"Sister-in-law, we are a family, do you really want money?"
Zhou Zhang glanced at his arm wrapped in a torn rag and reluctantly let go of his hand holding the change.
Yao Jingping grabbed the money so that he could count it.
Ten yuan and fifty cents, and the extra fifty cents she threw at the perimeter at her feet.
Just as he was about to walk out, Zhou Changcun came back with his head drooped.
Behind them were Chen Hongxia and her three mothers who looked like clay monkeys.
In comparison, the second oldest brother, Zhou Changcun, was considered a reliable man, and he knew how to love his wife and children.
In the morning, he heard that there was a frightened horse causing trouble at the Shitou Town Market. Thinking that his wife and two children had gone to the market to join in the fun, he was so frightened that he rushed to the market without stopping.
Chen Hongxia only had three or four yuan in her hands. She took her children to the market just because she didn't want to stay at home.
He regretted and blamed himself. If he was a useful person and could make money to build a house like his elder brother and dare to fall out with his mother, would his wife and children run away in the winter?
I saw my wife and two daughters on a tractor parked on the roadside at the market. The three women were covered in mud, as if they had been fished out of the mud, and several women were talking around them.
The three mothers saw him and cried loudly.
Chen Hongxia cried so hard that she couldn't breathe.
To exaggerate what happened today, if Zhou Zhiyuan hadn't come to save the three of them, the family would have had to deal with nothing!
"Can't you learn from your elder brother and think about your wife and children? Do you understand what your mother has done to us all these years?"
Several women in the village also joined in the conversation, especially those who didn't deal with Wang Guihua on weekdays, and they started spitting.
"How could there be such a grandma? The soles of the cotton shoes on the children's feet are worn out, and they are not even allowed to make new pairs!"
"All the good food and drinks are given to the old girl at home! The two granddaughters are as hungry as chickens. If you want to live forever, you shouldn't spoil your mother!"
"A good man will be bullied by others; a good horse will be ridden by others!"
Zhou Changcun is not stupid, he understands in his heart.
My wife is hardworking and capable, and all the housework is hers.
He took care of her when she gave birth to a child. Wang Guihua said that she was not worthy of taking care of her after she gave birth to a loser.
There were seven or eight chickens at home, and Chen Hongxia fed them on daily basis. Wang Guihua was stunned and refused to kill one, and she was reluctant to give one of the eggs to Hongxia.
Keep the big rooster to sell for money, keep the old hen to lay eggs.
Zhou Changcun was forced to the point where he broke the ice in the river to catch fish in the middle of winter, and went to the woods to trap rabbits, finally getting some meat to deal with the confinement.
Not only did Wang Guihua and Zhou Chang'e not help serve the adults and children, they also did not miss out on food and drink.
Chen Hongxia had just passed away, and her temper was soft. The man would not stand up for her, so he could only swallow his anger.
There is one thing she just doesn't accept. Why is her sister-in-law a woman and her mother-in-law being such a sweetheart?
When I turned 18, I still competed with children for food!
Zhou Chang'e was so delicious and delicious that she made herself fat. The two children looked on eagerly and didn't even give them a bite.
Needless to say, Zhou Changzai not only did not do his job properly, but also tried every means to steal from him.
In recent years, if he and Chen Hongxia hadn't gone hunting hares in the woods to collect mushrooms to sell during their spare time, the family would not even have money to wear clothes.
"Brother, sister-in-law..."
Chen Hongxia said hello to Zhou Zhiyuan and Yao Jingping with red eyes, and led the two children into the house.
Zhou Chang'e, who had been lying on the bed eating, was a sharp-eyed person and suddenly saw the bag Chen Hongxia was holding.
She just said that her mother and her mother had not been seen for most of the day, so they must have gone to the market to eat good food!
Eat alone and plow alone!
"What are you holding!"
When she got up, she stopped Chen Hongxia and tried to snatch what was in her hand.
Chen Hongxia was angry. The three pieces of fabric in the bag were bought with their lives. Why should they be given to her for nothing?
These years of good food, good drinks and good clothes, what kind of things have not come close to her, Zhou Chang'e?
With a strong tug, he took the bag into his hands and walked into the house with the two children.
Zhou Chang'e became more and more convinced that there was something good hidden in the bag. She had always been domineering, how could she be ignored by others?
She ran over to chase Chen Hongxia in a hurry. Her legs and feet went weak in her hurry, and she fell to the ground with a plop of a dog chewing mud.
"Mom, mother, it's broken, it's broken..."
Zhou Chang'e suddenly turned pale, holding her belly and wailing.
She only wore a pair of long johns on her legs that were so dirty that the original color could not be seen. She saw that her crotch quickly turned red and blood dripped down.
