Chapter 2 Little Buster

  Yu Changhe's hand, which was leaning on the wooden stick, tightened again and again. He wanted to open his mouth to say something, but he swallowed the words again.

  Old Madam Yu said again, "After the separation, you have to take care of the famine you owed yourself.

   Then, just give me and your father another 50 Wen pension money every month. After all, since you became lame, we have raised your family of three for several months in vain. "

Mrs. Sun couldn't stand watching, and said, "Mother, you have to speak with your conscience, what do you mean by raising us for nothing for a few months, Changhe can't do heavy work anymore, but I don't do less work at home and outside the house." .

In the past, when Changhe was a government servant in the town, the monthly money of two taels of silver was handed over to you. Now the division of the family neither gives land nor money, which is too unfair to us. ? "

Seeing that Mrs. Sun dared to quarrel with her, Mrs. Yu immediately said with a cold face, "Didn't I give you the wasteland in the southwest corner? As for the high-quality land, it's useless to give you. He can't plant the land with a cripple. After losing you, won't it end up in the hands of your natal brothers?"

   Mrs. Sun was so annoyed by the old lady Yu's words, it seems that the Yu family really didn't plan to have Yu Changhe as a son.

Sun was so angry that he could not speak, Yu Changhe stepped forward and grabbed his daughter-in-law's wrist, and looked at the old lady Yu, "Since you dislike me as a burden and drag this family down, you can also separate the family if you want, but you have to find the village chief , Let him divide the family, I will not say anything about how the old man divides it."

  Old Mrs. Yu said, "Why are you looking for him? I know how many things and how much land there is in this house. I just divide it up."

  Yu Changhe said coldly, "If the village chief doesn't come, I don't care about this family!"

  After hearing what his second son said, Father Yu, who had been squatting at the bottom of the wall smoking a pipe, knocked the pipe and pot on the earthen wall, knocked off the ashes, and got up, "I'll go to the village chief."

After Father Yu left, Yu Changfu walked up to Yu Changhe thoughtfully, first sighed, then patted Yu Changhe on the shoulder, and said earnestly, "Second brother, you are too stupid to keep that Little Nemesis, you said that Brother Kuang died within two years since you picked her up, and now your leg is also crippled, and our parent Yu didn't pass the exam for a scholar, and now we are breaking up with our parents because of her Now, these are all her faults!"

  Yu Changhe took Yu Changfu's hand off his shoulder expressionlessly, "This has nothing to do with Lian'er."

  Old man Yu quickly found the village head, and under the auspices of the village head, Yu Changhe was officially separated.

  Different from before, he distributed an extra mu of high-quality land, 500 Wen, 200 catties of rice, 50 catties of sorghum rice, and a bag of cornmeal.

   As for the place where they live, the three of them still live in the original house.

  Granny Yu also gave Yu Changhe some bowls and farm tools, but they were all the most broken ones.

As for the kitchen, Mrs. Yu asked Yu Changhe to build a stove in the backyard by himself, and allowed them to temporarily borrow the original kitchen for a period of time before it was built. The things that Sun wants to go to the town to buy by himself, and they are not allowed to borrow them.

  Yu Changhe asked Mrs. Sun to take the belongings into the house. Mrs. Sun carried the things and looked at Yu Xiaolian with tears in his eyes.

  There was complaints in those eyes, and Yu Xiaolian could see it clearly.

  When Yu Changhe picked Yu Xiaolian back, he was still working as a government servant in the town, earning two taels of silver a month, so when Yu Changhe wanted to adopt Yu Xiaolian, the whole Yu family didn't object much.

  But when Yu Xiaolian was two years old, Yu Zikuang, the son of Yu Changhe and Sun, died of a high fever and convulsions due to illness.

  Because Yu Xiaolian's eyes were one-third gray, the villagers regarded them as ominous.

  Later, some people in the village began to spread rumors, saying that Yu Xiaolianke had killed Yu Changhe's own son.

