Half-demon peasant girl has space

Chapter 5 He Chengui's Mother and Son's Narrative

After hearing this, Duan hurriedly wiped away the tears on her face, then turned her head to look at the young man: "Ah Chen, you are back, are you hungry, mother will cook you something to eat."

This boy is Tao Hechen, Duan's son.

Tao Hechen was carrying a big bamboo basket, which seemed to be full and covered with a layer of leaves. He took the bamboo basket off his back and said, "Mother, I'm not hungry. I ate some wild food on the mountain. Fruit, I brought back some wild fruits for you and my little sister, and picked a lot of wild vegetables, enough for us to eat for two days, by the way, is my little sister awake?"

"I woke up, but my head still hurts badly, and I have forgotten a lot of things." Speaking of Qianlian's injury, Duan was also worried.

"Forgot something?" Tao Hechen said in surprise, "Little sister lost her memory?"

"There are so many things I can't remember." Duan said with a sigh.

Tao Hechen couldn't help being a little angry and said: "The little girl who was hurt by the milk hurt so badly, but we can't get justice for the little girl, and I get angry when I think about it."

Mrs. Duan hurriedly patted Tao Hechen, and said: "That's your grandma, besides, your grandma is also sick, we are juniors, how can we criticize the elders?"

"My grandma is just pretending to be sick." Tao Hechen curled his lips: "Mom, haven't you seen clearly after all these years? Grandma is using this to manipulate us, so that we can't help my little sister to seek justice. Let us give them something, we only have those ten eggs left in our house, and we gave them all to the old house, so that the little girl can't even eat a bite of eggs."

Speaking of eggs, Tao Hechen thought he hadn't seen the old hen in the yard, so he asked, "Mom, where is our chicken?"

Duan sighed: "Abducted by your uncle!"

"What!" Tao Hechen's eyes widened, and he turned his head and was about to leave.

"Ah Chen, what are you going to do?" Duan hurriedly grabbed Tao Hechen's arm.

Tao Hechen said angrily, "I'll go get the chicken back, there's no such thing as a bully!"

"You can't go, you don't want to be famous?" Duan grabbed Tao Hechen's arm tightly, for fear that he would rush to the old house.

"Mother, the old house is deliberately bullying people, didn't you see clearly?"

Duan said sadly: "So what if you see it clearly, it's your grandma after all, don't you want to disobey the old man?"

Tao Hechen also knew Duan's temperament, although he was extremely angry, he could only suppress his thoughts, sighed and said: "Forget it, mother, don't mention those bad things, look, what I brought back."

With that said, Tao Hechen lifted the top layer of leaves from the bamboo basket, and took out a package of things wrapped in big leaves from inside.

"What is it?" Duan asked, looking at the leaf bag in Tao Hechen's hand.

Tao Hechen opened the leaf bag, revealing five or six round wild eggs.

Duan's heart was overjoyed when he saw it: "Ah, it's wild eggs."

"That's right." Tao Hechen said with a smile: "I was lucky today. I came across a pheasant nest with several wild eggs in it, and I picked them all up. It was just for my little sister to replenish her body. She was injured and had a miscarriage yesterday. So much blood, if you don’t eat something good, you won’t be able to make up for it.”

After finishing speaking, Tao Hechen took out two palm-sized fish from the bamboo basket: "Mother, this is a fish caught in that stream on the mountain, and I can make fish soup for my little sister. "

"Hey, Ah Chen, it's useless for me to be a mother." Seeing the wild eggs and fish brought back by Tao Hechen, and thinking that the only ten eggs in the family were sent to the old house, and his daughter was so seriously injured But she can only drink wild vegetable porridge, Duan feels guilty in her heart.

"Mother." Seeing this, Tao Hechen persuaded: "Don't think too much, let's make egg custard for the little girl first, she has been in a coma for so long, she hasn't eaten much yet."

"Hey, good." Mrs. Duan hurriedly set the pot on fire, while making egg custard, looked at Tao Hechen and said with some hesitation: "Ah Chen, your grandma asked Erya to come over today to give you a message."

"Erya is here?" Hearing Duan's words, Tao Hechen frowned: "What is she doing here, there must be nothing good?"

