The story of the struggle of the poor girl who crossed

Chapter 30
The eldest aunt looked at the ragged uncle, then at Mai Xiang and Huashi who were dressed in shabby clothes, and immediately said very cheerfully: "Very well, I'll go and call the patriarch and Li Zheng, and we'll separate them today. , nothing more to do with it!"

These days, no matter where she went, people in the village mocked her, calling her a shameless lover.She has had enough of this kind of life!

Mai Xiang also saw the mockery in the aunt's eyes.

This time when we came to Mushroom Village, she and my mother deliberately didn't wear new clothes.Because the journey was too long and we had to go through many barren mountains and mountains, and considering the safety on the road, I wore a suit of old clothes with several patches.In the eyes of the eldest aunt, it is taken for granted that Mai Xiang's family is still extremely poor.

The patriarch, Li Zheng, and several patriarchs were quickly called by the eldest aunt.Without much saliva, according to the wishes of my uncle, which is actually the wish of the two families of the uncle and the second uncle, a family separation contract was established: From this day on, the three brothers of the uncle will completely separate from each other, and there will be no relationship between them from now on, no matter whether they are poor or rich. , are irrelevant.The father and mother live and eat with the elders, and the second and fifth children give their parents one or two silver coins every year as pension expenses.

Hua Yangfan got the separation contract, carefully folded it, and put it in his close-fitting pocket.Mai Xiang immediately handed over a tael of silver: "Little uncle, I will lend you a tael of silver, so you can give me this year's pension! The old patriarch and Li Zheng testify that in this year, the eldest aunt will not Mess around and ask for pension money from my little uncle!"

"Thank you, my uncle has money, and I will return it to you as soon as possible!" Hua Yangfan was stunned for a moment, then took the money with a smile, and passed it to the old patriarch: "Master, please help me to see if it is enough for a couple of dollars money!"

The old patriarch held it in his hand and looked at it carefully: "Enough, this is exactly one or two silver coins, just a little more!" While saying that, he gave it to Mai Xiang's grandfather: "You put it away, and you must not say it in the future. The fifth child in the family didn't give you enough pension!"

Mai Xiang said to Hua Yangfan: "Little uncle, your legs are bad and it's freezing cold, it's really not appropriate to live in the mountains! Why don't you go to Liangjia'ao with us and plan after this winter! "

Hua Yangfan was a little hesitant: "Isn't that good? You don't live well. If I go, I will definitely cause you trouble."

Fahrenheit quickly said: "It doesn't matter, we separated and built a new house. If you go, you can share a house with Ban Xia, and there won't be any trouble."

Mai Xiang looked at the little uncle sincerely: "Yes, little uncle, you can go with us! It is much more convenient to go to the county town from Liangjia'ao, and then go to the big medical clinic to take a good look at your The leg, maybe it can be cured!"

After saying this, Hua Yangfan's heart was moved, and he finally nodded: "Okay, then I won't bother you!"

The grandma took the hand of the little uncle, wiped her tears and said, "Fifth, don't blame your parents, there is nothing you can do about it." If you don't please the eldest and second, can you still count on the lame fifth to provide for them in the future? ?
Hua Yangfan's face was ugly, and he forced a smile: "I won't blame you, who made me a cripple!" He was very sad in his heart.Such parents really chilled him, but he couldn't say anything about them.

At this moment, the atmosphere is a little weird.Mai Xiang quickly said: "Little uncle, let's go quickly, it's freezing cold." Such a grandma really disappointed her.Originally, when she came this time, she also prepared money, and planned to give five taels of silver to grandma and grandfather.However, with the appearance of the second elder, she was unwilling to pay a single copper coin.

Saying goodbye to everyone, at Mai Xiang's suggestion, the three of them went to Mu Mu's house again.Seeing them, Mu Mu's grandfather and his family were very happy, and quickly greeted them warmly: "Hurry up and get in the house, it's freezing cold."

Mai Xiang quickly waved her hand: "Grandpa, we are here to borrow an ox cart. We want to take my uncle back to Liangjiaao. My uncle's legs and feet are not convenient. We want to ask Uncle Big Niu to take us in an ox cart." One ride!"

Grandpa Mumu hurriedly said: "Are you going to leave now? That's right. If you don't leave, it will be dark when you return to Liangjia'ao. That's okay, let your uncle Da Niu give you a ride! Wait a moment In a moment, I will let you big cow uncles go to the bullock cart!"

When he came, Mai Xiang took a look. It was about ten miles away from Mushroom Village, and it was possible to take a bullock cart.

A group of people got on the bullock cart, first went to the wooden house where the little uncle lived, and packed their belongings.Daniel waited at the foot of the mountain, guarding the cart.

When we got to the mountain, Hua Yangfan said to Hua: "Sister San, these quilts, iron pots and chopsticks are all lent to me by Da Niu's family. Please San Jie to clean up, and I will ask Brother Da Niu to take them home later. .”

After finishing speaking, he took a hoe and went to dig under a big tree behind the house.Mai Xiang followed curiously: "Little uncle, we are leaving now, what are you doing?"

Hua Yangfan lowered his voice and said with a smile: "Dig the silver, my uncle buried a lot of silver underneath!" While talking, he also jumped vigorously.

Mai Xiang was both surprised and delighted: "Uncle, are your legs good?" Not only that, but he might also be a rich man.

