Chapter 36: Zhu Xiuya's Two Godsons (2)

Zhu Xiuya asked him: Is Nong hungry or sick? The man didn't answer any of her questions, and the man passed out again. Zhu Xiuya touched a box of matches on the ground, so she asked her niece to come over to help, her niece cried and refused to come, Zhu Xiuya had to draw a little fire to see the person, only to see that the person's face was very painful, she thought that this face was not hungry, it must be a sudden illness, such a person could not be saved without medicine, but now Zhu Xiuya has nothing in her hands, what should she do? She figured that the only one who could save him now was this stranger. She shook his shoulders desperately, and the man seemed to try to open his eyes, but he couldn't. Zhu Xiuya found some hay and branches and leaves, and lit a fire in front of strangers, only to see that this person was bitten by a poisonous snake, it seems that he himself has taken some measures to save himself, but unconditionally go further to save himself. Zhu Xiuya has some knowledge and experience in poisonous snake bites, she carefully examined the person's wound, and knew that it was bitten by a neurotoxoid snake, no wonder, this person was already drowsy and delirious. Without much thought, she took the match, carried her niece to the middle of the load, and warned her niece: "Nong sit here and don't move, I have a fire burning here, and Nong must throw grass into it before the fire is extinguished, so that Nong will not be afraid, and grandma will save people, and she will go there to pull some herbs." After saying that, he didn't care about his niece's heart-rending wail and left.

Zhao Zhengshun later heard the whole process of Zhu Xiuya saving him, so he knelt in front of Zhu Xiuya and kowtowed again and again: "You are my mother, in this life and this life, I Zhao Zhengshun will not forget this grace of rebirth." Zhu Xiuya hurriedly helped him up and said: "Allah saved Nong, not expecting Nong to repay Allah, this is Nong's fate with Allah." Therefore, Zhao Zhengshun must wish Xiuya to recognize him as a godson. I also heard that Fang Benquan carried him down the mountain that night, and he and Benquan regarded him as brothers, Benquan was four years younger than Zhao Zhengshun, he was a younger brother, and Zhengshun was a brother, and they all called Zhu Xiuya their mother.

Bao Yumei passed the door, and Feng Ying and Zhao Zhengshun came over to congratulate together. Both of them gave generous gifts to Bao Yumei and Fang Benquan. Since then, Bao Yumei has treated these two brothers differently. Bao Yumei sees people very accurately, and the person she sees at first glance decides whether she wants to have a deep friendship with this person or not.

Bao Yumei is also very good to the two righteous brothers, as long as the two elder brothers come over, she will not do business herself, and will personally cook vegetables for the two righteous brothers at home. At this time, she either sent her mother-in-law to her youngest daughter's house in advance, or arranged for her mother-in-law to spend more time on the mountain, afraid that her mother-in-law would go home early, so she asked her eldest son Fang Lei to follow her grandmother up the mountain, she made delicious food for Fang Lei to bring over in advance, and specially instructed Fang Lei not to let grandma go home early until no one went to find them. Fang Lei was very obedient to his mother's orders, as long as his mother arranged his affairs, he would carry them out unconditionally. Zhu Xiuya also knew when the two godsons would definitely come over, and she also knew that her daughter-in-law was afraid that she would get along with her godson and talk. There were a few times when my mother-in-law suddenly came home from work early and met her godson, Bao Yumei was busy pouring water and handing towels to her mother-in-law, and the two brothers rushed to wash their mother's feet. Bao Yumei said angrily that it was not her turn to let the two brothers wash her mother-in-law's feet, Zhu Xiuya had all her secrets on her own feet, no matter who it was, she didn't allow others to touch her feet, only to see her bring the footwash to the attic. In front of her two elder brothers, Bao Yumei praised her mother-in-law for how good she was, how she contributed to the family, how she persuaded her mother-in-law not to listen, etc., that is, she got up early and pounced on the farm work in the dark, and the vegetables at home were also planted by her alone. When the two godsons heard this, they both felt that this was their mother's blessing, and they would definitely live very happily in their old age under the leadership of their younger brother and daughter-in-law, so they were also very happy and relieved. Zhu Xiuya didn't want her two godsons to send so many gifts every time. To say something unpleasant, as soon as the two godsons left, Bao Yumei hurriedly took away her things. And Zhu Xiuya was never allowed to touch these things, Bao Yumei picked out very valuable things first and took them to the people she thought needed to be sent, and some of them were shared by the children. There are also mid-range gifts that are sent to relatives in their parents' homes. Zhu Xiuya can only secretly wipe her tears.

Bao Yumei's behavior is actually not worth mentioning in the eyes of her neighbors. Especially like Xu Zhiguo. Xu Zhiguo couldn't get used to Bao Yumei's behavior, and publicly criticized Bao Yumei's abuse of her mother-in-law in the courtyard. Bao Yumei then ridiculed Xu Zhiguo for being a dog biting a snail shell and meddling in things. The two families once had a conflict. Fortunately, Jin Xiaoju was calm and calm, and quickly cooled down the fire. Fang Benquan also supports his wife, and sometimes blames his mother, and the neighbors see it in their eyes, so they can only talk about him secretly.

