Chapter Twenty-Eight: My Brother Is Beaten

Chen Shuang knew that she and Cao Yueya were a little bit uncompatible, both of them were people with hard personalities, Cao Yueya was a little arrogant to strong, Gu Changning was a little stubborn, the two of them had been together for a long time, if they encountered a situation where they did not agree, it was easy to have conflicts.

Of course, this is not a big deal, but the personalities of the two of them are destined to look at each other a little unpleasantly.

Chen Shuang's personality is relatively soft, his temper is good, and he is not very good at arguing with others, so he still has some good popularity in the village.

Cao Yueya saw that she was playing well with Gu Changning, and she was a little unconvinced, feeling that she seemed to lose to Gu Changning in this way, so she deliberately often played with Chen Shuang, wanting to pull her into her own small circle, and it was best not to associate with Gu Changning in the future.

Gu Changning knew this, and he was even more displeased with Cao Yueya, and now when he heard Chen Shuang say this, a small cluster of flames suddenly appeared in his eyes, and he was about to go to her with Chen Shuang.

"Ning Ning?" Chen Shuang was stunned by her actions and asked puzzledly.

"Let's go find Cao Yueya!" Gu Changning explained aggressively.

"What are you looking for her?" Chen Shuang thought of Fang Cai's conversation, and was shocked, and said, "You're not going to quarrel with her, are you?" ”

"What are you doing arguing with her? What a waste of effort, don't be noisy! Gu Changning shook his head with disgust on his face and said, "I want to show her, even if she says bad things about me in the back, you still have the best time with me!" ”

There was a little smugness when he spoke, and Chen Shuang was amused when he saw it.

"I'm sorry, Ningning, I'm not free now, I still have to go up the mountain to cut the pigweed and go back to feed the pigs and chickens."

"Cutting hogweed?" Gu Changning realized that she was carrying a bamboo basket behind her, "I'll go with you?" ”

"It's okay, no, I'll just go alone, there are only two pigs left in our family now, and they are still two small ones, and they don't eat much." Chen Shuang explained.

Chen Shuangniang built a pigsty in the backyard of Chen Shuang's house, and Chen Shuangniang went to catch a few piglets to raise them in addition to working in the field on weekdays, and then sold them during the Chinese New Year, and she could get a few taels of silver a year.

Originally, how could I raise four or five pigs at a time, but this year, Chen Shuangniang saw that her son was older, and she was going to talk about her daughter-in-law in a few years, plus last year Gu Shan's family built a new and beautiful house, which made her look a little hot, so she also had the idea of building a new house.

Now she is thinking about whether to expand directly in the place where she lives now or choose another land to build a house, because she didn't think about it, the money in her hand can't be moved at will, so this time she only caught two piglets and came back to raise, so that Chen Shuang doesn't need to cut more pigweed.

Gu Changning only remembered this when he heard her talk about it, in his previous life, Chen Shuang's family also built a new house, and it was built directly on the vacant land next to Chen Shuang's house.

Because the Gu family built such a beautiful house last year, the people in the village were envious, and those who had some money in hand began to buy land and build houses, which caused the land price in the village to rise.

Chen Shuangniang saw that it was too expensive to buy land elsewhere, and it happened that their family had a strong taste because of pig raising, and the Chen family was in the wind, and everyone didn't like to live near her home, and no one wanted the land there, so Chen Shuangniang chose to build a new house there.

After thinking of this stubble, Gu Changning nodded, and after separating from Chen Shuang at the entrance of the village, she went home, completely unaware that there was still something waiting for her at home.

Gu Changning hummed a cheerful tune all the way home, but as soon as she pushed the door open, she saw that A-Niang was hitting her brother's back with a bamboo pole in the main hall of the South House, she was shocked, and hurriedly stepped forward to stop her, she directly blocked in front of Gu Huai'an, preventing A-Niang from continuing to beat her brother.

"A-Niang, A-Niang! What's going on? Why do you want to hit your brother? Gu Changning opened his bright and clear eyes and looked at Yang Huiyun with suspicion.

Yang Huiyun watched her daughter come back, then looked at her son who was kneeling on the ground with his head bowed silently, endured the anger in his heart, and said angrily: "Okay, you brothers and sisters have now learned to work together to deceive me, and you went to the market to sell things without saying a word?" ”

Gu Changning heard that A-Niang was angry about this, and he was even more unclear in his heart, "Sell things...... What's wrong? ”

"What's wrong?" Yang Huiyun was still holding the bamboo pole in her hand, and a thin layer of crimson appeared on her cheeks, "Let me ask you, did you go alone or did your brother take you there?" ”

Gu Changning blinked, and inexplicably felt that if she couldn't answer this question well, she would have to eat fried meat on a bamboo board, so she lowered her voice and said cautiously: "At first...... My brother went with me. ”

"In the beginning? So you're left alone? Yang Huiyun asked with an angry smile and a smile.

When Gu Huai'an handed her the money bag, she felt that it was wrong, Gu Huai'an said that she sold ten catties of raspberries in the market, and sold a total of ninety wen together with the bamboo basket.

The market is open, the school is open, and all the raspberries are sold out in just one hour?

It's not a big family that will go to the market, where are ordinary people willing to spend money to buy these, plus a pound of ten cents, they originally intended to move and were scared by this price and withdrew their hands.

Sure enough, under her questioning, she learned that when the time was about to arrive, Gu Huai'an went to the school first, leaving Gu Changning alone in the bazaar.

When Yang Huiyun heard this, she only felt that her blood was surging, and she almost fainted, she was shocked and angry, and directly asked Gu Huai'an to kneel, and took out a bamboo pole and pumped it straight at him, but Gu Changning came back after just two strokes.

