Chapter 22 Emergency
Shen Xiaoyu's words were like a cannon, and the onlookers who were eating melons were dumbfounded, and they were all surprised that the Dong family was so ruthless that they wanted to sell their widowed daughter-in-law to the kiln? Who would dare to set up a chastity archway in the future?
Zhou Jinhua hurriedly argued: "Don't talk nonsense, when did you say that you were going to sell the kiln!" ”
"I'm not talking nonsense, your old lady said! And your family has collected food, and you agree that my aunt will always be separated, and now you are still forcing my family to borrow money, is there such a thing as you?! I'm embarrassed to mention the past, ah, if you don't borrow money, you forget your roots? And get so many people to come to see our jokes? I'll tell you today, if you want to laugh at your family, what's wrong with my father's widower marrying a widow? Who's in the way! My family has no money, and I don't borrow it! Don't inquire, whoever in this village can pull out a big son from my Shen Xiaoyu's palm, then I will kneel down and kowtow to him! Shen Xiaoyu said that the final purpose is also clear, she is an iron rooster, and it is absolutely impossible to pluck her hair from her!
The old lady of the Dong family, Liu, was panting with anger, and Shen Xiaoyu saw that the situation was not good, so she hurriedly said: "Okay, it's all scattered, hurry home at noon to eat and coax the children!" After speaking, he hurriedly pulled Daddy Shen and Cui Fenglan to run home, who knows if Mrs. Dong is going to cheat on her?!
The three members of the Shen family ran fast, and the Liu family scolded: "It's really unconscionable, our Dong family will raise her for a few years!" ”
Zhou Jinhua also scolded: "What a bitch and ruthless!" "It's hard to hear.
When the villagers next to them heard this, they were all disgusted with this Dong family, when they used Cui Fenglan as cattle and horses, they used people as cattle and horses, and now they are scolding people like this, the virtue of this Dong family is really not authentic!
"Tsk, I don't know if you really think your Dong family is so charitable! Who in the village doesn't know what your idea is! Sister Fenglan's days as cattle and horses for your family are not short, if it weren't for the exchange of people for food, you would be willing to let people go?! Sun Cui, who watched the excitement for a long time next to the conversation, usually has no shortage of fights, and the "yaksha" that the whole village is afraid of scolds the invincible opponents all over the village, but he doesn't say half a dirty word to the Shen family, and the old folks are also very curious!
After Sun Cui finished teasing and turned her head away, Guan Er's sister-in-law muttered: "It's not easy for Sun Cui to be able to say a human word in his mouth." ”
The farce was over, and the villagers didn't understand the Dong family and dispersed.
When Shen Xiaoyu returned home, he complained that the old lady of the Dong family could find trouble, which made a fuss.
Cui Fenglan couldn't say a word, this matter was also caused by her, and the woman who remarried was always looked down upon.
"It's all my fault, and I let the people in the village see the joke again......" Cui Fenglan said guiltily.
Shen Xiaoyu was speechless: "Aunt, I don't like to hear this, what do you mean to blame?" The two mothers-in-law of the Dong family can blame you for their shamelessness? There are also people in the village, they will watch the excitement on their idle days, no matter what they say, what they like to say! "If you feel uncomfortable for these people, it's not worth it!
Father Shen also advised: "It's okay, let's just hide from the Dong family in the future, let's eat!" And so it was revealed.
The water that Shen Xiaoyu boiled was also boiled, Cui Fenglan took over and made cornmeal porridge, Shen Xiaoyu recorded all the money he earned today, and saved some small money in three years.
In the afternoon, Daddy Shen went to work in the field, and Shen Xiaoyu saw that Cui Fenglan was busy cutting clothes for others, so he took a crockpot and water bowl to the field to deliver water to Daddy Shen, and happened to pass by the original village chief's house halfway.
Some of the messy houses that were smashed before have been cleaned up a bit, and there should be no problem for people to live in.
When Shen Xiaoyu looked at it, the little girl who was very beautiful was also washing clothes in the yard, and when she saw Shen Xiaoyu, she also looked at Shen Xiaoyu.
Shen Xiaoyu smiled, and then looked at the girl, and smiled at herself in the end.
Shen Xiaoyu went to the field to deliver water, and then sat on the ground. Other people's land is growing well, but theirs is not growing well.
"Dad, I don't feel like I can harvest anything from growing vegetables at home." Shen Xiaoyu said.
The Shen family's land really didn't put much effort into planting, most of the energy was focused on the stalls, and it was normal for the vegetables in the field to grow badly.
"What's the best thing to plant?" Father Shen asked, except for planting crops, these people will not do anything else.
Shen Xiaoyu pondered for a while, and then said, "Dad, do we want to focus on medicinal materials?" When the time comes, sell it to a crude medicine shop, and you will always make more money than vegetables and fruits. ”
Father Shen blinked: "You can also afford to look down on your father, how can your father grow medicinal herbs?" ”
Shen Xiaoyu pinched his chin and thought about it, then said, "I want to think about it." "It's not easy to get rich.
…………
The Shen family's life continued, but because of the cloudy and heavy rain for several days, the Shen family couldn't go to the city to set up a stall for three consecutive days.
"Do you want to go to Grandpa Cui's to have a look?" Shen Xiaoyu said.
Father Shen said that he would take Cui Lao Xiucai to live in Sihe Village, but Cui Lao Xiucai was stubborn and said that he would not come to anything, and Father Shen's house was not very powerful, so he did not force it, and now Cui Lao Xiucai still lives alone.
Father Shen looked at the sky outside, so he found a coat, and found some wooden planks to carry it, in case Cui Lao Xiucai's house leaked, he would directly help repair it.
Cui Fenglan found an umbrella and said, "I'll go too." "Her father and Father Shen are always embarrassed when they meet, and she can resolve the embarrassment by following along.
