Chapter 17: The situation is getting worse

After Li Qiuhua finished speaking, the room was quiet for a moment, and then he heard Mrs. Zhao sneer, "Do you still want to come back?" Why do they have that face? is not from the Xu family, why should the Xu family raise it? ”

Li Qiuhua slapped his face, and echoed excitedly, "That's it, besides, we can't afford to raise it, a pair of medicine and two taels of silver, what kind of gold noble?" The young lady is a maid and a girl, and she is just a fool, and she is willing to take a silver bracelet to pay for medicine, there is so much silver, why can't you? It's good now, it's all gone, and I can't even hear a sound......"

Mrs. Zhao glanced at her, "Gu Shi drank the medicine, and his body didn't get better?" ”

Li Qiuhua nodded hurriedly, "I saw it with my own eyes, her face was white, there was no blood at all, she moved from the house to the door, it was only a few steps, but she couldn't breathe, when she spoke, she was also chirping, all relying on hard support, before we left, she couldn't even get up from the chair, tsk, I think she is also guilty of living, it is better to ......"

"Second sister-in-law!" Xiao Zhao interrupted, some words just need to be understood in their hearts, but it would be too unkind to say them, and even those who listened with them felt cold.

Li Qiuhua rolled his eyes, and said with a smile, "Oh, my mouth is not as sweet as his fourth aunt, I can't say those nice words, let alone coax people......"

"Okay, what are you doing here?" Mrs. Zhao defended her niece and pulled down her face unhappily.

Li Qiuhua sneered and flattered, "Mother, I'm praising my younger brother and sister." ”

Mrs. Zhao didn't bother to bother with her, so she turned her head and asked Xiao Zhao, "What do you look like?" ”

Xiao Zhao pondered, "The third sister-in-law looked at it, she did look weak and powerless, and her temperament was as soft as before, no matter what the second sister-in-law said, she didn't get angry......

Mrs. Zhao felt that Li Qiuhua's mouth was unreliable, but she still believed her niece's words, and when she heard the words, her heart was steady, and she said lightly, "What right does she have to be angry?" If you can't give birth to a son, you will have to be served in the future...... Let's see how long she can survive. ”

"After that......"

Li Qiuhua took over the words and shouted with an exaggerated face, "Her life is hard like that, what is the future?" God, I just reacted, she is a father and mother, and she is a son, maybe she will be ......a husband in the future."

Even if you don't like the third son anymore, but in the end it was born by herself, Mrs. Zhao frowned and reprimanded, "Shut up, dare to say anything, the chickens in the backyard are fed?" Watered in the vegetable patch? Ready? ”

Li Qiuhua muttered quietly, "I do all this work alone?" ”

Wang Suyun, who had been silent all this time, said with a smile, "I'll go with you......"

Li Qiuhua couldn't hold what she meant, but she didn't object stupidly, "Okay, then it's troublesome sister-in-law." ”

The two of them left one after the other, walked to the backyard, and when there was no one around, Wang Suyun asked in a low voice, "Have you asked her what her third aunt has eaten these days?" ”

Li Qiuhua knew that her sister-in-law would not help for no reason, and sure enough, she came to inquire about her, "I asked, and said that it was the wild vegetables that the third child dug from the mountain." ”

Wang Suyun furrowed her brows, thoughtful.

Seeing this, Li Qiuhua's eyes flashed, "Don't sister-in-law believe it?" ”

Wang Suyun said, "There's nothing to believe or not, I just think that just eating weeds, their family of three can last for so many days?" The body of the third brother and sister can be tossed without tossing. ”

Li Qiuhua said with a smile, "Oh, dare to love the sister-in-law and also worry about the treasure hidden in the Gu family?" Before that, I shouted to you to go with me, why did you refuse? ”

Wang Suyun pretended to be calm and said, "You misunderstood, I didn't think about anything, besides, what treasures can the Gu family have?" If there was, wouldn't Gu Xiu be able to take it out as a dowry for her daughter? ”

Li Qiuhua can't look down on her like this, she is worthy of being a couple of people like the boss, the same sanctimoniousness, "Sister-in-law said that if you don't worry about it, don't worry about it, in fact, it's useless for you to worry about it, because the Gu family has nothing, hehe, is the sister-in-law very disappointed?" Oh, we're all working in vain. ”

Wang Suyun, "......"

At noon, Xu Huaiyi came back sweating profusely, and as soon as he entered the RV, he first took out a drink from the refrigerator and poured half a bottle, and then rushed into the bathroom to take a shower, complaining while washing, "It's too hot, what kind of weather is this?" It's terrible, there is no wind in the mountain, and it is as stuffy as a steamer......"

Gu Huanxi responded, "Is that a gain?" ”

"Alas, it's better than last time, this time I can't even dig up wild vegetables......" Xu Huaiyi walked out in big shorts, sat on the sofa with his buttocks, wiped his hair, and said worriedly, "The situation is getting more and more serious." ”

Gu Huanxi was busy with lunch in the kitchen, and when he heard this, he said without hesitation, "Then you can go to the town in the afternoon." ”

"The town? There are no pawnshops in town. ”

"You go to the grain store first, and ask what the price of the grain is now, is it good to buy it?" Other shops are also shopping, our news is too closed, you go to inquire, we have a good heart, it really can't work, just leave early. ”

"Okay, I'll go after dinner."

……

Xujia Village is not far from the town, seven or eight miles away, you can walk in half an hour, but on a hot day, no one goes out with the sun at noon.

Except for Xu Huaiyi.

He was wearing a straw hat, and when he arrived at the town, his back was soaked, but after walking around, his heart was cold, and the grain store had no food to sell! The doors are closed!

The other shops are open, but the prices of things are ridiculously high.

Xu Huaiyi hurriedly returned to the village and went straight to the well in the village, and when he walked, he found a person standing by the well, with a solemn expression and didn't know what he was thinking.

"Uncle."

When Xu Maoyuan heard this, he turned his head, as if he hadn't been withdrawn from his thoughts, and said blankly, "Huaiyi, why did you come here?" ”

Xu Huaiyi said casually, "Come and have a look." ”

After he finished speaking, he cautiously leaned over and glanced into the well, his brows instantly furrowed, and he blurted out, "Why is the water level so shallow?" The last time I came to fetch water, it wasn't like this......"

Xu Maoyuan sighed, and said in a heavy tone, "The water level is getting shallower day by day, and now I can barely pick a few buckets to water vegetables, but if it doesn't rain again, I'm afraid there won't even be enough water for people to drink." ”

Xu Huaiyi was silent for a moment, and asked out loud, "Uncle, do you have any plans?" ”

Xu Maoyuan put his hands behind his back and looked at the ground in the distance, at this moment, most of the crops in the field were already hopeless, and the rest were just hard work, he closed his eyes, as if he had made an extremely difficult decision, "If it doesn't rain within a month, and the county government doesn't provide disaster relief within three months, we can only go to escape the famine, and we can't stay here and wait for death." ”
