Chapter Twenty-Eight: Joy Again
Inferences are inferences, but Qingbao has no evidence in her hand to say that there is a problem with that family, and even if she has evidence, who would listen to a six-year-old child? Qingbao believes that even if she tells Xia Yu her suspicions now, Xia Yu, who is eager to get rid of a poor family, will not listen to Xia Yu at all, and may bite Xia Qi back, saying that she is jealous.
Qing Bao was silent.
Huang Liuniang looked at her daughter who was showing off her flowers and was sad, but Li smiled proudly: "Sixth sister, Ming'er is the day of Jiyu'er, and your eldest brother and I are specially here to invite you to the banquet." This is a happy thing, Ming'er, you and your brother-in-law will take the children with you, so that the children can also have a good meal, and there are enough big fish and big meat. ”
Huang Liuniang withdrew her gaze from her daughter, wiped the corners of her eyes and said, "We won't go, in case the children make a mistake, and then make the eldest girl unhappy." Ming'er is her good day, let her live a beautiful day. ”
Li didn't talk about it anymore, obviously she didn't really want to let her sister-in-law's family go, she just meant it.
Uncle Huang took out a small ingot of silver from his arms, handed it to Huang Liuniang and said: "Sixth sister, the eldest brother knows that your family still has a little money when he thinks of the house, you take these two taels of silver, build the house as soon as possible, the second pillar is not small, it's time to plan for the child." ”
When Li saw that Uncle Huang actually gave his sister-in-law two taels of silver, his face sank as soon as he brushed it, obviously, Uncle Huang had not discussed this matter with her in advance.
"Big brother, I don't want this money, you keep it, add makeup to the eldest girl!" Seeing that her brother was still worried about herself, Huang Liuniang choked up when she spoke.
Uncle Huang stuffed the silver into Huang Liuniang's hand, and sighed: Sixth sister, I am your eldest brother, we are brothers and sisters of the same mother, what are you polite to your eldest brother. Take it, and if you don't take it, you'll be angry. ”
Huang Liuniang wiped her tears and put away the silver.
Li twisted his face unhappily and stopped looking at the brother and sister.
After staying for a while, the impatient Li stood up and said that he was leaving, and Xia Yu happily followed behind Li and left without looking back. has been here for such a long time, from beginning to end, Xia Yu didn't call her father or mother.
It seems that she never knew the poor couple in front of her.
After Xia Yu left, Huang Liuniang and Xia Shouping probably felt uncomfortable, and the two of them worked silently, without saying a word, not at all like they did on weekdays.
Qingbao knew that Xia Yu had broken their hearts, this girl was too conscienceless. There is nothing wrong with wanting to live a good life, what is wrong is that she should not forget who gave birth to her and who raised her.
I couldn't bear to see them sad, in order to divert their attention, Qingbao said: "Mother, so much money, enough for our family to build a new house, right?" ”
When it came to building a new house, Huang Liuniang mentioned a little spirit: "Xia Shouping, the money is enough, do you say we should build a new house?" ”
Xia Shouping still said the same sentence: "I listen to you." ”
Huang Liuniang thought for a while and said, "I'll be farming soon, I'm afraid it's hard to find helpers." Let's wait for the summer to build it, when there are many idlers. ”
"Okay, I'll listen to you."
Qingbao asked longingly: "Mother, how many rooms shall we build?" I'm going to sleep in a room by myself. ”
Huang Liuniang broke her good wish with one sentence: "Let's build three rooms, and in the future, the second pillar and the third pillar will have a place to live." You little girl, you still have to live with your parents. When you are older, your mother will build you a wing, and you can live alone. ”
When she grows up, I'm afraid that she will be engaged and married, so what's the use of breaking the room and not building it.
It's better to think about it, how to make money, make money to support yourself, make money to build a room for yourself, that's realistic.
The third day of the third month of March is the day when the Huang family officially succeeded Xia Yu.
If it is a step-heir, then it is necessary to inform the clansmen with great fanfare, and the name of the heir must be recorded in the ancestral tree.
Heirs, because they are not recorded in the ancestral genealogy, they are not so formal.
The Huang family just set up a few tables of banquets at their own house, so that Xia Yu could change his mind and recognize his relatives.
On this occasion, as Xia Yu's parents, Huang Liuniang and Xia Shouping should be going to participate.
But for the sake of her pitiful self-esteem, Huang Liuniang resolutely did not go.
In her opinion, it is a shameless thing to pass on her children because her family is poor, which makes her a little unable to raise her head in front of her mother's family.
But although she didn't go, her heart did.
If you don't give up at home all day, you forget about it, and you don't have a preface to it.
It seems that she still has a lot of feelings for this eldest daughter, think about it, how can a mother not worry about her children? I've been raising her for 14 years, and now my daughter is calling someone else's father, how can she feel good?
But no matter how sad she was, Xia Yu still went out, and she had to live the same life.
The Huang family came to make a fuss, although it suppressed Mrs. Xia's arrogance, but after the Huang family left, Mrs. Xia began to think about finding her lost face.
The day after the Huang family left, Mrs. Xia announced that she was sick.
not only let his son and daughter-in-law serve soup and medicine, but also ask the daughters-in-law to cook and send it over every day, and if the food is not satisfactory, they will scold their son and daughter-in-law for being unfilial.
