"It's worth a few dozen dollars." They used to have a few good fox skins, but they were all sold, after years of injury, only sold these few bad ones, I used to keep it was originally to make a fox hat and fox gloves for the two children or something, the children grow up fast, every year to cost clothing, year after year, they can't make ends meet, and these fox skins can be worth a little money.

Alas......

Even the old man sighed.

Leng Yue looked at the pale and sad father-in-law and asked, "How many catties of rice can you buy for dozens of Wen?" ”

"It's only two or three pounds."

"Two or three pounds?" Leng Yue is going crazy, two or three catties of rice for the two children to eat, and it will be eaten in a few days, "That's not good, I'd better find something to do, otherwise the child will have a meal without a meal, and the nutrition will not be able to keep up." ”

Even the old man looked at Leng Yue, his lips opened a few times, his face was a little red, he lowered his head and didn't look at Leng Yue, his scalp trembled and he still said it: "What can you go out and find something to do?" A woman who has given birth to a child, in addition to being a nurse, has someone to do, how can she find a job to do? ”

“……”

Leng Yue was hit by such a direct blow from the old man, and his face flushed to the root of his ears, and he silently led the two children into the house.

In ancient times, women had a low social status, and they were supported by their mother's family when they were not married, and they were supported by their husbands when they were married, so they had no financial resources at all.

It's just a pity for the two children.

"Phase...... Public. Leng Yue was not used to such a title, looked at the man lying on a shabby bed only a few meters away, and asked, "Do I have a maiden home?" ”

If there is, she can go back, reach out to her mother's family to ask for money, buy some rice and noodles for a winter, next spring, even the family still has two acres of thin fields, she wants to grow some valuable fruits and vegetables, can get by.

"Nope." The man on the bed glanced at Leng Yue, turned sideways and said, "You are the daughter-in-law I bought for three taels of silver, how do I know where your mother's house is?" ”

"Oh." Leng Yue was silent.

My mother's family didn't have it, and this road didn't work, so I really made Leng Yue anxious.

Even the old man came in with a kerosene lamp, and his withered and thin hands carefully blocked the flickering flames, for fear that the wind outside would blow out the fire, "You take the two children to sleep, I just need to guard here." ”

Seeing that the two children were a little sleepy, Leng Yue hugged one in one hand and one in the other, and said to Lian Laohan: "Dad, if there is anything in the middle of the night, you can call me." ”

Last night, when she crossed over on the first day, she heard movement in the next room, and even the old man probably couldn't move the man on the bed, so he collapsed the bed and hit himself, but fortunately, the clothes were thick in winter, and only scratched the clothes and hit the toes, she was hearing their conversation, saying that the injury was not serious, so she didn't get up.

Leng Yue put Xiao Lianxiu, who was asleep on her shoulder, on the bed, helped her take off her clothes, covered the quilt, and was just about to help Xiao Lianjin, but the little guy took off his clothes and put on the bed, "Mother, I am grown up now, I don't need you to take care of me, when I grow up in the future, I will go into the mountains to hunt, and I will not let my mother and relatives follow us to starve." ”

When Leng Yue heard this, his heart was warm, but he felt that this was wrong, so he smiled bitterly, touched his head, and said gently: "Sleep, you will grow up, when you grow up, your mother is old, and I will rely on you to raise you in the future." ”

"Hmm." Xiao Lianjin gave Leng Yue an affirmative answer.

Early the next morning, Lian Laohan went into the mountains, cut two bundles of firewood and came back, went into the house and took the fox skins that were pressed at the bottom of the house, and prepared to go to the town to sell them.

Xiao Lianxiu looked at the white fox skin, her eyes flashed with reluctance, she saw it coldly, and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"Mother, that fox fur was left by my father to make clothes for me and my brother."
