Chapter 281: Chilling
Mianniang cried alone for a long time, but she still didn't think about it, what should she do?
The eyes are definitely not getting better, so where does the money come from? She couldn't buy medicine for her eyes, because there was no money, and the doctor said that even if she did, her eyes wouldn't get better, but they wouldn't go blind.
It seems that Mianniang didn't make enough silver last time, Zhang Li feels insecure, in case he waits and waits, after three months, if she doesn't have so much silver, not even twelve taels is enough, then what can he do!
He went to see Yan'er once in March, which was already the longest he could bear, and he absolutely couldn't back down anymore!
"I'm going to look for work outside after dinner today." Zhang Li announced.
Mianniang's hand paused, she almost thought that Zhang Li knew about her eyes.
"It's fine." Mianniang said softly.
"Well, I'll try it, but you also have to hurry, there is no silver at home......" Zhang Li said.
"Hmmm......"
"Humph!" Jin'er snorted.
Mianniang had no choice, she could only continue to embroider, while her eyes could still see.
It's just that she slowly discovered that she really couldn't see, not to mention the needlework, and even the chopping vegetables couldn't see very clearly......
When Jin'er found out, it was because Mianniang cut her hand......
"Mother, what's wrong with you? How do you get distracted when chopping vegetables? Jin'er only thought that Mianniang cut her hand because she was distracted.
Mianniang hurriedly held down the towel and frowned slightly, but quickly burst into tears.
She was about to be unable to hide it, and now she was already planning to tell Jin'er first.
"What's wrong? Painful? Jin'er hurriedly asked.
"Jin'er, mother...... Mother can't see it......" Mianniang couldn't cry.
Jin'er sighed in her heart, what does it mean to be out of sight!
"Mother......" Jin'er was also rarely panicked.
"I went to the hospital a few days ago, and the doctor said that my mother's eyes will not get better, and they will slowly deteriorate worse in the future, and she may not be able to see at all in the future......," Mianniang cried in a low voice.
"How so? Which hospital did my mother go to? Let's change another one, change to the best doctor......" Jin'er said incoherently.
"It's useless...... My mother went to the best medical center...... And my mother's own eyes have their own feelings, it's only been a few days, and I can't even see clearly when I cut vegetables......"
"Mother......" Jin'er's face was panicked, and she didn't know what to say.
"In the future, I'm afraid that my mother will no longer be able to embroider, and I won't be able to see it, so I'm going to find other jobs recently, but if I can't see it, I guess I won't be able to find any work......" Mianniang laughed miserably.
Jin'er hurriedly hugged Mianniang, her heart was very complicated, and the pain seemed to be numb.
She will never forget that when their family was still very good, and her mother was not so desperate to earn money, she really liked embroidery, and when she embroidered satisfactory embroidery, her face was full of brilliance.
But then it slowly changed, she was not enjoying it, she was not doing what she liked, but she was forced to do it for the sake of money.
Nowadays, the most important eye of embroidery, she can't see...... It means that she will never be able to embroider again.
Even she can't guarantee her daily life in the future, she can't see cutting vegetables now, so she really can't do anything.
"Mother, don't be afraid, now that I have grown up, I can also go outside to find a job, and I will definitely be able to feed our mother's ......" Jin'er comforted.
As for her father, he has hands and feet, and he should have supported himself, and even he should have supported his family!
"Don't tell your father about this......" Mianniang pleaded.
"Why? Mother, don't you still have to give him silver! Jin'er said in disbelief.
Mianniang didn't speak, but looking at that look, she obviously acquiesced.
Jin'er just wants to laugh at the moment, this is really ridiculous, it's all at this time, why can she still think of this!
"What money wilt thou give him? Our family may not even be able to afford to eat! Jin'er said angrily.
She has hands and feet, she can only ensure that she goes out to work, so that she and her mother will not starve to death, and there is nothing else, so where will the money come from in the family to that person!
"Your father, if he doesn't give him silver, I'm afraid he will never return to this home......" Mianniang choked up.
"If he doesn't come back, he won't come back, but we will save money for food! Why can't you leave him! Jin'er was puzzled.
"Accustomed to ......"
Accustomed to having him, accustomed to taking care of him, and accustomed to loving him as life......
"Then let me ask you, where did you get your money?" Jin'er said angrily.
At this time, Mianniang didn't hide anything.
"When I got married, your grandmother brought me a lot of dowry, all jewelry......"
Mianniang's words are self-evident, she wants to sell those jewelry, and then give that person silver.
"You're crazy! What did my grandmother say to you when she was alive? How can you sell those! "
Those jewelry were all gold and silver, and there were two jade objects, which were indeed worth a lot of money, but they were grandmother's things, and they were basically old heirlooms.
My grandmother had only one child in her life, so she naturally gave her all these things, and said a long time ago that these things could only be heirlooms, not sold, unless she starved to death.
