Chapter 33: Pressing Liu's
A tael of silver a day? The annual expenses of an ordinary farmer are only four or five taels of silver, right?
Liu Changdi gasped, he sold the house and land, and he couldn't save enough money for medicine for these two months, and he suddenly retreated in his heart, but thinking that the sheep in the family were all bought by catkins, and he retreated when he got the favor of others, it was simply too inhuman.
Liu Changdi gritted his teeth and nodded: "Hualangzhong, let's open ginseng for three days, for this baby, I have to do my best, I will borrow silver, as for the future, it will depend on the creation of this baby." ”
Liu Changdi raised his legs and went home to get the silver, and his two legs were like stepping on a deep snow nest, twelve points heavy.
Liu Changdi thought in his mind, even if the medicine money for three days also costs four taels of silver, his family's silver is still a few dollars short of saving together, this dark night, if you can't borrow it, you have to sell the goat to the old He family at a low price, the old He family's daughter-in-law has no milk after giving birth to the baby, and just asked Liu Changdi where to buy the goat.
It's just that in this way, the girl Liu Yue will be bitter again, eating egg yolks and drinking millet porridge.
Just thinking about it, there were several torches shining in front of him, and Zhao Yinsheng and the others were escorting the two Liu sisters back to the Liu family.
As soon as he saw the catkins, the willow causeway greeted him as if he had met the backbone of the main body, and told him what had happened.
The eyes of the willow catkins were deep and deep, like a beast in the dark night, although they were not angry or threatening, but they were full of chill through the bones, and they groaned for a long time before they said to Liu Changdi: "Uncle Changdi, do you still want Liu Mao to succeed you and your aunt as a son?" ”
"Huh?" Liu Changdi hesitated suddenly, Liu Mao's body was there, and he couldn't see death without help, but he went backwards for a day or two, and it took a long time......
After hesitating for a while, Liu Changdi nodded heavily and said, "Su'er, I don't have anything to say, but I have to tell the truth in front of me, and I can't coax you." You also know the situation of my family, I can only use as much strength as I can, and when I go back in a while, I will sell the dairy sheep and prescribe medicine to the baby, but later...... You also know, I still have to think about your aunt and Yue'er, don't blame your uncle...... But Uncle can guarantee that he will never treat Mao Mao badly in eating and drinking, and if there is Yue'er to eat, there will be Mao Mao to eat......"
can agree to inherit the "bottomless pit" like willow hair at this time, the willow causeway is already benevolent and righteous, and the willow catkins are already grateful, how can they be demanding?
Liu Wu took Liu Changdi's hand and said: "Uncle Changdi, sheep can't be sold, Yue'er still relies on it to have a bite to eat." The three five coins of silver that are missing for medicine, you go to Aunt Zhao to borrow them first, and say that I will let you borrow them. You take the silver and give one of the chickens I sent a few days ago to Lixia and Mrs. Liu, and talk about today's events and the succession. I'll go back to Liu's house first, and whether I can achieve it depends on today's ......"
Liu Changdi obediently turned around and hurried away.
Liu Wu looked at the direction of the Liu family, with an indifferent face, his fists clenched tightly, and he secretly made up his mind, my Liu Wu's principle is that everything must not be endured, you pit me, I will harm your whole family.
Now, I'm panicking in my heart, but you are still secretly having fun at home, this result is very bad, and my sister is very unhappy.
Liu Wu entered the door of Liu's courtyard with a black face, and saw that the doors of each room were closed, ignoring it, so he simply took the torch from Zhao Ergang's hand and smiled defiantly in the direction of each room.
This smile, under the reflection of the torch, blooms with a confident look, and it is like a ghost, which makes people unclear.
Soon, Liu Fu held the torch, walked to the stack of firewood that was as tall as a person in the corner of the wall, and handed the torch over with a smile.
Now that the weather is dry and the north wind is blowing, once this firewood is lit, it will take advantage of the situation.
The Liu family's house was a courtyard surrounded on all sides, and one room caught fire, and all of them were affected, and no one was spared.
Several rooms were originally watching the excitement through the cracks in the windows, but when they saw this, the doors were opened, and they poured into the yard one after another.
Zhao Ergang stretched out his hand to stop him, but was glared back by Liu Wu's eye knife.
Zhou's burning stick hit, Liu Wu not only did not dodge, but also met the head of the stick, as if he was hit and fell to the ground, with the kung fu of the fall, the hand wiped the wound on the shoulder, and the wound bitten by the mustache dog oozed blood again.
Liu Wu wiped the blood on one hand, raised his hand and wiped the blood on his face, and when everyone saw her again, the blood was already paste, like a ghost, which scared everyone.
The cry of the catkins instantly pierced the entire night sky, and she cried: "Grandma, it's not good for the catkins, I didn't pick up the firewood today, spare the catkins......
A few words made Zhou's clouds foggy, looking at the blood on Liu Wu's face, he also drew a soul in his heart, he has been teaching his granddaughter with a burning stick for many years, this accurate head, this strength The door is clear, why is it bleeding? Let the villagers see it, maybe they will scold themselves for treating the third room harshly!
Zhou's blood surged, and he said angrily: "You little lady who sued the wicked person first, stirring up the family is not virtuous, what are you going to do?" I don't see anyone who dies one day, and I have to light a fire to go to the house when I come back? You should also be killed! ”
Liu Wu cried even louder, tears flowed down in strings, and he knelt on the ground with a "plop", crying breathlessly and said: "Grandma, how dare I light a fire and go to the room?" Su'er is worried that tomorrow's eldest brother will use more firewood, I want to see if the firewood is enough, Su'er is wrong, today I and Ya'er didn't pick up the firewood, because we met the mustache dog at the foot of the mountain, fortunately your uncles rescued ......"
