Chapter 2 Poor People's Families
Xuejia Town, a town about 20 miles away from Zhongzhou, in front of a family surnamed Zhang in Zhangfeng Hutong near the Chenghuang Temple in the town, there was a sound of shrews scolding the street. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"Widow Zhang! Listen up! I cherish my brother's promise to be the concubine of the second young master of the Xue family!" As soon as the words fell, there was a fifty-year-old lady at the door of the Zhang family who was pushed out heavily, and there was a threshold at the door. Then, just hearing the sound of "Bang Dong!", the door of Zhang's house was slammed shut.
How could the old lady who was blasted out by the Zhang family swallow this breath? She immediately let out a furious "hum!" and then kicked the door of the Zhang family hard, and then scolded viciously in a louder voice: "Okay, you widow Zhang! I'll wait at home! I'll wait for you to come back that day! I want to see how long you can protect it!"
After saying that, the old lady didn't seem to be angry, and after she kicked the door panel again, she glared angrily, panted and turned away.
At this time, in the courtyard of Zhang's house, about fourteen or fifteen years old, a young brother wearing a coarse linen coat was supporting a middle-aged woman with a pale face and a haggard face. The middle-aged woman looked very excited, and her chest kept rising and falling violently, obviously a little stimulated.
The younger brother looked worried, and while helping the middle-aged woman with his hand, he said to him, "Mother, don't be angry, if you are not feeling well, hurry into the house to rest, the doctor said, you can't blow the wind in this disease." ”
It turned out that this middle-aged woman was the mother of her brother, Zhang.
After listening to his brother's persuasion, Zhang's not only did not lose his anger, but became even more angry. Zhang's elbow shook violently, pushing her brother half a meter away, and then, she said angrily, "Who told you to be good at advocating and agreeing to be the concubine of the second young master of the Xue family! You are really angry with me!"
After finishing speaking, Zhang began to cry, and while crying, she said, "My life is really miserable! My husband left early, and my children are so disobedient!"
When my brother saw Zhang crying, her tears fell involuntarily, she sobbed and said to Zhang, "I asked the doctor, she said that if you don't go to see your illness, you can't be cured, you are my mother, how can I watch you get sick like this." ”
"Sorry brother, you are confused! Don't you know what will happen to being the concubine of the second young master of the Xue family? His evil wife has beaten a few concubines to death? If you really marry him, won't you jump into the fire pit!"
"But, mother, you ......"
Seeing that her brother was still not giving up, Zhang couldn't help but be angry, she was already panting roughly, but her chest suddenly tightened, and then she felt that her breath was stagnant, as if she felt that something was blocking her breath, and she was suffocated by it.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the pity brother hurriedly rushed over and helped Zhang up, and while quickly beating behind her, he said with a concerned expression, "Mother, don't be angry anymore, don't you marry my brother, can't you marry if you don't marry!"
Seeing that Brother Xi dispelled her thoughts, Zhang's excited look eased up, and then she suddenly felt an itch in her throat, and then instinctively let out a cough, and finally spit out the thick phlegm accumulated in her body.
The Zhang family, who finally recovered his breath, began to gasp for breath, and then struggled in pain and said, "Being a mother is a death, and I don't want to see you marry into the Xue family as a concubine, do you understand?"
"Brother Xi understands, mother, hurry up and go in and rest for a while. ”
Before the younger brother helped her mother in, there was another knock on the door, only to hear the sound of "dong dong dong!" sounded, and Zhang cursed again, "That damn Feng Pozi is still coming, please help your mother over quickly!"
"Sister, mother, I'm back, come and open the door!" Before my brother could make any move, a boy's voice came from the door.
"It's the dog who is back, please go and open the door quickly, just go in by yourself for your mother." After speaking, Zhang broke free of his brother's hands, and then slowly walked towards the house.
When the younger brother came to the door, he opened the door and found that the dog was squinting and smiling at himself, and he was gray-faced, and he didn't know where he was going to go again.
"Sister, do you know what I found on the mountain today?" said to Brother Xi with an excited face.
