Chapter 1: Chase the Broom Stars
In the middle of summer, the rain poured down, and the dark clouds in the sky were very low, and the darkness made the whole small fishing village hide in their houses.
In a courtyard next to the entrance of the village, there was a commotion as the thunder was silent......
Lin Tong was dressed in a vermilion gray cloth coat, wearing a pair of rag shoes soaked by the rain on his feet, and said softly with a begging look on his face: "Sister-in-law, it's still raining heavily outside, and the children are still young, so they can't afford to toss, can't we wait for the rain to stop before moving out?" ”
Qian Fangrong, who was opposite Lin Tong, pushed Lin Tong and her daughters with her hand, and said arrogantly: "The rain stops? I'm afraid you'll stay here when the rain stops, right?
You broom star, if it weren't for you, how would our family be in this field now? If you don't look in the mirror and take a good look, your husband has died in the mountains by you.
If you don't get out of our house again, don't blame me for being polite. With that, he shut Lin Tong and her two children out of the door.
The little girl who had been dodging beside Lin Tong suddenly raised her head and looked at Lin Tong and asked, "Mother, is it true that Dad can't come back?" ”
Lin Tong, who was just about to raise his hand to knock on the door, heard his little daughter asking, and quickly squatted down to wipe the rain on his daughter's face with his hands, and took the opportunity to hold both daughters in his arms. Tears welled up in the corners of her eyes, but she was confident that her husband would not leave the mother and daughter behind.
The two girls who were wrapped in Lin Tong's arms were a little trembling, and the raindrops the size of beans were ruthlessly dripping on the bodies of their mother and daughter.
"Sister Xi'er, Dad, he was just stopped from going down the mountain by the heavy rain, and when the rain stops, he will definitely come back.
Mother, when Dad comes back, let's get out of here! If they don't welcome us so much, why should they stay here and suffer? The person who spoke was Lin Tong's eldest daughter Yun Jin.
Lin Tong couldn't help but be stunned when she heard Yun Jin's voice in her arms, her eldest daughter was really different from before. Since that rescue in the river, he has become less weak, as if he has changed a different person.
If it had been placed in the past, Yun Jin would definitely not have been able to say what he said today.
But in any case, Lin Tong is their mother, she can't let her children follow her around, if she doesn't have children, she may have let her husband take her away early.
Touching Yun Jin's face, Lin Tong said softly: "Child, it's not that my mother wants you to stay here and be angry, but what should you do if you leave the Yun family?"
Relying on the little things that your father went up to the mountains to hunt, although I can barely fill my stomach, but without a house, where do we live?
The days outside may be more bitter than now, so my mother will take you to stay here! ”
Yun Jin lowered her head and said silently, she had just adapted to the life of this era, and she didn't have the strength to make her father and sister live a good life overnight, so she didn't dare to bet now.
After all, after leaving, there was indeed not even a place to live.
After a while, Yun Jin whispered: "Mother, let's go find the village chief!" At least let my aunt give us a month, and after a month, we'll leave here.
Didn't grandpa say that if you can't get by, you will split up? How can it be said that my mother has been in the Yun family for so many years, and she can't take anything away after she works hard and complains, right?
Even if the village chief didn't dare to shake Grandpa's position in the village, he could always help us speak fairly. ”
Lin Tong looked at Yun Jin and Yun Xi with some hesitation, although this is a good way, he will definitely be scolded by his family.
Looking at Lin Tong's hesitant appearance, Yun Jin's silent eyes continued: "Mother, if we stay here for the rest of our lives, then my sister and I may not be able to go to school for the rest of our lives.
I don't care, I'm twelve years old, but my sister is only seven years old, is my mother willing to see her work hard at home all her life just to support the three sisters in my aunt's family?
Moreover, my mother is now five months pregnant, and she will give birth in a few months, and my sister and I were both born in the field, do you still want to go on like this? ”
Perhaps these words shook the firm belief in Lin Tong's heart, yes! How could she be willing to let her children suffer like this for the rest of her life?
So Lin Tong nodded firmly and said, "You're right, let's go to the village chief's house, for you, for the sake of the child in the belly, my mother can't continue to stay here." ”
Seeing Lin Tong agree, Yun Jin's heart felt a little better, she believed that when her strength slowly grew, she would definitely be able to give her father and sister the best life.
Lin Tong took the hands of the two children, looked down at the already bulging belly, the sadness on his face was still there, but there seemed to be a hint of color in his eyes.
The heavy rain couldn't stop the footsteps of the mother and daughter, and when they walked to the door of the village chief's house, Lin Tong pulled Yun Jin and Yun Xi to kneel on the ground.
When a few children who were playing in the hall saw this, they were so frightened that they ran into the house to find an adult to check on them.
After a while, the village chief walked quickly to the door with an oil-paper umbrella, blocked the rain above their heads for the mother and daughter, and said hurriedly: "Second daughter-in-law Yun, hurry up and follow me into the house, such a heavy rain, and then drenched my body." Why did you come to me with two children on a rainy day?
Is there something going on that can't be solved? As he spoke, the village chief quickly pulled the mother and daughter who were kneeling on the ground into the hall, and instructed the children to fetch towels.
Lin Tong didn't know how to talk about it for a while, she was farming, fishing, and doing housework on weekdays, and she hadn't been involved in talking to outsiders.
Yun Jin, who took the towel, hurriedly wiped the rain for Yun Xi on the side, wanting to hear how Lin Tong described this matter to the village chief.
But for a long time, Yun Jin didn't hear a word, so he couldn't help frowning, and wiped his cheeks with a towel.
Lin Tong, who was sitting on the chair, clasped her hands tightly, and just took Yun Jin to the village chief's house as soon as she was excited, but now she didn't know where to start, which really made her heart anxious.
Seeing Lin Tong's anxious appearance on the side, the village chief hurriedly said: "Second daughter-in-law Yun, don't worry, just say anything about it, no matter how I say it, I am also a village chief, and I also have a place in this village, and I can still help solve most of the problems." ”
As the village head, Lin Tong has been married to the Yun family for so many years, she naturally knows what kind of woman she is, otherwise she would not be so anxious to ask.
Lin Tong's silence made Yun Jin feel a little distressed, is this the mother who has worked hard to take care of them for so many years? How much bitterness has never been uttered.
Putting down the towel in his hand, Yun Jin said in a low voice: "Grandpa the village chief, here's how it ......"
