Chapter 88: People Lack Hearts

Mrs. Li snorted coldly: "Even if I beg for food in the future, I won't go to the door of the second child!" I gave birth to so many sons, even if the eldest is not the eldest and the third can't be counted on, isn't there still a fourth? Besides, I still have a daughter, my daughter will have a great creation in the future, marry a good family, as long as the fingers leak a little, it will be enough for my wife to enjoy! Why bother to look at the face of the second child's deflated calf? ”

"Nonsense, how can there be a pension who counts on a married daughter!" Mei Zhongzhong didn't take a breath, she choked on the smoke, and coughed non-stop.

Mrs. Li patted Mei Zhongzhong on the back and said, "Even if you don't count on the old girl, aren't there still the old family's Tianlong and Tianhu?" Our family is going to give their father a coffin, and they will dare to be filial to us in the future? ”

Mei Zhongzhong listened to this, but it was in line with his innermost thoughts, so he lowered his head and kept silent.

Or Mrs. Li asked, "Didn't you go out to find out about the Li family's land to pay off the debt, what's wrong?" ”

Mei Zhongzhong waved his hand, "I told the patriarch, and the patriarch also felt that it was okay to save the basket in the middle, but with the consent of the Li family, the Li family was in a mess, I heard that his daughter ran away overnight, Li Dagui and Li Jinlong were lying on the bed, leaving Li Dagui's mother-in-law alone, crying and scolding in the yard." I see that she even brought the patriarch of the Li family with her, offending people like this, I'm afraid that if we don't take action, this matter will be six or seven points accurate. ”

Mrs. Li relieved half of her heart, discussed with Mei Zhongzhong again, and went to the town early tomorrow morning to see Mei Xiaoque's affairs.

Mei Zhongzhong originally planned to go too, but was persuaded by Mrs. Li to come back, and asked him to keep an eye on the Li family at home, only saying that he would take his daughter to have a look, and then come back after paying for the medicine.

Mei Zhongzhong did not doubt anything else, and nodded in agreement.

When it was time for dinner, Mrs. Li said that she would go to the town with her old daughter tomorrow, and the others would just do it, and Tianbao was the first to jump out, "I will also go to the town." ”

It's only been a day since he came back, and Tianbao instinctively feels that this family is different from before, and as for how it is different, he can't say.

He also cautiously remembered that his two brothers had forgotten about eating meat at noon, and after thinking about it, he decided to go to the town to find his mother.

The Zhou family has always protected the child, and at this time, Tianbao felt that he could only feel at ease when he saw his mother.

Mrs. Li flew over with an eye knife, "Adults talk, what do children say?" I went to town with your aunt to have something to do, you are a child, not at home to help work, but bent on going out to wave? Don't look at what time it is! Don't fight pigweed? Don't let people put the cow away? Don't you sweep the ground in the yard? One by one, I raised you to be hollow-eyed, but I don't think I am the eldest young master and don't give me to work honestly at home, if anyone is cheating and cheating, don't think about eating! ”

As soon as the killer weapon was not allowed to eat, no one dared to speak, and after the leopard was pulled down by the dragon, he didn't dare to speak again. iQi Literature ~~ The fastest update

Mrs. Li rushed at this time

Wen said, "A few days ago, the family ate and drank well, but it raised people's hearts, and now the situation at home, you all know, the boss is still behind when he uses money, and the family has a thin foundation, so he can't afford to throw money so much." When you are not busy in the future, you can only boil two pots of porridge in the morning and evening, and you can get it if you don't get hungry, where is there steamed rice to eat all day long? Since tomorrow, they have been drinking porridge! ”

Wen's body stiffened, and he agreed in a low voice.

When the rest of the people heard this, especially the children, they all looked bitter.

Only drink porridge, a few bubbles of urine, the stomach will be empty, where is the steamed bun to fight hunger?

But no one dared to speak, only looked at Mei Zhongzhong.

Mei Zhongzhong nodded, as soon as the eldest fell, the crisis in the family was revealed, the second child was unreliable, the third child was not expected, and the fourth child was the fourth, and it was difficult to support it alone.

You have to live a careful life!

Eat thin when you are free, and eat dry when you are busy.

Isn't this how everyone lives in the village, and it's just that their own family has had a good life over the years, so that everyone can fill their stomachs.

Now that something has happened at home, naturally we can't be as lavish as in the past.

Therefore, he nodded, and agreed with Mrs. Li's statement.

Tianlong and Tianhu didn't dare to speak, and they covered Tianbao's mouth tightly, afraid that he would talk nonsense.

Mei Xiaotong didn't say much about Mrs. Li's decision in front of everyone, she just wanted to persuade her on the road tomorrow, after all, the old and the young, and adults in the family can't go hungry, and the family is not so difficult.

I came here to farm and get rich, so I can't do this task and make a good family who can eat enough to be full, right?

Because they had to cut back on food, everyone's mood was not high, so they silently finished their meals and went back to the house.

I don't know how many people couldn't sleep one night.

Mei Xiaotong couldn't sleep well because she had something in her heart, and she heard movement in Mrs. Li's house in a daze, so she hurriedly turned over and got up and washed up.

I checked the back basket with jade mushrooms in the corner of the wall, and saw that the jade mushrooms inside were still watery, so I was relieved.

Carrying the basket on her back, Mrs. Li was already waiting outside.

Seeing the old girl go out, she waved at her with a bowl at the door of the stove house.

Walking over, it was a big bowl of brown sugar water lying eggs, a full bowl, and there were four eggs.

