Chapter 111: The Child Is Gone
"You are a mother, you don't set a good example for the baby, and the child is faceless in front of people, you don't reflect on yourself, and you blame us. I think you insist on sparrows laying goose eggs, which is quite unreasonable. ”
"Not really! The Lu family broke off their relationship with her, and they were still domineering in front of everyone. I don't know what to fight for? ”
"The other one has been a subordinate in a big family, and he is more knowledgeable than us old mud diggers, but he is not cross-minded!"
"What insight does she have? It's far worse than Saburo and his daughter-in-law. At most, people will make a little bit of a petty attitude to their own men, where is she like that! ”
……
The scolded villagers either fought back or deliberately said sour words, Lu Cuilan didn't care, she chased after Fang Mingming in a panic.
The Lu family didn't have time to deal with Lu Cuilan, Jiang Tangtang and Lu Shiyan brought back so many children at once, but the old man Lu Su and the others were worried.
With so many more mouths, what to fill them with?
And children are not like adults.
Liu Chengfeng and Li Shi are all big laborers, whether they go hunting or digging mountain goods, they can support themselves. The Lu family actually doesn't have to post anything, many times, it is the Lu family who takes advantage.
With Liu Chengfeng and Li Shi protecting them, the prestige of the Lu family has increased greatly, and ordinary people dare not provoke the Lu family easily.
But what can these children do?
In this troubled world, children are dragging.
Luo Taohua puffed out her mouth and pinched her husband's leg vigorously, "You go and tell your third brother to send these children away quickly." I don't know what to think, this day is just a little bit over, and I came back with so many mouths, I want to drag everyone to death, right? ”
Lu Shiwang slapped her hand away angrily and said, "You don't say a few words, what to do, the third brother knows in his heart." ”
Luo Taohua suppressed her voice at first, but after being murdered by her husband, she restrained the anger in her heart and screamed: "What does he count?" He wouldn't have gotten these kids back. I can't support my own children, and I still support other people's children, is my brain sick? ”
Su Shi was also annoyed, and did not approve of Jiang Tangtang and Lu Shiyan getting these children back.
But as soon as she heard the words of her eldest daughter-in-law, she became angry, rushed over in three or two steps, and began to spray punctuation marks at Luo Taohua, "Is it a lack of you to eat or a lack of you to drink?" Which of the food and meat eaten at home was not brought back by your third brother?
He said that he was fleeing, but you see, recently, our family has meat almost every day, and that life is better than before in the village.
Your third brother was full of food when he got it back, and now when he encounters something difficult, you blame him. Where is there a person like you who will only enjoy happiness and not share suffering?
If you talk about it again, I'll let the boss take a break from you, the cheapest lazy thing. ”
Luo Taohua raised her cuffs to wipe the saliva on her face, and said aggrievedly: "Mother, you can save me some face in front of the child!" I'm not lazy now, I went up the mountain to dig two baskets of mountain goods today! It's not like I'm not doing things...... I'm just worried about my family. ”
"Do you still want face? If you want your mother, you won't shout out, so that a village will follow you to see your three brothers and three brothers and sisters laugh! Su scolded.
"I didn't control it for a while, and my voice was a little louder...... "Luo Taohua wanted to say that your voice was louder than mine, but she didn't dare, for fear that it would cause Su Shi to squirt wildly.
"Mother, the third brother and the third brother and sister should be tired after going out for a day, so let's eat first!" Zhou Qiongniang cautiously rounded the field and said: "Outsiders are watching!" ”
Su Shi saw that many people were staring at their homes, there were several women, and they looked lively.
She glared at Luo Taohua, lowered her voice and said, "I'll let you go today, and I'll be smarter in the future." ”
After warning Luo Taohua, she said loudly again: "Okay, everyone is tired, eat first." ”
Because there were so many more children all of a sudden, the food that the Lu family had prepared earlier was not enough.
The Su clan made the decision, and everyone shared less.
Luo Taohua looked at the bowl with half of the food in the bowl less than usual, and couldn't help but mutter.
Lu Shiwang glanced at Lu Shiyan and Jiang Tangtang embarrassedly, pushed Luo Taohua with his elbow, warned her with his eyes, and motioned her to say less.
The small actions of the two of them, as well as the sluggish atmosphere of the Lu family, Lu Shiyan saw it in his eyes.
He said: "Big brother Daddy, you don't have to worry about these children's rations, I will bring back the food later." If you don't have enough to eat tonight, cook some more, so that you don't have enough to eat. ”
In addition to the carriage, he also searched for silver taels from the black boss today.
In the end, a few people are doing things for Changping Hou, and the silver on them is not too little. Lu Shiyan found a total of more than 300 taels of silver.
Coupled with the food stored in the cave by the Black Boss, it is no problem for these children to eat for a month or two.
It's just that because it is inconvenient to take this group of children through the mountain road today, he has found a place to hide the carriage and food.
I'm going to find some time to move back in.
He briefly told the matter, and Luo Taohua suddenly shut up.
Su Shi asked his second son to fetch a bucket of water and asked Zhou Qiongniang to boil another pot of coarse grain and wild vegetable porridge.
The atmosphere of the Lu family gradually improved, Jiang Tangtang held the bowl, but he always felt that something was missing today.
She looked left and right and said strangely, "What about Chen Yan?" Why didn't you see him come to dinner? ”
The little one doesn't speak, and often stays in his own world, looking at a flower, a worm, a nest of ants.
But when eating, he always likes to sit with Jiang Tangtang obediently. Sometimes he would look at Jiang Tangtang and smile with satisfaction.
But today, Jiang Tangtang's side is empty.
Jiang Tangtang asked about Lu Chenyan, and everyone reacted suddenly. Su Shi looked at his grandsons and said, "The family is peaceful, what about your brother?" Didn't I tell you to take him with you? ”
Lu Jiaren looked around, but after not seeing Lu Chenyan, he suddenly panicked, "At the beginning, we were together, and everyone was lying on the river to see if there were any fish in it. But I remembered the words of the third uncle, I couldn't go down to the river, so we looked at the river, and went to look for bugs, and then I didn't know. ”
Zhou Qiongniang hurriedly asked her son: "Tian Duomancang, have you seen your brother?" ”
Lu Mancang said: "We also followed the eldest brother to find bugs." ”
Su Shi carefully looked at the faces of his third son and third daughter-in-law, a little weak-hearted, and said in a loud voice: "Didn't you call your brother when you went to find insects?" ”
Lu Tianduo looked at several adults with some fear: "It's called, I asked him to go with us to find bugs, but he didn't go, so we left by ourselves." ”
Finding bugs is a very popular game for rural children. In the past, there were chickens at home, and if you caught bugs, you could feed them.
Now that they have fled, there are no chickens left at home, and these bugs have become snacks in the mouths of children.
Children love to look for grasshoppers, bamboo insects, cicadas and other insects. Put it in the fire and burn it, and you can take it out and eat it.
The Lu family felt that there were no outsiders in the valley, and they were all busy with their own stay. At most, let the eldest child in the family take the younger child.
No one expected this to happen.
The Lu family suddenly became chaotic.
