Siyu was annoyed.

Since Shen Canglang left, Chen's mother came to Siyu's room with an expressionless face.

She was most afraid of her mother like this, and she was a little overwhelmed.

A violent cough made Chen's mother gasp for a long time.

The mother's petite and thin body was tormented by this cough, squatting on the ground, gasping for breath.

That look reminded Siyu of the fish sold by Lin Ah in the street market.

Once the fish are out of the water, they are also in such pain, and the mouths of the fish are closed one by one, and they try to breathe.

However, this is futile and brings only deep despair.

Whenever her mother coughed violently like this, Siyu, who was standing on the side, was the most sad and helpless.

She stood by her mother's side, closest to her, but she could not help her, nor could she replace her.

Although deep down, how much she wanted to replace her mother, even if a quarter of an hour could make her feel better.

However, how helpless she was at that moment!

Listening to the violent cough, it was as tight as a burst, and she was so worried about her mother, who was not sure in which cough, her life came to an abrupt end.

At this time, she was very scared, but she couldn't do anything.

She was closest to her mother, she could see and touch it, but she couldn't do anything.

What a ridiculous thing it was, but she wanted to cry.

"Mother, you drink a little water, it will feel better to drink a little water."

Siyu held a bowl of water in both hands and brought it closer, but her mother waved her hand and pushed it away, and she was already coughing so much that she couldn't speak.

"Mother, you swallow some licorice, licorice, it will feel better, I just remember now, we still have a few pieces of licorice at home."

Although licorice can't stop coughing, it can dissolve phlegm and won't make your mother cough so uncomfortable.

Siyu patted his head, secretly thinking about how he forgot about these in a hurry!

She was about to go back to the medicine box to get some licorice, but her hand was grabbed by her mother and she didn't let go.

Mother's hands were cold, pale, and her nails were pierced into Siyu's palms, hurting, hurting.

Siyu endured it, but didn't dare to pull away.

waited until my mother's cough finally passed, and then slowly eased her breath.

"Mother, you drink a little hot water!"

Siyu brought the bowl of water to her mother's eyes, but Chen's mother was unmoved.

Chen's mother always had her back to Siyu, and the green silk had turned gray.

Siyu knew that her mother was angry and angry with herself.

He was angry that he had just reached out to Shen Ergongzi to ask for money.

Looking at the side of the mother's face, the cheeks covered with frost and sickly flushed were covered with a tear.

At that moment, Siyu felt very uncomfortable.

I only felt that my eyes were hot, and the tears of anger fell straight down, I was afraid that my mother would look back and see it, and my heart would be even more uncomfortable, so I was busy wiping it off with my sleeves.

It's April.

This year, it was very hot, and the cicadas were singing on the Tsubaki trees in the courtyard, and butterflies were perched on the window lattice.

On the long street outside, the hawkers' shouts came and went, which made the atmosphere in the house look dull.

There are only Siyu and Niang in the house.

The mother turned her back to her, but she held Siyu's hand tightly.

The mother always had a frosty face and did not say a word.

Siyu is most afraid of her mother like this.

Even if she beats her or scolds her, she is not afraid.

was afraid that her mother would not say a word like this, Siyu was inexplicably a little scared.

She wants to break the boredom, as long as her mother doesn't do this again, even if she beats herself.

But what to say?

Thinking about it, thinking about the rain, I had to talk about it left and right.

"Mother, Grandma Wang said that he asked his son to remove all the weeds in the two fields of our family, and also turned the ground over, so that he could plant some vegetables after the valley rain!"

But Chen's mother listened to it and was still unmoved.

Siyu had no choice but to pull up something else.

"Mother, Aunt Li said, she wants to come to our house to pick some toons tomorrow, and I have already agreed!"

However, Chen's mother listened to it and was still unmoved.

Siyu had a headache, racked her brains, and tried her best to find a cola to make her mother happy.

"By the way, mother, there is a family behind the street who marries the bride, and I don't know who it is, so lacking in virtue, I mixed the toad clothes water in the bride's tea......"

"Why do you ask for silver from the second son of Shen, who is in charge of the house!"

The mother's stern reprimand made Siyu speechless.

After a long time, she spoke, "I know, my mother usually taught us never to eat the food that came to us, when we were children, even begging, and we would never eat the food brought by others, and would rather eat what others threw away than eat what others sent!" ”

"That's because people throw it away, it's what people don't want, don't want it, let's pick it up and it's ours!"

Mother Chen whispered, and Siyu nodded again and again.

"It's not terrible for people to be poor, what I'm afraid of is that people don't even have backbone, it's unfortunate enough to be poor, but if you don't even have dignity, you're just an empty shell in this world!"

Siyu lowered her head at that moment, and it took a long time to recover, "Mother, I didn't really reach out to others!" I want to ......"

"Want to scare away Shen Ergongzi? Right? ”

Chen's mother turned around and stared at her daughter, her eyes filled with tears at that moment.

