Father-in-law Zhao Jianguo reacted, clenched the wooden stick in his hand, and swallowed his saliva.
"Tree...Tree roots, your mother and I are fine. You don't need to be filial to us. Just be well...that's all."
Sun Jinhua nodded quickly, "Yes... yes, if you are truly filial, don't come to me."
At this time, for some unknown reason, an autumn wind blew, and a dead branch of the sycamore tree in the yard fell down, and as luck would have it, it fell at Sun Jinhua's feet.
Sun Jinhua immediately screamed at the top of her voice.
“Ahhhhhhh…”
While screaming, she hid behind people, hiding behind his eldest son Zhao Dabao. Zhao Dabao was so scared that he pulled Sun Jinhua to the front, and his strong body couldn't help trembling.
Everyone in the yard was panicking. Was the tree root angry?
Xia Feng said with a stern face, "Mom, Shugen is angry and asked if you still blame him for not being able to be filial to you all the time.
He said that he would serve you by your bedside every day and would bring you tea and water to make sure you were comfortable.
These words almost scared Sun Jinhua to death. She hunched her little body while holding Zhao Dabao, not daring to look over here at all.
Xia Feng suddenly saw a child of seven or eight years old staring at the person next to her. She looked straight at him, her eyes getting wider and wider, with no other expression on her face, only the corners of her mouth raised.
"Have you seen your uncle?"
With just one sentence, the woman next to the child covered the child's mouth, pulled the child into her arms, stared at Xia Feng with wide eyes and shook her head wildly.
The strange curve at the corner of Xia Feng's mouth became even bigger.
He whispered a few words to the person next to him.
"Dad and Mom, Shugen asked you all to stay and have a meal together. He will definitely be filial to you. You haven't eaten the food he cooked for a long time, right? He will definitely let you have a good taste.
Don't go, don't go, stay here."
Xia Feng's voice became a little ethereal, and sounded like a ghost to their ears.
The crowd could no longer conceal their fear and began to howl like ghosts and wolves.
They were so scared that they ran out. At this time, the original owner's family, who had quietly slipped to the door while no one was paying attention, no longer concealed themselves and rushed out.
Behind them, my mother-in-law's family also ran out the door.
Because they were in a panic and had no idea what to do, the door was open inwards, and they squeezed it so hard that it closed.
Everyone thought that Zhao Shugen had done something tricky and closed the door, which made everyone even more panicked.
There was another scream.
"Ahhhh, don't squeeze me, the door is closed and we can't get out."
"Run faster! They're chasing you..."
…
After finally opening the door a crack, he almost broke the rusty iron door before running away.
At this moment, Sun Jinhua and Zhao Jianguo, who were almost seventy years old, demonstrated to everyone what it meant to run briskly. Because Sun Jinhua had severe bow legs, she could only run with her legs spread out like a duck, but this did not affect her speed at all.
Xia Feng looked at the yard that was suddenly empty, then suddenly looked up at the heads on the wall.
Standing there, smiling at them, waving at them mechanically.
"Come on, come on, be our guests, and we will treat you well."
To their ears, it sounded like a haunting song, as if the Black and White Impermanence were holding chains to grab them.
Looking at Xia Feng's weird expression and behavior, they immediately lost their balance and fell down one after another like dumplings. Then there was a flapping sound and shouting from the other side of the wall.
Finally, all the people were gone, and Xia Feng breathed a sigh of relief.
The two children came out of the kitchen still holding bowls of water. Xia Feng went to see the children by the wall first.
With her simple medical skills, she could tell that the skinny child was probably malnourished, and had fainted because he was pushed and hit the wall and was bleeding.
Xia Feng immediately picked the person up. The child in front of him, who was about thirteen or fourteen years old, was extremely light, probably less than fifty kilograms, and his bones were a little loose in his hands.
In front of them, a boy and a girl were following closely with bowls in their hands. The son, Zhao Shujing, was only ten years old, and the daughter, Zhao Shurou, was only seven years old.
The two children were dirty at the moment, and their gray clothes were covered with patches. Their eyes were particularly large because they were too thin, and no one knew where their shoes were thrown. They looked at Xia Feng with tears in their eyes.
"Mom will take Xiao An to the clinic. You two should lock the door at home and no one should go out, okay?
Also, you guys need to light the fire in the kitchen later, okay?"
Li Yongan is the child in Xia Feng's arms.
Both children are used to making fire, so Xia Feng dared to make such arrangements.
The two children nodded fearfully, and Xia Feng quickly went to get some money to go to the village clinic.
This is Zhaojia Village, a somewhat remote village, some distance from the town, and there is no transportation, so Xia Feng can only go to the village clinic first.
Based on some memories of the original owner, Xia Feng inferred that this world was not as developed as the previous world. Black and white televisions were not common in the village, and most people could only rely on public telephones in convenience stores for communication. Only two wealthy families could afford keypad phones.
Zhaojia Village is a relatively remote village, where most houses are still brick and tile, with only a few two-story buildings. Villagers rely on the land for their livelihood.
In recent years, some people have gone out to work and earn money. Gradually, some men have gone to work on construction sites together, and more and more people have gone out to work.
The same thing happened to the original owner's husband, but a few days ago, the bad news suddenly came. Zhao Shugen fell from a height of dozens of meters because he missed a step while working and died. Fortunately, they were from the same village and the boss gave them compensation.
This is also the reason why the two sides fought. As soon as they heard the news, they came to grab the money.
Speaking of the original owner, Xia Xiaocao, she was really like a little grass, neither loved by her father nor her mother.
Life was so hard. At my mother's house, I started feeding chickens at the age of five, washing clothes for the whole family at the age of six, cooking at the age of seven, and working in the fields like an adult at the age of eight, while also taking care of my younger brother.
Not only did he usually do the hardest and most tiring work, he also ate the worst food and was occasionally bullied by his younger siblings. He grew up in this way.
I thought everything would be fine after I got married, and my husband is indeed a nice guy, but none of the people in my in-laws' family are good people.
The parents-in-law were picky about them, their uncle's family treated them like cattle, and their elder sister-in-law was divorced and lived in her parents' home to cause trouble. The original owner had a weak character and did not dare to speak out when being bullied. In addition, her husband had little say in the family, so the couple suffered from bullying.
My wife's family would come to our house to harass us from time to time, and it was almost driving us to death. We were just looking forward to the separation of the family.
As a result, after the separation, the two families became even more restless. Today you do some work for me, and tomorrow you give me some money.
Logically speaking, with Zhao Shugen going out to work and the original owner diligently managing the crops, their lives might not be very good, but at least they would have enough food and drink.
The result is that they still live in a mud house and have very little money. The two of them are more tired than before, and in the end they have nothing left, and their children suffer as a result.
The original owner's wish was very simple, which was to take good care of the children and let them grow up healthy.
