra money in Gu's hands today.
With a bang, Gu closed the door and drove Gu Zhang out of Yang's house.
Gu Zhang's glanced back, and snorted coldly in his heart, no matter how powerful Gu is, it's useless, you can't hide from the first day of the first month, just wait for the dead old woman to come tomorrow, look at Gu's You are so powerful, don't give it back.
Gu Zhang sneered at the gate of the Yang family, and then ran down the path, Boss Gu was still waiting for her at home for money, it was too late to go back, and she had to be beaten.
Gu had a nightmare, as if she had gone back to the time when she had suffered so much. There are a total of five girls and a son in the Gu family, the father is ruthless, the mother is cowardly, the eldest brother married a daughter-in-law and intensified, in order to pay off the gambling debts, the second and third children were sold into the pickled land, and they did not live for two years before they were gone, because the fourth child was beautiful, he was sold by the eldest brother to a lame man in the same village with 8 taels of silver, the fifth child really couldn't stand it, and finally took advantage of the eldest brother's inattention to run away with a seller and never came back, when Gu knew it, he thought that it was good to run, otherwise sooner or later he would have to cheapen the livestock.
Oh, she really has nothing to recall the days before she got married, when Gu woke up, it was not yet dawn, looking at the dark night outside, Gu made a mistake in her heart, according to her sister-in-law's temperament, she swore not to give up, it is estimated that her mother should come over tomorrow to ask for money, tears can't stop flowing, what can she do, she can refuse Gu Zhang, but she Gu can't help but agree to her mother.
Chunqiu got up very early today, because she slept too much yesterday, so that Chunqiu is very energetic now, but since Chunqiu got up, she found that their house has an unusual atmosphere today, because it is quiet!
Even the spring flowers and small stones, who have always played the most, don't say a word, they do it in a proper manner when they eat breakfast, and leave in a proper manner after eating, so scared that the spring and autumn on the side are a little unable to come back to their senses, what happened to her second sister today?
Chunqiu was troubled by this question for a while. It wasn't until an old lady suddenly burst into the door of their Yang family that she got an explanation.
When everyone was resting in the courtyard, I saw an old lady with gray hair and dark blue clothes covered in patches suddenly ran into the gate of Yang's house, and directly hugged her aunt's leg in front of everyone and began to cry. didn't give others the slightest buffer time, and kept shouting "Fen'er Fen'er Fen'er is sorry for you", Fen'er? Chunqiu thought to herself, this is the nickname of the eldest uncle, at this time, Chunqiu was shrinking behind the pear tree on the side and watched intently, I don't know when Chunhua came from Westinghouse.
"What's so good-looking, I'm here to ask for money again" Chunhua's tone is not too good, and the meaning is a little vague, but Chunqiu is not a child, and after a little thought, he understands everything, and the old lady is here to ask for money? But can her aunt give it? Chunqiu doubted in her heart, you know, her aunt is not much better than her milk, isn't it good that the previous loach recipe is still grandma who gave the steamed bun business? But these are also Chunqiu's guesses.
"Why do you want money?" Chunqiu pointed to the old lady who was crying and wiping her nose and tears, turned her head to look at Chunhua, and was in a battle, and people who didn't know thought it was abuse.
"Hmph, pretend to be pitiful, it's okay, it's okay, it's okay for a while, anyway, I come here a few times a year, I'm used to it, alas" Chunhua had a fine expression, and sighed a little sadly after speaking.
"...... "I'm used to this!" Chunqiu was a little stunned, isn't it, this is not acting, just get used to it.
"Don't believe it, look, don't cry" Chunhua saw Chunqiu's face full of disbelief, she stretched out her finger and pointed to the opposite side, Chunqiu looked back along her fingers, don't say it, she really doesn't cry.
"Let's go, let's go back to the house, it's time to complain again, I'm tired of hearing it" Chunhua pulled Chunqiu to the house, and said as she walked, Chunhua, a 6-year-old child, was already immune to Mrs. Gu's routine.
Chunqiu was stunned and was pulled away by Chunhua and didn't say anything.
On the other side, a grievance meeting is also underway.
"Fen'er, it's my mother who is sorry for you" Old Lady Gu was pulled up from the ground by Gu and said while crying.
"Mother, if you have something to say, if it is for Cong'er, I can't do anything, don't blame me, my four children are waiting for me, and I can't afford to raise them" Gu said absolutely, and directly forgot to cry what Mrs. Gu said.
Yuan stood aside and held back a smile, coming here several times a year, it was also speechless.
"Fen'er, you can't help but help, Cong'er is the only seedling in our old Gu family" Old Lady Gu was dumbfounded, but she didn't forget the task, her face changed rapidly, and her eyes burst into tears.
"But am I still a member of our old Gu family? Mother, don't believe it, ask my mother-in-law, but you personally sold me to the old Yang family, it's all in black and white, mother, what do you want me to do?" Gu looked at Old Lady Gu with a sad expression, and her eyes were already dry and painful.
