Chapter 146: Two persuasions
Mrs. Qian's choked voice lasted for a long time in Lianjia, and it was not until the time of the lamp that it gradually stopped. After Mrs. Qian cried out the depression in her heart, Cui'er persuaded Mrs. Qian fiercely, but she barely stabilized Mrs. Qian's mood.
"Sister Cui'er, let you see ...... smile" Mrs. Qian thought of her tears just now, wiped her tears with a red face, and said embarrassedly.
"It's okay, my sister-in-law didn't treat me as an outsider, so she told me this, and now that my sister-in-law's depression has dissipated, I should be happy." Cui'er looked at Mrs. Qian's relieved appearance, and she was very happy for her.
"I'll go get you some water to wash your face, see it's not early, let's rest early after dinner."
Cui'er saw what Mrs. Qian was about to say, and hurriedly took her hand and said, "Sister-in-law, don't see me, we just said that from now on, when the eldest brother's body gets better, you will live in our house with peace of mind, and when the spring begins next year, if you want to buy a field or something, then let Qingshan work with the eldest brother." ”
"Sister......" Mrs. Qian looked at Cui'er's sincere appearance, and no longer shirked, this is exactly what her family needs, where can she refuse? inherited Cui'er's love, but it was not good to make Cui'er tired anymore, so he asked his eldest son Yufu to help him fetch water, for fear of tiring Cui'er.
Cui'er looked at the sky outside, because of the snow, the sky was not bright, but she could also see that it was already evening, Cui'er was pregnant with a child and couldn't help but be hungry, and thought that the shopkeeper Qian's family was injured and small, and it was time to eat more, so she didn't stop Yufu from fetching water, let Mrs. Qian rest in the house for a while, and she went to the kitchen.
A meal of braised pork at noon was eaten by the whole family, and Cui'er thought that the money shopkeeper and his family were in trouble. Not to mention that there is no oil and water in the stomach, the body must be weak, thinking that it is better to make another meat dish.
Cui'er looked around and felt what meat dishes to make, waiting to look at the home-made bacon and smoked rabbit meat hanging in the kitchen. Cui'er had an idea, at this time, it happened to stew a rabbit meat, and put some tender Chinese cabbage in it, which was nourishing and delicious, and not as greasy and dry as at noon, so it should be better for the body of the money shopkeeper.
After thinking about what to cook, Cui'er began to get busy, and even Qingshan came back with Yufu to fetch water, so he also followed Cui'er to the kitchen to help Cui'er.
In the east room, there was only the money shopkeeper lying on the kang without saying a word, but his nails were deeply sunk in the palm of his hand. Mrs. Qian, who was crying very sleepily, and Qian Yufu, who suddenly changed her family and were a little at a loss.
Mrs. Qian looked at Qian Yufu's slightly childish face with a little trepidation, she stretched out her hand and patted Qian Yufu's shoulder, "Child, our family has encountered some difficulties. But it's okay to have your father and mother worry about this, you're still young, help your mother take care of your brother, and you can learn the rest. ”
"Yes, mother!" Qian Yufu nodded in response, looking at his mother's face, which seemed to be a few years older in an instant. Qian Yufu secretly hated that he was incapable, if he was as capable as the old man of the Qian family, his father and mother would not be so aggrieved.
The little boy clenched his fists, and a bold idea swelled in his heart, one day. I have to use my own ability to take care of my parents and younger brothers, as well as the Lian family who rescued my family in danger, so that they can have no worries about food and clothing, and no one can bully them anymore.
"Good boy. Let's go see Yugui and them, after sleeping for a long time, they should also wake up. Mrs. Qian watched her son's face fade away, with a little resolute look, and felt a little comforted in her heart.
Mrs. Qian looked at Qian Yufu who walked out of the house, and her heart was slightly relieved, even if she and Xianggong were expelled from the Qian family, there would be no big achievements in the future, but the two children of Yufu and Yugui were still good, with them, there was hope for their own family.
Mrs. Qian couldn't help but look at her father-in-law lying on the kang, and when she saw his tightly furrowed brows, as well as the shocking bloodstains under the clenched fist, her originally relaxed mood suddenly became entangled...... The master of his own family who has lost his faith is now full of pain, if he can't hold on, how can it be good?
"Master......" Mrs. Qian moved to the side of her father-in-law, stretched out her hand and trembled and grabbed the hand of the shopkeeper of Qian, and held his bloody hand tightly in his hand, and tears fell like beads with broken threads.
"Master, you are ripping out my heart, we have reached this step now, you still don't take good care of your body, what do you want to do!" Mrs. Qian carefully wrapped the hand of the shopkeeper with a handkerchief, but she couldn't help crying bitterly.
As soon as Mrs. Qian spoke, Cui'er heard it and wanted to persuade Mrs. Qian, but was stopped by Lian Qingshan, "Cui'er, let's cook first, Brother Qian must be uncomfortable now, this matter has been in his heart for a long time, and he will get sick, if his sister-in-law tells him, he may be better." ”
"Well, good!" Cui'er thought for a long time, and felt that what Lian Qingshan said was reasonable, so she nodded and agreed, and continued to cook in the kitchen, but her ears were sticking up, listening to what Mrs. Qian was saying in the house.
