Chapter 41: Useless Things
"Ah Shi, come over here, I have something to tell you."
The light was dim, except for the semi-circular moon hanging above, shining in a little bit of light.
Hua Shi raised his eyes, and couldn't see the expression and expression on Father Hua's face clearly.
"What's the matter?" Hua Shi paused, but still asked.
For some reason, Hua Shi inexplicably felt that Hua Father seemed to be entangled and nervous.
Hua Ciyuan turned his head to look at the dark hall, and slowly exhaled before he said slowly, "The thing I told you last time ......"
He paused deliberately, his eyes fixed on the flower for a moment, waiting for her to remember what it was.
When he spent his eyebrows, his eyebrows moved slightly, and he immediately remembered the incident he mentioned......
Father Hua asked her to go and watch it for him in advance when he was posting the list, and then secretly come back and tell him what the result was......
It's just that it's not that she doesn't help.
Hua Shi shook his head, remembering that it was dark all around, and he might not be able to see her shaking his head, so he said, "I can't help you, my grandmother just said it today, and she won't let me go out without her permission in the future." ”
Hearing this, Hua Ciyuan was speechless.
Hua Shi waited for a while, and saw that Hua Ci was far from speaking, and just raised his feet to leave.
Father Hua said again, "You can help Dad take a look, your grandmother will definitely not be at home the day after tomorrow...... You go secretly, she doesn't know. ”
Father Hua was silent and silent, thinking of letting Hua Shi help him.
Hua Shi frowned, impatient to talk to him about this, and asked rhetorically, "Why don't you go yourself?" ”
She can't go as fast as she can't go, and the Li family will know sooner or later what the result is.
Why bother to make an extra trip to let her run more.
She couldn't figure out what the flower father was thinking, her child ignored it, ignored it, and was bullied to the doorstep.
She didn't believe that the three brothers of the Li family had been scolding and scolding for so long, and the flower father hiding in the house would not know.
He knew that he just didn't want to ignore ...... It's none of your business, hang high.
Cold and selfish.
Several children of the Hua family, including the original owner, have all kinds of problems, selfish sisters; the gloomy and sickly second brother; the third sister with sharp teeth and rumors; stealing chickens and dogs became the fourth brother of stealing children; The fifth brother who is autistic and introverted and rarely speaks......
Among these children, the eldest original owner is only sixteen, and they are all a few and a half old children......
No mother, no care, milk abuse......
The longer I stay in the Hua family, the more I understand Hua Shi, the more irritated I feel here.
Whether it is the weakness and selfishness of Father Hua, or the meanness of Li, and her capricious temperament.
Li's control over her everywhere, she became more and more unbearable......
After this incident, and the ban that the Li clan placed on her again, Hua Shi was determined to escape from here.
This is not the afterlife, if you want to get out of the control of an elder, you don't just run away from home, and you can just come back.
She thought about it, and the best way she could think of was ...... Get married.
The village is not as open as she thinks, and there are many restrictions on women, in addition to the idea of male superiority and inferiority of women, there is also the big head of the clan surname.
Even if she is a man, it is not easy to get out of the control of the elders.
If a man can still propose to split up because of contradictions. As far as she knew, the procedures for separating the family were also quite complicated and cumbersome.
With the consent of the head of the family, the village chief must be invited to testify, and finally, the old patriarch with the same surname will be invited out, and the old patriarch will be asked to draw the genealogy, divide the house, and divide the land...... Wait a minute.
Hua Shi also inquired, in the huge Shoushan Village, there are no women standing on their own. Women are also not allowed to stand on their own in the village.
If a woman wants to break away from the control of the clan, then she will be removed from her surname and expelled from the village, and no one in the village will take you in, and then you will no longer be a person who guards the mountain village, and you will end up like a beggar who has been displaced from the world......
To put it bluntly, the village will never allow women to set up a household, and Shoushan Village pays attention to the same clan and clan, as long as there are men in the clan, it is impossible for women to set up their own doors.
So after thinking about it, the only way to get out of the Li family of the Hua family is to marry......
Father Hua didn't know when to stand up, and when Hua Shi lost his mind, he walked up to her.
In the dim night, Father Hua's prominent eyes stared at her fiercely.
When Hua Shi came back to his senses, he heard Father Hua hesitate for a long time, "Ah Shi, you can help your father, just help your father take a look." ”
Hua Shi blinked, and in the dark, it took a while to see the expression on Father Hua's face.
There is pleading, there is anxiety, there is anger...... Complexity is intertwined on that thin and slightly haggard face.
When he spent his eyes, he still shook his head and refused, "Milk will be angry." ”
She said this, Hua Ciyuan's expression was visibly gloomy, and his expression became a little excited, reaching out to pull the hand when the flower was pulled.
Hua Shi took two steps back and knocked his hand off without mercy.
"Meow!"
The black cat, which has been surrounding Hanatoki's feet, seems to be aware of Hanashi's uneasy emotions.
At the same time as Hua Shi knocked off Hua Ciyuan's hand, he suddenly screamed and threw himself at Hua Father's trouser leg......
