There was another thunderclap, and suddenly the rain was as heavy as a pour, and it smashed the shacks with a clang.

Old Man Lin took two puffs of cigarette, glanced at Su Luan, and said to Lin Qinghai next to him: "You are the eldest brother, this second child is gone, the baby should be raised by you, you know?" ”

Lin Qinghai frowned, and only responded in a voice like a mosquito for a long time: "I know." ”

Su Luan lowered her eyes and wiped her mother's face as if she hadn't heard anything.

Old Man Lin sighed and stopped humming.

At night, the rain stopped, and the sound of ticking water hit the stone steps one by one. The Lin family all went back to the house, only Su Luan was still kneeling in the shack and guarding, and the brazier in front of him was still burning with unburned yellow paper money.

Wang held pickles and black-flour steamed buns and put them in front of her: "Oh, eat!" ”

Seeing that Su Luan's hand didn't stop adding paper money, Wang sighed: "Don't know what to do!" Your father said, you will live with me in the future, I am not your mother, what should you do in my place! If your mother does the work, you have to keep doing it! ”

She still lowered her eyes and said nothing.

Wang's punch was like hitting cotton, hitting, not being able to get in, not receiving, not being able to take it back, and he was so frightened that he couldn't do it. snorted coldly, glanced at her hatefully, muttered a sentence of "bad luck", and twisted his ass out of the house.

Early the next morning, Lin Qingshan and Xu were carried up the mountain. Because it was an accidental death, the Lin family said that it was unlucky and could not enter the ancestral grave, so they were buried in Xiaohua Mountain, without even a tombstone, just two loess bags, close together.

After returning from the mountain, Su Luan felt as if he had lost his soul. Mrs. Lin and the Wang family spoke coldly, and they should not say a word. Every day, he only finished the work that Xu had done before, and he stayed in the room stunned, and he was stunned for a whole day.

The neighbor Aunt Sun came to persuade her several times, and finally shook her head and sighed to go back.

In the blink of an eye, it was the first seven, the night wind was blowing, and Su Luan was turning over and over on the kang.

In the middle of the night, she got up with her clothes on, and ran lightly to the locust tree at the back of the house. There is a jar of daughter red buried under this tree, which was specially buried with the Xu family on the begging festival in the year when Lin Qingshan picked her up, saying that it was to learn from the people in the town and give her a marriage.

She leaned against the tree, her eyes red, and before the tears could fall, she heard a voice, as if she were holding her breath for fear of being heard.

It's a big night of sneaking, and it's not going to be a good thing!

Su Luan pasted it, squatted in the shadows, and listened carefully to the root of the wall.

"Mother, listen to me, it's bad luck to keep that little hoof, you just say that the second child is a couple, maybe she died hard! When I picked her up, who knows why she was thrown on the side of the road, maybe her life was too hard! ”

It's Wang! Although the voice was low, the tone must have been her, and she didn't run!

"But this second child has just been in her first seven, so she will be sent out, this has to be known, your father's ......" Mrs. Lin had some scruples.

"Mother! That Li Yuanwai is a big family in the town, and the flower woman can say, as long as she marries that little hoof, she will give us twenty taels of silver! Mother, that's twenty taels! ”

"......"

"Mother! Even if our family raises her and marries a farmer, the dowry will be six taels of silver! Besides, she is not a child daughter-in-law, but Li Yuanwai is marrying that little young master! Seeing that Mrs. Lin was a little relieved, Wang continued to persuade her.

"That ......"

"Mother! What else are you thinking about? This matter, the flower woman can talk about it, just give us a day! After this village, there is no such shop! ”

"Done! Just as you say! Mrs. Lin gritted her teeth and responded.

Yo! This is going to exchange her for silver! Do you really use her as a fish on the chopping board?!

Listening to the footsteps of the two getting farther and farther away, Su Luan's eyes darkened, and his expression was terrifying.
