Chapter 21: Digging a Pit

"Okay, just give forty-five yuan, Tiantian you take it, but you have to promise not to abuse my granddaughter." Old Man Lu spoke.

"Then you have to write a paperwork, in case your mother-in-law makes a fuss, I don't have so much time and energy to break it up." The village doctor said.

Seeing the old man of the Lu family nodding, the village chief took out a pen and paper and began to write:

In order to protect the flowers of the motherland, Lin Cun Doctor took out forty-seven yuan (two yuan is the consultation fee), and agreed to the request of Lu Moumou of the Lu family, on the condition that he sever all relations with Lu Tiantian and set up a document to prove it.

Seller: Lu Moumou

Date: November 3, 1970.

The documents are in triplicate, one for the Lu family, one for Uncle Lin, and one for the village head.

"Aunt Lu, sign it, it's okay to draw a charge." The village chief said.

"Where's the money?" Grandma Lu doesn't see rabbits and doesn't scatter eagles.

The village doctor took out a handful of change from his pocket, one cent, two cents, five cents, and of course a piece of five cents.

Flattened the money and counted it slowly, and after counting all the money, there were only forty-four yuan, and there was even one dollar missing.

The village chief's brain jumped suddenly, he could still take out three hundred yuan when he was drinking just now, but now he is one dollar less, which is too.

But looking at the hand stretched out to him, the village chief sighed helplessly, took off his big cotton jacket, and took out a one-dollar gross ticket from the inner pocket of his underwear.

"That's it, you have to pay me back as soon as possible." The village chief said pitifully.

The village doctor took the money and put a wad of money on the table, and Grandma Lu's eyes lit up when she saw such a thick wad of money, and she hurriedly reached out to get the money.

The village doctor firmly pressed the money: "Sign the words first." ”

Grandma Lu couldn't read, and originally wanted the village chief to read it again, but when she saw the money, she forgot everything.

He pressed his thumb directly on the red clay and pressed his own handprint on the three documents.

The village chief put away two of the papers, took one to the village doctor, and put the other in his pocket.

The village doctor also put down his hand to hold the money, put away the paperwork properly, and looked at Tian Tian with his eyes: "Are you ready?" ”

Lu Tiantian nodded, looked at San Lang and Sanniang and said, "Dad, mother, I'm leaving, you have time to come and see me." ”

Sanniang cried out with a "wow" again, and the voice was full of sadness and helplessness.

Saburo's fists clenched even tighter, and he looked at the village chief who was about to leave and shouted, "Village chief, I want to split up and help me write paperwork." ”

As soon as these words came out, Old Man Lu's face changed, and the money in Grandma Lu's hand was no longer fragrant, so he scolded when he opened his mouth.

"You calf, split a fart family, your father and mother are not dividing the family, if you dare to mention the separation of the family, I will go to the town to sue you for unfilial piety."

Erlang's impatient heart was poured cold by Grandma Lu's words, and he was accused of being unfilial, but if he had to wear a high hat, the sons of the family would not be able to marry his mother-in-law in the future.

Sanniang's crying was a little quieter, and she didn't dare to bear this unfilial infamy, otherwise her three sons would really have no future.

Lu Tiantian ran back, raised her little face and looked at San Lang and said, "Dad, you wait for me to grow up, don't worry." ”

Lu Sanlang, who was almost carried away by Grandma Lu's crooked reasoning, was appeased by the sweet words.

Looking at the sweet and sparkling eyes, a voice suddenly told me that this girl is not simple.

Seeing that Lu Sanlang slowly quieted down, Lu Tiantian glanced at Lu Qing a few times, blinked, and turned to leave.

Lu Qing felt a little comforted in his heart, and finally escaped.

Lu Daming had a sad face, his sister was sold like this, his grandparents are all bad people, and the worst is Dani.

Lu Xiaoming was thoughtful, there must be a reason why his sister was sold voluntarily, he had to think about it.

Grandma Lu put the money in her pocket, glanced at her sons and daughters-in-law, and said, "Auntie, go cook, go to the ground after eating, no one wants to be lazy." ”

After speaking, he returned to the main room, locked the door, took out all the money, counted it several times, and it was a full forty-five yuan, which was the first time he had taken such a large sum of money.

From a corner of the kang, I took out a brick with a small clay pot in it, took out the small clay pot, opened the lid, and saw some bits and pieces of money.

Grandma Lu poured all the money on the kang and started the money counting game, this game is never tired of playing, it is best to play it several times a day to feel at ease.

After counting it I don't know how many times, Grandma Lu was sure that she already had sixty-two yuan in her crockpot, which was a huge amount of money.

Tell the youngest son to spend 30 yuan, give the little girl 10 yuan of dowry money, and 22 yuan, just for the elderly.

happily put the money into the crockpot, carefully closed the lid, stuffed the crockpot into the hole in the wall, and plugged the bricks, Grandma Lu opened the door.

glanced at the closed door of the third room, and it was a pity that Tiantian could not be sold one more time, but it was sold for forty-five yuan, no, it was forty-seven yuan.

You must know that marrying a daughter-in-law can give a bride price of 20 yuan is already very face-saving, and it is usually done with 100 catties of coarse grain.

"Erlang, I have a headache, you go and ask your mother to get a few cents and get some medicine for me." Erniang said.

With so much money to die, the old woman swallowed it alone, isn't it too immoral, no matter what, she has to peel off a layer of skin.

Lu Erlang was a little embarrassed, don't expect to take out the money in the old lady's pocket, the spittle stars can drown you.

But the village doctor said yesterday that the wound should be changed today, and it is better to take some medicine quickly.

Gritting his teeth, Erlang walked out: "Mother, you give a few cents, I'll go get some medicine for Erniang, the village doctor said that I have to change the medicine today." ”

"What, a few cents, let me see how big your face is, it's just such a little skin, and you can't die, what medicine to take, no money." Grandma Lu refused.

Lu Erlang's face was very ugly, if he didn't give it, he wouldn't give it, what did he say so ugly.

Old Man Lu knocked on the pole of the cigarette pouch, and said without raising his head: "Take two cents and give it to the second room." ”

Grandma Lu turned her head and glanced at Old Man Lu in surprise, and the old man's face was very gloomy and ugly.

If you don't take out the money again, don't blame me for being unkind, after thinking about it, I took out two cents from my pocket and slapped it on the table viciously.

"I will go to the field after taking medicine, my family can't afford to eat white rice, and they all go to the eyes of money, and they can't raise white-eyed wolves."

Lu Erlang stretched out his hand to pick up two cents, but his heart was tumbling with anger and embarrassment, a strong man who was dozens of years old, was so humiliated by his mother, how could he swallow this breath.

turned around and went back to the house and threw the money to Erniang: "You go to the village doctor to get the medicine yourself." ”
