Liu Anan was a little reluctant to not buy shoes for Xiao Muyang. The shoes in the shop were a bit delicate and could not be bought yet.
After looking around, I finally found an aunt who ran a street vendor and bought a pair of black cloth shoes for Xiao Muyang, which were stain-resistant and inconspicuous.
Seeing that it was almost done, Liu Anan went home.
The backing village is not far from the town or the county, and Liu Anan walks not slowly, thanks to the original owner who works in the mountains every day. Although he is thin and hungry, he still has a lot of strength.
Liu Anan had been away for almost two hours. Liu Yue was worried and came out several times to stand at the entrance of the courtyard and look around.
Wang Fugui is not at home at the moment, he has gone to work in the fields, but this land belongs to the old house.
Liu An'an entered the yard, and Liu Yue hurried over and took the basket and said, "Why have you been here for so long? Are you hungry? Mom will heat up some steamed buns for you."
"Mom, I'm not hungry. Is he at home?" Liu Anan asked in a low voice.
At this time, Xiao Muyang also ran out and hugged Sister's leg.
Of course Liu Yue knew who her daughter was asking, "He's not here, he went to work in the fields."
"Mom, let's go inside first. I have something to say."
Liu Anan picked up little Muyang and entered his room, followed by Liu Yue.
First, he took out the oil paper bag from the backpack, put it on the broken table, opened it to reveal four big buns, "Mom, the buns are cold, I'm going to heat them up."
Liu Yue's face sank when she saw the bun, "Where did the bun come from?"
The family is poor, but Liu Yue has never taken advantage of anyone else, so she naturally has very strict requirements on her children's conduct.
Liu Anan knew at a glance that her mother had misunderstood, and quickly told her mother in a low voice that she had dug a seven-leaf flower.
After Liu Yue heard this, the tears fell again.
Liu Anan really couldn't bear to see her mother cry, it made her heart feel like it was boiling in oil.
"Mom, don't cry anymore. I have been enlightened by the Lord of Hell. Our lives will gradually get better in the future."
Xiao Muyang's eyes were bright, and he didn't care whether the buns were cold or not. He grabbed a bun and ate it in big mouthfuls, "Mom, eat it, sister, these are meat buns, they are so delicious!"
Liu Anan reached out and touched his brother's head, "In the future, when my sister is rich, Mu Yang can eat meat buns every day, okay?"
Little Muyang nodded vigorously like a little squirrel. He believed what his sister said.
Liu Anan took out the old clothes, scraps, dried pork, and Xiao Muyang's new shoes from the basket.
When Xiao Muyang saw the new shoes, his eyes widened, "Sister, I want to save them for the Chinese New Year."
"Silly Muyang, I might be too young during the Chinese New Year. Besides, it's cold during the Chinese New Year, so I can't wear these shoes."
Without saying a word, Liu Anan took off Xiao Muyang's open-toed shoes and put the new shoes on his feet.
Little Muyang walked carefully on the ground a few times, for fear of getting the new shoes dirty, so he squatted on the ground and kept touching the new shoes with his little hands.
He also raised his foot and rubbed the non-existent dust on his pants, which made Liu Anan feel sour.
"Mom, these old clothes didn't cost much. I boiled them and dried them before wearing them. These two pairs of old shoes were given to me by a kind-hearted pawnshop owner. I didn't dare to buy new shoes for my mother, so I spent a few pennies on them. I picked up some leftover materials and made two new pairs of shoes for my mother to wear."
Liu Yue felt happy and sad at the same time when she saw her daughter arranging things very well. Her daughter had grown up all of a sudden.
Finally, Liu Anan gave the remaining silver to her mother and asked her to hide it, as well as the dried meat.
Of course Liu Yue knew that this thing must be hidden. This money was too important to them and they could not let the old man know about it, otherwise it would definitely cause an uproar.
But I never expected that this uproar would come so quickly.
Later, Liu Anan went up the mountain as usual. She needed firewood for cooking at home, and she was going to pick up some dry firewood.
