Chapter 651: Lazy Village Aunt in the Seventies (3)
An Nan went to inquire about the current price again, and found that if she wanted to open a small store, the remaining three hundred yuan at home was enough, although it was a bit tight, but if it was used to open a store, then she would have to cut back on food and clothing for the next period of time.
An Nan thought about it and planned to save some more money to talk about opening a store, but how to save the money?
The fastest money to come and don't need to pay the principal is to go up the mountain to hunt, and the wild things at this time must be able to be sold.
So Annan walked around the city for a day, learned about the world, and went back to the village.
On the way, I happened to meet villagers who came back from work in the field, all carrying hoes, talking and walking in groups, and when I saw An Nan, I was stunned for a while.
An Nan walked past them without squinting, and did not greet anyone.
In fact, the original owner is not a popular person in Yangliu Village, and her popularity is not good, even if a few people come together to play with her, it is because she has loose hands, and there are delicious things at home that can be distributed casually, and those who can't eat enough will please her.
But now her grandparents are gone, leaving her as a spoiled loser, who is destined to have no future in the future, and it is useless to please her now, so those few people who had some friendship with the original owner before also pretended not to see An Nan, and left with their heads down.
An Nan doesn't care much about these friends who drink and meat, they are now alienated from her, and they just fall into her arms, after all, what is such a hypocritical "friend" going to do?
"Annan, this is coming back from the city, right? Tsk, grandparents are in the mood to go to the city to play as soon as they die, it's really unkind. Someone saw An Nan walking away, so he whispered.
"Who makes a good life so that they can eat without having to work?" The others said sourly.
"Hehe, good life? It was indeed a good fate before, with two capable elders, but now she is the only one left in the family, but she doesn't know how to be sensible, and sooner or later she will starve herself to death. The other scoffed.
"Are you in charge? Maybe her grandparents left her a lot of money? Someone else said.
An Nan frowned and listened to them talk about their own affairs, but they felt that it was not a good thing that the people in this village were too familiar, because everyone could know what happened in someone's house, and there was no privacy to talk about at all.
The next day, Annan went to the mountains to hunt some wild animals and sell them for money.
When she was halfway up the mountain, she suddenly heard the sound of a little beast whining and crying, she followed the sound, but found that it was a black and thin child, about seven or eight years old, skinny, and now he was squatting on the ground, covering his feet and crying bitterly.
An Nan walked over and found that his foot was caught by a beast clip, probably which villager stayed to make a trap to catch wild things, but he didn't expect this child to be unlucky and stepped on it.
When the black thin child heard the movement, he was startled, raised his eyes in fright, and when he found out that it was An Nan, he lowered his head and cried again.
is still a child, An Nan can't do anything to see death and not save him, so he bent down and looked at the child's injury.
The beast trap is relatively large, most of the child's feet are clamped, the iron teeth pierce deep into his feet, blood flows all over the ground, this child probably has little strength, there is no way to break the beast clip, can only desperately cover his feet and cry.
Now the adults are working in the fields, and no one will go up the mountain, and this child is still young to come out to cut pigweed, collect firewood, and do some work that does not require much effort, but he did not expect that he would have this accident.
"Bear with me, I'll help you break this beast clamp first." An Nan said softly and softly to the injured child.
The child raised his red and swollen eyes from crying, looked at her, and nodded.
Then An Nan grabbed both sides of the beast trap and pulled it away violently, the child was also very responsive, and the moment the beast trap was pulled apart, he retracted his feet regardless of the pain.
An Nan threw away the beast trap, picked up the child's injured foot, and looked at it, he was a little seriously injured, and the four deep blood holes were on the little foot that didn't have much flesh, the flesh and blood were blurry, and it was pitiful to look at, no wonder he cried so badly.
"Wait here, don't move, I'll find some hemostatic herbs to put on your dressing." Annan put down his feet and said to the child.
The child looked at her timidly and gave a soft "um".
An Nan didn't care about hunting, so he had to pull out a few herbs that could stop the bleeding, came back and chewed it and applied it to the child's injured foot, but this was only a temporary way to stop the bleeding.
After An Nan helped him treat his wounds, he said, "I'll carry you down the mountain." ”
But the boy shook his head and said in a low voice, "No...... I've got to cut a basket of pigweed and go back......"
An Nan glanced at the empty basket he had fallen next to, and said in disbelief: "You are injured like this and still have to cut pigweed?" If this wound is not treated quickly, do you want to become a cripple in the future? ”
The child panicked at first, but quickly calmed down again, pursed his lips, and then said stubbornly: "If you don't cut the pigweed, you won't have any work today?" ”
An Nan's eyes widened, and he said incredulously: "You are still so young, what kind of work do you earn?" Can you still starve without your little work at home? ”
Who knew that the little boy nodded and said, "Without this little work, my grandfather and I would be hungry." ”
"You, is there only one person in the family, grandpa and you?" An Nan seemed to sense something, and asked with some hesitation.
"Yes, grandpa is sick and can't work, and if I don't work, I'm going to starve to death." The child replied with his head bowed, grasping a grass in his hand and kneading it into juice.
An Nan looked at the poor child, and finally found a fragment about him from the memory of the original owner, it turned out that the child's grandfather was one of the "big people" in the city who was knocked down a few years ago, and was sent to Yangliu Village for labor reform, and when he came, he brought a grandson who was only two or three years old, because the rest of the family was dead, so even if the grandson was small, he had to take it.
Because of his special status, it is impossible to live in the compound of the educated youth like the educated youth, he can only live in the cowshed, and he has to do ideological reviews from time to time, and his life is very miserable.
And the child in front of him looks like he is only seven or eight years old, but he is actually ten years old, but he lacks food and clothing, so he is so thin.
Now that his grandfather is old and has been sick and unable to work, he has to cut pigweed for the village every day, so that he can earn some work and not starve to death for both grandparents and grandchildren.