Tao Hechen didn't like this cousin very much. He usually bullied his younger sister the most. She was taciturn and kept silent when she was bullied.

Duan pursed her lips: "Your grandma asked Erya to tell you that the pension money will increase to five taels a year, let me go to the old house tomorrow, and your grandma will invite the clan elders and village chiefs to be witnesses." , to redefine the separation documents."

"Why! The old-age silver of two taels a year was already the only one in the village. How come the milk is not enough? Five taels a year?" Tao Hechen was so surprised that he raised his voice: " Mother, you agreed?"

"When will we be able to refute what your grandma decided? Besides, your father is gone, and we should be more filial to your grandma on your behalf. It's just that five taels of silver this year... If Really re-signed the separation document, our family really can't get it out, what should we do." Duan said with a sigh.

"Mother!" Tao Hechen said helplessly, "It's true that you want to be filial to grandma, but you have to have a limit. Is it possible that grandma will let our family die, and we will listen to grandma?"

"Isn't your grandma... No... Anyway, you and your little sister are also his grandson and granddaughter." Duan said with some concern.

"Grandson? Granddaughter? I wonder if grandma treats us as grandsons and granddaughters. What's the difference between five taels of pension money this year and letting us die?" Tao Hechen said angrily: " In our village, two taels of silver a year is enough for a big family to chew for half a year. Now it is five taels a year. This is the big family who let our family go to the old people's house? Raise them, and then our mother Pierce the neck and starve to death?"

"But...but we can't refute your grandma's words, and I'm afraid the clan elders and village chiefs won't be on our side." Duan felt bitter in her heart: "You also know that your uncle passed the exam. The scholar, the patriarch and the village head all point to your uncle being able to pass the exam, so that you can honor your ancestors, why are you facing us?"

At this time, the egg custard was steamed, Duan hurriedly brought out the egg custard, and said: "I'll bring the egg custard to your little sister first, let's talk about this matter later."

Tao Hechen sighed in his heart. He actually knew that both the patriarch and the village head were going to the old house to change the family separation documents. Even if they disagreed, it would be useless.

The arms can't twist the thighs!

But if... If he could have fame, mother and younger sister wouldn't be bullied like this!
Tao Hechen clenched his fists, then let go of his hands helplessly. He had no money to study, so what would he use to gain fame?
"Then I'll go back to the house and change my clothes first, and I'll go see my little sister later." Tao Hechen looked at his clothes. After staying on the mountain for half a day, he walked through the forest and crossed the river, and got a lot of dust on his body. Smell of sweat all over her body, seeing my little sister like this, I'm afraid it will smoke her, my little sister likes to be clean the most.

"Okay." Duan nodded, and went to Qianlian's room with egg custard.

Qian Lian was lying on the bed, looking at the dilapidated roof thoughtfully. She heard what Duan Shi and Tao Hechen said in the kitchen just now.

I was really annoyed at Duan's forbearance and concession, but now that she has just arrived, and her body looks like this, even if she wants to help out, she is powerless. Can't deal with those people in the old house, oh, and the patriarch and village head.

Just now, Qianlian sorted out the memory of this body again, and she also has some understanding of the money in this world. It turns out that one tael of silver is ten dong, and one liang of money is one hundred copper plates. The villagers in the village have had a hard time. Usually, five liang of silver is enough for a year's work, even if a man goes out to work as a coolie, he can only get a dozen copper coins a day.

According to the memory of this body, there are three copper plates per liter of rice, and one copper plate can buy two eggs. If you look at it this way, five taels of silver can really support the family in the house. After all, it is the Taiping period, and there is no In the chaos of war, food and vegetables can be self-sufficient, that is, spending money and copper coins, that is, cloth, silk and medical treatment.

But speaking of it, the price of seeing a doctor is really high. It costs a lot of money just to see a doctor, not to mention taking medicine. Just deal with it.

Qian Lian touched the wound on her forehead, feeling a little apprehensive, won't she lose her appearance?What if there is a scar?She doesn't want to live with an ugly scar.

Qian Lian has always loved beauty. Although she was only a half-transformed form in her previous life, she also knew that she was definitely a great beauty.

I just don't know how this body looks like now, if it is ordinary, with a scar on it, and thinking about it, Qian Lian feels that life is hopeless.
