Gu Yao was not happy. The sun was shining brightly outside, and her skin hurt from the sun. Gu Ning usually picked vegetables, so how could it be her turn to do these tasks?
But today, Zhao Guihua seemed to have taken a shot of gunpowder. She picked up the broom and knocked on the door, "Why don't you go? Can't you wait for me to serve you?"
Gu Yao felt as if she had a fever, so she had no choice but to open the door, with her feet weak against the bright sun, and went to pick vegetables in the private plot at the back.
Ning Ning, who was enjoying the cool in the west room, was fanning herself with a cattail leaf fan in one hand and eating peaches that had just been soaked in ice water with the other. She felt extremely comfortable. From the window, she watched Gu Yao go inside under the bright sun, and she smiled even more.
Happy.
Gu Jianshe was worried about Ning Ning, fearing that she would lose her temper, so he went to work honestly, and even came back halfway. Seeing Ning Ning resting in the house, he breathed a sigh of relief, "Ning Ning, be obedient and take care of yourself at home for a few days.
Yesterday - "I hung myself, but I was injured after all." He didn't go on because he didn't want to mention his daughter's injuries.
"Dad, I know." Ning Ning waved to him, "Come here and I will show you something good."
Gu Jianshe casually hung the tattered sweat towel on the back of the chair and walked over. Before he could react, half an egg was stuffed into his mouth, "Where did it come from?"
Ning Ning, "I gave you the milk in the morning, and I left half of it for you."
"Then you can eat it yourself, and what can you do for me?" If it hadn't gone into his mouth and couldn't be spit out, Gu Jianshe would have wished he had kept the egg.
Ning Ning blinked, looking more gentle and kind, "Dad has a heavy workload, so he also needs nutrition."
"You, you! Don't do this next time." Gu Jianshe left the house, still savoring the taste of eggs in his mouth, it was so delicious.
By chance, she met Zhao Guihua who was about to feed the chickens. Zhao Guihua knew as soon as she saw her son's expression, "Did Ning Ning give you eggs too?"
What is it called?
Gu Jianshe was stunned for a moment, "Did you eat too?" He thought for a while and then asked, "Mom, how many eggs did you give Ningning?"
"One." Zhao Guihua paused with her hand holding the dustpan and said with emotion, "There is only one egg in total, half for you and half for me. She didn't miss it at all. This child is too filial and sincere."
"As elders, we should take more care of her in the future, and we can't let this good child suffer."
"Mom, don't worry, I understand."
…
In the evening, Liu Shuzhen brought Yangyang back. Liu Shuzhen is Ning Ning's mother. The reason why she was not at home was because she took her youngest son back to her parents' home to borrow tuition fees. Both girls were going to high school in the county.
, she is reluctant to give up even one of them.
It was a coincidence that she came back. Dinner in the kitchen was just ready. The eldest daughter-in-law, Liu Chunhua, was holding a pot of freshly fried cabbage and opened her mouth and said, "Hey, third brother and sister, you are so lucky. Could it be that you waited until dinner time?"
Just came back? Just to save my aunt two mouthfuls of food?"
Liu Chunhua and Liu Shuzhen are still cousins. Liu Chunhua has always looked down on her cousin. Without him, it is just because her cousin has no support and her biological father disappeared early, so her mother raised them up and they lived a good life.
of poverty.
Liu Shuzhen had a stupid mouth. She squeezed eleven-year-old Yangyang's hand tightly and held back two words, "No -"
"Don't eat it tonight if you don't." When Liu Chunhua opened her mouth, Liu Shuzhen couldn't say a word.
Liu Shuzhen lowered her head, and Yang Yang immediately pursed his lips. He was very hungry after running for most of the day.
Ningning came out of the west room and saw the scene of Liu Shuzhen and Yangyang being bullied. She opened her mouth and said, "Auntie, have you taken over my job? Or are you the head of our old Gu family now? My mother eats it."
If you don’t eat, it’s your sister-in-law’s turn to take care of it? Those who know may think that we have a good relationship with each other, but those who don’t know may think that you are deliberately being mean to my mother?”
Liu Chunhua couldn't accept this, not to mention that there was an old lady who was in charge. If she dared to take over the old lady's duties, the old lady could come up and tear her alive.
Liu Chunhua cursed and changed the subject, "Your mother didn't even say anything. How can you, a junior, make any noise?"
Ning Ning sneered, "Then my grandma, the head of the family, didn't tell my mother not to eat. As a sister-in-law, what kind of business do you care about?" Aren't you going to use your elders to pressure others? Rather, it's pressure? Let's see who does it.
Who?
Sure enough, as soon as Ning Ning said this, Liu Chunhua immediately sat down, carrying a pot of vegetables dejectedly and walked inside. At the end, she said, "I am your aunt, you are the disaster star -" she mumbled.
Muttering, the good guy didn't look at the door in front of him, hit his left foot with his right foot, and fell out with the basin and the person together.
A pot of freshly fried Chinese cabbage was poured onto her chest. Liu Chunhua was so hot that she screamed like a pig, "Ahhhhhh!"
"It hurts so much!"
This voice roared, and Zhao Guihua also came out. Looking at the cabbage on the ground, she felt terribly distressed, "Liu Chunhua, you damn thing, you have a useless snack, but you can serve any dish...at night?"
Don’t eat my food!”
Ning Ning left her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law alone to fight.
He turned around and waved quietly to Liu Shuzhen and Yang Yang, signaling them to go back to the west room.
After closing the door, Liu Shuzhen patted her chest in fear, "Ning Ning, why are you so powerful now?" Before, she almost thought she would not be able to get off the stage.
As soon as Ning Ning came, everything changed instantly.
Ning Ning looked at her now much younger mother and whispered, "Mom, once you die once, you won't be afraid of anything." This is the truth.
"What's wrong with dying once? You're not allowed to say such unlucky things at such a young age." Liu Shuzhen didn't know yet about Ning Ning's hanging. She carefully took out a white washed handkerchief from her pocket, with the inside of the handkerchief rolled up.
Holding the scattered twenty yuan, she happily said, "Ning Ning, both of you sisters have tuition."
Ning Ning looked at the handful of coins and suddenly fell into silence. She opened her neck and said, "Mom, Gu Yao ordered me to hang myself and gave her the place to study." She stared at Liu Shuzhen's reaction.
.
Liu Shuzhen's smile gradually disappeared, "What did you say?" She suddenly opened the collar of Ning Ning's clothes, and the purple-black bruises on it were still obvious. Her voice immediately became louder, "Ning Ning, what are you doing?
What are you doing??? Didn’t I tell you that even if I sell my blood, it will still be for you to study!"
"Who told you to hang yourself??" Liu Shuzhen, who was so timid and cowardly, looked like an angry lioness at this moment.
Seeing Liu Shuzhen's reaction, Ning Ning breathed a sigh of relief, and cruelly told the truth, "Mom, Gu Yao forced me to die, just to get a place to study, you still have to spend these 20 yuan."
Will the money for tuition be given to Gu Yao?"
She wanted to cut off Gu Yao's way out with her own hands.
