Chapter 33 How many days can you jump around?
Old Mrs. Chen never dreamed that her eldest son would dare to speak to her like this. She was so angry that her teeth itched and she was puzzled.
In the past, the eldest son was the most obedient. If you told him to go east, he would never go west. If you told him to beat the dog, he would never scold the chicken.
She could scare him with just a glance, but why did he become so tough now? Could it be that his head has become smarter after being bullied?
Impossible, absolutely impossible. No one knows a son better than his mother. A mother knows her son's character better than anyone else.
As the saying goes, a dog will always eat shit, and a cheap bone will always be a cheap bone and will never be able to be put on a big stage.
The family just satisfied their cravings, and after a few days, when they ran out of food and were hungry, they didn't believe that they wouldn't come to beg for forgiveness like dogs.
As the saying goes, a little impatience will ruin a big plan. Let them run wild for a few days and then you will see how I will deal with them.
The more Old Lady Chen thought about it, the more pleased she became. A sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth. "Chen Zhanshan, you have some nerve. I won't argue with you today. I want to see how long you can hold your tongue."
Chen Qingqing sneered, "Old woman, you should think about how to solve your family's problems. It's not your turn to worry about whether our family lives or dies.
You accepted fifty taels of silver from Li the butcher, and I guess you gave it all to your precious third son. Now you have no money to break off the engagement, and no granddaughter to sell.
I don't need to explain what kind of person Li the Butcher is. You should think carefully about your escape route!"
When Old Lady Chen thought of the ferocious look of Li the Butcher, her calves began to cramp and her face turned pale.
"You, what are you talking about, you dead girl?"
Chen Qingqing's eyes flashed with sarcasm, "Old woman, don't think I don't know what you are planning. Are you thinking that when people are hungry, their dignity is worthless?
As long as we have no food and are hungry for a few days, we will wag our tails and beg for mercy from you like a dog.
When that time comes, my father will obediently sell me to Li the Butcher.
I advise you to give up on this idea. Our family will only get better and better and we will never go hungry."
Old Mrs. Chen felt nervous. How could this little girl be so smart that she could see through all her little thoughts?
Even if she knew, what could she do? Without food, she would die.
Old Mrs. Chen curled her lips in contempt, "Silly girl, bragging about your legs won't fill your stomach, and you want to live a good life and not go hungry, you really are a boaster.
Don't think that you and your family won't starve to death even if you eat coarse food. Think about it carefully. What kind of year is it now?
Haven't you heard that Old Wang and his wife in the next village have nothing to eat and have nowhere to beg for food? They starved to death last night.
If you know a thing or two, don't make things difficult for your parents. Just kowtow to me, admit your fault, and marry Li the Butcher obediently.
I will never mistreat your parents and your brothers in the future, otherwise don't blame me for not recognizing my family ties."
Chen Qingqing laughed in anger, "Old woman, you are so pathetic, pitiful, and hateful. You still can't recognize the truth. As the saying goes, it's hard to persuade a damned ghost with kind words. Just wait! One day you will regret it."
"It's still uncertain who will live and who will die. I want to see how long you can jump around." Old Mrs. Chen glared and said harshly with gritted teeth.
After hearing what Chen Qingqing said, Old Man Chen felt bitter. The only fifty taels of silver he had was taken away by his youngest son. If the eldest son's family really refused to give in, Butcher Li would not play tricks on him.
Not to mention fighting, just the sight of Li the Butcher standing in front of him made him tremble all over. It was too damn scary. If this happened a few more times, it would definitely cost him his life!
"Okay, stop talking and go home." Old man Chen pushed Old lady Chen away angrily with a sullen face.
Chen Zhanliang finally realized that this young girl had indeed changed, becoming unbelievable.
Just now, when he saw Li the Butcher attacking Chen Han, he was so scared that his heart was in his throat. He didn't expect that Qing Yatou could easily subdue Li the Butcher.
After watching his parents return to the house, he cautiously took two steps towards Chen Zhanshan and whispered, "Brother, I can't help you much, you have to hold on!"
Chen Zhanshan knew that his second brother was better than his third brother. Although he was lazy and cunning at work, he had a strong sense of justice since he was a child and loved to stand up for others.
He smiled gratefully, "Zhanliang, I appreciate your kindness. Go back and get busy!"
"Okay, I'm leaving." Chen Zhanliang pulled Sun, who was standing there in a daze, and went home.
Chen Qingqing was very depressed. The two ghost brothers asked her to be reborn again and gave her a broken ring that could not only not be eaten or drunk, but also could not be taken off.
Now that we are in this situation and are almost starving to death, it would be great if we could pick them and pawn them for some money!
Brother Ghost said that she was reborn into a royal family, so he would not lie to her.
But what exactly is wrong?
Something must have gone wrong somewhere.
There was no way she would starve to death.
The more she thought about it, the more uncomfortable she felt. Although her parents looked indifferent, she knew they just didn't want to show it in front of her.
Time is running out at home, and I can’t just sit there and wait for death. I have to find a way to make money as soon as possible.
To break the current deadlock, where is the opportunity?
......
Seeing that she was silent, Chen Han thought she was still angry about what happened just now, so he asked cautiously, "Sister, are we still going up the mountain?"
"Go, let's go."
Chen Qingqing picked up her backpack again and had no choice but to go up the mountain to try her luck. Who knows, she might actually find some ginseng.
"Mom and Dad, Xiaohan and I are going up the mountain to dig some wild vegetables. You and Dad should rest at home."
Chen Zhanshan's eyes were full of love. "Qing girl, don't be afraid of anything. As long as Dad is still breathing, I will not let you marry Li the Butcher."
"Dad, I'm not afraid."
Lin warned, "Go early and come back early, and be careful when going up the mountain."
"I know, don't worry!" Chen Qingqing agreed and pulled Chen Han's hand and walked towards the mountains.
Looking at their daughter's departing back, Chen Zhanshan and his wife's eyes dimmed.
Lin's face was bitter, tears welling in her eyes. "Master, our family's food supply won't last for a few days. Do we really have to sell Qing girl to survive? I can't bear to part with her!"
Chen Zhanshan sighed silently, "Don't worry, I'm going to the town dock to find a job. I have to give it a try no matter what."
"Or I can go back to Dahe Village to borrow some rice and deal with the current difficulties first. I believe my parents will not have the heart to marry Qing girl to Li the butcher." Lin wiped away her tears.
Chen Zhanshan shook his head and said, "Xiumei, I'm going to try working in town for a few days. If I can't make any money, I'll ask you to go back to your parents' home."
"We've been married for so many years, so it doesn't matter if we feel wronged or not. As long as the children are doing well, this little bit of grievance doesn't matter."
Chen Zhanshan looked at the white hair growing on his wife's temples. Her originally fair face became haggard, and the corners of her eyes were covered with fine wrinkles.
His eyes were filled with guilt, "Xiumei, marrying me has caused you so much suffering."
