LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 16 A touch of green in winter
Tong Xiaying suddenly became so tough and strong because the last time Su Sanzhu sold her child, she understood that being a mother means being strong!
If she doesn't toughen up, she will be weak and incompetent in front of men, and she will just wait to be bullied. If she wants to protect her four daughters, she must toughen up.
Otherwise, Su Sanzhu, this shameless villain, will only get worse!
He dared to sell his children last time, so next time he will probably be able to keep his word and sell all his mothers.
Su Sanzhu raised his lips and said, "How could that little sheep possibly change the world?"
The man lay on the bed and fell asleep, and soon he started snoring loudly.
The next second, the man felt a pain in his lower back.
As soon as she turned her head, she met Tong Xiaying's foot before she could take it back.
"You stinky bitch, you dare to attack me, are you tired of living?" He said and got up.
Before the man could raise his hand, Su Hanlin started wailing. The cry was earth-shattering, attracting all the Su family members.
Mrs. Su narrowed her eyes, "Su Sanzhu, are you bullying Xia Ying again?!
I'll beat you to death, and if you don't put on your bed for three days, I'll know you're not well-intentioned. It's only been a few days. "
The old lady had sharp eyesight and quick hands. She held the feather duster in her hand. She picked it up in the next second and whipped it towards Su Sanzhu.
"No, I, I, I didn't!" Su Sanzhu jumped around the room. He didn't dare to make a mistake in front of the old lady.
If he did something in front of the old lady, it would be treason, but he still had this conscience.
"No? Then why did you go into this house? The woodshed is where you should be. Why did you run to the child's room?"
"The child was scared to tears by you, and you still say you didn't do anything?"
Su Sanzhu immediately withered, "Mom, I was so unjust. The floor of the woodshed was too hard, so I just wanted to go back to the house and lie down for a while. But Tong Xiaying wouldn't let me."
As he said this, the man still looked aggrieved.
"Ok?"
"Go back to the house and lie down?"
"Who do you think you are? Do you still think the woodshed is tough?" Mrs. Su raised her eyebrows.
"Mom, I am your son after all. The woodshed is so rigid and air leaks from everywhere. My injuries are not healed..."
The man was interrupted before he could finish his words, "Can you blame us? You brought it on yourself and deserved it. Who asked you to sell the child?"
Get out of here and go back to your woodshed. If you think the woodshed is too hard, then you can find a place to sleep in. "
The Su family wanted him to get out of the house. How could he find a shelter in this ice and snow?
He still had to rely on his family to support himself, and if he went out, he would be seeking death. The energy he had just gained was suddenly gone.
"Xia Ying, it's okay. If this bastard dares to do anything in the future, don't be afraid. We are all at home, so just shout. As soon as you shout, we will come." As soon as they left, the old lady His expression softened immediately, and he turned around to comfort Tong Xiaying.
"Hey, thank you, Mom!" Tong Xiaying hugged the child and burst into tears of gratitude.
After the Su family left, Tong Xiaying looked down at her daughter, who was already fast asleep, as if she was not the one who howled just now.
Tong Xiaying looked at her daughter with soft eyes, "I will definitely protect you in the future! I won't let you be bullied again!"
……
At noon, the woodshed was locked again. If you give me some color, you can open the dyeing room. Those who can do it will do so.
"Mom, I'm so hungry. It's already noon. Is there anything to eat?"
"Eat, eat, you know how to eat all day long. How can there be so much food at home to feed you? Two meals a day, you go hungry." Mrs. Su broke her mouth in disgust.
Su Sanzhu complained and shook the woodshed door, but the old lady couldn't get in.
“Mom, wouldn’t it be bad if we also open fire at noon?
What would happen if the villagers found out? "
Nowadays, there is a shortage of money. If their chimneys are smoking every day, that is not a problem.
"I made extra in the morning and brought it into the house during breakfast. I heated it up on a small stove and it will be fine."
There is plenty of food at home now, so there is no need to worry about food, so there is no need to scrimp.
The child is still growing. In the past two years, the child has been living a hard life. How can he live the same life as before when he has food.
As night falls, the Su family, father and son, have not returned yet.
"Mom, the road is slippery and it's dark. Are we almost home?" Xie Lianhua was a little worried.
The old lady was used to it, "It's a long way to the city, how can we come back so soon?"
Plus carrying so much stuff, it takes some effort to carry it out. "
Xie Lianhua nodded. The oil lamp was dim and her eyes hurt. She should not do it. She was so flustered.
"Stop it, don't hurt your eyes when you look back. You are still so young, how can you fix your eyes if they are broken?"
Xie Lianhua's fingers were pricked several times by needles.
Su Hanlin's consciousness reached out, and there was heavy snow falling, a cold wind howling, and no one could be seen within a radius of 500 meters.
All the women in the room were thinking about the father and son.
Finally, the door outside the house rang.
"Quick, the boss must be back. Hurry up and open the door."
As soon as he opened the door, he saw three people surrounded by snow.
"Oh, I'm back."
Su Sanzhu, who was lying in the room, immediately stood up when he heard the noise and looked out through the peephole.
I saw his father and two brothers carrying something on their backs.
He just said, okay, I went out to chop some firewood today. I was obviously going to the town, and I didn’t even take him with me, hum!
"Old man, what's wrong with your feet? Why are you limping?"
The eldest and second eldest children also supported each other, limping and even had some injuries on their faces.
"It's the same for both of you!" Mrs. Su burst into tears.
"Mom, it's okay, we just fell down on the road.
Hehe, my brother still held me back when he fell. My father was anxious and stretched out his hand too. The three of us fell together and fell hard. "Su Erzhu scratched his head.
"Oh, you stupid boy, how can you still laugh at this?
Did you fall somewhere else? "
"No, I just got scratched twice on the face by tree forks. It will be fine tomorrow."
The three of them, father and son, laughed and laughed, which instantly resolved the tense atmosphere.
"Daughter-in-law, we are very thirsty. Hurry up and get us some water." Mrs. Su's mouth was cracked by the cold, and her lips were so pale that she didn't look like a normal person.
"We didn't dare to delay along the way. We immediately changed the food when we got to the town, and then came back huffing and puffing. But we were exhausted."
"It'll be fine when we get home. The three of you quickly wipe it off with a hot towel and change your clothes. These clothes are covered with ice and dirt." The old lady screamed in distress and her eyes were red.
The children at home gathered around the basket, poking at it out of curiosity, but the adults didn't say anything, and they didn't dare.
"Let's take a look at what they came back with."
As soon as the three backpacks were opened, green vegetable leaves were seen. This is a touch of green that can be seen in winter.
"green!"
"Fresh celery! Wow!"
"Milk, are these soybeans? Can we grow bean sprouts at home? I want to eat bean sprouts!"
After winter, there was less food, so they drank porridge and ate pickled radishes every meal.
It’s been more than half a year since I’ve eaten green leafy vegetables.
This soybean is easy to preserve and can sprout bean sprouts, making it an indispensable item in winter.
"Boss, didn't you find any meat?" Mrs. Su looked around but couldn't find any meat.
"Mom, the meat is in your pocket. It's in the pocket of my father's military coat."
It’s not easy to walk on the way back and I’m afraid it might fall off, so it’s safer to put it in your pocket and you can touch it from time to time.
