Chapter 3: Seeing Blood
When the old man heard that the third daughter-in-law dared to choke on him, his brows immediately calmed down, and he knew how many children there were in the family, and the younger son's autumn exam this year was very important, but the eldest son was right. It seems that the money that has been liked in the past few years will be used up this year.
"You are also clear about the situation at home, and Nengwen will have a one-year opportunity, you have to take advantage of it. If you don't pass the exam this year, your family won't have money for you next year. ”
"Thank you, grandparents, grandchildren, will definitely live up to your expectations." Shen Nengwen is fourteen years old this year, and the babies in the village are beginning to kiss at this age, he is a little cautious, and he can only be said to be the big one in the village.
Zhao felt very unfair, but looking at Shen Zhi's gloomy face, he also knew that his father-in-law was already unhappy, so he didn't dare to object anymore. As soon as she looked up, she happened to see Xiao Xia sitting in the corner holding her sister. The temper immediately exploded.
"What are you staring at here, a lame girl? The New Year's is because your family is not doing well, and the house is full of bad luck, why didn't you die of illness, and you can't get into the show this year, it's all because of you, the star. She originally wanted to say that she couldn't pass the Jinshi exam, but when the words came to her lips and swallowed back, how could she curse that she couldn't pass the Jinshi exam, and she still wanted to be an official's wife.
Xiao Xia was thinking about how to improve her food and living conditions in the future, and she was scolded if she couldn't get it, and the eyes of the whole room looked at her as if they had seen something unclean, all disgusted.
"Look at what? A cripple can't marry for the rest of his life, you are dragging down the old Shen family for a lifetime, why don't you die, it's really unkind. Zhao scolded regardless of it, but scolded the hearts of most people in the room.
When Wang heard Zhao say that it was Shen Xiaoxia's bad luck that made his son not admitted to Xiucai, he seemed to have found the reason why his son failed to be admitted to Xiucai twice.
"It's really a dead star, and after his leg is lame, he can't work, so he knows that if he drags down others, he can't get into the show. Dad just let Nengwen go to the school in the town to study, and in the future, I will be far away from you, a mourning star, and see how you can overcome our Nengwen. ”
Xiao Xia examined everyone in the room again, almost everyone agreed with the words of the Zhao family, and Shen Nengwen also glared at her fiercely. There are only two people who are different, one is Shen Zhi, he has always been self-healing, and he thinks that he is a young man and is not such a vulgar person. One is Xiao Xia's father, Shen Zhong, he lowered his head, Xiao Xia even saw the sweat on his forehead, and he didn't know whether he was angry or afraid.
"What? Auntie, is this going to kill me so that the burden on the Shen family can be lightened? Xiao Xia looked at the eyes of a room full of so-called relatives who couldn't help but cry. Shen Xiaoxia is right to die, if he doesn't die, he is black-hearted, what kind of relatives are in this house!
"You should have died, maybe the debt collector was on top." Zhao saw that the girl who usually didn't even dare to breathe dared to talk back to her, what was ugly and scolding.
She was really right, isn't she just a wild ghost? Xiao Xia sneered in her heart, hugged her sister and got up and left, it was herself who was fighting with them, so let's find a way to solve the problem of the family's food and clothing!
Xiao Xia hugged her sister out of the main house and completely ignored the roar in the house, and when the cold wind outside blew, it was almost through the cracks of the bones. Hurriedly took the doll in his arms back to his sisters' hut, there was no heat in the house, the soil kang was also cold, the quilt on the kang was thin and pitiful, and there was a straw mat underneath.
There is a quilt in the space but I don't dare to take it out and use it easily, the room is already dark, Xiao Xia took out a can of military canned food from the space, this has a long shelf life, and it is meat porridge, open it carefully. The doll in her arms finally moved, probably smelling the fragrance.
Xiao Xia took out a spoon and fed Xiao Qiu a mouthful, ate it herself, and a few bites of a bottle of canned food was gone. Both felt less hungry. Xiao Xia turned out another quilt, dismantled the quilt on the kang, stuffed the thick quilt into it, and found a needle and thread to sew the quilt cover. Lay down and fell asleep with Xiaoqiu in his arms.
The next day, Xiao Xia woke up from the cold again, and when she opened her eyes, it was not yet dawn, and Xiao Chun had already gotten up and sat on the edge of the kang with her arms in her arms. Seeing that Xiao Xia also woke up, he sighed, and there was a mist.
"You cuddle Xiaoqiu and then sleep, today's quilt is particularly warm." Koharu was wearing a single coat, and her cold speech was shivering.
"If you're cold, lie under the covers." In fact, it is not warm in the bed, but it is definitely better than standing on the ground in single clothes.
"It's okay, I'll help my mother light the fire in a while, and it won't be cold at all when the fire is baked, and you can sleep again." I heard a noise next door, and I knew that it was my mother who got up, so I went out of the house.
How can Xiao Xia sleep in such a cold heart, thinking about how to improve the current living conditions, and his legs should be lame after tomorrow when he listens to Wang's tone, I don't know if it can be cured?