The two of them told Shen Xiaoyu to go out after a few words, and Shen Xiaoyu lay on the side of the bed and looked at the bead-like raindrops outside, still holding a book in his hand, and looking at it from time to time to pass the time.
One morning, Shen Xiaoyu was very bored, and at noon she ate leftover cakes to cushion her stomach, and there was a little water at the gate, so she also wore a robe and took a hoe to dig a ditch at the door to draw the water at the gate out.
Shen Xiaoyu was digging a ditch, and someone ran over at the intersection, and when she looked up, it was the new little girl, and she looked panicked.
The little girl didn't have a coat or an umbrella, so she ran in the rain, ran past Shen Xiaoyu and then turned back, and asked, "Sister, let me ask, is there a doctor in our village?" ”
It was the first time Shen Xiaoyu had heard this girl speak, and her voice was good, but she shook her head: "There is no doctor in the village, if you get sick, you have to go to the city to ask Lang Zhong or get someone to the city's medical hall." ”
The little girl was a little anxious, and she was about to run again, but Shen Xiaoyu stopped her: "The road to the city must be flooded now, you can't go!" "The broken road in Sihe Village is broken like this.
When the girl heard this, she was even more anxious when she heard her footsteps, and she began to grin and cry when she was in a hurry.
Shen Xiaoyu looked at the little girl and said, "Don't cry first, come in with me first." So saying, he picked up his hoe and pulled the people into the courtyard first, and then went into the house to hide from the rain.
"Who in your family has something sick?" Shen Xiaoyu asked, and then saw that the little girl's body was soaked with rain, so he took a handkerchief and said, "You wipe it first, you will also get the wind and cold like this." ”
The little girl took the handkerchief but did not wipe it, and said, "My mother is sick, her whole body is hot, and she has begun to talk nonsense!" ”
As soon as Shen Xiaoyu heard that his body was hot, he said, "You wait for me." Then I went to the kitchen and rummaged through it, and finally found a paper bag.
"Here is what is left of my family last time, the people in the village will pick some medicinal herbs to make a home remedy, the treatment of wind and cold fever can work, you boil some ginger soup and pour it down, sweating should be good." Shen Xiaoyu held two packets of medicinal herbs to the little girl.
The little girl looked at the herbs and was a little cramped: "I...... I don't have any money for you, and my family ......."
"You don't need money, you can use it first." Shen Xiaoyu said, since she came to their village, she can be regarded as a villager, and she will take a hand when people are in trouble and save the emergency.
The little girl took the medicine and said, "My name is Lu Butterfly, what is your name?" ”
"Shen Xiaoyu." Shen Xiaoyu said with a smile, and then took off the coat on his body: "Don't go back in the rain, just return my coat when the rain stops." ”
Lu Butterfly took the coat with a smile, and did not twist the kindness of others: "Thank you, I'll come to you when the rain stops." Then she hurried away, and there were still people in her family who were in a hurry to save their lives.
Shen Xiaoyu watched Lu Butterfly put on her coat and ran away, thinking that although this little girl was wearing coarse cloth clothes, her hands were also thin and her skin was white, no matter how she looked at it, she didn't look like a girl from a poor family, but like the eldest lady of any family.
In the afternoon, Father Shen and Cui Fenglan came back, both of them were full of sadness, Shen Xiaoyu saw the expressions of the two like this, and asked, "What's wrong?" Grandpa Cui's ......? ”
Cui Fenglan said: "My father is sick. ”
"Did you find a doctor?" Shen Xiaoyu asked with concern, although Cui Lao Xiucai has a stubborn temper, he still takes care of her, and he usually doesn't keep any books from her, people like her teacher.
Father Shen said: "I found it, saying that I had a cold, so I could only raise it slowly, and I had to have someone to take care of it these days." ”
Cui Fenglan said to Shen Xiaoyu: "I don't need to go out of the stall when it rains these days, I just want to go back and take care of it first, and when the weather is clear, you two will hold the stall first, and when my father is well, I will come back." ”
Shen Xiaoyu understood, so he said: "Okay, I know, don't worry, auntie, it should be fine if you find Langzhong, you can take care of it there for a few more days, I can take care of it at home." ”
Cui Fenglan breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, and then said, "I'll pack up and go over first." ”
Father Shen glanced at Shen Xiaoyu, Shen Xiaoyu remembered, so he went back to the house and took out two hundred yuan, and said, "Auntie, you take this money, you also need money to see a doctor, and you can buy some good things to supplement it quickly." ”
Cui Fenglan hurriedly excused herself: "It's too much, my father can't let it!" ”
Shen Xiaoyu thought for a while: "Then take half of it for urgent medical treatment, and I will buy the rest and send it over directly, so that his old man will not out!" ”
Cui Fenglan continued, and said with a smile: "You know my father's temper better than me!" ”
Cui Fenglan hurriedly went to Cui Laoxiu to take care of her, and Father Shen said, "Let's deal with it after eating in the next few days." "It's really a bit bad for Shen Xiaoyu's cooking skills, obviously when he was a child, he said that he wanted to be a cook, but he didn't put more salt or no salt in cooking, and he couldn't learn how to teach, and he panicked when he saw the smoke in the oil pot!
Shen Xiaoyu knew that he was disgusted by his father, so he said, "Okay, anyway, there are pickles for my aunt, and there are some to eat!" "She's too lazy to do it!
When it was almost dark, the rain outside was a little lighter, but Father Shen was a little worried: "It has been raining since the beginning of summer, and I am afraid that the fields will be waterlogged this year!" ”
Shen Xiaoyu looked at the sky as if it was leaking, and wondered if the feeling of relying on the sky to eat was really not very good.
