Chapter 299: Prelude
Wu Tian faintly heard his father's voice in the house, and remembered that his father's body was sick a year ago, but he lost some of his body, and now his body is not as good as before!
Now that such things happen one after another, my father is afraid that he will worry about it!
Wu Tian, who was a little anxious about his father's body, didn't have time to say hello to Yun Niang in a hurry, so he went out to his home!
Halfway to the road, Wu Tian saw his father rushing to the direction of the family's field, the pace looked hurried and anxious, seeing that his father almost crooked his feet, Wu Tian ran to his father's side in two steps, and supported Uncle Wu's arm with both hands.
"Dad, what are you doing? Slow down! What should I do if I fall? Didn't Dad worry about being a son? ”
Uncle Wu's feet were almost knocked by the stones on the road because of his hurry, who knew that his eldest son would be behind him, and he stabilized himself, so that Uncle Wu's heart was stable.
"Boss, why are you here? If you don't go to work for Yun Yatou, what are you doing here? ”
Wu Tian was looking at his father who was okay now, and asked himself why he was here, and then he remembered what he said at Yun Niang's house just now!
"Dad, where are you going in a hurry?"
When Uncle Wu heard his eldest son's words, his face was a little anxious.
"Where else can I go? The village is now spreading that the grain in our field is gone, and my father is here to see if the grain in our field is there! ”
When Wu Tian heard Uncle Wu's words, his face suddenly changed, so that Uncle Wu, who was in a hurry, looked right.
"Boss, do you already know? How could the grain in this field be lost for no reason? We don't believe it, let's go to the field! ”
Saying that, Uncle Wu didn't care about his eldest son, who didn't look good, and turned around and walked directly towards his own field.
It is said that the fields of Uncle Wu's family are not far from the foot of the back mountain, and it takes more than ten minutes to walk from the house.
After a few decades, of course, the current fertile land has been cultivated, and what is planted in that field is no worse than the land in the village!
Uncle Wu now hopes that this year, he will rely on the grain from these acres of land at home to collect it, and then take out some of the family's silver taels and tell the eldest of the family that a daughter-in-law is.
After his wife and himself settled in this village, the old woman left him within two years, and he has been raising his three children by relying on a few acres of wasteland bought from the village chief.
But he has no ability, the children are so old, and he didn't give the three of them a daughter-in-law! Since years ago, he has planned to save all the silver in the family, and marry his daughter-in-law to the eldest this year.
If it weren't for Yun Niang's child who made a fortune, he wouldn't have forgotten the little help his family had given her at the beginning, and he had been taking care of the old Wu family.
Otherwise, he doesn't know when he will be able to marry the eldest daughter-in-law!
Besides, the three of their brothers' monthly wages were all handed over to him, an old man, but he was not willing to take out a penny to use it, and they all saved it well!
Who knew that this year would be written in advance, and when the food at home was not confiscated, he would have to take twice as much silver as before to keep people, which made Uncle Wu's heart scorched!
The family adds up to a total of five taels of silver, and when the money is used to offset military service, the family has no money, let alone marry a daughter-in-law for the boss!
Although he felt a pity in his heart, thinking that this year he was afraid that the eldest would not be able to marry his daughter-in-law again, even so, Uncle Wu did not want his children to die in a place where no one was born and no one died.
Uncle Wu had already made a decision in his heart to take all the silver in the family and pay it over, and most of the grain collected in the house this year, except for the grain tax, was sold into silver for the boss to use for his daughter-in-law!
Uncle Wu, who was planning well, couldn't believe what he heard the villagers say just now.
Why is this good food gone?
Coincidentally, Uncle Wu has been making bamboo baskets and some things in the house to exchange for some money and save them because he wants to marry Wu Tian's daughter-in-law!
At dawn, Uncle Wu heard the sound of the three sons in the house going out, and when he heard no sound outside the door, Uncle Wu got up quickly and picked up the things he made to prepare to go to the county.
Uncle Wu, who was almost halfway through the city, remembered that there were still some bamboo noodles at home that he hadn't taken, so he rushed back again, and heard the words of the people in the village.
Uncle Wu, who didn't believe it, hurriedly returned home with the bamboo basket and those things, and after putting down the things, he went out to prepare to take a look in his own field.
What the hell is going on!
Who knew that when I went out, I met my eldest son!
When Uncle Wu arrived in his field, he saw that the ears of wheat in the field began to turn yellow, and after a while, the grain in the field should be able to be harvested.
Uncle Wu looked at the grain in a row, and the worry in his heart subsided a little, and he turned to look at Wu Tiandao who followed him behind him.
"Fortunately, our family's food is in the field! No, no, no ”
"Daddy."
Knowing his son Mo Ruo's father, Uncle Wu looked at the boss and shouted at himself and stopped talking, so he looked at Wu Tian strangely.
"What's the matter, how do you talk and spit out? What to say! If it's okay, go back and work for Yun Yatou, we can't just take the silver and not work! ”
Wu Tian was stunned when he heard his father's words! Then there was some difficulty.
"Dad, take a good look at the grain in the field."
When Uncle Wu heard the boss's words, he had some bad premonitions in his heart, so he went to the field and looked at the ears of wheat in the field carefully.
At just one glance, Uncle Wu found that there was a problem with the grain in the field, and he eagerly picked up the wheat on the ground and looked at the roots of the rice.
Only then did I find that the rice actually began to turn yellow from the roots, and it was not normal to mature and turn into golden yellow.
In an instant, Uncle Wu's face changed as if he had thought of something! didn't care about the dirt on the ground, so he knelt directly in the ground and dug up the soil in the field.
"Dad, what are you doing? Get up quickly and watch your body. ”
"It's okay, you leave me alone!"
Uncle Wu, who was picking up the dirt on the ground, turned pale all of a sudden, as if he had thought of something terrible, and his lips trembled slightly.
"How so? Isn't God used to seeing us have a good life? Seeing that our family's life is starting to get better, why is the drought starting to start! Isn't this driving us to our deaths? ”
After saying this, Uncle Wu's eyes began to turn a little red, he stood up and looked at the grain in the field, tore off an ear of rice with his hand, and pinched it in his hand, only to see the rice skin in one hand, but not a grain of grain.
Wu Tian looked at his father's appearance, and he was very anxious and worried! Hurriedly stepped forward to help his father's body.
"Dad, it's okay! There's a son! My son will never let you grow old and have a hard time. ”
When Uncle Wu heard Wu Tian's words, he let go of Wu Tian's hand, shook his head, and said in despair.
