Chapter 497: Sad Morning
Although his mother-in-law said this, Tian Fugui still felt that it was all comforting words, and once he said it, the consequences would be unimaginable;
Thinking of this, he glanced at the mother-in-law beside him again, and at that moment, he felt that the mother-in-law's face had never been as thin as it was today, looking so thin, so haggard, and so sad......! I gambled, gambled, and gambled with people yesterday......
"Gambling money, where did you get the money to gamble with others?" his mother-in-law immediately raised her eyebrows and asked him with wide eyes. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Whew!" Tian Fugui lowered his head, not daring to meet his mother-in-law's surprised expression, he just shook his head and sighed, "It's not that my left eye has been beating for a while, I've heard people say that the left eye jumps wealth and the right eye jumps disaster, so I ...... I'll just ...... I believe it!" he slammed his fist against his palm, and when he said a beat, and when his tone was agitated, he continued to beat until he was finished.
Speaking of this, he could no longer suppress the self-blame and grief in his heart, and even covered his face with his hands and cried, "Oh my God! As a result, I lost more than a dozen dollars on my body, and I borrowed sixty taels of silver from others......
"Ah, you borrowed sixty taels of silver...... his mother-in-law has always endured the suppressed sadness in a frightened heart, and listened to him strongly. At that time, she had made all kinds of assumptions in her heart: could it be that the woman who was molesting someone outside was caught and coerced, could it be that the few acres of land deeds that supported the family were lost to him, could it be that someone had set his sights on our girl and wanted to force him to agree to this family business...... She made many assumptions, but she never imagined that he would go back to gambling and owe a huge debt.
Although his mother-in-law was mentally prepared to listen to him, it was far from the result she secretly expected in her heart. So she suddenly had the feeling that she had seen a squib on the ground, which hadn't exploded for a long time, and she thought she had to go over and see if she should light another fire. However, when she approached the Squib, and had already stretched out her hand, and was only a little away from the Squib, there was a bang, and the Squib exploded!
Therefore, she was taken aback, and immediately frightened her legs and feet weakened, and she collapsed to the ground and fainted. She was like this now, and immediately fell headlong on the bed and fainted.
Tian Fugui's eyes widened, his face was as pale as dirt, "the kid, what's wrong with you!" He picked up the fainting mother-in-law, let her fall on his chest, and carried her shoulders with both hands, shaking constantly, "the child, what's wrong with you, don't scare me, wake up quickly!" He panicked and shouted to the heavens and the earth, and his mournful voice made the people who passed by their door like snow, and they were shocked and frightened.
At this time, the sky was just dawning, and the hazy sky light was peeking in through the window. Because of the private meeting with Ding Ding late at night last night, Tian Rourou was still sleeping soundly at this moment, but the wailing of her father next door was like the sound of the earth cracking, which woke her up from her sleep.
As soon as she opened her eyes, she could still hear her father crying out in mourning next door, "the kid, Guixiang...... the kid, Guixiang, wake up...... ...... you wake up" Tian Rourou was startled, hurriedly jumped out of bed, hastily put on her clothes, and called out in her mouth, "Daddy, Daddy, what's wrong......"
Tian Rourou rushed open the door of her parents' room, and through the brighter and brighter morning light, she saw her mother's face as pale as death, and her father hugged her and was sad and crying. Tian Rourou shouted in surprise: "Mother, what's wrong with you? Daddy, what's wrong with my mother?" she shouted while leaning over the edge of the bed, grabbed her mother's cold hands, grabbed her hands, put them on both sides of her cheeks, and warmed her mother's cold hands with the temperature of her cheeks.
At this time, her mother gradually woke up and opened her eyes, "Rou'er, don't be sad, child, mother is fine!" her mother said angrily.
Seeing her mother Su wake up, Tian Rourou wiped away the tears on her face, somewhat relieved, "Mother, what's wrong with you?" she asked, "You have always been in good health, why did you suddenly faint! What is uncomfortable now? I will go to the city to ask a doctor to diagnose and diagnose you!" She always held her mother's hand and asked her with concern.
