"And then?" Da Yin and Sister Qiu listened attentively, and Da Yin, who was leaning in Lin Laosuo's arms, couldn't help but ask.

Lin Laosu continued: "Later...... Later, Sister Qiu and her grandmother couldn't stand it, and they always made trouble like this, and the family was not at peace, and all the relatives became enemies, so they agreed to split up and built a new house next door to our house, and our two families became neighbors. Sister Qiu's grandmother is strict with her father, and she doesn't want Sister Qiu and her father to go back to see her father and mother, and she doesn't send delicious food to the old ones. The Mei family's old mansion is in the west of the village, and it has not been inhabited for decades, and the house is afraid that it will not be able to do so for a long time. ”

"That's how bad it is!" Although he is not yet 10 years old, he already understands the difference between right and wrong, although the requirements of the Zhuang family for good wives and mothers are different from those of rich and noble families, but at least one thing is the same, that is, to be filial, to respect and love his parents, Mao's behavior is obviously not related to filial piety.

Sister Qiu crooked her mouth, Mao's own is not filial, but she always uses "filial piety" to subdue her daughter-in-law and granddaughter, she is very selfish, the children and grandchildren of the Mei family, except for her old father who is the best phoenix man, all of them are the true inheritance of Mao's selfishness.

"In the future, when I marry a daughter-in-law, I will definitely not be able to marry like this! I want to marry someone who is good to my father and my mother, and I want to be good to my father and my brother! Da Yin was angry, clenched his little fists and said loudly, full of concentration.

Sister Qiu, who was just thinking about her own future and fate, couldn't hold back, laughed out loud, stretched out her palm and touched Da Yin's head, a little tender baby who is only more than 9 years old, do you know what it means to marry a daughter-in-law?

Lin Laosu also amused his little grandson, and sat on his lap with Da Yin in his arms, and praised: "Da Yin is a smart one! ”

Due to the amusement of the big seal, Lin Zhun's originally gloomy heart was also a little lighter, sat down in front of Sister Qiu, touched Sister Qiu's head, and said with a smile: "Sister Qiu, don't be afraid, we all want to think about it, and we won't ask Mei Milk to sell you." You really can't ......" Lin Zhun made up his mind, and just as he was about to speak, he looked at Aunt Chunhua, Jia Shi and Lin Cheng came in.

Seeing the expressions of the adults, it was not easy to see, and it was obvious that they had not discussed any good way.

Chenglin was indeed there, Sister Qiu stood up from the pestle and asked clearly: "Uncle Lin, I want to ask your opinion with Lin Ye, if my mother and I are willing to carry the debt owed to my father for the aftermath of the funeral, I don't ask my grandmother for anything, so I will be separated from the Mei family and leave the house with the debt, can my grandmother be happy?" ”

Lin Cheng groaned, shook his head, and said, "This ...... I'm afraid not. ”

Aunt Chunhua is a straight-tempered child, and said straight at the moment: "Not necessarily, your milk is definitely not happy." Who else in your family can live except your mother? Your mother is gone, who else can she hope for? Looking forward to your second aunt? Laughing to death, that person is very expensive, the oil bottle is poured and she doesn't help it, and she thinks the bottle is dirty in her palm! Your are not happy. ”

The Jiang family's foreign debts are more than enough to sell Sister Qiu to repay the debts.

"I want to sell Sister Qiu for money again, and I want to work for Mrs. Xiucai for her, my heart is really ruthless!" Lin Laosu sighed.

A few people discussed for a while, but they didn't have a perfect idea, the foreign debt of more than four taels of silver was not a small amount, and the Jiang family did not have to be able to take it out easily. What's more, even if the foreign debts are paid off, the Mao family still has to think of pooling money to study for Meiqu, and I am afraid that I will still have to fight Sister Qiu's idea at that time.

Seeing that when it was time to cook dinner, the Jia family couldn't stay at the Jiang family anymore, so he took Sister Qiu to say goodbye. Before leaving, Aunt Chunhua told Jia's family, "Airong, pay attention when you go back, don't tell Sister Qiu to see what her milk has found." "In case Sister Qiu knows her grandmother, she has to sell Sister Qiu in advance, and with the second family of the Mei family as accomplices, they are really helpless.

Jia Shi nodded hurriedly, soaked the silk handkerchief with the newly raised cool deep well water, wiped his eyes, calmed the surging emotions in his heart, and then dragged Sister Qiu away.

When he went out, Dayin came running again, picked up Sister Qiu and Jia's family, pulled Jia's shirt and whispered: "Uncle mother, I forgot to talk about it just now, don't pay attention to Mei Yindi backwards!" She's so bad, Sister Qiu's thing is what she told Uncle Mei, she is not a good person! ”

Jia Shi froze, and sighed for a long time, "That kid is only 13 years old...... "It must have been taught by Mei Yindi's father and mother.

