Chapter 07: Tang Wei's tragic experience
The Tang family has four brothers, Tang Jianmin is the eldest, full of benevolence and righteousness, but his heart is wolf-hearted, and it seems to be fair to them in the third room, but in fact, his heart is boundless. Dafang's two daughters and a son, the eldest daughter Tang Ying has been married, and the second daughter Tang Ruyi has the same bad water as her mother, a straw bag, which is a nest, and she bullied Tang Wanwan's brothers and sisters on weekdays. The third daughter, Tang Ruyue, has a good personality and has a good relationship with Tang Wanwan, but she was scolded by her mother and bullied by her sister.
Tang Jianyong, the second room of the Tang family, and his wife Xiao Wang, the husband and wife have no brains to do things, and they are afraid of the heavy. Seeing that others are making money, it is their turn to do what to lose. They work and refuse to exert themselves, so their fields are almost all deserted. When the autumn harvest season came, they saw boxes of sweet potatoes, wheat and corn carried to their homes, and their fields only had thatch that grew taller than people.
Fortunately, Xiao Wang's family has a good mother's family as a backer, and Mrs. Zhang is also a snob, and she is much more partial to the lazy and surprisingly second daughter-in-law. Their family gave birth to a girl named Tang Dani, who looked like a big scale, black and fat, lazy and lazy, better than their parents.
The third room of the Tang family is Tang Wanwan's father, Tang Jianfei, the husband and wife have four children, the family has the largest population and the most work. According to Mrs. Zhang, their family has a large population and eats a lot, so it is natural that they have to do more work, and all the money they earn must be handed over. In this way, there was not much in the hands of the originally, and then the old lady deducted it in life, and the quality of life of their three rooms can be imagined.
Tang Jianshu, the fourth son of the Tang family, is also the most beloved one of Mrs. Zhang, who is now eighteen years old and has not yet married, and works as a gatekeeper in the county government. Mrs. Zhang felt that her son seemed to be a big official, and she became more and more arrogant. Even the elders in the clan didn't let it go. The people of Murakami who also provoked pointed fingers at them.
In fact, the old man Tang Jinfa is not a relative faction of the Tang family, and belongs to the side lineage that is relatively close. It stands to reason that it would be good for their family to live in Tangjia Village, but they don't want to swallow elephants if they don't want to be unpopular. Mrs. Zhang thought that her son was very good, and he acted indifferently. If you have nothing to do, you can take Mrs. Chen and talk about Tang Wanwan. It's just that even the patriarch didn't speak, and Mrs. Zhang's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law didn't know what to do, so they couldn't help them, but they made a fuss, and no one was willing to come forward for them.
The only one who dared to come forward for them was Lu Yujin, a sixteen-year-old boy.
Today, Wang's family, Mrs. Zhang made a big fuss, Tang Wanwan was injured again, Chen Niangzi herself was also injured, and it was very difficult to cook dinner, but there was nothing delicious to make. Farmers usually only eat two meals a day, and if they burn too much at noon, they will eat these leftovers for dinner. In the past, if you had food at home, you didn't want to eat at the old lady's side, but when it was time to eat, there would be no more people. On weekdays, they can't catch anything good, there are only a few shriveled potatoes at home, half a bag of sweet potatoes thicker than a finger, and some are either half as big as half, or full of insect eyes. The only thing I could eat was half a basket of wild vegetables and half a bag of brown rice noodles.
Seeing these crooked and twisted food without a good face, Tang Wanwan's eyes couldn't help but sour, this family is really miserable. Xiaoyi and Xiaorou are growing their bodies, and they have to eat some fine rice or meat to grow their bodies, and their brother needs to eat meat to supplement their nutrition.
Tang Wanwan knew why her brother's leg had not been better. One is poor food, and the other is quack mistreatment. If Tang Wanwan's memory was not wrong, Tang Wei's legs would be lame at most, and his bones would have grown crooked. But now he is almost semi-paralyzed. If you lie down for another year or two, maybe the whole person will be wasted.
Sitting in the hall, you can vaguely smell the rotting muscles of the West Room, and you must know that the smell of human flesh is indefatigable, and it is the most smelly thing in the world.
"Wanwan, is it still painful in your body, I see that you don't have much appetite, eat more." Mrs. Chen is also out of the way, if it is according to weekdays, the food on the table today will be reduced by at least half. One or two small potatoes in front of each person, plus a bowl of clear soup water. Occasionally, there will be some wild vegetables on the dinner table, and it is difficult to swallow wild vegetables that do not have half of the oil star, let alone anything delicious.
As for meat, not to mention.
People like them can't eat a little meat for a year, and it's rare for an old lady to have a guest or a festival, and there will be a little bit of shredded meat foam, and it won't be their turn.
Mrs. Chen, she lives too humblely.
The scenes in my mind are like an old movie slowing down the beat, replaying the life of this family, which can only be described by a tragic word.
The so-called poor people must have something to hate, too cowardly, and do not know how to resist, so they will be like this. But she wanted to resist, but unfortunately her strength was too weak, so she was so cheap in the end.
"Mother, I'm not very hungry, you can eat more. I'm going to give my brother medicine today. In fact, saying these words, Tang Wanwan's face was a little red, and he had just swallowed a big meat bun alone.
"Don't be a girl, let's come on."
"Mother, eat it, I'm much better." In order to prove that she was fine, Tang Wanwan left the dining table very neatly, took the medicine bowl, and walked towards her brother's room. After getting up, I realized how much pain I had in my body, but I said that I went ahead, and I had to endure the pain no matter how much it hurt!
"Hey, you kid." Mrs. Chen looked at her daughter's thin background, and her foot was still a little lame when she walked, and this injury was beaten today. Her eyes moistened again.
"Brother, how are you feeling today?"
"Juan? It's hurt, my brother is useless, he can't protect you. Although he was a little prepared in his heart, when he saw his brother Tang Wei, Tang Wanwan's heart was still deeply shocked, what a good boy, he was tortured like this by illness.
If you want to talk about the appearance of the children of the Tang family, Tang Wei can be said to be the most advantageous, blessed, smart and handsome, really a pretty boy. At the beginning, Mrs. Zhang was not bad to Tang Wei before he was lame. Counting on him to earn a champion for the Tang family to come back.
Tang Wei has been reading through the Four Books and Five Classics since he was a child, and others have to memorize lessons for half a month or several days, but he only needs to read them once or twice, and he can memorize them backwards, which is really a prodigy.
It's a pity that God doesn't have long eyes, the day before Tang Wei was twelve years old to prepare for the township exam, in order to save a daughter who was molested, he was beaten by a few splashy people. But he didn't want the rescued young lady, not only was she not grateful, but she also framed Tang Wei for molesting herself, so he was ordered by the daughter's mother to pick off the broken leg and hamstring.
