Chapter 8 Blame for oneself
Zhou was pulling Jiang Yunshan's arm and not letting him go with tears in his eyes: "Yunshan, you are a sensible ...... You said yourself, is it easy for my aunt to raise your brother and sister from the age of six to such a big age? How much did you pay? ”
Jiang Yunshan looked a little embarrassed, he lowered his head, moved his lips, and never spoke.
Jiang Baoqing recalled the memory of the original owner, and just wanted to sneer in his heart.
How much did it take?
Their old Jiang family went over the real estate and land of the brothers and sisters, and then every year like beggars, they gave them one or two pieces of tattered clothes that Jiang Lady and Jiang Erya really couldn't wear, and then gave them a bag of old rice mixed with a lot of chaff, so that their brothers and sisters could not freeze to death or starve to death.
Jiang Yunshan, a young man, in order to let himself and his sister wear those torn clothes more decently, was forced to do a good needlework. Jiang Baoqing and Jiang Yunshan were wearing patches of patched old clothes, even if there was a patch, was it sewn by the Zhou family?
How can Zhou have the face to say how much he has paid!
There is also that bag of aged rice mixed with a lot of bran, Zhou is also embarrassed to say! How many times, Jiang Erya has laughed at them, even if it is a pig raised at home, they eat better than them!
Zhou didn't seem to see Jiang Yunshan's embarrassment, and continued to pull Jiang Yunshan's arm, crying very sincerely: "...... Let's talk about your study, you go and inquire, how many children can we have in Qiliwo to study? …… Is it easy for you to read at home? With so much money spent on studying, would you be where you are today without the support of your family? Even if it's your younger brother Ah Cai, he wants to go to school, I didn't agree! ”
Jiang Baoqing sneered uncontrollably. Zhou's youngest son Jiang Youcai's study, where did Zhou not agree, it was really the Jiang family who spent a lot of money to send the only seedling Jiang Youcai into the school, and the gentleman in the school drove Jiang Youcai back in a few days.
Without him, this Jiang Youcai is too good at causing trouble in the school, not only did he doze off as soon as he heard the lecture, but he beat three or four classmates in the school in a few days! This little bully even slapped the gentleman in the school!
Just this matter, Zhou is embarrassed to show his merits!
As for Jiang Yunshan's study, the original owner's memory is clear, it was when Jiang Yunshan's father was still there, he got acquainted with an old man who had been a housekeeper in a large family. The old man knew a lot of words, and he was a somewhat cultured person. He saw that Jiang Yunshan Yuxue was cute and had nothing to do, so he took a branch on the sand and taught him to recognize a few words. Who would have thought that Jiang Yunshan would learn extremely fast at such a young age. The old man was interested, so he simply taught Jiang Yunshan every day for a period of time. Later, he couldn't stop sighing with Jiang Yunshan's father, Jiang Yunshan's ability to learn is to enjoy food all the time, and it is strongly recommended that Jiang Yunshan's father send Jiang Yunshan to study.
It's just that the old man went elsewhere because of something, and Jiang Yunshan, Jiang Baoqing, and their father were too sick to get up, so the matter was delayed.
After Jiang Yunshan and Jiang Baoqing's father passed by, by chance, Jiang Yunshan learned from the children in the same village that the school in the county was accepting Mengtong, he gritted his teeth, settled his sister at home, got up early in the morning on the day of Mengtong's exam, and followed the people in the village to catch up in the county town with one foot and one foot shallow, and went to the county together.
Who would have thought that Jiang Yunshan would take the test as the leader of Mengtong.
Several gentlemen from the county school loved Qicai, and after knowing that his family was poor, he was specially exempted from more than half of the shackles.
Rao is like this, Jiang Yunshan still hit a big wall at Old Man Jiang.
Old man Jiang said that he would not pay dozens of dollars for anything, and let Jiang Yunshan go to the county to study.
"The family is very busy with farm work! Your sister is an idler who can only eat with her mouth open! The family raised you so big for nothing, are you embarrassed to eat dry rice one or two?! I still want to spend the family's money to read that Raushzi's book and dream! Don't even think about it! ”
Later, Li Zheng, who was still the head of the village, heard that the Jiang family had a county school Mengtong leader, and wanted to come over to encourage Jiang Yunshan, but he happened to meet the old man Jiang scolding Jiang Yunshan, and he was immediately unhappy, and forced the old man Jiang to give the remaining dozens of dollars to tie up.
Old man Jiang was angry for a long time because of this.
