Mrs. Liu did not control her voice, "My family, Xiujuan, has already given birth to two children. This is the third child. If everything goes well and she needs to go to the city to give birth? She is already pregnant, and she still has people doing heavy work. What kind of family has lost their conscience."

"My daughter fell down and had fetal convulsions. She was sent to the city. The doctor said that if we don't use some good medicinal materials, we will kill two people. At this time, as long as there is any conscience, it is impossible not to save her."

"Oh, I really didn't expect that my in-laws from the Chen family have no conscience. They were originally in Renji Hall, but they just carried people on their backs to Baimin Hall. The fatal thing is that Baimin Hall doesn't have good medicinal materials and can't save people.

.”

"My eldest son-in-law and granddaughter ran all the way from the county seat to Chenjia Village. Our family rushed to the county seat overnight to go to Baimin Hall to take Xiujuan to Renji Hall. The shopkeeper of Renji Hall was kind-hearted, and my daughter-in-law was about to give birth.

, I went to the provincial capital early to invite a midwife to come over, because we, Xiujuan, and my grandson are blessed with great fortunes and are lucky enough to meet good and capable people."

"But even so, I wasted time and fell down, leaving a lot of blood. It took me a full night to give birth."

"Zhang Xiandao, Jiang Acui, where are you? You are unwilling to give up the money, and you can't help anymore. I'm going to put it here today. Either the family will be separated, or we will meet with the county government and you will be killed. How can we do it?

It's all peaceful." Mrs. Liu said all the words without taking a breath.

The Zhang family couldn't hide any more. Mrs. Liu shouted so loudly that many people in the village could hear it. A young woman wearing a patched and washed coarse cloth dress opened the door to invite her.

"Okay, stop talking, I'll wake the child up later." Chen Dazhong made a fool of himself at the right time and took the lead in entering Zhang's house.

"Xiaoyue and Xiaoxing, you two are going to go shopping with your aunt." Chen Xiuyan didn't want her children to hear any more inappropriate words, so she led the two sisters out.

Chen Xiuyan is not worried about the separation of the family. Having cheap parents is not a problem. It can be seen that the situation of the Zhang family is not as good as that of the Chen family, and this time the loss is at the forefront. As long as she stands firm, the matter can be easily solved.

Chen Xiuyan paid more attention to the two children on the left and right. Their hair was yellowing, their bodies were thin, and their clothes looked too big and they were changed to smaller ones, which showed that life at home was not going well.

"Here, eat some candy." Chen Xiuyan took out a small oil paper seal like a magic trick and squatted down to open it. Inside, there were six yellow-brown candy cubes with many peanut particles stuck on them. The scent of sugar and peanuts wafted out.

"Peanut candy." Chen Xiuyan first stuffed one piece for each of the two children, and then gave the rest to Zhang Xiaoyue for her to put away.

"Auntie, it's so sweet." Zhang Xiaoxing is young and doesn't hold grudges. What happened in the past is long gone. What's more, there are delicious food now, and I can't imagine that Chen Xiuyan was once bad.

Zhang Xiao became more dependent and trustful on Chen Xiuyan after her menstruation yesterday. In the face of big events, the trivial things in the past are nothing.

"Today I will go to my grandpa's house with my aunt to stay for a while. When everything is done here, we will come back and ask your aunt to prepare delicious food." Chen Xiuyan smiled and rubbed the top of a child's hair with her hand.

Zhang Xiaoxing nodded with joy on his face, while Zhang Xiaoyue remained silent.

"Don't worry, your mother and younger brother will be taken care of by grandma, so they won't suffer any loss." Mrs. Liu mentioned this before going to bed yesterday. It is generally not allowed to go back to your parents' home for confinement, for fear of ruining the feng shui, but your mother's family is in her husband's house.

Just help take care of her. Mrs. Liu is worried and wants to stay for a few days before going back. Letting Chen Xiuyan take charge of the house these few days is also regarded as learning before getting married. Chen Dazhong has no objection.

