Chapter 3: System Surprise (Part I)
At dinner time, Lin Hui brought the boiled wild vegetable porridge, Wen Xi looked at the few rice grains in the bowl, and the wild vegetables floating on it, and kept muttering in his heart.
Others crossed, not the princess but also everyone's young lady, so they were unlucky and crossed into a small peasant girl, or a little peasant girl who was extremely poor.
I didn't do anything to hurt the sky in my previous life, how could I arrange such a fate for myself.
The most comforting thing is that the family is at least harmonious, which is a blessing in misfortune.
"Wow! Rice! Mother, we haven't eaten rice in almost a year! Wen Tao held the bowl and said in surprise.
What? I haven't eaten it for a year?
Hey, fate makes people!
Wenxi took a bowl and took a sip, it was as unpalatable as expected, but at the moment, he couldn't even eat food, so he didn't pick it, quickly filled his stomach, and found a way to go to the back mountain.
Before he had eaten half of his meal, he heard a voice in the courtyard.
"Come on, come on, look, this is it."
As he spoke, he entered the house.
"Hui'er, brother-in-law, come on, this is Zhang Yuanwai, a famous good man in our town." Lin Qiang crossed his hands in his sleeves, wiped the snot that was about to run down with his sleeves from time to time, and said to Lin Hui with a sideways face: "Don't you want to sit down?" β
The person who came was Lin Hui's own brother, Lin Qiang, her maternal uncle.
In the memory of the original owner, the mother's mother's family was originally in the town, although it was not a big family, but she didn't worry about food and clothing, but her uncle was a gambler, and he lost all his property in a few years, and his maternal grandmother was angry to death.
The house in the town was also arrived, and he took his mother to the village, and when he saw that his father's family gave him a bride price, he married his mother.
After my mother got married, she was also looted by her uncle, and a little money was robbed.
For this, the mother cried many times at home.
Fortunately, my father's family has a good temper, otherwise my mother's life must have been miserable.
If you marry into someone else's family, you don't know what you want to be trained into.
Thinking of this, Wen Xi's eyes became more and more indifferent when he looked at this uncle.
Zhang Yuanwai frowned and waved his hand: "No need, let's get down to business." β
Obviously, Zhang Yuanwai dislikes the dilapidated home.
"Yes, yes, yes." Lin Qiang smiled flatteringly.
Turned his head to Lin Hui and said, "Isn't your old man and old lady dying?" Instead of borrowing money from everywhere, it's better to find a way to do it once and for all. β
After that, he wiped his nose with his sleeve and pointed to Wen Tao, who was sitting on the kang: "Zhang Yuanwai's son is 6 years old this year, and if he wants to find a companion to read, I think of Xiaotao." β
Companion reading? If it sounds good, it is the little guy of the son's brother, and if it is popular, it is a subordinate and a dog's leg.
Also reading with you, do you think it's a book boy for the prince?
Seeing Lin Qiang wiping his nose again, coupled with the appearance of spitting everywhere, Wen Xi frowned fiercely, this person's movements Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β· Not quite right!
"Brother, our doll is still so young, how can we send it to work for others!" Although Wen Kang didn't want to see his eldest brother, he still returned.
"What kind of part-time job? It was to be sold to Zhang Yuanwai's house, and Zhang Yuanwai said that he could give you five taels of silver! Lin Qiang said loudly: "Your family is just a male baby, and it is worth a little silver, if it is the money-losing goods, I don't know how many pennies it can be sold for." He pointed to Wen Xi next to him and said contemptuously.
When the two of them heard that this was going to sell their son! How does this work? You can't sell the child anymore!
"Nope." Wen Xi didn't think about it, and protected his younger brother behind him.
"You little girl, you lose money, how can you speak here?" Lin Qiang said that he was going to start beating people.
Wen Kang grabbed his arm: "Uncle, this is my doll, and it won't be your turn to fight." β
Lin Qiang stopped stupidly.
"Uncle, the matter of selling dolls, needless to say, my family doesn't sell them." Wen Kang's voice was very low, but Wen Xi could hear that his father's attitude was very decisive.
I can't help but give him a thumbs up in my heart.
"Lin Qiang, what's the matter, didn't you say that you would take the money and get people?" Zhang Yuanwai was obviously a little angry, feeling that he had been tricked.
"Outside, you dissipate your anger, my sister and brother-in-law are not bright, let me talk about it."
"Hmph, two days, forget it if it doesn't work! Fuck me off, too! After saying that, he brushed his sleeves away, and said while walking, it was really unlucky.
Lin Qiang looked at the big family in the house, completely lost the flattering dogleg he had just had, and said sharply: "What's the matter with the two of you?" Five taels of silver! That's five taels of silver! β
Wen Tao finally understood what was going on, and couldn't help crying: "Daddy, mother, don't sell me, don't sell meΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·"
Wenxi hurriedly touched his head and whispered, "Don't worry, Daddy won't." β
Lin Hui also hugged her son and said, "Mother's son, my mother won't sell you." β
Lin Qiang pointed at Lin Hui and said, "You said that your family needs money for medical treatment, and now that you have found such a good deal, why don't you do it!" β
Wen Kang and Lin Hui didn't speak, Wen Xi looked at his uncle, and said crisply: "Such a good deal, why didn't you sell your son?" β
Lin Qiang relied on Lin Hui's bride price, reluctantly married a daughter-in-law, and gave birth to a son, who is very precious on weekdays.
Lin Qiang pointed to her nose and scolded, "Where is your place to speak?" β
Wen Kang saw that his eldest brother's attitude was getting worse and worse, and he couldn't help but feel disgusted, and said, "We still have to eat, so we won't send our eldest brother." β
The meaning of driving people out is already very obvious.
Lin Qiang wiped his nose with his sleeve and walked away scolding.
A few people continued to eat, and Wen Xi's wild vegetable porridge, which he had just thought was unpalatable, now felt extremely delicious.
Maybe it's because I have a pair of parents who love their children!
After dinner, Wen Kang went to boil medicine for the two old people, and the medicine that the family had bought with all their savings was about to bottom out, and it couldn't last for two days, and the two old people's bodies not only did not improve, but deteriorated.
made Wen Kang, who was already worried, even more anxious.
Wenxi took advantage of helping Lin Hui clean up the dishes and chopsticks, and came to her side and said that he wanted to go to the back mountain tomorrow to dig wild vegetables.
When Lin Hui heard this, she threw down the work in her hand and was anxious.
"Xi'er, listen to my mother, don't go! You almost lost your life when you fell down this time, and my mother didn't dare to let you go again. β
"Mother, my daughters have grown up, I was careless last time, this time I won't climb the slope, just dig at the foot of the mountain." Wenxi pulled Lin Hui's coarse sleeve and shook it around: "Mother, I will definitely be careful." β
Lin Hui knew that her daughter wanted to reduce the burden on the family and prevent the family from going hungry, she had to take care of the young and the old at home.
She wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with her sleeve, looked at her twelve-year-old daughter, and said softly: "Okay, don't go up the mountain, it's at the foot of the mountain, don't go far." β
With her daughter's assurance, she was relieved to let her daughter dig wild vegetables.
