Chapter 42 The Plight of the Wife’s Family

The two hugged each other and cried for a while, and finally calmed down.

at this point.

No matter how much I cry, it's useless.

With the village chief's personal guidance, Lin Fan arrived at his wife's natal home.

how to say?

Just one word, that is poverty.

The small courtyard is made of mud mixed with fur grass.

When Lin Fan and the others came over, there was a child as thin as a monkey in the low courtyard, lying on the wall, looking at them timidly and curiously.

Su Xiaoxiao supported her mother. When she saw the child on the wall, she suddenly shouted excitedly: "Little Wuyou!"

"Are you...Aunt Xiao?"

When his name was called, the child looked at Su Xiaoxiao carefully, and then asked with some uncertainty.

"Yeah, it's Aunt Xiao. I didn't expect you to still remember me."

When Su Xiaoxiao saw that the child recognized her, she finally had a smile on her face, and she got out of the haze of her mother's blindness a little bit.

There is no need for Lin Fan to ask.

The village chief accompanying him once again took the initiative to give a detailed introduction.

This timid child is the child of one of Su Xiaoxiao's brothers.

According to seniority.

Su Xiaoxiao is his aunt.

"Aunt Xiao!"

When he was sure that he had not admitted his mistake, the child immediately rushed out of the yard and hugged Su Xiaoxiao's legs.

The child was not tall, yellow and thin, and looked malnourished at first glance. His hands and feet had little strength, but he still hugged his aunt's legs tightly, for fear that his aunt would disappear if he let go.

It can be seen from this that Su Xiaoxiao was very popular at home before, and this little nephew was also very attached to her.

"Uncle Su, why didn't you see my uncle? Isn't he at home?"

Lin Fan knew that his daughter-in-law had a brother at home, but he didn't see him now, so he casually asked the village chief.

The village chief did not answer, but just said: "You will know if you go in and take a look. In these days, little girl Su's family has undergone great changes. If you really love little girl Su, you should pay more attention to her in a while."

When Lin Fan heard this,

I knew something was wrong.

Probably the blind mother is not the biggest thing.

This was quickly verified. As soon as the group walked into the yard, they smelled the strong smell of herbs, and there were a lot of medicinal residues and a medicine pot placed under the eaves.

Not only was the mother-in-law crying blindly, but other people in the family were also in trouble.

"Where's my brother? Isn't he at home?"

Su Xiaoxiao held her little nephew in her arms. When she saw what was under the eaves, she suddenly looked a little uncomfortable and asked her mother.

The old mother didn't answer, she just sighed and cried silently.

What happened these days was simply a disaster for her, an old mother who had already lost her husband.

When Su Xiaoxiao saw this situation, she suddenly became unsteady and her body shook uncontrollably. If Lin Fan hadn't been prepared and quickly supported her, she might have fallen to the ground.

"Wuyou, tell Aunt Xiao what happened to your father?"

Feeling Lin Fan's warmth, Su Xiaoxiao finally recovered a little and asked her nephew.

The child didn't have so many thoughts. When he heard the question, he answered directly: "My father's leg is broken. He has applied a lot of medicine and is lying on the bed in the room now."

"The leg is broken? How did it break?"

Su Xiaoxiao's face turned pale. This era is not as good as modern times. If your leg is broken, go to the hospital and get a steel plate. It won't be a big problem.

in this era.

Those who are rich are fine, but once a poor person breaks a bone, he is likely to be disabled for the rest of his life, and may even be unable to bear the pain of inflammation and simply die.

Su Xiaoxiao did not expect that such a big change would happen to her family after she had only been away from home for three months.

Her father had passed away due to illness a few years ago. Fortunately, her eldest brother was there to carry her, and her old mother was very clever and took her to help others with sewing and mending work, earning some money to support the family.

I can’t say enough good things,

But the days were pretty good.

But now,

The eldest brother, who was the mainstay, had a broken leg, and the mother, who could support the family with her craftsmanship, was blinded by crying.

This is a disaster for a family that is already barely surviving.

She couldn't imagine it.

If I come back a little later, will I never have the chance to see my family again?

"I don't know either. I just heard that there was a lot of noise in the village one day, and my father went out with the hoe at home. Finally, he was carried back by some uncles. At that time, my father was covered in blood. It was so scary!"

The child shook his head. Apparently the adult had not told him and the information he knew was very limited.

At this time, the old mother was also sad and crying, and she could not ask any questions.

Lin Fan could only stand up to help and looked towards the accompanying village chief.

The village chief did not hide anything. He sighed again and said, "It's a long story, but I'll let the boss of the Su family tell you the specific situation."

"Fine."

Lin Fan didn't force anything. After all, his uncle only had a broken leg and he was not dead. When we meet later and ask him, what happened will not be a secret.

"Second child, bring a piece of fragrant deer bacon to Uncle Su as a greeting gift."

Without getting entangled in this issue, Lin Fan gave instructions to Wang Erxiao who was following him.

"Okay, Brother Fan."

Wang Erxiao came here to help. When he heard the order, he took out an exquisite gift box without saying a word.

This kind of exquisite gift box is only used by wealthy families to hold gifts. This gift box alone is of great value.

Not to mention,

It contains fragrant deer bacon, which can only be enjoyed by wealthy families. It is sold in pieces, and the value of each piece is no less than five taels of silver.

Not only does it have extremely high nutritional value, but it also tastes pretty good. It is very popular among the upper class.

Because deer represents good fortune, it is also the first choice for many people as gifts.

Although the village chief has never eaten pork, he has seen pigs running away.

He had also heard of luxury goods such as fragrant deer bacon.

But I have only heard of it, but I have never tasted it in such a long life.

even,

When I went to the county town, I saw it on a container in a store.

But just like this, he boasted to many people when he returned to the village, making those rough guys yearn for him.

did not expect,

Now, someone gave him a gift. It was just a meeting gift between the two parties.

Looking at the exquisite gift box in his hand, he was completely shocked at this moment, and looked at Lin Fan again with an even more respectful gaze.

Such a generous act.

If you are not a real big shot, it is impossible to get it.

“This is too expensive”

"Take it, it's just a piece of meat for eating."

The village chief originally wanted to postpone it, after all, it was too expensive in his opinion, but before he could finish speaking, Lin Fan waved his hand and interrupted.

After connecting with the business of Shenjian Villa, he will no longer be short of these small sums of money.

On the contrary, the other party is the village chief and can take care of his daughter-in-law's natal family in the future.

A small favor.

This investment is very worthwhile.

When the village chief saw this situation, he hesitated and put it away. The big man sincerely gave the gift. If he delayed it again and again, he would seem a little ignorant.

"You guys gather together first. My family lives next to the big tree in front of me. If my uncle has any orders, he can have someone come to me at any time."

The village chief said respectfully and left with the gift given to him. The married daughter took her uncle back to her parents' home for the first time. Naturally, he had a lot to say. His mission was completed, so he would not stay any longer.

The old mother was also very pleased. After all, her daughter was not only fine, but also married to a good man. Not only was her family well off, but she also doted on her daughter very much.

I have never spared any effort in this regard. I came all the way from the county seat and brought many gifts, so I knew what the situation was like.

But thinking about her son's condition, she couldn't help but sigh again, with a look of deep worry on her face.
