Chapter 5 The Widow of Dong
Father Shen had no choice, and finally nodded, this can be regarded as a hope, if the young master of that family can't die, then his daughter can be regarded as having a way to live, it is better than following himself to starve to death and freeze to death.
When Fu'an came, he also inquired, this Shen family is a responsible family, and he asked Shen Xiaoyu's birthday again, and he will be able to pay the difference when he goes back.
"Well, I'm going back to my life, and you father and daughter are waiting for good news." Fu'an said, what to say when he went back, he also knew in his heart.
Soon, the news that the Shen family was going to send their daughter to Chongxi spread throughout Sihe Village, although the families did not say it on the surface, but behind the scenes, they still had to say that Father Shen "sold his daughter for glory".
Father Shen was reluctant to go out at home, and Shen Xiaoyu didn't dare to talk much, for fear of making his father angry.
The Qin family on the other end was peaceful, Qin Zheng listened to Fu'an's words, and he also counted it in his heart, let him prepare everything and money here, and go to Qian Yuemei to talk to the other end.
"Now that the person has been decided, do you want to take it back directly or what?" Qin Zheng asked.
Qian Yuemei shook her head: "People are not in a hurry to take it back, the child's illness is not cured yet, just get it when you can use it, so as not to disturb the tranquility." ”
Qin Zheng heard it: "Then ...... this thing and money?" ”
"The things and money are given to the family first, and people are not in a hurry to get them back, that girl is a filial daughter, so it's good to let their father and daughter stay for a while." Qian Yuemei insisted that she couldn't let people come over first, and she would take it over and keep it in their hospital, after a long time, she would always notice something, after all, she was young, what if she didn't have a doorkeeper on her mouth? Wait until it's bigger, and then get it back.
Qin Zheng didn't object, as long as Qian Yuemei was satisfied, the days in this backyard would be easier.
When the Qin family's things were sent over, the whole village came to watch, and a cart of rice was delivered to the Shen family, and there were a lot of big bags and small bags.
Father Shen looked depressed, but when he heard that the Qin family was not in a hurry to pick people up, he finally felt a little better.
Shen Xiaoyu looked at the cart of rice, as well as the chickens, ducks and fish in the cage behind, and his little face turned red with excitement.
Fu'an took the deed with his handprint and left, the Shen family didn't know the words, but Fu'an read all the words on the contract, which really had the words "death and life don't ask". 1
Shen Xiaoyu doesn't care, love is not dead, as soon as the person leaves, she will directly burn the stove, let Daddy Shen pick up the chicken, and she will go to wash rice and steam rice.
Other families smelled the fragrance wafting from the Shen family's courtyard, and they were all sour, and some of them were cautious, and they had to scold the Shen family for selling their daughters for glory.
In the evening, the father and daughter of the Shen family looked at the white rice and a pot of chicken on the table, and stopped moving their chopsticks for a while.
Father Shen has no face to eat, these are all exchanged for his daughter, and he can't open his mouth.
Shen Xiaoyu was thinking about how many meals she could eat at home, in case the sick young master of the Qin family hiccups tomorrow, will she not have to eat in the future?
"Dad, let's eat." Shen Xiaoyu said that she was eating one less meal.
Daddy Shen's eyes were red, and the days when he ate with his daughter were also one day less.
Shen Xiaoyu put a chicken leg in Daddy Shen's bowl with chopsticks and said, "Eat." "Then I made a chicken leg myself.
Eat, life still has to be lived!
Daddy Shen picked up the chicken with chopsticks and put it in his mouth, but big tears fell.
Shen Xiaoyu saw his father crying here, and he also shed tears, and the two of them just cried and ate meat.
After the Qin family had done everything well, Qian Yuemei told Qin Huaijin that she had a daughter-in-law for him.
"Mother, I'm still so young, what kind of daughter-in-law are you talking about?" Qin Huaijin is not a fool, he also knew about the "Chongxi" at home a few days ago, and he didn't want to die, so he somehow got a daughter-in-law, or the "village girl" in the village, he was awkward in his heart.
Qian Yuemei shook her head: "You don't understand, most of the people in this house have been bought by Wang Xiuyan's vixen, and there must always be someone around you who can use it with confidence in the future, my mother is really not at ease, so I thought of such a way!" Anyway, it's just a waiter, and if you like a young lady in the future, my mother can tell you. ”
Qin Huaijin sighed, saying that he was marrying a daughter-in-law, but it was nothing more than getting a subordinate.
As soon as Qian Yuemei left, Qin Huaijin went to find Fu'an.
Fu'an's impression of his second young master is that he is a "glass man", he will be broken when he falls, and his time in the house is not short, but the face of the second young master is rare, every time he mentions it, he basically says that the second young master is sick.
"What's the matter with the second young master looking for the little one?" Fu'an said respectfully, for fear that a bad service would make the second young master angry, and if he was panting or something, he would not be able to afford it.
Qin Huaijin pretended to be weak and asked, "My mother said that I said a daughter-in-law, where is it?" What does it look like? ”
When Fu'an heard this, he smiled: "Hey, this person looks okay, but he is just a country girl, very vulgar, and he is definitely not as good as the maids in our house." ”
Qin Huaijin looked left and right, and said, "I'm going to take a look." ”
Fu'an hurriedly waved his hand: "This can't be helped, the second young master, you are weak, you have to go out for a trip, it is estimated that the lady will cramp and peel the skin of the villain when she comes back, and the little one will not dare!" ”
Qin Huaijin saw Fu'an say this, so he directly covered his head, leaned on Fu'an, and said, "If you don't take me there, I'll tell my mother, just say you're angry with me!" ”
Fu'an: "......" He was very speechless, and he didn't deal much with this second young master on weekdays, why did this second young master cheat today? If Mrs. knew this, he really couldn't eat and walk around!
