Chapter 22 The Camphor Tree
Dai Shuanglin was stunned, and cold sweat broke out on the back of her forehead.
She held back the rapid trembling in her heart, implying that she must be Sun threatening Dai Shuanghong, and the two of them together played a double reed in front of her, she would not be fooled.
"You can't talk nonsense" Dai Xiangen said in surprise, although there is a war every three or five days, and the life of the people in Shengdou is extremely difficult, but as long as there is food to eat, they can live, and whoever does the thing that loses their heads is better to die than to live.
Dai Shuanglin nodded again and again, what Dad said is right, you can't talk nonsense, these years' medical skills are not comparable to later generations, broken legs are a very serious thing, and if you are not careful, you will become lame, so Gu Xiaomin's future will be ruined?
The clothes are cumbersome, and the summer can really heat people to death. Daijia Hutong runs north-south, and the camphor tree at the mouth of the alley is luxuriant, which is a good place to enjoy the coolness.
But everyone was concerned about the tax and grain, and did not mention the matter of the draft, but when Sun was disappointed, he was shocked to hear such news. Gu Xiaomin grew up under Sun's watch, and after Chen took the initiative to talk about the marriage of his children, Sun once regarded Gu Xiaomin as his second son-in-law, so after listening to it, Sun was at a loss and wanted to see the Gu family's jokes, but why was he so sad in his heart, what a good child, complaining that God didn't feel sorry for people.
Seeing that the little girl seemed to be fine, but in a blink of an eye, it became like being fished out of the water, Dai Xiangen didn't believe it at all, and Sun said fiercely, "Sister Hong didn't say nonsense, the county government has sent someone here." ”
Dai Shuanghong snorted and cried and said "yes", although Gu Xiaomin is Dai Shuanglin's follower, Sister Lin asked him to go east, he will never go west, and the two often get together to tease her, but Dai Shuanghong is still sad for Gu Xiaomin and sad for Dai Shuanglin.
After reading the Sun family, and then looking at Dai Shuanghong, Dai Shuanglin's idea of self-deception was completely disillusioned, if it was forced by the Sun family, Dai Shuanghong would not have cried so sadly, looking at her eyes were full of pity, Dai Shuanglin's trembling heart exploded, and her eyes became white, if Gu Xiaomin was slightly injured, her sister would not be sad to be like this.
"Sister Hong, hurry up and boil some hot water for Sister Lin...... Hurry up, ......" Sun usually said ruthlessly, which shows Dai Shuanglin's appearance at this time, but his heart is more anxious than anyone else.
"Hey" Dai Shuanghong said yes and ran away, and after a while, the chimney of Dai's south house began to smoke.
In the curling smoke, the Dai family circled around Dai Shuanglin, for fear that Dai Shuanglin would be in a hurry.
Gu family, Chen's slump in the yard, clapping his legs and crying, "My brother Min, what can you do...... Dead old man, why don't you know how to protect Brother Min......"
"Mother, this is all fate, God has already given it, don't cry, the second brother can't get better if you cry badly" As soon as someone from the yamen came to tell the Gu family about the matter, Xiao Chen's heart was full of joy, her father was capable, she just went back to her parents' house and mentioned it a little, and this thing was done?
Although he is a step late, the little uncle is already a showman, but a lame showman, it is wishful thinking to climb the Du family again.
Ouch, Xiao Chen's beauty, let her think about how to distribute the two courtyards, no, it should be three, the father-in-law said that if he wants to build three in, then he has to build three in, the second brother can't marry the Du family's daughter, and the three courtyards will be divided into their big house, the eldest son.
Xiao Chen didn't say that it was okay, Chen cried without complaint, Xiao Chen said that the second brother couldn't get better, it was like stabbing Chen in the heart with a knife, Chen didn't even think about raising his hand and slapped Xiao Chen, his index finger pointed at Xiao Chen, who fell to the ground with an "ah", and said hatefully: "Didn't you have a door?" If you open your mouth to say anything, I'm used to you on weekdays...... If your second brother is really good, it's fine, otherwise I won't be able to spare you, woo...... God, you can do it, let my people be safe, I will kowtow to you and burn incense to make offerings to ......."
