Chapter 974 If you don’t have enough to eat, you won’t grow up
The things given to Brother He and the old couple were taken back two days ago.
Fu Jingyou went out to celebrate the New Year with only two packs of cigarettes and ten yuan in change.
When I meet an older person in the village, I smoke.
If there are children at home, depending on the distance of the relationship, they will be given 10.20 cents.
Hong Feng only pricked one, the one given to Yu Hao just now.
Lu Miao had told him last night that it would not be easy for Yu Hao.
They came back to celebrate the New Year, and Yu Hao gave them firewood and chickens.
Although it is a friendship, it is not easy to take other people's things for nothing.
Lu Miao said to give more red envelopes to children.
Fu Jingyou wrapped five yuan alone.
Let’s talk about home.
People from the town and county came to pay New Year's greetings, and Lu Miao stayed at home to have dinner.
Time is tight, and most people are not familiar with it.
Lu Miao said bluntly that the New Year was leaving in a hurry and there was no chance for them to return to the New Year.
When they went back to pay New Year's greetings, it was somewhat of a thoughtful gesture to pack something for each of them and let them take it back with them.
The people who came to pay New Year's greetings all came to make good friends, and they spoke politely, telling Lu Miao to do business first and ignore them.
People come and go, but there is an exception.
County Magistrate Yang Kaisheng also came here with his wife Yu Fenlan.
Lu Miao did not dismiss them casually, but wrote down the matter.
Afterwards, I picked up a set of fine wine and packed two boxes of tea, and asked Fu Jingyou to make a trip when I was in the second grade of junior high school.
By the way, I also went to Hu Zhiyuan's house to visit.
This is the only thing that needs to be done around the New Year. After worshiping each family for the New Year, things will become easier again.
Ming Xia complained that it was not fun in her hometown and there was no TV to watch at night.
He Hongjin took the words to heart and brought the radio from home that afternoon.
It's just that Ming Xia doesn't like listening to the radio either.
Even so, it also attracted Xiaobaichuan's attention.
When people are in front of you, you will get to know them quickly if you rub and bump with them from time to time.
In addition, Xiao Baichuan played the radio, and He Hongjin always turned it on for him to amuse him. After going back and forth, the old and the young became familiar with each other a lot.
Gradually, Xiao Baichuan was happy to be hugged by this black-faced grandpa.
Let’s talk about Brother He and Zhao Lanxiang.
After celebrating the New Year at her parents' house, Zhao Lanxiang thought that things should be almost done, so she went back to Lao He's house on the afternoon of the third day of the Lunar New Year.
It’s just that there is no one in Lao He’s family.
Zhao Lanxiang wondered where everyone had gone.
She didn't dare to go to Fu's house, so she held her breath, cursed and complained to Brother He, and wandered around the house waiting.
This wait lasted until evening.
Minmin was jumping up and down with a rare smile on her face, but when she entered the yard and saw someone, she immediately became shivering again.
When Chen Guifen saw Zhao Lanxiang, she frowned and subconsciously worried about Minmin, preventing Minmin from passing by.
Minmin struggled.
She knows her mother's character.
If she didn't go over, she would definitely make her husband and mother-in-law cry.
Thinking this, Minmin quietly raised her head and took a look.
After meeting Zhao Lanxiang's gaze, Minmin no longer dared to ink, broke away from Chen Guifen's hand, and eagerly moved towards her mother.
But as soon as he got closer, Zhao Lanxiang grabbed his arm and pulled him into the house.
Chen Guifen chased after her and said:
"Young lady, what are you doing here? She is a human being! She is a life! You beat and scold her every day, why are you so cruel!"
Zhao Lanxiang slammed the door directly, stood in the room and cursed:
"I gave birth to the child. What happened if I hit you twice? What does it do to you? You feel sorry for me and don't let me hit you, but I hit you!"
There were several sounds of flesh exploding in the room.
But I could only hear the sound of beatings, but I couldn't hear Minmin crying.
Chen Guifen burst into tears and fell backwards in anger, but Zhao Lanxiang held her back again.
