Chapter 25: The Stepmother

Hua Lei brought back half a bag of grain.

Wan Shi stroked the swollen red marks on his face distressedly: "Your grandmother beat you?" ”

Hua Lei didn't care and said, "I'm used to it, what else can she do?" What's wrong with Daddy? ”

"Your dad is asleep. Call him when the medicine is ready. ”

After a day of tossing, everyone was tired and hungry, Wan Shi looked at the medicine stove while directing Hua Yu to cook.

There is a stove in the room where Hua Changnian and Wan Shi slept and used it when it was cold. Now that the weather is hot, I set up two simple stoves outside against the wall.

Hua Yun sat next to Hua Changnian who was sleeping, and only Hua Lei was in the house.

Hua Lei looked at Hua Yun who was motionless, frowning, his gaze becoming deeper and deeper.

"Big sister-" Hua Lei wanted to speak and stopped.

Hua Yun looked at him and raised an eyebrow.

Hua Lei looked out of the door, sat closer to Hua Yun, covered his mouth and hesitated: "That tree-"

Hua Yun raised her eyebrows again.

"I'm in a trance, these days, every time we leave, how many kicks do you have to kick?"

Hua Yun was a little surprised, this kid has a very small heart, although he doesn't avoid people, he is not conspicuous.

Yes, good observation, but not enough. Not only did he kick it, but he slashed it with his fist.

Hua Yun nodded.

Hua Lei was a little entangled, and he didn't believe what he thought: "When I went today, you told me that you put the net shop there, and you were under the tree... Big sister, actually you mean it, right? ”

Hua Yun is a little satisfied, this kid is good, it is worth cultivating.

He nodded again.

Hua Lei grinned ugly and took Hua Yun's hand. Hua Yun will not be uncomfortable, she regards Hua Lei as a junior.

"Don't worry, Big Brother won't say this to anyone."

Well?

"Although, in the end, our father was unlucky, and you don't have to be burdened."

What the?

"You--you have suffered before, but when your eldest brother grows up, he can stand up to the door, and he won't let people bully you. If you have any grievances in the future, tell the eldest brother, and the eldest brother will give you anger. ”

What is this kid thinking?

"Big sister," Hua Lei's voice was lower, and only Hua Yun could hear it: "If you are angry with them, you can't kill anyone." If someone finds out, you're going to go to jail. If you're angry, big brother will catch you a chicken to drink, don't be impulsive. In the future, the eldest brother has the ability to avenge us, and don't even think about escaping. ”

Well, it's a good idea to have revenge, but it's not the right way of thinking.

Hua Yun was a little sad, but she still looked up to him. But he's really nice to his sister. It's nothing to kill, catch a chicken and drink? Forget it, the chicken is ****.

Hua Yun hesitated slightly, and pulled out a needle from the inside of her clothes. It was Wan's embroidery needle, which she had sharpened for a few nights, and it was already very fine. But it is far from being as good as silver needles, and the toughness is insufficient.

"Big sister, what are you doing? This needle can't kill people. You are obedient, in two days, the eldest brother will get you a chicken to drink, you must not go to the front yard. ”

Hua Yun silently lifted a thin layer of cloth on Hua Changnian's back and quickly pierced it.

Hua Changnian snorted in his sleep.

Hua Lei was startled, was the needle punctured? However, how can it sound very comfortable to Dad?

Looking at Hua Yun again, his eyes were confused, Hua Yun pricked again, and Hua Changnian hummed comfortably.

Hua Lei rubbed his eyes, why did he see that his father's leg had just moved?

"Understood?"

"You, you, you, can you cure Dad?" Hua Lei was excited.

Hua Yun glanced outside, compared it in front of her lips, and prompted, "Dad's leg is fine." ”

Hua Lei's eyes widened, looking at the thin needle in Hua Yun's hand in disbelief.

Hua Yun pinned the needle to the inside of his clothes and looked at Hua Lei fixedly. If you can't guess anymore, you'll be too stupid.

"Ahh Flower Thunder jumped.

Wan ran in: "What's wrong?" What's wrong? What's wrong with your dad? ”

Hua Lei was dazzled: "It's nothing, I thought my father was awake." Mother, is the medicine good? ”

Wan Shi ran out again with a sigh: "It's almost fast, Lei Zi is optimistic about Yun'er." ”

Hua Lei leaned over and whispered, "You... Deliberately? That net... That tree... You're still kicking... Calculate that dad will stand in the way? ”

Hua Yun shook his head: "I calculated that the one in the front yard would push my father over." ”

Hua Lei opened his mouth wide and gave a thumbs up for a long time: "You are so powerful." ”

Hua Yun said in his heart, it's not that I'm amazing, it's that I've seen more human nature.