  Mr. Sun didn't pay much attention to these rumors at first, and was as good to Yu Xiaolian as ever.

   Later, as these rumors became more and more common, Sun also began to feel sorry for Yu Xiaolian in his heart, but Sun only treated her coldly and violently, and never beat her.

  A few months ago, Yu Changhe offended Pan Jinrong, the young master of the town's bully Pan's family, and Pan Jinrong sent someone to break a leg.

  Since then, Yu Changhe lost his job and limped a leg. The Yu family suddenly became struggling, and the Sun family became more and more displeased with Yu Xiaolian.

  For so many years, Sun has not been pregnant again, and the villagers also said that it was Yu Xiaolian's fault, and said that it would be good to send Yu Xiaolian away.

  Alas, in this village, Yu Xiaolian is a little nemesis that everyone fears.

   Mrs. Sun carefully stacked the several bags of grain distributed in a corner of the room, and padded the bottom with wooden boards to prevent the rice from getting damp.

  Yu Changhe came into the room carrying a bunch of copper coins.

  The 500 Wen that was supposed to be distributed to them, but the old lady Yu only gave them 450 Wen, and the old lady directly withheld the 500 Wen pension money for the next month in advance.

  Yu Changhe handed the copper coin strung with a string to Mrs. Sun, "Put it away!"

Mrs. Sun took the string of copper coins with tears in her eyes, "I didn't expect my mother to be so unfeeling. Obviously, the whole family used to rely on you to support them. Now that you are crippled and can't make money, we divided our family. .”

  Yu Changhe didn't respond to Sun's words, but stretched out his hand to ask Yu Xiaolian to go over, and then reached out to touch Yu Xiaolian's forehead. Seeing that she no longer had a high fever, he smiled, but the smile didn't reach his eyes.

  Yu Xiaolian's mood at this time is extremely complicated, because she knows that the fate of everyone in the Yu family, including herself, is extremely tragic.

  Yu Changhe looked at Sun, "It's almost noon, can you get Xiao Lian something to eat?"

   Mrs. Sun paused to pack up her things, "Mum, they are using the kitchen, wait a minute!"

  Yu Xiaolian tentatively asked, "Father, can I go out to play?"

  Yu Changhe glanced at Yu Xiaolian, "You've been having a high fever for the past few days, and you've managed to get over it with difficulty. You can't go out to enjoy the wind yet. Be good, let's play indoors!"

  Yu Xiaolian frowned and refused to let her go out. How could she have a chance to find that sorceress.

  She was afraid that if the delay was too long, she would never be able to return to the original world.

  Yu Changhe carried Yu Xiaolian to the kang, and put the bamboo basket on the wooden box on Yu Xiaolian's lap, "First, eat some wild fruits to cushion your stomach."

Although Yu Xiaolian was ten years old at this time, she was very thin and looked much younger than children of the same age. She glanced at the bamboo basket Yu Changhe handed her, and there were a few wild mountain apricots and A few wild pears.

  Yu Xiaolian just took a look at these wild fruits, and her mouth was already sour, but Yu Changhe was staring at her at this time, so she had to bite the bullet and took a bite of the hard pear.

  To Yu Xiaolian's surprise, this pear is not only not sour, but also has a hint of sweetness, but it has little flesh, too much hard residue, and the taste is not good.

  Yu Xiaolian only took one bite, and didn't want to take a second bite. For some reason, she feels full at this time, and thinking that she may live in this world forever, she feels sad and depressed, and she is not in the mood to eat at all.

   "I'm going out to ask my elder brother to help build a stove in the backyard." Yu Changhe lifted the door curtain and dragged his lame leg, and walked out.

   Mrs. Sun carried half a bag of rice on her back, glanced at Yu Xiaolian, "I'll go to the east of the village to grind rice, don't run around by yourself at home."

  Yu Xiaolian nodded, she could see from Sun's expression that Sun didn't like her.
