Chapter 896: Lend you a little
When the old couple were talking in the room, Zhou Li in the next room also heard it.
The two rooms are next to each other, only separated by a wall, and the sound insulation effect is not good, and the old couple did not deliberately lower their voices when they spoke.
So, Zhou Li listened to his father's conversation word for word. Especially when he heard his father's words, Zhou Li had a complicated and indescribable feeling in his heart, both helpless and helpless.
My father and mother finally knew that they regretted it until this time, and knew that they should not have been arguing to separate the family, let alone forcing their brother and sister-in-law to the Gan family, otherwise, their lives should be very comfortable now.
It's a pity, now that I know it's too late to regret it, my brother and sister-in-law have no nostalgia and reluctance for this family, they can live a good life with their own skills, how can they come back?
Zhou Li was lying on the cold and hard bed, and his heart was cold and swishing. The current life is really hard, even more bitter than the years when my sister-in-law first entered the door. At that time, although he was often forced to work in the fields and often scolded, at least he could eat enough for every meal, and occasionally he could eat meat.
It would be nice to go back in time, preferably a few months ago, when my sister-in-law not only had a better temperament, but she also always bought fish and meat and came back, cooked herself, and cooked a table of dishes that they had never seen before.
Thinking of the taste of those dishes, Zhou Li couldn't sleep even more, and his stomach gurgled and gurgled.
Hungry and didn't have enough to eat at night.
The rice jar is empty, and tomorrow I won't even be able to cook the rice soup.
Tomorrow morning, I will go to the village chief and come back with dozens of catties of grain. You can't really ignore your father and mother, let them starve to death!
Thinking like this, Zhou Li couldn't help but spit out another breath of turbidity.
Now that his injuries have healed, he has to think of going out to find some work to earn money, and he can't always be idle at home.
But what kind of work can you do to make money? I don't have any skills, so I can do field work. At this time, there is basically no work to be done in the fields, and no one hires anyone to do the farm work.
It's okay to go to the wharf to load and unload people, and the wages are still paid daily. But recently, I have eaten rice soup every day, and there is no oil and water in my stomach, and my whole body is soft and tired, and I am afraid that I will not be able to do the hard work.
It's not good, that's not good, what should I do?
In the past, if I could learn one or two things from my sister-in-law to eat, and make them to sell in the town, it would definitely make money quickly and make a lot of money. My sister-in-law made thousands of taels of silver by selling meat sauce and spicy shredded pork.
It's enviable to think about!
Lying hungry on the hard bed board and unable to sleep, Zhou Li thought a lot this night, and felt a lot of emotion, and finally didn't know how to sleep.
Early the next morning, after Zhou Li got up, he quietly went to the village chief and told him that he would carry dozens of catties of grain back.
After the village chief understood Zhou Li's intention, his face showed embarrassment.
"Zhou Li, you've run out of food at home? If you really can't open the pot, my uncle will go back to the house to see how much rice is still in my rice jar, and if so, go and talk to your aunt and ask her to lend you some. ”
Zhou Li listened to the meaning of the village chief's words, and he couldn't come anyway.
How did he borrow grain? The grain is obviously his, a total of more than 500 catties! said that he would trouble the village chief to help hide it first, and when he didn't have anything to eat at home, he would just go over and get it.
But I listened to the village chief just now, how did I get the food as if it was the village chief's own family?
