Chapter 103 A Naive Thought
The Shen family and the Hu family helped to handle Hu Daniu's funeral.
Aunt Hu's whole condition was like a puppet with its strings pulled, she was completely collapsed.
She was holding on until the day of Hu Daniu's burial. When no one was paying attention, Aunt Hu bumped her head against the tombstone. Fortunately, although her head was broken, her life was not in danger.
But after that, no one dared to let Aunt Hu stay at home alone, so Wang Sufen and Shen Anan took turns to accompany Aunt Hu at home.
Unexpectedly, Aunt Hu attempted suicide several times afterwards. In the end, it was Aunt Hu's mother who came and slapped her depressed daughter to wake her up.
Old Mrs. Hu is over sixty years old. Although she is thin, she looks very capable. The old Mrs. Hu, who has been living in the neighboring county for many years, rushed over after receiving the telegram.
Shen Anan heard Wang Sufen say that when Mrs. Hu was young, she also participated in the Women's Army, and she couldn't help but respect her.
There were tears in Mrs. Hu's eyes. She slapped Aunt Hu so hard that the right side of her face was visibly swollen almost instantly.
"Hu Yulan, look at what you look like now!"
"Wake up!"
Hu Lao Da, who came with them, saw Aunt Hu's look and couldn't help but persuade her: "Mom, Yulan is like this, don't scold her, she..."
Old Mrs. Hu raised her voice, "I just want to scold her, to wake her up!"
"I should ask her if I owed her anything in my past life. Why does she want me to send her son off when she's old?"
"Wow, mother, my Danniu is gone..." Aunt Hu's forced emotions completely collapsed. She threw herself into Old Lady Hu's arms, her sobs so shrill that they didn't sound like a human voice.
Tears continued to flow down Old Mrs. Hu's face, and she stroked Aunt Hu's back with her hand in pain.
When Aunt Hu could no longer cry, Old Mrs. Hu took out a handkerchief from her bosom and gently wiped her red and swollen eyes, blowing on them with her mouth as she wiped, for fear of hurting her.
Aunt Hu felt her tears were about to fall again, but she managed to control herself.
Old Mrs. Hu sighed, "Yulan, I know you are suffering, but life has to go on and people have to live!"
"Mother, I understand your pain. I've never told you that I actually had a daughter before your eldest brother. We were poorly clothed and fed at that time, and she died of an illness before she was a year old."
"At that time, my mother wanted to die. If I hadn't survived, what would have happened to you and your sister?"
"You have to live. Even if it's not for anything else, you have to take care of the graves of Daniu and his son, and burn some paper and give them some money during festivals."
"We can't let them be poor all their lives, living underground without money to eat!"
Although Aunt Hu was still crying, her voice was obviously much softer.
Wang Sufen struck while the iron was hot and advised: "Yes, Yulan, I have heard people say before that if people who did not die of old age want to be reborn in a good way, they need their relatives to do more good deeds in their name and accumulate more merits."
"This way, when you are reincarnated, you will be born into a family that has no worries about food and drink, and live a good life."
"If you die now, the family will be reunited, but you won't even be able to pay for the little ghost's passage. Do you have the heart to let Daniu continue to suffer in his next life?"
"Sufen, are you telling the truth?" Aunt Hu's sobbing suddenly stopped for a moment.
"Of course it's true!" Wang Sufen said firmly.
"Yes, yes, yes, I seem to have heard someone say this as well." Brother Hu also followed up.
Sometimes people live just to fulfill their dreams. Although Aunt Hu still cried for a while when she thought about it, she finally stopped talking about suicide.
Old Mrs. Hu took Wang Sufen and Shen Anan's hands, with a loving look on her face, "Sufen, this time it's really thanks to you. Our Hu family will never forget your kindness."
"I will stay here and take care of her for the time being. You should go home quickly. You have worked really hard these days."
Wang Sufen kept shaking her head, "Aunt, you are being too polite. Yulan is like my own sister, and she is Anan's godmother. This is what we should do."
"Yes, I have to call you grandma too. If you and my godmother need any help, just let me know." Shen Anan also echoed.
"Okay, okay, they are all good kids."
Coming out of Wang's house, Shen Anan was very silent all the way, and was in a very low mood.
Wang Sufen took Shen Anan's hands and rubbed them together. When she felt her hands were warm, she took her hands and put them in her pockets, and said slowly: "Anan, this matter of Daniu is also fate, you have to think more open-mindedly."
"In fact, right after liberation, there were many people like Daniu who died of overeating. At that time, people were hungry all year round, and they didn't know how hungry or full they were after a sudden meal. Who would have thought that eating too much could be fatal?"
"Ah, in the end it's all because of poverty! You have to think positively, it's better to die of fullness than of hunger!"
Although Shen Anan was still sad, she didn't want to make Wang Sufen worry, "Mom, I understand, I'm just worried about my godmother, she..."
Wang Sufen patted her hands and said, "It's okay. You'll get through this. Go visit your godmother more often."
"Yes, I know."
…
…
Late at night, Shen Anan stared at the roof in a daze with his eyes open.
In her previous life, she lived a wealthy life since childhood. Even after traveling through time, she had no worries about food and drink in this era because of the sign-in system. In addition, the Shen family treated her very well, so she did not feel much about the difficulties of life in this era.
This incident with Hu Daniu really sounded a wake-up call for her.
Ordinary people really have a hard time living in this era. Even if they work from morning to night, they still lack food and clothing.
When she first discovered that she had traveled through time, she really didn't have any lofty ambitions. She just wanted to live her life in obscurity with the help of the sign-in system and change the fate of the Shen family in the process.
But now, Shen Anan suddenly had a naive idea that he didn't know if it could be realized.
If we could bring modern high-yield crops and advanced technologies from all walks of life into this era, would it make China stronger sooner and allow the Chinese people to have enough food and clothing sooner?
Just like the brick factory in the team, with this brick factory, everyone in the team will get more money this year and life will be better.
Shen Anan didn't know if she could do it, but she suddenly wanted to give it a try.
Of course, to achieve all this, she definitely needed the sign-in system. After all, she was barely a writer in her previous life, and she knew nothing about other industries.
Although there were many books in the book gift pack she had received when she signed in before, they were all books of this era, and she needed knowledge far beyond this era.
Shen Anan thought for a moment and turned on the system's intelligent mode, "007, can I gain knowledge from the future if I sign in?"
