37. Chapter 37 Shen Hongling’s Past



Ningning didn't speak just now, why did she seem to hear Ningning speaking just now? Ningning also said that Yuyu was a genius? Shen Hongling smiled bitterly. Although she had never been to school and only attended literacy classes, Shen Hongling knew what a genius was and what a fool was.

Although she was unwilling to admit it, and didn't want others to say it, she had to admit that Yu Yu was indeed different from other ordinary children.

Yu Yu really can't speak, and her behavior is often strange.

Even when talking to him, Yu Yu wouldn't listen most of the time, and sometimes she would scream when she got impatient.

Everyone said that Yu Yu was a fool and a mute, even Shen Hongling believed it.

She took Yu Yu to the county hospital.

The doctor in the county said that Yu Yu was indeed sick and abnormal, but he could not see anything with his ability, so he suggested that she take the child to a large hospital in a big city to see a specialist.

Shen Hongling also wanted to take Yu Yu with her. She wanted to prove that her Yu Yu was not a fool, but she couldn't go.

Not to mention that she had a blind mother-in-law to take care of, her family was also very poor and had no money to support her to take Yu Yu to a big city for medical treatment.

She knew that going to a big city would require many days of train travel and going to a big hospital would cost a lot of money.

But she really has no money.

Shen Hongling was not originally a member of the Qinghe Production Team.

When she was 9 years old, a famine occurred in her hometown and her parents took her and her brothers and sisters to flee.

But at that time, there was famine everywhere, and one of her sisters and one of her brothers starved to death on the way.

When they fled to the Qinghe Production Team, Shen Hongling fell ill and her brother was almost starving to death.

There were originally four children, but now only she and her brother are left.

Shen Hongling was already very sensible at that time. She looked at her crying parents, her brother who was lying on the ground with a pale face and almost dying, and herself who was coughing constantly.

In the end, Shen Hongling and her parents decided to sell themselves.

Yes, that is to sell her to someone else as a child bride.

But in that era, many people could barely support their own children, so how could they raise a child bride?

But in the end, she was sold to Xu Weiping of the Xu family as a child bride for half a bag of sweet potatoes.

Xu Weiping was only a 10-year-old boy at the time.

She was bought by Xu Weiping's mother, that is, her blind mother-in-law. At that time, her mother-in-law was only in her thirties and still very young.

But his eyes were already blind by then.

No one knows exactly how my mother-in-law became blind.

Some people said that she cried until she went blind because her husband left with another woman and she was abandoned.

Some people also said that it was because she went to the mountains and accidentally encountered a snake, and the snake's venom sprayed into her eyes, poisoning her eyes and causing her to become blind.

Shen Hongling didn't know what it was exactly, and didn't dare to ask.

All I know is that my mother-in-law is indeed blind, but not completely blind. She can still see some light. However, it still causes inconvenience to her movements, and she can't go out to work in the fields.

When she was bought into this home, there were only her future husband and mother-in-law living in the family.

Later, Shen Hongling settled down in this house.

Both her mother-in-law and her future husband were very nice to her.

Later, when she was 18 years old, she married her husband, Xu Weiping.

The next year, she gave birth to her son Xu Yu.

Why is she called Xu Yu? Because the night before she found out she was pregnant, Shen Hongling dreamed of a red jade pendant-like object that was put into her belly.

The next day, Shen Hongling was discovered to be pregnant.

Later, when the child was born, she remembered the dream and named the child Xu Yu.

Although it is not valuable nowadays, in ancient times, jade was something that ordinary people could not use or afford casually.

In such a long sentence, Shen Hongling only heard the word "baby".

Jade means treasure.

That's right, her child is her baby.

Yuyu is a very well-born child, prettier and cuter than ordinary children.

Shen Hongling thought that her happiness would continue like this, but the accident still happened.

That year, a flood occurred and Xu Weiping and many people in the production team were conscripted to repair the dam.

But somehow, when they went to repair the dam, the dam, which seemed to be in good condition, suddenly collapsed, and the flood poured down directly.

It also washed away the people who were building the dam.

Some who were good at swimming swam up by themselves, while others who were lucky enough hugged big trees, stood on big rocks and survived.

Those who were not good at swimming or had bad luck died in the accident.

At that time, 36 people went there and 12 died, and Xu Weiping was one of them.

At that time, they had just been married for less than two years.

That year, their child had just been born and their Yu Yu was only 4 months old.

The mother-in-law lost her only son, she lost her husband, and her son lost his father.

Only the widowed mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were left to face the hardships of life with their 4-month-old child.

Life became more difficult from then on.

Shen Hongling is the only working force in the family. She has to go to work and earn work points to support the whole family. She also has to work and take care of her mother-in-law and Yuyu.

The burden of life fell on her, a young woman.

Shen Hongling worked very hard, but she could only earn 8 work points a day at most. Even if she worked non-stop all year round, the work points she earned were not enough to support her family of three.

The family had no savings, and Shen Hongling was always afraid that she and her family would get sick.

Because once you get sick, your family won’t have the money to treat you.

But there is always someone who gets sick.

Especially since my mother-in-law is old and Yuyu is still young, she has to work every day without rest, so she always gets tired and falls ill.

Fortunately, there are still kind people in the village who helped them overcome many difficulties.

Xu Jinning's mother is one of them. Zhang Ailian is the one who helped her family the most, and now her family still owes Sister Ailian money and tickets.

Shen Hongling remembers all of these.

Originally, Shen Hongling thought that no matter how difficult life was, it would be like this.

But unexpectedly, God seemed to think that the suffering he had given her was not enough.

There is a problem with Yu Yu.

She and her mother-in-law found that Yu Yu didn't speak, and even didn't respond to many things in the outside world, and sometimes she would scream for no reason.

At first, they just thought that Yu Yu might be developing slowly, but gradually, they found that this was not the case.

Until one day, an aunt from the village came to their house and saw Yuyu's condition. She blurted out: "Yuyu's condition looks a bit like that of the fool in the production team next door."
