Chapter Ninety-Three: A Lock of Hair
The matter of separating the family was not achieved overnight, so they discussed it for a night, but did not come up with a real result, and late at night, Lu Lizheng and they politely refused to keep the old man He's food, and got up and left together.
After sending people back, Old Man He quietly looked at He Lao San for a long time, and then patted him on the shoulder and sighed heavily: "It's really big!" I can't help it......"
The voice was full of the old man's vicissitudes, helplessness and sadness.
He Laosan sweated on his forehead, rubbed his hands, and babbled not knowing how to explain: "Dad...... I...... The babies in the family are also older......"
Old Man He waved his hand very understandingly: "I'm on it, I'm on it, let's go back to the house!" Take care of your daughter-in-law......" After a pause, he said, "She has been wronged this time!" ”
"No, not aggrieved...... What's wronged...... The family ...... "He Laosan shook his head like a rattle.
Old Man He shook his head and sighed and went back to the main house.
Soon, there was the scolding of Mrs. He and the scolding of Old Man He.
He Lao Da and He Lao Si came back later, and they entered the upper room, and they were surprised when they heard that the three rooms were going to be separated.
He Boss is a more honest person than He Laosan, and after standing for a long time, he popped up a sentence: "If you want to divide it, you can divide it, our father and mother have me......"
He Laosan was moved to tears.
He Laosi asked: "Third brother, do you really want to divide it?" ”
didn't wait for an answer, just thoughtfully: "If you really want to divide it, just divide it, the third sister-in-law and a few early children are often wronged in this family, and after they are separated, they will live in charge of their own families, and they will not be worse than now!" ”
He Laosan was shocked, yes, if he really went out, what could he do, would he be worse off than he is now? Will the child's mother still suffer like this, do they still have to worry about being sold every day for Zao'er and Qibao?
He relied on Mr. He's used to life, even if he really proposed to split the family, he was also nervous, for fear that he would not be able to be a family after the separation, which would make the life of his daughter-in-law and children even more difficult......
All in all, it's like every backbone.
But He Laosi's words woke up the dreamer.
This day, no matter how bad it is, it won't be worse than now!
No one took care of the five treasures, so He Chun'er took care of them first, and he was already asleep at this time, He Laosi took the five treasures back to the house, He Laosan sent them out, turned his head and saw He Zao squatting in the middle of the courtyard, and couldn't help but wonder: "Zao'er, in the middle of the night, what are you doing?" ”
He Zao glanced at him and whispered: "My mother's hair fell out, I'll pick it up for her." ”
There was a large handful of hair scattered on the ground, probably because the moonlight was too bright tonight, and I could clearly see that some of the hair roots were also bloodstained, which was particularly conspicuous.
The courtyard of the He family is the land, and next to it is a pool of blood that has coagulated.
He Laosi's heart suddenly felt unspeakably uncomfortable, as if a large ball of cotton was blocked in his throat, not up or down.
He smiled dryly: "What are you picking it up for, throw it away, it's dark at night, wash and sleep!" ”
He Zao raised his head, his little face was full of seriousness: "No, I want to put it in my purse and let my mother put it away, my mother has lost so much hair, she must be in pain!" Put these under her pillow and bless my mother to grow new hair quickly. ”
He Laosan felt that his eyes were a little blurry, touched He Zao's little head, looked at the pointed little face, and whispered: "Zao'er, are you happy to split up?" ”
"Hmm!" He had already nodded vigorously, revealing a big smile: "I'm happy, let's finally stop eating with the milk." My mother and I finally don't have to be scolded! ”
Mrs. He scolds the most on weekdays, she and Chen.
He Laosan's voice was a little choked, and he nodded vigorously: "Yes, I won't be scolded again in the future!" ”
He Zao covered his mouth and smiled, looking very innocent, and lowered his voice and whispered: "You can also eat enough, and you don't have to eat lifeless nests!" ”
"Well, let's never eat a bad nest again! Eat a full meal every day! ”
After He Zao jumped into the house, He Laosan looked up at the moonlight and secretly made up his mind.
This night, the He family didn't sleep well.
Chen has remained silent from the time Dr. Huang bandaged the wound to the time He Laosan came back after talking about the separation, asking her if she had a headache, and just shook her head and urged He to go to bed quickly.
In the middle of the night, He Zao fell asleep in a daze, but was woken up by a low cry.
Faintly, Chen's extremely suppressed cry could be heard: "...... That's all I said...... That's it...... Didn't take me seriously at all...... And Dabao, I called him by his name, and he was like he hadn't heard it...... This son was raised for nothing...... I raised it for nothing...... Even a stone should be warmed......"
He Laosan comforted her in a low voice.
He Zao suddenly felt sleepless.
Today's incident, the Chen family is probably the saddest one.
She has worked hard for this family for more than ten years, but the result in exchange is that her mother-in-law, sister-in-law, and sister-in-law joined forces to beat and scold, and regarded her as a big treasure like her own son, but she looked at it coldly like a stranger......
Especially Dabao.
Chen put most of his thoughts and care on Dabao, so his indifference and disgust were far more painful to her heart than He Zao's rebellion and the complaints of the Four Treasures and Seven Treasures.
It's like the last straw that broke the camel's back.
Chen's dissatisfaction and pain, which had been suppressed by feudal etiquette and filial piety, tonight's incident made her unable to bear it anymore, and she opened her mouth to express her first grievances!
He Zao turned over and met a pair of stunned eyes.
But it turned out that He Chun'er didn't sleep either.
When she saw that He Zao had also woken up, she hurriedly sighed and whispered, "Don't say anything." ”
He had already nodded.
It seems that He Chun'er can't sleep either!
……
The next day, the He family was unexpectedly quiet, that is, at the dinner table, Mrs. He's unique scolding voice disappeared, and the family sat at the dinner table, quietly drinking soup and eating vegetables.
The matter of the separation of the three rooms has long been spread throughout the He family.
Chen finally recovered her body, and then lay down again, she was not seriously injured yesterday, but because of the lack of a lock of hair on her scalp, it was difficult to see people, so she still hid in the house.
The more than 20 acres of land of the He family have been hoeing grass and hoeing almost all these days, and the old man He ordered: "Let's not go to the ground today, they are coming at noon, why do you have to take care of a meal, early her milk, you let Dayang go to the small grocery store to weigh a few catties of pork, and then buy a chicken stew at her second grandmother's house. ”
When Sanbao and Wubao heard that they had to eat the small rice that could only be eaten during the New Year, they immediately cheered.
Mrs. He was reluctant, and after a long time, she went to pull the placket of her clothes, grabbed a few big coins from the cloth bag and handed them to Dayang: "Save some flowers." ”
Old Man He frowned: "What can you do with those few pennies, Tangerine, you go to the inner room and get a string of money out." ”
He Tangerine was reluctant and hurriedly asked Mrs. He for help.
The latter snorted: "Don't go orange, whoever takes the money, I don't have any money." ”
She squinted her eyes and glanced at He Laosan and He Zao, and the meaning was obvious.
He Zao smiled slightly, not in a hurry: "Zhong, whoever takes the money for the affairs of the family, and inviting Li Zheng to come is also for our family's affairs, so naturally we should take it!" Sister, let's take a string of money to buy chickens. ”
Old Mrs. He was suspicious, not knowing how she could suddenly be so good at talking.
Old Man He was smarter and understood the meaning of He Zao's words.
Since it is whose family's business and who takes the money, and no longer pays for it in public, it can be seen that Mrs. He has acquiesced in the separation of the three rooms!
