The mother smiled, "Okay, let's go back, and we can save 15 yuan!" "My mother's sideburns looked like dry pine needles in the afterglow of the setting sun.

The mother and daughter walked all the way back, and Qin Yue told her mother that the streets of Guancheng were full of people in the middle of the night. At the same time, she also talked about how she and her sister met a fellow couple at a food stall in the night market!

However, Qin Yue, like her sister Qin Yang, did not mention that she was taken to the hospital by ambulance because she fainted without eating for more than 30 hours on the train, and she was also afraid that her mother would be sad.

The sky was getting darker, and the dark night was coming in little by little. Mother kept motioning for Qin Yue to walk in front, but Qin Yue was puzzled! My mother said, "If there is a bad guy coming from the front, I can see it at a glance, but if it is coming from behind, my mother will block you!" "Mothers have always been a safe haven for their children.

As she spoke, her mother grinned at Qin Yue again, revealing her two huge front teeth! Once, Qin Yue heard that women with big front teeth were all Kefu. Whenever she heard this, her mother, Jiang Cuilian, would always say to her two children, "Don't listen to them chewing their tongues." ”

However, after their father died, their mother said to them, "It's good that your two teeth are inherited from your father, not mine!"

But now, it was replaced by the eldest daughter Qin Yang to comfort her mother, "Mom, don't think about it, it's just a coincidence, in addition to people's daily living conditions, there is also a problem of probability, Dad's illness is just an accident!" That night, the mother and daughter eventually went to bed when they were tired from crying.

When Qin Yue and her mother returned home, it was already more than eight o'clock in the evening! The mother rushed to the stove room to make dinner, and Qin Yue took the initiative to prepare to feed the pigs. found that not only did there be no pigweed at home, but the two big fat pigs in the pen who were clear and decent before going out were both gone.

"Mom, where's our pig?" Qin Yue ran to the kitchen to ask her mother.

"Sold!" The mother replied without looking up, adding wood to the stove. The water in the pot for the next noodles boiled loudly and rattling.

Qin Yue wanted to ask why she sold it, but she suddenly remembered the small book with huge debts recorded in her mother's unique handwriting, and walked out of the stove room in silence.

Behind him, the sound of his mother sniffing. The mother must have cried, but she did not dare to go over and comfort her. Instead, he went to his bedroom and changed his clothes and pants. With scissors, I carefully cut open the place on my pants that was sewn by my sister. Finally, it was finally dismantled.

Qin Yue counted it, a full nine hundred, and one is not a lot! Of course, the little note with my sister's phone number is still there.

The sound of my mother serving soup with a spoon came from the stove!

Qin Yang walked towards the stove room with the nine hundred yuan in his hand and a note with his sister's phone number written on it.

The same white water lettuce chili oil somen noodles! Qin Yue remembered that a long time ago, this was how the family ate. Although there is rice, my mother has to go to work early in the morning, so she has no time to cook.

Qin Yue handed the money to her mother, "Mom, this is what my sister took." And, me

My sister has a mobile phone, so we can call this phone number in the future to find her directly, and we don't have to trouble others to tell her. ”

"Really!" The mother was pleasantly surprised to put down the chopsticks that were about to put the noodles in her mouth. Bamboo chopsticks make a dull sound on the side of the ceramic bowl.

Then, the mother changed her words and said, "This child, I know that it is a waste of money, it should be very expensive!" The look on his face suddenly became serious.

"Mom, it's not expensive, it's not expensive at all, so how convenient it is for us to find my sister in the future!" Qin Yue explained to her mother. Because, my sister Qin Yang had explained to her before. In any case, the mother should not be allowed to know the price of the phone. Otherwise, she will be told that it is a waste of money.

Sure enough, Qin Yue had to sigh in her heart for her sister's foresight.

Mother even forgot to take the money handed over by Qin Yue and the note with the mobile phone number.

Qin Yue saw that her mother was still there, but it was a pity that her sister spent the money to buy a mobile phone. She then said, "Mom, my sister said that in two years, when she earns money, she will also install a phone in our house, so that we don't need the phone of my sister's village elder's house, let alone look at the face of the big!" ”

Even Qin Yue didn't expect that her words would actually convince her mother, what a low probability this is. Usually, it is Qin Yue, and the two sisters are dumbfounded by their mother's words, and they can't raise their heads.

Indeed, Jiang Cuilian herself knew that every time she called or answered the phone to Qin Yang, the two eyes of the village chief's wife Wang Haiying were as big as a donkey's eyes, and Jiang Cuilian had to pretend not to see them. After all, you have to beg people from time to time, and once you fall out, how troublesome it is! If she could really install a phone at home, she would never have to face the annoying Wang Haiying again.

Although her wishes are indeed beautiful, reality does not allow her to have such extravagant hopes, after all, she is still distressed about money in the final analysis.

It was only then that she reached out and took the money and the note with the phone number that Qin Yue handed to her. He muttered, "Now tomorrow, I can take 660 to pay back the money for your father's ten days in the town at Dr. Jiang's place at the beginning of the year!" ”

The people in this town are poor. If you have a cold or flu, but if you need an infusion, you will basically pay on credit. Although the repayment will be slower, it is rarely relied on!