Seeing that Gu Changning came to stop herself, Yang Huiyun asked her the same question again, and got the same answer as Gu Huai'an, so the anger in her heart did not continue to heat up.

Gu Changning didn't know why A-Niang was so angry, she had the impression that A-Niang had always been very gentle, and she had never spoken loudly, how could she react so much to the fact that she went to the market to sell things by herself, Gu Changning didn't understand.

Yang Huiyun saw Gu Changning's expressionless face with a small face, neither spoke nor let her continue to beat Gu Huai'an, her stubborn expression reminded her of her father, Father Yang is also such a stubborn character, her heart softened a little, she couldn't help sighing, threw the bamboo pole in her hand to the ground, sat on the official hat chair, and said with a tired face, "You guys are so bold!" ”

Gu Changning saw that A-Niang's attitude seemed to be softening, and immediately seized the opportunity to ask, "A-Niang, what do you mean by this?" We're just going to sell raspberries. ”

Yang Huiyun raised her head, her eyes turned around on Gu Huai'an and Gu Changning's faces, and saw that they all had doubts on their faces, afraid that she didn't know why she was angry, so she sighed again, and said, "A-Niang is not angry that you go to the market to sell things, A-Niang is angry that you don't know the danger here!" ”

She saw that the brother and sister were still at a loss, and explained to them in detail, "Back then, a sister of my clan, about the same age as you, was also eight years old, and was called by her mother, that is, my aunt, to go to the market to buy things, but the person has never been seen again, and now twenty or thirty years later, there is still no news of the person, and most of this person cannot be found." ”

Yang Huiyun looked at Gu Changning, who was stunned, and said with fear: "If you lose it, I am afraid that it will be difficult to get it back in this life, and it is even more difficult than losing the boy, understand?" ”

Those who are lost, especially girls, are lucky enough to go to another family, and as long as they have a bowl of rice to eat and not starve to death, they are considered good, and those who are worse are sold to places where they can't be seen.

Gu Changning is beautiful, although she is only eight years old, she is already a beauty embryo, with her appearance, the chance of being sold to that kind of place is higher, those mothers are very vicious, and they are willing to spend money for such a girl, as long as you enter this kind of place, this life will be ruined!

She didn't want to say it too clearly, so as not to stain the ears of the two children, but Gu Changning lived a lifetime, so she naturally heard the implied meaning in Yang Huiyun.

She stood there, her head down, and her face was sneering.

She forgot that she was only eight years old now.

Although Gu Huaian didn't hear the deep meaning of A-Niang's words, he also figured out the key, his sister is only eight years old, and she is alone, so she is easy to be targeted, and it will be too late to regret it when she is taken away.

Thinking of this, Gu Huai'an also began to feel afraid in his heart, and said to Yang Huiyun: "What A-Niang said is that I didn't think about this matter, it was indeed my fault, and I should fight it." ”

"It's none of my brother's business, it's my idea to go to the market to sell things, my brother originally wanted to accompany me to the market to be separated, but I kept urging my brother to go to the school, and if my mother wants to beat me, beat me." Gu Changning closed his eyes tightly, his face wrinkled together, and said.

Yang Huiyun watched the two children scramble to take the responsibility on their bodies, the depression in her heart dissipated slightly, and she still said with some displeasure: "Am I not tired of looking for one or two?" ”

As soon as Gu Changning heard this, he knew that A-Niang was preparing to overturn this matter, and he didn't pursue it anymore, and he said very up-to-the-point: "A-Niang still has a younger brother in her belly, of course she gets tired easily, let's go back to the house and lie down and rest for a while, just leave any work at home to me, with me, it will be able to be completed beautifully, A-Niang doesn't have to worry about it." ”

Yang Huiyun glanced at her, snorted, and stood up with the handrail, ready to go back to the house.

Gu Changning quietly looked at A-Niang's distant figure, and deliberately shouted loudly at her back: "Brother, get up quickly, there is still a lot of work to be done at home, don't you want to stay here in the main hall to hide and relax, hurry up!" ”

Yang Huiyun's footsteps froze slightly, and finally returned to the house without saying anything.

According to Gu Shan's previous rules, his son made a mistake and had to kneel until dinner before he could get up, Gu Changning used the excuse of work to pull Gu Huaian up, and then dragged him back to the house to take medicine.

"It's okay, it's okay, A-Niang doesn't have enough strength, and she doesn't hit hard." Gu Changning looked at the few red marks behind Gu Huai'an, and saw that the red marks were only a little red and swollen, and the skin was not broken and there was no bleeding, so he said happily.

There is a lot of sweat on such a hot day, and if you hit the wound, it is easy to cause inflammation, and the problem is big.

Gu Huai'an listened to his sister's words, and smiled to comfort her: "Actually, A-Niang doesn't hurt, I don't feel anything, you don't have to worry." ”

Gu Changning didn't speak, and continued to give medicine to his brother.

After taking the medicine, she wanted her brother to rest in the house for a while, and she would solve it for dinner, but she saw her brother getting up and preparing to get off the kang.

"What are you doing on the kang?" Gu Changning hurriedly stopped him.

"I'll go to the study and copy the book."

Gu Changning's face darkened when he heard this, and he couldn't help but press him back onto the kang directly, "Don't be in a hurry to copy the book at this time, brother, you take care of the back injury first, and talk about the rest later!" ”

Seeing Gu Changning's resolute attitude, Gu Huai'an blinked his eyes and compromised: "That's okay, but you have to go to the study to help me bring the book bag, I haven't memorized the text that the master wants me to memorize today, and I can just memorize the book when I lie down and have nothing to do." ”

Gu Changning thought that the endorsement was a brain, which should not affect the recovery of the injury, so he nodded and agreed, and then went to the study to help him get the book bag, and then hurried to make dinner.
