The court has a will, and the villagers finally let go of their hearts after more than two months, and those who have money at home are happy, and those who have no money at home can only accept their fate. At least there is no need to think about whether you will be enslaved or sent to prison.

Situ Yan spent a day making some pills, but this time the pills did not have the medicine to nourish the body (the medicine to nourish the body needs ginseng, Situ Yan only has two fifty-year-old ginseng in her hand, these two ginsengs are used to save lives, and she will not take them out easily), but she has prepared some antidiarrheal and traumatic medicines. Before dinner, Situ Yan put the basket on her back, put the medicine in it, and sent it to Aunt Niu, Aunt Si'er and Liangzi's family.

The courtyard door of Aunt Ah Niu's house was not closed, Situ Yan habitually walked in, and just about to knock on the door, she heard Uncle Ah Niu talking to someone, "Don't take this money, it's not a good thing to have a few months, it's better to stay at home and wait for the mountain baby to marry a daughter-in-law later." ”

"Dad, I don't want a daughter-in-law, this money has been paid, and I will bear the rest with you, and I will only work alone for more than two months."

"No, you know what a baby does, that forced labor is that easy to do, why didn't the patriarch's grandson and Li Zhaocai last time, you forgot. Dad has a tough body, you just do your own thing, and don't worry about Lao Tzu. ”

"Dad, I don't want you to endure hardship, I'm harder than Li Zhaocai, he hasn't done anything, I see the sky and follow you to the ground, I'm not afraid of being tired."

Situ Yan probably knew why Uncle Niu's family was worried, I was afraid that at this time, only Situ Yan's family was not worried in the village. coughed, and then knocked on the door, "Uncle Niu, Aunt Niu'er are at home?" It's my little five. ”

"Come in, you kid, just come into the house and knock on the door." Aunt Niu knew that Situ Yan could come at this time, she must have come to deliver something, whether it was medicine or something else, she was grateful in her heart.

"Look at what my aunt said, if you enter without knocking on the door, you won't enter your own house."

"Auntie's house is your home, take off your shoes and sit in the kang."

"Auntie, don't be busy, I'll leave after a few words." Situ Yan took off the basket behind her and took out a paper bag from it.

"Uncle Niu, I don't have any medicine in my hand before, I only have some antidiarrheal and traumatic medicines, and there are not many things, don't dislike it. Fortunately, the place where I served this time is not far away, and every once in a while, I will take my aunt to see you and Brother Shanwazi, and then bring you some food. ”

"Girl, what you gave is all good things, thank you, uncle! Shan Wazi came to give Xiao Wuxing a salute. ”

Situ Yan hurriedly grabbed the mountain baby and didn't let him salute, "Uncle, what are you doing, this family is still so polite, but it's not a part!" ”

"Why is my aunt crying again, every time I come, my aunt wipes her tears, and I don't dare to come."

"Okay, my aunt doesn't cry, my aunt is happy, the girl won't say anything, my aunt will remember your good for the rest of my life."

"Look at what my aunt said, I didn't do anything, don't keep worrying about me, or my ears will be hot again."

Several people were amused by Situ Yan's strange appearance of caressing his ears, and the atmosphere improved.

"Auntie, don't blame me, I just heard it at the door, is it not enough to pay the money at home?"

"Girl, what's this, you know the situation in my aunt's family, there's nothing to hide, last year's New Year to today, I have made some money with you, plus your uncle earned money in the county, plus the rest of the family before I got married, there was also a set of silver noodles, which was only 8 taels of silver. There are still 2 taels left, and the two of them have to serve three months of hard labor alone, and they have to fight to serve the remaining two months, which will take five months if they do it, even if they are good people, they are tired. I feel uncomfortable, but this time it's 2 taels of silver, where can I get it? When Aunt Niu thought that her son was going to endure hardship, she couldn't stop crying.

"Auntie, don't be sad, I still have two spare money in my hand, I can lend it to you first, and then I will pay it back slowly when you have it later."

"Xiao Wu, your eldest man also has to serve, although you have a lot of money in your land, but if you don't want to serve, you have to pay 15 taels of silver, which is not a decimal."

"Auntie, I'm ready for my eldest brother, don't worry about me. That's 2 bucks for you to count. Situ Yan took out two strings of copper coins from the back basket. She went out today with five strings of money, originally to help these families.

"Girl, how can you ask your aunt to thank you?"

"If my aunt wants to thank me, wait until a few days when I'm ready to make a living, and then help me."

"Hey, hey." Aunt Niu couldn't cry, she could only nod, and the mountain baby was also wiping her tears on the side.

"Girl, Uncle must pay you back, if Uncle can't pay it back, let the mountain baby pay it back."

"What is Uncle saying, I don't like to hear it, I'm not in a hurry to use this money, don't be tired of Uncle and Auntie, just pay it back slowly. It's just that I didn't tell my brothers about this money, and my uncle and aunt didn't mention it to others. I still have something to do at home, so I'll go back first. Situ Yan didn't want to stay and thank this family for a long time.