Siyu nodded in default.

However, this did not get the mother's forgiveness, but gently slapped herself, so sad that she couldn't help herself.

Siyu was afraid that her mother would be uncomfortable and coughed again, so she couldn't stop it, so she hurriedly persuaded her mother, "Mother, I won't be there in the future, don't be so atmospheric again." ”

was pushed away by Chen's mother, almost wailing, "Are you trying to anger me?" ”

"Mother, no, I didn't expect you to be so angry."

Siyu kept begging, I just hoped that my mother wouldn't be so uncomfortable.

"Siyu, this family has let my younger brother, the toss is over, this home is a bottomless pit, even if you add your whole person into it, you can't fill it, it's not easy, there is such a good home, you can go, I've become like this, brother, that's to blame, you can get better, just go, don't go back to this home."

How could Siyu agree to such a request, she kept shaking her head and said to her mother: "You can't do this, after I leave, I'm just afraid that the people of Leshantang will not let you go!"

Mother Chen pushed Siyu to the door and shouted to her: "You really don't need to take care of this family anymore, you can go quickly!"

Siyu didn't understand, where did the weak mother get so much energy, she kept struggling, "Mother, no, I won't leave!" ”

Suddenly, at this time, there was a knock on the door, "Siyu, are you there?" I'm Dean Fan! ”

At this time, the mother and daughter quickly wiped their faces with their sleeves, so that no one could see that they had cried.

"It's coming, it's coming, you wait a minute."

The mother and daughter hurriedly cleaned up and tidied up the inside of the house, so that it did not look so shabby and messy.

As soon as he opened the door, it was Dean Fan.

Next to him was Chen Siyu's younger brother, Chen Yunzhi, who had not dared to go home for many days, only to see his face ashamed, and he didn't dare to look at his sister at all.

Siyu was humiliated by Zuo Mingzhu this time, all thanks to him, if it wasn't for the fact that he owed so much silver, my sister wouldn't have worked so hard to earn money.

However, Dean Fan stood aside, and Chen's mother was not good, so she scolded her son too much, and hurriedly invited Dean Fan in.

"You are a distinguished guest, it is all because you shelter my family Siyu in the academy."

Mother Chen said such a sentence very sincerely, but Dean Fan just smiled and waved his hand again and again: "Where is it, you are too polite."

"No, it's you who made our family have something to eat, and something like this happened, but I don't know if it will affect you? If it will affect you, I am afraid that it is my great sin! ”

After Chen's mother said this, she was about to bow down, Fan Yuan hurriedly helped her up, and said: "You don't have to be so polite, this matter is not as serious as you think, that Zuo Mingzhu is just a famous daughter, the Zuo family disdains to get along with me, I am just a small scholar, it is not beneficial to get rid of me and them, but it will cause a dispute, which is not good for the reputation of the Zuo family, so I will not be affected."

When Mother Chen heard Dean Fan say this, she stood up in disbelief: "That's good, that's good, alas, I don't dare to see you these days, I'm really afraid of doing this shameless thing!"

"Don't talk about it, think about it, Brother Li and I hit the ground with his head, his family. How can I not take care of it? ”

Siyu suddenly heard Dean Fan say such a sentence, the Brother Li in his mouth could not be his father, why had he never heard his mother say it?

At this moment, she saw that Chen's mother was quietly giving Dean Fan an urgent look, and Fan Yuan immediately understood, consciously lost her words, and immediately changed the topic.

Thinking about the rain in front of outsiders, it's not good to ask his mother more.

I saw Dean Fan push his younger brother from behind him in front of Chen's mother, and said: "In the future, in the academy, I will discipline him well for you, you can rest assured of this, in the future, he will be the academy in addition to his home, and I will also send some classmates to follow him all the way, if it doesn't work, let him live in the academy."

Mother Chen glanced at her son with a cold face, and hurriedly greeted Dean Fan and said, "If you are not in a hurry to rush back to Changshan, it is better to eat here first, I am afraid that you will dislike us as a small family, and there is nothing to eat."

Dean Fan, hearing this, hurriedly waved his hand and excused himself: "I came this time to find Siyu for something important!"

Dean Fan's words came out, which made Chen's mother and Siyu stunned at once, and Chen Yunzhi on the side hurriedly added: "Mother, sister, Dean Fan, find us a way to make money." I can return the arrears of 10,000 taels of silver immediately, but there are some troubles, but I think the old lady will be able to do it. ”

Mother Chen and Siyu listened to their younger brother's words and looked at Dean Fan with a confused expression.

They really don't understand that there will be any way in this world, where they can quickly earn 10,000 taels of silver and return them to the people of Leshantang immediately.

And Dean Fan just smiled mysteriously, turned his head and said to Chen Siyu: "Siyu's matter should be a little difficult for you, but I believe that if you put your heart into it, it shouldn't be difficult to do, and when the time comes, let alone 10,000 taels of silver, even 100,000 taels of silver."
