Chapter 7 You Sold It and You Counted the Money for Her
When Mrs. Liu heard this, she was certain.
She thought to herself that it seemed that her mother-in-law had really accomplished this.
Although Xinbao is a sick child, she is pretty. If we sell her for a few taels of silver, the family can have more meat to eat. Moreover, even if her clothes are no longer wearable, the silk flowers and other things can be given to her daughter.
Moreover, it's not just about these things. The main thing is that Xinbao is a sickly person and it cost a lot of money to treat his illness. As long as this expense is gone, the money earned by the first wife, even if most of it goes into Tang Sanshui's mouth, their second wife can still get some benefit.
Little Liu was thinking in her heart and crying, "Xinbao is still a baby, how can grandma do this! Even if my uncle is sick, he can't have this idea! Everyone knows that the eldest wife loves that child the most, how sad she must be... I heard that those places have people supporting them behind the scenes, and each of their thugs is like a wolf, you can't afford to offend them. I'm really worried that Fan'er and the others can't stand it and do something stupid... Oh, my, if I'm at home, I have to protect Xinbao even if it costs me my life..."
Xiao Liu was always like this outside. All the bad things were always her mother-in-law's ideas, and her mother-in-law did it all for her brother-in-law. She was the only innocent and pitiful one who had no choice...
The young wife was listening to what was said at first and was nodding her head, wanting to agree with what was said, but the more she listened, the more she felt something was wrong.
People these days are also very straightforward, so she asked her: "How do you know it was sold to that kind of place?"
Little Liu choked suddenly.
She realized she had slurred her words, and when she tried to correct them, the young wife's eyes were already wrong: "No wonder! No wonder, it's been so many years since I last saw you go back to your parents' home, and you didn't even come back on the third day of the New Year. What the hell, why did you come back and stay overnight? You must have known that your mother-in-law was going to do this vicious thing, so you hid in advance!!"
Xiao Liu said anxiously: "No! I am..."
She choked.
The young wife didn't listen at all. She looked her up and down and said, "I thought you were pitiful, but I was blind! A barking dog doesn't bite! Madam Lin is right. After so many years of hard work, you have really raised a bunch of ungrateful people! If you had remembered their kindness in taking care of you, you shouldn't have watched your mother-in-law sell their flesh and blood! Bah!"
The young wife turned around and left.
She had to tell Madam Lin quickly, and told her not to take care of her foolishly in the future, because she had many tricks up her sleeve! Don't sell her and still count the money for her! Little Liu was also anxious. She chased after her for two steps but failed to catch up, and she didn't chase her hard. She thought of words quickly in her mind, thinking that she could explain to the eldest wife later. As long as the eldest wife believed it, it didn't matter what these people said.
Unexpectedly, after she took two steps, an old woman from the village saw her.
The old woman didn't care about what she could say and what she couldn't say. When she saw that she didn't know, she just started telling her everything.
Mrs. Liu was completely stunned after hearing this.
She never expected that such a big thing would happen just because she was away for two days!
Her mother-in-law and uncle were kicked out of the Tang family? Her filial uncle didn't even plead for mercy? Her face turned pale and she only had one thought in her mind: "It's over, it's all over!!"
Her husband hadn't been heard from for more than two years. To put it bluntly, who knew if he was dead or alive. How could she expect to live after this separation? If it hadn't happened just now, she could have sold herself as a poor person and asked the eldest wife for help. Madam Lin had always been easy to talk to and generous, but now... she, she...
Xiao Liu was so regretful that she wanted to beat her chest and stamp her feet! ! How could she have been so careless and made a mistake just now! !
And over there.
Mrs. Lin talked to the young wife for a while in front of the door, and then sent her away. She sneered and said to herself: "Very good! It's all torn apart, and it's torn apart neatly! We will live a good life!"
She was really furious.
She was a kind-hearted person. She had always taken good care of Xiao Liu. Even if Xiao Liu didn't dare to offend her mother-in-law, she would secretly reveal the news to her, which was also a favor. However... she didn't hold back, thinking about not offending either of them!
