Mrs. Xu Zhang was cursing, and it was raining heavily outside.

Xu Laoer was lying inside the house, paying no attention to what was going on outside.

The children in the second room were sitting under the eaves and in the walkway, staring at the rain in the yard in a daze, while listening to Mrs. Xu Zhang's curses.

Neither Yao nor Luo dared to make a sound, and each retreated into the room.

Xu Jiaojiao was studying in the house. She also felt that Yuan Chunhua's perseverance was extraordinary. She looked weak and thin, but her vitality was super tenacious and her physical resistance was very good. She could not starve to death, freeze, or get sick. She was a person who survived adversity.

His ability to survive is really not comparable to that of ordinary people.

As for who sent the food to Yuan Chunhua in the middle of the night... she could probably guess a little bit.

Definitely not Yao.

Mrs. Xu Zhang was staring at this rain, wondering if Yuan Chunhua could survive it.

If Yuan Chunhua had such perseverance and determination, it would be great if she could have cut off all contact with the old Yuan family long ago.

pity.

***

It was a dark night and heavy rain fell.

The old Yuan family.

The whole family was shivering in the main room.

The thatched roof on the roof, which had not been renovated for a long time and looked black, sprinkled some rainwater from time to time, making several women and children wet.

But they didn't move because the leakage was worse in other houses.

The main room is larger, and there are places where rainwater cannot reach it, but those are the places where the old Yuan and the men of the old Yuan family stay.

Yuan Qiang said, "Father, mother, the attitude of the old Xu family is very strong. It is said that they are determined not to let Chunhua go back, and they have ignored it for several days. I don't know if Chunhua can survive such a heavy rain."

Go over there!"

Mrs. Yuan was also a little worried, "Yes, Chunhua is poor. She was almost buried alive at Lao Jiang's house, but we rescued her. When she went back to Lao Xu's house, they didn't want her. Poor child, in

She has been squatting there for several days, with no food or sleep. Even the children chased her away. It rained so hard. She won't get sick! Old man, how about we go and bring Chunhua back...

…”

The old leader said coldly, "Do you need to worry about this? Life or death depends on fate! What's the use of taking her back? The Jiang family has already ruined her reputation and said she was a cheat. How can she be sold at a good price? Stay here.

The family is freeloading? Are you going to support her for the rest of her life? Can you afford it?"

Mrs. Yuan, Yuan Qiang and others stopped talking.

The old Yuantou said again, "You don't have to worry. You haven't starved to death for several days. Of course there are people to feed you. Chunhua's life is very hard. In Lao Jiang's house, she has suffered so much torture without getting sick. Just take a shower

What's wrong with the rain? If she really can't stand it anymore, then she deserves it in this life, and we can't worry about her. Besides, we have persisted for so many days, wouldn't it be a waste to go and pick her up? We are planning

After so much has been accomplished, how can all her previous efforts be wasted? Either she will die in Xujiacun, or she will return to old Xu's family. These are the only two paths she can take in her life."

"Ahem, Dad, you are right. If a woman doesn't even want her own children, then her life is meaningless."

Mrs. Yuan let out a long sigh and said, "Sigh, my poor Chunhua! It's all Xu Zhang's old and evil moth. Our Chunhua just admits her mistake and doesn't want to do it. She is still looking for someone to marry Xu Lao Er.

, why is she so ungrateful? No matter how wrong we Chunhua is, we still gave birth to four well-behaved, smart and good-looking children for the old Xu family. If there are boys, there will be boys, and if there are girls, there will be girls..."

"Yes, the old Xu family has done evil. If our Chunhua dies on their doorstep, we will never let them go!"

Everyone else in the Lao Yuan family thinks it makes sense.

Only Wu showed sympathy.

She hugged her two daughters tightly, her body was soaked, and there was only bitterness and numbness in her eyes.

***

It rained heavily.

In the middle of the night, Yuan Chunhua huddled on the back of the concave slope, trying to avoid the wind and rain to make herself feel better.

Even though it was summer, it was still bone-chilling with such a heavy wind and rain.

She was shivering from the cold, hugging her knees and burying her head in the middle of her knees. The hair on her head was tangled in strands. Rainwater flowed down from her head. The cold wind blew by, making her tremble.

Darkness, storm, hunger, cold, like ferocious beasts, were about to devour her.

Yuan Chunhua was so cold that she almost lost consciousness. Suddenly, she felt the rain on her head stopped.

The wind was also blocked by some thin figure.

Yuan Chunhua raised her head with difficulty. It was dark and windy and hazy, and she couldn't see the figures clearly.

I saw that little figure throwing a large coarse cloth umbrella on her body.

Then, without making a sound, he turned around and ran away.

Yuan Chunhua's eyes were blurred with tears. She finally saw people. Every night when she was sleeping, someone would throw food at her without paying attention. She could not see people.

Today, the wind and rain prevented her from sleeping, so she saw the person who helped her.

It's a child!

A small and frail figure!

Yuan Chunhua started to cry in the wind and rain.

***

The next morning, Erya got up, washed herself, picked up the basket, and prepared to go into the mountains to collect pigweed.

Every morning, people in Lao Xu's family have tasks assigned to them.

Xu Jiaojiao has to exercise early in the morning. Luo Shi and Yao Shi prepare breakfast for the family. Erya, Sanya and the boys first do something when they get up. They go to the mountains or fields to collect pig grass and feed the pigs.

.

Feeding pigs is the most important thing in Lao Xu's family on weekdays. Breakfast is usually served in Lao Xu's family after the pigs are finished.

After breakfast, if Xu Jiaojiao is free, she will teach them simple words and simple counting.

"Xiaoshan, Xiaoshan, get up, hurry up..." Erya called her several times.

Xiaoshiro on the kang can't afford the kang.

Usually, at this time, only Xu Laoer in the whole family is still lying on the kang...

There is another Koshiro today!

Because it rained all night yesterday, it would be more difficult to go out to hunt pigweed today, so Mrs. Xu Zhang asked all of them to go hunt pigweed.

People can not be full, but pigs cannot be full!

Erya called several times when he went back to the room, but Shiro still only answered twice in a daze. He was still on the bed and did not move.

Because Shiro is young, it is normal for children to sleep in. In the past, when Yuan Chunhua was here, Xiao Shiro would occasionally sleep in. As long as he was not afraid of being scolded by Xu Zhang, Erya and the others could help cover up and so on.

Gotta get through.

"Xiaoshan, get up quickly. Nai said that after the heavy rain today, it will be difficult to fight pigweed. Let us all go. Go early. It will be bad if we are robbed by other people's children. It will be late in a while. Nai will curse again.