Out of Li Aniu's house, Situ Yan went to Liangzi's house first, the fourth uncle's house is not that Situ Yan doesn't want to go, but even if he helps, he can't do it, for the sake of the fourth grandfather, the fourth aunt used all the money earned this year to catch medicine, not to mention the endowment, even if they can't pay it. This gap is too big, if Situ Yan helps, plus Li Dalang's, this discerning person will know how much money their family has, so she can only do her best and do what she can.

After entering Liangzi's house, after this inquiry, Liangzi's family only made up a total of two taels of silver, and they still helped Situ Yan to work, and went out with Liangzi to carry the work and save it. Since the money can't help, the pills still have to be delivered. Liangzi's daughter-in-law has not yet been out of confinement, and she caught up with Liangzi to serve in forced labor, and she had to add eight months of forced labor, and she ran out of milk all of a sudden, Situ Yan took another pound of japonica rice, and the family thanked her repeatedly.

After leaving Liangzi's house and going to the fourth aunt's house, the fourth aunt came to open the door for Situ Yan with red eyes. When I entered the house, I saw that the fourth uncle was sitting on the kang smoking dry cigarettes, the dog was squatting in the corner of the house, and the family was lifeless.

This good person can't live, let alone raise a sick person at home. The difficulties of the Li family, Situ Yan can guess without looking.

"What's wrong with the fourth aunt, I'm here to deliver pills to the fourth uncle, if there's anything that doesn't go well, you can talk to me and scold, there is no hurdle that you can't get over."

"Girl." The fourth aunt screamed, couldn't hold back any longer, hugged Situ Yan and cried.

"Fourth aunt, don't cry, you are crying, I am not happy in my heart, what is so embarrassing, let's think about it together."

"Girl, you also know the situation at home, there is nothing to say," the fourth uncle had red eyes and held back his tears. The dog squatted on the side, only knowing how to cry, looking at such a family, Situ Yan was also a little soft-hearted, but once she relented, future troubles would follow, she took two breaths and swallowed back the words that came out of her mouth.

The fourth aunt cried for a while, and then she closed her voice, "Girl, I made some money with you some time ago, and I gave the dog and his father medicine, and the family didn't save a penny, this money can't be paid, your fourth uncle suddenly has ten more months of hard labor, how can you resist this cold day!" ”

"Auntie, I just came from Brother Liangzi's house, Brother Liangzi's situation is similar to your family, I mean, this service is in Xinchang County, not far away, this is every three or five times, I will let the eldest brother drive the mule cart to pull you to see your uncle and brothers, although the work is tired, but it will not lose your body." I can't help with anything else, but I can still help my aunts. No matter how much I want to help my aunts make some money, I can always live this life. ”

"Girl, how can you thank you for your kindness. Uncle won't say anything, if there is anything in your family in the future, let your aunt and dog do it for you. ”

"Uncle, what are these words, since I came to this village, my aunt has helped me a lot, uncle and brother dog are helping me build a house, and helping me cut the land, you can rest assured that I have come up with ideas. The aunt is slowly preparing, in addition to this pill, I still have twenty catties of black noodles here, the aunt makes more cakes for the uncle to bring, don't lose your body, let's think about it after getting through this while. ”

"Girl, my aunt won't be polite to you, if I don't have these things from you, I won't have any dry food for your fourth uncle."

The two chatted a few more words, and Situ Yan came out of Li Si's house. took a few breaths, and then smoothed out the blocked breath in my heart. She really wants to help them, but she can't, this is not modern, you can help the weak and the poor can be hyped up, and no one will be worried, this is ancient, you help one family, if you don't help the other, someone will come to the door, rather than this, more things are better than less things, she would rather have a blockage in her heart than add blockage to her family. That's why she told Uncle Niu's family not to tell others about it. Even Li Dalang hid it from him.

When I got home, it was already dark, and Li Dalang knew early in the morning that my little sister would go to deliver medicine to people who knew each other, so I didn't eat the meal on the table at this time, and sat and waited for Situ Yan to come back.

Li Dalang saw that his little sister was a little depressed, thinking that he was angry at someone's house, so he helped Situ Yan to get on the kang, so he asked, "Big brother, I'm fine, it's just that I feel sad when I see that the people in the village are going to serve again." Last time I walked for a month, two people died, this time I left, at least three months, at most I am afraid that it will take a year, and there are all women and children left in the family, how can I live this day? ”

"This is also a helpless thing, four years ago it was like this, when the spring ploughing and autumn harvest, they would be allowed to come back, but they had to go to work as coolies after they were busy at home, and that year there were more than ten families in our village at once, and those who worked outside were tired to death, and those who stayed at home could not eat and drink starved to death."

"Xiao Wu, if it weren't for you, I would have to do coolies like the mountain babies at this time, I, thank you!"

"Brother, what are you doing, we are a family, this family doesn't help each other, so what do you want this family to do. I'm hungry, let's not talk about it, let's eat! Situ Yan didn't want to bring her emotions to the four brothers, let alone listen to them say words of thanks, so she yelled hungry and started the meal, and took a bowl and drank a big mouthful of soup first.

Li Dalang knew that his little sister didn't want him to think too much, for fear that he would feel uncomfortable, his heart was warm, and he was more determined to study hard, make more money, and work more to repay his little sister.