"Sir...... We have been married for more than ten years, you are the pillar of the family, if you have three long and two short, how can we live as orphans and widows? You don't speak or move now, and you only drink half a bowl of porridge, and you lie on the kang so straight and straight for most of the day, I know that you feel uncomfortable, but I don't know that if you don't have you, my child and I will have no way to live...... Woowoo woo ......"
Mrs. Qian lay on the shoulder of the shopkeeper and cried bitterly, because of the crying in the afternoon, her voice was hoarse at this time, and she was emotional, and she felt a little hoarse. She cried so excitedly because she had been a husband and wife for more than ten years, and she obviously felt the thought of wanting to give up and asking for death in the money shopkeeper, which frightened her.
The money shopkeeper was lying flat on the kang, his eyes were still not open, but a line of turbid tears still flowed down the corners of his eyes, and his wife's crying in the afternoon hit his heart, so that the money shopkeeper who did not want to recognize the reality felt that everything was burned, and he lost the family business he had worked hard to save for more than ten years, lost the blessing of the Qian family that he had relied on since he was a child, and lost the ideals that he had been raising since he was a child.
The money shopkeeper was disappointed earlier. I thought about it, but thinking that the child was young and his wife was helpless, he could only grit his teeth and hold on, but he couldn't convince himself. can only lie on the kang and stand upright, not daring to face this cruel reality.
Now, I feel that my wife, who has always been optimistic and strong, is crying like a tearful person in her arms, and the miserable and helpless appearance makes the heart of the shopkeeper ache one by one, and his hand still can't help but tremble and lift it up, and gently strokes Mrs. Qian's hair.
The reality is so cruel that I can't change it and can't see it. But he can't really leave this delicate wife and young son, and now he is no longer the well-known money shopkeeper in Shili Town, he can only humbly hide under the eaves of the Lian family to live, the money shopkeeper sighed in his heart, although he did not want to accept the reality. But he didn't dare to give up his life easily.
"Old man......" felt the touch on her head, and Mrs. Qian's heart was relieved and she cried even more. It's just that the crying just now was desperate, but now it has a little expectation, and Xianggong stretched out his hand to respond to himself, which means that he will live hard, right?
Cui'er hid in the kitchen and listened to the movement in the room, only to feel that her heart was sour. She dropped the kitchen knife in her hand, plunged into Lian Qingshan's arms, and hugged Lian Qingshan and sobbed silently, this crying had nothing to do with difficulties, just simply worried about the Qian family and moved by Sister-in-law Qian.
Lian Qingshan gently patted Cui'er's back to help her breathe. Thinking about the current situation of the money shopkeeper, it is better to persuade him more, so he made up his mind to carry Cui'er and Mrs. Qian behind his back to have a conversation between men.
Cui'er only cried for a short while, and then she held back her tears. Suppressing emotions is not good for pregnant women, but crying is also not good for children, Cui'er cried for a while to disperse the depressed emotions in her chest, and then she was happy again, so that Lian Qingshan waved a knife to chop the smoked rabbit, and she finished the dinner neatly.
At dinner, the children, who were not able to figure out the situation very well, saw the stewed rabbit meat, and naturally cheered again, and rushed to the table to wait for dinner, and the money shopkeeper who had been crying for a long time, although his body was still a little uncomfortable, he also opened his eyes and sat on the edge of the table, and no longer closed his eyes and ignored the appearance, but the loneliness in his eyes was still embarrassing in Lian Qingshan's eyes.
After dinner, Yufu took the children out to play in the snow, and when Cui'er accompanied Mrs. Qian to make a mattress in the Westinghouse, Lian Qingshan brought a bowl of hot tea and put it next to the shopkeeper Qian.
The shopkeeper looked at the black window outside in a daze, smelled the fragrance of tea and turned his head, looking at Lian Qingshan looking outside like him, knowing that he was trying to persuade himself, but he felt very uncomfortable in his heart, and he didn't want to speak, so he only looked down at the tea leaves floating in the water, the green color was his favorite in the past six months, but it was also the fuse that he had come to this point, Lianjia's specialty - green tea.
"Brother Qian, I know that you are uncomfortable now, and I also understand the feeling of unpaid ambitions, between us men, not to say that your two children are still young, nor to say that your sister-in-law is a weak woman, if there is no you, can the three of them go down this door to guard your family business...... Let's just say, as men, when we encounter a big event, we have to stand on top, and we can't let women carry the ......."
Lian Qingshan looked at the money shopkeeper with complicated eyes, he thought that in order to protect General Yang's blood and bones, he had to abandon his ambition to join the army, and fled with the general's wife and the general's orphans, and thought that in order to avoid the pursuit of those people, he had to hide in Tibet and flee back to the mountains of his hometown, and he didn't even dare to go to the county seat.
Lian Qingshan and the shopkeeper Qian talked for a long, long time, at first it was Lian Qingshan himself, the shopkeeper listened to it, and when he said excitedly, Lian Qingshan's voice was very loud, and Mrs. Qian was scared enough, and she was stopped by Cui'er so that she didn't rush to the east house.
Later, the money shopkeeper was able to say a few words, and then later, even Qingshan and the money shopkeeper felt that they were not interested enough to talk, so they turned out half a jar of wine from the house, and drank the wine with the leftovers of the night, and talked for a long time crying and laughing, and then fell asleep soundly.
