Chapter 060 If they don't give me face, they will give the kitchen knife face, right?
The next day, after having breakfast at Auntie Song's house, Fan Qingyi borrowed the kitchen knife that she used to feed pigs.
She packed it tightly with dry straw and placed it at the bottom of the backpack.
She also covered it with a thick straw mat, put the small coral in it, and finally sealed it.
The gaps in the backpack are light-permeable and breathable, so there is no need to worry about the child being suffocated.
Auntie Song praised her for her dexterity, but she was also very worried.
"How about I go with you? You alone... I'm afraid you can't beat them."
"Don't be afraid, Auntie."
Fan Qingyi patted the bottom of the backpack lightly, "I'm going to reason with them, not to fight."
Auntie Song laughed, "You are reasoning with unreasonable people..."
Fan Qingyi also laughed, "When reasoning doesn't work, I'll take out the knife. They won't give me face, but they will give the kitchen knife face, right?" Auntie Song
looked at her, with a face that didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"Be careful, don't hurt yourself and the children."
Fan Qingyi nodded obediently, put on the backpack and set off.
Auntie Song took the two sisters to see her off.
They walked straight out of the village, watching her back turn into a black dot, Auntie Song sighed heavily and patted the twins on the shoulders.
"Ali, Zhuzhu, let's go back."
Li Liuli shook her head, "Grandma Song, we're not going back. Zhuzhu and I went into the mountains today. The traps we set up earlier didn't catch any rabbits, so we'll go up the mountain to have a look."
"You two girls..."
Auntie Song frowned, "No, it's too dangerous."
"But my sister and I used to go into the mountains together."
Li Zhenzhu tilted her head and smiled at Auntie Song, "The rabbits my mother ate after giving birth to my little sister were caught by my sister, and the bird eggs were taken out by me climbing trees."
Auntie Song choked.
Looking at the two girls who were not even as tall as her chest, she felt sour and bitter in her heart.
"Your father left money for you, so you don't need to go into the mountains to find food."
Li Liuli looked up at her, "Grandma Song, my father will be gone for more than half a year. The money he left behind will be used to replenish mother's health. It will be gone once it's spent. If we find food, we can save money for a meal and let my mother have an extra good meal, so that your little sister will have milk to drink."
"Ali..."
Aunt Song had a complicated expression, "You are only ten years old, and you are so sensible."
Li Liuli smiled with her eyes curved, "I'm the eldest sister."
Aunt Song touched her head lovingly, "Good child, let your brother Chengran accompany you, Chengran..."
"Grandma."
Hearing that they could go up the mountain, Song Chengran's face turned red with excitement. He smiled shyly at the two sisters, and ran back to get a small slingshot.
"Watch out for the two sisters, they're just over there, don't go inside."
Li Zhenzhu stared at Song Chengran's slingshot for a long time, opened her mouth, wanted to say something but didn't, and glanced at Li Liuli.
Li Liuli shook her head gently at her.
The three of them went into the mountains together. Aunt Song was very worried, and she would come out from time to time to look up at the mountain.
...
On the other side, Fan Qingyi took two hours to reach Fanzhuang.
From a distance, she could see a lot of people sitting around the century-old jujube tree at the entrance of the village, looking straight at her.
Fan Qingyi's steps became slower and slower, her toes digging into the soles of her shoes, and the panic in her heart about having to talk to people was like a raging tide in the sea, hitting her.
She took a deep breath and tried hard to recall her state when she talked to the women in the village yesterday.
When he came up to them, he held his breath and focused, looking at the trees instead of the people, then called out, "Uncles, aunts, and wives, are you chatting?"
"Isn't this Qingyi, a girl from the neighbor's house? Why are you back now?"
"Your stepmother was still arguing with you yesterday, saying that you have been married for so many years, but you never show filial piety during the holidays, and they have raised you in vain..."
"Your brother's marriage is broken, and your stepmother has been selling your debts everywhere these days. You'd better be careful when you go back."
Fan Qingyi slowly calmed down, and he could hear their caring reminders in his ears, and he smiled and thanked them.
"This child doesn't look as scary as before."
"Poor thing, she was such a smart child when she was little, but she was raised by her stepmother and stepfather into that kind of devil."
"Where there is a stepmother, there will be a stepfather! Who would truly love the child of the ex-wife? It's good enough that he didn't die. You may not know, in Liushu Village, a girl was taken to the river to wash clothes by her stepmother before dawn. She fell into the river and no one knew it. One day and night came, and the stepmother found out that the girl didn't come home when she was collecting clothes. After searching for several days, she found the girl's body in the river. Her face was swollen..."
"My God, this is so unkind."
"Who said it wasn't..."
A group of people sighed and watched Fan Qingyi enter her parents' yard. They all felt that the girl was going to suffer on this trip.
"What are you doing back?"
Fan Qingyi almost bumped into Fan Shouli, the younger brother of her stepmother. Fan Shouli frowned and spat, "Bad luck."
He walked past her and was about to go out.
Stepmother Wang Qiuju rushed out from the main room and shouted, "Fan Shouli, that's the money for you to marry a wife, you can't use it to gamble again."
Seeing Fan Qingyi, she was stunned.
Fan Shouli raised his feet and walked out. Stepmother stomped her feet and suddenly shouted, "Your sister hasn't been back to her parents' home for several years. She must have brought money to honor me and your father when she came back."
Fan Shouli paused and turned to look at Fan Qingyi.
Fan Qingyi lowered his eyes slightly, "I don't have money."
"She does, she must have! She's carrying such a big backpack, there must be money in it..."
The stepmother went to dig out the backpack, Fan Qingyi was worried that she would hurt Xiao Shanhu, and stepped aside two steps.
"Look, she's hiding, why would she hide if she has no money!"
When the stepmother said this, Fan Shouli believed it a little bit, and he didn't leave, and asked Fan Qingyi to open the backpack and take out the money.
Fan Qingyi ignored them and walked into the yard, "Where's my dad?"
"I don't know where he went to drink..."
The stepmother winked at her son and wanted to do it herself.
"There is a knife inside, a knife for chopping pigs..."
She said the word "vegetable" lightly, so it was not a lie.
The stepmother's face changed slightly, and she quickly retracted her hand.
Fan Qingyi calmly put down the backpack and opened the lid.
The mother and son could not wait to rush over and met the eyes of Li Shanhu who was chewing her toes.
Li Shanhu, "..."
[Where did the Black Mountain Old Demon come from? ! Ah, there is also a pig monster! ]
Fan Qingyi's mouth curled up slightly, but he quickly suppressed it.
The stepmother frowned and glared at Fan Qingyi unhappily, "What are you doing with a girl in the backpack..."
She stopped talking halfway.
"Did you give birth to this?"
Fan Qingyi hummed, lowered her head and took little Shanhu out, "My daughter Shanhu."
"You gave birth to another girl!"
Fan Shouli repeatedly clicked his tongue, with a look of disgust on his face, "I don't know what Li Wenfeng likes about you, you can't even carry anything, you can't even give birth to a son..."
[Your mouth stinks, did you just come out of the toilet eating shit? ]
The little baby voice stood up for her mother, and a smile spread in Fan Qingyi's eyes.
"I think you are destined to give birth to a concubine."
The stepmother echoed from the side, her eyes full of calculation, "Why not take advantage of your youth to hook up with Li Wenfeng, let him give you all the money he earns, and you can give it back to your brother!"
"Yes, yes, yes." Fan Shouli's eyes lit up and he nodded repeatedly.
"Why should I give him money?"
