Chapter 1327 Liu's Offline 2
"Dad, calm down first. She's already married and is a mother now. You have to take responsibility for any decision she makes. Let's just focus on the present. Mom's health isn't very good."
Liu Dashan also said with a frown.
He felt that his sister was spoiled by their mother, and was selfish and self-centered, without any regard for family affection. She just followed Zhang the peddler. If he treated her well, it would be fine. But if he had other intentions, they would not even have the chance to lend a hand to help.
After Old Man Liu finished scolding his little daughter, he calmed down his rapid breathing and then asked:
"What does the doctor say?"
"The doctor said that my mother had been struggling for the past few years and her health had not been very good to begin with. After the stroke, she was completely unable to move. He was powerless to help her. If she wanted to be cured, she could only go to a big city where there might be famous doctors.
However, Doctor Wang also said that doctors in big cities might be able to treat it, but it would cost a lot of money, one or two hundred taels is not enough, and before the treatment, my mother's health needs to be well taken care of."
Liu Dashan didn't say the rest. It was not that he didn't want to say it, but it was useless to say it. Ten taels of silver was the most his family could come up with now. Even if they sold their entire family, they still couldn't come up with one or two hundred taels.
"If we don't treat her, how long can your mother hold on?"
Old man Liu asked dejectedly, it is really a penny that can make a hero fall.
"If you don't treat it, and take good care of it, it will only take a year or two."
This time it was Liu Dahu who replied.
After hearing this, Old Man Liu waved his hand and said:
"Okay, you guys are tired after a night's work, go get some sleep and eat something. I need to think about this."
In fact, everyone knows that when Old Man Liu said "Think about it", he meant that he had decided to give up on treating Old Lady Liu. As an ordinary farmer, they really couldn't come up with such a large sum of money. As the head of the family, he couldn't let his entire family die because of one person.
Mrs. Liu was in panic as she lay on the bed. She heard everything the doctor said clearly, especially when she learned that her beloved youngest daughter had left Fenghe Town without a word and even took care of her own mother. She began to cry and regretted that she should not have provoked the eldest girl, that little evildoer. Unfortunately, it was too late and she could do nothing now.
Lianyi did this without any burden, because from the day she was born into this family, this family would be blessed because of her existence. Unfortunately, because of the existence of Liu Pozi, her blessings were suppressed.
And when she grew up, after looking at Mrs. Liu's face several times, she was sure that this family would eventually be broken up because of Mrs. Liu's existence, so she took action to deal with Mrs. Liu and prevent her from making trouble.
Otherwise, she would have been sold when she was one year old. Zhuang Sisi would have divorced Liu Dashan because of this incident. After Hehua gave birth to a daughter, she was afraid that her daughter would also be sold, so she insisted on dividing the family.
The third son, under the manipulation of Mrs. Liu, will marry her niece from her mother's side, and his life will be neither exciting nor boring, without any sense of happiness at all.
Because of the money from selling her niece, Liu Pingping was able to marry the student as she wished. Not only did she get some money, she also often went back to her parents' home to beg for money, sucking the blood of her parents' home to support her man.
Finally, after the man graduated from high school, his wife was demoted to a concubine. Although she lived a so-called rich life, unfortunately she could not show her worth in public all her life. Her child was also changed from a legitimate son to a illegitimate son, and she was blamed by the child all her life.
All of these were completely changed because of Lianyi's arrival. When Mrs. Liu attacked her, her life began to count down.
Mrs. Liu only lasted three months before she passed away. After the funeral, the Liu family lived a more peaceful life. Lianyi would pick up money and bring it home from then on, which slowly helped the Liu family recover and life became less difficult.
Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. When Lianyi was six and a half years old, a drought hit Xuzhou where Liujiazhuang was located. A large number of crops in the fields died because there was no water for irrigation.
During this period, the oil lamp in Old Man Liu's house would be lit very late. Finally, when the autumn harvest was completely hopeless, Old Man Liu called the whole family together to discuss things.
Lianyi sat at the door of the main house with her younger brothers and sisters, listening attentively to the family meeting inside. As members of the family, they were also indirectly participating in the meeting.
Old Man Liu looked around at his three sons and their wives, as well as his grandchildren who were looking inside. He cleared his throat and said,
"The third daughter-in-law mentioned before that we should leave Liujia Village. I have thought about it for a long time, but I am still a little undecided. After all, this is the root of our Liu family, and the officials above will not ignore us.
But now the fields have no harvest, and the food at home can only last until the beginning of spring, and this is on the premise that everyone does not starve to death. The village has not made any moves so far, and no rules have been put forward, so I am looking for you guys to discuss whether to leave or wait and see. "
The eldest and the second son looked at each other, then turned their gaze to the third son's wife, wanting to hear her opinion.
The third brother Liu Dahu knew about this matter, and his wife had also informed him about it before, so he spoke up:
"Big brother, second brother, Xuer told me about this matter, and I thought it made sense, so I proposed it to Dad.
There is no harvest now, but the grain prices in the town are skyrocketing. The wealthy families are hoarding grain. How much money can farmers like us have to buy grain whose price is getting higher day by day?
Moreover, I also went to the town to inquire about the news these two days. The county magistrate has no intention of opening the granary to release grain. Some people even privately rumored that the county magistrate has already sold all the grain in the granary to the big families and wealthy households.
If this goes on, something bad will definitely happen. When everyone is starving and going crazy, they will do anything. Xuer used to work for a wealthy family, and he can see that something bad will definitely happen in the future, so he wants Dad to take our family away from Liujiazhuang.
While there is food at home and before the road becomes completely chaotic, go to Youzhou City to avoid disaster. Xu'er's former master is there, so at least there is some face there, and maybe there is a way to survive."
Liu Dahu finished his words in one breath and looked at his eldest and second brothers, waiting for their decision.
"You're right, but without a pass, we can't go anywhere!"
Liu Dachuan said with a frown.
Not to mention that it's hard to leave my hometown, having a way to survive is better than staying here and starving to death.
When Liu Dahu heard that his second brother had no objection, he immediately said:
"Second brother, I have already inquired about this matter. Some wealthy families have already started to prepare to leave Fenghe Town. We can blend in with them. The travel permit can be purchased with silver."
"How much silver does our family need?"
Old Man Liu asked.
"I asked, it costs ten taels."
There was a "hiss" sound of inhaling, and everyone felt a little distressed, because this was their year's harvest.
"The money is available from my family, but we have to make sure that the travel permit can be obtained."
Old Man Liu said this with great confidence, and then he glanced at Lianyi who was sticking her head out. Lianyi gave Old Man Liu a sweet smile.
Old man Liu's expression was not so heavy anymore. If they didn't have a blessed granddaughter, Daya, at home, their Liu family would really have to stay in Liujia Village this time.