"Then I want to go too." Zhang Xiaoyue beamed instantly, showing the longing and joy that a child should have.

"Sister, I still want some candy." Zhang Xiaoxing finished the peanut candy in his mouth and begged Zhang Xiaoyue, "I'm hungry."

"What did you have for breakfast?" Zhang Xiaoyue was stunned when she heard this. She opened the oil paper seal with a little distress and stuffed a candy into her sister's mouth.

"I drank some wild vegetables to make a paste." Zhang Xiaoxing smacked her lips and thought, "But when it came to me, there was only half a bowl left. I don't have enough snacks. I can give my mother more when she comes back."

Chen Xiuyan said nothing and held one by one.

"Auntie, are we going home?"

"No reply."

Chen Xiuyan found a nearby family and gave them five copper coins to help cook two eggs. The current market price of eggs was two cents each. Chen Xiuyan gave an extra cent as processing fee. The family happily accepted it and specially picked a big one.

Yes, after it was cooked, I cut a small plate of pickled cucumbers for Chen Xiuyan and took a pair of chopsticks.

Chen Xiuyan peeled the eggs and handed one to each of the two children.

"She must be an in-law girl from Zhang Cang's family. She really loves her niece." The woman didn't know Chen Xiuyan, but she knew Zhang Xiaoyue and Zhang Xiaoxing. They called her aunt, and she guessed Chen Xiuyan's identity.

Zhang Xiaoxing ate voraciously, but Zhang Xiaoyue didn't eat. When her sister finished eating, she handed over hers again. She ate more abundantly last night and this morning than during the Chinese New Year, but her sister didn't get it.

Chen Xiuyan looked at the scene in front of her and thought of the memory of Chen Xiujuan's care for her when she was a child. She also kept the good things for herself.

When Chen Xiuyan returned to Zhang's house with her two children, many villagers gathered around the door of Zhang's house, with interest on their faces. When they entered the yard, they saw the dark-faced Zhang family, with arrogant expressions on their faces that revealed joy.

The Liu family and several older villagers looked at each other, and Chen Xiuyan knew that the separation of the family was almost done.

"Xiuyan is back." Seeing Chen Xiuyan, Ms. Liu smiled and said, "You go home first. Mom will stay here to take care of your sister for a few days."

"Well, let Xiaoyue and Xiaoxing pack some clothes. They didn't go to the New Year last year. This time they will go to Chenjiacun to stay for a few more days." Chen Xiuyan pushed Zhang Xiaoyue and asked her to pack them.

Mrs. Liu and Zhang Cang were all surprised when they heard Chen Xiuyan's words. Chen Dazhong nodded directly in agreement. Anyway, since Mrs. Liu stayed here, Chen Xiuyan was the one who made the decision in the family.

Zhang Cang nodded, and Zhang Xiaoyue hurriedly went to clean up the house. He didn't forget to tell Chen Xiujuan and Gang De's brother about this. At the same time, he told them about Chen Xiuyan giving their sisters eggs and peanut candies just now. Chen Xiujuan's face changed.

Their expressions were extremely gentle, and they felt deeply that they were indeed sisters with the same blood.

Chen Xiuyan heard Chen Dazhong talking about Zhang Cang and Chen Xiujuan's family separation on the donkey cart going home.

The Zhang family has little land, only six acres of mountainous land in total. There are five brothers in the family. Counting the two elders, each family has exactly one acre. Of course, the Zhang family divided the five members of Zhang Cang's family among them. Zhang Cang's family received a total of mountain land.

One acre, a few pots and pans, one farm tool, one hen, and then a house where they live now.

When the pigs raised in the family were slaughtered at the end of the year, the meat and the money from selling the pigs would be divided into one-sixth share. Everyone received nothing, so as a supplement, the Zhang family gave Zhang Cang and his family a total of 500 yuan.

After hearing the results, Chen Xiujuan finally understood the Zhang family's meager family background.
