Fei Lingyi put down the work in her hand, the faint candlelight of the candle shone on her mother's face, and Cui Yuechan's eyes were obviously dodging, "Mom, you are not the opponent of those people, tell me, it's a big deal, there is me." ”

"I can't hide anything from you." Cui Yuechan sighed faintly, "I can't hide this from you, it's just to delay time." Your grandmother said that we are going to live here, and we must pay 10 yuan in alimony to her every month, and we will come to get the money tomorrow, if we don't have any money to give, it is estimated that tomorrow will be another storm. ”

"You promised her?"

"No, however, if she brought it up like this, someone should be instructing, if we consider ourselves to be members of the Fei family, we must assume the obligation to support her, and if we don't support her, she has the right to cancel our inheritance of the family property. Lingyi, your father is a kind-hearted person, when your second and third uncle's families wanted to repair the house and came to borrow it from us, your father borrowed all the family's savings from them without saying a word, and I was embarrassed to mention the IOU at that time. Now they don't admit it, there is no basis, and we can't afford to say it. There were dozens of dollars at home, and after I went to the infirmary to settle the account for your hospitalization, there was still 20 yuan left, and I didn't dare to give it to her at that time, for fear that she would know that we had money and would even worsen. Also, if you give this twenty yuan, what will you do in the future? ”

"Mom, you're doing the right thing, don't worry, I'll deal with this." She thought for a while, and then said, "Mom, you can also knit sweaters, you can knit with me, how to knit, you just listen to me." ”

"Okay, I'll listen to my daughter." Cui Yuechan somehow became so dependent on her young daughter, and her daughter's understatement made her heart suddenly feel a lot easier. She faintly felt that after her daughter was sick this time, she spoke and acted almost like two people, and she didn't look like an 18-year-old girl. Thinking of this, she blamed herself again, if it weren't for this great tribulation, how could her daughter have matured so quickly.

The mother and daughter knitted intently, and it was not until the light outside began to turn white that they stood up and stretched their sore waists.

The efficiency of the two people's work is naturally much higher, and now the thickness of the thread is uniform, there is not so much trouble to add and subtract needles, and this night has gained a lot, and I actually knitted 20 pairs of shoes and 6 pairs of socks.

The stomach didn't seem to be so hungry, but it was just weak, and Fei Lingyi knew that it was because she had been hungry for too long.

"Mom, you lie on the bed and squint for a while, I'll make something to eat."

Cui Yuechan felt sorry for her daughter, "Let's go, I was idle at home yesterday, I found a lot of firewood, and found a few stones to build a temporary small stove, and the pot we brought can come in handy." ”

"Then I'll help you."

It's easier said than done. Cui Yuechan was born in a scholarly family in Shanghai, and has been working as an administrator in a fertilizer factory, and she really doesn't have this kind of wilderness survival ability. It's good to be able to think of finding a few rocks and storing firewood. Fortunately, Fei Lingyi was a bitter child in the countryside in her previous life, which was so bitter that she couldn't help it.

It's just that they haven't practiced for decades, and their hands are born, and the mother and daughter finally raised the fire, but as soon as the firewood entered, the fire went out, and the smoke came out one by one, choking the two of them to cough.

Slowly, Fei Lingyi recalled that firewood should not be put too much at a time, guarding the fire, putting it in little by little, there was no smoke, and the fire was vigorous.

The potatoes were cooked, and this time Fei Lingyi only cooked a small half. First, there are not many potatoes, so they must be eaten sparingly, and secondly, it is too hot on this day, and it will soon be rancid, as long as there is something to eat today. It's impossible to get enough to eat, as long as you don't get too hungry.

The mother and daughter had a beautiful breakfast, and Cui Yuechan, the remaining half of the steamed bun last night, forced her daughter to eat it, although she was half full, but the mother and daughter made a satisfied appearance to make each other feel relieved.

Fei Lingyi suddenly thought of something, "Mom, we can't let grandma find out about knitting sweaters, don't take it to the yard during the day, she came and hid it quickly." She wants to know that we have income, and she will definitely work harder. ”

Cui Yuechan nodded in agreement with her daughter's statement: "You're right, I only thought that your grandmother was uneducated and ignorant, but I didn't expect to be so hateful." Your father always said that she had been widowed for many years, and it was not easy to bring up the three brothers, so let me treat her well. She sighed, "I think I've done my best, but why can't I please her?" ”

The two of them talked, and the work in their hands did not stop, and from time to time they had to sharpen their ears to listen to the movements outside, and they did not dare to relax for a moment.

