"What about you? Grandpa, you want to marry me to Tuesday too? Qiao Wanshi's face was cold, and her hand rubbed on Qiao Dabao's neck, so frightened that the rest of the Qiao family who wanted to say yes didn't dare to say anything.

"Let's discuss this matter again." Finally, Old Man Qiao said.

"Okay, then let's talk about the separation now." Qiao Wanshi said: "It just so happens that Uncle Li Zheng can be a witness here. ”

"Uncle Qiao?" Li Zheng did not immediately agree to Qiao Wanshi, but looked at Old Man Qiao inquiringly.

"Grandpa!!"

"Daddy!!"

"Grandpa, Dabao he ......"

Everyone else also looked at Old Man Qiao.

"Points!" After a long time, Old Man Qiao said, after saying this word, his back was bent, and the whole person seemed to be many years older.

As the saying goes, parents are not separated, although Qiao Wanshi's father and mother are gone, they are still alive, and they are separated at this time...... Old man Qiao was very reluctant in his heart, but Qiao Dabao was in Qiao Wanshi's hands.

And Qiao Wanshi doesn't seem to be the cowardly little girl she used to be, the look in her eyes just now ...... He had only seen him before when his second son was protecting his daughter-in-law.

It's heartless.

They don't dare to bet at all.

"Okay." Hearing their words, Rizheng said.

After speaking, he said: "If you want to split the family, why don't you go and call the elders of your clan first." ”

Most of the rural families are presided over by clan elders.

"......" has lived in modern life for too long, Qiao Wanshi really forgot about this stubble, otherwise she would have called them together when she called Lizheng.

"Hong'an Hongxing Hongming, go and call the clan elder." It was Uncle Qiao who said this.

After saying the word "points", Old Man Qiao seemed to lose his strength, squatting on the ground, the dry tobacco in the pipe was changed again and again, and the whole person was lifeless. With that look, I don't know how much he thinks he attaches importance to Qiao Wanshi's sister and brother, and he thinks that Qiao Wanshi's sister and brother have done something rebellious.

"Why do you want to break up all of a sudden!" When they arrived at Qiao's house, the clan elders hadn't figured out the situation yet.

In their memory, Qiao Wanshi was a well-behaved and even a little cowardly girl, and there was no way to catch up with her in such a rebellious thing as splitting up the family.

But the few boys who called them here all said that Qiao Wanshi wanted to split up.

"It's not that little brute yet......"

"Shut up."

Hearing the old man's question, the old woman subconsciously scolded, and was immediately scolded by the old man.

The old woman was very angry, but she didn't dare to be too arrogant when she was old in the courtyard, so she just glanced at Qiao Wanshi's sister and brother fiercely.

Although several clan elders were surprised, they also set their eyes on Qiao Wanshi.

Qiao Wanshi looked at these clan elders, some of them pitied their sisters and brothers, and some of them praised the stinky feet of the Qiao family and raised eyebrows at them, but Qiao Wanshi still said hello one by one.

Then, under the gaze of everyone, Qiao Wanshi carried Qiao Dabao, who was unconscious, and asked him to stand beside the small stone.

"What are you doing, little brute!!" Seeing Qiao Wanshi put Qiao Dabao on the ground, the old woman was not calm, and other people's hearts were also suspended.

Xiao Shi didn't know what to do, turned his head to look at Qiao Wanshi, Qiao Wanshi ignored the old woman and smiled at Xiao Shi and said, "Don't move." ”

"Hmm." The little stone stood up obediently.

Then, Qiao Wanshi squatted down beside Qiao Dabao, and then she looked up at the people with different expressions in the courtyard, and then met their unclear gazes, pointed to the small stone and Qiao Dabao and said:

"Grandpa, third grandpa, seventh grandpa...... His name was Little Stone, and he was four years old; His name is Qiao Dabao, two years old, you see that the four-year-old Xiaoshi is not as tall as the two-year-old Qiao Dabao, nor is the two-year-old Qiao Dabao fat. The clothes worn by the little stone...... It's no longer possible to see what the bottom material is, it's all covered with patches, and there are two or three ...... on it"

Counting the patches on the small stone clothes, Qiao Wanshi suddenly burst into tears: "It's all patches, layer after layer, I can't count them...... And Qiao Dabao, Qiao Dabao wears silk and satin.

Little stone, come and stretch your hand away......"

"Sister-" Seeing Qiao Wanshi crying, Xiao Shi was frightened and cried, Qiao Wanci ran over and hugged him with tears, Xiao Shi stretched out his hand, Qiao Wanshi pulled out an ugly smile with tears, and continued: "Xiao Shishi's hands are black and dirty, and there are calluses left by work in the palms of his hands, Qiao Dabao's hands are smooth and delicate, and they have been cared for with their hearts. ”

No one noticed when they didn't say it, but now that the two children are standing together, Qiao Wanshi introduced it again, and the contrast was very obvious.

As they endured their miserable cries, everyone in the courtyard fell silent.

The faces of Qiao's family are very ugly, as the saying goes, the ugliness of the family should not be publicized, but Qiao Wanshi ...... The old woman wanted to scold Qiao Wanshi to shut up, but was scolded by the old man, and although the old woman was unwilling, she didn't dare to make another attempt.

And Old Man Qiao suddenly realized at this moment: these three babies are really not doing well.

However, Qiao Wanshi is not finished yet.

She held the hostage Qiao Dabao in one hand, and took Xiaoshi and Qiao Wanci into her arms with the other, and recalled in a pretending relaxed tone: "Xiaoshi's life is hard, my mother died just after giving birth, and Ah Ci and I are luckier than him, and we have enjoyed a few days of happiness."

I remember that at that time, my mother always said that she should do more good deeds and pray for us to accumulate virtues, so ...... When everyone hid their dowry tightly, she took out all her dowry, built a house for the family, and sold land for her brothers and sisters to study...... She also repaired the school and road in the village, if she knew that after her death her children would not be as good as pigs and dogs......

I used to think that although my grandparents didn't like us, they were all our grandparents, and as long as the three of us worked well, they would like us one day. I didn't dare to expect them to treat us like they did to Qiao Dabao, as long as they could give us a bite to eat and drink when we finished our work, and we didn't have to go to sleep in the leaky firewood room...... We were satisfied.

But today, today my grandmother is going to marry me to Tuesday, Tuesday has already killed so many daughters-in-law, they are going to marry me to Tuesday. Probably knowing that I was going to die in the past, they didn't look for a matchmaker or anything, and they didn't come to pick me up on Tuesday, they knocked me unconscious and planned to carry me over with a wooden plank.

It's nothing if I die, but what if I die, they are still so small...... I'm in the underworld, how can I explain to my father. Grandpa, third grandpa, it's not that we want to split up, it's that we can't live without separation. In the end, Qiao Wanshi couldn't cry anymore.

Qiao Wanzi and Xiaoshi also cried a lot.

The people in the village knew that they were not doing well, but they had never felt it so clearly at that moment, especially when there was a Qiao Dabao wearing silk and satin next to him.

It seems that the three sisters and brothers have been miserable.

Even the clan elders who usually praised the stinky feet of the Qiao family were silent.

was already distressed about what happened to them, but when he heard Qiao Wanshi's words, he felt even more sorry for them. Old man Qiao felt a rare guilt, and the Qiao family, who had a little conscience, also lowered their heads.

The separation is determined here.
