Chapter 42 Old House
"We are not afraid of severity. We must study hard and make a name for ourselves." The brothers spoke solemnly.
The things they experienced in the past ten days have made them grow up, and they are no longer just children digging in the ground every day.
In a short period of time, their horizons have been widened, and what they see is no longer a world with their faces turned to the earth and their backs to the sky.
They no longer live just for a meal or a piece of clothing, let alone being beaten and scolded every day.
They are eager to read, learn more knowledge, and see a wider world.
“Good, ambitious.” Yu Wan admired her four brothers very much.
Even though they are starting late now, she believes they will work hard to catch up with others, or even surpass them.
Yu Haoran secretly clenched his fists. They must be strong, strong enough to protect the people they want to protect and what they want to do.
Let’s say that after the village chief led Lao Yutou and his family of three back to the village, he handed them over to Lao Yu and Yu Dashan.
The village chief said to Lao Yutou: "Second brother, the matter is over. You can live peacefully in the future. If you don't want to break up, take care of your family. The old ones don't look old, and the young ones don't look young. Hey. !”
Yu Dashan saw that the three of them seemed to have lost their souls, especially Yu Yang. The pig-headed face that Yu Wan had beaten into a face had not gone away at all, but had become even more red and swollen.
Yu Dashan called Mrs. Yu Wang to help the two old men into the bedroom and let them lie down. Then he asked Mrs. Liu to go to the kitchen to get some food.
Yu Dashan came out, found Yu Dahe and said, "Second brother, please go and ask your third uncle to come over and prescribe some medicine for your mother."
“No!” Yu Dahe threw up his sleeves and walked away. He was furious. Some of the rice in the field had not been harvested yet, and now his second wife was doing all the work.
Yu Dahe saw Yu Dahai who was still in the yard and said, "Tell the third child to go. Wasn't his good daughter the one who beat him? Hum! You still have the nerve to come back."
Yu Dashan shook his head, helpless, and said to Yu Dahai: "Third brother, then you go and invite the third uncle."
Yu Dahai carried his luggage and walked into the room where they used to live in the third room. When he entered the door, he saw that the beds inside had been dismantled and a room full of rice was piled up. He had no choice but to hang the baggage on the clothes pole outside, and then walked out of the house.
As soon as he left, Old Si Yu Dajiang rushed out of another room and quickly took off Yu Dahai's baggage. He untied it and rummaged through it. Except for a few sets of clothes, there was nothing.
"A poor guy who doesn't have a single copper coin, lives in such a big house, and works as a master for a few days for nothing. He is just trash. There are useless people everywhere he goes. Bah."
“Fourth brother, what are you mumbling about?” Yu Dahe originally asked Yu Dahai to call Lang Zhong and then returned to his room. After sitting for a while, he remembered that Yu Dahai seemed to have a baggage hanging on him. Then I came out. As soon as I came out, I heard the fourth child nagging.
Yu Dajiang hurriedly hid the baggage behind his back, "Nothing to say, you heard wrong, hehe, second brother, how are our parents?"
Yu Dahe looked around to see if there was no one. He said: "Huh! Don't be pretentious. Don't know? Go and see for yourself. Take it out. I saw it. It's the third child's baggage. Do you want to take it all to yourself?"
"Hey, how can I do that? Do you have a share in seeing me? Come on, come on, let me give you a piece of clothing." Yu Dajiang pulled Yu Dahe and ducked into the house.
The two brothers divided the clothes. You have one piece and I have a piece that is good for both brothers.
Yu Dahe: "There are really only these clothes in here? Not a single copper coin?"
Yu Dajiang curled his lips: "Can't I still lie to you? Let's go. The third child will come back later."
“Hmph! Come back as soon as you come back, a useless loser.” Yu Dahe shook his sleeves and left.
Yu Dajiang saw that Yu Dahe was gone, and he also stood up, with the baggage tucked under his arm, and said "poof" at Yu Dahe, "What the hell, you are not just trash, but you are more of a waste, no!"
After two sticks of incense, Yu Dahai led Uncle Yu Sanbo who was carrying a medicine box. He was the only good doctor in the village.
They headed towards the house of the old couple. As soon as Yu Sanbo entered the house, he saw the two of them lying on the bed like dead people. Yu Yang still had a pig-headed face.
Yu Sanbo took a few steps in. Yu Dashan happened to be in the room as well. He hurriedly moved a stool and put it in front of the bed and said, "Sanbo, please show it to my mother."
Yu Sanbo nodded, first checked Lao Yu’s pulse, then turned around and sat down to check Mr. Yu Yang’s pulse.
After a long time, Yu Sanbo stood up and said, "There's nothing wrong with your father. He's just too frightened. Just take a few pills and he'll be fine. As for your mother, the swelling has subsided and she'll be fine after taking a few pills. Ask someone to come back with me to get it." Just medicine will do.”
Then he took out a small bottle of medicine from the medicine box and put it in Yu Dashan's hand: "Apply this once a day, totaling 500 yuan."
After saying that, Yu Sanbo picked up the medicine box and left.
He really doesn't want to stay here any longer. There are not many good things in this family. There are only one eldest son to guard the whole litter of sons and grandsons.
As the old saying goes, if the upper beam is not straight or the lower beam is crooked, the old ones have the same virtue, and how can the younger ones be better? Especially that Yu Yang, he didn't want to show her at all, he was mean and cruel. Even the beasts know how to protect their children, so she is good at it, but she is worse than a beast when she rubs her sons and grandsons to death.
Yu Sanbo carried the medicine box on his back and didn't wait for anyone to follow him. He looked coldly at the old couple's house and strode away.
In the house, Yu Dahai didn't go out for a long time. Yu Dajiang looked at him doubtfully: "Third brother, why are you still here? The third uncle has already left."
Yu Dahai squirmed: "Brother, I don't have any money."
Yu Dashan sighed deeply. This third child really couldn't hold up the wall. He couldn't figure out why none of his children were like him.
Yu Dashan didn’t have any money either. Anyone in the family who had a copper plate had to hand it over. There was no other way, so he got closer to Lao Yu and saw Lao Yu looking at the roof with his eyes open.
Yu Dashan looked up at the roof. There were only a few beams and tiles, so there was nothing to stare at.
“Dad, you know where my mother put her money. Get up and give five hundred coins to the third uncle, and go to the third uncle’s place to get the medicine for your second uncle.”
As soon as Lao Yu heard the money, he immediately stood up and looked at Yu Dashan River and Yu Dahai: "You two go out first."
The brothers went out immediately and closed the door behind them.
Lao Yutou then ran to the foot of the bed, dug out the stone, and took a look, it was empty? He rubbed his eyes again and saw that it was still empty. He immediately walked a few steps towards the bed, opened the secret compartment and saw that the household registration was still there. He immediately opened it when he reached the page about Yu Dahai.
His chest pocket buzzed, and he collapsed on the ground, chanting: "It's over!"
Outside the house, the two brothers heard the noise and pushed the door open. They saw Lao Yu sitting on the ground with his head sitting on the ground, finishing reading.
Brothers, you looked at me and I looked at you. They lifted Lao Yu's head up and asked, "Dad, what's the end?"
Lao Yutou reacted, rushed over, grabbed Ms. Yu Yang and asked, "Where is the money box? Where did you hide the money box?"