Maybe he was planning to wait until the matter was over, come and cry with her for a while, and ask for favors! Continue to take advantage of them!!
The more I thought about it, the more disgusted I became! But I turned around and looked back at my home.
Although the place was shabby, the sons all had smiles on their faces. The fifth and sixth graders were playing and fighting. The second brother Tang held his sister on his knees with both hands and taught her seriously, teaching her not to steal things. The little girl sat in his arms with her big eyes open, with a silly and cute look on her face, and nodded, as if she really understood.
Mrs. Lin couldn't help but laugh again.
All irrelevant people, get the hell out! She doesn't care!
From now on, their family will live a good life! Mrs. Lin didn't feel bad about the food, and cooked a lot of food donated by the villagers. The family ate and then found a place to sleep.
The side rooms had no doors or windows, and only the main room was intact. It was August, neither too cold nor too hot, and we could sleep without a quilt by spreading some grass on the ground.
The whole family huddled together. Tang Qingshan and Big Brother Tang both took off their coats, used them as a blanket and a blanket for each of them, and slept on the grass all night.
When they got up in the morning, the family discussed what work to do.
The amount of gold, silver and banknotes that Naituanzi took out totaled more than forty taels, which was actually not a small amount.
But firstly, the money had to be used in a clear way, and secondly, the family had nothing. The house had to be repaired, doors and windows had to be installed, there had to be a couch to sleep on, pots and pans, food, clothing and daily necessities... It would cost a lot of money to buy all of them.
And Xinbao suddenly got better, so we should also find a good doctor to see him. We can’t save money on this.
Second brother Tang was sick, fourth brother Tang was lame, and the five and six were still young. Only Tang Qingshan and eldest brother Tang were considered strong laborers, but at this moment, the father and son really did not dare to leave.
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
For a moment I really didn't know what to do.
The silly third brother carried his sister out early in the morning. At this moment, he put her in a place like a toddler who just learned to walk, then stepped back with his hands outstretched: "Xinbao, come here, walk slowly, come find me!"
Naituanzi thought she could do it! It was a piece of cake! But in fact, her soft legs were not very useful. She walked unsteadily and often tripped over her left foot. She staggered from side to side. Brother Tang San flew over, caught her sister, lifted her up high and spun her around: "Don't be afraid! Xinbao, don't be afraid, I'll catch you!"
The two siblings were laughing and joking non-stop.
The little girl was held high by him and felt that the tree in front of her looked a little strange, as if it was dying. Suddenly, she had an idea and pointed at the tree: "Hey! That!"
"What's wrong?" Brother Tang San held his sister and looked at her: "What? Nothing?"
The little girl leaned softly against her brother and said, "Head down, dig."
Brother Tang San asked: "What are you digging?"
It was very difficult for Naituanzi to speak long sentences now. Besides, he was not sure what to say and it was hard to explain. So he hugged his brother's hands with both hands and solemnly asked: "Di Di Dig! Dig down there!"
The organization believes in you! Go, Pikachu! But in the eyes of the third brother, the little ball was white and soft, with its little hands holding him, its cheeks puffed up, and its bright eyes staring at him. The silly brother was so cute that his heart fluttered. Without saying a word, he took the hoe and started digging.
The third brother is only twelve years old, but he is born with great strength. He can make a big hole with a swing of his hand.
The little girl, who had been living with a group of gentlemen who couldn't open bottle caps for many years, looked at them with bright eyes and said, "Wow!!" from time to time.
They also contributed their own help and clapped their hands to cheer him on: "Come on, Dede! Dede is the best!"
The third brother is full of energy.
Soon, the people in the house heard it. Mrs. Lin came out and took her daughter away, patting her body, "Look at you! You have so much energy but nowhere to use it! What are you doing digging for? You've covered Xinbao in dirt!"
Before he could finish his sentence, the third brother yelled, "Dad! Dad, look at what this is!!"
