After making the promise, we can clearly feel that the brothers and sisters are getting closer.
If we just lived under the same roof for various reasons before, now we are real relatives, caring about each other and thinking about each other.
They are children without parents, helpless orphans. They meet each other in the ice and snow, hug each other for warmth, and cling to each other.
Maybe they all have unspeakable pasts and dark and oppressive secrets, but at this moment, they are really warm and relaxed.
To say that the only heartless person in the ruined temple is probably Jiang Sheng.
From a little beggar that everyone yelled at, to being able to make money and have a lot of brothers to protect him, Jiang Sheng's life has been turned upside down.
She was so happy that she even slept with a smile on her face.
The next day, Jiang Sheng was woken up by a sound of pushing and shouting.
The little girl was startled, thinking that the warm and beautiful day yesterday was a dream, so she quickly reached out and pinched herself twice.
When the pain caused her to utter an "ouch", she felt relieved, got up and rushed outside the ruined temple.
It was Zhou Zhiqiang. His foot injury had completely healed. He was carrying Aunt Zhang and came angrily to demand an explanation.
"It's the flower-padded jacket you sold, right? Why did you sell her the flower-padded jacket? It's the hard-earned money of our Zhou family. Take it out."
Jiang Sheng was stunned.
Xu Mo stumbled to her side at some point, blocked her behind him, and said in a deep voice, "Uncle Zhou, the transaction is based on your own will. We took the money and you wore the clothes. Is there any problem?"
"There's a problem, it's a big problem. My family is already very poor, and we have to spend more than ten cents to buy a cotton-padded jacket. It's hard to get by." Zhou Zhiqiang's face turned red, and foam was dripping from his lips and teeth.
It was obvious that he was really angry.
Aunt Zhang was carried like a chicken by him, her face was full of shame, but she was speechless.
"I ask you, do you want to withdraw, do you want to withdraw from this clothes?" Zhou Zhiqiang was hysterical. "If you don't withdraw, I will beat this bitch to death. I will steal the family's money to buy a cotton-padded jacket and beat her to death."
Jiang Sheng pursed his lips and felt a chill in his heart.
She used to be a beggar who stole food, but since she had her brothers, especially her fourth brother Wen Zhiyun, who became the village doctor, the villagers were very polite to them.
No one is sick these days.
But I didn't expect that the Zhou family was so useless. As soon as they took off the crutches, they would turn on each other and scold their mothers. They were not only bad people, but also had short-sightedness.
Jiang Sheng was so angry that he took out ten copper coins from his arms and threw them out, "Here they are, give them back to you."
Just let Aunt Zhang go and don't let her endure these humiliations anymore.
Unexpectedly, Zhou Zhiqiang glanced at it and found that there were only ten copper coins, and he started to make a fuss again, "A flower-padded jacket costs fourteen cents. What do you mean by giving me ten cents?"
Jiang Sheng almost fainted.
She indeed only received ten cents, should she pay back fourteen cents?
Fortunately, Aunt Zhang spoke, "Jiang Sheng only charged me ten cents. Ten cents is right, it's right."
Unexpectedly, Zhou Zhiqiang slapped her back and knocked her to the ground, "What are you talking nonsense about? Everyone is fourteen cents, but you are ten cents. You are a liar."
"If I don't see these fourteen cents today, I won't leave!"
As he spoke, he actually wanted to find a place to sit down, regardless of how many villagers he attracted to watch the fun.
Xu Mo frowned. He was a gentle man and good at verbal attacks. There was nothing he could do when he encountered such a rogue.
Fang Heng was about to rush forward with a stick, but before he could get close, Zhou Zhiqiang shouted, "If you dare to touch me today, I will rely on you to feed and clothe me in the future. Unless you beat me to death, otherwise Don’t even think about finishing it.”
Zheng Ruqian was so frightened that he hugged his waist tightly, fearing that Lao San would bring back his ancestor with a stick.
At this point, things have reached a deadlock.
The other party is too rogue. If you want to solve the problem, you can only admit that you are unlucky and treat it as a loss of four cents.
Jiang Sheng's face darkened and she felt a burst of heartache. Her business had been going too smoothly a while ago, but now things were happening one after another, which seemed to be warning her that it was not that easy to have stable happiness.
That's all, it's only four cents, just pay it.
Seeing that Zhou Zhiqiang was about to win by playing rogue, Chang Yan came over in time and held her arm down, "If the rogue works, he will only become more rogue in the future."
Once you get the benefit, you will be able to pay it back in the future.
But the current predicament cannot be solved if he doesn't give it. Is it possible that he really wants to drag Aunt Zhang to cause trouble here.
Jiang Sheng was wondering.
Chang Yan had let go of her hand and stopped in front of Zhou Zhiqiang, "I can't withdraw fourteen cents, but I can trade the gray cotton-padded jacket I'm wearing for your floral cotton-padded jacket. Do you think it's feasible?"
Zhou Zhiqiang was about to retort, but after thinking that he could wear this gray cotton-padded jacket, he agreed, "You can exchange it, but if you wear this gray cotton-padded jacket, you have to refund me five cents."
Calculated this way, it would cost him five cents to sell him a gray cotton-padded jacket, and he would still have to take it off Chang Yan's body.
Jiang Sheng was furious. She would not allow others to bully her fifth brother.
Unexpectedly, Chang Yan agreed, picked up ten copper coins on the ground, counted five and handed them over.
Zhou Zhiqiang also didn't expect that the other party would agree to it after he casually pulled it off, and stretched out his hand blankly.
Ten copper plates were divided into two.
Chang Yan picked up the floral cotton-padded jacket, Shi Shiran returned to the ruined temple, changed out of the gray cotton-padded jacket he was wearing, and handed it to Zhou Zhiqiang.
The unwearable floral cotton-padded jacket was replaced with a wearable gray cotton-padded jacket, and he got five cents. Zhou Zhiqiang couldn't help being happy, got up from the ground, and tried on the gray cotton-padded jacket on the spot.
It's indeed a new cotton-padded jacket, it's just warm.
He happily grabbed Aunt Zhang and walked back, "Can't you just buy me a gray cotton-padded jacket? You have to buy something with flowers. This gray one is so beautiful. I'll give it to you after I wear it in two or three years."
The villagers surrounding the entrance of the village lost sight of the excitement and gradually dispersed.
After everyone left, Jiang Sheng grabbed Chang Yan angrily and said, "Fifth brother, why did you give him five copper coins, why did you give him a gray cotton-padded jacket, for what reason."
Chang Yan said nothing, but looked at Wen Zhiyun who seemed to have just returned.
Two little boys of about the same age looked at each other and smiled, with secrets in their eyes.
Jiang Sheng wanted to ask again, but Xu Mo pulled him back to the ruined temple and pinned him down in front of the table.
Opening the small earthen stove, a burst of aroma hit the air, making the whole ruined temple feel refreshed.
"Eat." Xu Mo said slowly.
Zheng Ruqian had tears in his eyes, and Fang Heng was hungry.
After being tortured by their sister's vegetable soup for so long, they finally ate delicious food that humans can appreciate.
The eldest brother is indeed the eldest brother. He didn't move when he was lying down, but he showed such a hand as soon as he got up.
The dilapidated temple, which is usually filled with laughter and quarrels, is rarely quiet because everyone's mouths are used for eating and no one talks.
At the end of the meal, people from the Zhou family came in a hurry.
It was Aunt Zhou. She stood at the door of the ruined temple and hesitated to speak, "Young doctor... come and have a look at our house."
