Chapter 20: Uncomfortable
Su Muge looked at the mansion in front of him, and his brows were furrowed.
It was nearly evening, and it was pitch black inside, even eerily quiet, out of place with the curling smoke rising around it.
Su Muge pushed open the gate of the courtyard erected by the fence and walked in, there was nothing in the courtyard, and there were only three adobe mud houses with very old calendars in the entire courtyard.
In order to make an appearance in front of people, the Zhao family and her two of them will have three taels of silver a month together, and the Zhao family will leave one or two of these money to spend, and the rest will be secretly praised, and at least ten taels of silver will be sent to the Zhang family every year.
Su Muge knew that the Zhang family had a total of three sons and two daughters, all of whom were married, and there were more than a dozen acres of land at home, and I heard the Zhao family say that her uncles were not incapable, and the third uncle was not without the ability to farm at home, and the remaining two uncles were working in the town, and there was some silver money a month, plus the silver given by the Zhao family, it was not difficult to build a few decent houses over the years.
With such doubts, Su Muge pushed open the door of the main house, and a pungent stench came from her nose and made her frown.
The room was so quiet that she could clearly hear faint breathing in her ears.
Someone is inside!
She took out a fire breaker from her body, grabbed the straw on the ground and lit it, and then saw a person lying on a clay kang in the house.
The man on the bed was gray-haired, so thin that his cheeks were sunken, and he lay there, his head like a skeleton without flesh and skin, covered with a completely discernible color, and emitting a foul smell.
Since the Zhao family went to find Su Lun, he has never returned to his parents' house, and Su Muge is not sure whether the person on the bed is Zhang.
Su Muge stepped forward, and the person on the bed seemed to hear the movement and slowly opened his eyes, looking a little blank.
"You brutes, for the money your sister gets back every year, just let me spend my life like this...... Brutes, brutes! The bellows-like sound rang out in the empty room.
Su Muge is not a cold-blooded person, and the old man in front of her makes her feel a little stuffy and uncomfortable.
"Zhao Xiaocui, is this your youngest daughter?"
Su Muge's voice made Zhang's cloudy eyes widen, and his gaze finally looked at her, but unfortunately, because the room was too dark, she could only see a vague trace of emaciated figure.
"You, you ......"
"Grandmother, I'm Mu Ge, your granddaughter."
"Mu, Muge, yes, it's Muge......"
The Zhao family once sent a letter to the Zhang family, and the Zhang family knew some information about the Zhao family and Su Muge.
"Really, really Mu, Mu Ge?!" Zhang's emotions seemed to become excited, and he stretched out his skinny hand from the quilt and grabbed Su Muge.
Su Muge gently held her hand. "It's me, grandmother, my mother asked me to come back to see you, my mother just gave birth to a younger brother and is still in confinement, so I couldn't come back. Grandmother, you wait, I'll go and go back. ”
Su Muge let go of Zhang's hand and turned around and walked out of the courtyard.
It was dark outside, and there was no one in the village, so she walked all the way to the courtyard at the head of the village.
This is the home of the little girl who gave her a ride.
"Aunt, girl, you, why are you here......" The young man in the cart is called Hutou, the eldest son of this family, and he was ashamed and embarrassed when he saw Su Muge.
"I want to buy something from you." Su Muge explained the intention.
A quarter of an hour later, Su Muge returned to the courtyard where the Zhang family was with an oil lamp and a basket.
The oil lamp is not bright, but it can see.
"Grandmother, let's eat something first." She bought two hard-boiled eggs and an oil lamp from Hutou's house, and Erya brought her two steamed buns and a bowl of gruel.
Seeing that Zhang seemed to be a little impatient to open his mouth to drink porridge, Su Muge's eyes sank.
If you take good care of it, where will my grandmother become what she is now!
After eating a bowl of rice porridge and half a steamed bun, Su Muge didn't feed it again.
After eating, Zhang also had some spirit.
"Grandmother, let me show you, the gentleman my father invited me before knew some medical skills, so I secretly learned a little bit from him."
Zhang looked at Su Muge's eyes doting, and did not question her words.
Su Muge diagnosed Zhang's pulse, and the pulse was a little weak, but it must be said that he was about to die, and it was far from that level, Zhang's appearance was more like being deliberately mistreated.
She reached out and lifted the quilt, and when she saw Zhang's leg that had begun to show carrion, the hand holding the quilt tightened!
Up close, you can see a wriggling maggot on her right leg!
"Damn it!"
As he spoke, there was a sound of footsteps outside the courtyard.