"Ahh Where did the brute come from! ”
Father Hua was startled, staggered back a few steps, and let out a sharp scolding.
"Blackie!"
When Hua Shi saw that the black cat was eager to try, he wanted to pounce on people, so he hurriedly scolded.
"Meow?"
Hua Shi shouted, and the black cat, which was still hunched over and had an offensive posture, obediently stopped, squatted on the ground, and meowed innocently at her in response.
"Come here." Hua Shi beckoned, called the cat over, and took it into his arms.
She was afraid that the black cat would scratch Hua Ciyuan, and the Li family would use it to open the knife when the time came......
Just now, the Li family wanted to kill it and eat it, she just made up a reason to fool the Li family, if she scratches people at this time, not to mention the stewed cat meat, the black cat is afraid that she will not be able to continue to stay in the Hua family.
"Meow ......"
A meaty, chubby cat obediently leaned into the crook of the flower's arm, and rubbed the flower's hand again as if flattering.
Hua Shi whispered, "Be nice." ”
So arrogant, be careful to be stewed into cat soup.
Hua Ciyuan was taken aback, relieved himself, a trace of annoyance appeared on his face, pointed at the black cat, and scolded, "Livestock! Throw this beast away! It is written in the book that the black cat is resentful, it is a bad thing, and it is evil, and bringing the black cat into the house will attract evil ghosts! ”
Hua Shi was stunned, but he didn't expect Hua Ciyuan to say such a thing.
reacted, and immediately retorted, "Nonsense, what does the book say?" The black cat is a mascot that can ward off evil spirits! ”
Hua Ci was far away, the anger on his face was not reduced, I don't know if it was because he refused the request, and was pounced on by the black cat, and the whole person seemed to be on the verge of rage.
Hua Shi didn't want to continue to fight with him, hugged the black cat, and quickly walked into the house, no matter how angry Hua's father was.
Hua Ciyuan was so angry when he was flowered, he stood in place in a daze, depressed, looking left and right, he really couldn't find a more suitable person than Hua Shi to help him look at the list.
Three sons, one is lame, one has a broken hand, and can't say a word, and the other daughter, who has a big mouth, asked her to go to see the list, and before she came back to tell herself, the whole village already knew, and she couldn't afford to lose this person......
Hua Ciyuan thought about it, looking at the dilapidated and dim courtyard, he couldn't hold his breath and couldn't get up or down, and he was so uncomfortable that he died.
The list will be released the day after tomorrow, if you still can't pass the exam......
I can't imagine the consequences of falling off the list again......
The hysterical Li family, the ridicule of the whole village, no matter which one it is, he doesn't want to face it.
He could imagine how the villagers were mocking and laughing at him, and he really didn't want to see it again!
"Smack!"
There was a muffled sound.
The rebuke of the atmosphere of the rhetoric sounded, "Useless thing! ”
"Woo woo woo ......"
The child's cry, neither big nor small, sounded muffled in the darkness.
"Little Shadow!"
Hearing the cry of his younger brother Xiaoying, Hua Yu and Hua Li, who were originally busy in the yard, looked in the direction of the cry.
Hua Xiao in the small kitchen room, holding a coal lamp, hurriedly trotted out.
Under the dim candlelight, under the kicked down stool, a small bun with grievances and sobs sat on the ground and sobbed quietly.
The culprit who kicked over the stool was far away, his arms were folded around his chest, and he looked at his crying little son with an indifferent face, and said sarcastically,
"Isn't that going to make a sound? No matter how you cry, you can cry, and you can't say a word! It's not dumb......"
Hua Ciyuan raised his eyes, looked at a few children who were standing in place like pillars, and scolded in a low voice, "A group of useless things!" ”
It's useless to raise it so big......
Hua Ciyuan was angry and angry, all of which were sprinkled on a few children, and looking at a few children who dared to be angry but did not dare to speak, his heart was a little more comfortable.
As if in this way, he can manifest his own status and role.
Hua Xiao carefully put the coal lamp on the table, squatted down, and reached out to pull up her younger brother who was sitting on the ground crying.
"Woo woo woo ......"
Flower Shadow's tears fell down in strings, sobbing, and a pair of small hands wiped them one by one, and the tears that fell out.
Hua Xiao glanced at her father, who was standing on the side, with an indifferent expression, and then at her younger brother who was crying, and whispered to reassure, "Where did it hurt?" Don't cry, I'll give you Huhu, Huhu won't hurt......"
Xiao Baozi inhaled, put down the hands that were wiping his tears, raised a pair of hands, and stretched out in front of Hua Xiao.
The hand that had just fallen to the ground, the hand was propped up on the ground, and the palm of the hand was scratched by the sand, and it hurt bitterly......
"Hungry ......" Huaying blinked her big red eyes, stopped crying, and spit out a word vaguely.
Hua Xiao held his hand and blew him, "It won't hurt if you blow it...... Huh? … Hungry? ”
Flower Shadow nodded, retracted her hand, and clutched her stomach.
He's so hungry......
