Although my sister-in-law has not given birth to any children in all these years since she got married, if she runs away, my eldest brother will definitely not be able to afford to marry.
Not to mention the money I owed that I still haven’t paid off, not to mention the fact that marrying another one would cost a lot of money!!
Seeing her parents kneeling down in front of her, He Xiaofang had no choice but to agree, after all, they were her biological parents!
As a daughter, how could she watch her parents kneeling in front of her and begging her?
Since her job was taken over by her sister-in-law, she followed her parents back to her hometown, Hejia Village.
He Xiaofang began to work in the fields with her parents every day.
My parents have worked in a factory for half their lives, but now they have to go back to farming. They are not used to it and get sick every other day.
Seeing her parents working so hard every day, He Xiaofang felt sad, so she tried to do as much as she could to help relieve her parents' stress.
After working in the fields, she has to do housework. She is busy even during the slack season.
She has been really tired in the past two years and has blamed her parents, but what's the use of complaining?
They also do this to continue their family line.
If the He family's lineage had died out during my parents' generation, neither of them would have been too ashamed to continue living.
When she first started working in the fields, He Xiaofang felt like she couldn't hold on any longer.
But now she can finish all the work at home and in the fields before eight o'clock in the evening.
Three days ago at noon.
After dinner, He Xiaofang was about to clear the dishes and clean the house, but her mother stopped her and said, "Xiaofang, you've worked hard these past two years. Your father and I have seen all your efforts for this family. While there's nothing to do these days, why don't you take a good rest for a few days?"
He Xiaofang was deeply moved by her mother's words. Her parents had let her rest for a few days because they saw that she had worked so hard in the past two years and they sympathized with her.
He Xiaofang's eyes were filled with tears. She felt that the suffering she had endured in the past two years was not worth mentioning. "Mom, I'm fine. I have to work harder so that you and Dad can have more rest."
Perhaps out of guilt, He's mother was very resolute. "Be obedient and have a good rest these few days. Your father and I will take care of the housework and farm work."
Seeing her mother's insistence, He Xiaofang agreed.
night.
He Xiaofang, who suddenly had some free time, tossed and turned but couldn't fall asleep. She had never gone to bed so early in two years.
Since she couldn't sleep, He Xiaofang wanted to get up and take a walk in the yard. She tried to move and walk lightly for fear of waking up her family.
As soon as she went out, she saw that the light in the living room was still on. He Xiaofang thought that her parents had forgotten to turn off the light, so she wanted to turn it off.
As soon as she reached the door, she heard her mother's voice coming from inside the house. Her mother lowered her voice and asked, "Xiao Gui, did you wake Xiao Fang when you came?"
Soon, the eldest sister-in-law's answer came from inside the house: "No, our footsteps were very light, she definitely couldn't hear it."
He Xiaofang didn't think much about the low-voice conversation between her mother and sister-in-law.
Just as she was about to go back to the house, she heard her sister-in-law's happy voice coming from inside the house, "Mom, the middleman I found replied, saying that Yang Wangen from Yangjia Village is in his thirties and wants to find a beautiful wife.
His parents dote on him very much, and Yang Wangen is their only child. If Yang Wangen takes a fancy to my little sister, a betrothal gift of two thousand yuan wouldn't be too much for us to ask his family for!"
Hearing what her sister-in-law said, He Xiaofang felt as if she was struck by lightning, and she stood there not daring to move.
But her tears were like pearls that had broken off the string, and she couldn't stop them.
How had He Xiaofang wronged her family? In order not to embarrass her parents, she gave her job to her eldest sister-in-law.
In order to make her parents less tired, she gets up earlier than the chickens and goes to bed later than the dogs every day, just to relieve some of the pressure on her parents.
But in the end, she was sold by her parents to pay off their debts. At this moment, He Xiaofang even doubted the meaning of her life.
Hearing the harmonious chatting sounds in the house, He Xiaofang returned to her room in a daze.
That night, He Xiaofang didn't close her eyes all night. She thought about a lot of things, such as the days when Du Wanying had not yet gone to Kyoto, and the fact that she did not take the college entrance examination in order to pay off her family's debts.
After thinking about it all night, He Xiaofang decided to wait until her parents got up from work tomorrow, go to their room to get the money, and then run away to join Yingying.
The next day, He Xiaofang got up at dawn.
In order to prevent her parents from noticing anything unusual, she got up as usual, made breakfast in the kitchen, and then went to feed the chickens and pigs.
After breakfast.
"Mom, I want to send a letter to Yingying later. Can you give me some money?"
Over the years, He Xiaofang and Du Wanying have always kept in touch, but she only reports good news and not bad news.
So He's mother didn't doubt it, but took out a dollar from her pocket and gave it to He Xiaofang.
He Xiaofang was a little dazed looking at the one dollar in her hand. In the past, at this time, thirty cents was considered a lot for her mother to give her. She didn't expect that this time she would give her one dollar.
Seeing her mother's guilty expression, He Xiaofang pretended not to notice and feigned surprise and thanked her, "Thank you, Mom, but I don't need a dollar, three cents will do."
"Here, take it. You've suffered a lot in the past two years. It's a good opportunity to go to the county town and buy some delicious food."
He Xiaofang looked at her mother and smiled, but she felt very ironic in her heart.
Her parents were about to sell her off to pay off their debts, so they felt guilty? So they were being nice to her?
When no one was at home, He Xiaofang started rummaging through the drawers and cabinets looking for money, but she didn't find a penny after searching the entire house.
What He Xiaofang didn't know was that all the money in the house was taken away by her sister-in-law last night.