Xiao Chen's eyes flashed sharply in the eyes of Xiao Chen, who was lying on the ground, and secretly said that her aunt was confused, why didn't she want to think about it, if Gu Xiaomin really couldn't get better, what could he do with that lame leg? The family will have to count on her and Da Lang in the future, and they dare to beat her, aren't they afraid of being abused by her when they are too old to move?
"Mother, Sister Xia, her mother can't speak, but she is right, don't cry, crying hurts, my son is distressed......" Gu Xiaosheng, the eldest man of the Gu family, saw that his daughter-in-law was slapped by his mother, and he didn't think that her mother had done anything wrong, so she strode past Xiao Chen, stepped forward to help his mother, and said in a good voice.
"My son, you are still distressed as a mother, you said your second brother will be fine, right?" Chen's throat was already crying hoarsely, and he had another attack on Xiao Chen, and now he looked weak when he leaned on Gu Xiaosheng's arms.
Gu Xiaosheng nodded, "It's going to be okay, didn't the person who came say that my father took the second brother back to Fucheng?" The doctors there are amazing. ”
"Yes, yes, ah, I'm afraid that your father won't bring enough silver" After listening to Gu Xiaosheng, Chen felt like he had eaten a reassuring pill, and pinned all his hopes on the doctor in Fucheng, but when he thought that the child's father only brought a dozen taels of silver when he left, his heart was pinched again.
"Why don't I go to Fucheng?" Gu Xiaosheng said without confidence, he really hadn't even been to the county seat a few times, and he didn't know if he would get lost when he went to Fucheng.
Xiao Chen's was honestly slapped by Chen's slap, and she was crawling on the ground and angry for her husband's indifference.
How much money do you have in the family?
Most of the Gu family's annual harvest is used for Gu Xiaomin to study, and the silver saved by thrift has also been made up for 100 acres of land...... Then her three-entry big house is gone!!
Thinking of this, Xiao Chen went crazy, and shouted, "I can't live this day, let me die...... Father, mother, forgive my daughter for being unfilial", after speaking, he covered his face and rushed out of the gate of the Gu family.
Chen's heart was weak when he remembered his energetic slap, and he hurriedly pushed Gu Xiaosheng to chase people, Gu Xiaosheng was also afraid that something would happen to Xiao Chen, so he left his mother and hurried away.
It wasn't until she heard Gu Xiaosheng call her that Xiao Chen began to cry and run up the North Street, and before she entered the North Street, she saw a bunch of people sitting under the camphor tree.
Woo woo, that's a big house with three entrances, not a copper plate.
"What's going on?" When Sun went out to pour water, he saw Xiao Chen and Gu Xiaosheng running north one after another, and he sighed in his heart, and pulled Gu Xiaosheng and asked.
"Aunt Gu, actually, I didn't understand this matter, so my mother said a word or two, and this temper is too ......" Gu Xiaosheng was embarrassed to tell Sun about his family, thinking that out of North Street was Pingtang, Puyang Town, and he was afraid that Xiao Chen would not be able to really jump into the pond, so he was a little anxious.
"Oh, then you go quickly, your mother's temper comes and goes quickly, let your daughter-in-law don't worry about it" Sun didn't say anything when he heard it, and let Gu Xiaosheng go, until he couldn't see the two of them, Sun turned around and prepared to go home, and when he saw Brother Xian coming from South Street, he couldn't help asking, "Where have you been for most of the day?" Your second sister is a little uncomfortable at home, so you can go to the grass alone in the afternoon. ”
"Got it! Mother, do you know why Sister-in-law Gu doesn't live? Brother Xian followed behind Sun and said mysteriously.
"What's wrong? I just watched her run north, and your eldest brother chased after her" Sun stopped to look at Brother Xian, and understood that Brother Xian must have been running to Gu's house to watch the excitement for most of the day, and he had the intention to blame, but he couldn't hold back his curiosity.
How could Brother Xian know what his mother was thinking, and said out of pretentiousness: "I deserve it, tell her that Second Brother Gu's leg is not better, Aunt Gu slapped her when she heard her nonsense, and she screamed that she had no face to live......"