Seeing Mei Xiaotong walking over, he hurriedly handed her the bowl and chopsticks, "Eat quickly!" Mother gets up early in the morning and makes it for you! Only after eating can you have the strength to hurry. ”

Mei Xiaotong took the bowl, only to feel that this bowl weighed a thousand gold, "Mother, then what do you eat?" ”

Mrs. Li waved her hand and took out the two cold buns that she had left behind last night, "I'll just eat this." ”

Where is Mei Xiaotong willing to do it, she and Mrs. Li shared a bowl of eggs, and another person shared a cold bun, and ate it with hot brown sugar water, with food in her stomach, her whole body was warm, and she also had it

Strength spirit.

Wen's last night because Mrs. Li said that she would cut back on her food, looking at the thin appearance of her children, she was so worried that she didn't sleep well in the middle of the night, and finally squinted, and when she woke up, the sky was already dark.

There was also the sound of mother-in-law and sister-in-law talking outside, and they suddenly screamed badly, and hurriedly dressed and walked out.

When she rushed out, she heard the courtyard door creak shut, and her mother-in-law and sister-in-law had already gone out.

When I rushed to the stove house, there was still the sweet smell of eggs and brown sugar water in it, and there was half a pot of sorghum ballast on the stove, which was the family's ration for the day.

Wen sighed, put the sorghum ballast in the cupboard, and began to boil water to make breakfast.

She was only busy working in the stove house, and she didn't notice that the door of the big room opened quietly, and a small black shadow slipped out of it, stuck to the root of the wall, and went to the door, carefully opened the courtyard door, and ran out......

Because it wasn't a market day, most people wouldn't go to town, so I didn't meet anyone along the way.

Taking advantage of the fact that there was no one before and after, Mei Xiaotong opened her mouth to persuade, "Mother, why do you want to reduce everyone's rations, don't talk about others, you and your father are so old, why can you still eat some porridge?" The body bones can't stand it, huh? When I sell this mushroom, I will be rich, and my money will not be my father's money? There is no reason to starve with silver in your hand, right? There are also Tianlong at home, they are all growing their bodies, how can they grow if they can't eat enough? ”

After thinking about it, I was afraid that these would not add up to the weight of myself in Mrs. Li's heart, and added, "What's more, I can't bear it if I eat two porridges a day?" ”

Mrs. Li smiled at her, "Silly girl, my mother is hungry herself, and she can't starve you!" None of this has anything to do with you, anyway, my mother won't let you go hungry! ”

Mei Xiaotong shouted to her mother in her heart, "Mother, our family is not so difficult that way, why bother?" ”

Mrs. Li sneered, "Don't care, my mother naturally has a reason to do this, and if you look at it, in a few days, you will naturally have a good show." ”

It seems that this is a self-determined calculation in the heart, and it is deliberately done.

Mei Xiaotong didn't want to ask again, but looking at what Mrs. Li meant, this matter of reducing rations would not last long, so she put her mind at ease.

In addition, I didn't go far, but I met someone from the next village who went to the town and gathered together, so I didn't want to say anything, so I had to keep my mouth shut.

The person in Yang's shop next door happened to be one of the big men who sent Mei Xiaoque to the town a few days ago, and he still remembered Mei Xiaotong's appearance, but in the countryside now, there are very few girls who are so rich, and they still remember it after taking a look.

The man stepped forward and greeted heartily, "Aunt Mei, sister, are you going to see Brother Xiaoque in the town?" Has his injury healed? ”

Mei Xiaotong also remembered that this man had helped that day, and first thanked him sincerely, and then replied, "My eldest brother is blessed by God, and he met Dr. Ma's superb medical skills, so he saved his life." Now our family doesn't ask for goodbye

I just hope he wakes up, it's a blessing! Thank you for your help the day before yesterday, our family should have come to thank you, but these days have been messy, but it was a snub to everyone, and when my family's affairs are sorted out these days, I will come to thank you big brothers! Please forgive me, big brother! ”

After a while, the man who said it couldn't help but glance at Mei Xiaotong a few more times.

The previous reputation of this Mei family Erni is not only known to everyone in Lingshan Village, but also to several nearby villages.

It's just that Mei Xiaotong didn't like to go out before, and everyone hadn't seen it with their own eyes.

Last time, Mei Xiaotong was not chaotic, and she spoke so politely and thoughtfully today, where is there half a rumor, oh, one thing is not wrong, that is, the figure is indeed fat, but it is not as terrible as the rumors say, obviously she is a rich and pampered girl.

I don't know where this girl offended people, provoked those long-tongued and mouthy women, and actually ruined a girl's reputation like this.

Thinking about it like this, the man looked at Mei Xiaotong with a little more sympathy.

Mrs. Li looked at this man from the side, why did she glance at her daughter? Of course, my own daughters are liked, and I can't help but take a look at them, and I only have the smug share of being a mother.

But his daughter, who is a person with great creation, is a lucky star, where can she be casually matched to a country man.

Thinking like this, Mrs. Li pulled her daughter behind her and quietly began to talk to the country man.

Along the way, Mei Xiaotong didn't get a chance to speak, so she had to follow silently, listening to Mrs. Li coax the man to explain even the eight generations of his ancestors.

Because of such interrogation and inquiry on the way, I arrived in the town before I knew it.

The man came all the way, and was coaxed by Mrs. Li to almost recognize his relatives, and he was going to break up at the moment, and he said to Mrs. Li heartily, "Auntie, if you have nothing to do in the future, you will go to our Yang's shop for a walk, and if there is something at home, say hello to me, nothing else, there are still two handfuls of strength!" ”

Mrs. Li nodded with a smile, said goodbye to the man, and not long after she walked out, she muttered, "This kid is very grinning, and I have two sentences to confide in what the ancestors, the eight generations, the seven aunts and the eight aunts are doing, there is no door on the mouth, like your fourth brother, he is a little lacking in heart." ”

Mei Xiaotong couldn't cry or laugh, people lacked hearts, and you chatted with others all the way.
