Chapter 443 Qualifications for Parenthood
Zhou Baotian didn't know what his two little granddaughters were talking behind his back, and what he was most anxious about now was not only that his two big fat pigs didn't get the money after they handed over the task, but also that Widow Liu and several other families couldn't get their money back.
His family can't get the money back, at least they can still eat, and their families have begun to cut off, seeing that the wheat harvest is about to be made, and there is no food for the top matter, so they can only eat wild vegetable soup to harvest the wheat.
Although it is said that half a year's melon and vegetables are half a year's grain, but now in addition to the wild vegetables that have been old on the mountain, it is the time when the green and yellow are not harvested, the potatoes have just bloomed, and the sweet potatoes are climbing the vines, so there is really nothing to eat.
He has taken care of those families for so many years, and he knows more about their situation than his own children's families, who has been empty for several days, and who can't eat anymore, he knows very well.
That's why I'm in such a hurry to help them ask for money, and I can't get back the money from selling pigs, and I really starve people out of a bad situation.
As for using his own grain to help them, it was like this every year before Han Jin found them last year, but now it doesn't work, Han Jin said, they just don't eat the grain and give it to the pigs to eat, he doesn't care, but if there is a grain of grain out of his house, he will let the old captain know about the fact that he went to steal green corn a few years ago.
No matter how serious it is, of course, it is to poke Wang Dajiang's matter out, in fact, just exposing him for stealing green corn is enough to threaten Zhou Baotian.
After all, his reputation has deteriorated now, and he has turned over the old accounts of twenty or thirty years ago and chased after others, and if he didn't give it, he would move food and cotton clothes, and how could he have sacrificed himself to help the poor!
But if he wants to add a reputation for stealing on this basis, Zhou Baotian is unwilling to be killed.
Even if he stole green corn back then, he didn't give his wife and children a bite to eat, but sent it to the greedy Erlaizi old lady to eat, the old lady wanted to eat two green corn fish and fish before she died, otherwise Zhou Baotian would not have done such a thing.
He had never done it for his wife and his children, but he didn't think that a moment of kindness would let Han Jin seize the handle.
Zhou Baotian was very angry about this, but his grievances could not be spread in front of Han Jin, so he had no scruples about Zhou Lanye, and besides, this uncompetitive daughter made a mistake.
When he arrived at the house where Zhou Lanye lived in the feed room, it was just in time for dinner, Widow Liu sat on the kang and cursed, the house was full of green smoke, Zhou Lanye squatted on the back stove while coughing and lighting the old wheat straw that was returning to the tide and preparing to make a fire to cook.
Widow Liu saw Zhou Baotian enter the house and scolded even more vigorously, "I've never seen a lazy woman like you!" I don't know how to go home and cook, you want to starve me to death! I don't know how to dry firewood, and I smoke in a room when I cook every day, you think I'm long-lived!
Anyway, I'm just an old woman who eats for nothing, and starving to death is exactly what you want! My sons are dead! What am I still alive for! I'm dead! If you die, you will be pure, go and live with your three dead cubs who have no conscience, and then find them a stepfather, all of them have changed their surnames, and our old Liu family will be extinct! ”
scolded and cried at the same time, as if Zhou Lanye had abused her so much that she couldn't live anymore.
Since Han Jin drove Widow Liu out of Zhou Baotian's house, Zhou Lanye took her over to serve.
Gou Yu and Xiaoping couldn't persuade Zhou Lanye with Xiao San'er, and the children separated from her as soon as they discussed.
The eldest of them, Xiaoping, was only sixteen years old at the time, the dog was fifteen years old, and the youngest junior was less than ten years old.
Zhou Lanye doesn't have to care about them, they won't care about Zhou Lanye and Widow Liu, they will go their own way in the future, and no one will bother anyone.
Zhou Lanye and Widow Liu stayed in the breeding room where they used to live, and they still lived in the house where Xiangxiang once lived.
Zhou Lanye didn't give the house to the children at that time, and the people in the tunzi didn't understand her, driving out her three children in the winter, which mother could do it?
Since then, the people in the tunzi have also begun to distance themselves from her, she is really real, and she has no bad intentions, but she can't tell the good from the bad, which is really bad.
Drove out his own children and took a former mother-in-law who beat and scolded them for so many years and almost took her and her children to starve to death to serve, this is no longer good or bad, this is simply a fool!
She doesn't know if she's good to her, and she doesn't remember if she's bad, who would dare to deal with her!
Zhou Lanye was also aggrieved in this regard, and cried to Xiangxiang, "I don't care about his milk, can I hide out, can Xiaoping and the others get away?" Isn't it going to have to be on them then? I took over for them, and I took the burden of suffering and sinning, so that they could have a peaceful birthday for a few days, why am I wrong? ”
Xiangxiang told her carefully, "Xiaoping and the others are still children, and they still have to rely on their parents to support them, and it is useless for Widow Liu to look for them."
Besides, Widow Liu is not paralyzed on the kang and can't move, Ma Sanma, who is worse than her, can still go to the production team to earn half a person's work to support herself, she wants to rely on her widowed daughter-in-law and a few children to support, and she can't say anywhere. As long as you resist and don't agree, she won't be able to do anything. ”
Zhou Lanye didn't think so, "She doesn't care if she says it's Xiaoping's elder, she really doesn't care about it, she will definitely have to gossip in the future." They will be affected when they get married in the future.
That's the elders, Xiaoxiang, you persuade Xiaoping and Gouyu, don't be so hard-hearted, they can milk him like this today, will they have to treat me like this in the future? I'm so scared that when I'm old, I won't even be as good as his milk when I get old......"
Xiangxiang was particularly angry, "You don't care about them as a mother, their children won't be able to live on their own, what is the future!" Do you want to be a good mother or a good daughter-in-law now, whether you want to take care of your three children or support Widow Liu, you can only choose one. Do you want to throw away your own children for Widow Liu? ”
Zhou Lanye cried very sadly, of course she was reluctant to have a child, but in the end she felt that she still had to plan for the future of the child, she was a mother, she had to think about the long run, or take Widow Liu back to the house.
The most important thing is that Zhou Lanye feels that she has to set a good example for the children, and honoring the elderly is something that cannot be cared about at any time.
Otherwise, when she is old, what will the children do to her?
It's a pity that the three children didn't understand her hard work as a mother, and on the day she brought Widow Liu back, the three of them moved to the small cubicle behind the brigade headquarters that Han Jin found for them.
The sundries were all packed out, enough for the three sisters and brothers to live, and the old Wang Tou who lived next door to the brigade to show the house, could also help them burn the kang, and also watched the children don't have anything to do.
There is a stove behind the brigade headquarters, Han Jin arranged firewood and food for them, and the three sisters and brothers live very comfortably here, at least it is much better than being able to eat one coarse grain with Zhou Lanye at home, and the rest rely on sweet potatoes to fight hunger.
There is no need to be abused by Widow Liu, let alone work endlessly, less than half a month after the three sisters and brothers moved out, Xiao San'er saw that he had grown meat.
Xiaoping cleaned up the house in an orderly and clean manner, and Gou Yu began to plan to build two houses of his own for the three sisters and brothers in the spring.
Zhou Lanye thought that the children would not be able to stand it for a few days, and she would definitely have to beg her to go back when the time came, and she would take the opportunity to educate them, so that they would be obedient and filial to the elderly in the future, and the life of the family would be dealt with like this, and after a few years, the dog and the third child would grow up, and her good days would come when she married her daughter-in-law.
But I never thought that the children would run away as soon as they heard her mention about his milk, and even she would deny her as a mother!
