The fire crackled, and Brother Zhan felt that his kindness was being treated as a donkey's liver and lungs. He remembered that it was already his turn to pull the cart at noon, and because of the eldest brother's natural tone of ordering his servants, he did not thank himself. Brother Zhan I felt even more angry.
When everyone had rested after eating and drinking, Brother Zhan stole a few cakes and trotted away behind the team.
Zhan Qingyue noticed his move, but she didn't say anything or follow him, thinking that such a big man might have an appointment with a girl.
After thinking about it for a while, Zhan Qingyue still couldn't help but wonder which family the girl was from, so she quietly followed her.
After a while, brother Zhan arrived in front of Mrs. Zhan out of breath.
The rest of the people were asleep, and only two people were facing each other. Zhan Qingyue's face turned dark instantly.
"Grandma, grandma, I'm back."
Mother Zhan was still a little surprised when she saw Brother Zhan, and she frowned fiercely: "What are you doing here? If you don't stay with your white-eyed wolf parents, you come here to be an eyesore?"
Old Man Zhan's hand was so cruel that day that the swelling marks on Mrs. Zhan's face have not gone away yet, and her mouth hurts every time she speaks.
Ever since she evicted her big brother, her life has become worse day by day. Not only did she get less food, she also heard that her son and daughter-in-law wanted to leave her, and she couldn't sleep well every night, and she felt haggard. How much do you know.
Now that this doormat came back, she didn't bother to hit him.
Brother Zhan pursed his lips, reached into his arms to take out the cake, and then handed the cake to Mrs. Zhan: "Grandma, eat it, I brought it here specially for you."
Seeing that there was something to eat, Mrs. Zhan grabbed it and started to wolf it down. Brother Zhan took out his own water bottle and gave her a drink, feeling a sense of pain in his heart.
"Grandma, you're suffering."
"Hum hum."
After eating the two pancakes, she was a little full. Pozi Zhan snorted angrily: "Thanks to your sister, that Tong Sheng helps her every day. Hasn't that shameless guy hooked up with her a long time ago? Have you gone to bed?"
Knowing that Brother Zhan was willing to run over to see her at the front of the team, Mother Zhan sighed inwardly that she had raised a useful dog, and she felt a little relieved.
"I don't know, but I saw them waiting on the cart every day, saying they were treating that boy's leg." Brother Zhan was obedient and told everything he saw.
Zhan Pozi even thought that she knew it was what she thought, so she began to smear Zhan Qingyue.
"She is just a little girl, what kind of medical skills can she have? Last time, she almost killed people by eating the food she found. It was her blind cat that encountered a dead mouse and was cured. I lost more than ten kilograms of food in vain. , let me tell you, that bad guy is very hateful! Don’t be obsessed with her!"
"Okay, I listen to grandma, you sleep well, I will come over to see you from time to time."
Brother Zhan comforted her. He looked at Po Zhan pitifully at first, but now he believed her words even more.
Early the next morning, the team set off again. Zhan Qingyue saw that the weather was not hot, so she walked to the front with her eldest brother, sister-in-law, and the others. Seeing the second brother pulling the cart hard, thinking of last night, she didn't know how to persuade the person in front of her. .
She remembered that not long after Song Cuihua gave birth to her second brother, the family had to build a house for her third uncle to marry him, so the burden of making money fell on Dafang. The second brother could be said to have been raised almost by Zhan Po. of.
But last night, she was spread rumors like this by Mrs. Zhan. She discredited herself in front of her second brother, and his second brother didn't say anything. Zhan Qingyue also knew that this mentality of his second brother was a hidden danger.
But now is not the time.
"Second brother, you take a rest and I'll pull the car."
"How can I call you this? With your small body, you can run without being pulled by a car." Brother Zhan didn't look back and walked slower.
Zhan Qingyue took out a cloth, wiped his sweat, and then unscrewed the kettle and gave it to him. Brother Zhan ignored it. After waiting for a while, he took it, took two big sips, and continued on his way.
Zhan Qingyue was also a little dizzy from the sun, but she still walked along. She sighed intentionally or unintentionally: "Brother Xiaoyi, his legs are like this because I went to dig out the bird's nest, and he saved me when I fell. That’s what caused this.”
"I didn't expect that I would be tired of you and drag him along with me."
"Why are you talking about this? I think he enjoys it too." After learning the reason, Brother Zhan was less angry, but he was unwilling to admit his dissatisfaction.
"Actually, he wants to get well soon so that he can walk and help relieve some of our burden."
"Yeah." Brother Zhan responded dully, and said a little impatiently: "Okay, don't bother me anymore, you can get back to the car quickly."
When Zhan Qingyue saw this, she didn't say anything more. When she heard Song Cuihua calling her that the twins were looking for her, she ran back to the car.
Song Cuihua was embroidering a handkerchief. She had saved a lot of silk thread before fleeing the famine, and she didn't use much silk thread because of the Champo and others' orders on the way.
Now that I am free, I naturally pick up the food again, planning to buy a shop and earn some money to support my family.
When the twins saw it was her, they rushed over happily. Zhan Qingyue held one in each hand and teased her for a while, watching her mother's concentration.
She thought for a moment and then quietly told Song Cuihua what happened last night and what Zhan Pozi said.
Song Cuihua was stunned and confused, and the needle pierced her finger without paying attention.
Blood kept seeping out from her fingertips. Zhan Qingyue felt distressed and helped her press the wound, while Song Cuihua kept looking at her second son's back.
Song Cuihua sighed with distress and helplessness: "Your grandmother is not a good person, but she helped your mother raise your brother. We have repaid the kindness of raising your brother for more than ten years, but she is still so unsatisfied."
"It's all because of my mother's fault. I didn't protect you and made you suffer. I don't even care about my son."
Song Cuihua began to sob as she spoke. The twins looked at me and I looked at you. They broke away from Zhan Qingyue one after another and threw themselves into Song Cuihua's arms.
"Grandma, don't cry."
"If you cry if you don't behave well, grandma says you won't get any candy, but Dabao will give it to grandma. Grandma is the best."
The two babies comforted Song Cuihua with their milky sounds, and Zhan Qingyue also patted her shoulders.
"Things have already led to this result. It still depends on my mother's side. Should I let my second brother go back?"
Zhan Qingyue wanted Song Cuihua to be careful and not be betrayed by Brother Zhan without knowing it. She was not the original person, so she naturally put interests first, and she would help anyone who was really good to her.
"That's meat that fell from my body. No matter what, how could I let it go?" Song Cuihua wiped her tears, gathered her emotions, and hugged the two little ones: "From today on, I will care more Some of his."
Only then did Zhan Qingyue feel relieved. She believed in Song Cuihua.
