Chapter 4 You are not sons

"Mom, don't cry." Da Ya'er wiped Wang's tears sensibly: "You still have my sister and me."

"What's the use of having you?" Mrs. Wang got up and went back to her room: "You are not sons."

She couldn't stand up in this house for a day without her son.

Da Ya'er gritted her teeth as she looked at the lost Wang.

This was the second time she hated herself for not being strong and protecting her mother and sister.

If she had the ability, her sister would not be sold.

"Sister!"

Er Ya'er walked towards her with a pile of dishes and chopsticks in her arms: "If you don't hurry up and wash the dishes and boil water, you'll get scolded again."

The eldest Ya'er lowered her head and looked into the dark eyes of her two younger sisters: "Let's go wash the dishes."

People in Lao Ma's family have to wash themselves with hot water every morning and evening. If they are late, they will be beaten.

The eldest daughter touched the chicken on her sleeves and felt much better. She had to hurry up today.

It wasn't until the moon hung in the center and the wooden hammer rang again and again that the three sisters returned to their room after finishing their work.

It's said to be a room, but it's actually a large warehouse with a lot of miscellaneous things in it.

There was only a single bed set up in the corner for the three sisters to sleep.

There was nothing on the bed except a quilt, but fortunately the moon was bright and bright.

Under the moonlight, Da Yaer slowly opened the oilcloth bag.

"What kind of fragrance is this?" Sannier couldn't help but swallow her saliva when she smelled it.

Er Nier's eyes lit up and she shouted loudly: "It's meat."

She saw several younger brothers and sisters who had eaten it and found it delicious.

"Don't shout." The eldest Ya'er hurriedly covered Er Ya'er's mouth for fear of being heard.

She waited until everyone was asleep before secretly taking it out. If she was discovered, she would be beaten.

Ernier swallowed hard: "Sister, where did you come from?"

She deliberately lowered her voice and stared directly at the four pieces of chicken.

"My sister's Aunt Li gave it to me." The eldest girl said happily, "When mother comes, let's eat together."

The moonlight was bright outside the house, and Mrs. Wang reluctantly got out of bed.

"It's so late at night, why did you ask Sannier to call me?"

The faces of the three sisters turned red with excitement, and Ernie's saliva was all over the place.

"Mom, look what this is." Da Nier picked up the oilcloth bag and handed it to Wang as if offering a treasure.

Under the moonlight, Mrs. Wang saw four pieces of chicken with a vague aroma.

She has been married for ten years, and after giving birth to Ni'er, she has not even tasted meat or broth.

She can't even eat meat, so why can her three daughters have meat?

"Where did you come from?" Wang's face suddenly changed.

You can't learn by being a good person, but you can learn quickly by being sneaky.

Wang's chest was heaving violently, and she wished she could kill these three shameless things now.

"Aunt Li gave it to me." Seeing that Mrs. Wang was angry, Da Nier quickly explained: "We were helping to look after our sister today, and she gave it to us."

In the dark night, Da Nier's eyes were shining like stars outside the house.

It's okay if I don't say it, but when I mention it, Wang becomes even more angry and knocks the meat out of Da Nier's hand: "She stole your sister, and you still go to help her?"

The meat in the oilcloth bag fell to the ground with a thud, splattered with mud.

"Mom, what are you doing?" Da Nier was so anxious that her eyes were red.

"If I don't eat it, you are not allowed to eat it either!" Wang said fiercely: "If it weren't for that woman, you would have a sister now."

If it weren't for that woman, she should have four daughters now.

"Isn't my sister sold by grandma?"

"Nonsense!" Wang slapped Er Nier: "That woman robbed it. If she didn't buy it, my mother wouldn't sell it."

I couldn't eat meat and was slapped. I felt aggrieved and couldn't help crying.

Her voice is loud, especially at night.

"Shut up, you loser." Wang lowered her voice and said to Erya'er, "If you wake everyone up, I want you to look good."

She no longer has a son, so she can't bother everyone over this matter anymore.

She still wants this home.

Er Ya'er covered her mouth and did not dare to make a sound, only tears falling down.

Mrs. Wang then looked at her three daughters with satisfaction.

"That woman stole your sister and has a life-and-death feud with our family. You are not allowed to go look for her again in the future. Do you hear me?"

"knew!"

The three sisters said in unison, Wang nodded, and went back to her room to sleep with satisfaction.

After Mrs. Wang left, the two little ones finally couldn't help crying.

They didn't dare to speak too loudly, so they could only hold their shoulders and sob quietly.

"Stop crying." Da Nier comforted her two younger sisters: "Mom, that's not what you meant."

"The meat is gone." Sannier cried out of breath.

She had never eaten meat in her entire life. Her grandparents and cousins ​​had to eat the meat they cooked several times at home. She had never even drunk the broth.

It was finally possible to eat meat, but it was gone again. Why wasn't she sad?

"It's okay." Da Nier picked up the meat and said, "You can still eat it after washing it."

The two sisters who were eating meat finally broke down into laughter.

"It's so delicious. I don't know when I will eat meat next time."

Ernier burst into laughter. She was reluctant to throw away the chicken bones and wanted to chew them up and swallow them.

Sannier licked her hands vigorously, even the oilcloth bag containing the chicken.

Da Nier looked at the pitiful looks in her two sisters' eyes and gave the remaining half of her meat to the two sisters.

She carefully put away the remaining piece of meat and left it for Wang to eat.

Ma Changjiang went out early in the morning and went to the mountains before going to work in the fields.

It was autumn now, when the prey was at its fattest, so he had to seize the opportunity to kill a few and sell them.

He was lucky today and caught five wild rabbits weighing five to six pounds and a pheasant.

One rabbit was eaten tonight, and the remaining four will be sold at the market tomorrow.

The restaurants in the city love these game meats the most, and they are sure to sell them.

After earning money from selling game, he went to buy a fish, which his wife loved to eat.

It was getting dark by the time he returned from his work.

He only dared to come in after dusting off the dirt on his body outside the house: "Nanny is asleep?"

Li Xueer was sitting embroidering under the candlelight and asked angrily when he came back: "I didn't know I was waiting for you to have dinner at home."

After saying that, he went to serve the dishes and asked Mrs. Zhao to eat.

"I went hunting in the mountains." Ma Changjiang took the meal from Zhao.

In the past, they only had three children, and they could survive no matter what. Now that they have children, they always have to earn more money.

He had inquired about it, and the thicker the girl's dowry, the more her husband's family would not dare to look down upon her.

He is just this precious little girl. She cannot be bullied by others.

"Mom, please tell me, the child is not even a month old yet, so I am thinking about the dowry."

Mrs. Zhao happily picked up a piece of food with chopsticks and said, "You are the same, you took on twice as many embroidery jobs."

Just this girl, if she doesn’t raise her carefully, some gangster will cheat her away with a chicken leg.

By then it will be too late to cry.

After eating, Li Xueer got up and put away the dishes, while Zhao went back to her room with Ma Lan in her arms.

The child was young and had to drink milk at night. The two adults couldn't sleep well and were not energetic the next day.

So Ma Lan slept with Mrs. Zhao at night.

"Madam, mother is asleep!" Ma Changjiang quietly glanced outside: "You should go to bed early too!"

"That won't work. My daughter will be one month old in a few days. I have to make her some clothes!"

"Madam!" Ma Changjiang hugged Ma Ke'er to bed: "I'll do it tomorrow."

"Oh, why did you get in my quilt? Didn't I have to pass yesterday..."

"You're already a father, and yet you're still so intemperate..."

"Please be quieter..."