Her father, on the other hand, still held her mother's body, resting her back on his chest, and he did not say a word, but his face was very ugly, and he sighed for a long time.
"Rou'er, no!" said her mother, struggling to sit up straight, clutching her daughter's hand tightly with a melancholy expression, but she tried to squeeze out a smile to replace it, and the smile turned out to be like a cabbage with salt and sugar, and it was hard to swallow. It also made Tian Rourou feel that her mother's smile at this time was deeper and more helpless than any kind of sad expression. She said, "My mother is not feeling well today, you can go cook breakfast, child!"
"Hey!" Tian Rourou left her parents' bedroom with a very sad mood. As she walked out the door, a stream of tears welled up in her eyes, down her well-defined cheeks to the corners of her mouth, and then crystal tears formed on the bottom of her pointed chin, dripping on the ground and splashing small splashes.
She didn't know what was going on between her parents, but she could feel that it was going to be a very serious thing, something that would be a disaster for the family. However, the thought of her family, which had always been empty and destitute, and who would be overwhelmed by any disaster, was disheartened and had no confidence in the future.
She went to the kitchen and opened the back door to let the morning light shine into the gloomy kitchen. Today's weather is not good, the sky is bleak, the fields are overcast and windy, the cold north wind pours into the kitchen from the back door one after another, but Tian Rourou can no longer feel the cold. Her mind and body were temporarily numb because of grief.
He washes pots, washes dishes, lights fires, and adds firewood to the stove, all of which she completes in an unconscious mechanical state. Because, her mind is thinking about the terrible things in the future. She grew up in a poor, depressed, and inferior living environment, which made her form a pessimistic thinking pattern; whenever she encountered difficulties and setbacks, all she thought of was despair, sorrow, and desolation.
Until the tongs reached into the hearth, and the firewood and grass caught on it began to burn, but she did not care, and then mechanically pulled out the tongs, so that the burning firewood and grass still caught on the tongs, with a raging flame, followed the tongs drawn out of her hand, and rushed out of the stove, and rushed towards her.
With a bang, the bright red tongue of fire made a big joke in front of her, and immediately woke her up! Therefore, she hurriedly pushed the tongs in her hand into the stove, so that the arrogant flames of the stove could be stabilized. made them honest and orderly barbecue the bottom of the black pot, and also made Tian Rourou's thoughts suddenly return to reality.
At this time, she realized that the little water that was put in the pot overnight had already been boiling and boiling. The whirring boiling water, bubbling with bursts of steam, seemed to be complaining to her with all kinds of helpless anger: why don't you brush the pot and cook!
At this moment, Tian Rourou suddenly heard someone knocking on the door of the hall, and it was only then that she remembered that she had come to the kitchen as soon as she got up, and she forgot to open the door. In their area, there has always been a saying: the first thing to do in the morning is to open the door to welcome the arrival of a new day and accept more good fortune and fortune into the door.
And today, their house seemed destined to be a sad day, she got up together, went straight to the kitchen, but forgot to open the door! In this way, she could not help but add an ominous premonition and a feeling of chagrin and self-blame to her heart for no reason.
The door creaked open, and I saw a young man with a fat head and big ears outside the door. The man did not look to be more than forty years old, his face was flat, his eyebrows were sparse, and his eye sockets were sunken by the bloated fat on his cheeks, which made it look like his eyes, which were originally large, as narrow and small.
There are still some faint wrinkles on his flat forehead, as long as he tilts his face slightly, those faint wrinkles will be very obvious.
He was dressed in a wide grass-green cotton robe, and the chubby backs of his hands were exposed on the outside of his sleeves, so that people could see the clear knuckle marks on the back of his hands. He was staring at Tian Rourou in surprise with a pair of eyes that were squeezed inward by the fat on his cheeks, and looked at her with a smile on his face full of fat and asked:
"Excuse me, is this Tian Fugui's home?"
