With the little cub gone, Jiang Xinyu felt relaxed and even more energetic to watch the fun.
The old lady of the Yuan family asked for fifty yuan, but the middle-aged couple did not agree. They gritted their teeth not because they couldn't afford it, but because they felt that the money should not be given. They should leave something for Fang Xiaochuan, but they didn't.
It should be given to the Yuan family.
Both the captain and the secretary were convinced by the Yuan family's attitude.
This is not the first time that this kind of thing has happened to their team. Although this kind of thing does not happen often in the village, there have always been examples in the past.
Some families have too many children, and the family is too poor to support so many children, so they will find ways to "give away" one or a few children. Not all people who come to take care of their children are from the city. People from the countryside have no sons.
They would also hug other people's sons, and they would usually take the children away after giving them some food.
The twenty yuan I gave you last time was already very generous.
What the Yuan family is doing now is completely out of an attempt to sell their children at a good price.
"You have two sons for nothing, and you are not even willing to pay fifty yuan. If you had no money, wouldn't Xiaobing and Xiaoping live a hard life with you?"
The eldest aunt of the Yuan family deliberately squinted her eyes and said.
Wu Xiulian had endured it for a long time, and now she cursed: "You surnamed Yuan are not willing to raise them, so you still have the nerve to talk about hard times here? As long as the children can eat, why are hard times not hard?"
The secretary simply said: "You Yuan family members, don't mess around with me here. Xiaobing Xiaochuan's surname is Fang. It's not your turn to dictate whether they should stay or go. If you raise them, these three children will go to your village next year. If you
If you don’t want to raise a child, don’t delay the child’s journey to a new home to meet his new parents.”
"That's not what you said. If you think these three children have nothing to do with us, why are you calling us here?" The Yuan family is confident.
The captain sneered: "Okay, okay, you can go back. We will send the three children to your village next spring."
The middle-aged couple were a little nervous, but calmed down instantly when they saw the captain's look.
"Although our life is better than that of people in the countryside, it's not much better. It's only fifty yuan, Lao Zhao, let's forget it."
Lao Zhao nodded cooperatively, "That's what you said. There aren't many other places in the village, and the most children who don't have enough to eat are the most. Let's go to other places to inquire."
The behavior of the middle-aged couple made the old woman of the Yuan family anxious. The eldest aunt of the Yuan family held her hand and told her to shut up, squinting and humming: "Who are you confused about? Look at the material of the clothes you two are wearing, you don't look like paupers."
.”
The middle-aged woman said: "Who doesn't wear the most decent clothes when going out?"
After saying that, she ignored the Yuan family and turned to the secretary and captain: "Thank you very much for this today. It's getting late. Let's just stay in the village for one night and leave early tomorrow morning. We'll go find out more."
Ask about other villages and don’t force it.”
The Yuan family can no longer remain calm.
"If you have something to say, let's talk it over. We don't say we're not happy about it."
"Old Yuan family, this is your grandson after all, and you just want to sell it?" the aunt in the village shouted.
The old woman from the Yuan family turned around and glared at the aunt, "I have six grandchildren and four granddaughters. Not counting these four grandsons, there are also three grandsons and two granddaughters. The family lacks everything except a boy."
What the old woman of the Yuan family said is unpleasant, but it is the current situation of most families in the village. The family lacks everything except people! When there are more people, food becomes tight. There are very few families who can eat enough, and the same is true for those who can eat well.
Countless.
What does it matter if the married daughter throws away the water, and the son of the daughter-in-law doesn’t matter? The old woman of the Yuan family has no regrets or heartache about sending her grandson away. Besides, if someone wants a son, he will definitely take good care of it, so there is nothing to worry about.
of?
The middle-aged woman didn't even look back. The old woman from the Yuan family hurriedly chased after her after quarreling with others, "If you don't have fifty yuan, ten kilograms of rice, ten kilograms of white flour, and two kilograms of meat, you can take these two children away."
When the woman was about to stop, Lao Zhao firmly pulled her to continue walking.
The old woman from the Yuan family stamped her foot, "How much do you think we can give?"
Lao Zhao stopped and said, "Even if it is given, it is not for your family. You have never raised these two children. Why should we discuss it with you?"
When the eldest aunt of the Yuan family was about to curse, the middle-aged woman spoke up. She looked at Lao Zhao reproachfully, "You can't say that. After all, this old man is the child's grandma, how can you say it has nothing to do with them?"
The eldest aunt of the Yuan family nodded quickly, "Yes, that's the truth!"
The middle-aged woman laughed and said, "So what I mean is that by giving your family three dollars, this family relationship is settled."
The Yuan family waited for the follow-up, but the woman seemed to have finished speaking.
"Gone?"
They stared at each other in disbelief.
The middle-aged woman nodded, "No, if you are not satisfied, forget it, we will go and inquire elsewhere. You are poor, and we are not much better. Maybe in other villages you can pick up a child with only five kilograms of corn grains."
"
"Old Zhao, let's go."
Jiang Xinyu was convinced that the Yuan family would not stare at each other for more than three seconds.
"Take it away, you take it away, bring me three dollars."
Last time it was still twenty yuan, but this time it dropped to three yuan. The Yuan family were a little disbelieving.
Jiang Xinyu saw the middle-aged couple looking at each other, with a smile of success in their eyes.
She thought this couple was okay, but she didn't know whether it was intentional or they were really poor.
But it was true when she told her two children to eat meat and sweets in her courtyard.
After paying for it, the old lady of the Yuan family was about to take people to Fang Xiaochuan's house to see how much food they had, when Fang Xiaochuan jumped out and asked loudly:
"Then what will I do in the future? My brother is gone, who will I live with in the future?"
Fang Xiaochuan had previously heard from his uncle and concubine that after Xiaobing and Xiaoping left, they would take him back and find a home for him to send him away. As for his house, they would sell it directly to other people in the village. Teacher Chen refused to do so for the time being.
He mentioned that she asked him to go to their house, but he really didn't want to follow his uncle back to his grandma's house and be sent away again.
The captain was surprised, "Didn't we agree last time that I would send you to your grandma's house after spring?"
Three brothers are too much for the Yuan family, and there is only one left, so they can take good care of them.
The uncle of the Yuan family said at this time: "There is no need to start the spring. We will take the people back tomorrow. Give us the twenty yuan." The Fang Xiaochuan family should have a lot of food, so they can bring it back together before they go elsewhere.
Ask somewhere if anyone wants a son. It would be easier to send him away.
Fang Xiaochuan shook his head vigorously and said in a loud voice: "I don't live with my grandma and the others. I'm afraid they will sell me out after only a few days with them!"
The uncle of the Yuan family slapped him on the back of the head, "What are you doing, you damn kid!"
Fang Xiaochuan's head hurt from being slapped, so he stayed far away from his uncle from the Yuan family. "From now on, I will be the only one left. I can support myself. If I don't go to the Yuan family, I have nothing to do with them."
He still remembered that every time his mother took him back to his grandma's house, they couldn't even make a living, and the eldest sister would scold him for being a weakling, saying that they came to disturb the autumn wind.
Although he is young, he also knows who is good to him and who is not good to him.
The old woman of the Yuan family refused to let go of the twenty yuan. After getting the twenty yuan, she had to find a family for Fang Xiaochuan to save food from her family.
"If you don't live with us, you will starve to death here."
"Auntie, Xiaochuan is too pitiful. Why don't you take Xiaochuan back and raise him? This will give Xinyu a little brother."
Jiang Baoqin walked quietly to Chen Xiuyun's side. His voice was neither high nor low, but could be heard by those watching the excitement around him.
