Rebirth Farmhouse

Chapter 165

Mrs. Zhang doesn't treat her as her granddaughter, she is even inferior to the cats and dogs at home, and she is even used to exchange money with Zhou's family. Why does she have to obey Mrs. Zhang's words? Is she a lack of heart or a masochist?
The third aunt smiled furiously: "Hey, big brother, Yaoyao is the head of your family now? You talk so scary, what do you mean we don't care? Our mother is the head of the family, and the money is all with mother, mother said We have no money, we don't even have the money to hire a donkey cart, how can we hire a doctor?"

Qin Ergui told them not to quarrel, "It's better to take Dad to the county in a donkey cart first, so that you don't need to invite a doctor to come over, and you don't have to pay for the consultation fee. It will definitely be much cheaper."

Qin Dafu also nodded eagerly as if he had found a way to resolve the conflict: "Yes, yes, Er Xian, hurry up and tell Xiao Fei."

Soon Liu Fei drove over with a donkey cart, and it was getting dark, and she wanted to toss the lanterns again. Mrs. Zhang asked Xiuqin to go home to light the lanterns, and ordered people to carry Old Qin's head, and told whoever was at home.

She glanced at Mrs. Liu, and shouted: "Boss, you still have a great career. If we go to the county, we can bring enough money for the road and food. Don't leave us starving."

Qin Ergui hurriedly said: "Mother, let's just bring our own dry food."

Mrs. Zhang yelled at him: "Shut up." She just wanted the big house to take a look. Even if the family is separated, she is still the mother-in-law and the master of the family. If she dares to leave her behind to make money with others, if she dares not to honor her after making money , she let them know that it is no good to offend her.

She just wants to take back Dafang's right to be the head of the family with open fire and make Liu's obedient. Anyway, now that Dafang has land and money, if Liu's divorce is returned to her natal family, Dafu can find a better one.You have sons and daughters, so what are you worrying about?Isn't there a daughter-in-law who serves her in-laws, men and children?If she doesn't want to serve, let her go!Anyway, Mrs. Zhang understood that it was impossible for the Liu family's money to be spent by her Qin family.

Mrs. Liu knew that Mrs. Zhang was targeting her, so she ignored her. Gu Zi went home, and Xiuyao immediately followed.

As soon as he got home, Qin Dafu also followed, coming home to get the money.Mrs. Liu ignored him and told the daughters to cook and eat quickly. They were very tired after a busy day.

Qin Dafu smiled at Mrs. Liu, but the smile contained a complaint, "Daughter-in-law, take some money and go to the county. If there is a tip on the way, I will go to the county to see the doctor tomorrow, and I will pay for the medicine."

Liu Shi glanced at him, "Where does our family have any money now?"

Qin Dafu just accompanied him carefully: "There is still some, we didn't spend much."

Mrs. Liu sneered: "It's not much money, it's because his grandma's family didn't want it, so we didn't have the cheek to give it to you. I saved it for Daye and told Daye that I personally gave Xiuqin a dowry. You can't just take it away from me. You can take it if you want Okay, let's settle everything, what did you say when we separated?"

Qin Dafu couldn't laugh anymore, he said awkwardly: "Isn't one size for one size? Now things are urgent, and the illness can't delay, so let's talk about the emergency first, and then come back and count the money."

Come back to count?How about fooling the second idiot, with his nanny's character, you have to put whatever you bring with her, and then you won't get a single coin back, so you still count with her?She still thinks you have taken less.

Mrs. Liu refused coldly: "Don't say I'm stingy, and don't say I'm not filial. When we separated, we agreed that the elderly care should be raised by the three families together, not our family's business. Back then, when the family didn't have enough food, we were taken care of. Drive out, give so many scoops of grain, the gap between the teeth is not enough, and now let us go to the emergency? When we separated, there was no food, who came to the emergency?"

Qin Dafu also lost face, although he knew that his parents were not very upright, but he was a son, so he couldn't blame his parents.Besides, if his parents raised him, he should be given to his parents.

He felt that Mrs. Liu had always been sensible, generous and not stingy. He didn't expect that at a critical moment, her father was waiting to save her life.
Feeling disappointed in his heart, he sadly said: "I know, I'm not capable, I'm sorry you guys. It's not like everything has been caught up, and there's nothing we can do about it, we can't just ignore it."

Seeing the disappointed look in his eyes, Liu Shi couldn't help feeling sad, but she still didn't want to give in, she said lightly: "If we pay, it's fine, you and Daye and Yaoyao go, others can't follow, the money will be given to you." Yaoyao takes it."

Qin Dafu saw that she didn't trust her parents so much, and seemed to guard her mother as a beast, and felt even more uncomfortable, nodded, and said weakly: "OK."

Mrs. Liu went to get three hundred coins and handed them to Xiuyao in a money bag, saying: "This is three hundred coins, save some money."

Qin Dafu hurriedly asked: "Is three hundred enough?"

Mrs. Liu snorted sarcastically, "In the past, when the family didn't even have a hundred coins, thirty was a big deal. Why is three hundred not enough now? Did you give three when we separated?"

Qin Dafu stopped talking and told Xiuyao to leave quickly, don't delay for too long Grandpa's illness is not curable.

Seeing Qin Dafu go out, Mrs. Liu gave Xiuyao a small pouch with two pieces of silver in it, and asked her to keep it quietly, lest she really didn't have enough.

Xiuyao put away her purse to reassure her mother, Xiuqin packed dry food again, boiled eggs at noon, and a small jar of pickles, and put them in small scorpions.

Xiuyao hurriedly chased after her father, and Liu asked Xiuxian to put the quilt on the donkey cart, so that Xiuyao and the others didn't have a quilt to keep out the cold. Not a single hair will be pulled out.

Seeing that Mrs. Zhang refused to let her go, she wanted to make trouble again, Xiuyao immediately said firmly: "Nurse, my mother said that if you go, she won't pay."

Mrs. Zhang stopped arguing as soon as she heard it, "Don't be reluctant to spend money on your grandpa."

Xiuyao ignored her, got into the car, covered with a quilt, Qin Dafu also went up with a lantern, Qin Ye drove the car, and a group of people set out on the road at night.Xiuyao saw that Old Qin was unconscious with his eyes closed, but he was breathing evenly, so it wasn't a big deal.

From Taoyuan Village to the county, it takes about forty miles. In fact, it is enough to take a donkey cart in the middle of the night, but Qin Dafu was in a hurry to see his father sick, and Mrs. Zhang was crying and howling. Yes, he was so flustered that he wished he could go to the county right away.Didn't think of anything else at all.

At the beginning of the month, the moon hung low in the western sky, and it went down after a while. The wind was blowing gently, which was a little cool.

The donkey cart squeaked along, no one said a word, Qin Dafu shone a lantern on Old Qintou from time to time, seeing that he seemed to be asleep, he breathed a sigh of relief.It was only now that I went to see Xiuyao, seeing her tense little face and unhappy expression, I couldn't help but feel a little guilty.The little girl usually smiles, is very kind to everyone, and rarely turns red with anger.But when it came to the matter of the nanny's family, she seemed very excited and angry, and she didn't want to get involved at all.

He sighed: "Yaoyao, do you still hate your mother?"

Xiuyao didn't make a sound, Qin Dafu sighed, "Your mother regrets it too. Isn't it because grandpa is sick, there's nothing you can do about it."

Xiuyao raised her eyebrows, and said sarcastically: "I know, if my grandfather is sick, there is nothing to say about spending money on medical treatment. It shouldn't be like this. It's like kicking us out when the family is separated. When something happens later, it's just Sapo forced us recklessly, is that right?"

Qin Dafu wanted to teach his daughter, but he was not that kind of serious person. If it wasn't because his father was seriously ill, he wouldn't blush with his wife and children. He was a little too anxious just now.

Thinking of how Liu Shi treated his parents, he felt uncomfortable, but thinking of the disappointed look in her eyes, he felt guilty and made her sad.

He said helplessly: "Yaoyao, don't hate your nanny, it is your nanny after all, we are a family."

Xiuyao couldn't help it: "I don't know if she treats me as a family." Normally, she would definitely not say it, and she would hide her hatred in her heart so that no one would know.In the end, this old woman was too hateful, she even played tricks to force my father, a dutiful son, to submit.

