Chapter 240: The Little Widow with Her Beard Cut Off (15)
"Yes, the old sister-in-law is right, don't waste a table of food for that group of people," the grandmother of the Song family also greeted everyone.
Everyone wiped their faces, and it was the right thing to have fun in time, and if they really lost their appetite because of those people, it would be what they wanted. They all laughed and vented all the frustration in their stomachs.
After eating, Mrs. Song Qi took Ran Jia's hand and entered the low east house, and the children did not go out to play under the eaves.
Mrs. Song Qi held Ran Jia's hand tightly and didn't let her continue to salute.
Ran Jia's eyes were sour and tight, it turned out that the master's hands were delicate, and he was soaked in cow's milk every day, but now he is black and thin, not to mention, there is a thick layer of cocoons!
"You've suffered," she choked up.
Mrs. Song Qi shook her head, looked at a few children squatting on the ground outside the window and writing big characters on the branches, sighed lightly and whispered: "Ran Jia, I don't feel bitter, I can live to raise a few children and leave a bloodline inheritance for Song Qi, but I feel that life is rushing." She was saying that when she raised the child to adulthood, she would end her life with a white silk and go to renew her relationship with Song Qi in the underworld.
Ran Jia's heart froze, and she shook her master's hand back: "Don't think so, the master must hope that you can live well." When people are gone, they can't control their own destiny, and you can't pin all your hopes on people after they die. Aren't we all your concern?
You're so young, you've been growing up for the rest of your life. ”
Mrs. Song Qi chuckled, and there was still no brilliance in her eyes.
Ran Jia pursed her lips: "I'm not as good as you, my father and brother are gone, only a sister-in-law and nephew are here." Marrying a husband, the condition is like that, before I accept my fate, there is no one. But look at me, don't I live well?
You have the sweetness and love of your grandfather, you have smart children, and you have respectable elders, and you should have courage. ”
Mrs. Song Qi nodded, and did not continue the topic, but frowned and said, "Just now, we only cared about catching up with you, but we forgot about your sister-in-law and nephew." ”
Ran Jia knew that she would not be able to unleash her master for a while, so she could only reluctantly reveal it, and when she said this, her heart rose again, "How is my sister-in-law and nephew?" ”
"Your sister-in-law is a good one, and she wanted to raise Da Hao'er alone for your brother's festival, but her father and mother were the first to break with us when they arrived in Nan'an, and with their selfish nature, how would they agree. They pulled her directly and married a widower who had some land. Mrs. Song Qi whispered to Ran Jia little by little.
The widower is good to Pingyi, the two had a few conflicts and some feelings, and gave birth to two babies, but Hao'er who didn't have a father to drag the oil bottle. Even if Pingyi loves him, because the two children can't take care of it, the three-year-old child is very sensible, which also makes them feel distressed.
"If you can, you can bring him this time, after all, it is the only bloodline in your family."
Ran Jia nodded, her eyes looking at Mrs. Song Qi.
"Li'an, you take your Aunt Ran Jia to see Xu Hao," she greeted loudly with her eight-year-old eldest son who was taking her younger brother and sister outside, and turned to Ran Jia and explained: "Find a few more people to accompany you, I'm afraid that the group of Diao people in the village and Pingyi's in-laws and parents will embarrass you." ”
Ran Jia got up and responded, "I'll take a look, and I'll be back later." ”
As soon as she walked out of the house, An Xuning, who was leaning under the eaves and holding a knife silently, immediately stood up straight and walked over, and said in a deep voice: "I'll go with you." ”
Ran Jia pursed her lips and nodded, and led Song Li'an to the village.
"Aunt Ran Jia, will you really take Yun Xu Hao away?" Song Li'an looked at her with his head tilted and full of expectation.
"Yes, I'm his aunt," Ran Jia said with a smile.
"But Aunt Ran Jia will also marry and have children, and Yun Xuhao's mother is married and has a little doll, so she can't continue to love him." Song Li'an said worriedly, "If you can't take care of him, just call him to my house, I can't promise anything else, but if I have a mouthful, there will be no shortage of him." ”
Ran Jia was amused and moved when she heard it, she stroked Song Li'an's head, chuckled and said: "No, even if I marry, that person must be able to accept him and treat him as my own son, otherwise, I will depend on Hao'er for my life." ”
"Well, that Yun Xu Hao has a good life," he said happily, his steps were cheerful, "Yun Xu Hao is not as big as my sister Xiao Yue, so he has to follow the eldest child to the mountains to collect firewood and dig wild vegetables, and also wash clothes, and be bullied by the brothers and sisters of that family." His stepfather is usually fine, but as soon as he drank alcohol, he beat him behind his mother's back.
Yun Xuhao didn't dare to tell his mother, for fear that his mother and younger brothers would have nothing to eat. ”
Ran Jia was so distressed that her brows couldn't help trembling, that was the only bloodline of her brother who gave her a life, and the three-year-old baby was so ruined. She quickened her pace, and before she reached the courtyard, she heard a sharp and invective voice from an old woman who pierced through the clouds: "You little rabbit cub, you can't do anything like asking for meat with a mouth, and the old lady keeps you for white rice?"
