Chapter 369 Regret on Borrowing Food

"Sister, what do you mean?"

"If the second brother comes to borrow it, you are willing to do it. If I come to borrow it, you have a family. Why, am I, the eldest brother, so worthless?"

Perhaps because he felt that what he said was too harsh, Qiu Yu's eldest brother couldn't help but soften his temper. Before going out, his family had repeatedly warned him that forcing himself on the family card was not enough.

If you are tough, confront Qiu Yu, and argue with her for food, there is a high probability that you will not be able to borrow the food. But if you are soft, you have a good chance, because Qiu Yu has already lent food to the second child.

"Sister, you know the situation in my family. There are fifteen people in our family. It has been almost nine months since last autumn harvest and the food was distributed. Since May this year, the family has been We’ve run out of food.”

"This adult can survive by eating messy things like wild vegetables and tree bark, but this kid can't!"

"Your eldest nephew's third child is just over a year old now. Your sister-in-law usually picks out his poop. This child's skinny bones are now protruding. He still misses you as my great aunt!"

"Brother also knows that you have your difficulties, but isn't it because there is a baby at home? If I didn't have a baby at home, even if my eldest brother starved to death, he would not come to your door to make things difficult for you."

When it comes to the emotional part, I burst into tears, and tears and runny nose flow out all at once.

It’s also sad!I don’t dare to touch the dozens of kilograms of grain left at home. I have been eating wild vegetables and grass roots for a month. Such a god damn thing, I don’t even give them a chance to survive!
The sun is hanging in the sky, making people's eyes hurt. I don't know how long it will have to hang before it rains. The rice in the field is at the time of grouting. If there is no water, what will hang in the end will be nothing more than an empty shell. , there is definitely no food, and this year's harvest will be completely in vain.

The soybeans and peanuts that can be harvested immediately from the fields don’t look very neat.

The pods were flat, and there were a lot of bugs inside. When I opened ten pods, three of them had bugs inside, and almost all the beans inside were eaten.

There are not many peanuts, which is far behind compared to Chen Hui Village. After all, they have a reservoir here.

If water is released from this reservoir, Chen Hui Village will be the first to benefit. They will definitely soak all their fields before releasing water downstream. This is the fundamental reason for the yield gap.

Sister-in-law Qiu Yu hesitated: "Brother, you also know that my family has a bad temper. If he really finds out that I borrowed your food again, he will definitely beat me."

"There are about ten people in my family. If I really borrow food from you again, I won't be able to explain it to my two daughters-in-law! They will definitely rebel."

After all, she is not the only one who has a natal family. The daughter-in-law here also has a natal family. If she sends grain to her natal family, her daughter-in-law will also make a fuss and send it to her natal family.

At that time, the hearts of this family will be scattered.

Her mind has not yet been clouded by the rhetoric of her parents-in-law, but it will soon. After all, she doesn't borrow it, not because she doesn't want to borrow it, but because she is afraid of being beaten if she borrows it, and she is afraid that the two daughters-in-law will cause trouble. From her heart's desire, She is willing to lend food to her mother's family.

Precisely because he saw this, her eldest brother knelt directly in front of this soft-hearted sister. A man can bend and stretch, so this is nothing.

Thinking of the starving children and grandchildren at home, his knees suddenly softened: "Brother, kneel down for you. Please, this child really can't survive without food."

"Brother, what are you doing? Get up, get up! You can't do it." Sister-in-law Qiu Yu panicked immediately, she couldn't do it. "If you don't get up, I won't get up if you don't promise me."

"Brother, don't do this."

"I can't help it, sister, just be the big brother and I'll be selfish for once!"

The people who were sitting at the entrance of the village picking peanuts were in a mixed mood when they saw Qiu Yu's eldest brother happily carrying a bag away. Unexpectedly, Qiu Yu's sister was so unstable that her eldest brother suddenly succeeded.

This matter is definitely not over yet. If her third brother and younger sister find out, these two families will definitely come to make trouble. No matter how much food the family has, they can't stand it!

Many people see their own reflections in Aunt Qiu Yu. After all, these days, it’s not just Aunt Qiu Yu’s mother’s family who has people visiting, they are also the same. Some have borrowed and some haven’t. Aunt Qiu is just one of them. Just a miniature.

After a while, Mrs. Qiu Yu recovered her mood and went to work again at the entrance of the village. She was still sitting in the same place as before, that is, next to Bai Yanzi.

As soon as she sat down, she took a handful of peanut vines and hadn't even started picking them yet!The next door started lecturing her.

"Sister-in-law Qiu Yu, I'm not telling you, you are too soft-hearted. As soon as the eldest brother of your mother's family told you that life at home was difficult, you became soft-hearted. If your man found out, you borrowed dozens of kilograms of grain and returned it. I won’t beat you to death.”

"No matter how nice your mother's family is, the person you are living with now is also your current man. He will take care of you until the end of your life. The person who breaks pots and bowls is also your son and grandson. You have to think about them!"

"This kind of thing can't be done in one or two ways. What time is it now? There's no reason to lend food to others. Why don't you understand!"

The food today is completely different from the food in the past. Although it is still the same food, it represents a different meaning.

Almost all the grain that can be distributed this year has been distributed. Now the grain that Qiu Yu has loaned out will definitely not be recovered this year or even before next summer's harvest. It is still unknown what will happen during this period of time. .

It's nice to borrow food now. If she regrets it in the future, her children and grandchildren will also be unlucky to have a woman who can't carry enough food.

As soon as Bai Yanzi's mouth stopped, some good people next to him began to agree: "That's right, what he said makes sense."

"Qiu Yu! My sister-in-law didn't blame you. You did something wrong indeed."

Sister-in-law Qiu Yu's face was full of embarrassment. She didn't know this truth, but that was her eldest brother and her second brother. Her eldest brother even knelt down for her. If she didn't agree to this, who would she become.

The people living in Chen Hui Village were her men and children, and the people living in her natal family were her brothers from the same mother. The palms and backs of her hands were full of flesh. At that time, when she saw her eldest brother, she knelt down anxiously. When her heart softened, she The food was lent out.

It’s not like she doesn’t regret it now. When her man comes back, she still doesn’t know how to explain it to him!
Seeing that Mrs. Qiu Yu didn't speak, the others gradually became bored. After talking for a while with some strange words, they changed the topic and talked about something else.
