Chapter 29
The predicament of the Gu family is difficult to alleviate for a while, after her man's death, she and her husband's family are incompatible, and her mother's family has also broken off their relationship, and now they have no relatives in the county, even the Qin and Shen families who are closer to each other cannot rely on others for a lifetime.
Not long after, Aunt Qin also learned that Gu Sanniang's money was exhausted, and she couldn't even afford the money for medicine, so Aunt Qin wanted to help, but her family relied on her son Qin Lin to support her son Qin Lin in the yamen for a few months, and even the places that could help were really limited.
Within a few days, Xiao Yezi finished eating the few pairs of medicines that Gu Sanniang caught, this retrospective Sanniang was categorical and refused to let Xiao Yezi accept the benefits of the Shen family, Xiao Yezi was angry and anxious, but she was helpless, she wanted to earn money for her mother's medicine, first, her mother's needlework she hadn't learned yet, and secondly, she was a half-grown child, and no one would accept her, and in the end, Xiao Yezi hid from her mother, washing dishes and chores for people at the front street inn, and did not pay her every day, and the leftovers were taken home for her.
However, this matter was discovered by Gu Sanniang the next day, Gu Sanniang cried fiercely with Xiao Yezi behind her back, and then still pretended not to know, Xiao Yezi thought she was hiding it carefully, but she didn't know that her mother just didn't say it.
On the other hand, a certain place security came to Shen Zhuo to gossip, Shen Zhuo asked about the recruitment of people in the camp, just because he had no intention of mentioning that Zhao Cuihua likes to play right and wrong, causing discord in the neighborhood, the local security will Zhao Cuihua's recommendation to be pressed back for a few days, Zhao Cuihua heard that it is because of his mother's long tongue, which provokes the land protection to dislike, and immediately has a big fight with his mother, that Zhao Cuihua is afraid of missing her son's future, and respectfully went to the local protection family to make amends, and it is very safe for a few days, and the land security issued a letter of recommendation to her eldest son.
On this day, Shen Zhuo was leading the students to read in the house, and suddenly heard a quarrel from the West Chamber, he listened to it closely, the voice seemed to be Gu Sanniang and Xiao Yezi, at first Shen Zhuo only misheard, and then the quarrel became louder and louder, and even the students frequently looked out, he had to stop, look up and look out the window.
At this time, Xiao Yezi rushed out of the house barefoot, she cried so much that her face was full of tears, holding scissors in one hand, and throwing dozens of beaten strings everywhere with the other, so she was still angry, and she twisted the strings with scissors.
Brother Yu was sitting by the window, he saw Xiao Yezi crying, and before his father could speak, he had slipped off the stool and ran into the yard.
"Sister Xiaoyezi, why are you crying?" Brother Yu pulled the little leaf and asked with concern.
Xiao Yezi wiped a handful of tears, she didn't pay attention to Brother Yu'er, just twisted the yarns, and in a moment, these yarns were completely destroyed.
When Xiao Ye was twisting, Gu Sanniang came out of the room panting, she was seriously ill and had not recovered, and her lips were white from exhaustion after walking a few steps, and at this moment, when she saw the ground full of shredded yarns, her eyes were full of anger, and she scolded angrily: "Okay, very good, you don't listen to me, I don't want to care about you anymore, you clean up your things, I ask you Uncle Qin Lin to send you back to Niutoutun, let you fend for yourself, it has nothing to do with me." ”
Thinking about it, she was so angry, Gu Sanniang's chest fell together, and before she finished a few words, she leaned against the door frame and coughed loudly, that little leaf saw her mother's face full of iron, as if she really wanted to send her back, she panicked, but she refused to show weakness, so she held back her tears and said with a hard mouth: "Go back, my father is dead, mother, you also want to throw me down, I am a sister, even if I die, it is not a pity, without me by your side, there is just one less oil bottle." ”
This sentence undoubtedly poked a knife at Gu Sanniang's heart, her throat was sweet, and she sat down at the threshold, Xiao Yezi saw that her mother was so angry with her that her face was like earth, and she couldn't help but regret talking nonsense to her mother just now, she was about to help her mother up, but she couldn't pull her face for a while, so she had to stand straight and stand still.
The movement of the mother and daughter also attracted the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Qin family in the main house, and Aunt Qin saw this situation and asked urgently: "What's wrong early in the morning?" ”
Xiao Yezi and Gu Sanniang depend on each other, they are very close to her, and Gu Sanniang never belittles her because she is a sister, she never has a heavy word against Xiao Yezi on weekdays, and when she got up in the morning, Aunt Qin also saw Xiao Yezi giving her mother stewed vegetable porridge, and it was only for a while, why did their mother and daughter quarrel?
When Brother Yu saw Aunt Qin coming, he shouted, "Grandma Qin, hurry up and persuade Aunt Gu." ”
At this time, Shen Zhuo also came out of the house, he saw the Luo Zi on the ground, and he had already guessed a few points, thinking that Gu Sanniang was secretly beating Luo Zi with Xiao Yezi on his back, and it was estimated that Xiao Ye Zi knew, and this Xiao Ye Zi was angry, so he quarreled with her mother, and therefore twisted the Luo Zi.