Aunt Chunhua, who followed the big seal, Leng Heng, said, "The upper beam is not right, the lower beam is crooked!" "Dragons give birth to dragons and phoenixes, the son of a mouse can make holes, the two adults of the Mei family are not good goods, where can the raised daughter be good? This kind of scheming Nizi still wants to be her eldest daughter-in-law? Bah, bah, I don't want to give them all for nothing, the Jiang family doesn't want them, even my own cousins can be calculated, they all have to be sold, they are so ruthless and rape at a young age, and they will pay it back when they grow up?

"Don't worry, Sister Qiu, I'll help you get angry!" Da Yin patted his chest like a little adult and assured Sister Qiu.

It rained again, and Dazhun found a hat for Jia's family, put a piece of oilcloth on his own, propped it on the top of his and Sister Qiu's hair, and sent Jia and Sister Qiu back to Mei's house.

Sister Qiu's heart is also messy, she is a little dazed, she can't go anywhere, the "filial piety" of feudal society is like a mountain pressing on her and Jia's heads, Mao's wants to sell her, even if Jia's can fight once or twice, how many times can she fight? At that time, the second eldest family of the Mei family tied up the Jia family and pulled her out and sold her, and there was really no way at all.

Even if she can make money, Mao's goal is to provide for Meiqu and her two grandchildren, as long as she breaks away from the Mei family, she and Jia's will always be Mao's free coolies to supply Meiqu and Da Niu Erniu. The difference is only that Jia has the ability to work and stays in the Mei family to provide for the Mei family, but she has no ability to work and sells herself to provide for the Mei family.

When cooking, the two of them all had heavy thoughts, Jia's spirit was a little trance-like, his arms and legs were not as sharp as usual, and he was caught by Mao, and he scolded harshly, Jia's was obedient again, and then took filial piety as the sky, and at this moment faced with the crisis of selling her only children, no matter how ugly Mao's scolding was, he couldn't make Jia's embarrassment and pain.

Dinner is naturally not as rich as lunch, the oil for cooking vegetables has also been replaced with rapeseed oil, and there is no meat in the small rice stove for Meiqu, Meiqu frowned and looked at the fried mushrooms in front of him with disgust, and he couldn't get the wooden chopsticks.

The mushrooms were fried by Mao's cooking, and the freshly fried grass lard was used at noon, and the best looking mushrooms were selected by Sister Qiu and Yindi in the morning.

Seeing that his son couldn't eat, Mao's heart was a little sour, his son was at a critical juncture in his studies, there was no money at home, he wanted his son to be distracted, and he couldn't get delicious food for his son, so he really wronged his son. "Eat a little, save in the middle of the night and wake up hungry." Mao put a wooden chopsticks and mushrooms in the Meiqu bowl, and Ci Wei preached.

Aunt Mei put down the wooden chopsticks on the coarse porcelain bowl fiercely, made a loud sound, pouted and muttered softly: "We are all cheap embryos, and all the things in our mouths that we can't eat are not willing to be eaten by others!" ”

Mao's ears were pointed, and he immediately stared at Aunt Mei and said, "What are you babbling?" Speak loud and let me hear it! ”

"Nothing." Aunt Mei was angry in her heart, but she didn't dare to say it in front of Mao's family, and it took a long time to reply hard, and immediately bowed her head and ate thin rice porridge, not daring to say anything more.

If it weren't for Aunt Mei'er holding her stomach, if it weren't for Mei Qu also being present, Mao would never let Aunt Mei go so simply, seeing that Aunt Mei was soft, Mao was relieved and continued to eat.

Jia Shi sighed slightly, and touched Sister Qiu's weak back on her side, her milk was really eccentric, and she didn't look like an old man, and the second family was not convinced. Aside from the others, some delicious things are all eaten by children, put aside the old Mei family, all the good things are left to Meiqu, if Meiqu doesn't eat, it will be left to the big cow and the second cow, as for Sister Qiu and Yindi, all the good ones are not the share of the two girls.

This little episode that happened on the table did not affect Mei Qu, so he ate two millet pancakes and a bowl of thin rice porridge with the mushrooms fried in grass lard, and as for the pickles on the table for other people to eat, he didn't even look at them. As for the big cow and er cow sitting next to him and drooling at the food in front of him, he didn't even look at it.

In Sister Qiu's opinion, Mei Qu, who has always been picky and dissatisfied, is not dissatisfied with dinner, that is because he is going to leave early tomorrow morning, and dinner is okay, as for the dissatisfaction of the second family of the Mei family, if he doesn't know, or if he doesn't pretend to know, he is a scholar, and naturally he is the most noble person in the Mei family, and he deserves the best treatment, this is already an axiom existence, what right does a bun of dirt buns have to be dissatisfied?