"Hey......" Brother Xi sighed, and said helplessly to the dog, "How many times have I told you, my mother's body is uncomfortable and needs someone to take care of her, don't go to the mountains if you have nothing to do in the future, so that I can still free my hands to go outside to collect work to make money for my mother's medical treatment." ”
"Mother's illness doesn't need to be seen, I found a sacred grass on the mountain today, if my mother eats it, she will definitely get better immediately!" After speaking, the dog took out the handful of weeds that were about to wilt in his hand and shook it in front of his brother.
In this regard, Brother Xi sighed again, and then said, "Let me tell you, don't believe those rumors in the mountains, there really is a divine grass on the mountain, and it has long been lighted by those Taoist masters, how can it be your turn?"
"I won't tell you! If this sacred grass dies in my hands, it will be a sin!" After saying that, the dog ran into the courtyard, and then looked around, and found that there was a clearing in the east corner of the courtyard.
The dog looked happy, so he took out the shovel on his body, and then came to the east corner of the yard, and dug a pit on the ground.
In this regard, Brother Xi shook his head, and then said, "It's really shocking, hey......" After a pause, Brother Xi continued, "I cooked some vegetable porridge today, if you are hungry, come in and eat some." After saying that, my brother went straight into the house.
After the dog planted Qian Lang, he immediately poured some water on him, and then, he put his hands together in front of Qian Lang, and said to him, "The dog knows that you are a divine grass, but my mother is sick and needs to be treated with medicine, so the dog has the courage to invite you down the mountain, if you can cure my mother's illness, the dog will spend his life to take care of you!"
After finishing speaking, the dog ripped off another blade from Qian Lang's body, and then ran into the house.
After entering the house, the dog saw that his brother was sitting next to Zhang, and at that moment, his fist holding the blade couldn't help but tighten a little.
The dog knew very well in her heart that if she begged her sister to give this divine grass leaf to her mother, not only would she not agree, but she might also spoil the good things. At that moment, the dog thought about it and made up his mind in his heart.
Then the dog came to his house. He walked to the stove, lifted the lid of the clay pot containing the porridge, and then picked up a clay bowl from his side and filled it to the brim. Finally, the dog threw the leaf in his hand into the pottery bowl.
After the dog carried a bowl of porridge, he walked into his room. Then, the dog came to the side of Brother Xi and Zhang, and then said to Zhang, "Mother, you should eat this porridge first." ”
Zhang glanced at the dog, with a relieved look in his eyes, shook his head and said, "The dog has grown up and knows that filial piety is the mother, but the mother is not hungry, so the dog will help the mother eat." ”
Brother Xi immediately shook his head and said, "This is specially prepared for my mother, and dogs can't eat it." ”
Zhang patted the back of his brother's hand a little harder, and said with some dissatisfaction, "The dog is thin and weak, and he hasn't eaten a few full meals since he was a child.
Brother Xi turned his head to look at the dog, looked at his weak body, and immediately felt a little unbearable in his heart, so he said, "Since my mother said to eat it for you, then you can eat this bowl, but you can only eat this bowl, and the rest will be left to your mother, you know?"
Obviously, the dog did not anticipate what was happening in front of him at all. Seeing that Zhang was reluctant to eat, the dog panicked, and after a pause, the dog seemed to think of something, and then he took out the two fruits contained in the cloth bag, and then shook it in front of his brother and Zhang's eyes, and then said, "Mother, don't you care about me, you can't help but eat it." ”
When the younger brother saw the fruit in the dog's hand, he snatched it over, and then said to him with some dissatisfaction, "Where did you get this? ”
The dog replied, "I picked them all on the mountain, but I forgot them when I got home, I have already taken a bite of the apple, sister, take the pear to my mother." ”
Zhang immediately shook his head and said, "There are only two fruits, you two can take them and eat them." ”
"Otherwise, what about this pear, you can eat it, what about this big apple, some dogs can't eat it, just let me and the dog be half of each." ”
The dog nodded silently, and then said, "That mother is going to eat this bowl of porridge in a while." ”
