The old cat at the door snorted heavily: "Hey, young man, how much money do you want?" Don't get a needle, take medicine, and say a sky-high price, then you won't be killed by you. We can't come up with the money. ”

"No money." Xiao Xian took out the golden needle, "The time for a few stitches is not charged." ”

I still want to say a few words, Xiao Xian's golden needle has been pierced on the eldest mother's body.

Fortunately, he didn't have a lot of clothes to wear, otherwise he would have to take off his clothes, Xiao Xian was afraid that the old cat would rush up and kill himself.

After a few stitches, Xiao Xian stuffed the recovery pill into the eldest mother's mouth: "I don't want money." ”

I was embarrassed to look at the old lady, and when I heard this, I opened my mouth and swallowed the pill.

I often stand there a little helplessly, often the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.

"Baby, what are you doing, the children have run away, you don't know how to look, you don't want to eat, do you?"

There was an angry roar outside the door, and the old cat, who had been looking at people with his eyes hanging just now, suddenly stood up straight, like a child who had done something wrong.

The old man who was at a loss for his hands and feet, clenched his fists and then released them, and hurried out.

Before she could go out, a woman rushed in, glanced at the old cat coldly, and drank coldly: "What are you doing at my house?" Want to steal? ”

"He's here to talk to me." Lao Chang hurriedly explained.

The woman's eyes widened, and she was about to speak, when she saw Xiao Xian, her eyes lit up, and she secretly said in her heart, what a handsome man.

Xiao Xian glanced at her, don't look around, the woman's face collapsed, her eyes were fierce, and she pointed at Lao Chang and shouted, "What are you bringing strangers for?" You dead old man, did you hide your private money, take it out immediately. ”

Before she could speak, the woman turned it over.

"I didn't hide any money, I just came to see my grandmother." Lao Chang was really embarrassed, and he wanted to stop her, but he couldn't do it.

The woman stopped her hand and snorted at Lao Chang: "You must not hide the money, otherwise, you will cut off your wife's food, and the family will be poor, so I am willing to marry and hold two grandchildren for three years, otherwise, your son will be a bachelor for the rest of his life." ”

Chang Chang's fists were clenched tightly, but he didn't say anything.

"I can't let you watch a child, what's the use of asking you to eat, and you don't have anything to eat......"

"Uh-uh-uh......" The lady on the bed was drooling urgently.

The woman was furious: "Dead old woman, what's wrong with me scolding him?" I'm paralyzed and still eat my rice, who is used to you? I'm kind-hearted, after you are paralyzed, I will give you a bowl of rice to eat, you look at the second child's family, the food given can be as good as my family, either bad or rough, one by one I don't know the white-eyed wolf of gratitude, I bah! ”

At this time, Xiao Xian probably understood: "They are your father-in-law and mother-in-law, that is, your husband's parents, how can you be like this......"

"Where did you come from, get out of the way, don't think that you are handsome, you can meddle in other people's affairs." The woman rolled up her sleeves, "Who doesn't treat their in-laws like this?" What man doesn't want a wife and not parents? Why should I treat them specially? ”

"Then have you ever thought that your two children will do the same to you in the future?" Xiao Xian really opened his eyes, there is still such a reasonable person.

The woman was stunned, and then scolded: "What's your business? If you are nosy, my son will not want me, and he will not let us separate...... I have something to do, go first, dead old man, don't eat. ”

The scolding woman left, Xiao Xian frowned: "How do I feel, I have entered a confused village, Uncle Chang, Uncle Cat, what is going on here?" ”

Lao Chang squatted on the ground with his head in his hands, sighing heavily, unspeakable sadness.

"What else?" The old cat sneered disdainfully, "This village used to be called Xiaozi Village, but later it was renamed Qianqian Village. It is said that once upon a time, there were two brothers, and after they split up, they took turns to support their parents, but because the burden of life was too heavy, they raised one family, so that they could not only share the burden of the family, but also have one less person to eat. ”

"But...... Ay! ”

Xiao Xian frowned, there are parents in the world, and sons are adoptive parents, which is justified, why do you still sigh when you talk about this?

The old cat said in a sad tone: "Later, everyone learned to do this, and a pair of old people raised a ...... However, slowly, the brothers began to divide up, always saying that the old man ate more in their house and did less for their family. Others said that the old man hid the money and gave it to their favorite children. Others said that they would steal from this son's house......"

Xiao Xian listened, why is this story so familiar?

"Later, when young people get married early, those of us who are parents are less than forty years old, so we will be forced to separate and go to our son's house to take care of them, one by one...... When it was their turn, the couple couldn't even see each other, and the children were still not satisfied...... What do you do when you have so many sons? Not as good as a daughter? ”

The old cat said with tears in her eyes: "At least my daughter will buy me a dress...... The other day when school started, the bulldozer hit the brute who hit the child, I just want to say, you don't think it's good to have a daughter now, and when you are old, you will understand that it is better to have a son than to have a daughter. ”

Lao Chang, who was squatting on the ground, got up: "It is said that marrying a wife is not virtuous, and it will harm three generations, which is true." Ten daughters-in-law are not as good as half a son-in-law, and ten sons are not as good as a daughter. ”

At this time, Xiao Xian finally remembered, why did he say that this matter sounded familiar, didn't the old man who gave him the dragon pill fragments and pick up the rags also say the same?

"You haven't resisted, you're all young, you can go out and walk around on your own, you can support yourself." Xiao Xian said, "Besides, after this matter is exposed, they shouldn't dare to do that." ”

"That's how everybody gets through, and if we don't, we're going to be poked in the back." Lao Chang wiped away his tears, "I still admire the old tree, and I'd rather die outside than in the village." ”

Xiao Xian frowned slightly: "The old tree you are talking about, is there a big mole here?" My wife was angry to death a few years ago, and the one with the two sons who can't pay the funeral expenses? ”

The old cat and the old man looked at him in surprise, and said in unison: "It's really an old tree, do you know him?" ”

Xiao Xian let out a long sigh and told him about his encounter with Lao Shu, and the two people who listened to it were booed.

The old cat said: "It's good that I'm still alive when I'm young." ”

Lao Chang also said: "Compared to us old guys, we have courage, courage and prospects, even if we die on the side of the road in the future, we will not look at the faces of these beasts." ”

"I want to throw up!"

A clear voice came, and Lao Chang immediately said, "I'll help you." ”

Lao Chang picked up his wife, took a spittoon, made her cough, and suddenly was shocked: "Why did you vomit blood?" ”

"Spit and spit out, anyway, it's better to be ...... if it's half dead."

Before she finished speaking, the eldest lady was suddenly stunned, looking at the same stunned old Chang in a daze, and then looking at the stunned old cat, she reached out and touched her throat.