Hua Yangfan raised the corners of his lips, smiled happily, and said in a low voice, "Well, my uncle's leg was injured, but it's healed now! Besides, my uncle is not poor, he has hundreds of taels of silver."

"Wow, that's great!" Mai Xiang couldn't help cheering, feeling happy for her little uncle.

Hua Yangfan: "Don't tell your mother yet, your mother can't hide things in her heart, I'm worried that she will accidentally say it out. After we bid farewell to your uncle, I will tell your mother again!"

Mai Xiang nodded vigorously: "Yes, I see."

Daniel kept sending the two of them to the three-way intersection. The only place where the bullock cart could pass was the road to the left.The other two roads are narrow mountain roads, and the road to Liangjiaao is the one on the right.

Mai Xiang left half of the blue cloth and half of the blue cloth on the bullock cart, and said to Daniel, "Uncle Daniel, this blue cloth is for your family, and this blue cloth Please help my aunt to make a piece of clothing for my grandma and grandpa. Don’t give the cloth directly to grandma, I’m worried that my first aunt and second aunt will snatch it away, and grandma and grandpa won’t even get a piece of cloth.”

Daniel quickly declined: "All this cloth will be used to make clothes for your grandparents, we don't want it!"

Fahrenheit hurriedly said: "Brother Big Niu, this is the child's wish, and thank you for taking care of Yang Fan. Don't take it too lightly, just accept it!"

Daniel stretched out his hand and scratched his head, and said with a simple and honest smile, "Okay then, I'll accept it, thank you!"

Mai Xiang took out another two taels of silver: "Uncle Da Niu, please help my grandma keep the money. If grandma and grandpa are sick, and the uncle and second uncle are unwilling to give up the money to see a doctor for grandma and grandpa, please return it to me." Uncle Niu please help me to ask the doctor."

"Okay, I'll take it!" This time, Daniel was very straightforward, not worried about getting himself into trouble at all.

Watching the back of Daniel going away, Mai Xiang couldn't help admiring: "There are still many good people in this world!"

Fahrenheit couldn't help tears in his eyes: "In fact, there are not many people like your uncle and uncle in Mushroom Village. Most of them are good."

Hua Yangfan looked at his niece, his eyes flashed with admiration.

If his feeling is correct, his little niece will definitely have great fortune in the future.

When Daniel walked away, Mai Xiang said, "Mother, little uncle, let's set off!"

Hua Yangfan laughed loudly and said, "Okay!" As he said, he strode forward.

Fahrenheit was stunned: "Yangfan, you, your leg, is your leg okay?"

Hua Yangfan: "Yes, third sister. This leg was originally injured, but it was healed half a year ago! Otherwise, how can it be easy to travel with a lame leg from the northwest to here for thousands of miles? Besides, I am not a A penniless person, I have hundreds of taels of silver!"

Fahrenheit was taken aback: "Fifth brother, why are you doing this? If you don't pretend to be lame or poor, how can your parents and elder brother and second brother not let you in? If you don't, why would you Living hard in the barren mountains?"

Hua Yangfan shook his head and sighed deeply: "Third sister, you are wrong! If I don't pretend to be lame or poor, how would I know that my parents, elder brother and second brother would treat me like this? You are so heartless, so ruthless! Don't say give me a little property, and you won't even let me in!"

Fahrenheit couldn't help being tongue-tied: "That's, it's all because of poverty..." Halfway through, she couldn't continue.No matter how poor you are, you can't be so cruel to your relatives.

Hua Yangfan: "Third Sister, if I didn't pretend to be lame or poor, but returned to my hometown in good clothes, my parents, eldest brother and second brother would naturally greet me with smiles. However, if this is the case, they will treat me sincerely. Is it? Inevitably, they will try their best to please me for my money. However, if one day I become poor again, if I really become crippled, they will still treat me like this!"

Speaking of this, a stern light flashed in Hua Yangfan's eyes: "Such a brother, don't mind!" As for his parents, after all, they gave birth to him, and he will naturally pay child support and medical expenses in the future.

Fahrenheit sighed for a long time: "Oh, what you said is true. The elder brother and the second elder brother will not talk about it, and the parents treat you like this, it is really unacceptable! Fifth brother, why don't you go to Liang's house Ao Luohu, right? You also know some martial arts, and being a hunter is not bad.”

Hua Yangfan: "Before I came back, I already planned to go to the county government to be a fast catcher!"

Fahrenheit: "That's not easy, is it? Anyone have an introduction?"

Hua Yangfan: "Well, someone wrote me a letter of introduction, so there should be no problem."

Fahrenheit couldn't help but be filled with joy: "That's good, it's much better than hunting!" The fast catchers in the county government are said to have a lot of salary.

Hua Yangfan: "I'm planning to buy a small house in the county seat. When spring comes next year, Pinellia can also go to a school in the county seat. The school in the county seat is much better than the school in the village!"

Fahrenheit quickly waved his hand: "No, the school in the county government is very expensive. My Pinellia family is not that good at studying. After two years of schooling in the village, knowing a few words is enough!"

Mai Xiang hurriedly interjected: "Mother, who said that Banxia is not suitable for studying? The master in the village said that Banxia is very diligent and progresses very quickly. It is not a big problem to be a scholar!"

"What kind of scholar is it? I didn't agree to it!" Fahrenheit still felt that people with fame and fame would most likely have no conscience.

Hua Yangfan frowned when he heard that, and gave his third sister a dissatisfied look: "Third sister, how can you do this? Do you love money? If so, I'll just come out!"
