But I heard Uncle Yuan say: "What are you talking about! Aren't those sons and daughters all flesh that fell from their bodies." ”

But I heard Aunt Yuan say: "That girl is going to marry out in the future, and when she is raised, she will be raised by someone else's family, and when her son grows up, she will be able to set up a household and provide for her father and mother, how can it be the same."

The girl has to get married sooner or later anyway, that is, to earn a dowry, so now that she sells it, she can eat a few years less!

What's more, now that they have been sold, they can't be recovered, so it's better to live a good life! Now go back to their old house, it's either leaking wind or rain, stupid or not. ”

Then Uncle Yuan's sarcastic voice came, "Yo! Then why don't you sell your daughter?"

As a result, I didn't expect Aunt Yuan to hesitate and say: "That's not that no one pays such a high price!"

Then I heard Uncle Yuan's angry roar, "You really dare to think that our family is not unable to eat, we can't live anymore, and we are not poor enough to sell our sons and daughters, let me tell you, if you dare to have this kind of thought in the future, I will sell you first." ”

Aunt Yuan didn't expect such a big reaction from Uncle Yuan, and said with some grievances: "I'm not doing this for our family, it's for the good of my son." ”

Third Uncle Yuan was completely angry this time, fell his chopsticks, and scolded angrily: "I said that my son is getting lazier and lazier, and his feelings are all taught by you, a wicked mother-in-law, and my Yuan Laosan is an upright man, even if he starves to death, he will not sell his daughter."

My son wants to live a good life in the future, so he earns it himself, and he thinks about relying on others. ”

Then there was the sound of punching and kicking and the cry of Aunt Yuan.

Lixia used to think that Uncle Yuan San liked to beat his daughter-in-law and was not a good person, but Aunt Yuan San was hardworking and willing to work, but she was always beaten and very pitiful, but now Lixia understands that you can't just look at the surface of things.

From their conversation, Lixia knew that his mother and brother had returned to their family's old house, which was the old house left by Lixia's biological father.

Although Lixia no longer has any memory of living in the old mansion, after all, they are all in the same village, and they still know the specific location of the old mansion.

I followed my memories and found the past.

Lixia stood at the gate of the dilapidated courtyard, but he was a little timid and didn't dare to go in, six years apart, and didn't know how to get along with his mother and brother.

Lixia always thought that her mother only loved her brother and didn't care about herself, but now she knows that she doesn't care about herself at all, but in her heart, she is not as important as her brother.

Maybe it's because he has received too little love since he was a child, but just a little bit of love, Lixia still feels happy, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously rise.

Suddenly hearing heavy footsteps walking in, Lixia immediately turned around and hid by the wall, completely forgetting that she still had an invisibility charm on her body now, and ordinary people couldn't see her at all.

After hiding behind the wall, Lixia looked back and saw his mother, who was much older, carrying a large bundle of firewood and walking home.

is only about 30 years old, but he looks like he is in his forties, so you can imagine that these years have not been good.

Lixia watched her walk to the gate of the courtyard with great difficulty, put down the firewood on her back, and went to knock on the door again, and after a while, there was a sound of a male duck's voice in the courtyard.

Lixia guessed that this should be his brother Lichun.

Sure enough, after a while, the courtyard door opened, and a thin young man appeared behind the door, and his face could still be vaguely seen when he was a child, but he grew taller and thinner.

Lixia heard him say in that piercing voice: "Mother, why did you come back and go to chop wood again, didn't you say that if you don't go to work tomorrow, I'll go with you?"

Mother Wang's smiling voice came, "It's okay, just passing by, I picked up some branches on the way and came back, it's autumn, the weather doesn't wait for anyone, I can't tell when it's going to be cold, so this firewood! ”

Lichun helped Wang carry the firewood to the grass shed and put it away, but he continued without stopping in his mouth: "It's not bad for half a day, I'll go with you to chop firewood tomorrow, let's borrow a board car, and we can pull a little more back at a time."

Okay, wash your hands! I've finished my meal, I've brought back meat, and I've eaten and rested early. ”

The mother and son entered the house while talking.

Lixia came out from behind the wall and looked at the wooden door in a daze.

I didn't expect my brother, who used to only know how to play, now he also knows how to work and knows that he feels sorry for his mother.

Lixia sat on the stone pier at the door, his consciousness released, and listened to their conversation.

After her mother Wang washed her hands, she and her brother Lichun went to the dinner table to prepare for dinner.

It is said that it is a dining table, it is a wooden plank, nailed with four legs, and fixed with four crossbars.

The food is also very simple, two bowls of gruel, two coarse bread, a plate of pickles, and a plate containing about half a catty of pig's head meat.

Listening to his brother Lichun's words, this meat is still brought back by him, if there is no meat, it is estimated that what he usually eats is pickled vegetables.

Sure enough, I heard my mother Wang's reproachful voice and said, "Why waste this money to buy meat, my mother has no shortage of food at home." ”

Brother Lichun said while eating: "I can't even eat a cake with gruel and pickles, I don't even know you." ”

Wang said angrily: "What are you talking about! There are still a few old hens at home! There are a lot of eggs, which is not enough for me to eat, not to mention, there are still wild vegetables to eat, that is, I came back late today, and I didn't care about digging a little."

Don't eat all this meat, keep a little, catch up with tomorrow, let's dig some wild vegetables and fry them. ”

Lichun said sullenly: "Okay." ”

Wang tore the coarse dough cake into pieces and soaked them in the gruel, and while eating, he asked cautiously: "I earned my wages, don't spend it indiscriminately, save it well!"

By the way, has there been any news of your sister in the past half month?"

Lichun ate for a moment and said: "Not yet, the tooth shop in the city, I have asked all over the past few years, no one has heard of it, maybe it has been too long, I don't remember." ”

After a long time, Wang sighed and said, "It's really not good, forget it!"

Lichun was about to say anything more, but was interrupted by the Wang family, "You can't be delayed in order to find your sister, it was my mother who was not partial and didn't treat your sister well enough, so that the family dared to fight this idea."

It's my mother's fault, but over the years, we have made you suffer a lot in order to find your sister, and the family has not praised it. You are also sixteen years old this year, and you are the same age as you, and you are all married, so we should also ponder and find your relatives. ”

Seeing what Lichun was going to say, Wang waved his hand and continued: "I lost your sister, my mother is already sorry for your father, I can't delay you anymore, I have to leave him some incense."

If you have the heart, you can continue to look for it if you have a good life in the future. ”
