"When my father died, you promised to take good care of his wife and children, so he could rest in peace. But, how did you do it?"
As soon as Hua Erniu said this, Hua Ergou's expression trembled, and he immediately took over and continued:
"When my mother gave birth to my younger brother, none of you helped her. You didn't even give her food to eat! My father had just died at that time, and you lived in my house and ate my food!"
"My eldest sister went to the kitchen to make some porridge for mom, but..."
At this point, Hua Ergou was already in tears, becoming increasingly agitated, his throat choked, and he was unable to speak for a while.
At this time, Hua Erniu calmly replied, "In the end, my aunt slapped me and scolded me for stealing food and wasting firewood."
The four brothers and sisters knelt in front of their uncle and aunt, begging them to give them something to eat so that their mother and their newborn baby brother could survive, but the family remained unmoved.
Uncle Hua even said:
"Your mother lost so much blood giving birth that she's breathing more than she's breathing in. She can't survive even if she's fed. It's better to save the food for the living."
Aunt Hua chimed in:
"The younger one looks skinny and weak, and it's obvious that he can't be raised. Anyway, with you two brothers, your father's family is still alive, so it doesn't matter whether you keep this younger one or not."
Grandma just sat in the room, watching indifferently without saying a word.
However, Hua Erniu and the others knew that the truth was not at all what Uncle Hua and his wife said.
The aunt next door who helped with the delivery said that the birth went smoothly. In those days, no one had enough to eat, so how big could the fetus be?
Because Hua Xiaodi was thin, the delivery went particularly smoothly. Although he was thin, all the babies born at that time were the same thin, so how could he not be able to survive?
His mother was weak because she had just given birth and had nothing to eat, so she had no strength.
In the end, they had to ask other families for help, and they put pressure on Uncle Hua's family to give Hua Erniu's mother a meal, but it was just a bowl of thin porridge with barely a few grains of rice visible.
There was not enough food, and the mother had no milk, so she could only feed her own rations to little brother Hua.
The brothers and sisters wanted to take care of their mother, but their uncle's family forced them to do the work and only gave them a little food.
A few of them went to dig wild vegetables, pick fruits, and pull out foxtail grass to feed their brothers and sisters and their mother.
After the confinement period, Hua Erniu's mother went to the mountains to find food and never came back. It was unknown whether she was eaten by a wild beast or fell to death in some corner.
After the child's biological mother died, the uncle's family searched the entire house, stole the few dollars left by Hua Erniu's father, and drove Hua Erniu and his siblings to live in the woodshed.
After the two brothers Hua Erniu and Hua Ergou spoke, and Hua Damei and Hua Ermei added to their remarks, the whole audience fell silent.
Then the crowd began to talk.
"Yes, yes, I remember that incident. That year, Weizhong didn't give her any food, and the child came to my house begging for food. I went to Weizhong's house and told him, 'Why don't you give your sister-in-law any food? She just gave birth. How cruel!'"
"That's right, this family is so ugly!"
"I always saw Erniu and Ergou picking wild vegetables, and I knew their uncle wasn't good to them, but I didn't expect him to be so cruel. Oh, my, brothers and sisters without a father or a mother are so pitiful."
"This family dares to do it but dares not admit it. Who are they pretending to be?"
"I didn't expect anyone would come to these children's grandparents' house! They just think that since these children have no one to support them, they will act without any scruples, right?"
With every word uttered by the crowd, Uncle Hua and Aunt Hua's faces grew darker.
Finally, Hua Erniu sneered:
"Food, clothing? The five of us brothers and sisters earn a total of 18 work points for our family every day, not a full one, but how much food do you give us?"
"There are five of us brothers and sisters, and we only have two sweet potatoes that are less than the size of a palm!"
As soon as these words came out, there was a sound of gasps from the crowd.
"Such small sweet potatoes are used to feed pigs, right?"
"Oh my god, I can't even eat this much by myself!"
"Five people! Working all day and that's all they eat?"
Listening to the discussions around him, Hua Ergou spoke again:
"This is only when you're willing to give us food. There's at least half a month out of every month when you won't even give us a single bite to eat!"
The more she listened, the more violently Wang Jingxia's chest rose and fell, and her eyes widened, almost as if they could spit fire!
Wang Jingxia said angrily:
"The child's grandfather would send some money and bills every month, but you embezzled them all and didn't spend a single cent on the child, did you?"
Hua Erniu was shocked, and then even angrier:
"I haven't seen any packages from my grandpa's family, not even a letter!"
Uncle Hua and Aunt Hua were speechless now. They simply kept silent and pretended to be dead.
After hearing the experiences of these children, Wang Jingxia was furious and heartbroken and burst into tears. Then she slapped the couple one by one, sending them flying and falling to the ground.
The crowd gasped again.
"hiss……"
"It looks painful."
"Damn it, they deserve it!"
Wang Jingxia didn't want to argue with this family anymore, so she walked straight into the house, grabbed things in the house and threw them out.
After being beaten, no one in the family dared to stop him.
Of course, she didn't let the people inside go and threw them all out.
The scene was in chaos for a while. The children who were thrown out were crying loudly, the men were trembling, and the women were sobbing.
Hua Erniu took a deep breath and said in a deep voice:
