Chapter 61 I'm glad you're back
Fan Erzhu got angry, pointed at Bai Ziqian and cursed: "Do you know whose food you eat? Be careful and I'll beat you to death when I get home!"
"Heizi, come here quickly. You are my servant, so you should stand in my house." Fan Dazhu clasped his hands behind his back, frowned, and shouted to Bai Ziqian who was beside Hu Shuiqing.
Sun Jinhua stared at the white jade in Shui Qing's hand, God, how much money does this cost?
I'm afraid there are several taels, right?
She swallowed, then with a sullen face, she asked Shang Shuiqing: "Is this jade pendant from Lao Er's family Heizi's?
Then you should give it back to him. How can you, an adult, ask for something that belongs to a child? Besides, Heizi eats and drinks at my house, we are the ones raising him, and all his things should be kept by me! "
Shui Qing didn't like this sister-in-law at all. She was surprised by the young man's help and the information revealed in his words. After hearing Sun Jinhua's words, she raised a smile on her lips and asked, "Oh? Your family signed a contract with Heizi Got a contract of betrayal?
How much money did you give for selling yourself? "
Sun Jinhua was stunned. Do you still want to sign a contract of sale? Pay for selling yourself?
She frowned so hard that she could kill a fly, and said unnaturally: "It's not easy to take care of food and drink these days. Why do you need to pay for selling yourself? Those are all tricks used by rich people to deceive others!"
Shui Qing was made to laugh.
Selling oneself is not cheating, but giving money is cheating? Her sister-in-law is really motivated by her own interests, and she can say shameless things.
"Jinhua, when you wanted to sell your two nieces, you didn't say that it was a trick used by wealthy people to deceive others."
"You didn't sign a deed of prostitution, but you were given food to eat. Aren't you just a helper? And you beat people? Beating them to death? It's so majestic."
"In our village, the old village head's family can't even support his servants, but her family still supports her servants, so let's feed ourselves first!"
"Why don't we serve others? It's better if we don't serve others ourselves."
As soon as the last words were spoken, everyone present except Sun Jinhua's family laughed.
Yes, Shanshui Village is located in a remote area, with not much fertile farmland and mostly barren mountains and wasteland. There are few opportunities to go out to work as part-time workers. In the past, when people were poor, many people sold their children to become heirs to wealthy families.
Fan's mother sold her land, and her family has even been reduced to eating black noodles like theirs. They can't even bear to eat corn noodles. They have only had enough food for a few years, and they still have children?
"Jinhua, although the situation has been good in recent years and the grain harvest has been good, you should also save more grain. How can you rely on the sky to make good things every year?
It's always good to save more food. If there is a disaster, you don't have to sell your children and you won't starve to death.
The four eldest sons of your family, the more than ten acres of land in your family, plus the three eldest of you, can be fully cultivated, so don't raise any children. "Grandma Xu persuaded her earnestly.
Sun Jinhua's face turned red from everyone's laughter. After hearing Granny Xu's words, she choked and said, "Hey, don't give people opinions based on your age.
My family has 18 acres of fertile land, but too much wasteland. Is this a disaster year? In a bad year, even if you all starve to death, my family will be fine! "
With his mother's support, Fan Dazhu immediately came to life, "You don't care whether our family can support our servants or not, you don't!"
"What happened in the year of disaster? Even in the year of disaster, God will give us some harvest. At worst, we won't be able to sell food, and our lives will be worse.
Besides, aren’t there government offices? The official still expects us population to be our political achievements, how can we let us starve to death! "Fan Erzhu hummed.
The old people around who had experienced the famine years were silent.
It doesn't matter if the Erzhu guys are young and have no experience, but it doesn't matter if they don't fear God.
In a famine year, it is better to have a harvest, but it is definitely not enough to eat! There are so many people in the family, and it’s hard to see who is being fed, and watching the food decrease day by day.
Are you still counting on Mr. Guan? Natural disasters are terrible, but the man-made disasters that followed are even more chilling. Relief food cannot reach the hands of ordinary people at all...
Fan’s mother had experienced years of famine and knew how terrible it was. She shouted to her eldest grandchildren: “Okay, okay, don’t talk nonsense!
Bah bah bah, say something bad but not good and good! "
Dazhu and Erzhu didn't listen to what her mother said and acted accordingly, and Fan's mother didn't really blame Jin Sunsun.
The weather has been good for several years, not to mention a bumper harvest, but there has also been no reduction in production. It is impossible for the harvest to be bad next year.
Fan's mother only said to Shang Shuiqing: "The second brother's family, please give the jade pendant to Heizi so that we can take him home."
Originally, she had hoped that if the second eldest brother was exposed and the eldest brother took over the business, she would be able to follow the popular trend and drink spicy food.
The business was ruined, and she didn't like the addition of Heizi as a diner, but for the sake of the jade pendant, she was willing to take Heizi back.
Bai Ziqian tugged on Shui Qing's sleeves and asked softly: "Aunt Shui Qing, I want to stay at your home, are you still willing to accept me?"
He knew that Aunt Shui Qing was in charge of Uncle Fan's house, and anything Uncle Fan agreed to was useless, only Aunt Shui Qing agreed.
Shui Qing smiled and said: "Okay, there are still many holes in the back mountain that have not been dug. If you are willing to dig them, you can stay."
Bai Ziqian's eyes immediately lit up, his face full of joy, "Okay! I'm willing to dig a hole!"
Digging holes is good, and you can also exercise. Digging big, round holes and planting fruit trees gives you a sense of accomplishment.
Seeing that the matter was finalized, Shui Qing turned to Fan's mother and said, "Heizi said he is willing to stay at my house. Please come back."
Sun Jinhua immediately became unhappy and was about to curse when Shui Qing said first, "It's not like you signed a deed of prostitution and got money for selling yourself. You're just in charge of the food. Why don't you work in the house that takes care of the food?"
Sun Jinhua held in her breath and couldn't come out. She pointed at Bai Ziqian and left with the words "unconscious white-eyed wolf" and left.
Fan Damu's family slipped away quietly when Zhao Fugui left. Now that Heizi's matter was finalized, Fan Qian and others also left in despair.
Seeing that the matter was resolved, the people who came to help out of fear that Shui Qing would suffer a loss said hello and left quickly - they still wanted to pick mushrooms!
After Bai Ziqian came back, it had only been a few days, but he felt as if he had been away from another world.
"Aunt Shuiqing, Uncle Fan, thank you" for being willing to accept him.
Shui Qing's idea was very simple. Heizi didn't consider this a betrayal. They saved him and he gave him a jade pendant to repay the kindness.
He ate and drank at their house, and he also worked.
He thought the outside was good and wanted to have a try outside, so he went. When he found out that the outside was not good and wanted to come back, he did not force them to accept it, but did them a favor.
Oh, by the way, it seems that the black one is not the black one, but the white one.
But that doesn't matter, the most important thing is: "It's good that you're back, go dig a hole in the back mountain!"
Digging holes is very tiring, especially after it rains. When you step on the yellow mud, you will get mud on your legs. It is no exaggeration to say that even your hair can be stained with mud.
Fan Jin smiled gently and didn't mention anything about what happened before. He only said happily: "It's good to be back."
Bai Ziqian burst into tears immediately. He was more excited to return to the thatched house than to the high-walled compound of the Bai family.
