Chapter 2 Riveting Exploitation
Since they want to split the family, the big house and the third room have worked hard to exploit the income of the second room, if it weren't for Qian Qianqian's arguments, I'm afraid that they would almost have to leave the house.
"The five acres of land on the beams of the West Mountain, as well as the three thatched houses behind the West Courtyard, are all yours." Uncle finally patted the case and said: "Qianqian, the world is not good now, everyone is having a hard time, if it weren't for your father's sake, the land of Xishan Liangzi should not have been given to you." ”
Qian Qianqian sneered in her heart: three thatched huts are a family of five huddled together, and this family can do this kind of thing; The five acres of land on the Liangzi of Xishan are the land with the worst harvest of the Qian family, which was originally intended to be used to build a house, but now it is used to send a second house......
However, in order to divide the family, she could only agree for the time being, "Grandpa, my mother is about to give birth, and the family can't do without a little cash turnover, and it will be spring planting soon, and we don't have seeds, even if we have land, there is nothing to do......"
She knew that the big room and the third room were eyeing each other, and the old lady would not look at herself, so she could only beg the old man, "When my father was here, he was thinking about feeding the chickens, ducks and piglets at home every day, and now that he is gone, he should leave a thought for our mother and raise some chickens and ducks." ”
The old lady disagreed: "What are you kidding? There are not many livestock in the family, and they have to be distributed to you, so what should we do with our family? ”
The eldest aunt and the third aunt also mixed in: "Qianqian, the house and land have been given to you, and you want money and livestock to raise, so you don't understand what you say." ”
Qian Qianqian ignored them, and looked at the old man with teary eyes, "Grandpa, even if it's for my father's sake, you can't watch the child in my mother's womb ...... before it is born."
As she spoke, she choked and lowered her head, and the two little girls next to her also cried.
The people in the room were indifferent, and the old man sighed after a while, "The family is also difficult, you insist on separating the family, no wonder I am inconsiderate." ”
Qian Qianqian's heart sank, and she was about to refute, when she heard him say: "But the second daughter-in-law still has an unborn one in her belly, we can't be too harsh, boss, give them five ducklings in the yard, and take one or two silver, and some seeds......"
The two daughters-in-law hurriedly gave the old lady a look, and the old lady was anxious, "Old man! ”
"The one in the belly is also your grandson." The old man glanced at everyone and got up, "The second child is still watching from below, so let's take care of it." ”
Although everyone was unwilling, the old man, as the head of the family, spoke, and no one dared to speak back, so they could only watch Qian Qianqian take away the silver house deed.
The eldest aunt stared at Qian Qianqian's back as she left: "This fool is not stupid, but he is a difficult one!" ”
Two days later.
Qian Qianqian moved to a thatched house with her family, one was divided into a kitchen, and the other two larger ones were used as bedrooms, and a large bed was set up with wooden boards in the room, so that Qian's mother could sleep with her little brother; There was a small bed on the opposite side, and another younger brother Shui, and she took her two younger sisters to sleep in another room.
There was no food at home, so Qian Qianqian had to find food by herself. She got up early in the morning and told Qian Fen: "Fenfen, my sister went up the mountain to find food, you take care of your younger brothers and sisters at home, and my sister came back at noon to cook." ”
Since Qian Fen was rescued by Qian Qianqian that day, she admired this sister very much, "Sister, don't worry, I will take care of them." ”
Qian Qianqian said hello to Qian's mother again, and then went up the mountain with the basket on her back, and met her next-door neighbor Liu on the way, and hurriedly greeted: "Hello Aunt Liu." ”
"Alright, Qianqian, you have to go up the mountain to dig weeds again?" After the Liu family moved to this thatched house from Qian Qianqian's family, they took good care of the orphans and widows of this family, "Your mother's body is heavy, and it is difficult for you to take care of this big family." ”
Qian Qianqian said with a smile: "Thanks to your help, Aunt Liu, I won't have an hour to go up the mountain, Aunt Liu is free, it's better to chat with my mother, so as not to let her think wildly." ”
Daddy died, the second room was divided again, and Mother Qian now has no backbone, and she washes her face with tears every day, she is worried, but she can't do anything.
Aunt Liu hurriedly said: "Don't worry, I'll go talk to her later." ”
Qian Qianqian went up the mountain with confidence, she grew up with her grandfather in her previous life, and knew some pharmacology, so she also collected some herbs, thinking that when the time comes, she may be able to exchange money for drying them.
After picking some wild fruits and vegetables, Qian Qianqian pondered the time and went home, but saw the third sister Qian Xuan running over from a distance, crying: "Sister, mother...... Mother is going to give birth to a younger brother! ”
"What?" Qian Qianqian hurriedly pulled her back and ran back, only to see Qian Fen and her younger brother guarding outside, looking anxious. And in the house, Qian's mother's wail was louder than ever.
"Isn't it two months before I was born?" Qian Qianqian ran into the house and said, "Go to the old house and find someone to come and help." ”
Qian Fen cried and shook his head: "I went, no one ...... Nobody wants to come......"
Qian Qianqian's heart sank, and she only heard Aunt Liu shouting: "Where's the hot water?" Come on. ”
"Here, mother, the hot water is ready."
Qian Qianqian looked up and saw Aunt Liu's son Liu Han rushing over from the kitchen with a bucket of hot water, and when she saw her standing at the door, she was stunned for a moment, "Qianqian, give it, quickly send the water in." ”
Qian Qianqian hurriedly took the bucket and struggled to carry it. Liu Han wanted to help, but when he heard Qian's mother's wail, he stopped again, and could only whisper to comfort a few small ones.
Qian Qianqian entered the house, carried the hot water to the bed, looked at the bloody scene on the bed, and almost fainted.
It is said that a woman's childbirth is to go around in a circle in the ghost gate, even in the modern era with advanced medical technology, many people still die of dystocia every year.
It is enough to see the danger of a woman's birth.
Aunt Liu knew that she was young, so she hurriedly instructed: "You go and cheer up your mother, I have the rest, don't panic, child." ”
Qian Qianqian was sweating profusely, holding her mother's hand to cheer her up, and when the spring was cold, her back was actually drenched with sweat.
After more than three hours of hard work, it was dark outside, and a loud baby cry pierced the sky.
Aunt Liu was pleasantly surprised: "Congratulations, it's a fat boy, listening to this cry, he will be a promising person in the future." ”
Qian Qianqian knelt beside the bed in collapse, "Mother, thank you for your hard work." ”
Mother Qian looked at her son and cried with joy, "Okay...... Daddy, I'm worthy of you. ”
In the middle of the night, she held Qian Qianqian's hand, "Over there in the old mansion...... Didn't anyone come? ”
Qian Qianqian knew that she was cold, smiled and held her hand, and hugged her younger brother over, "Mother, our family will definitely be fine." ”