"But... You are still my daughter, girl, if you don't care about your mother, your mother will have no one" Mrs. Gu has nothing to say, it was true at the beginning, but Hua'er is still her daughter, and if she is a girl, she should take care of her.
"So don't give the money I gave to Boss Gu to gamble, mother, look at it, our five daughters are not enough for him to harm, and now they have all sold their own daughters, how can you pay back such a person, mother" Gu Shi hated iron and steel, why was her mother so cowardly and unassertive, and was he Gu Boss his own son? Several of them are also daughters who have been raised for more than ten years, and they were sold when they said they were sold, why was her mother so ruthless? Gu looked at Mrs. Gu with sad eyes, and felt sorry for her sisters who were long gone.
"Fen'er, my mother can't help it, if I don't agree, he won't give me a pension, my mother is just such a son, Hua'er, you should be a poor and poor mother, okay? Mother really doesn't have long to live" Old Lady Gu's tone trembled a little, and she looked up at Gu's clasped hands and prayed.
She is just an ordinary peasant woman, married to her husband, and her husband is dead to her son, she has no way.
"Mother, am I not your daughter?Mother, you are sober and sober, he Gu Boss is a beast, how can he raise you" Gu's tone was serious, looking at Mrs. Gu's somewhat gray hair, her heart was also hurt by the knife, did her mother think that she also had difficulties when she asked her.
"No, no, the boss won't treat me like this, he will support me, this is what he said, you can't lie to me" Old Lady Gu was full of disbelief, and kept shaking her head, that fragile appearance made the Yuan family on the side feel uncomfortable.
"Okay, what your son said is right, I'm all wrong, okay, mother, this is three taels of silver, I'm helping you this time, go back" Gu held back his tears and gave the silver that had been prepared in his hand to Mrs. Gu. Why didn't her mother want to think about it, if Boss Gu raised her, how could she not dare to show up for so many years, just hide in the town and not come back. Forget it, she Gu Shi won't talk about it.
"Fen'er, my mother knows that I am doing this to make you embarrassed, but I can't do it, I am just such a son, Hua'er, don't worry, I will never come again next time, and I will not ask you for money" Old lady Gu looked sure, and even raised her hand above her head and swore that she was afraid that Gu would not believe it.
"Let's go, mother, sister-in-law is still waiting for you at the door" Gu Shi reached out and pulled down her mother's skinny hand, her voice was a little heavy, pointing to Gu Zhang, who was wandering around at the gate of the Yang family not far away, she felt so tired now, her mother said this every time, she said it was the last time, but at the end of the day, she still came, heh, Gu Shi didn't want to recall, she just wanted to cry now, she was really tired.
"Fen'er, that mother is gone" Old lady Gu glanced back, and after saying to Gu, she left with her staggering steps, looking at the thin and thin back, Gu didn't hold back her tears, covered her face with her hands, squatted on the ground and began to cry bitterly.
Yuan's eyes on the side were also a little astringent, so he had to come over and comfort him softly, only Mrs. Gu could force out such a fragile appearance of the sister-in-law. "Sister-in-law, don't think about it, it's good to go over" "The second family, sometimes I envy you, look at my mother, why is it so useless, why do you have to follow my brother, is she stupid?" Gu Shi couldn't help crying, and his tone was a little reversed. But Yuan understood, reached out and patted Gu's shoulder, and said in a deep voice, "It's still different, after all, you are a daughter"
"Hahaha, yes, I'm just a dispensable daughter, woo woo woo..." Gu's tone was sarcastic, and after finishing speaking, he squatted on the ground and cried all the time......
Yuan didn't speak, just stretched out his hand and patted Gu's back, at this time, other people's words are useless, and it is still necessary to walk out by yourself to be considered the real past, but Yuan sighed in his heart, if she wants to make her sister-in-law's heart knot, unless Mrs. Gu is not there, otherwise, it will be difficult!
Chunqiu didn't know what was going on in the yard, she was playing with Chunhua in the house now, and what she was playing with was the sandbag that Chunqiu begged Yuan to make for her before, which can be regarded as Chunqiu's childhood memories.
Chunhua was not very happy because of Mrs. Gu's affairs before, so as soon as Chunqiu summed it up, she took out the newly made sandbag and handed it to her, and the two studied it for a while and decided to go out to find Huzi and play with them.
"Third sister, let's go out to play, there are a lot of people, they are all at the entrance of the village" Chunhua took the sandbag and said to Chunqiu on the side.
"Okay, let's go, my mother is outside, talk to my mother" After Chunqiu finished speaking, he ran out with Chunhua, leaving Yuan alone in the yard, Gu went back to the house to wash his face after crying, Yuan was fine, just sat in the yard and turned over her tea.
"Mother, I'm going out with my second sister."
Yuan smiled well, and told him uneasily, "Don't fall, run slowly" Speaking of this, he still told "Don't go into the water..."
Chunqiu grinned and responded, picked up the spring flowers on the side and ran away, and didn't care about what Yuan had to say later.
The breeze blew Chunqiu's hair slightly, revealing a bright smile on his face...