A chaotic sound of footsteps came from far and near, and the mother and daughter looked at each other and smiled, and finally came.

Fei Lingyi held the kitchen knife in her right hand, put her hand behind her back, straightened up, walked out, and sure enough, she saw her grandmother with her second uncle, third uncle, second aunt, third aunt, and five people coming together.

The old lady ignored Fei Lingyi, and her eyes only stared at Cui Yuechan: "I took the money." ”

Cui Yuechan said calmly: "No." Despite her best efforts, there was still a hint of timidity in her voice.

"No, okay, throw them all out."

The two men and two women were about to go inside, Fei Lingyi took out a kitchen knife from behind him, and said awe-inspiringly: "Whoever doesn't want to die, come here." ”

The second uncle didn't dare to really cut this delicate little girl with a kitchen knife, and said with a smile: "Niece, I didn't dare to beat you yesterday, and I didn't dare to really cut me today." ”

"Then let's try it." Before the words fell, Fei Lingyi's kitchen knife had already been chopped over, if it weren't for the second uncle's quick cleverness, the sharp kitchen knife would have already made a big cut on him.

"You're really chopping." The second uncle shouted as he fled: "Mom, this little girl is crazy." ”

Fei Lingyi refused to let him go, and still chased desperately, "If you want to go crazy, you will drive you crazy." ”

The second uncle rushed behind the old lady, "If you have a kind, you will cut your grandmother." ”

Fei Lingyi was already red-eyed, and said hatefully: "What don't you dare, it's a big deal to fight for my life." He screamed, but his hands and feet were not idle, and he came up, seeing that the knife was about to fall on the old lady.

The old lady was so frightened that she shouted, "Kill, help!" The body protruded left and right, struggling desperately, but the second child grabbed the clothes behind her back, causing her to be almost hit several times.

Fei Lingyi even made the old lady escape with a few slashes, and said angrily: "A big man, I'm embarrassed to use the old lady as a shield, you let me go!" The rest of the people had already been suppressed by Fei Lingyi's lifeless momentum, and they forgot to come forward to help.

It was the old lady who came back to her senses first, "You are dead, why don't you snatch that girl's knife off quickly." I don't believe that so many people can't cure this wild girl. ”

The third uncle found a wooden stick in the yard and held it in his hand and was eager to try it. When Fei Lingyi saw it, she wondered why she forgot to clean up the yard.

Seeing this, the second uncle shouted, "Knock off the knife in her hand first." ”

Fei Lingyi was not afraid, and Sen Ran smiled, "If you are not afraid of death, just come." ”

Cui Yuechan picked up the prepared wooden stick in the morning, stood beside her daughter, and glared at them, her legs were still trembling at first, but when she saw her daughter chasing the two of them with a knife, she had long forgotten that she was afraid.

"Ling Yi is right, today, our mother and daughter will fight with you."

These people were originally here to eat the despair, but they didn't want to come over and fight hard, seeing the posture of the mother and daughter who were not afraid of death, there was nothing they could do for a while.

"Eating out of households" means that a family, after the death of a man in the family, has no sons, even if it has a daughter, and the mother's family has no power and no support. Then the people of the same family will bully them. coveted her family's property and made things difficult in her life in order to force her away. Some widows in better condition will choose to remarry, and in serious cases, they will be forced out to beg for food, and some will even be forced to die.

But in the case of the Fei family, Fei Tianyou is not dead, and the mother and daughter are not willing to let them slaughter, and they are still holding knives desperately, which is a bit difficult to do.

Mrs. Fei saw that it was hard and couldn't do it, so she had to come soft, and she didn't want to make a fuss: "Yuechan, you let Ling Yi put the knife down, we have something to say." ”

Cui Yuechan smiled: "Say it well, when did you talk to me well?" I wouldn't be so stupid, let Ling Yi put the knife down, and tell you that my stick is not a vegetarian, and the rabbit will bite when he is in a hurry. ”