Didn't your grandmother die as a protector? You are the little ancestor of their family, you are really a virtue with your mother, and you can't beat a fart with ten sticks! ”
As she spoke, she raised the firewood in her hand and grabbed the thin boy and was about to wave it over.
But her hand was pinched in halfway, and she cried out in pain, "Who are you!" ”
Ran Jia looked at the child who was trembling with frightened eyes closed but gritted his teeth and didn't call, he was thin and small, almost the same as the appearance of two years ago, she hurriedly stepped forward and snatched the person into her arms, looking at the broken clothes on his body, as well as the scars of the old and the new, the anger in her heart reached the highest point.
She suppressed that anger, hugged the person lightly in her arms, and said in a gentle voice: "Hao'er, I am your aunt, I will take you home." ”
The little guy quietly opened his eyes and saw Ran Jia, who was bent at him, although his nose and mouth were covered, he still exuded brilliance, "Are you a fairy in the sky?" Did you hear Hao'er's words and take me to see my grandparents, father, and aunt? ”
"I'm not a fairy, I'm your aunt, my aunt is still alive," Ran Jia stroked his cheek, and almost didn't use much force to pick him up.
"Yun Xuhao, this is really your aunt, she said she would take you away, I love you well!" Song Li'an said with a smile, "No one will dare to beat you in the future, and you won't be allowed to eat and work!" As he spoke, he grimaced at the old lady and hid behind An Xuning's tall and burly man, feeling a little sad.
If Dad and Grandpa are still alive, they will definitely be like Uncle An, protecting everyone from being bullied by this group of wicked people.
The old lady looked dark and thin, her cloudy eyes purred on several people, and she sneered, "Yo, are you really the aunt of this rabbit cub?" However, you didn't care about the two of them before, and now you come and say take them away? We managed to take care of his eating, drinking, and Lazar for more than two years. She knew that Ran Jia was determined to take Yun Xu Hao away, so she prepared to open her mouth.
Ran Jia's eyebrows and eyes also cooled, and she said lightly: "That's for sure, speaking of which, you also saved me some expenses, Hao'er doesn't have a single old clothes for a year, the food he eats is a nest mixed with chaff, he lives in a sandwich road, and he still works on weekdays, so it can be offset by how to say it."
Moreover, in order to save money, you did not register him at the beginning, alas, I have to pay a sum of money to get a new household registration for him. ”
"You," the old lady said that she didn't know how to refute, and she gritted her teeth and said hatefully, "Anyway, he has been in my house for two years, and if you don't come up with a hundred taels of silver, don't think of taking him away!" ”
Ran Jia didn't do anything yet, Yun Xuhao whispered: "Auntie, I'm doing well here, really." ”
Although the little guy is only more than three years old, he has experienced a lot of things, and the Yun family and the Song family remember the friendship between his grandparents and his father and aunt, take care of him quite a lot, often secretly help him, enlighten him, and teach him the truth of dealing with people. He already knew what the concept of one hundred taels was, one acre of land yielded two seasons, and after deducting the export grain, he could only sell it for two taels of silver. One penny and two steamed buns, one hundred taels is also a sky-high price for the current Yun family and the Song family.
"Mother, just let Hao'er's aunt take him away," Pingyi, who heard the news, stroked the door frame, looked at Ran Jia in the courtyard, and teary-eyed, "If you don't agree, I will die here, without me, you are not Hao'er's anyone, his aunt still has to take him away!" ”
"You dead star!" The old lady was so angry that she almost fell on her back, she wanted to hold Pingyi and pinch Ran Jia, but now she was pinched. She took a deep breath: "Twenty taels, the girls and boys in the village who sell the death deed are all at this price......"
"Mother, are you not going to give me a way to live," Pingyi said quietly, and as she spoke, she had the momentum to hit the wall.
"Two taels, two taels can't be less, I really owe you both!" She was so angry that she stomped her foot and hurriedly said.
"Hao'er Niang," Ran Jia wanted to call her sister-in-law, but she was afraid of causing trouble to Pingyi, so she shouted: "I can still take out two taels of silver, and I will treat him as filial piety to you." Saying that, she took out two taels of silver and threw them to the old lady, hugged Hao'er and walked out, and when she arrived at Pingyi, her eyes were red and she choked and said, "I'll go to Song's house with Hao'er first, you clean up something for him." ”
Yun Xuhao tightly tugged on Ran Jia's collar, held back tears and said to Pingyi: "Mother, Hao'er can't serve in front of you in the future, you have to take care, Hao'er has no father and grandma, you and my aunt are my only relatives." ”
Hearing her son who was less than four years old say such words, Pingyi's heart was broken, if so, if her husband was still there, their family of three would be happier than ever.
She clenched her fists tightly and nodded vigorously: "Okay, my mother will take good care, you also have to listen to your aunt's words, and in the future, you will grow up healthy and happy in the future, and your mother will be relieved." ”
