"Your sister-in-law's head is so hot, we have to send her to the hospital quickly. Yunyang, go get all the money from under the mat of mother's bed."

Gu Yunyang stood there without moving. He was already 6 years old, but thin and small. His beautiful eyes looked at the woman on the bed with hatred.

“Yuncan, you go!”

The girl, who looked exactly like Gu Yunyang, was also skinny and petite. She glanced at her brother, turned around and ran to another room, lifted the kang mat, and saw that there was nothing underneath. Her face turned pale and she stumbled back, "There is no money under the kang mat."

Gu Yunyang's chest heaved when he heard this, and his hands clenched tightly together. He wished he could rush over and beat the woman on the bed to death!

"She must have stolen it. That's all the money we have. She's so vicious. Let her be burned to death!"

"What nonsense are you talking about? How could your sister-in-law steal money? It was mother who forgot. I bought medicine for her a few days ago. Go to your eldest sister's house and borrow ten yuan."

"I'm not going!" Gu Yunyang stood in front of Gu Yuncan and said, "You are not allowed to go either."

"Gu Yunyang!"

Because of anger, Gu's mother coughed violently. Gu Yunyang's face changed, and he went forward to help Gu's mother rub her back. Gu's mother pushed him away angrily and coughed even more violently.

Gu Yunyang's eyes were bloodshot.

My eldest brother would mail 60 yuan back home every month, but this woman would only give 10 yuan to my mother and hide the rest for herself. My mother was afraid to see a doctor, so she kept coughing and became thinner day by day.

A few days ago, he accidentally discovered that this woman was using the money to support someone else. At that time, he wanted to run up to this woman and kill her, but thinking of his mother and little sister, he had to endure it. If something happened to him, his mother and little sister would have no one to take care of them.

He didn't dare tell his mother, for fear that she would not be able to bear it. He no longer had a father, and no longer had a mother.

Listening to Gu's mother's increasingly intense coughing, Gu Yunyang clenched his fists, turned around and walked out of the house, walked to the door, picked up a piece of plastic sheet and covered himself with it, then rushed into the heavy rain with his small body.

Before Jiang Yiyi opened her eyes, she heard a violent cough. At the same time, a memory that did not belong to her instantly flooded into her mind. She actually traveled through a book and became the supporting actress in a period novel that she stayed up late to read.

The original owner Gao 괗 dropped out of school, under the pretext of saving money for his younger brother who was smarter than him to go to school. In fact, the original owner had a mentor, Bai Jun, whose family was very poor. The original owner wanted to drop out of school and work to support Bai Jun's schooling.

But now it was the poor early 1900s, the private economy was not so developed, and there was no place to recruit people. Just when the original owner was worried, he heard someone say that the Gu family wanted to marry Gu Yunze, who was a soldier, and the gift was 2,000 yuan.

The Gu family used to be a well-known family here. After the reform and opening up, Gu's father set up a construction team and made little money, but the good times didn't last long. One time when he was working, Gu's father fell off the scaffolding and died on the spot. Gu's mother was too sad and her health has been getting worse since then. Gu Yunze was a soldier and couldn't take care of the family. Gu's mother was afraid that she didn't have much time left, so she wanted to find a daughter-in-law to help take care of her little son and daughter.

After hearing the news, the original owner went to the Gu family in person and said that she was willing to marry Gu Yunze, but she wanted a bride price of three thousand yuan, saying that it was for her younger brother to go to college.

Gu's mother agreed immediately, took out all the family savings, and sent a telegram to Gu Yunze saying that she was critically ill and asked him to return home as soon as possible.

Gu Yunze came back overnight, only to find out that it was a lie. He didn't want to get married, but his mother threatened to kill herself. Gu Yunze had no choice but to compromise, get a marriage certificate, and hold a wedding banquet.

On the wedding night, the original owner didn't want to have sex at all, so she used the excuse that she had her period. The next day, Gu Yunze hurried back to the army.

Although they were not married, Gu Yunze would mail back his allowance every month. It was 60 yuan, and the original owner would keep 10 yuan for herself and give 10 yuan to Gu's family for living expenses.

The original owner used the money to buy Bai Jun clothes, shoes and socks, and his favorite food, and even rented a house for him in the county town so that he could rest and prepare for the exam. She ignored her younger brother who was in the same school and only had one steamed bread for each meal, and felt that she had done her utmost to give him a few hundred yuan for his college tuition.

As expected, Bai Jun was admitted to 깊 University this year. The original owner was overjoyed. Not only did she take out all of 깊's money, she also stole the only ten or so yuan in Gu's mother's money box, and left 깊 with Bai Jun to go to Beijing where 깊 was going to college.

Bai Jun went to school, and the original owner worked to earn money. In order to let Bai Jun have no worries, the original owner did all kinds of work and overdrew her body. However, in just one year, she changed a lot and looked like she was in her thirties.

However, Bai Jun did not despise her at all. He always showed concern for her and took good care of her. The original owner was very touched and always looked forward to Bai Jun getting a job after graduation, and she would be his wife who ate public food. But she didn't realize that Bai Jun had never let her go to school, let alone touch her.

Four years later, Bai Jun graduated from university and stayed in Beijing as he wished. He said he would take her out to play before work and buy her new clothes. The original owner happily followed him, but she didn't expect to be deceived by Bai Jun and sold to an old widower in the mountains. The old widower beat and scolded her every day. Within a few years, the original owner was abused to death.

Jiang Yiyi opened her eyes and saw a thin woman with a sickly face. She was hunched over and coughing violently, and her head of white hair swayed with her coughs.

"mother."

Hearing the shout, Gu's mother showed surprise in her eyes and covered her mouth with her hands, trying to suppress her cough, but she coughed more and more, as if she was going to cough out her internal organs.

"Little sister, go get mother a glass of water."

Gu Can seemed to not believe his ears and stared at her blankly. It had been almost two years since his elder sister-in-law married his elder brother, and this was the first time that she called him "little sister".

Mother Gu couldn't believe it either. She even suppressed her cough and stretched out a trembling finger. She asked in a trembling voice, "Old family, how many is this?"

Seeing her horrified look, Jiang Yiyi wanted to laugh, "Mom, my brain is not burned out."

Mother Gu covered her mouth, but quickly let go. "Are you feeling very uncomfortable? I'll take you to the hospital right away."

The sound of rain outside fell into my ears. Mother Gu was so weak that I was afraid she would collapse before reaching the hospital. "I just got caught in the rain, it's no big deal. You drink some water first, and then ask my sister to bring some wine to help me cool down physically, and I'll be fine after a good sleep."

Gu's mother didn't have time to drink water, so she asked Gu Yuncan to get some wine, and the two of them rubbed her front, back, hands and feet.

Jiang Yiyi fell asleep in a daze.

…

"If your family is the in-law, our family is really unlucky. We are all burdens. Today we come to your house and ask for 100 yuan, and tomorrow we come to your house and ask for 100 yuan. They treat us as a bank."

"mother……"

"Shut up, you only know how to produce money-losing stuff. Qin Gang was really blind to fall for you!"

"And your mother-in-law, you are so old, and you let your children go to our house every day to ask for money. Do you have any shame?"

"Why are you staring at me, you little bastard? If you keep staring at me, I'll dig your eyes out!"

Jiang Yiyi opened her eyes again.
