Chapter 17 Sold Fat Ya!
(Thank you dear friends for your support, the book review section has never been so lively, hmm!)
A smile so faint that it was almost invisible appeared on Lao Yangtou’s old face, Said: "Fat girl is surprisingly well-behaved tonight. She doesn't cry or make trouble. It's strange that you can sit still all night, you seem to be sensible!"
Hearing Lao Yangtou's praise of Yang Ruoqing, Mrs. Sun was greatly surprised. Her daughter has never been like this since she was born! After receiving this compliment from my father-in-law, I was dumbfounded and didn't even look at him.
What's going on tonight?
But no matter what, when she heard her father-in-law praising her daughter, Mrs. Sun felt happy and a little flattered. She glanced at her daughter standing next to her and muttered: "This child has been seriously ill since she fell into the water." After the show, his temperament became better."
Old Yang nodded and opened his mouth. Before the sound came out, Mr. Tan, who was sitting on the side of the bed, snorted and squinted his eyes. He glanced at Yang Ruoqing and frowned. Frowning, he said: "Stand away, what does this smell like? It stinks like hell!"
Sun's face was red and her ears were flushed. She was a little at a loss as she stood there. Old Yang glared at Tan and said, "Sun." Rescue: "Children are ignorant , Isn’t that what it tastes like? How come you, a nurse, are as good as your own granddaughter?” He didn't gnaw at the yellowed curtain.
Here, Old Yangtou's eyes fell on Fat Ya. I wonder if it was Yang Ruoqing's illusion, but he actually saw something called love and gentleness in Old Yangtou's eyes.
He took out a handful of fried beans from his pocket like a magic trick and stuffed them into Yang Ruoqing. He said to her in a coaxing tone: "Fat girl, I and I have something to tell your mother. Take this bean and go to the door Eat later and be obedient!”
Yang Ruoqing glanced at Mrs. Sun and saw that Mrs. Sun nodded secretly to her, then she took the beans and turned around and squatted in the corner in front of the door, eating. crisp.
Lao Yangtou withdrew his gaze, sighed secretly, and said to Mrs. Sun: "Third daughter-in-law, you have seen the attitude of each house regarding this matter tonight. This matter of the third child is a bit... It’s so difficult!”
Sun stood in front of the bed with a low eyebrow, her eyes falling on her pair of broken shoes on the ground, and she heard Old Yang’s voice ringing softly again.
“Among my five sons, the third is the most adept at farm work and willing to do it. Now that he has collapsed, the table has really been sawn off for our old Yang family. One leg! Your mother and I are both old, and we will rely on you for support from now on. You guys..."
"It's us who are unfilial..." Mrs. Sun said in a low voice, feeling very guilty.
She doesn’t complain about heaven or earth, she only blames herself and Qing’er’s father for their bad fate, for such a thing to happen.
"Hey, don't say that. You and the third child are both good children, good children who understand filial piety!" Lao Yangtou said with emotion. When the conversation changed, a flash of determination flashed in Lao Yangtou's head. : "Lao San's leg still needs treatment. Let's We can't just watch him become useless. Your mother and I will rely on you for our retirement in the future!" Mrs. Sun suddenly raised her head as if hearing the sound of nature, her eyes were so excited that her lips were filled with excitement. Couldn't help but tremble slightly.
"But, eldest brother and second brother..." Mrs. Sun muttered, but hesitated to speak.
"That's why your mother and I left you here to talk." Lao Yangtou said: "You can't help your mother because your son is older. This family is bigger, there are more people, and each room has its own agenda. Although your father and I are The head of a family can't act arrogantly. Besides, your second brother's words are a bit harsh, but if you think about it, it's still reasonable. The third child's legs are too risky. Maybe if we invest money, we will end up with nothing. We are from the countryside and live a hard life digging in the dirt. We can’t afford to gamble.”
Sun’s newly raised expectations were suddenly dashed! With a ladle of cold water, he looked at Old Yangtou sitting cross-legged on the bed with a pair of confused eyes, wondering what his father-in-law meant.
Yang Ruoqing squatted in the corner behind the door eating beans like a fool, her ears raised high, and she paid close attention to every move on the side of the bed.
Lao Yangtou sighed, and said to Mrs. Sun in a serious voice: "Your mother and I have made a plan. After the rice in the fields is gathered into the warehouse in the past few days, we will go to the next village. Invite the royal wife over, please bring Fatty Take a good wash, change your clothes, comb your hair, and coax her not to do anything weird like tonight..."
"Dad, you want to sell the fat girl to a slave?" Sun suddenly exclaimed. , the whole person was panicked, and his voice was trembling.
Yang Ruoqing, who was behind the door, almost bit her tongue. At the family meeting earlier, Lao Yangtou kept talking about unity, unity, and not forgetting brotherhood. Fortunately, her feelings for Lao Yangtou were so slightly better than the others. I didn't expect that this old guy insisted on treating Yang Huazhong's leg and actually wanted to sell her!
Niang Xipi, sister, I am a fool. These two old guys even think of fools!
Lao Yangtou sighed deeply, biting the dry tobacco rod and said nothing.
Lao Yangtou is depressed. No matter how poor his life is, as long as the whole family and He Meimei are together and share a family life, it will be a little harder! He had never thought about selling his son or daughter! But right now, the situation is not up to anyone!
Old Yangtou probably felt that he did not have the courage to say this to his third daughter-in-law, so he winked at Mrs. Tan. Mrs. Tan turned her face and glanced at the corner of the door with a sinister look. Yang Ruoqing snorted in her nostrils, but her words were addressed to Mrs. Sun: "I won't be fat anymore." Ya, what should we use to treat Lao San's legs? You really want a whole family to accompany your third family to drink the northwest wind? It's just a girl. It's a waste of food to keep at home. You can exchange it for some money. Her father treated her leg, so you didn’t support her in vain!”
"But Qing'er..." Mrs. Sun almost blurted out that Qing'er was no longer stupid and could help with the family work, but suddenly, there were several weird laughters coming from behind the door.
Everyone turned around and saw Yang Ruoqing sitting on the ground, playing happily with the mud at her feet. There was still a circle of unchewed bean foam around her mouth, mixed with saliva and Snot, disgusting!
Tan covered her mouth and nose, her brows raised.
Ms. Sun was about to run over and help her up when she suddenly saw her daughter blinking secretly at her. Ms. Sun was stunned for a moment. Mother and daughter were connected, and she suddenly realized something!
He hurriedly said to Tan and Lao Yangtou: "Father, mother, you have all seen that Qing'er is a stupid child, her appearance is not outstanding, and she can't do anything. Who wants one? What about the owner who only wants to make a living after buying it? Besides, Mrs. Wang must go to the village to find out before she comes to our house. Paper can't stop the fire, so let's not think about it..."