Bao Yumei rarely stays at home, unless she is going to invite village cadres or township leaders to her house, and in addition to paying attention to the two godbrothers who never come to the door empty-handed, she rarely has time to sit down and chat with the neighbors. She used every minute and every second of her time. She is very strict with herself and her mother-in-law. Fang Benquan's whole person was like a spinning top that could never stop, and she demanded that Fang Benquan must hand over thirty yuan of profits to her every day. If you don't meet this requirement, you won't be able to go to sleep even if you're the most tired. Zhu Xiuya was also a person who was very willing to help others before Bao Yumei passed the door, but since her daughter-in-law took control of the family, she has completely lost the prerequisite for helping others. Bao Yumei carefully calculated the rice, meat, and vegetables that her family needed to eat every day. Even the calculation of how much rice bran grass feed a pig needs to eat a day is not bad at all, and even one or two rice bran cannot be wasted at home, and Zhu Xiuya can't help no matter how loving she is.

Bao Yumei herself is also very self-disciplined. She is willing to spend a lot of money to make connections for herself, and she is never distressed. And he is very stingy about the food he uses to do a small business outside. As small as a few cents and a few cents, as large as a few yuan and dozens of yuan, she is required to spend very reasonably. Bao Yumei hates the family of her three aunts very much, and she always thinks that the children of these aunts are all 'rice borers' who have no interest. thinks that they come to play just to eat and drink for nothing at their grandmother's house, how can there be such a cheap thing in the world. She stipulated that a few nephews would only serve one meal at most, and they were all daily meals, and there was no special treatment. After a few insults, these nephews rarely came to their uncle's house.

Zhu Xiuya was very uncomfortable, and in her mind, none of her grandsons were as strong as her nephews. Especially the severity of Bao Yumei is on the verge of collapse. The hatred in her heart was like brewing before a volcano erupted. This is a dangerous signal, and if it erupts, it may be a major earthquake for the family.

Fortunately, such a crisis died down before it broke out, and it was no one else who resolved the crisis, but the little daughter from her. It has been almost decades since the youngest daughter got married, and the son of the youngest daughter Fang Caiqin has reached the age of joining the army. This year, Fang Caiqin's children were conscripted into the army.

Before the little nephew enlisted in the army, the sister-in-law set up a banquet for her son. Naturally, I wanted to invite my grandmother Zhu Xiuya, my uncle Fang Benquan and my aunt Bao Yumei. In normal times, Bao Yumei almost refused to participate in such a banquet, and the sister-in-law also gave the invitation in the form of courtesy. Unexpectedly, Bao Yumei attached great importance to this matter, not only did she personally participate in it, but also brought Zhu Xiuya over for the first time. Zhu Xiuya seemed very excited, maybe it was because her nephew's glorious enlistment stimulated her, or maybe it was Bao Yumei's change in her attitude towards her sister-in-law that made Zhu Xiuya release her suspicions, just such a move, Zhu Xiuya didn't have much gap in her heart, her heart was no longer beating violently, at least it was much calmer. Although Bao Yumei is still the same Bao Yumei after the banquet, Mrs. Zhu Xiuya has changed dramatically.

Bao Yumei's small changes made the sister-in-law's family unpredictable, Fang Caiqin's husband Zhang Chunyou said to his wife: This is really the first time in the world, wife, Bao Yumei also sent Zhang Ying a gift package of 100 yuan. Wife, did Bao Yumei suddenly have a kind heart, and brought your mother over to the banquet, how could such a thing have happened before.

Fang Caiqin also said puzzledly: Maybe she knows that our camp will be successful in the future, and it is not impossible to make an emotional investment now. Zhang Chunyou shook his head and said: She is the most shrewd, and it is impossible for Zhuge Liang to be reincarnated, I think it may be something else that needs us to help her.

Fang Caiqin laughed and said, let's leave this alone now, we can't understand Bao Yumei's thoughts, it doesn't matter, anyway, she can start to look up to us, which is also a good sign. Zhang Chunyou agreed with his wife's words and said that this is the reason, but the real change needs to be whether she will have a bowl of water on the other sisters.

Zhu Xiuya's memory gradually declined as she grew older, and she began to get confused in her later years: she could no longer climb the mountain beams and the ground, and she began to learn petty theft. Today I touch the eggs in someone's chicken coop, and tomorrow I will go to collect the clothes, shoes and hats, towels, and blankets that are drying on the lawn outside; He even took away other people's shorts, bras, and slippers one by one, and hid them in the closet where he slept. The neighbors were suspicious of her, and they didn't like to play with her even more, and they didn't like her to go around in circles in the yard. As soon as she turned around, the needles and threads were lost in the yard, and although no one would say anything about her, as more and more things were lost, they grew bigger and bigger. So someone went to Bao Yumei to complain. Bao Yumei didn't understand and said, I didn't find anything extra in my house, do you suspect the wrong person? Otherwise, how can I not see these things? Someone told her: Your mother-in-law's hands and feet are indeed getting more and more unclean, and if you can't find anything at home, then you should also pay attention to whether she has transferred the stolen things. When Bao Yumei heard this, she was very angry, one was angry that the neighbors were talking nonsense and suspicious; Second, she was even more angry that her mother-in-law transferred the stolen things outside, so what she stole the most, if it is exposed, what will Bao Yumei take to return it to others. Bao Yumei's family has gradually become wealthy, if people say that you Bao Yumei made a fortune from other people's things, she Bao Yumei will be so angry that she bangs her head against the wall, she can't let the neighbors suspect that she is not strict in control, let alone let her mother-in-law steal.