"Daddy's legs?"

Hua Yun shook his head: "Dad is really injured, just raise it for three or five months and then get up." ”

That is, the legs are fine?

But—

"How did you get this?" Hua Lei pointed to Hua Changnian's leg.

Hua Yun opened his eyes and said nonsense: "I figured it out myself." ”

Hua Lei didn't believe it.

Hua Yun said nonsense again: "I've been thinking about it for seven or eight years." ”

Hua Lei almost fell to the ground. People who are only teenagers have been thinking about it for seven or eight years? The eldest sister was thinking about things all the years when she was stupid?

"What else have you pondered?"

Hua Yun's eyes didn't blink: "It's a lot, I can't remember it now, I'll know when I meet it later." ”

Hua Lei: "... Well, don't think about it if you can't think about it, don't tire out your brain. ”

Hua Yun was in a trance, it was the same in the past, every time he came back from a mission, he would say angrily, don't go if you don't want to go.

Hua Yun said that she wanted to go, and she wanted to fight for the future of the two, and Fengxing would be angry and said, I don't want you to go, so don't go.

But before the next mission, he will always be busy preparing this and that, for fear that he will not feel well.

With a pain in her heart, Hua Yun shook her head, no matter where she is, no matter what she becomes, this heart will no longer accommodate others.

Hua Lei sighed, "Our dad can't move." I told the old lady that my mother would not go to the front yard again. I'm afraid she won't give up. ”

At this moment, Hua Lei's heart has upgraded, not only a sister who needs to be taken care of, but also a comrade-in-arms who can discuss things.

Hua Yun said: "Split up." ”

"Separation?" Hua Lei was stunned for a moment, and his eyes slowly lit up: "Big sister, this is your purpose, right?" ”

Hua Yun blinked.

"However, Dad really can't move, and the old lady will definitely be able to kick us out. But how long can dad pretend? You can't always lie on the kang, can you? ”

Hua Yunke was a well-prepared person, and said slowly: "I heard others say that the old lady treats the big house harshly, and she is not afraid of retribution. Tell me, what does this retribution mean? ”

This is when I went to the county seat, I heard the villagers muttering on the side of the road. Hua Yun originally wanted to do something, but now she seems to have a better reason.

Hua Lei hesitated for a while, stretched out his head to look outside the door, then looked at Hua Changnian who was asleep, and motioned for Hua Yun to follow him to the inner room.

"You really don't know about this," Hua Lei pulled her to sit on the back wall: "The main thing is that the old lady is taboo, and no one in the family dares to mention it." I'll explain it to you. ”

"The old lady is not our own grandmother, that is to say, she is not our father's mother, and our father is not the biological child of the Li family."

A lightning bolt swept through Hua Yun's heart, no wonder, Li had a different attitude towards Hua Changnian, and every time he talked about Hua Changnian's high fever when he was a child, if he was his mother, shouldn't he say something about him?

"But it's also related. Back then, my grandfather married our grandmother, my own grandmother, and she was the old lady's own sister. The old lady is our father's aunt. ”

Or sisters serving a husband?

"I heard Mrs. Cai say behind her back, our grandmother and the old lady are not like the same parents. It's good-looking, diligent and smart, and everyone likes it. My grandfather married my grandmother, and later gave birth to my father, and my grandmother had a serious illness. At that time, my father was less than a year old. Somehow, the old lady married her brother-in-law and became our father's stepmother. ”

Hua Lei scratched his head: "I also know this, what else is going on in it, I'm afraid only my grandfather and the old lady know." Our dad is too young to remember. The old people in the village knew that the old lady wanted to shut up, but she couldn't. Besides, looking at her appearance towards us, she looks like a stepmother and grandmother. ”

Hua Yun nodded: "Why is our father so filial to her?" ”

"It's always been like this. Every day, I talk about how to save my father with a high fever, how to raise our father, marry a daughter-in-law, and have children. Bah, we are all stupid. The second uncle got married before his father. ”

This is why Da Lang was born in the second room?

"I'm thinking about it myself, the old lady doesn't deal with our grandmother. Look at her black heart, which is taking care of her sister's children, who is more than a stepmother, and wants to torture our big house to death. ”

Hua Yun nodded straight, this kid is transparent. I didn't expect that the big house actually had nothing to do with the Li family, it was really good.

"Separation."
