Chapter 166 The truth about the huge debt of the old Wang family
Everyone in Hujia Village knows that Mrs. Wang is very lucky and has four sons.
Maybe it was because she gave birth to all sons, and all the sons gave birth to grandchildren, and there were no women at all.
Everyone said that their old Wang family had no daughters.
Naturally, some people are sour, and more people are secretly envious.
Nowadays, most people think that when a son is born, he is a baby. As long as he can survive the stage of being a poor boy, it will be a great help when he grows up.
The son does not have to marry off, he has a lot of strength, he can farm food at home, and he can also provide for his own retirement.
Once a daughter is married off, it is very difficult to come back.
Even some people's in-laws are strict, and they can't go back to their parents' home for more than ten years.
But no one in Hujia Village knew that before entering Hujia Village, Mrs. Wang fled with four sons and one daughter.
At that time, the emperor was in a daze, and he was obsessed with cultivating immortals all day. The court was corrupt and the people complained.
Because the heaven is not beautiful, there are famines all over, and uprisings have occurred in many places. The place where the old Wang family originally lived was affected by the war, and they had to leave the old land and survive in the cracks.
They wanted to find a remote and quiet place to live. Although the journey was hard at first, it was still possible for the family to support each other.
On the road, they encountered many things about selling their children and selling their daughters, and even changing their children to eat, but they should not have seen them all.
Wang Chuanman and Wang Aibao are a pair of twins, and they are also Mrs. Wang's favorite pair of children.
It is said that the emperor loves the eldest son, and the common people love the youngest son. Mrs. Wang is no exception.
Wang Aibao is very smart and showed great talent at the age of two or three. Even when they were fleeing the famine, the little Wang Aibao was always happy.
She likes to follow her brothers very much, and she can also pull wild vegetables and fruit along with her, sometimes finding more than her brothers.
Mrs. Wang taught the children to read poetry, and little Wang Aibao always learned the fastest.
When he was four or five years old, Wang Aibao fell in love with Mrs. Wang's embroidery skills and pestered Mrs. Wang to teach her every day.
At that time, they lived in no fixed place. Sometimes they stayed in one place for two or three months before leaving. Mrs. Wang couldn’t bear the patience to teach her daughter, but she also took time out to give a few injections occasionally.
Wang Aibao is extremely talented. Even if she is only 5 years old, she can pick up needles and needles, but she is not very good at embroidery at that time, but she likes to write and draw on the ground with branches.
She invented a flower with six leaves, and imagined the color of the flower and the shape of the leaves.
Mrs. Wang simply embroidered his imagination, and then told Wang Aibao: "Bao'er, this will be your life flower in the future. Whatever you like in the future, just embroider a flower on it."
"I like my mother, can I embroider one on my mother's body?" Wang Aibao deliberately asked mischievously.
Mrs. Wang scratched her little nose, both amused and angry: "Then you can come and try and see if Mother will spank you."
Wang Aibao giggled into a ball.
When Wang Aibao was 6 years old, they walked into a county town. They happened to encounter a famine in the county town. A large number of refugees poured in. Perhaps they were too hungry. The refugees were not satisfied with the free porridge given every day and began to rob them.
There is a problem with this grab.
The people of Lao Wang's family were scattered by the refugees.
The government directly and forcefully suppressed and killed many people. At that time, blood flowed into rivers and corpses were everywhere.
The people of the old Wang family were lucky to be alive, but Wang Aibao was terrified and had a high fever for several days.
In order to save Wang Aibao, Mrs. Wang had to go up the mountain to collect herbs and find something to eat.
At that time, most of them could only eat bark.
The bark is not edible after peeling it off. Some bark can be boiled in water and eaten directly, but most of the bark must be dried and ground into powder, and then made into bark cakes.
Wang Aibao was weak and could not eat bark cakes at all, so Lao Wangtou had to go further afield, begging those kindhearted people to give alms or two.
At that time, they really met a kind person who gave them a bag of food, and even helped them buy medicine in the county town, taking care of Wang Aibao very carefully.
The old Wang family let their guard down, thinking that he was really a kind-hearted person, but as soon as he didn't pay attention, Wang Aibao was stolen by that person.
The old lady Wang was almost crazy.
However, there was chaos everywhere at that time, and it would be nice to be able to save your life, let alone find someone.
can't be found at all.
But Mrs. Wang didn’t believe it, she went looking for it like crazy.
Everyone else said: "Don't look for it any more, this year, what do you think the child will be used for when it is stolen?"
Perhaps in the past years of harmonious life, the child was stolen, even if it was taken to support, the boy could be a successor, and the girl could be a child bride.
But now everyone can't eat enough, let alone raise other people's children, so the biggest possibility is that Wang Aibao is eaten as an exchange by others...
Someone said indifferently: "What's the use of a daughter? It's not just money-losing goods! If you lose it, you will lose it, so what else can you find. I don't think you really want to get your daughter back, maybe you also want to replace someone else's child. eat."
The man who was talking was chased for two miles by Mrs. Wang with a big rock, and a big bag was smashed on his head.
In the chaotic world, there is no law, and that person can only admit that he is unlucky and stay far away from Mrs. Wang.
That is, since then, Mrs. Wang seems to have suddenly changed a person. She is no longer soft and weak, her speech is no longer gentle and polite, and she is more strict with the only four children left in the family.
Mrs. Wang never stopped looking for her little daughter. They stopped and went all the way when they suddenly learned that the emperor had died suddenly, the crown prince had ascended the throne, and the era name was changed to Minghua.
The rebels were wiped out one by one, the war gradually subsided, and the disaster seemed to be lessened.
Everything around is returning to order, but Wang Aibao has no trace.
Mrs. Wang's heart was ashes, and she was like a walking corpse all day, which made her family feel particularly distressed.
For the sake of her own children, she still gritted her teeth and endured it.
This forbearance, until the eldest son Wang Chuanfu met Feng, and the two almost made a private life, just at that time, they went to Hujia Village.
Mrs. Wang's body couldn't bear it any longer, and she collapsed and fell into a coma for more than a month.
After waking up again, the first thing Mrs. Wang said was: "Just here, don't leave."
She is tired.
So far, Mrs. Wang seems to have been drained of all her strength, and she can hardly support her body.
Old Wang saw this and quickly supported Mrs. Wang.
"Old lady, you have to hold on! Go to the room to rest first, and let's talk about other things tomorrow. It's been 17 years, so there's no rush at this time."
Mrs. Wang calmed down and looked at her sons and daughters-in-law: "Didn't you always want to know if there is still a sum of money in the family, where do you owe it? Then I'll tell you."
"The money was 2,000 taels. It was borrowed from a pawnshop shopkeeper. The money was not used for anything else. It was all taken to find Aibao. You don't have to worry, you don't have to pay the money back, and you shouldn't know , in the future, even if we don't come, the shopkeeper will not trouble you."
Mrs. Wang glanced at the veil on the table again, her eyes deep: "Since God let me see this veil, I will not miss it. If you are dissatisfied, just keep it in your heart. Anyway, I One day as a mother-in-law, you can be the master of the house for one day, even if you have different opinions, I don't plan to accept the old lady."
The son and the daughters-in-law looked at each other, wondering if the mother had lost her mind.
What can you say with just a handkerchief?
What's more, Wang Aibao was only 6 years old at the time, so he might not remember things from his childhood.