Liu Anan, who was carrying a large bundle of dry firewood, had just arrived at the entrance of the village when he met his father, Uncle Futian, running out of the village in a hurry.
"Uncle Futian." Liu Anan called.
"Girl An'an, I'm looking for you, go home quickly, something happened!"
What?
Liu Anan's mind buzzed.
Huzi's father explained it clearly in a few words.
It turned out that little Muyang was playing at the entrance of the yard, and Wang Xiaocui from the old house saw it. She saw that little Muyang was wearing new shoes.
Wang Xiaocui told Mrs. Wang that Liu Yue was hiding some private money, so Mrs. Wang followed Wang Xiaocui to the house to cause trouble.
The village chief and others had already gone. Huzi's father saw Liu Anan going to the mountain to collect dry firewood in the morning, so he hurriedly came out to look for her.
Liu Anan threw down the firewood on his back and ran home.
As soon as I arrived at the door of my house, I heard Mrs. Wang yelling and scolding from inside: "You who have been stabbed a thousand times, how dare you hide your private money, hand it over! Second son, beat me, beat me to death, and then I will marry you a yellow flower girl!"
"Wang family, you have gone too far! Wang Fugui, do you really want to kill Liu Yue? She is Mu Yang's mother!" It was the voice of Village Chief Zhou.
Liu Anan separated from the crowd and ran in.
Just in time to see Wang Fugui holding a bamboo strip in his hand, his mother fell to the ground, her hair disheveled, Xiao Muyang's feet were on her feet, and Wang Xiaocui was holding her shoes.
Liu Anan's eyes were red. He was so bullying. My aunt couldn't bear it anymore!
Liu Anan took out the whip wrapped around her waist. She bought it in the town yesterday. She didn't tell her mother that she was using it for self-defense.
The whip whipped towards the heads and bodies of the Wang family as if it had eyes.
Mrs. Wang received a whip on her fat buttocks. The pain made her feel like a monkey in the sky, and she almost jumped three feet high.
Wang Xiaocui and Wang Fugui also covered the yard and ran wildly.
None of the villagers present, including the village chief, stepped forward to stop them. This Wang family is so useless and deserves to be whipped!
The Wang family members were beaten and ran all over the courtyard. I don't know who actually closed the courtyard door and left the latch.
Liu An'an was very accurate. She didn't want to risk anyone's life, so she chose the thickest places to hit her and ensured that no bones were hurt.
Village Chief Zhou saw that it was almost done and shouted, "Girl An'an, stop!"
Liu An'an stopped her hand and pointed at Mrs. Wang, "My surname is not Wang, but I will also call you Grandma Wang. Keep a line in your behavior and don't push others into panic. I have died once."
"Grandpa, village chief, ladies and gentlemen, yesterday I went to the town and chopped firewood for a shop for a long time. When I was leaving, I asked the shopkeeper for this pair of shoes from my brother."
Since the villagers wouldn't go to the town to ask questions anyway, Liu An'an wouldn't say he bought it with money.
After saying that, Liu Anan took out little Mu Yang's old shoes from the wall, "These are Mu Yang's shoes. Aunts and ladies, you can take a look. No matter how worn out your children's shoes are, are they Mu Yang's shoes?"
Everyone takes a look, right?
Not only were there many holes in these shoes, the soles were almost separated from the uppers.
Although my children's shoes are not new, they are much better than Xiao Muyang's shoes.
Liu Anan looked at Mrs. Wang and said: "You are making trouble for my mother and slandering my mother for hiding private money. If my mother has private money, why would Mu Yang wear these lousy shoes? Look at my mother's clothes, how many patches they have been put on. ?”
"Wang Fugui, although you saved my mother, you never treated her well. I'm going to put this aside today. If you dare to hit my mother again, your life will be worth a life!"
Wang Fugui said nothing.
"We don't know, and you didn't tell us."
Wang Xiaocui muttered.
Liu An'an turned her head suddenly, "Why do I tell you that our family is separated? Who are you? I want you to take care of my family's affairs. Could it be that you are Wang Fugui's little wife?"
