Chapter 19 Brothers Are Not Like Brothers, Mothers Are Not Like Mothers

"Don't worry, Xiaoxue, she's not paralyzed." Wu Chongwen's voice was a little weak, but his expression was calm, "Please boil me a pot of hot water and soak it, it will be fine."

"It's okay to boil hot water, but you have to tell me what's going on." Xiao Ningxue's eyes were full of worry.

"It's nothing, it's just that I was frozen at night. My legs...at this moment, it's as if they were frozen in ice, and I can't move."

Xiao Ningxue quickly picked up Wu Chongwen's trouser legs, stroking his long legs with her small hands, and shouted at first, "Hey, it's as cold as ice, could it be possible to soak it in hot water? melted?"

"Well, that's about it."

Wu Chongwen's voice was hoarse, his throat was a little dry, and his legs couldn't move, but it didn't mean he was unconscious. The girl's small hands touched his legs without any scruples, which made his heart feel hot for no reason, and his face turned red immediately up.

Xiao Ningxue didn't notice the change in Wu Chongwen's expression at all, put down his legs and stood up.

"It's good if you can recover, I'll boil water right now."

I also secretly breathed a sigh of relief, as long as I am not paralyzed, otherwise the reward will not be easy to earn!After all, everyone is paralyzed, so you still have the nerve to ask for a reward?
Maybe he has to find a way to send him home, he has so many enemies, this is not a good business!

Xiao Ningxue left the room thinking wildly, and at the door of the kitchen, she met Xiao Shan coming out with a bowl of porridge and a bowl of noodles.

The porridge is lean meat porridge, sprinkled with chopped green onions, thick and delicious.

In the noodle bowl lay a poached egg. When Xiaoshan came back from the county, he chopped up two catties of meat and bought a few catties of eggs to make up for his daughter.

Seeing Xiao Ningxue and Xiao Shan, he smiled and asked, "Is that kid awake?"

"woke up."

"Then he must be hungry, you feed him porridge."

"Hey, Dad, I'll go and boil a pot of hot water to soak his feet."

"You girl, you are so kind to her before you get married..." Xiao Shan laughed, and put the food plate in Xiao Ningxue's hand, "You feed him porridge, dad boils water, yes, You eat the noodles first, and then feed him when you are full."

Looking at the bowl of fragrant egg noodles, Xiao Ningxue was very moved.

"Father, you haven't had breakfast either, so you can eat this bowl of noodles."

"Look at you child, what kind of food does daddy have to eat in the yamen? Hurry up and eat it while it's hot."

Xiao Ningxue couldn't help but entered the room with a plate of food.

Wu Chongwen was hit by a sword in his chest, so he could only raise his head slightly and feed him porridge little by little.

After finishing a bowl of porridge, both of them were sweating profusely.

"Xiaoxue, thank you." After Wu Chongwen finished speaking weakly, he fell into a deep sleep.

Xiao Ningxue was also very hungry, so she picked up the noodle bowl and started to eat.

A simple bowl of noodles, but delicious as never before!
It feels good to have a father's love!
After she finished eating the noodles, Xiao Shan's water was also boiled, and she brought it in steaming hot.

"This kid, are you asleep?"

"Yeah." Xiao Ningxue took the bucket, grabbed the towel that was set aside and dipped it into the water.

"How do you soak your feet while you're asleep?" Xiao Shan wondered, he really didn't know how badly Wu Chongwen was hurt, and he also believed his daughter's words, thinking that he was just scratched by a black blind man.

"No soaking, his legs can't move, I'll apply hot water to him!"

As Xiao Ningxue said, she bent down, twisted the towel until it was half dry, and carefully applied it to Wu Chongwen's leg.

"Can't move? This boy's legs are paralyzed, right?" The more he looked at this boy, the more he was satisfied, but don't be paralyzed. His daughter can't marry a paralyzed man no matter how worried she is.