And these things are hidden, that person still doesn't know, maybe because when her grandmother was alive, she had already seen that that person was not reliable at all, so she forced her mother to swear a poisonous oath not to tell that person, otherwise the husband and wife would not grow old together.
swore by the things her mother cared about the most, so her mother kept such things a secret for more than ten years.
Fortunately, I hid it, otherwise I am afraid that it would have been sold out long ago.
"But I can't think of any other way...... Mother, I'm sorry for you......" Mianniang cried.
These things should have been passed on to Jin'er, but she had such an idea...... It's she who is sorry for Jin'er......
"You're not sorry for me, you're sorry for yourself and your deceased grandmother, how did she raise you? How do you do that? Jin'er said coldly.
She really felt sad for her grandmother, she had such a girl in her life, and she tried her best to cultivate her, thinking that she would cultivate the next generation of famous embroiderers, but it turned out to be in vain.
Mother is talented, and patient, is really a good embroidery seedling, but it's a pity that she fell in love with someone she shouldn't like, wrong for a lifetime, and now it has reached the point of moving family heirlooms.
Maybe Jin'er's words touched Mianniang's heart, mentioning her deceased mother, Mianniang couldn't cry again, Jin'er said it well, she was most sorry for her mother.
She worked hard when she was alive, but it was a pity that she was unfilial and fell to such a point......
Mianniang cried sadly, but she didn't mention the sale of the dowry again.
But Jin'er knew that since her mother had already put it forward, she must have had such an idea a long time ago, and she had to dispel this idea because of guilt for a while. But she still had the idea.
When that person needs silver, she will most likely sell a few pieces of jewelry for that person and give it to him in silver.
She really didn't care about those family heirlooms, because she didn't think about getting married. But she didn't think it was worth it for her grandmother.
And, how long did this sale last? The amount of money that man asked for was not small, and now they have no source of money in their house.
There are indeed a number of things, no matter how powerful my grandmother is, she can't save much in her life, and that idea of jewelry is afraid that it won't last for a year and a half.
So what then? If that person wants to leave, he will also leave the house because of the silver, then her mother will not be able to keep him in the end, and there is not so much silver to keep him.
Jin'er didn't know what to do, but she knew that if she didn't hurry up and find a way, her mother would not be able to keep those things sooner or later.
She thought about it for a long time, and planned to tell that person, so she simply broke the jar and told him that her mother's eyes were broken and she could no longer embroider, so it was impossible to give him silver to go to Chunfeng Lou in the future.
As for his stay or not, that is his own business at that time.
Jin'er gritted her teeth, she knew that in this way, her mother must hate her, but she had no other way.
Zhang Li went out all morning, but he didn't find a job, he didn't find it last time, how could he find it this time.
Now he is not very urgent to find a job, just to be prepared, so he is not serious when he is looking for a job, and he is looking for a job, but his own requirements are too high.
First of all, he can't be too tired, he knows that he hasn't done heavy work, and he definitely can't do those physical jobs.
Then the monthly money can't be too low, it's better not to go, but he can't make any money when he's tired and tired, so what is he going to do? It's a shame to be plain.
He was very picky, so in the morning, apart from a quarrel with the master's house, he accomplished nothing.
"Hurry up and cook, I'm going to starve!"
As soon as he got home, Zhang Li sprinkled his anger on Mianniang.
Mianniang didn't speak, just went to the back kitchen silently.
"Have you found a job?" Jin'er asked angrily.
As soon as he mentioned this, Zhang Li thought of the fact that the man in the morning said that he was useless and thought of beauty, and then they quarreled.
As soon as Jin'er said this, he became angry and looked at Jin'er angrily.
"What kind of attitude do you have, who taught you to talk to your dad like this!"
"Don't talk about him left and right, I'm asking you, but looking at you like this, I haven't found it!" Jin'er scoffed.
"It's so easy to find a suitable job, what do you know about a little child!" Zhang Li said angrily.
"I don't want to care about you, it doesn't matter to me if you find it or not, I'm just asking casually, because I have to tell you something." Jin'er said coldly.
"What?" Zhang Li asked angrily.
"My mother is sick......
"You're here again, thinking I'm going to be fooled?"
Before Jin'er finished speaking, she was interrupted by Zhang Li.
"Why can't you listen to me? Last time my mother went to the hospital, her eyes were broken......"
At the mention of this, Jin'er also showed a rare sad look.
"What do you mean? What does it mean to have broken eyes? Zhang Li said nervously.
His nervous heart was pounding, just as he thought.
"That's what it means, my eyes are broken, I can't be cured, now I can't see the needle and thread, I can't see the vegetables clearly when I cook these days, and I will slowly not even see things clearly, until finally, I can't see it at all!"
"How so? Let's go see a good doctor......" Zhang Li said nervously.
"It's useless, I've already seen the two best hospitals in the town, it's not because of the doctor, or because I found the best doctor, and my mother's eyes can't get better, now I can only apply medicine every day, see less light, use less eyes, maybe it's better, so I won't ......see anything in the end," Jin'er muttered.
