After Yuan Lingqian finished speaking, he hid his face and cried, and Yuan Yizhi on the bed felt that the sky had fallen.

At that moment, all the energy and energy in his body seemed to be drained, and he couldn't lift any strength, so he looked ahead blankly, like a wooden man, without saying a word, motionless.

Yuan Lingqian felt even more sad when she saw this, her father's appearance, the family was collapsed.

Their mother couldn't count on it, and from now on, all the burdens of the family fell on her shoulders.

She has to take care of her father and mother, raise her younger siblings, and earn money to support her family......

All this was like a huge mountain from the sky, firmly pressing on her shoulders, and she was overwhelmed.

After a long time, Yuan Yizhi came back to his senses, "You will beg your grandfather and grandmother again, if they are soft-hearted, they will not have a place for you to live......"

"What about you, Daddy?" Yuan Lingqian's words were a little uneasy.

"Me? I've become a waste, and living like this is a drag on you......"

Yuan Lingqian shook his head again and again, "It's not yet the time when the mountains and rivers are exhausted, why did my father say those depressing words?" Even if I have little ability, I will try my best to support this family, and as for my grandfather and grandmother, I still don't bother it. ”

Since her mother was disgusted by the clan because of that incident, she has learned to read words and emotions a little.

She went to ask for it that time before, only looking at her grandmother's expression, and knew that the next time she begged for the door, she might not be able to get her wish, her grandfather was good at talking, and after busy for her father, the distressed look on his face did not seem to be fake.

Only she could see that her grandfather could not be the house, and if it were not for her grandmother's nod, even if they knelt at the door, they would not get any help.

Rather than going to kill the little affection left at this time, it is better to endure the difficulties for a while, and the next time when you have to do it as a last resort, you can still come to the door with a cheeky face to ask for it.

Yuan Yizhi didn't seem to think that Yuan Lingqian could think so clearly, and glanced at her with some surprise.

When I saw the resolute look on her face, I was also shocked, and I only felt that these days, I was too neglectful of the children at home.

I don't know how different they were from before.

But such a change is somewhat of a good thing for their crumbling home.

"It's just like this, but it hurts you." Yuan Yizhi's face was gloomy, and his words were full of guilt.

Yuan Lingqian shook his head bitterly.

But if there is a way, she will not carry the whole family on her shoulders.

But who told her father and mother to offend her grandfather and grandmother so badly, and she never left herself a way out.

Nowadays, it is still asking for door-to-door visits, how can it be so easy?

She was almost certain that if it weren't for her father's life hanging by a thread this time, her grandmother wouldn't have frowned even if she knelt for so long.

Only who can blame this is just a self-brewed bitter fruit, and you have to swallow it in your stomach if you grit your teeth.

After Yuan Yizhi fell asleep, Yuan Lingqian blew out the oil lamp, went out gently, and closed the door.

Just as he was about to go back to his house, he heard the unbearable scolding sound in the Lu family's room next door.

She paused.

Since her mother broke her leg for arson, her father and mother have often quarreled, and her father simply moved to another vacant house.

It is the room where he is now recuperating from his injuries, and her mother is still in the original house.

Because his father complained about her mother in his heart, he never went into her house again to look at her.

made her mother's temper more and more irritable, and often made them angry.

Yuan Lingqian touched her arm, she knew that there must be many bruises and purple marks under her clothes.

It was all pinched by her hand when her mother's heart was not going well.

She knew that if she went in at this time, she would inevitably be beaten and scolded.

The footsteps are a little hesitant, but she has been taught the way of filial piety since she was a child, if she listens and does not listen, she feels that her conscience is uneasy.

When hesitating.

Seeing a small head poking out of the door of her room, it was her eight-year-old sister, she looked left and right with a clever face, and then lowered her voice, "Second sister, don't go over, my mother's temper is getting worse and worse, and she was beaten and scolded in the past, why bother to suffer that loss?" ”

Yuan Lingqian looked back at the door again, hesitated for a while, nodded at the little sister, and pushed the door into the room.

These days, her mother's whole spirit is very wrong.

Such a gloomy gaze made her feel terrifying when she saw it.

And her refusal to pay money to her father to see the injury also pierced a thorn in Yuan Lingqi's heart.

Even if she knew that she didn't have much savings, she didn't have a single copper coin, and it was really unreasonable to count on her grandparents.

She felt that her mother had changed, that she did not know her, and that she was even afraid.

In the past, even if she was strict, she still had some love for them, but now she is different, and there is no warmth in her eyes, only resentment.

At this time, she just wanted to stay away from her mother.

Yuan Lingqi entered the door, closed the door tightly, and exhaled a breath, and felt a little happy inexplicably.

But this pleasure was only fleeting, and it immediately showed embarrassment again.

In front of her father, she said it easily, but in fact, she didn't have any bottom in her heart.

Let her bear the burden of the whole family by herself, in the past, she would not have dared to think of it.

Now she is also a little masterless, and she doesn't know how to act.

Yuan Lingqian couldn't sleep all night, and when it was dawn, he got up early.

When she was about to go out, Yuan Lingyue on the side also sat up with sleepy eyes, "Second sister, why did you get up so early?" ”

Yuan Lingqian lowered his voice: "I'll go outside and touch some fish." ”

There is a river outside Shangyuan Village, and the villagers need to divert water for irrigation, so they dig ditches one after another.

The water in those ditches is not deep, and there are often some small fish and shrimp, and they like to go there to fish together since they were young, even if the fish is not big, but it is more or less a meat.

Yuan Lingyue got up with a bone, "Second sister, I'll go with you." ”

She also felt scared of her mother's temper, and she didn't want to face her anger alone, so she wisely chose to go fishing with her sister.

On the way out, Yuan Lingyue stepped on the morning dew with both feet, tilted her head and said to her, "Second sister, I haven't eaten fish for a long time, can I eat a bite later?" ”

Because her father was the laborer of the top door of the family, all the meat in their family used to come to him first.

Only one bite of meat is rare, and in the end, there is often nothing left, and even if there is, her mother will most likely leave it to her younger brother, and they can eat very little.

Now that her mother's foot hurts and she can't get out of bed, she wants to grind it with her second sister, and secretly taste it when her father and mother don't know.

She can be satisfied with just one bite.

Yuan Lingqian shook his head, "This fish is not for us to eat ourselves......"

"Who are you going to eat?"

"This time my father was able to stay alive, thanks to my grandfather and grandmother who gave up the money, we have no ability to repay it, so we can only catch some fish and send it to our heart, and do our best......"

"Can't you use something else?" She really wanted to eat that fish.

"I can't think of anything else I can do ......"

Even if this fish can't be handled, it is still fishy compared to wild vegetables and other things.