Fortunately, Mrs. Xia has three daughters-in-law, and the three of them take turns to serve each other every day, which can also reduce the burden a little.
The eldest daughter-in-law betrayed the name of the thief and made the Xia family lose people, and she couldn't look down on it. The third daughter-in-law embarrassed her with her mother's family, and she got angry when she saw it. The fourth daughter-in-law misbehaved, and she didn't bother to look at her.
She couldn't look down on her three daughters-in-law, and she scolded and trained them all day long, and it didn't take long for the three daughters-in-law to be miserable.
After Huang Liuniang came back from being wronged, she always scolded Xia Shouping for being angry, Xia Shouping knew that her mother was looking for fault, and she didn't dare to fight back, not only did she bear all of his wife's anger, but also accompanied him with a smile every day.
Qingbao couldn't get used to Mrs. Xia bullying Huang Liuniang, so she had to give Huang Liuniang a trick, and handed over the errand of delivering food to Xia Shouping, and then asked Xia Shouping to say that Liuya had a bad headache these days, and Huang Liuniang had no time to deliver food at home.
In the face of the food sent by her son, Mrs. Xia's pickiness was significantly reduced, which made Huang Liuniang breathe a sigh of relief.
Mrs. Xia's tossing, coupled with Xia Yu's succession, made Huang Liuniang exhausted, and fell ill within a few days.
has worked hard for many years, is stiff when sick, and has given birth to six children in a row, which makes Huang Liuniang's body very empty, and this disease is very serious.
However, when Dr. Lin was diagnosing the pulse, he diagnosed that Huang Liuniang was pregnant with her seventh child, and she wanted to treat the disease and maintain the fetus.
Xia Shouping had no choice but to borrow a car and take Huang Liuniang to the city medical center and ask a famous doctor to diagnose the pulse.
As a result, the consultation fee and the medicine money were added together, not only the newly obtained four taels of silver were spent, but even Xia Shouping and Huang Liuniang's savings for many years were also spent.
When Huang Liuniang learned that her illness had cost her money to build a house, she beat her stomach with her fists in anger, crying and scolding this little life that had cost her all her savings.
Afraid that she would knock the child off, Qingbao quickly grabbed her hand.
In every sense of the word, the child is innocent.
The time to come into this world is not something it can choose.
To blame, only blame this backward world for not having such a great invention as TT.
An illness spent all the money in the family, and it came to naught to build a house for Erzhu to marry a daughter-in-law, which made Huang Liuniang's heart like ashes, lying on the kang all day without moving, and she didn't even bother to speak, but the morning sickness was very serious, what she ate and vomited something, whenever she tossed her miserably, Huang Liuniang would beat her stomach hard, hating the little life in her stomach and making her suffer so much.
Qingbao knew that Huang Liuniang was venting her anger with the child in her belly.
After saving a lifetime of money, I thought I could build a house for my son and marry a daughter-in-law, but as a result, because I had to take care of the little life in my belly, the medicines prescribed by the doctor were all good medicines, and the little money in the family was already very fortunate to be able to pay for those medicines.
Huang Liuniang was completely depressed, and Xia Shouping had to take over the burden of taking care of the children and cooking, and he was busy every day.
The four pillars only need to be fed, and under the leadership of the second pillar, they are still running wildly outside.
Only Qingbao didn't dare to go out, and looked at the lifeless Huang Liuniang in the house every day, for fear that she would go crazy and really beat the little life in her stomach.
When he was bored, Qingbao began to think about the way to make money again.
The family is almost out of the last meal, how can you do it without making money.
On this day, Sanzhu's birthday, Xia Shouping boiled two eggs for Sanzhu.
Sanzhu was very sensible and didn't eat any of them, so he gave one to Wuzhu and handed another one to Qingbao.
Qing Bao said in his heart, although the family is poor, these little brothers are really sensible, they have never eaten alone, and they all know that they let their younger brothers and sisters.
"Third brother, eat it, I'm not hungry yet." Qingbao stuffed the egg to Sanzhu again.
Sanzhu peeled off the eggshell, sent it to Qingbao's mouth and said, "Liuya, you take a bite first." ”
couldn't bear to brush the little brother's intentions, Qingbao took a small bite, and even the egg yolk was not exposed.
Sanzhu sent the egg to Sizhu's mouth again: "Sizhu, you also take a bite." ”
The brothers and sisters here are sharing an egg lovingly, and Wuzhu, who has almost eaten up an egg over there, muttered: "It's delicious, but it's tasteless, and it's even better when you dip it in salt." ”
This ordinary sentence actually made Qing Bao Daigo feel empowered and suddenly enlightened.
That's right, eggs are not tasty, she can sell flavorful eggs.
Tea eggs, braised eggs, these do not cost anything, although the profit is also thinner, but it is better than a family to sit and eat empty.
It's just that I don't know if there are braised eggs or tea eggs in this society, but even if there is, she can still sell them, big deal, she and Erzhu and they go through the streets and alleys to sell.
Thinking of this, Qing Bao asked Erzhu first: "Second brother, have you ever eaten tea eggs?" ”
"What's a tea egg?" Erzhu asked suspiciously.
"Where's the boiled egg?"
"I haven't eaten it."
After asking, Qingbao felt that he had asked redundantly.
