Chapter 37 Shen Hongling’s past
what happened?
Ning Ning didn’t speak just now. Why did she seem to hear Ning Ning speak just now?
Ning Ning also said that Yuyu is a genius?
Shen Hongling smiled bitterly. Although she had never read a book and only attended literacy classes, Shen Hongling knew what a genius was and what a fool was.
Although she didn't want to admit it, nor did she want others to say it, she had to admit that Yuyu was indeed different from other ordinary children.
Yuyu really can't speak, and her behavior is often very strange.
Even when talking to him, Yuyu couldn't listen most of the time, and sometimes she would scream when she got impatient.
Everyone said that Yuyu was a fool and a mute, even Shen Hongling believed it.
She took Yuyu to the county hospital.
The doctor in the county said that Yuyu was indeed sick and abnormal, but he could not tell anything based on his ability. He still suggested that she take the child to a big hospital in a big city to see a specialist.
Shen Hongling also wanted to take Yuyu there. She wanted to prove that her Yuyu was not a fool, but she couldn't go.
Not to mention that there was a blind mother-in-law at home for her to take care of. Even the family was very poor and had no money to support her taking Yuyu to a big city for medical treatment.
She knows that it takes many days to take a train to go to a big city, and it costs a lot of money to go to a big hospital.
But she really has no money.
Shen Hongling was not a member of the Qinghe production team at first.
When she was 9 years old, there was a famine in her hometown, and her parents took her and her siblings to flee.
But at that time, there was famine everywhere, and one of her sisters and one of her brothers died of starvation on the way.
When they fled to the Qinghe production team, Shen Hongling fell ill and her brother was about to starve to death.
Originally, she and her brother were the only four children.
Shen Hongling was already very sensible at that time. She looked at her crying parents, her brother who was lying on the ground with a pale face and almost out of breath, and she looked at herself who kept coughing.
Finally, Shen Hongling and her parents decided to sell themselves.
Yes, that is, sell it and use it as a child bride for others.
But in that era, many people could barely support their own children, so how could they raise a child bride?
However, in the end, she sold half a bag of sweet potatoes to Xu Weiping of the Xu family as a child bride.
Xu Weiping was only a 10-year-old boy at the time.
She was bought by Xu Weiping's wife, her blind mother-in-law. At that time, her mother-in-law was only in her thirties and was still very young.
But his eyes were already blind by then.
No one knows exactly how my mother-in-law became blind.
Some people said that it was because her husband left with another woman and she was abandoned, so she was so sad that she cried blindly.
Some people also say that it was because she accidentally encountered a snake when she went to the mountains, and the snake's venom sprayed into her eyes. The eyes were poisoned and she became blind after that.
Shen Hongling didn’t know what it was specifically and didn’t dare to ask.
I only know that my mother-in-law is indeed blind, but she is not completely blind. She can still see some light, but in the end it still makes her move inconvenient and she cannot work in the fields.
When she was bought into this home, only her future husband and mother-in-law depended on each other.
Later, Shen Hongling also lived in this home.
Both her mother-in-law and her future husband were very kind to her.
Later, when she was 18 years old, she married her husband, Xu Weiping.
Her son Xu Yu was born in the second year.
Why is it called Xu Yu? Because the night before she found out she was pregnant, Shen Hongling dreamed that something like a red jade pendant was put into her belly.
The next day, Shen Hongling was found to be pregnant.
Later, when the child was born, she remembered this dream and named the child Xu Yu. My mother-in-law also said, jade, this is a good thing. In ancient times, it was a treasure.
Although it is not valuable now, in ancient times, things like jade were not something that ordinary people could use casually and afford.
Such a long sentence, Shen Hongling heard the word "baby".
Jade means treasure.
That’s right, her child is her treasure.
The child Yuyu was born very well, and is prettier and cuter than ordinary children.
Shen Hongling thought her happiness would continue like this, but an accident happened.
That year, there was a flood, and Xu Weiping and many people from the production team were recruited to build the dam.
But for some reason, when they went to repair the dam, the dam that seemed to be okay suddenly collapsed, and the flood poured directly down.
The people who built the dam were also washed away.
Some people were good at swimming and swam up on their own, while others were lucky and survived by hugging the big tree and standing on the big rock.
Those who had poor water quality or bad luck died in this accident.
At that time, 36 people died and 12 died, and Xu Weiping was one of them.
That year, they had just been married for less than two years.
That year, their child was born not long ago, and their baby Yuyu was only 4 months old.
The mother-in-law lost her only son, she lost her husband, and the son also lost his father.
Only they, a widowed mother-in-law and a daughter-in-law with a child who is just 4 months old, are left to face the difficulties of life together.
Life also started to become more difficult from that time on.
Shen Hongling is the only labor force in the family. She has to work to support the whole family. She also has to take off work to take care of her mother-in-law and Yuyu.
The burden of life falls on her, a young woman.
Shen Hongling works hard, but she can only earn up to 8 work points a day. She keeps working all year round, and the work points she earns are not enough to support a family of three.
The family does not have any savings. What Shen Hongling is most afraid of is that she and her family will get sick.
Because once you get sick, your family has no money to pay for treatment.
There is no time when people don’t get sick.
Especially since my mother-in-law is getting older and Yuyu is still young, and she works every day without stopping, there will always be times when she gets tired or falls ill.
Fortunately, there are still good-hearted people in the village who helped them overcome many difficulties.
Xu Jinning’s mother is one of them. Zhang Ailian has helped her family the most. Now her family still owes sister Ailian money and tickets.
Shen Hongling remembers all these.
Originally, Shen Hongling thought that life would be like this no matter how difficult it was.
Unexpectedly, God seemed to think that the suffering given to her was not enough.
There is a problem with Yuyu.
She and her mother-in-law discovered that Yuyu didn’t speak, didn’t even respond to many things in the outside world, and sometimes screamed for no reason.
At first, they thought that Yuyu might be growing slowly, but slowly, they discovered that this was not the case.
Until one time, an aunt from the village came to their house. When she saw Yuyu’s condition, she blurted out: “Yuyu’s condition looks a bit like that fool in the production team next door.”
Please give me recommendations, monthly votes, and five-star reviews. It’s very important. Thank you everyone!
