Reborn as a village girl in ancient times

Chapter 9 Injured
"Second brother, is the stone mill you asked about ready? We have already harvested all the wheat, so if there is a heavy rain, this year's work will be for nothing." Grandma began to ask my father to borrow a stone mill.

"If it weren't for that damned old widow who charged such a high price for using her stone mill, I wouldn't have quarreled with her last year. The third child is still twenty coins this year. You have to make it clear, no matter how much you pay me It’s gone.” Grandma looked at my father and said angrily.

"The eldest son of that old widow has a good relationship with you. You can talk about it. We will use it in a while."

"Hey." My dull old man responded.

I don’t even think that one mu of land is two cents. It’s very cheap for our family to charge 35 cents for our twenty acres of land.Because my superb grandma hurt the old woman.Let my dad go this year, doesn't that mean we will pay too much money?

My father is an honest man.Seeing that my father listened to my mother's words and went to borrow a stone mill, I don't know what difficulties I will encounter. Although I have a good relationship with the second son of the seventh grandma's family, but my grandma can't stop me from making trouble.

I went with my father, fearing that he might not be able to handle it and would be scolded when he came back.

Seeing Grandma Seven's family pressing wheat from a distance, my father stood there and asked, "Aunt Seven, how many people still need to use your stone mill, can our family be ranked?"

"Hey, the second child is here, yes, but my aunt will have to wait a while, we have only landed half of our thirteen acres of land."

Seventh Grandma didn't embarrass my father at all, she probably knew that she did, and my father would be scolded when he went back.Grandma Seven died of her wife very early, and the widow took two sons to make a living. Finally, the eldest son got married, but the eldest son also died of illness seven years ago, leaving behind a younger grandson, Brother Qi (7 years old). I received a lot of money. At that time, the second son was still young and the family had no strong labor force. Life was hard and the eldest daughter-in-law ran away with others. Now the second son is only 15 years old.

Hearing this, my father went over to pull the stone mill with Uncle Chang Geng (the second son of the seventh grandma).

"The second child is not good. Everyone is very hard during the busy farming season. Chang Geng can do it alone." Grandma Seven hurriedly pulled my father.

"Seventh aunt, what are you talking about? If Changsheng is still alive, he will definitely agree to my work, and you will treat it as my own selfishness. My family can start after your family is done." My father said stupidly.

"Second, if your mother sees it, she will..." Grandma Seven hesitated and said.

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter if she sees it."

"Second, it's all thanks to you these past few years, otherwise we, orphans and widows, don't know what to do." Grandma choked up a little while talking.

"Auntie, don't think so much. Now that the second child is grown up, you can wait and enjoy the blessings at ease." My father said comfortingly.

It turns out that my father has been helping Grandma Seven's house pull the mill. Last year, my grandma saw that our family had sent manpower to help with the work. He wanted to give him [-] yuan. Although Grandma Seven agreed, but my grandma's mouth is so cheap. He behaved well and made the two old people fight.Grandma Seven's family has a lot of land but no strong labor force. The harvest in the past few years has not been very good. My father doesn't want to take advantage of Momo's affairs, and my father and Uncle Changsheng have been good friends since childhood.

Afraid that grandma might be in a hurry to do something again, dad asked me to go back and tell grandma, I have a number in the queue, and I will be here in a while, now I can spread the wheat on the wheat field to dry.

Hearing this, grandma opened her voice and began to curse again: "My second child is heartless, our family is also busy with farming, what's the matter with helping a widow, why don't you feel sorry for me if I'm his mother? Helping that old widow work, I'm so mad." While cursing my father and shouting, we began to spread the wheat on the field.

Grandpa frowned and sat next to him smoking a dry pipe without saying a word, letting grandma scold him.I don't know if grandpa is a strict wife or something. Every time grandma goes crazy, he never says a word. Does he also support grandma's approach?

Stretching and pressing wheat is hard work, and the younger siblings are still young, and grandma didn't let them do the work this time, but asked the helper to keep the birds from eating the wheat.

Everyone was spreading and turning the wheat all morning, hoping to dry it out a bit and make it cleaner after pressing the wheat. Everyone didn't rest all morning.After lunch, everyone rested in the shade.

"This second child is real. He is still working there and doesn't know how to come back. Old man, you don't talk about your good son, and you don't pull the mill over when it's time. Is it numbered?" Grandma complained.

Grandpa was still smoking the pipe, as if he hadn't heard it.

Seeing that grandpa was so angry, grandma couldn't help yelling: "The second child's family, you go and see, why it has been so long, look at the sun is so big, the second child is still pulling the millstone for others, our family will have to do it in a while, he has to Save some strength for yourself." Seeing that my mother has a good temper, I went to her first to shoot.

"Mother, it must not be healed yet, or he must have brought the stone mill over, or don't wait any longer." My mother said timidly.

"If you tell you to go, go, you lazy woman, go and see when your man has passed the stone mill and don't go, will I, an old woman, just not move you?" Angry, my grandma slapped my mother Two soles are on the body.

"Mom, don't be angry, I'll go right away." My mother didn't struggle after being beaten, so she stood up and went to the wheat field of Grandma Seven's house over there to see how long it would take.

My mother has been away for a long time and hasn't come back. My brother and I are very anxious to wait. Even if it takes a while, my mother should come back and report a letter first, otherwise grandma will curse again.

The few of us turned over the wheat again, and we heard my mother's cry from a distance: "It's not good, father and mother are not good, the second child was hit by a stone mill and hurt his leg." Mother's cry was also heard. ear tips.

My brother and I were stunned for a moment and then hurried towards Grandma Seven's wheat field. How could this happen? Isn't it just grinding? How could we be crushed? What should we do now?

When I arrived at the scene, I saw that the stone mill was stained with blood, and my father's legs were also covered with blood, and his legs were swollen. God, this situation is scary to watch.

The grandma yelled: "You old widow, why did such a thing happen when my son worked for you? I know that if you get close to your house, you will suffer the bad luck of you, a broom star. You can kill your husband, kill you!" Eldest son, you're still here to harm my son, don't you think my family is okay with you?" Grandma angrily went up to Grandma Seven to argue.

Fearing that they would fight, the people around who had heard my father's injury pulled my grandma to persuade her.

"His aunt, now that the second child is injured, hurry up and invite a doctor over, otherwise it seems that the second child's condition is not very good..."