"Young master, young master, if you want to see it, the little one will run and bring people to the house, can you see it as much as you want? Why do you have to go so far to the backwoods to suffer? ”
Qin Huaijin felt more troublesome, so he leaned on Fu'an: "I have a headache!" ”
Fu'an also had no choice, and finally said: "You have to get it, my second young master, isn't it okay for the little one to take it, the little one will go out to buy it tomorrow, and it will be tomorrow if you want to go!" ”
When Qin Huaijin heard this, he stood up straight and said, "If you dare to lie to me, you will suffer!" After that, he left first.
Fu'an: "This ...... What a deal! "Why didn't he see that this second young master was sick?
…………
The weather is getting colder and colder, and because he has money, Shen Xiaoyu asked Daddy Shen to buy better wood to make the roof well.
"Let's save some money." Father Shen said.
Shen Xiaoyu smiled and said, "It's enough." ”
Father Shen sighed: "I don't know when this money will be used." ”
"It's enough for two or three years, and when the spring hits next year, we will plant the land, and when things grow in the field, we will be able to maintain it in the future." Shen Xiaoyu said.
Father Shen said: "Why do you say you have such a big heart, why don't you worry at all?" "Aren't you really afraid of death?
Shen Xiaoyu laughed twice: "Sooner or later, I will die, and now my life is very good." After speaking, he said to Father Shen: "I want to take a bag of rice to Dong's house in a while." ”
"Huh? Shang Dong's widow's house? What are you going to do? Father Shen asked.
Shen Xiaoyu said: "I want you to marry Widow Dong." ”
Father Shen was stunned for a moment, and then said, "What are you talking about?" Let me marry a widow of Dong? ”
Shen Xiaoyu nodded: "I have to ...... sooner or later, it's good to have someone to take care of you, I think Widow Dong is very good, her mother didn't help our family when she was sick, she doesn't have children yet, her uncle and in-laws are not good to her, let's take a bag of rice, the Dong family will definitely be happy to let her remarry!" ”
"This is done, your mother has been dead for less than half a year!" Father Shen said, and even if he exchanges his daughter for food, he will use the exchanged grain to marry his daughter-in-law, so is he still human?
Shen Xiaoyu said: "My mother told me that after she dies, if she can have extra money, she will marry you and have a son!" ”
"No way!" Father Shen definitely refused.
Shen Xiaoyu took a sip of water and said, "Dad, listen to me, and listen to my mother." ”
At the mention of his deceased wife, Father Shen's heart was sour again, he had been stubborn for half his life, but his husband did not do a good job, and his father did not do a good job, he was too guilty.
"Dad doesn't want to be sorry for your mother......" Daddy Shen said, especially in exchange for his daughter's life-selling money.
Shen Xiaoyu put down the water bowl, didn't listen to Daddy Shen, and went out with a bag of rice.
A bag of rice can have more than 30 catties, which is not a big bag, and it is a bit difficult for a ten-year-old child to carry, but at this juncture, these 30 catties of rice are very easy to use.
The Dong family is also a big family, the Dong widow lost her husband at an early age, and she did not leave any children, and the Dong family's in-laws saw that the Dong widow was working quite well, so they stayed and did not send it back to her parents' house.
In the past few days, the uncle of the Dong family has discussed with his in-laws, or he will send people back, and now he also has children at home, and the food is really not enough to eat.
When Shen Xiaoyu came to Dong's house, Zhou Jinhua, the eldest aunt of the Dong family, never left the bag of rice she was carrying on her back.
"The little fish is here, huh? Have you eaten it? Zhou Jinhua was polite.
"I've eaten it." Shen Xiaoyu put down the rice on her shoulder, she also knew that Zhou Jinhua was saying polite words, so she really said that she hadn't eaten it, and Zhou Jinhua wouldn't bring her any cakes and rice porridge.
The Zhou family called the mother-in-law Liu to come out, and also stared at the bag of rice, so she asked, "Xiaoyu, what do you want to ......?" ”
Shen Xiaoyu said, "Is the second aunt here?" ”
As soon as Zhou Jinhua heard that she was looking for her brother and daughter-in-law, she shouted, and then a little woman came out of the house.
Widow Dong is just called so by the people in the village, her original name is Cui Fenglan, she looks good, her little face is white and clean, and she works neatly, after Dong Lao Er died, the in-laws of the Dong family looked at the two daughters-in-law unpleasantly, and always felt that the second daughter-in-law gave Fang Ke, and did not write a letter to release his wife, so he let the young woman be widowed, and she was also a thief all day long, for fear that this daughter-in-law would steal the man. Zhao Yulan had just died, and Widow Dong saw Shen Xiaoyu cooking and burned her hands, so she came over to help paste a pot of cakes, but when she went back, she was beaten by the old woman, and Shen Xiaoyu still remembered!
"The little fish is here." Cui Fenglan greeted, and her eyes also saw the bag of rice.
Shen Xiaoyu smiled, and then said, "I'm here today, and I also have something to discuss with our grandmother and aunts." ”
When Liu heard this, he asked, "What's the matter?" "I still have that rice in my heart.
Shen Xiaoyu said: "I want to exchange a bag of rice for my second aunt and be my stepmother!" ”
