Chapter 46 Pork Debt Payment
Tian Ruyue was even more curious when she saw her being so solemn, and pestered her to ask.
Tian Mu sighed and had to say it all: "Actually, we are not from Stone Village at all.
Decades ago, when there was a famine in your grandmother and grandfather's village, and the area was on the border and there was a perennial war, they decided to move their family to the capital.
Halfway through, the starving died, the sick died, the sold sold, and in the end, only your grandmother fled to the stone village with your father and your second uncle.
The orphan and widow are penniless and no one is willing to take them in, and seeing that they are on a desperate road, the richest man in Stone Village, Old Man Zhou, has taken a fancy to your father and wants to take him as a son.
Old man Zhou married several concubines but nothing came out, I heard the fortune teller say that the stepson can have his own children, and he also tried to adopt the children of the side branch but still nothing, until he took a fancy to your father.
But your father is the son of a Tian family, so it is naturally impossible for your grandmother to agree, so she pushed your second uncle out.
Master Zhou retreated and adopted your second uncle, and gave your grandmother ten taels of silver to settle in Stone Village. ”
Tian Ruyue understood: "No wonder the second uncle's surname is Zhou." "What adoptive? It's clearly sold! No wonder the Qian family has been living in the Tian family and living a hard life, and they don't dare to go to Zhou Cuifen's house to enjoy happiness.
Death of starvation, death of disease is easy to understand, sold?
What is sold? Sell your daughter?
Tian's mother sighed: "Although your second uncle has never worried about food and clothing, he hates your grandmother and your father. He has been doing business abroad all the year round, and his life has gotten better and better over the years, and your father has never asked him for help. After speaking, he glanced at his daughter with a warning: "You are rotten in your stomach about this matter, don't be in front of your father and your grandmother!" Your second uncle will never admit his relationship with our family in front of outsiders. "Whether it is passed or sold, it is not a family if you change your surname, but my mother-in-law has always refused to admit it.
Tian Ruyue nodded and promised, walked over and stretched out her hand to drag her out: "Mother, don't help me clean up, I'll do it myself, you go home quickly, otherwise I'm worried that my grandmother will beat you again." ”
Tian's mother was relieved and her eyes turned red: "Okay, I'll go back first." As he walked out, he took the silver bracelet off his wrist and carefully took it into his arms. Seeing that her daughter looked at it, she hurriedly explained: "I like this bracelet very much, but it is not good for your grandmother to see it." ”
Tian Ruyue expressed her understanding, personally sent her out of the door, turned around and went back to the kitchen to continue cleaning up.
Seeing that there was still a pound of pork and a pound of pork ribs left in the wooden basin, he picked up a kitchen knife and cut the pork in half and put it all into the vegetable basket.
After thinking about it, he took another half catty of pork ribs and put it in, and then tore off a black cloth from his old clothes to cover it.
For the first time, she locked the thatched house!
She studied this ancient copper lock for a while before locking it, and she didn't feel at ease and pulled it twice with her hand to make sure that the lock was not pulled open, so she put away the key and went out.
Half a catty of pork and pork ribs were given to the fat girl, and the last half catty of pork was ready to be used to pay for the carpenter's tools. Although she still has a lot of silver on her, she can't use it! so as not to cause unnecessary trouble.
The fat girl's home lives next door to the Tian family, which is easy to find, but Tian Ruyue deliberately bypassed the Tian family like a thief and knocked on the back door of Lizheng's house.
It was Aunt Li who opened the door, and when she saw Tian Ruyue carrying a vegetable basket, she was stunned for a moment, and immediately took the initiative to ask: "Come to find the fat girl?" Hurry up and come in. His eyes searched around the conspicuous places on her body, and saw that she had no obvious injuries, and his heart was secretly strange.
Tian Ruyue shook her head: "I won't go in, can you ask the fat girl to come out?" ”
"You wait." Aunt Li didn't hesitate to turn around and call someone.
Tian Ruyue stood quietly outside the door and waited, and soon waited for the fat girl.
The fat girl was very enthusiastic when she saw Tian Ruyue, and dragged her into the house: "If you have anything to say, go to my room and say." ”
Tian Ruyue caught a glimpse of Aunt Li standing on the sidelines and watching, so she obeyed the fat girl's intention and went to her room.
Although Li Zheng has four children, the first three are all sons, and finally gave birth to a daughter of the fat girl, so she is pampered and has a room by herself.
Although the room was half smaller than Tian Ruyue's room in Tian's house, it basically had everything, and even a small dresser.
Before Tian Ruyue finished looking at her room, she was grabbed by the fat girl's arm and asked eagerly, "What happened?" How's it going? Did you get beaten by your grandmother? Did she snatch all your things!! ”
Tian Ruyue comforted her: "Listen to me calmly, my grandmother and my father both wanted to beat me, but in the end it didn't work, and my grandmother was dragged home by my father." I didn't get anything robbed, but I took the initiative to give them rice and meat and meat. ”
The fat girl stomped her feet angrily: "Why are you so stupid!" ”
Tian Ruyue shook her head and retorted: "Although I don't want to give my grandmother, my mother and eldest brother have always defended me, and I can't let them be angry and hungry because of my grandmother." ”
The fat girl thought about it and sighed: "You are really kind." ”
"Don't mention my grandmother, I brought you something." Tian Ruyue lifted the black cloth and took out half a catty of pork and half a catty of pork ribs and handed it over.
The fat girl took it in surprise: "For me?" That's great! There was meat to eat in the evening! Although her father is Lizheng's family conditions are quite acceptable, it is impossible to eat meat every day, and it is very good to eat meat once or twice a month on average!
Seeing that there was still half a catty of meat in her vegetable basket, she subconsciously asked, "Who is this for?" ”
Tian Ruyue's face was serious: "I was about to tell you about this, can you take me to the carpenter's house?" I want him to help me make a few gadgets, I don't have the money to pay, I want to use this pork to pay off the debt, do you think it's okay? Although she visited the whole village, she didn't know which one was the carpenter's house, so she could only ask the fat girl to lead the way.
"It's a trivial matter to take you to the carpenter's house, and they can't wait to pay off their debts with pork, but what gadgets are you going to make?" The fat girl looked curious.
Tian Ruyue accidentally broke the bowl, afraid of being discovered by her grandmother, so she decided to grope for the bowl herself.
After hearing this, the fat girl glared at her for a while: "You haven't fallen asleep yet, why are you talking in your sleep?" ”
Tian Ruyue glared back: "In a word, do you accompany me?" ”
The fat girl suddenly smiled: "I thought you were bolder, it turns out that you are still as timid as before, and you need someone to accompany you wherever you go." ”
Tian Ruyue, who just wanted her to lead the way: "......"
"You wait for me, I'll go talk to my mother." After speaking, the fat girl ran out of the room with pork and ribs.
After Tian Ruyue waited for her to leave, she glanced left and right, walked to the wooden pier in front of her dresser and sat down.
Bored by waiting, she studied the bronze mirror on her dresser.
The photo is blurry, and the face is deformed!
Tian Ruyue looked at her elongated and deformed blurred face in the mirror, and whispered softly: "Monster." "It's better to wash your face every day with water!
