The neighbors knew that he was distressed, and asked no more. He often treats people with a wry smile. Only his younger brother Liu Qianhuo said to him alone, you don't get along well with your sister-in-law, so leave it. I'll go outside and keep an eye out for you to find one. Hearing this, Liu Yansheng was excited, as if his cold heart suddenly poured into a warm current, and for the first time in many days, he showed a smile.

He thought, "Yes!" Why does a husband have no wife? He was cheering himself up, and he thought of money, if his younger brother found a good woman, the blind date would have to spend money. Where does the money come from?

He thought of the two hemp fields on the hillside behind the house, so he hurried there, and walked to the hemp fields and looked up, and his heart was half cold, and the stems and leaves of each ramie bush were crawling with green-headed and fat-brained hemp worms, and they were chewing on the stems and leaves of ramie, some of which had been bitten so that their heads drooped, and some of which had been bitten so that they were missing arms and legs, and the places where they had been bitten were blackened, as if they had been burned by fire.

This gave rise to a nameless fire in his heart, of course, not completely against the hateful hemp, but on his wife, if she hadn't operated on her, even if the hemp had eaten up the ramie and couldn't sell it for money, the family still had tens of thousands of yuan in savings, and he didn't panic about doing anything, which made him firm in his idea of divorcing his wife.

After he went back, he told his wife that Qu Li was an understanding person, and he heard him say that I was still young and didn't want to be a widower. Qu Li asked him to write a divorce agreement, signed it, and went to the civil affairs agency to go through the formalities. Qu Li didn't get anything, and Liu Qiansheng persuaded her on the grounds that "you spent all the money in the family for treatment". After the fight, the family was scattered.

Liu Qianhuo wanted to send his daughter Liu Jiaogui back to him to raise, he said no, let me make some money and then look at it, and asked Liu Qianhuo to "generalize the army": You borrow some money and I will do things, and I will pay you back when I earn money. Liu Qianhuo frowned, thinking that his brother was too ruffian and would not pay back the borrowed money, but he still asked, how much did he borrow?

Liu Qiansheng smiled and said, how much can you borrow? My ramie field has worms, and I borrow some money to buy pesticides to fight hemp worms, or I won't get any ramie.

Liu Qianhuo walked out of the hall, looked at the cloudy and clear sky, and said thoughtfully, Since this is the case, it doesn't cost much to buy pesticides anyway, so I will lend it to you. As he spoke, he took out 50 yuan from his body, which was enough to buy one or two bottles of pesticides. Liu Qiansheng followed, took the money and said, after killing the worms, the ramie will be harvested, and the money will be returned to you if you sell it.

Liu Qianhuo smiled faintly and didn't speak, he thought: If you make money, take your daughter back to raise it. At the moment, the money I spent to raise your daughter is far more than the money I paid you to buy pesticides, as for you still not to pay back the 50 yuan, it's not a big problem, you have paid more, do you care about this?

Liu Yansheng took the money and stepped on the village road, ready to go to the town to buy pesticides. He walked to the entrance of the village and glanced back at Liu Qianhuo's back, as if he had something to say thanks, but at this time, Liu Qianhuo's back was covered by the red wall and green tiles covered by the willow trees in the east of the village.

Ma Guizhen hugged Liu Jiaogui, who was only one year old, and walked around the entrance of the village, Liu Yansheng saw it as soon as he turned around, he happily approached Guizhentao, walked over and didn't know what to say, and said, thank you for bringing me the child.

Ma Guizhen smiled indifferently, she was very cold to him in her heart, she didn't even raise her own children, is he still a man? Liu Qiansheng only cared about the child at the moment, seeing that the child was fat and cute, he clapped his hands and was ready to hug him, but the child recognized his life and cried wow.

Ma Guizhen said vigorously, he is your biological father, why are you crying? The child is too young, how can he understand? Frightened, he threw his upper body on her shoulder, tears falling into her neck.

Ma Guizhen said while wiping, this kid wants me, and he doesn't want his uncle much. Only then did Liu Qiansheng know that Ma Guizhen was taking care of all the children, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of gratitude to her. But he was lonely because the child was unfamiliar with him. At this moment, he nodded to Ma Guizhen, turned and stepped onto the gravel-paved road that led to the town.

Seeing that the stranger was gone, the child stopped crying, and grabbed Ma Guizhen's neck with his hand, returning to a quiet normal, a tear was still in the corner of his eye, but it was obviously smiling.

Ma Guizhen treated her as if she were her own child, and carefully took out a handkerchief to wipe the sticky face that the child had just cried. After a while, he returned to the home where he was about to live with Liu Qianhuo. This home is a two-bay tiled house, no floor, and when you look up, you can see the dark blue tiles overhead, and there is still a little leakage on rainy days.

Before it rained, Ma Guizhen took Liu Jiaogui to her mother's house in a neighboring village, and wanted to ask her father, who was a mason, to repair and inspect the tile house, but her father was not at home, so she had to let her mother tell her, and she returned immediately. As soon as she sat down in the hall, Liu Jiaogui's body trembled in her arms, she was not stunned, she only heard a ding dong on the ground, and a meter-long iron chisel was broken into two. The drill was hung on the west wall, and she was sitting right under the east wall, so dangerous.

After an hour, Liu Yanhuo came out of nowhere, standing at the door with a panicked expression. Ma Guizhen asked what happened, and he said in a hurry, "My brother, die...... He's dead.

You talk nonsense. Ma Guizhen blamed in disbelief.

He said, really, it was a car on the highway that hit and died. Saying that, Liu Qianhuo's eye circles were hot, and tears poured out of his eyes for no reason.

Liu Jiaogui has no father. He muttered, walked briskly out of the village, and ran towards the place where the car accident occurred.

Ma Guizhen held the child and looked at the iron drill that was broken in half, as if its fall to the ground was related to the death of Liu Jiaogui's father. She walked out of the house in silence, always inexplicably associating these two seemingly unrelated strange things that shouldn't have happened.

The child writhed in Ma Guizhen's arms, as if he was restless. Ma Guizhen put her on the ground and walked, she was only more than a year old, and she couldn't walk steadily, as soon as Ma Guizhen was distracted, she fell on the threshold, flattened her mouth, and didn't cry for a long time, and then snot and tears poured out together.

Ma Guizhen panicked, and saw a blister on her forehead, turning from blue to purple, patted the dust on her body, picked it up and rubbed it slowly. Liu Jiaogui usually doesn't like to cry, but now she cries a lot. Ma Guizhen hugged her and took good care of her, until Liu Yanhuo came back for a turn, and she was still sighing. Liu Qianhuo's eyes were red from crying when he saw her, and said Could it be that this child knew that his father had passed away?

No - she was estranged from her father. Ma Guizhen remembered the scene when her father met her, and objectively said that the reason why she was crying was a blister on her head. Liu Qianhuo didn't care, walked into the room, Ma Guizhen followed and asked, your brother's funeral has not been dealt with, why did you come back so early?

I took my ID card to prove that Liu Qiansheng was my brother, so I could find the driver who caused the accident and get a lot of compensation. Liu Qianhuo went into the room, rummaged through the cabinets, got his ID card, and hurriedly went out.
