I do not know why, Ji Chunhua said so, Deng Jingu's heart beat drum, he always has a bad premonition.
"Niang, what do you want to say? I'm your son. There's something I can't say."
"Well, your father suffered this crime, and the bad man who was struck by thunder was not caught. But because your father was injured, the family is now so poor that they are jingling. Although I still have a few liang of cash in my hand, I can't move it. I have to get some medicine for your father."
At this point, her eyes are red.
"There's no way. Dr. Cui's prescription that day has been picked up by Dr. Guo for some cheap herbs. There's no way to reduce it any more. That's all. You'll have to spend hundreds of Wen on a medicine. Your father has worked hard for this family for most of his life. I'm sure to cure him."
She asked Dr. Guo. It's impossible for her to get better so quickly after changing the herbal medicine. Moreover, it's impossible not to be lame. What Dr. Guo means is to let her have a mental preparation. Deng Dalang is cured and can only be a useless person.
"Niang, you can rest assured that I will work hard to earn money. Don't worry about Niang. My cousin's money will always be paid back."
Deng Jingu plans to get up early every day, help his mother clean up the yard, and go out early. If he can go to one or two more villages, he can get one or two Wen more.
Even so, Deng Jingu still wants to work harder.
Debt, like a heavy mountain, pressed on his still young shoulders, forcing him to gasp.
Deng Jingu has never had such an idea since he was sensible. Zhou Changgen came to collect debts, which forced him to face the reality. Silver is indispensable at any time. Silver It's more important than anything. Without silver, it's almost impossible to do anything.
Deng Jingu clenched his hands into a fist. He must strive to earn a lot of money. He never wanted to have such a hard life again, nor did he want his family to suffer with him!
"No, Jin Gu, Niang means..." Ji Chunhua opened her mouth and tried to talk to Deng Jingu about Lin Anxin several times, but when the words came to her mouth, she couldn't say anything.
"Forget it, it's OK. Go wash your face, find the golden lock and get ready for dinner."
"Well, mother, I'll go now." Deng Jingu didn't think deeply about Ji Chunhua's abnormal behavior. His whole mind was immersed in how to earn money. He wanted to change the current situation of his family.
Ji Chunhua looks at him leaving with a sad look on her face, then slowly goes back to the kitchen and sits down. She doesn't know what to do.
Deng Dalang's medicine money will cost three liang of silver in one month. Guo said that the most important thing in the first two months is not to cut off the medicine for one day, and then he can slowly reduce the payment every month.
The family can't live any longer now. Only by marrying off her daughter-in-law and receiving some betrothal gifts can it be relieved for some time.
Deng Jingu is a piece of meat that falls from her body. How can she watch her son go out in the morning and back in the evening every day, in the wind and rain.
However, when she faces her son and marries Lin Anxin as a daughter, she can't open her mouth, which makes Ji Chunhua more worried and depressed.
She looked to the East Wing several times and hesitated for many times to send Lin Anxin to the brothel or kiln, but she couldn't be cruel after all. As she said, she had to look at the Buddha's face without looking at the monk's face. Deng Jinchai, the carefree daughter-in-law of the Lin family, has become her daughter-in-law. She has to think about her daughter-in-law.
Since the seventh day when Lin Anxin wears it, Ji Chunhua has gone out most of the time in a day. Lin Anxin has never asked her what she is doing when she goes out.
Lin Anxin is always sitting under the osmanthus tree these days. From time to time, he is gnawing an Autumn Cucumber in his hand. No matter how small the mosquito's leg is, it's also a bit of meat. The cucumber doesn't provide much energy, but it can always add to the cake.
Two days later, she was sitting under the osmanthus tree. Now, Ji Chunhua is also holding Jinsuo at home, watching the chickens and ducks at home. She won't let him go outside again.
"Golden lock, where are you going?"
Lin Anxin just closed his eyes for a while. When he opened his eyes, he happened to see Deng Jinsuo slip out of the house on tiptoe. It seemed that he was going to go out again.
"Four Ya elder sister, aren't you asleep?"
Lin Anxin glared at him. Which eye did you see? She's closing her eyes. All right!
"Come here!" She hooked her little finger at him again.
Since Lin Anxin told him that there is no ghost in the world, he was very convinced of Lin Anxin. At night, he lay in bed and looked at the dark room. When he thought about what she had said, he didn't feel very afraid. What is a ghost? He didn't see it, his mother didn't see it, and sister Siya didn't see it either. It must be like what sister Siya said. The bad old men in the village are wilting. When they say that, they just want to frighten these little kids.
When I think about it, I feel that lying in the dark is not as terrible as I think.
"Four Ya elder sister, do what?" Deng Jinsuo looked back at the gate of the courtyard. He put his hand behind his head like a little adult. He sighed and shook his head. He came to Lin Anxin.
"You want to sneak out again?" Lin Anxin asked.Deng Jinsuo looked up at her: "sister Siya, you know what I think?"
