I have to say that Wang Cuilan is very good at winning over people. She knelt down and said to Widow Han who was confused, "Don't worry, just rest at my house and have something to eat. The village chief will be here." ”
She didn't directly say that she would kick people out, nor did she say anything to accuse Widow Han. She just told Widow Han that you should rest for a while, we will give you food and time to relax, and then find the village chief to give you justice. .
These words made Widow Han feel very comfortable.
Instead of giving alms, looking down on or belittling her, she told them to go and rest first, and offered to give them food. She did not curse or criticize, which made her feel very comfortable. She knew that she was sent here to let this family It was difficult to do, so Widow Han nodded.
"Aunt Lu Lu, Xiaonian and I have nothing to do. It's okay if we don't eat. Just take a rest and ask the village chief for us."
Widow Han gritted her teeth and said, "I'm sorry to bother you."
She was not someone to be trifled with. When Mrs. Wang killed her and dragged her out after she had just given birth and was still sick, Widow Han knew that this family was unreliable.
But now she has no way out. She is ill and it will take at least a long time to recover. She has to rely on Wang Youcai and his family!
She couldn't get anything out of the baby after giving birth. Instead, she and her daughter dragged the sick body back to Wangjiacun.
"Okay, don't worry."
Wang Cuilan comforted her and deliberately made the yard lively. She told Widow Han that there were many people in the house, including many children. When delivering food, she deliberately let her take a look and chattered about how many people there were in the house. Children, how many people are there?
She was told from the side that it was not that the Korean widow was not left behind, but that there were so many people in the family, and as many children as there were adults, the extra hut might not even be able to accommodate food.
Widow Han didn't express anything after hearing this, but just nodded in her mind. The family did have a large population, and it was normal to put food in the house for the cold winter, so she didn't pay too much attention. All she could think about was that Mrs. Wang and her family were treating her badly. His attitude and those words made her grit her teeth in anger.
But when she got angry, lochia flowed out of her body. Widow Han stiffened. After drinking a bowl of brown rice porridge that was not too thin, she lay back and rested with her daughter Xiao Nian, who was crying and only convulsed.
My daughter's life is hard. She has never had the pain of being a father since she was a child. Other people's children eat candy during the Chinese New Year, but she can't even eat a bite of meat, let alone candy. Other children go to school with small knitted schoolbags on their backs. Pack the notebooks and books issued by the school, and if possible, pack two potatoes, and throw them into the pit to burn after class.
Her daughter had nothing. She just sewed it up with a piece of tattered clothing and carried it on her back like this. She was laughed at without saying a word for two years.
Now she was chased out with others, pointed at and scolded, and rolled her eyes wherever she went. How could she not be heartbroken as a mother?
We must fight for it!
Widow Han made up her mind.
Lin Xiangrong was sitting on a chair. She was gnawing on a sweet potato that was cooked inside and covered with a layer of honey. It was so sweet that she squinted her eyes and looked like a kitten lying on the table, listening to Wang Cuilan's low voice. Discuss this with the men in the family.
Yuandong's face darkened when he heard this: "How can you push it to our house?"
He knocked on the table, and considering that there was a vengeful Widow Han in the room, he lowered his voice: "If our family takes over this, I'm afraid we won't be able to push it away in the future. Don't forget that Widow Han has more than one daughter. She also just gave birth to a big fat boy. If Xiaochun gives birth to a son and that child is delivered, I’m afraid—”
I'm afraid that if all three of them are under their control, they won't be able to go back.
Fang Hongying was anxious: "You can't really rely on our family, right?"
She won't do it!
This thankless job of serving a sick and confinement woman is a waste of money, manpower and energy. Who would want to do it if they are not relatives or friends?
"That's not possible. If it falls on our family, how many people in the village will say it? Don't anyone who doesn't know better think it's our child." Zhang Miao curled her lips, and the red mole on her lips became more and more conspicuous. , she snorted, pretended to pour a glass of water, stirred it with the porcelain lid as if drinking tea, and then touched her slightly bulging belly.
"I'm pregnant. If she brings something unclean here and gets it on me and the children."
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the room fell silent.
Although it is different now and not so harsh, everyone is afraid of germs and the like.
Lin Dawei glanced at them, coughed, and signaled not to go too far, as people in the room could hear it. Then he lit a leaf cigarette. He licked the cigarette, and the old man with his eyelids lowered said with some vicissitudes of life: " I will go to the village chief to study this matter later."
The implication is that you should just leave it alone.
The group of people gave up and went to do whatever they had to do. Lin Xiangrong went back to sleep sleepily and tiredly. When he got up at noon and went to eat with the calico cat in his arms, he pricked up his ears and heard Zhang Miao complaining.
"The second aunt's family is the same. They throw people here and don't care about anything. They go around the village saying that a big fat boy has been added to the family, but they don't say anything about the boy's biological mother. Who doesn't know what happened to their family? Something's up."
Those who don’t know think that their family has a widow who has given birth to a child!
That self-deceiving attitude and saying when they met, "Widow Han must be treated well, she is the one who gave birth to the big fat boy in our family" made Zhang Miao so disgusted.
Since you are the one responsible for giving birth to a fat boy in your family, why did you drag him to our house so early in the morning?
Zhang Miao served Lin Xiangrong a bowl of porridge. When he saw that the fourth rich man had almost eaten, he touched his belly again and gave him a hug to prevent him from eating any more so as not to overeat.
"Second Aunt, there's too much porridge. I can't eat that much."
This was a big bowl of porridge. The one I had just finished was a bit watery but tasted very good. Lin Xiangrong, who just filled her stomach, was in trouble. She simply couldn't eat so much.
Zhang Miao, who had just returned from her parents' home and was scolded by her elder sister-in-law and second sister-in-law, rolled her eyes: "You can't eat the porridge that you can't eat at other people's homes. It's really hypocritical. If you can't eat it, just leave it there. Let me drink."
After finishing speaking, Zhang Miao hesitated for a moment, thinking that the food at home had not been improved for a long time, so he took out a pheasant that Lin Xiangrong had hunted back from the mountains two days ago and had been cured into bacon after it died. I came out, then grabbed a handful of mushrooms and two carrots, thought about it again, and cut up two corns to prepare chicken stew for dinner at night.
Lin Xiangrong was not angry after listening to her second aunt's words. She didn't want to argue with stupid people. She smiled and lay on the table to play with the cat. She just poked the cat's ears twice when she was picked up by Wang Cuilan who hurried back and ran out.
"Milk, what happened?"
What are you doing?
Why did you steal the child?
She stared and hugged the calico cat tightly, which meowed twice.
