Chapter 23: Don't You Blame Me

The rain is hitting the tiles, ticking, lying on the bed and listening to the sound of the rain, which is very pleasant.

But for Cui Lanhua, she doesn't care about anything comfortable or uncomfortable, not to mention that those cultural people's things are too far away for her, and she doesn't understand.

She is now full of the divorce of her eldest daughter.

"Tell me what happened to Yueyue's divorce." Cui Lanhua urged her man, "I wanted to ask when I was eating just now, but I didn't dare to ask for fear of making Yueyue sad." ”

"You're doing the right thing!" Xu Qingmu praised her, "Although Yueyue seems to be calm, I'm afraid that she will hold all her thoughts in her heart, don't suffocate it." ”

"And you also know that those long-tongued women in our team love to gossip, and when I know that Yueyue is divorced, I don't know how to arrange her, so I think let her slow down at home first, what do you think?"

"I'll listen to you, tell me what's going on? Why did you get divorced? ”

"What a fart!" Xu Qingmu couldn't help but burst into foul language, and then told everything he had encountered since he arrived at Liu's house, and even Liu Qisheng's mother and son still often slept together without concealing it.

"This, this, how can there be such a thing in this world?" Cui Lanhua was dumbfounded when she heard this.

After so many years of living, it was the first time she had heard such a thing!

It's really ......

Cui Lanhua, who has no culture, doesn't know how to describe it, but she knows that this kind of thing will be a scandal when it gets out.

"It's the first time I've heard of anything like this!" Cui Lanhua sighed.

If this didn't happen to her daughter, she would naturally listen to it as a new thing, but now that it really happened to her eldest daughter, she feels angry as long as she thinks about it.

"The marriage that your mother is looking for is really unreliable!" Cui Lanhua, who has never complained in front of her own man, that her mother-in-law is not, can't help but complain now.

"It's off the charts!" Xu Aoki agreed.

"Since Mrs. Liu is a widow, how can she have so much money?" Cui Lanhua asked.

Although the bride price did not reach her at the beginning, she also knew the number, which was fifty yuan.

Although it is said that it is popular now, it is for people in the city.

In a rural place like theirs, three turns and one ring? That's not even a thought about it.

It's all farmers who are digging in the fields, and even if you have money, you don't have a ticket, so you can't buy those things.

As for the bride price, more than 10 or 20 yuan is considered normal, and 50 yuan is a lot of money.

A widow, her son is not diligent, even if she is a mother, she can't save so much money.

"Who knows!" Xu Aoki's tone was disdainful.

He didn't want to know where the money in Mrs. Liu's hand came from, after all, it was not obtained through legitimate means.

"Did she ask us to pay back the bride price?" Cui Lanhua asked again.

What about such a big sum of money, the Liu family is willing to forget it?

"Heh, they want to, but for the things they did, their branch secretary refused to stand on their side, and they were afraid that we would sue the Public Security Bureau, so they didn't dare to ask for it in the end." Xu Qingmu told what happened later in the Xiangshan Brigade Headquarters.

He said, "They still want the bride price back?" Don't say we don't have money, even if we do, I definitely can't give it, they beat and scolded our daughters like this, I can't wait to chop them, so it's impossible to give money! In a family like theirs, it's okay if Yueyue leaves, you see how thin she has become, let's not force her to marry in the future, if she wants to stay at home, stay at home, she won't starve her after all. ”

"Okay, I'll listen to you."

In the next room, Xu Shuyue didn't fall asleep.

Lying on the familiar bed again after a long absence, Xu Shuyue always had a feeling of unreality.

She never thought that she would escape from the Liu family one day.

She didn't dare to sleep, for fear that she would be at Liu's house again when she woke up.

After the sound of regular breathing came from the side, Xu Shuyue turned sideways slightly, and a small voice came from the side.

"Sister, you haven't slept yet?"

It was Xu Shuxin's voice.

"Did I wake you up?" Xu Shuyue asked in a low voice.

The two fell asleep side by side, and Xu Shuyue thought that her actions woke up her little sister.

Xu Shuxin: "No, I didn't fall asleep either, eldest sister, don't you dare to sleep?" Afraid it's a dream? ”

Xu Shuyue was surprised by her little sister's keenness, "Yes, I'm really scared, I'm afraid that this is a dream, I'm afraid that when I wake up, I'll be in Liu's house again." ”

"Eldest sister, this is true, you see, we are all by your side."

In the dark, Xu Shuxin stretched out her little hand and grabbed the eldest sister's hand, "Look, it's not true." ”

The warmth from his hands warmed Xu Shuyue's heart.

She shook her tiny hand and smiled, "It's true." ”

"Then big sister, go to sleep, our family will be fine in the future!"

"Well, okay, you can sleep too." Xu Shuyue nodded vigorously, and then closed her eyes.

Xu Shuxin opened her eyes, looked at the two hundred points on the system, smiled, and then gritted her teeth and ruthlessly bought ten catties of polished rice, spending forty points.

These milled rice are intended for the eldest sister to nourish her body.

The eldest sister is too thin, thinner than their whole family, it can be seen that she is starved and has to be taken care of.

Looking at the remaining one hundred and sixty points, she bought another sixty points of brown rice and coarse corn kernels, the same thirty points of each, a total of ninety-nine coarse grains.

Ninety catties of coarse grain doesn't sound like a lot, but there are nine people in their family, and if they are all full, they won't be able to eat for a few days.

It seems that there is still a long way to go to fill the stomach!

While sighing, she bought a small can of oil and a small bag of salt, both of which are packaged in this era.

Xu Shuxin sighed, and then put the fine grains, coarse grains, and oil and salt she bought into the system backpack, and prepared to take them out for her father in two days.

After doing all this, Xu Shuxin closed her eyes again and soon fell asleep.

Although the summer rainstorms are heavy and heavy, they do not last long.

When I woke up the next day, the rain had already stopped.

As soon as Cui Lanhua walked into the kitchen, she saw her eldest daughter sitting in front of the stove and lighting the fire.

"Yueyue, why did you get up so early?"

"Mother, I usually get up at this point, and I can't sleep when I wake up, so I think about cooking breakfast."

It's busy farming time, and the family's breakfast is polenta cooked with brown rice and coarse corn kernels.

Coarse corn kernels are not easy to cook, and they need to be soaked in advance, so before going to bed at night, Cui Lanhua will soak the coarse corn kernels, and by the way, prepare the brown rice in advance, and cook it directly after getting up the next day and changing the water.

Therefore, after Xu Shuyue got up, she just passed the brown rice and coarse corn kernels through the water again to make the fire.

She had just lit the firewood for a while, and Cui Lanhua came in.

Cui Lanhua walked in and squatted down next to her, "I'll just come, you go to sleep for a while, don't be in a hurry to get up, your father said, you just came back, take it slowly at home first, if those people in the team say anything ugly, don't take it to heart, your father and I miss you at home." ”

Xu Shuyue put the firewood into the stove for a moment, stared at the flames, and asked, "Mother, don't you blame me?" My divorce will cause our family to be pointed at by the team. ”