Last time, Shen Zhuo showed Gu Sanniang's pulse and persuaded her not to tire herself, this time she was seriously injured, and she was secretly doing work before she recovered.
Zhu Xiaoyue hurriedly helped Gu Sanniang up, she saw that she was very angry, so she scolded Xiao Yezi: "Yezi, your mother is sick and crooked, why are you still angry with her, why don't you come over and compensate her." ”
Xiao Yezi's eyes were red and she stood still, she said to Gu Sanniang: "Since you are sick, why don't you want to recuperate?" Persuaded again and again, always do not listen to people's persuasion, you hit a few strings, not enough money to give you medicine, drag a sick body to work, when will it be better? ”
In front of everyone, Gu Sanniang was embarrassed and annoyed by her own daughter, and she was speechless for a while, she said angrily: "Needless to say, I also guessed your thoughts, as the old saying goes, there is no filial son in front of the bed for a long time, I have been sick for so many days, you are naturally impatient to serve me." ”
Xiao Yezi was so angry that she cried, she stomped her feet and said to Aunt Qin: "Grandma Qin, listen to my mother's words, when am I impatient, I will treat her as a bodhisattva, just ask her to take care of herself, don't carry me behind my back anymore!" ”
Aunt Qin saw that the child was crying with tears on her face, so she hugged her and coaxed her, and scolded Gu Sanniang again: "You are sick and confused, and you still have the face to be angry with a child, since you are sick, Xiao Yezi has taken care of you before and after, and there is no time to stop for half a moment, you see that the child's chin is thin and sharp, do you want her to serve you like this?" If you count the few children in our alley, which one is as considerate as her, you don't want to be content! ”
Gu Sanniang was counted and cried, there was no money at home, these dozens of connections were saved by her so rarely, if she could exchange some money and come back, she would be able to save the emergency, and she would save Xiao Yezi from washing dishes for others in the cold winter, who knew that she would be strangled by her, how could this make Gu Sanniang not feel distressed.
"Okay, why the hell?" Aunt Qin saw that the mother and daughter each lowered their heads and did not speak, so she asked out loud.
Xiao Yezi secretly glanced at her mother, and couldn't help but regret that she was too impulsive, her mother was sick, and her eyes were so bad, in order not to worry her, these lines were beaten behind her back, and there was no income at home, so her mother was counting on making a few bucks, and now she was dizzy and twisted the ropes, and her mother was angry in her heart, which was also human nature.
After listening to the cause and effect, Aunt Qin also shook her head and sighed, this is all poor, their orphans and widows have no one to rely on, but if someone helps, why is it so embarrassing.
"You're also a fool, your mother is stealing the rope again, you just have to hide the things, and you can twist this yarn in a good way, won't it make your mother angry!" After finishing talking about Gu Sanniang, Aunt Qin said Xiao Yezi again, Xiao Yezi was in tears, she looked at her mother, and wanted to compensate her, but this Gu Sanniang kept a cold face, and Xiao Yezi was a little hesitant.
Shen Zhuo watched for most of the time, their mother and daughter were actually considerate of each other, so they made a fuss, he leaned over and picked up the broken yarn, and then gave it to Xiao Yezi, and said softly: "The intentions of both of you are good, but you used the wrong way to say the wrong thing, go and make amends to your mother, tell her not to be angry anymore." ”
Xiao Yezi took the luozi, she hesitated for a moment, walked up to her mother, and said, "Mother, it's my fault, don't be angry with me anymore." ”
Looking at the thin little girl in front of her, Gu Sanniang couldn't help but feel sad, when she was driven out of Niutoutun, she vowed to support her daughter by herself, who knew that today she was so sick that she couldn't even walk, but dragged her to suffer with herself, thinking of this, Gu Sanniang's heart was like a knife, and she hated herself for being weak and incompetent.
Xiao Yezi saw her mother crying bitterly, and she also cried loudly, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Qin family next to her saw this scene and followed with red eyes.
Brother Yu'er, a little person, saw Gu Sanniang and Xiao Yezi crying, and he also opened his mouth to howl, making Shen Clumsy look crying and laughing, he rubbed the top of Brother Yu'er's hair, and said, "Okay, you don't have to join in the fun, go and persuade your Aunt Gu and tell her not to cry." ”
Gu Sanniang was already weak, she cried for most of the day, she had to feel chest tightness and shortness of breath, and even her face became pale.
Brother Yu rubbed his tears, looked at Xiao Yezi first, and said dryly: "Sister, don't cry." ”
Fortunately, Aunt Qin also knew that Gu Sanniang couldn't cry for a long time, she wiped the corners of her eyes and persuaded: "Don't cry anymore, the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge, and life will always get better." ”
"You're not well, go back and lie down."
Aunt Qin and Zhu Xiaoyue helped Gu Sanniang into the house together, and Shen Zhuo took Brother Yu to stand in the courtyard for a long time, then turned around and returned to the noisy school.