If you want to live a good life, there is silver first, and there are a lot of gold jewelry in the space, which is a valuable object that can be placed everywhere, but it is still a bit troublesome to exchange it for silver.
Shen Xia became Shen Xiaoxia and only accepted her body, but did not accept her memory. It will take time to understand this era.
Today's breakfast is less than usual, and Mrs. Jia said that the family's expenses have increased, and everyone should cut back on food and clothing. However, Xiao Xia noticed that several special people who should eat eggs for breakfast, such as the old man and the old lady, as well as Shen Zhi and Shen Hui and Shen Nengwen, were still eating eggs. The food of the others did not decrease, only the four of them were reduced.
Xiao Xia looked at the other table, and his father's rice bowl was one less nest, and it seemed that only his family was thrifty.
"What are you frowning about, what are you not satisfied with when you have something to eat? Seeing you early in the morning, our family was discouraged on this day. Zhao still remembers the incident of this dead girl's mouth last night, and she began to make trouble early in the morning.
Xiao Xia originally didn't plan to pay attention to it, but when she thought about it, she had a notice. "That doesn't mean that we can't stop our family from eating in the main house."
After speaking, it seemed that he was afraid that he would not be allowed to eat, so he cleaned up a bowl of porridge in one bite.
This sentence seems to remind the Zhao family, don't you want to see the three sisters who eat for nothing? If you don't let them eat at the table, you're not quiet.
"Mother, this lame girl is very unlucky. There are two exams in our family this year, but we can't spoil the feng shui at home. Let them go back to the house and eat by themselves. ”
Mrs. Jia, who was sitting on the clay kang, really thought about it when she heard it, regardless of whether what Zhao said was true or not, but when she saw the three girls, she also felt unlucky.
Shen Zhong and Xiao Wang saw that the two old men didn't speak, and they immediately panicked, is this to let their three daughters starve to death? No matter what others say, two people really feel sorry for their children.
Xiao Wang immediately knelt down, and his knees didn't hurt when he hit the cold ground, he trembled, tears fell down, and he didn't speak.
Shen Zhong also put down the dishes and chopsticks, bowed his head and did not speak.
Mrs. Jia saw that Xiao Wang, who didn't have a single stewed fart, dared to play with herself, this was going to turn the sky upside down, and threw the chopsticks in her hand on the table. Screaming at the top of his throat: "What do you mean? What is this dissatisfaction with your wife? ”
"I'm crying early in the morning, and I'm going to go to the town to study in a while. Are you a curse that we can write? "Wang's she is in a good mood today, and she is in a better mood when she sees that Zhao's is in a bad mood, and she plans to eat two more bowls of rice. But when it comes to her son, she can't bear it.
"Mother, you think that girl is unlucky, but people treat her as a baby, and she killed our family, and this family is all hers." Zhao was talking cool on the side.
"She dares!" As soon as Mrs. Jia heard that someone was worried about the Shen family, she paid it back. picked up the bowl on the table and smashed it on Xiao Wang's head.
It was too late for Xiao Xia to pull her mother, but she saw that Xiao Wang's forehead had been smashed, and blood flowed down her forehead and eyes, half of her face was dyed red with blood, and the other half of her face was white without any blood.
The people in the room were stunned when they saw it, if it was a ghost, it would be like this. Xiao Qiu in Xiao Xia's arms burst into tears. Xiaochun was frightened, knelt down and hugged Xiao Wang's and called her mother. Shen Zhong fell down from the stool and didn't see him for a long time.
The house was in chaos all of a sudden, and the timid ones didn't eat anymore and ran away. Shen Hui hid behind Old Lady Jia and didn't dare to open her eyes at all. Mrs. Jia was also frightened, thinking that she had died this time.
"Don't invite the village head flower doctor yet!" The old man was still awake and knew that he would not be able to die at this moment, but the blood was terrifying, and he had to find a doctor to take a look.
Mrs. Jia was awakened by a shout, and immediately exclaimed: "No one is allowed to invite a doctor, Xiaochun quickly help your mother back to the house, just find some incense and put it on." ”
As soon as Xiao Xia saw that this was a plan to see death and not save her, she listened to the old man's words and knew that there was a doctor in the village, no matter what reason the old lady did not let the doctor be invited, she would also invite the doctor.
Thinking about it, regardless of the shouts behind him, he ran out of the yard wearing a single coat and a pair of fake shoes. She didn't know where Dr. Hua's family lived in the village. It's just past breakfast time, and there are people walking around the village on the road. Xiao Xia grabbed someone and asked where Dr. Hua's family lived? A total of three people were asked. I found a thatched house on the edge of the hill at the innermost point of the village, and when I looked inside, an old woman in a cotton jacket was drying herbs, and it must be a doctor.
"Doctor Hua, go and see my mother, my mother was broken by my grandmother." Xiao Xia stood outside the courtyard and shouted with a crying voice. I've thought about it all the way, this matter can't just be so simple, looking at Mrs. Jia's attitude is that she doesn't want people to know, she wants the whole village to know. So I asked all the way, and the three of them were anxious to explain that their mother was broken by their grandmother, and they were dying, and they were in a hurry to find a doctor.