It's not that she didn't inquire, and even if she didn't give up, she took her mother to another famous medical center, but the doctor said the same thing, and her eyes were hopeless......
"What then? Will she never be able to embroider again? If you don't embroider, there will be no silver......" Zhang Li said in despair.
"Huh...... All you can think of is silver now! Don't you care about your mother at all? Her eyes are broken and she can't do what she loves anymore! Jin'er collapsed.
"What are you yelling about! Why don't I care anymore? Didn't I say that? Isn't it right that I care about silver? If there is no money in the house, we will all die! All starve to death! Zhang Li said frantically.
"You think too much, it will only be you who will die, my mother and I have hands and feet, no matter what we do, it is okay to wash other people's clothes and earn some rice money, we will not starve to death, but you ...... Hehe! Jin'er said sarcastically.
A person with low eyes, high pretensions, but good for nothing, he is the only one who starves to death in the end!
Zhang Li didn't speak, now he only heard about the lack of silver, and his first reaction was not about eating, that is, if he didn't have silver, he would never see Yan'er again!
How can that be! If he never sees her again in his life, he will die!
No, no, he must find a way to get the silver to see Yan'er, she is still waiting for him!
"I'm going to earn silver, I'm going to earn silver......" Zhang Li was crazy, and he only muttered this sentence in his mouth.
"Hehe, I'm crazy, I'm still thinking about women at this time, I'm really crazy!" Jin'er sneered.
It's really sad, that woman has no sincerity, she is just bored and just making fun of him. And she is not interested in him now, and she will soon abandon him, but now, at this time, he is still thinking about that woman!
It's really sad and ridiculous, stupid......
In this scene that Mianniang saw when she came over, Jin'er was sneering, but Zhang Li was sitting on a stool muttering something, as if she had hysteria.
"Husband? Husband! Mianniang shouted nervously.
"I want silver, I want silver!" Zhang Li raised his head, grabbed Mianniang and said.
Mianniang didn't know why, and looked at Jin'er on the side.
"Jin'er, what's wrong with your father?" Mianniang asked nervously.
"It's nothing, he just knows about your eyes, and he knows that there will be no silver in the future, and he won't be able to see that woman without silver, so he can't accept it for a while, that's all!" Jin'er said indifferently.
"Jin'er! Why are you telling your father! I obviously confessed to you......" Mianniang said angrily.
"But I don't want to hide it from him, otherwise you will definitely have that thought, I am not ......worth it for my grandmother," Jin'er said coldly.
"You!" Mianniang raised her hand, but in the end she didn't fight.
"You want to hit me? For this man? Jin'er asked incredulously.
She really felt very cold, she always thought that although her mother was cowardly, she still loved her very much.
But now, she just told the truth, which stimulated this man, and she had reached the point where she wanted to beat herself.
Regardless of whether she was beaten down in the end or not, in Jin'er's heart, it was the same, and she had the idea of beating her.
Mianniang didn't realize Jin'er's mood, she still looked at Zhang Li nervously, not knowing what to do.
"Husband? Husband, wake up, I have silver, I really have silver, don't be afraid ......" Mianniang coaxed.
As soon as silver was really mentioned, Zhang Li immediately reacted.
"Do you have silver? Give me the silver, give me the money! Zhang Li grabbed Mianniang tightly and said wildly.
Jin'er was next to her, full of disdain, if there was really nothing, pretending to be crazy and stupid, didn't she wake up at the mention of silver?
"Okay, I'll give it to you, and I'll give you all the money." Mianniang comforted.
Jin'er doesn't want to care anymore, she did that before, but it was also for her mother, but her mother only cares about this man, she is bent on doing this, why should she persuade her......
"Nope! You are blind, you have no money, and you will not have any silver again! Zhang Li said suddenly.
Then he threw Mianniang away, Mianniang was in pain, and only fell to the ground.
"Mother!" Jin'er hurriedly went to help Mianniang.
"What are you doing pretending to be crazy and stupid!" Jin'er scolded angrily.
She felt that this man was pretending, a good person, how could he go crazy all of a sudden.
"Husband, I really have silver, you see, this is a silver bracelet, you can exchange it for silver, I'll give it to you, will you wake up?" Mianniang cried and pleaded.
Mianniang ignored Jin'er, only ran to Zhang Li again and took off the bracelet on her hand.
Jin'er looked at her empty hands, she nervously ran over to pull her, but she didn't look at herself at all......
Zhang Li looked at the silver bracelet, snatched it down, and clutched it tightly.
"My Silver ......"
"Huh!" Jin'er sneered.
She didn't want to watch it anymore, and she didn't want to watch that man's clumsy acting skills, so she could only deceive her poor woman!
may not be able to deceive, but she is just willing to fight and suffer, and her mother is willing......
She walked out of the door, looked at the courtyard, and didn't care about her mother's dowry at all, but the family had already been dispersed......
She should be damned, her mother is hopeless, and her hard work, she doesn't seem to need it, she doesn't really care about her as a girl in her heart, at least in front of that man, she is worthless......