"No paralysis, no paralysis, just a little bit of cold, just apply it and it will be fine."

"That's good." Xiao Shan let out a long sigh of relief, "Then you take good care of him, Dad will go out for a while."

After exhorting, Xiao Shan left the room.

He came back this time for no other reason, one is to get back the 100 taels of silver that was taken away by his second brother Xiao Hong, the yamen has sentenced her to death, the girl Mengyao was murdered by Zhang Xiucai, so the money should not be paid.

The second is to remind the family to prepare more food. The price of rice, flour, grain and oil in the grain shop is rising a little bit. If you don’t buy more and prepare it, it will definitely become more expensive in a while.

Food is the most important thing for the people, and only when they are prepared can they sleep peacefully.

Coincidentally, as soon as Xiao Shan walked to the gate of the new house, Mrs. Xiao came out with her fat body twisted and her face full of smiles.

"Eldest son, you are back, have you had breakfast yet?"

"I just ate, mother." Xiao Shan replied, his expression and tone full of respect.

He has been an apprentice with his master since he was seven years old, and he travels around all year round. He attaches great importance to family and family ties, otherwise he would not use all the money he earns to support his family.

Therefore, no matter how lacking in old lady Xiao's virtue, Xiao Shan was filial and tolerant towards her.

Seeing that Xiao Shan's hands were empty, Mrs. Xiao suppressed her unhappiness, and said with a cruel smile:
"Why did you just eat it? I just wanted to go over and ask you and girl Xue to come over and eat."

In the past, when he came back from the county, he either weighed the meat or carried the eggs. This time, it seemed that all the good things he bought belonged to that lowly girl Xiao Ningxue.

No, she can't take advantage of her, so go over and bring over the meat and eggs, and if you want to eat, you have to eat with your youngest son's family!
"Mother, why are you not in the old house? Didn't you live and eat with Xue girl?"

When Xiao Shan saw Mrs. Xiao coming out of the new house, he guessed, so he asked a question.

The old lady Xiao wiped her fat face, and said angrily: "Don't mention it, Xue girl didn't come back last night, but I was so worried. Xiao Haiguilan and I searched for her all night, and she came back here. Bar?"

How did she know whether Xiao Ningxue returned last night or not? She heard what the villagers said this morning.

"I'm back, she went to the county to look for me." Xiao Shan replied.

"Then why don't you say anything to the family? I have to teach her a few words, and I can't stay out at night again in the future."

As the old lady Xiao said, she went to the old house, and Xiao Shan hurriedly caught up with her.

"Mother, girl Xue is fine, but I have something to tell you."

"what's up?"

"There's a drought, so I need to buy some food and store it."

"Then you buy it and tell me why."

"Mother, it's not that you don't know that the 100 taels of dowry money I saved for Xue girl has been paid to Xiao Hong, right? Now I have no money in my hand."

"If you don't have money, how can you stockpile food? You can't sell your mother, right?"

Xiao Shan had a helpless face, "Mother, do I keep some of the money I brought back? You first put it out to buy grain, and now the price of grain is one a day, and it will probably become more expensive in the future..."

Before Xiao Shan finished speaking, Mrs. Xiao interrupted with the corner of her mouth pulled.

"Elder son, can't you see that the new house has been built at home? All the money you gave me as a filial piety has been put in it, and there is no penny in Mother's hand."

Xindao, both of you, father and daughter, have been separated from the family, and it has nothing to do with them starving to death without food.

Even if her money is used to stockpile food, it has nothing to do with their father and daughter, it belongs to Xiao Hong and Xiao Hai.

Xiao Shan shook his head and smiled wryly, he really didn't expect that he had been a gangster for decades, with a monthly salary of four taels of silver, but in the end he ended up penniless.

Old Madam Xiao's pupils were narrowed, and the eyeballs were rolling around.

"Boy, since the situation is so urgent, why don't you hurry up and borrow money to buy food? Don't let mother starve with you."