For fear that if he said too much, Zhao Lanxiang would do something worse, so he could only stand in the courtyard and scold Brother He for being nothing. He Hongjin covered his chest and was about to fall. Chen Guifen saw it and quickly wiped her tears
Help him into the house.
In the room, Zhao Lanxiang grabbed Minmin's hair, like plucking a carrot, and after slapping her face, she pinched her body.
Minmin changed into new clothes, no longer as thinly dressed as before.
Zhao Lanxiang pinched her twice but couldn't find any flesh, then she kicked Minmin to the ground as if to vent her anger.
Since she put on clean clothes, Minmin has been careful when going out and going out these days, for fear of getting a little dirty.
Not only was he covered in dust, but a button on his coat was also torn off.
Minmin originally just shed tears silently, but when she saw the button popping out far away, she couldn't help but cry "Wow".
As long as she didn't cry, Zhao Lanxiang became even more angry when she cried.
"Cry, cry, cry! You're mourning the Chinese New Year! You're a loser, you've lost all your luck!"
Zhao Lanxiang kicked Minmin a few times but still felt that it was not enough to relieve her anger. When she saw Minmin reaching for the button at the foot of the bed, her eyes flashed with resentment and she stomped it.
"Ah——"
Minmin pulled back her hand fiercely and cried out in pain.
My hands, which were already swollen with frostbite, were swollen by this foot, and blood oozed from several places.
Minmin was trembling in pain, Zhao Lanxiang pulled her up from the ground again, and asked impatiently:
"Where's the money? Have you got the money?"
Minmin held her bleeding hand and shook her head in fear:
"No money, no money!"
No money?
Zhao Lanxiang was stunned for a moment, and her eyes immediately became sharp:
"Are you saying you have no money again?"
Minmin cried:
“I have no money!”
As soon as she finished speaking, Minmin was slapped on the face, and her nosebleed came out this time.
"Did you not ask her for it? Damn girl, you can't handle such a small thing! Don't blame me for not reminding you! I will give you another chance now. You know that Yang Laizi in the back street. If you can't get it, For money, I will sell you to that Yang Laizi as my wife!”
Despair flashed in Minmin's eyes.
Minmin knew about Yang Laizi behind the alley in the county.
He was old and bad, and he used to always block her in the alley and touch her.
That Yang Laizi is fifty-two years old and she is only thirteen years old. How could she be Yang Laizi's wife?
"Mom, Mom, I'm going to grow up soon. I'll be able to make money when I grow up. Can I give you all the money I make in the future?"
Minmin pulled Zhao Lanxiang and begged:
"Please, mother, don't sell me... I can make money when I grow up..."
Zhao Lanxiang withdrew her hand mercilessly, and when she stood up, she kicked Minmin backwards.
"How much does your aunt love you? As long as you ask for the money, you don't have to be sold. If you don't get it... hum."
Zhao Lanxiang picked up the package on the bed and looked at Brother He who was holding his son.
Complaint flashed in her eyes, and she said with disdain:
"You can't help me with anything. What use do you have to this family? Why don't you leave quickly?"
While talking, Zhao Lanxiang also gave Minmin an ultimatum:
"I'll come back tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. If you still can't get the money, you'll know then."
Who in the village doesn't know that Fu Xiaoliu is rich?
Zhao Lanxiang wanted to get benefits from Lu Miao, but she did not dare to confront Lu Miao directly.
After saying that, he and Brother He left in a hurry.
In the room, Minmin could no longer hold back and cried:
"Little aunt, I, I can't eat enough, and I can't grow up..."
Her little aunt is the one who loves her the most.
There was no way she could ask her aunt to give her mother two hundred yuan.
It is even more impossible to be Yang Laizi's wife.
As long as she is dead, her mother can't force her.
Minmin cried for a while, then suddenly wiped away her tears and got up, bolting the door from the room.
She picked up the buttons of her coat and dusted them off, carefully put them into her pocket, and then carefully dusted them off.
Searching around the house, Minmin found half of a hemp rope.
Her dirty and swollen little hands put the hemp rope through the door latch. Minmin turned her back and put her head through the rope.
"Deng Deng——"
The door panel was shaken slightly by the force of gravity.
