Chapter 601: Poor An An
But she couldn't go back, she didn't have anything to eat on the first day she came here, and she didn't even drink soup when she stewed meat at night.
The person she called her mother said that the family is small, she can only live in a firewood house, there is not enough food at home, she is oily, she is fat enough, and she should eat less.
She didn't dare to refute, she was afraid of being beaten.
At this time, she looked at the dilapidated door and wanted to escape, but immediately dispelled this idea.
Today, when she followed that father up the mountain to chop wood during the day, she had already looked around, this place is surrounded by mountains, there is only one way to leave here, that road is surrounded by majestic mountains on both sides, there will be wild beasts at any time, and going out at night is equivalent to sending yourself into the mouth of the beast.
It seems that she can only find a chance to escape during the day, and tonight, she can only stay up in this firewood room.
'Squeak! ’
At this moment, there was a sound of the door opening, An An's expression suddenly became nervous, she curled up, looked at the door through the moonlight.
"Girl......"
It was grandma's voice, she got up and came to grandma,
"Grandma, why haven't you slept yet?"
Grandma took a bun out of her pocket and handed it to her,
"Eat this bun, you can't eat it."
"Grandma'......"
An An was suddenly a little moved, this white-flour steamed bun is a rare thing here, and when she was eating today, she also heard her grandmother say that she hadn't eaten a white-flour steamed bun for several years, and she wanted to take one and hide it to eat at night.
I didn't expect her to hide it for herself.
An An looked at her gratefully and shook her head vigorously,
"Grandma, keep it for food, I'm not hungry."
"Silly girl, I haven't eaten for a day, how can I not be hungry, hurry up and eat!"
As she spoke, Grandma stuffed the bun into her hand and whispered to her:
"Girl, don't you really remember who you are?"
An An pursed her mouth and looked up at her grandmother with big eyes,
"My name is Ni Xiaohong."
Grandma's eyes instantly reddened, she touched An An's head, sighed, and muttered to herself,
"What a sin!"
Leaving these words, she sighed again, turned to open the door, and left the place.
An An looked at the steamed bun in his hand, returned to the position he had sat in just now, and devoured it.
It's not that she's not hungry, she can't bear to eat the steamed buns left by her grandmother, and she is also very grateful to the steamed buns sent by her grandmother, which makes her feel a little warm in this strange place.
The next morning, before An An got up, the big girl shouted,
"Xiaohong, get up and make a fire, I'm going out today, I have to eat early."
An An opened her worried eyes, raised her hand and rubbed it, and the eldest girl kicked her with her foot,
"Hurry up, the sun is all drying your buttocks, where are you still sleeping, you are reincarnated as a dead ghost."
Although the eldest girl's words were ugly, An An didn't dare to refute them, she understood that she was weak and couldn't annoy these strangers.
She hurriedly picked up the firewood and put it in the pit in front of her.
But she had never done these jobs before, and she couldn't ignite Chai He with half a day's effort, which caused the eldest girl to be dissatisfied.
She pushed An An out, cursing, and leaned on the stove to start a fire.
"What a white rice eater, are you the eldest lady of your daughter? I can't even make a fire, I go out today, I can come back in three days, these three days, you make a fire at home to cook, if you are hungry brother and sister, I want you to look good. ”
An An's hands were kneaded together, and her teeth were biting her lip stubbornly.
At this time, she hated Leng Xi very much in her heart, her so-called fifth uncle.
Why is he so ruthless? To throw yourself to such a mean family?
When she has the opportunity to return to the capital, she must settle accounts with him, even if she is young now, when she grows up, she will find him to settle the account.
"What do you see? Go get some firewood and ......."
The big girl's insult broke An An's thoughts, she hurriedly walked on her short legs, fluttered and ran to the firewood and grass pile, picked up a little firewood and grass, and walked towards the firewood room.
"What a waste, what are you doing with these few sticks of firewood? Go get it again. ”
The big girl's cursing continued until the meal was served, and An An stood at the door of the firewood room, looking at the food on the table, not daring to step forward.
The man raised his hand to greet her,
"Xiaohong, come over for dinner."
The big girl hurriedly picked up the chopsticks and knocked down his hand,
"She's not hungry, you can eat quickly, you have to go out after eating."
Grandma's face sank for a moment, and she murmured dissatisfiedly:
"You too have children, do not do iniquity."
As she spoke, she picked up an empty bowl, filled some food, brought it to An An, and said softly:
"Girl, eat!"
An An looked at her grandmother gratefully, timidly took the bowl, sat at the door of the firewood room, and ate it in small bites.
Although the eldest girl was dissatisfied, she didn't say anything, but said to her grandmother:
"The two of us will go to the city in a while, you take care of this girl at home, don't let her get lost? Otherwise, we won't be able to make a difference. ”
"Why are you going into the city again?"
The old lady's voice became harsh, and the big girl hurriedly smiled as if flattering:
"Well, isn't my eldest sister's grandson always sick, I'm looking for something to buy her and send it."
"Where did you get the money?"
"You don't have to worry about that, you just have to take care of your home."
"Humph!"
Grandma snorted coldly, "Run outside all day long, quickly empty the little food at your sister-in-law's house, and run to other people's houses, can you grow snacks, they are not easy." ”
Seeing that her mother had misunderstood herself, the eldest girl hurriedly explained:
"Mother, this time is different, we are not going to borrow rice and noodles, we really want to buy some food for the child this time, you know, my sister-in-law is not in good health, the child has a dying disease, she used to help us a lot, the two of us discussed yesterday, we can't help anything else, go buy some food for the child to send."
Hearing this, the man sitting next to her suddenly rolled his eyes and asked loudly:
"Didn't you say that you would give them a little money to see the child? How did it become just a few foods? How can you not talk without words? ”
"What are you yelling about?"
The big girl rolled her eyes at the man,
"I'm already a favor to give them some food, and I will give them some silver, and you think that the silver is blown by the wind? Where does this home not need silver? ”
"You can't talk and don't talk? I knew that this was the case, and I wouldn't have agreed to kill me yesterday, and since you regretted it, then I also regretted it, and I will go to that person now......"
Seeing that the man was about to get up, the eldest girl was anxious, and she hurriedly grabbed the man,
"Okay, don't spoil my good deeds, it's a big deal to lend them a tael of silver."
"A tael of silver?"
The man stretched out a finger and glared at her with a red face and a thick neck,
"You're asking for food? What is one or two pieces of silver enough for? Over the years, you have taken more than one or two pieces of rice and noodles from their family, and you can say it. ”
The eldest girl gritted her teeth hatefully, dropped the chopsticks in her hand, and yelled dissatisfiedly:
"Two taels at most?"
"Five taels ......"
"Two Two ......"
"Then I'll go find the man in black, I won't do such a hurtful thing."