Qin Yue didn't give her mother the more than forty yuan that was left on her body. Because, she wants to help her mother improve her life.

Until she went to bed at night, Jiang Cuilian was still glad that she didn't say anything in front of the child. Otherwise, it would be so stressful for the child, she couldn't afford to lose them anymore.

For Jiang Cuilian, she lost her husband forever, Qin Yang went to work in other places and did not come back once a year, which can be regarded as a loss in a sense.

Regarding fate, this woman named Jiang Cuilian, even if she can grasp the slightest, she is unwilling to give up!

It was the evening of the day I received Qin Yue's letter from the village chief's house that Qin Yue went to Guancheng. Jiang Cuilian, who did not go to work that day, used her spare time to pick up the weeds in the vegetable garden and cornfield around the house

It has to be clean, and all the fertilizer that should be applied has been applied.

Perhaps, it was precisely because of seeing the fresh traces of the land that Jiang Cuilian picked up that the creditor expected that she must be at home. So, in the evening, when Jiang Cuilian returned home with a basket full of purslane, the creditor had already waited at the door.

The other party's name is Xu Biao, about twenty-seven or eighteen years old, he is a very famous bastard in the neighboring village, and he can be a little bully outside the village.

On weekdays, he specializes in stealing chickens and dogs, and he will take almost all the things he steals to the town and exchange them for money. As a result, if someone loses a chicken or duck the first day, it will appear at the town's market a second time.

It's obviously your own thing, and you want it to be returned to its original owner! But they had to spend money to buy it back. Many ordinary people, including Jiang Cuilian, hate Xu Biao, the bully. Therefore, many stolen families reported Xu Biao's matter to the village chief or even the township head!

Many people commented that the village chief was completely a master of dry food in this regard. In fact, it's not that he doesn't want to take care of things, but the main thing is that he doesn't dare to take care of it.

I remember one time, Xu Biao stole a rabbit raised by a family in the village. The village chief just said a few words to him. That night, he uprooted all the crops in the fields that had not yet grown. Warnings were carved into the mud that had rained.

Since then, he has stolen other people's things, and because he is afraid of causing greater losses, the people who have suffered losses have no choice but to suffer dumb losses.

The most important reason is that the people here are not particularly united. When you encounter something that has little to do with you, you always have the mentality that you are not stealing your own anyway, and everyone will sweep the snow in front of the door.

For Xu Biao's petty theft, he had to pretend not to know and didn't care. However, when all the adults talked about Xu Biao behind their backs, they undoubtedly gritted their teeth with hatred. But when faced with Xu Biao's evil deeds, the common people didn't even dare to let out a fart.

Xu Biao brought two young people of the same age as him this time, and also drove a tractor. They parked the tractor on the threshing floor.

In fact, on the ninth day after her husband's death, the gang had already come once. At that time, Qin Yang happened to return to Guancheng, and Qin Yue also happened to go back to school.

At that time, Jiang Cuilian begged him for a long time, and verbally agreed with him that he would be given a few more months of grace before he left.

Seeing Xu Biao, Jiang Cuilian took the lead in speaking, "Big brother, there are still 8 days left at the time agreed with you, 8 days later, I will send you the pig at home after I sell it, you come all the way over, how inconvenient it is!" ”

A woman who is usually tough, but she has to let go of her toughness for the sake of her husband, for her family, and in front of outsiders. She said to Xu Biao with a smile on her face.

There was a smell of wine wafting from Xu Biao's body, he should have drunk a lot of wine, Jiang Cuilian thought to herself.

Xu Biao, who drank alcohol, did not have any patience this time. He directly pulled down his face and said to Jiang Cuilian, "But you just can't wait, you have to return the money to me today!" As he spoke, he was a little drunk and took his two people into the house.

As one

Female streamers, no matter how strong Jiang Cuilian is, how can she resist the three young and strong young men!

knew that Jiang Cuilian couldn't come up with the money, so they had no fear in Jiang Cuilian's house, but they couldn't find a penny. In the end, Jiang Cuilian had to say to them, "Big brother, don't look for it, even if I ask me to find it, I won't be able to find the money!" ”

Perhaps, it was precisely because Jiang Cuilian's words angered Xu Biao and others. They moved their gaze to the two snorting pigs in the pen.

"Look at it!" Xu Biao instructed them. The two of them went to take a look and returned. The little man said, "Boss, her pigs don't seem to be worth that much money!" ”

Before another man could add fuel and vinegar, Jiang Cuilian took the lead in answering, "Yes, big brother, these two pigs are estimated to be unable to sell for 2,800 yuan now!" You see, I'll give you a pretty little money on time when I'll feed them and sell them for a week. ”

Actually, Jiang Cuilian is not sure about this. At this moment, she was only thinking about how to send Xu Biao and the others away as soon as possible.

As the saying goes, there are many rights and wrongs in front of the widow's door. What's more, she is a widow who has no children around and is in debt. Once the root of the tongue is chewed up, it will be even more open-minded.

Xu Biao didn't say a word, and walked to the pigsty. In a few moments, he came out.

"It's not much, I believe in my eyesight, you two, don't be stunned, hurry up and help me get the pig on the tractor!" Xu Biao's mouth full of wine was full of drunken words!
