Chapter 8: Candles in the Cave Room
Ye Laogen also showed a smile on his face, "Let's enter the house." ”
"Mother, I want to eat meat!" Changsheng said impatiently.
"Mother keeps it for you." Changsheng walked to the front, and Duan Shi found that Changsheng was still carrying a child on his back, and was a little surprised, "This is ...... Xia Yang? His eyes fell on Xia Yue.
Xia Yue nodded and said truthfully: "He is sick, and my aunt will not treat him, I am afraid that something will happen if he drags it out any longer, so I dare not leave him with my aunt." ”
"But don't worry, my younger brother will be raised by myself, and I won't occupy the Ye family."
Ye Laogen frowned after listening to Xia Yue's words, "Your aunt is really not presentable, and all the good children are ruined." ”
After a pause, he said: "The Ye family is not short of this mouthful of food, don't let him go back in the future." ”
Duan looked at the child and kitten lying on Changsheng's back, his eyes were wide open on his sallow and thin face, but he had no spirit at all, and at first glance he looked like a ghost, and his heart was also sad.
Seeing that the old man agreed, he hurriedly echoed: "Yes, there is no shortage of this stuttering at home." ”
Xia Yue was very grateful for the reasonableness of the Ye couple, but she also knew that it was not easy for the family to raise children for others for no reason in this era.
She said: "If it weren't for my aunt doing too much, I wouldn't have taken my younger brother to marry, this is the bride price money given by your second elder before, and I brought it with me." ”
As he spoke, he took out twenty taels of the money he asked for from Zhou Yuying and handed it to Duan.
"This ......" Duan looked at Father Ye.
Father Ye took a puff of dry cigarette: "Then your aunt's side?" "What kind of person Zhou Yuying is, the people in the nearby villages know it, so Father Ye gritted his teeth and took out twenty taels to 'buy out' Xia Yue, what he was afraid of was the greedy and insatiable Zhou Yuying.
"She said that there would be no relatives like me in the future." Xia Yue knew what he was worried about and said. "Don't worry."
Seeing her sincerity, Father Ye looked at Xia Yang hiding behind Changsheng and peeking at him, thought about it and nodded, and said to Duan, "Take it." ”
Only then did Duan accept the silver and hugged Xia Yang down, and when she got it, she couldn't help but exclaim: "Why is it so light?" ”
Xia Yue touched Xia Yang's head, "She didn't give him food, saying that she didn't do any work, and it was a waste to eat." ”
"What? Why is she so ruthless? Duan Shi looked at the child in his arms who was fluttering and almost couldn't feel the weight, and couldn't help but scold: "Zhou Yuying is doing evil, how can she do it to such a young child!" ”
Ye Laogen also shook his head, "Don't talk about these things yet, take care of them in the future." Xia Yue, don't worry, although Changsheng is stupid, our old Ye family will not treat your brothers and sisters badly. ”
Before Xia Yue could say anything, Changsheng was not happy, "Dad, I'm not stupid!" ”
"Okay, you're not stupid, it's your dad who said it wrong." Duan Shi was happy, "Let's go, eat meat." As he spoke, he pulled Changsheng and Xia Yue into the house.
It is very simple for the countrymen to get married, plus the Ye family is from outside, and there are no relatives in the local area, and the people who come to the banquet are all villagers from the village, and they learned that Zhou Yuying almost starved Xia Yue's younger brother to death, forcing Xia Yue to take her younger brother to marry, and they scolded Zhou Yuying angrily, and they also sympathized with Xia Yue's sisters and brothers more and more.
Incidentally, the reputation of the Ye family, who took in Xia Yang, has also improved a lot.
Xiushui villagers are so simple, there are almost no people in the village who steal chickens and dogs, there is such a ruthless woman as Zhou Yuying, and the bad reputation of Zhou Yuying almost starving to death in just one afternoon has spread throughout Xiushui Village, and even the village chief talked to her and told her to drive her out if she didn't restrain herself, which Xia Yue didn't expect.
Xia Yue is now facing another problem-
Wedding!