Someone at the gate of Liu's courtyard was already probing his brain to see the excitement, and Zhou said hurriedly: "As soon as you go for a day, who knows where you went crazy?" ”
Liu glanced at Zhao Ergang slightly, and said sourly: "You said it, who knows if it was a private meeting with which wild man?" ”
Qiao Shi pulled Liu Xiao's cuffs, this can be said, but it shouldn't come out of the mouth of a yellow flower girl, otherwise how will you marry in the future?
Qiao Shi snorted lightly and said: "Escape from the mouth of the mustache dog, sure enough, this life is hard enough......"
Liu Wu ignored Qiao's family, but looked at his uncle Liu Changtan, who had been silent, with tears in his eyes, and said cowardly: "Uncle, Uncle Yinsheng asked Brother Erzhu to bring a letter to the family before he went up the mountain, why didn't grandma and the big guy, as well as my mother, know that me and Ya'er were in danger?" ”
Liu Changjiang's eyes flickered, avoiding everyone's eyes and said: "Oh, home, home is busy, I forgot, I forgot......"
"Forgot?" Liu, who was secretly sad, raised his voice when he heard this, and said angrily: "Changtan, this person's life is a matter of heaven, you, why did you forget?" ”
Chen saw that his man was stunned silently by the Liu family, who had always been a wretch, and said angrily: "Third sister-in-law, what you said, you don't know what your son is like?" You're busy with your son......"
Liu didn't cry but laughed: "Busy work? From the time Liu Mao fell into the ice hole to the time I went home to invite Langzhong, I just wanted to ask, what are you doing in the house one by one? Liu Mao sees a doctor, and the money refuses to come out; The catkins were killed, and they refused to come out! Are you still Maomao and Xu'er's aunts and uncles? ”
When Chen heard this, his voice was gone, and he said in a sharp voice: "Third sister-in-law, you have to speak with your conscience, I didn't pay?" I took out all the dowry, and you don't need it; Besides, Changtan didn't say that the catkins were in danger? He is thinking about the entire Lao Liu family! On the mountain in winter, ordinary hunters may not come back alive, let alone ordinary peasant men? Wouldn't it be better to go to one, to take one! Do you want the entire Liu family to be a widow like you?! ”
"You ......" Liu was so angry that he couldn't speak, it turned out that where was "forgot", he was afraid that he would go up the mountain to find Liu Wu in distress, so he didn't know about Liu Wu's distress, and it really made people's hearts cold.
Liu Mao stood up, stumbled to Liu, took Liu's hand and said: "Mother, it turns out that the Liu family doesn't want to save and save me and Maomao, if yes, if yes, Maomao and I are gone, you, you promise, promise Xu'er, take care of Ya'er, don't let Ya'er have another miss...... After speaking, his head tilted and fell into Liu's arms.
Liu was stunned, and in the palm of his hand, there was still bright red blood from the catkins, which pierced his eyes.
Liu's head was like an electric shock, and his ears were filled with Liu Ya's desperate crying, as if he had returned to the powerlessness of Liu Changhe before he left her.
Liu handed over the catkins to Liu Ya, walked up to Hua Langzhong in a daze, and said, "Hua Langzhong, please show Su'er again and save her......"
Hua Langzhong sighed and said: "Changhe daughter-in-law, I am also in the Liu family around me, and I will take a look, but this medicine money and consultation fee can't be dragged like this, right?" Why don't you wait for the Long Beach brothers to borrow the silver and come back? ”
Hua Langzhong is also helpless, he is old and young, facing the poor people in ten miles and eight villages, if he always pities others, wouldn't his own family want to drink the northwest wind?
Liu looked at the empty courtyard gate, where was the shadow of Liu Changdi? The Liu family is not far from home, and if he came back, he should have come back a long time ago. He didn't come back, which can only show that Liu Changdi didn't borrow silver at all, you know, a few days ago, because of buying dairy sheep, he had borrowed the entire Liuhe Village, and now I'm afraid there is no way to borrow.
Seeing that Liu was stunned, Liu Wu's eyes rolled, his body trembled like a convulsion, and he said vaguely: "Dad, Xu'er and Maomao are here to accompany you......"
Then he "fainted" again.
Liu Ya was so frightened that she shouted, "Grandpa Hua, please, take a look at my eldest sister." ”
Hua Lang Zhong walked in front of the catkins, lifted the eyelids of the catkins with his fingers, and the eyeballs under the eyelids couldn't help but drip, and the center of the flower lang moved, and he groaned on his face: "This baby, first scared by the mustache dog, and then was hit in the head, I am afraid that there will be more than one auspicious......
When Liu Ya heard this, she suddenly cried even more, in this night sky, it was not miserable, I didn't know, I thought that the Liu family was not a sick person, but a dead old man, and even Liu Ya secretly gave Liu Ya a thumbs up.
Liu Fu is like this, but she just wants to break the Liu family's illusion about the Liu family, if she doesn't stand on her side, it will be useless to toss herself.
Liu looked at the courtyard gate with the last glimmer of hope, but there was still no shadow of the willow causeway, and the ginseng tonic of the willow hair in the medicine pot was bubbling up.