"By the way, the eldest son is filial. Every time he comes back, he will chop meat and buy eggs for his mother. Today, he will also buy one, right? Carry the new house and go to the family to be lively."

Xiao Shan is honest and honest, but it doesn't mean he is stupid.

He started to take money from home at the age of seven, and has collected at least 1000 taels of silver for decades. This is money that the whole family cannot earn in several lifetimes.

Although the new house is one of the best repaired, it can cost 50 taels of silver, and the mother actually said that there is no penny left, will he believe it?
Xiao Shan looked at Mrs. Xiao with disappointment in his eyes.

Brothers are not like brothers, and mothers are not like mothers. Is this the family relationship he has maintained for decades?
Seeing that Xiao Shan didn't speak, Mrs. Xiao went to the old house, shaking her fat arms.

Xiao Shan was a step slower, and when he rushed to the courtyard, he saw Mrs. Xiao coming out with a piece of pork in her left hand and a basket of eggs in her right hand, smiling all over her face.

"Mother and your nephews and nieces haven't seen the smell of meat for a long time, this room can be considered to be able to replenish the body."

The day before, she also killed an old hen, and the whole family ate it until its belly was round, and she didn't blush or heart beat when she told this nonsense.

"I'll ask Guilan to boil the meat and fry the eggs, and have a good meal at noon."

After saying that, Teng Teng walked out of the courtyard with his big fat legs, unexpectedly his left hand was empty, the meat was taken away by Xiao Shan, and then the basket in his right hand was also taken away by Xiao Shan.

Xiao Shan put the meat and eggs on the table in the courtyard, and said coldly: "Xue girl's husband was scratched by Xiong Xiazi, this meat and eggs have to be saved for his health, so we won't go to get together."

"What, what?" Mrs. Xiao was taken aback by these words, and after a while she raised her eyebrows and rounded her eyes, "You said Xue girl has a husband? Why didn't I know about this?"

Xiao Shan said indifferently: "Mother is getting old, you don't need to worry about the grandchildren's marriage. I appointed Xue girl's husband and brought him back. Maybe she can be her son-in-law. suitable."

He used to think that his mother was greedy for money, but today he realized that his mother's thoughts might not be that simple.

If she treats his son like this, how will she treat girl Xue?Maybe there will be a famine, lack of food and clothing, and it is possible to sell the snow girl!

Even so, it's better to let Xue girl marry that kid.

In his whole life, he had seen more dead people than living people, but he fell in love with this kid immediately.

Besides, for a child as smart as Xueyatou, since she likes that kid so much, she must be right, he believes in his daughter's vision.

Xiao Shan had a good idea, but Mrs. Xiao refused to let Xiao Ningxue's fat go, she beat her chest and said:

"Hey, big boy, that's a bad thing. I've already accepted my natal nephew's 50 taels of silver as a dowry, and betrothed Xue girl to him."

In front of Xiao Shan, Mrs. Xiao was either lying or coaxing, telling the truth about things that were clearly not true.

"Which nephew of your natal family?" Xiao Shan asked incredulously.

Mrs. Xiao took out her handkerchief and wiped her fat face.

"Which one else could it be? Sheng Dayong, the one who came to our house yesterday afternoon to propose, I also want to take advantage of the family dinner at noon and talk to you when it's lively."

Sheng Dayong is indeed the nephew of Mrs. Xiao's natal family, and he did come to propose marriage yesterday afternoon, but he was talking about Xiao Yue, otherwise the Xiao family would not have sent someone to bring Xiao Yue back from the town.

Later, the dowry was not negotiated, and the marriage was not settled.

This box is quite suitable for fooling Xiao Shan, after all, the Xiao family has raised this lowly girl for so many years, and married her without getting any benefits, it is impossible for such a cheap thing to happen.

Fearing that Xiao Shan would not believe it, Mrs. Xiao added, "When Dayong came, he hired the ox cart of the village chief's family. Who in the village doesn't know?"