Little boy, you think so carefully, can't she see it?
"Jinsuo, your father is sick, you know?"
"I know!"
"I'm afraid your father's leg will be lame. Do you know what it's like to be lame?" Lin Anxin asked again.
Don't know, Deng Jinsuo shook his head, and answered: "just like the tree cripple in our village?"
Tree lame is a poor man, the real family, for many years to help people feed duck mixed food.
"Yes, take a stick and try to walk like a tree cripple?" Lin Anxin knew that it would be counterproductive to stop him from going out.
Her purpose is to ask Deng Jinsuo to know how inconvenient it is to do things when she is lame.
Sure enough, Deng Jinsuo was learning to look like a tree cripple. At first, she thought it was fun. Later, Lin Anxin asked him to clean the yard with a broom. She just coaxed Deng Jinsuo to let him know something.
"Oh, sister Siya, can I not do it?" Deng Jinsuo just swept a few times, can't stand: "don't learn, don't learn, it's not fun at all."
"You know it's hard. Your father will be like this in the future. How inconvenient it is. You and your brother will have to support your parents in the future." Lin Anxin didn't think of him as a child at all. He tried to express himself in words he understood.
"Do you think there will be new clothes to wear in the future
Why don't you think that Deng Jinsuo is just the age that dogs dislike, so he won't let go of delicious snacks.
"Then you have to be obedient. Your mother wants you to stay at home. Before she comes back, you have to take good care of your father. If you behave well, I'll talk to brother Jingu and ask him to keep some delicious snacks for you. How about that?"
Although Deng Jinsuo is a little reluctant, the temptation of snacks is greater. With snacks, he can show off with his friends.
What's more, he felt that his father was going to be like a tree cripple. He felt vaguely that if he had fun all day, it would not be good.
When Lin Anxin said that, Deng Jinsuo was really honest. He just sat down for less than five minutes and got restless again.
"Sister Siya, I can't sit still." Children's patience is limited.
Lin an thought for a while and said, "otherwise, you should feed the chicks. Be careful. Don't knock over the ladle."
Deng Jinsuo, who has something to do, flies away from Lin Anxin's side.
She is going to have a little more sleep.
The door of the yard was pushed open.
At the sight of the visitor, Lin an felt a headache again.
"Yo, four wenches, can you get up?" Sun Cuihua hasn't come to Deng's house for several days.
Today, looking at Lin Anxin again, he had a general idea with Zhou Changgen. He also smacked his tongue in the dark and said, "it's a pity, it's a pity!"
Lin Anxin doesn't want to ask. She has to have her whole tail. I don't know what it's like for sun Cuihua.
Sun Cuihua naturally won't tell Lin Anxin. Nowadays, when a poor family gives birth to a beautiful girl, how many people don't send her to be a bed warming girl, or directly sell her to brothels to earn some money to support her family. But Ji Chunhua is a dead brain, and she doesn't agree with her. Can she not feel pity that such a large sum of money, which is coming soon, flies like this?
"Well!" Lin Anxin leaned lazily against the back of his chair.
What does Sun Cuihua come here for? She can probably guess one or two. Didn't Zhou Changgen just come here a few days ago? The debt collection is so tight that she's afraid that the Deng family will run away for this money?
Don't worry about lending it to the Deng family. Don't be a good person at the beginning.
It is uncertain that Deng Jingu and Ji Chunhua can come up with other methods.
"You are a sick child, and you have a bad temper. I see that Chunhua is too used to you, tut tut!" Sun Cuihua saw Lin Anxin's indifference, but she was very angry.
Lin Anxin nodded: "it's not your turn to worry about raising the left. She's willing to get used to it. Anyway, I didn't eat your food and spend your money, right?"
She is not a master who can swallow her anger.
Sun Cuihua is so angry that she turns her back, which means that she eats her own food and cares about others.
"Bah, cheap girl, one mouth is better than scissors. In the future, your mother-in-law will not tear your mouth."
"Well, it's none of your business. Even as you said, you can only watch, can't you? Or, your son will get a daughter-in-law in the future, do you plan to treat her like this? Tut Tut, I can't see that you are still a bad mother-in-law! "
"You Sun Cuihua is dying of retting. She wants to stand in the yard and scold Lin Anxin. She's afraid that it's true that she's not a good person.
Lin Anxin lazily stretched out his hand and pulled out his ear: "if you want to scold me, I advise you to save your strength. To put it bluntly, you are just brother Jingu's distant cousin."
Sun Cuihua is full of dirty words. Lin Anxin stops her in her throat. She can't get up and down for a moment. She's suffocating her.
Lin Anxin turned her lips. If she didn't want to be shameful and had to rub her face on the ground, she wouldn't mind helping to add firewood.Sun Cuihua was so angry that she gave her a hard cut. I didn't expect that she was so blind in the past. She thought she was a gentle quail, but she was a sharp toothed, sharp mouthed and shrewd master.
