Chapter 14: Borrowing Grain

No matter how she explained it now, it was useless, and everyone thought she was here to cheat the grain.

Originally, she planned to make some food and sell it in the county or town, but during this period, the market economy gradually recovered, and trade in the fixed market was allowed.

What can I do now, it's hard for a good woman to cook without rice!

After walking all morning, after experiencing countless closed doors, Hua Xi stood embarrassed under the big willow tree at the head of the village, looking at the gate not far away, but she no longer had the courage to walk in.

Even if she just came here yesterday, she didn't have too much panic, she boasted that knowledge can change fate, not to mention that she also knew what would happen in the next few decades, and always felt that as long as she didn't reveal her identity as a reborn, she would definitely be able to live a good life and protect the relatives she wanted to protect.

But at this moment, she realized how powerless she was.

The noon sun was dizzy, and the fat Hua Xi walked all morning, holding on to the trunk of the tree weakly and panting, but her mind was carefully calculating whether to take some risks and go to the mountain, after all, she saw it in the morning......

"I heard you're borrowing white noodles from all over the place, aren't you?"

Behind him, a cold voice suddenly sounded, startling Hanaki, who was deep in thought.

She turned her head suddenly, and was also stunned, almost involuntarily said, "Mom......"

The person who came was none other than her mother-in-law, that is, Song Dongquan's mother Zhang Yulan.

When Mother Song heard Hua Xi's name, the boss on her face was unhappy, but she couldn't refute it. She doesn't like Huaxi anymore, her son refuses to leave, and Huaxi is still her daughter-in-law.

Mother Song's face was a little ugly, but she still asked, "Do you want white noodles?" Let's go, come home with me and get it. ”

As soon as she said that, she turned and walked home, but she didn't hear the footsteps behind her.

Hanaki didn't even follow?

She used to be very shameless, and she was cheap, can she take advantage of it?

Mother Song turned her head and said in a hateful voice: "Why are you still standing still stupidly, you don't want food?" ”

Hua Xi couldn't tell what she felt in her heart, she really couldn't imagine that Mother Song was willing to lend her food.

She had choked the old Song family enough before, and the fine grain in Song Dongquan's house had long been emptied by her, and now she was embarrassed to go to collect wool again.

"Mom, you don't have much food at home, so I won't take it, I'll think of another way."

It's really shameless to take it.

Hua Xi decided that she would take the risk of digging up the old ginseng she found on the mountain in the morning and selling it in a distant city, so that no one would doubt her identity.

Mother Song's face changed suddenly, "What else can you do, are you still going to go out and cheat Dongquan's face?" I'm begging you, stop it! ”

"I don't, I'm embarrassed, after all, you don't have much food at home."

Mother Song was also shocked when she heard Hua Xi say this, "It's rare that you still know how to be embarrassed, I saw that you were not soft at all when you stole the food at home." ”

“......”

"To tell you the truth, I don't want to care about your, it's Dongquan who said that your grandfather has no food over there, let me think of a way for you anyway."

“......”

"Dongquan also said that it was Dongyue Dongli who did something wrong yesterday, and if you hadn't put out the fire, there would not be even half a house left in the house." What's more, the son also said that it was Huaxi who protected the reputation of the youngest son and the little girl, so as not to ruin the two children.

But in the latter words, Mother Song didn't want to tell Hua Xi, she was really worried that the girl in the back would ask for it even harder.

Mother Song suppressed the worry in her heart, and said to Hua Xi with a cold face: "Let's go, since we are a family, I can't watch my in-laws starve, I still have some food over there, you can bring it to your grandfather." ”

After Mother Song finished speaking, she didn't wait for Hua Xi this time, and turned around and walked home directly.

She said everything that should be said, if Huaxi really didn't want to, she didn't bother to care, and it was difficult to say whether it was her daughter-in-law in the future.

Looking at the back of Mother Song leaving, Hua Xi gritted her teeth, and finally followed.

What shocked her was not Song's mother's attitude towards her, but Song Dongquan. The man had only helped her catch a mouse yesterday, and he noticed that there was no rice on her grandfather's side. also explained to Song's mother about yesterday's fire and maintained her.

This man is thoughtful and meticulous, which is terrifying.

For now, just let her borrow him, and she will definitely pay it back later.

Hua Xi made up her mind and hurriedly followed in the footsteps of Song Mu.

The old Song family.

As soon as Hanaki walked into the courtyard, she saw the house destroyed by fire. The half of the house in the west where she lived after her marriage had been reduced to ruins, and only the east half was left with a dilapidated curtain, but the patched curtain had also been blackened by fire yesterday.

"Ahh Hell here! Sister, hide it! ”

Five-year-old Song Dongyue looked at Hua Xi who was following behind his mother, and was so frightened that he hurriedly pulled his sister and shrank into the corner. His eyes were horrified as if he had seen a demon or a monster.

The corners of Hua Xi's mouth twitched.

Mother Song looked at her youngest son's appearance, for fear that Hua Xi would go crazy again, so she hurriedly urged: "Dongyue, quickly take your sister into the house, don't make trouble when adults talk!" ”

Song Dongyue pulled his sister and quickly fled into the house.

Hua Xi looked at the child's appearance of running away, angry and funny.

Mother Song saw that Hua Xi was not angry, although she was a little strange in her heart, but she didn't ask much, "Your Westinghouse will be cleaned up for a while." ”

"yes, I know."

Hua Xi nodded, and then said, "I will live at my grandfather's house in the future." ”

Mother Song was a little embarrassed on her face, and wanted to say something, but she didn't say anything, turned around and went back to the house, "You wait, I'll bring you white noodles." ”

"Okay."

Hua Xi stood outside, her eyes swept the courtyard and the outer hall between the two rooms, except for a shabby table of eight immortals used for eating, a few old stools, there was no furniture left.

She didn't need to go to the East House to check on her, she was sure that there should be no furniture in the room where Song's mother lived with her two children.

Because, even the foreign scoop basins used for cooking and eating at home are placed on the ground in the corner, and there is not even a dilapidated bowl shelf, which shows the embarrassment of the old Song family.

It's so poor.

Hanaki sighed and walked out of the house, finding a place to sit under the pear tree in the courtyard.

Song Dongyue ran out secretly at this time, as if he was worried about being discovered by Song's mother in the house, he ran to Hua Xi's side, looked at Hua Xi and asked, "What are you doing here, didn't you say to divorce my brother, why do you still come to my house?" ”

Hua looked at the five-year-old child in front of him with a smile, although Song Dongyue was thin and much smaller than his peers, his eyes were bright and clear, revealing a smart light. A villain.

Hua Xi wanted to tease him, and said quietly: "I don't want to leave again." ”

"How's that going to work!"

"Why not, knot or divorce, I have the final say, and what is the benefit of divorce for me?"

Song Dongyue: "...... What? ”

"Little brat, you're young and ignorant. If I divorce your eldest brother, and your eldest brother is so good that you don't have to worry about finding a partner, I won't be able to. ”

"If someone like me becomes a second marriage, will anyone still want it? Then I might as well hold on to your eldest brother, and then I will be alone in the future, and I will give me one of his pensions to spend, then I won't have to worry about it for the rest of my life. ”

The man who had just reached the door paused suddenly.

Song Dongquan listened to Hua Xiqingling's voice, and his eyes became deep and difficult to understand.

Why is this woman talking nonsense again? Obviously in the morning, he looked like he would not give up without divorce, and now he threatened to bring disaster to him for the rest of his life?

She's so fickle!