After cleaning the dishes, Sister Qiu saw that Jia's clothes were still wet, and urged Jia's to hurriedly take off her clothes and lie on the kang, and she went to boil the hot water that the family needed at night.

As soon as Sister Qiu carried two buckets of water into the small kitchen and poured them into the pot, she listened to the impatient sound of Mei Qu by the door of the hall, "Is the water boiling?" ”

"Uncle, I've just finished picking it up, and the water will be boiled in a moment." Sister Qiu responded in a good voice, not that she wanted to stammering Meiqu, but that there was Mao standing next to Meiqu, if her tone was not respectful enough, Mao could immediately scold her.

As soon as the sound fell, Mei Qu opened the gauze curtain and came out, standing by the door of the rice stove house with her back hand, Sister Qiu turned her face and looked at Mei Qu in surprise, and listened to him muttering dissatisfiedly: "Use the rice pot to boil water, it doesn't taste like death!" ”

Sister Qiu only felt that the three thunderbolts in front of her face were split, and she was really speechless to Mei Qu, this delicate Uncle Mei should not be entrusted to the crop household, where is the farmer not using a big pot to boil water? He still doesn't like the smell of water......

"Boil some more water, I'm going to bathe at night." Uncle Mei asked.

After staying in the crop household for a long time, Sister Qiu didn't react for a while, "What Muhe fish?" ”

Uncle Mei had a contemptuous and helpless expression, glanced at Sister Qiu, and said, "It's a bath!" I don't even understand that, Hyung! ”

Okay, you are a high-level person, Sister Qiu lowered her head and walked out of the door of the small kitchen, and brought two buckets of water over, but she couldn't hold back the corners of her mouth that rose due to ridicule.

After the water was boiled, Sister Qiu first carried two buckets to the hall, and then rushed to the east house where she lived with Jia before Mei Yindi came to pick up the water, and asked Jia to wipe her body with hot water. If Mei Yindi went to carry the water first, at most she would give the two of them a scoop of water at the bottom of the pot.

At night, Sister Qiu listened to Jia's sigh, pulled Jia's arm and whispered: "Mother, don't worry, it's really not okay, you take me to run, run away, and never come back." ”

Jia Shi smiled reluctantly, "Stupid boy, we are the people of Xiaohe Town, the roots are here, leave here, let's go outside, we don't even know anyone, it's difficult for outsiders to gain a foothold......"

The ancients relocated to the land, if they didn't have to go out to beg for food, they would never leave their hometown under the same situation, and the farthest place Jia had been to was Jiujiang Town, in Jia's view, the two orphans and widows who had no ability to make a living were separated from the family and couldn't live at all.

Sister Qiu was silent for a moment, what Jia said was also the truth, the two of them had no relatives and friends in the field, so they did not settle down, the ancients' concept of the realm was much stronger than that of the 21st century, but I am afraid that it will be very difficult for the two to gain a foothold.

"Mother, let's plan early." Sister Qiu said softly, "I really can't, so I can only run." We have arms and legs, we just need to find a place to settle down, and we can live. ”

This is a method that can't be used, Sister Qiu doesn't know much about this era, and it seems to be dangerous and ruthless to run out, but it is the daughter-in-law of the Lu Ya dealer that she remembers is similar to the Lu Ya dealer, and she is also a human trader, but the husband and wife have different areas of labor, Lu Ya dealer runs in several villages where they are, and his daughter-in-law runs in other villages.

Since a woman can run to the village to be a human trafficker, then presumably the security will not be too bad, Sister Qiu thought for a long time, in the end, this body is only a 10-year-old child, tired for another day, unable to withstand the tiredness, sleepy eyelids, and gradually fell asleep.

Before falling asleep, in a daze, Sister Qiu still listened to the sound of Jia's tossing and sighing.

Sister Qiu and Jia's sleep restlessly, and no one in the Jiang family slept well, Aunt Chunhua was very angry, ignored him all night, and turned her back on him when she slept, Lin was really helpless, and whispered to Aunt Chunhua: "I have lost a few with you, no matter how angry it is, it will be gone." ”

Aunt Chunhua wiped her tears angrily, "How can I dissipate my anger?" You told Ai Rong like that, and you didn't save any face, I didn't have the face to see her! ”

"Listen to me, I'm doing this for the good of the children." Lin did preach helplessly, stretching out his palm to wipe the tears of Chunhua.

Aunt Chunhua slapped off his palm, and said angrily: "It's a good story, except for the poor family and the same milk and uncle, what's wrong with Sister Qiu?" Don't you hate people for being poor? Not worthy of the son of your old Jiang family. ”

"Am I the normal man?" Lin was a little angry, and couldn't help but raise his voice.