"What happened, what happened, God, what happened?"
Wang Guihua was so frightened that her face changed color on the spot.
"Boss and second child! You fools, hurry up and bring the tractor. We have to go to the hospital. This child must be saved, saved!"
ah? child? Keep the child?
Yao Jingping laughed stupidly at her, yelling and screaming, worried that others wouldn't know that Zhou Chang'e was pregnant?
She didn't want to wade into this muddy water, so she pulled Zhou Zhiyuan and walked out.
When I walked out of the door, I saw an old woman wearing a dark blue cotton-padded jacket with diagonal lapels and a big patch on her shoulder standing at the door.
At this moment, he was holding the fence gate, stretching his neck, and looking into the yard. His neck was stretched like a giraffe, and the veins were protruding.
It was Ma Daju who loved gossiping the most in the village.
Seeing Yao Jingran and Zhou Zhiyuan coming out of the house one after another, Ma Daju blinked her eyes and took two steps forward quickly. She was about to open her mouth to ask, but Yao Jingran looked like he was not easy to mess with. He quickly changed his words.
"Um, my chickens have gone somewhere. I'm here to look for them..."
"Mom, you love me so much!"
Suddenly a pitiful wail came from the yard, which frightened Ma Daju, who was originally planning to get in front of Yao Jingping and inquire about some gossip. She shivered in fright and ran into the yard without even thinking about talking.
"How about you go over and have a look."
Zhou Zhiyuan stopped and turned around to discuss quietly with Yao Jingping.
"I'm not a doctor, how can I tell what's good or bad?"
He raised his head and glanced at Zhou Zhiyuan, seeing his frowning and serious look on his face, he couldn't help but laugh out loud. .
"You go to the village committee to drive the tractor. You have to go to the county hospital. I felt that the last time she had a stomachache like that, it was either an ectopic pregnancy or a hydatidiform mole. As long as it doesn't happen, it would be fatal if it happened. It's not me. If it’s not cured, I really can’t cure it and I have to go to the hospital for surgery.”
Zhiyuan didn't understand why. Anyway, this matter sounded serious.
There is no doubt that he is there, it turns out that she does have certain abilities, and her diagnosis will definitely not be wrong.
He walked forward.
Wang Guihua and her mother-in-law are a pair of sticks. They went to the hospital two days ago and didn't resolve the matter. Who knows what evil they are holding in their stomachs.
According to the wishes of the two women, not only did they not plan to have an abortion, they also thought of giving birth to the bastard in their stomachs.
According to Zhou Chang'e, this is Bai Yulian's trick. Who knows what evil Xiao Bailian is holding back.
A pair of silly mallets, the kind where you have to help count the money after being sold!
Anyway, she was going to the county to see her second uncle in the afternoon, and she was worried about walking all the way down the mountain road and then waiting for the bus in the town, so driving the tractor saved her effort.
After a pause, he pointed to the west yard, lowered his voice and whispered at Zhou Zhiyuan's back.
"It turned out that your sweetheart was harboring ghosts..."
Zhou Zhiyuan, who was walking in front, heard clearly. He looked back at her and corrected her seriously.
"I don't have a boyfriend!"
After that, he walked forward.
The back is straight, the body is tall and straight, and the steps are fast and big.
Yao Jingping curled her lips and smiled sweetly at his back. She went home and neatly packed the things she wanted to bring into the city. She stuffed them all into a military green luggage bag and then walked out after packing them properly.
She didn't want to care about these nasty things, but she was Zhiyuan's sister after all, so she couldn't go too far.
The west courtyard was a mess.
Zhou Chang'e, who was lying on the ground, kept shouting and yelling, jumping around on the ground like a loach at every turn, with blood splashing everywhere.
Even Wang Guihua, who was kneeling on the ground, had blood splattered on his face. His gray hair was hanging randomly on his forehead. He stretched out his hands to play with Zhou Chang'e and shouted at her repeatedly.
"Chang'e, Chang'e, please be gentle, be gentle, don't toss, toss gently..."
Chen Hongxia walked out and joined Zhou Changcun, one grabbing his arm and the other grabbing his leg. She originally wanted to lift Zhou Chang'e onto the quilt, but she didn't expect that this guy would be in so much pain that he was strong enough to avenge himself, so he kicked the pig's leg. , kicked Chen Hongxia over with one kick!
"It's you who are bad! It's you who are bad! If it weren't for you, this child wouldn't have been born, and I could have married Zhang Quanliang..."
"Whose child? Don't worry, I will never tell anyone else!"
Ma Daju, who was leaning on the door, looked into the room and couldn't help but ask in a low voice with shining eyes.
