Chapter 12: Back to My Mother's Home

The praying mantis cicada wanted to be Gu Xiaoqi of the yellow finch, and when he turned to leave, he didn't even look back.

Of course, she also knew that she was not doing properly, but the feeling of hunger was too deep in her bones, and she thought that both sides were outlaws.

Robbing the outlaws' things, Gu Xiaoqi certainly didn't have any guilt.

From morning to afternoon, Gu Xiaoqi came out of the densely wooded mountains.

The downhill road didn't take much effort, and when the scenery in front of him began to open up, Gu Xiaoqi saw patches of fields and busy people.

The people here are different from the villagers of Lotus Village, all of them wield hoes and hoe the ground.

Because the soil in the ground has begun to freeze now, the work has to be done.

After going down the mountain, walk along the main road, and then walk on the road for thirty miles, which is the Shuitang Village where Gu Xiaoqi is going.

Gu Xiaoqi sat on the cold stone, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and put down his back.

"Isn't this a little one? You went down the mountain, why didn't you see your husband!

A middle-aged man driving an ox cart stopped, he looked at Gu Xiaoqi who was sitting on the boulder, and asked.

After Gu Xiaoyi, who had just taken a sip of water, heard his words, he glanced up at the middle-aged man and knew who he was.

"Uncle Big Head, you go up the mountain to collect firewood!"

There is a scattering market on the ten miles away from Shuitang Village, and some people in the market usually ask for firewood, so many people in Shuitang Village will go up the mountain to collect firewood and sell it.

Although it can't be sold for a few dollars, no matter how small the mosquito is, it is still meat, and a small amount can become a lot.

"Yes, are you going home, come on, I happen to be going back too."

Uncle Big Head grinned, urging her to get into the ox cart, and she could walk like this for a while.

Gu Xiaoqi did not politely refuse, lifted his back and jumped on the ox cart, and sat on the bundle of sturdy firewood.

"Uncle Big Head, this is for you."

She didn't have the fare, Gu Xiaoqi was penniless now, and in the current situation, she felt that it was better to give food.

Sure enough, after Uncle Datou saw the sweet potato she handed over, he took it beautifully, and he ate the sweet potato with his free hand while driving the car.

"Uncle, my mother, they're okay!" Gu Xiaoqi quietly inquired about the affairs of the family.

She married out of the family, and it is estimated that only her mother Li will do the work, or her younger brother will help her.

Uncle Datou finished eating the sweet potatoes in three bites, and after hearing Gu Xiaoyi's question, he sighed, and he didn't know whether to say it or not.

But after thinking about it, it's not that the little kid doesn't know what is going on at home.

"Your father went to gamble again, you married the money, and your father gambled nothing......"

Gu Xiaoqi's father, Gu Dacai, saw that his married daughter got two taels of silver, so he couldn't wait to take it out and gamble.

It's just that he gambled ten times and lost ten times, and he sent a penny of money to the gambling house at home.

"He beat my mother." Gu Xiaoyi's black eyes fluctuated very obviously.

This is the emotion that still remains in the original body, and Gu Xiaoqi let this emotion fluctuate in his heart.

"Isn't it? The fight was so bad, your mother is still lying in bed and can't get up! Your father, no one can control him. ”

"Alas, I feel sad when I look at it, your father is a good person, where can he not make money, why do you have to get involved in gambling!

Uncle Datou is a person who understands, and a gambler can lose all the things in the family.

As long as one person in the family is involved in gambling, the family will definitely have a good life and will never be able to live.

"I see."

Gu Xiaoqi was silent, and Uncle Datou didn't say anything more about it.

When the ox cart arrived at Shuitang Village, Uncle Datou jumped down from the ox cart, and Gu Xiaoqi put the back on his back and jumped off the firewood.

"Uncle Big Head, thank you."

Uncle Datou looked at her back and sighed again, it was also bitter for this child.

originally thought that by selling himself, his mother and younger brother would be able to live a good life, but he didn't expect that before the silver was hot, he was defeated by Gu Dacai.

Before Gu Xiaoqi arrived at her yard, she heard the woman's scolding, and the owner of this voice was her grandmother Yang.

"You have been cut by a thousand knives, this is the silver of the young man's marriage, and you also used it to gamble."

"Do you still look like a father? In these years, someone has fallen into the water every day, how can you live well. ”

Yang is a strong and pungent character, and watching his youngest son fall willingly, he felt sad in his heart.

What makes her even more sad is still to come, this little son is getting better and better at gambling, and now his days are gone, and he wants to make a fortune every day.

"Mother, it's just two taels of silver, and my son will make a fortune in the future, and I will definitely honor you."

Gu Dacai bit the weed root in his mouth, and smiled at the Yang family, not feeling that he was wrong at all.

"I'm sorry, you can still make a fortune just like you, and you don't pee to take care of yourself, do you have this wealth? Sensei thought that he gave you the name of Dacai, so he really thought that he was destined to bring wealth. ”

When Yang heard his words, he was so angry that he picked up his broom and ran over to beat someone.