Not to mention ancient men, modern men are generally the most obedient to their mothers, especially the boss, who is even more filial.Dad loves his wife and spoils his children. It's okay to say that he is capable, but he is also filial.Once there is a conflict in these areas, his first reaction may be filial piety, and the relationship between husband and wife and father and son may fall behind.

But she didn't want to compare herself with his parents, and she didn't even hope that her mother would want to compare, but she felt that her father shouldn't just accept it like this, and what the nanny said was whatever she wanted.

If they hadn't made money selling gloves and lucky beans, and with the help of grandma and auntie, let alone the three hundred dollars, I'm afraid there would be a lot of money owed outside.Dad didn't think about it, so he took it out to Mammy as a matter of course, without thinking or judging at all.

Qin Dafu still wanted to persuade Xiuyao, but Xiuyao suddenly said impatiently: "Father, I know what you are going to say, so don't persuade me. I know what you are saying, but I just can't pass that threshold. Because I am Girls don't want to see me, think I'm a waste of food, and wish I had died. Now that we've separated, and I'm trying to make money by myself, I don't eat or drink from her anymore, so why should she tell me what to do?"

Qin Dafu sighed: "Yaoyao, she is your mother."

Xiuyao sneered, "Just because she is my nanny, she has absolute control over me? Can she control my life and death at will? If there is a famine, will she have to sell me for food? Besides It's not good, if it's really a catastrophe year, will she still trade me for someone else to eat?"

It's not that there is no such thing as changing children to eat, and there are many places like Shandong that have experienced nine droughts in ten years.Speaking of it, Xiuyao really finds it difficult to understand Yizi and Shishi. It is just four words, which seem very light, but when you think about it carefully, it is really bloody and selfish. Human nature is dirty and selfish. For the sake of her own survival, she does not care about her own children. I didn't dare to eat my own child, so I exchanged it with others.Could it be that they can live with peace of mind if they survive by eating their own children?
too disgusting!

Every time she thinks about it, she suspects that Mrs. Zhang is such a person. If it is the kind of year of continuous famine and thousands of miles of terracotta, she might be the one who will be eaten in exchange! !Why does she still have no grudges against Mrs. Zhang, because she is a nanny and forgives without principle?

I will never forgive you in this life!Even if she is paranoid and holds grudges, even if she has a small stomach, anyway, even if she still earns money to support Mrs. Zhang, she will never let Mrs. Zhang have the opportunity to be her own family and decide her own life and death. !
Originally the family was separated, but she felt that each had her own way of life, and her grievances towards Mrs. Zhang faded away, and she worked hard to live a good life, so she just didn't think about the mess in the past.She didn't care at all about giving money to Mrs. Zhang. What she cared about was that they worked together to plot, forced mother and father to submit, and then took control of the housekeeper of the big house, and then intervened in the children's affairs.

From instigating the little sheep to the second brother, and then to the marriage of the eldest brother and the eldest sister, if the mother didn't feel sorry for her, she might have been sent to the Zhou family.

If Mrs. Zhang is allowed to intervene in the affairs of the family and become the eldest family's family, then she will never be free again for her eldest brother's marriage and her affairs, so Xiuyao absolutely does not allow it.

Qin Dafu wanted to say something, even wanted to use his father's airs to teach Xiuyao a lesson, but he has never done that, he has always been a good guy, he also smiles at children, and now he doesn't know what to say.

Maybe he didn't approve of his mother's actions in his heart, but she was a mother, and her innate filial piety and education made him unable to criticize her behind her back.

Xiuyao looked up at the eldest brother in front of her. Qin Dafu was fiddling with the lantern, but no one noticed that old Qin moved his head.

It was still midnight when they arrived outside the city, so they had to wait outside the city. Fortunately, they brought dry food and soup, so they could make ends meet.

Qin Ye said to Qin Dafu and Xiuyao: "Father, you and your little sister should sleep together." There were two extra quilts on the car, just to cover them up and take a rest.

