"Da Ya, you can't talk about this anymore, you know?" Xu Ling, oh no, she is Xu Ling now.
She patiently tried to persuade Da Ya, but the little girl looked confused. Although she didn't understand why, she still nodded and said, "Don't tell me."
"You're so good." Xu Ling moved her soft hair and carried her to the bed. "You sit here and play. Mother will come over to accompany you in a while."
Da Ya is still young, and although she is very afraid of her original owner, she is also very easy to coax. Xu Ling can make her obedient with just a few words.
Seeing Da Ya sitting on the bed like a dirty doll, Xu Ling felt sad.
The war outside had spread to him. Gu Xiaozhu and Mrs. Xu had been arguing for a long time. He wanted to lose face, but he couldn't get rid of Mrs. Xu who was confusing right and wrong, so he simply started scolding Xu Ling.
"Xu Ling! You coward! If you have the ability to sneak around, come out if you have the ability! What kind of man are you letting two women stand in front of you! If you have the guts, you can..."
Gu Xiaozhu's yelling stopped abruptly, and he saw Xu Ling pushing the door open and looking at him without hiding: "I'm out, what's wrong?"
Gu Xiaozhu's nose was almost twisted because of his indifferent attitude, "Xu Ling! You still have the nerve to say what's wrong!"
Xu Ling felt annoyed and blamed the original owner again, but now that she was Xu Ling, she could only hold her nose and admit it.
"It's my fault for stealing the chickens raised by Gu Yao. It has nothing to do with you if you break your head. I didn't steal the chickens, so I won't compensate you. You can take these two chickens back and leave my mother alone."
Xu Ling's concussion has not yet healed. He has no intention of rambling with these people. He simply admits his mistake and divides the responsibilities and settles the matter.
Xu's mother's eyes were as wide as dried longans, and she hurried to his side in small steps, "Son! These two chickens are mine with great difficulty..."
"Mom, be obedient and return the chicken to me."
Xu Ling frowned and said impatiently, the original owner was only twelve or thirteen years old when his father passed away, and his twin twins were only six years old. Xu could only cry. Although the original owner was not a good person, the Xu family did depend on him to support them.
It is precisely because of this that the original owner kept his word at home.
Now when Xu Ling said this, Xu's mother immediately pursed her lips and kept silent. Although she couldn't understand her son's thoughts, she also knew not to make him angry.
He threw the chicken at Gu Yao and said reluctantly: "Give it back to you! Who cares about it!"
The chickens raised in the countryside can fly. They fluttered their wings and flew to Gu Yao, almost scratching her face. Gu Yao was so frightened that she screamed and hid behind her brother.
She looked at Xu Ling suspiciously, how could this man change his temper?
Not to mention two chickens, even if it is a useless branch, no one will be able to get it out when it is in Xu Ling's hands!
The Zhao Zhen she married had a well-to-do family, and there was no shortage of one or two chickens. Today, she just wanted to help the Xu family and see how Gu Tao managed to survive the hard life she had in her previous life.
The Xu family is still so messy and carefree, and the Xu family is still so impoverished. In her previous life, Gu Tao was the wife of the chief minister. She looked very noble in gold and jade. Now, isn't she just an unkempt country woman?
Gu Yao felt happy in her heart and became even more determined that her choice was right.
Gu Xiaozhu grabbed the chicken and wanted to scold him again, but Gu Yao persuaded him generously with satisfaction: "Brother, it's okay! Let's do it for my cousin and Daya."
The more she behaved like this, the angrier Gu Xiaozhu became. He glared at Gu You, who was standing there like a pillar, cursed: "It's useless!" and left Xu's house with Gu Yao.
The Xu family originally lived in the village. After his father died, the family could not survive, so they had to sell their property. Xu Ling took his family and moved to an abandoned house on the edge of the village.
There were three mud and thatched huts back then, but there are still three today.
The villagers disliked Xu Ling's sneaking around, and his mother was so troublesome that she basically didn't interact with them.
The Xu family didn't finish their meal, thinking about how to stutter all day long, and they couldn't care about etiquette, justice and shame.
But Gu Tao is different.
Before marrying Xu Ling, her family had not yet been separated, and her family lived a prosperous and amiable life. She was good-looking and had a lively temper. If she married a hard-working man, she could live a good life.
But God didn't agree with her and asked her to marry Xu Ling, a bastard. Her parents thought it was embarrassing, so they broke up the family. Her parents originally felt sorry for their daughter, but who knew that after Gu Tao got married, she would come home with injuries every now and then to fight in the autumn wind.
No matter how deep the friendship was, it was all wasted.
Mrs. Xu let the two fat hens go in vain, and she felt even more uncomfortable than if she had been killed, but she couldn't scold her son, so she could only give Gu Tao a slap on the back, "You didn't even fart when I got off the pole!" You married into our Xu family and you still marry your mother's family! What a loser! You can't even give birth to a decent child, so what's the use of you?"
Xu's voice was sharp and harsh, and what she said was extremely unpleasant.
Xu Ling couldn't listen at all, and said impatiently: "Mom, the noise makes me have a headache, can't you speak more quietly?"
He held his head, feeling a little nauseous, which frightened Ms. Xu. She just wanted to yell at Gu You, but when she thought of her son's words, she had to swallow half of her voice and said in a low voice: "Why don't you hurry up and help your man move the house?" A stool!”
Gu Tao quickly moved a stool and asked Xu Ling to sit against the wall. It was August now, the sun was still shining a little, and the yard was bare, not even a tree. Xu Ling probably lost too much blood, and his body was cold, so it was quite comfortable to bask in the sun.
He closed his eyes and rested for a while. When he opened his eyes, he saw Mrs. Xu grabbing Gu You, the corner of her mouth twitched, and said: "Lazy lady, why don't you go in and watch Da Ya, you are just lazy here!"
When Xu Ling spoke, Gu Tao seemed to have received the imperial edict and hurriedly got into the room and disappeared.
Only Xu and Xu Ling were left in the yard. Xu Ling didn't see his younger siblings. "Where are Xu Ping and Xu An?"
"There was no food at home, so they went to the river to look for food." Xu's mother sat on the threshold and began to look for fleas on her body.
When I found one, I was happy and quickly threw it into my mouth.
Xu Ling's face twitched when he saw it, and he felt his body began to itch.
This family was poor and dirty, and no one was an exception. Fortunately, no living things could enter the space, so all the fleas on his body were probably dead.
Otherwise, Xu Ling really couldn't accept it.
Xu Ling could understand that when people are hungry, they can change their bodies and eat each other, so eating some fleas is nothing.
But he couldn't accept it.
Apart from the mess at this big stall, what troubled Xu Ling the most was the issue of livelihood.
The original owner had no land at home, so even if he wanted to imitate the methods of time-travelers to make a fortune, he would be unable to make a meal without rice and would have no way to start.
There is half an acre of land in the space, but the family is impoverished, so where can they get seeds?
While Xu Ling was thinking hard, a call came from outside: "Brother, mother! Look what we caught!"
He looked up and saw a pair of brother and sister who looked very much alike running towards the yard holding leaves in their hands.