He was not only angry at the dozens of dollars, but also angry at the lack of a laborer in the family, and he had to raise that fool for nothing!
As a result, Jiang Yunshan learned more and more, and the old man Jiang praised Jiang Yunshan more than once or twice, and faintly realized that if Jiang Yunshan got a name for himself, they would be able to follow the light in their family in the future, so he slowly improved Jiang Yunshan's face.
It's just a matter of face.
However, Jiang Yunshan reads the book of sages, and he is indeed grateful to the Jiang family for letting him read.
But gratitude does not outweigh anger.
Jiang Yunshan bit his lip slightly, and whispered to Zhou: "Auntie, say what you want to say...... I'm very grateful to you for letting me go to school, but letting Baoqing marry that lame man Zheng is absolutely impossible. ”
Zhou didn't expect Jiang Yunshan, who had always been very thin-skinned, to refuse her so simply, she grabbed Jiang Yunshan's arm tightly, her fingers sank deeply, and Jiang Yunshan's face changed a little.
Jiang Baoqing couldn't stand it anymore, she directly reached out and pushed open the window, and shouted through the window: "Brother, I'm hungry!" ”
Zhou's face changed.
Jiang Baoqing didn't care about Zhou, she opened the window, and sweetly shouted "Auntie" to Zhou, taking advantage of Zhou's panic, she ran out of the adobe house with a smoke, pulled Jiang Yunshan out directly from under Zhou's hands, and ran out of the door.
Zhou came back to his senses at this time, and stomped his feet behind him and shouted "oops" twice, Jiang Baoqing and Jiang Yunshan did not look back.
Jiang Baoqing relied on the memory of when he came, and pulled Jiang Yunshan straight to a place where medicinal herbs flourished.
On the way, I met children from the same village, and when the children saw Jiang Baoqing and Jiang Yunshan, they clapped their hands and laughed: "Nerd, have you taken your stupid sister out to bask in the sun again?" ”
The old Jiang family sold Jiang Baoqing for five taels of silver, because it was not a glorious thing, and no one in the old Jiang family said anything about it. Few people in the village knew that Jiang Baoqing was sold and ran back.
Jiang Yunshan didn't say anything, but grabbed Jiang Baoqing's hand tightly.
Jiang Baoqing turned his head and tilted his head to look at the children.
It is said that it is a child, but in fact, it is not young. It's just that because they didn't go to school, a group of energetic children had nothing to do at home, so they went up to the trees to catch birds, went down to the river to catch fish, fought cocks and walked dogs, and tossed whatever they wanted.
These children abuse Jiang Baoqing on weekdays, Jiang Baoqing has always just hidden, how could he ever look at them like this?
"Yo, the fool has changed sex?" One of the snotty men pursed his lips disdainfully, took a branch and threw it at Jiang Baoqing.
Jiang Yunshan was busy guarding Jiang Baoqing, and the branch hit Jiang Yunshan's face, leaving a red mark on Jiang Yunshan's face.
Jiang Yunshan was in pain, but he refused to shout, for fear that his sister would worry.
Jiang Baoqing's eyes narrowed, he picked up a small pebble from the ground, and threw it at the person who threw the branch-
A terrible howl resounded through the heavens and the earth.
The man who threw the branch hugged one arm and cried bitterly: "Ah! This fool threw a stone at me! My hand was broken! It's broken! Help me kill her! Kill her! ”
Frightened, several of his companions hurried to pick his clothes and check his arms.
However, the outer garment was peeled off, and the sleeves inside were rolled up high—not to mention any broken words, and there was not even a darker mark left on the blackened arm.
A companion laughed: "Gangzi, why are you so embarrassed, how strong can that fool have?" Besides, you have thick clothes, and you break your hands! Hahahaha! I didn't even have a mark, so I howled as if I had been slashed, what a shameful thing! ”
A few of his companions next to him also giggled.
The one called "Gangzi", with a red face and red ears, he held his arm, his eyes were red, and he looked at his arm in disbelief - since it was not broken, how could it hurt so much?
Because of this, the children quarreled.
Jiang Baoqing curled the corners of his mouth, and took advantage of the chaos to pull Jiang Yunshan away.
Jiang Yunshan waited for a long time, and then he stopped talking a little: "Baoqing, ......"
He wants to educate his sister that it's not good to take a stone to embarrass someone, if he hits his eye, the other party's life will be over.
However, Jiang Yunshan remembered the hardships his sister had endured in the past, and he couldn't say anything.
Forget it, this is also their own fault.