Xiuyao was young and couldn't bear it anymore, she was already too sleepy, she hugged the quilt and fell asleep leaning against the carriage.She didn't know how long she had slept, but there were noises all around her, as well as the calls of animals. She opened her eyes and saw that it was almost dawn.Apart from them, some other people came from outside the city, those driving carts and carts, probably the nearby villagers who came to the city to catch the morning market.

When the sky was getting dark, at five quarters of Yin time, the morning bell was rung, the sound was clear and melodious, and could be heard clearly outside the city.The gates of the city were opened, and the guards pulled away the horses and began to allow people to pass.

Because I am a resident of this county, I don’t need to carry identity documents and other things with me when I go out of the city. If there is no abnormality, the guards generally don’t ask. The name will work.

This was Xiuyao's first time entering the county town. The city walls were tall and thick, and it seemed like a short tunnel. Passing through the doorway felt chilly, which showed the thickness of the city walls.The way they entered the city was the main north-south road of the county seat. The road was paved with blue stones, and the donkey cart walked on it, bumping and bumping.

Xiuyao felt that everything was new, so she turned her head and looked around. The nearby vendors and villagers who came to catch the morning market also filed in. Some were selling vegetables, some were selling chicken and duck, some were selling fish, and even rice noodles. have.

The people who do business on the street are basically men, and there are also old women with veils on their heads, but there are very few young women.

From the moment you enter the city gate, past the gatehouses of the guards, you will find all kinds of shops, with many signs and neat shops.Daily necessities, rice flour, grain and oil, oil mills, mills, wine shops, tea shops, dim sum shops, masons, blacksmiths, bamboo craftsmen, jewelry shops, rouge and gouache shops... there are all kinds of industries.

Xiuyao was dazzled by the sight, most of the shops were closed at this time, only the early morning shops were open, and there were also tea shops for the villagers who came to catch the morning market to rest, and the others were closed.

Qin Ye inquired about the location of the Banhangzi Medical Clinic. It was at the intersection of the North and South Streets and the East and West Streets, and he could see it at a glance.After a while, they arrived at the door of the hospital. At this time, the door was closed, and only the lantern under the porch was still burning.

Qin Ye stepped forward to call for the door, and after a while a little doctor boy came to answer the door, and reprimanded him, "Knock for nothing, come back later."

Qin Ye hurriedly said: "Brother, my grandfather is seriously ill. We came all the way from the countryside. Please give us a hand."

The little doctor boy said impatiently: "The doctor hasn't come yet, so it's useless for you to come in." He was about to close the door.

Seeing this, Xiuyao immediately stepped forward, took out five coins and handed them over, "It's troublesome."

Seeing this, the little doctor boy smiled, "You're still a sensible little girl." He opened the door and asked them to drive the car to the backyard and carry the patient to the front consultation room.

Qin Ye asked Xiuyao to lead the donkey, and he and Qin Dafu carried Old Qin's head down to the consultation room, then came back to unload the cart and tied the donkey to the stable.Xiuyao said to the little doctor boy: "I'll give you another five dollars to help us feed the animals. We came out in a hurry, and we didn't bring any fodder."

The little doctor boy said: "Give me ten."

Qin Ye frowned, five was a lot, usually two or three would be enough, but he actually wanted ten.But this is a county, so the prices are naturally not as good as those in the countryside, and they have to look at people, so there is nothing they can do about it.

Xiuyao gave him the money, and the little drug boy happily went to fetch grass and mix materials to feed them to the donkeys.

Xiuyao and her eldest brother went to the front consultation room to wait, and the little doctor boy generously gave them a pot of water without asking for money.

After a while, another person came to the door to see a doctor and get medicine. After waiting for two hours, the doctor hadn't come yet.Everyone was in a hurry, and some people groaned in pain and asked anxiously why the doctor hadn't come yet.

The little doctor boy said unhappily: "The doctor is also a human being, he also has to sleep and eat. If you are impatient, go to another house."

Someone muttered a few words of dissatisfaction, and the little doctor boy was even more unhappy, and walked away beating.

After another half day, when it was almost noon, Xiuyao saw an old man swaying over, with a long robe and long sleeves, fluttering freely, with a very fairy-like posture.

Everyone cheered and stood up, "Sun Langzhong, Sun Langzhong...."
