Chapter 2 The family is surrounded by four walls
“How can people live in this, this, this?” Yang Erdan asked his soul.
After receiving the news, the village chief looked at the two rooms and shook his head. He said pityingly to the Yang Datou brothers: "Hey! I really don't know what to say about your second aunt! If you had gone looking for her at that time, I'll help, and no matter what happens, your family won't be kicked out!
Now that your grandpa and grandma have come to see me, and the deed of family separation has been prepared, I can’t say much more! You guys take this bag of beans, life is made by people, I believe you brothers are all good, there will definitely be no problem, as for your mother-in-law"
The village chief frowned when he saw the woman lying on the stretcher, "Look at her fate! It's best if she can live. If you can't live, you don't have to be sad. Life and death are determined by destiny!"
Jiang Ning frowned and said secretly: "What's going on? This old man doesn't seem to want her to survive?"
As she thought about it, she just felt a headache, and many memories of the original owner came to her mind. This weird thing almost made her angry and she almost lost her temper. The original owner's temperament was similar to Qian's, he was mean, took advantage, and was arrogant and unreasonable. If you let her take over, she will **** your blood like a leech.
With Qian's two major stabs, it was troubled from morning to night every day. For a bean, they could fight with each other, making chickens flying.
The original owner not only fought with Mr. Qian, but also with the women in the village. She would lick her face and grab sweets from children when she saw them. She was so shameless and shameless that everyone in the village had to take a detour when they saw her.
How could a highly educated person in Jiangning accept being transported into such a body? Wouldn't this cost her her life?
By the time she collected her thoughts and slowly opened her eyes, the sky had turned completely dark.
Jiang Ning tried to sit up, and the wooden board under him immediately creaked.
Liu Ye heard the noise and immediately ran in from outside, "Aniang, are you awake?"
Jiang Ning snorted slightly. His head still hurt a little, but it was much better than before. The wound on his head was probably clotted with blood.
“Datou, my mother-in-law is awake!”
Following Liu Ye's call, Yang Datou came in holding a torch and a bunch of tails. Everyone stared at Jiang Ning eagerly. Jiang Ning's head was as big as a bucket, and her stomach was rumbling. She was about to die.
Liu Ye quickly held a bowl of food that looked like nothing and put it in front of Jiang Ning, "Mom, please eat it while it's hot."
As soon as she finished speaking, the eyes around her seemed to get brighter. If she had to describe it, it was like a hungry wolf staring at a rabbit.
Jiang Ning could still hear some smacking sounds, but unfortunately she was too hungry, her eyes were dizzy, and she couldn't see clearly. She took the bowl and took a sip, almost vomiting, "What is it?"
Liu Ye was frightened, thinking that her mother-in-law would scold her again as before, so she explained with a white face: "My mother-in-law, the family just separated today. The food can only be divided after the autumn harvest. There is no money in the family. The grower gave me some beans, and I cooked soup and porridge with wild vegetables."
Potherbaceous vegetables! No wonder it tasted astringent and bitter in the mouth, like Chinese herbal medicine. It was cooked with beans. The taste was so weird that she couldn't even describe it. She seemed to be even hungrier after having something in her stomach. Jiang Ning couldn't care less about the unpleasant taste. It was like drinking medicine. Finished it in three or two gulps.
Liu Ye felt relieved when he saw her finish drinking, and quickly took the lead to go out.
The room became dark again.
What Jiang Ning saw after lying down was a sky full of stars. This kind of scene is difficult to see in the 21st century. Outside the house.
Liu Ye said to Yang Datou: "My mother's condition seems to be much better. Let's take a look at it at dawn. If it doesn't work, we can borrow some money to take her to the town."
Before the family was not divided, they were not qualified to borrow money and could not borrow money. Now that the family is divided, although everything is clear, at least they can be the masters of the family.
Yang Datou nodded, sat on the stone and fell into deep thought, but he was in trouble. Who should I borrow this money from?
In silence, everyone fell asleep one after another around the fire.
Jiang Ning didn't sleep at all. The mosquitoes buzzing around her almost didn't carry her away. Even if she covered her face with her hands, she would be bitten. She got up as soon as the sky was slightly bright. With the dim light, she finally saw clearly. The house looks like an adobe house of about 20 square meters, with mottled walls and pits on all sides. One third of one side has collapsed, and there are small holes on the other two or three sides. I don't know if they were washed away by rain or caused by man.
Half of the thatched roof is gone, and the other half is probably only one layer left. It has no effect except to block the sun. If it rains heavily, the bottom will get wet.
There were a lot of weeds growing on the ground, including the difficult-to-treat cowgrass. There was a bed board in the corner, where she slept. There was nothing but a bed board, and the walls of the house were not so clean!
Jiang Ning took a deep breath and comforted himself: "Fortunately, the air is fragrant, so it's not all a bad thing!"
Thinking like this, she turned around and walked out of the yard. She saw four men and two women sleeping spread out around the fire. Except for Liu Ye, they were all her cheap children. Every one of them was malnourished. The eldest Yang Logically speaking, Datou should be fifteen years old, but she looks like she is twelve or thirteen years old. Such a young child could start a family. She simply cannot imagine that the youngest daughter, Xiaoya, is six years old and looks as big as a four-year-old child. .
What a sin!
Jiang Ning shook his head, turned around and entered the room next door. This one was even more amazing, it didn't even have a roof, it was open style! There was a half-rotten stove inside, and the ground was overgrown with weeds. She was worried that a snake would jump out when she stepped on it, so she quickly retreated.
After thinking for a while, her eyes fell on the bonfire that still had some sparks. It took some effort to relight the fire, got some torches and threw them on the floor of the stove. When the weeds slowly started to burn, she breathed a sigh of relief and put the things in the separate house. I took a quick look at things.
The only things they were given were clothes that a few of them usually wore and a tattered winter coat for each of them. A bed of tattered quilts and two straw mats that they had slept on for who knows how many years were being spread on the bodies of several children. I'll give them a chopping knife and a sickle. I should give them some food. I wonder if it was too late yesterday and the old house didn't have time to load it for them.
In addition to these, there are a few baskets, a wooden barrel, a wooden basin, two pairs of bowls and chopsticks, and a small bag of beans given by the village chief.
Jiang Ning laughed angrily when he saw the two pairs of bowls and chopsticks. The seven of them shared two pairs of bowls and chopsticks. It was too bullying! How to cook without a pot?
Jiang Ning stood up and took a closer look, only to find that Liuye used an earthen pot. She pointed at this earthen pot to feed the seven people. She no longer knew what to say.
The top priority is to find food. At least, we need to stock up on food for a few days, lest these children cannot survive even three days. There is also the problem of housing. Rongshu Village is located in the south. Although winter is not as cold as in the north, But it also snows here in winter.
This house is the same as the others. It has to be demolished and rebuilt before people can live in it.
Ordinary farmers who want to renovate their house have to devote their entire family efforts and save for ten or twenty years, but she must get the house out before winter, otherwise the whole family will not be able to survive the winter.
Thinking of this, Jiang Ning only felt that the burden on his shoulders became heavier.
