Chapter 21: Xiaobao

Finally, she asked the village chief, "Village chief, can we go in and have a look?" "This ............," the village chief hesitated. Seeing the village chief's hesitation and the crowd in the courtyard, she suddenly knew what the village chief was hesitating. Li Bokang next to him also knew, and when he saw that she also understood, he said to her: "Brother, I'm sleepy, let's go back to sleep first, and we'll come back tomorrow morning." ”

Hearing Li Bokang's words, she knew that he was giving her and the village chief a step, so she immediately answered: "That's it, that's okay." Then he turned to the village chief and said, "Village chief, I'm sorry, my brother is sleepy, then we will go back first, and come to visit them tomorrow morning, what do you think?" The village chief also knew that this was the best and said, "Okay, you can go back and rest first, and it will be the same tomorrow, it's okay." ”

Then the two went back to where they lived, and they didn't say a word all the way. Li Bokang may have also thought of his past through today's events, so he was a little silent. And Yang Xue was just thinking about what had just happened, she now regretted what had just happened, she shouldn't have proposed to see it at that time. Now is the time when people are busy, in case the village chief agrees, it will cause trouble to others, and if she doesn't agree, she is afraid of losing their face, no wonder the village chief hesitated when she proposed. Although she later knew that she shouldn't have brought it up, but the words had already been said and the trouble had been caused, but fortunately, Bokang changed the topic later, otherwise it would have really .......

Therefore, this incident taught her another truth, sometimes good intentions do not necessarily do good deeds, and sometimes they can also cause trouble to people. If there is anything, it is better to say that you should find the right place at the right time. Just like the visit she proposed just now, there is actually no problem, but it shouldn't be brought up when people are busy at that time, but she can talk about it after they have dealt with it more or less, so that it won't cause trouble to people.

The next morning, after washing up and having breakfast, the two packed up their things and put them on the ox cart, and then thanked the host of the night, and led the ox cart to the house last night. They were ready to pay a visit, and then they started on their way.

When I came to the door of Du's house, I saw that there were still many people in their house. It just so happened that the village chief also arrived when they arrived, and he was a little surprised to see them, he thought they wouldn't come. Then the village chief said: "Li Gongzi, you are here to see the ambition, let's go, let's go in together." After saying that, he looked at them.

This time she came out with the name Li Yang, and she added her surname to her surname, and she was talking about Li Bokang's brother when she was outside now. They tied the ox cart to the tree in front of Du's house and followed the village chief inside, and the people in Du's yard looked at them with some curiosity. They all knew that there were two scholars in their village to stay overnight, but many people didn't know what the borrower looked like, so they were still very curious to see that the village chief had brought two people they didn't know.

When the two followed the village chief into the house, they saw a middle-aged man lying on a bed that looked like a newer in the family, his face was pale and bloodless, and his face was still slightly bruised. There was also a woman in her thirties with a child of seven or eight years old sitting on one side, and an old woman sitting on the edge of the bed. Except for the unconscious man lying on the bed and the woman with the child, the other two were crying. But it can be seen that they have been crying for a long time, and they have no sound crying, but the tears are still flowing down, and their eyes are swollen and red.

Among them, the old woman could be vaguely heard muttering: "It's all my fault, it's all my fault, if I hadn't had the ambition, I wouldn't have done this, it's all my fault, why am I still alive, why don't I die." "The child is also crying, the children of poor families have long been in charge, let alone in such a family.

He struggled to get off the woman who was holding him, then walked up to the old woman and said, "Grandma, don't blame you, Daddy will get better, Daddy told me that he will honor you, I will honor you with Daddy, you must live well." After speaking, he wiped his tears with his sleeve. After finishing speaking, he saw the village chief coming and said, "Grandpa the village chief, you are here." Seeing that they were still a little puzzled, he looked at the village chief with puzzled eyes.

The other two looked at them because of the child's words, and the village chief explained it to them again. After that, the child bowed to them again, thanked them, and then turned to look at the village chief.

In this way, he looked at the village chief for a long time, as if he had figured out something, and then opened his mouth to say something that shocked everyone. He said, "Grandpa the village chief, you sold me." Hearing this, he didn't talk about the two of them, but said that the other people in the room were startled by his words, and it was not the village chief who spoke first, but the old woman. She said in a hoarse voice: "No, Xiaobao, this is impossible, your father is just one child, and we are the only one of us." No, absolutely not, I don't agree, don't even think about it, unless I die. The old woman said hurriedly, and grabbed him and took him into her arms.

The village chief also reacted and said: "It's Xiaobao, what your grandmother said is right, don't think about it, there will be other ways." "What's the solution, the doctor said last night, as long as you send your father to a good hospital, you will definitely be saved." Village chief grandpa, I beg you, I don't want my father to die, I want him to live, he has to live. Xiaobao said back.

The old woman said, "No, Xiaobao, no, I can't let you leave me anymore, you want my life." Baby, grandma please, don't say this again, okay, grandma please. Crying as she spoke, she hugged the person in her arms with both hands, as if she was gone as soon as she let go.

Later, I didn't know what I thought of again, so I said again: "By the way, our family still has land, yes, we still have land, let's sell land, and if we sell land, we will have money, so that we will have money." Yes, let's sell the land, let's sell the land............" The woman's voice began to grow quieter, and finally to muttering.

Seeing this, Yang Xue really didn't know what to say, she had only seen it in novels or TV before, and knew that people were not as good as Tian during the Taiping period in ancient times. But that's only seen on fiction TV, and she's never heard of it in her life, let alone that it's real in front of her now, and it's a different feeling to see it with her own eyes. When the child in the old woman's arms heard her words, she cried and said, "But grandma, how will we live after we sell the land, our family only has that little land, what will we eat in the future, grandma, you should sell me." He knew what that little bit of land meant to their family, so he offered to sell him.

Her grandmother, Zhang, also knew the importance of those lands to their family, but she was even more reluctant to let her grandson leave her, especially when her son was still alive and dead. She said: "But Bao, you are the only seedling of our family, how can you live without your grandmother, how can grandma go to see your grandfather and see our ancestors and ancestors." No, your father is like this, I can't sell you, you want grandma's life. God, please let our family go, please, God. Zhang said as he howled.
