Chapter 14:Past Events

"Xiao is my child."

“Your child?She did not come out of your belly, but you raised only a white-eyed wolf, your brother's child, who was your nephew, and you did not see you cost them more than half a cent."

"Mother, the break is what you said, but also you disliked my Xiao family poor, and now I give Ah Zhen's dowry is a hard-earned, should give her."

"I am not here to quarrel with you," said the old woman, with an impatience; "give me ten pieces of silver, for your brother has recently lost some business."

"What?“Sin and two?”Aunt Xiao couldn’t believe her mother, so she couldn’t say a word, and she said, “I, where did I get 12 silver coins?”

"How can it not be?"I think you can give that Xiao Zhen dowry more than 12 silver?”When she saw her daughter looking at herself with a blue face, the old woman grunted coldly, "Not two, eight, but the other two, and the other two, before the year."

Aunt Xiao gritted her teeth: “No, not one or two.”When I married into the Xiao family, my mother took all my private money, including the bride price given by the Xiao family, and did not give me a single point.Now, how does my mother ask me again?”

“Ask not to ask who you want?Your brother is in trouble, and you should even sell your land.”

The old woman had just fallen, and a small chair fell out of the house, broke together, and Uncle Xiao came out with an iron face.

Aunt Xiao and the old woman were startled by the sound of the chair falling out, and when the old woman saw Uncle Xiao, her frightened face was replaced with a scorn: "Ooo, who am I?"“Long enough, dare you throw a stool on me?”

"We don't owe you a penny, you, you go."Uncle Xiao was so angry that his hands at the door were trembling.

“I won’t leave without the money.”The old woman put her hands on her waist, and the face of the squat was determined that the people of Xiao's family did not dare to do anything to her.

Xiao Zhen looked at the two uncles who were very angry but helpless to his mother and mother-in-law, although the family was poor, although her aunt was hot, but her mother's family was never swallowed up and bullied.

Xiao Zhen entered the yard, made a noise, and broke the deadlock.

"Mother, I have two pieces of silver here, so you can use it first."If the aunt had children, she should have called the old woman for her grandmother, and Xiao Zhen should naturally follow suit, and after that, Xiao Zhen took out two silver coins from her arms and put them into the hands of the old woman.

The old woman's face was not good, at the sight of Xiao Zhen, thought that her daughter's money had bought a dowry for this money-losing goods, and her face was even worse, but I did not expect Xiao Zhen to stop two silver coins to come over, and immediately put on a smile after he froze: "Or is Agen generous, but two or two is enough?"But in her heart, she was thinking to see if the Xiao family was as rich as the people of Tongxiao Village said, and the 12 were just casually saying that she did not expect a girl who did not leave the cabinet to shoot two or two, so it can be seen that the Xiao family is really different from the past.

"Two or two is enough for a family for two months of use, the family is difficult, as a daughter, aunt is naturally to help, but more can only be so much."If my grandmother needs more money, it's better to set up a loan."Xiao really lightly.

“The loan?”The old woman’s face turned blue for a moment.

“Hmm.Although my aunt is your daughter, my aunt is married after all, she has her own family, and she has her own family, but she has too many people to eat and wear it.

Why not eat and wear it?Only look at your dowry, no one or two silver can not be bought, even the dowry is so rich, how can there be no dozens of two deposits?"

Xiao Zhen looked at the indignant uncle, and saw the sadness of his aunt's face, his heart was also angry, and his mouth was still calm: "Wait until a family does not even have a box of money, is it not to starve to death on the street?"Do you want to see our family lose here?”

The old woman left her mouth.

"Besides, it doesn't matter how much money the Xiao family has saved and Grandma, so I also said that these two silver coins are aunts as daughters filial piety to Grandma, if Grandma needs more, it is necessary to take from Xiaojia, I will write the loan."

“What are you?”This is your aunt's house, not your home, you want to take care of it?"The old woman could not hold up.

"Aaron and we are a family."Saying this to her mother Xiao Zhen, Xiao Auntie was angry and angry, but helpless.

“A family?Well, you are so good to say that when she came to your house fifteen years ago, you could tell me that she was a drag oil bottle, and that she had lost her, and that she had wasted her rations, and now that she could marry a good man, she would be a mother?"

“When did I say that?”Aunt Xiao looked at Xiao Zhen in panic, afraid that she would think more: "Don't listen to her."

“I’m talking nonsense?”The old woman said sharply, "If I say it indiscriminately, I will thunder and crack the sky, do you dare to say this?"Who wants to go hunting in the mountains when they are 8 years old?If Xiao Lao’s feet had not been bitten by the beast at that time, and there was a shortage of labor in the family, you would have said what would you have to do with Xiao Zhen?”

Aunt Xiao looked pale, but unable to refute her mother's words, she did not think that her own mother would take out the old things in front of Xiao really face, and it was clear that her family could not live.

She did not dare to look at Xiao Zhen's eyes, nor dared to look at her husband's face.

And I don't know when, the outside of the Xiao family is also full of people watching the lively village, and they are pointing at the Xiao family for a while, pointing to Xiao's aunt.

Uncle Xiao couldn't believe what his mother-in-law said, but let him think of the big brother died when Xiao Zhen was only three years old, and although he loved Ah Zhen, he had to go up the mountain every day to hunt, every time he came back very late, although sometimes he would find some traces of sticks on Ah Zhen, but he never doubted his mother-in-law.

Until Xiao Zhen was eight years old, his feet were bitten by the wild, but the mother-in-law proposed to let the eight-year-old Xiao Zhen go hunting in the mountains, even if it was less than half, the same villagers saw her young and always divided her one or two.He did not agree with him, but he did not expect Xiao Zhen himself to agree.

In the first year, Xiao Zhen could almost say that he did not hit any prey, and those people in the same village would have pity that she would have brought back some small prey to her, but over time, he did not see some marks on Xiao Zhen, but the child never said that although he had doubts, he had become lame at the time, but also the mother-in-law took care of her, and was afraid of the mother-in-law, and endured.

Until Xiao Zhen was ten years old, slowly began to fight back to the prey, at that time, the mother-in-law to Xiao Zhen also suddenly got better, this good is a full eight years.
