Chapter 31 Someone is jealous
"You went into the mountain to dig the mallet yourself, and you didn't bring anyone else with you. Many people in the village had objections, so you found your uncle."
Zhao and Xu have a good relationship, so of course Xu Shiyan has to be told about this and let him be on guard.
This is how the human heart is. If everyone is having a bad time, no one will have anything to say.
But other people are still bitter and hunched over every day to earn work points, but Xu Shiyan has made a lot of money, there must be some people who feel unbalanced.
"Although these people have been pushed back by your Uncle Zhao, I'm afraid they will make other moths." Mrs. Zhao looked worried.
"Also, the Chen family has been saying everywhere in the past two days that the black blind man you killed was strangled to death by their family's Chen Yongfu going up and down the mountain. You pick his family's."
Few people took this seriously at first, but they couldn't stand what the Chen family said, and now many people believe it.
"The Chen family went to your mother's place to make a fuss once. When you come back today, you must be careful."
What should be said, Mrs. Zhao has said everything, she really thinks of Xu Shiyan.
The more Xu Shiyan listened, the more ridiculous he felt. The Chen family really dared to think.
As far as those few birdmen in his family are still playing tricks? Why doesn't he go to heaven?
"Thank you, auntie, I know about this.
The black blind man was not trapped at all. I have a way to prove this. Don't worry, auntie. "
No matter what, Xu Shiyan must appreciate the kind reminder.
"Okay, I'm relieved if you know what's in your mind.
Hurry up and go home, your mother has been worried for the past two days, so go and have a look when you come back. " Granny Zhao waved her hands with a smile, turned and left.
"Let's go, go see our mother first." Xu Shiyan sighed, and led his daughter-in-law straight to Xu's house.
As soon as Xu Shiyan and his wife entered the village, a little boy sent a letter to the Xu family.
Before the couple entered the courtyard, they saw Xu Shiqin, the eldest son of the Xu family, and Xu Jinfeng and Xu Jinxiu, the two daughters of Xu Shixian's family, rushed out of the courtyard.
"Third brother, you are back. Our mother has been going crazy for the past two days, talking all day long." Xu Shiqin was very happy to see her brother.
"How is it, is the road safe? Once you leave, our mother is worried, afraid that there will be some mistakes on the road."
Xu Shiqin looked his brother and sister-in-law up and down, and he felt relieved after seeing them doing well.
"It's pretty good, I take the train back and forth, and the road is safe.
The key point is that your brother is so inconspicuous, he looks like a mud leg at first glance, and no one thinks highly of me. "
Xu Shiyan smiled. In fact, it’s okay and safe outside this year. Waiting for a few more years will be called chaos.
"Let's go, go home, I bought a lot of things, and I have a gift from you."
Xu Shiyan raised his hand and rubbed the top of the little girl's head, deliberately messing up her combed hair.
Xu Shiqin was not annoyed either, just smiled and patted his brother's hand away, and asked curiously, "What did you buy for me?"
"There are many, let's go, let's go into the house and have a look."
If Xu Shiyan still has a bit of nostalgia for the Xu family, apart from the old lady Zhou Guilan, this is the younger sister Xu Shiqin.
Xu Shiqin, the sixth child of the Xu family, is eighteen this year and was born after the Xu family moved to Daying.
This child has a bad life, and when he was born, life was difficult.
Everyone is starving and malnourished.
Zhou Guilan was pregnant and couldn't eat enough, how could she give birth to a healthy child?
When Xu Shiqin was born, she was thin and small like a kitten, with congenital deficiencies, always sick, I don’t know how much energy was spent, but she managed to keep it.
Xu Shiqin is in poor health, and in winter he spends all day on the kang, surrounded by a quilt, with a brazier in front of him.
One evening in the winter when he was three years old, Xu Shiqin was going to the field to relieve his hand, just in time for Zhou Guilan to cook, and the rest of the family were also busy.
Six-year-old Xu Shixiang carried his younger sister to the ground, and then carried her to the kang after relieved.
A six-year-old baby, holding a three-year-old baby is already strenuous enough, but when it comes to the kang, Xu Shiqin can only be carried up.
Originally, Xu Shiqin's physique was not very good, and he always stayed at home, his bones were brittle, and the two children's spine was damaged due to improper force.
At that time, no one cared about it. In the next few days, Xu Shiqin complained of a stomachache. Zhou Guilan found some medicine for him, and he stopped crying after a few days.
But unexpectedly, a bump slowly grew on Xu Shiqin's back, turning into a hunchback.
Because of this hunchback, Xu Shiqin is only about 1.5 meters tall.
She is a pretty girl with delicate features and ingenuity. Because of this hunchback, her marriage has become a problem.
In their twenties, no one introduces a partner, and the worried old couple of the Xu family sighed all day long.
Until 1984, 25-year-old Xu Shiqin was introduced to marry Liang Shulin, who was six years older than her.
Liang Shulin is the eldest of the Liang family. His family was poor and could not marry a wife. He dragged on until he was in his thirties and married Xu Shiqin.
After the two got married, they gave birth to a son with thick eyebrows and big eyes.
Unexpectedly, he was only 28 years old, and died of acute renal failure and uremia.
Xu Shiqin was not in good health. The death of her son was a big blow to her, and she also passed away due to cardiopulmonary syndrome in the second year.
There are six brothers and sisters in the Xu family. The second child, Xu Shian, died of stomach cancer in 1985. The remaining five are Xu Shiyan and Xu Shiqin.
The two families live close to each other, and they help each other with anything, so Xu Shiyan has the deepest affection for this younger sister.
Resurrection, I don't know if I can change my little sister's fate? That Luo Guo'er might not be able to do anything about it, it's not enough given the current level of medical treatment.
Maybe, save more money, wait for the medical conditions to improve in a few years, and try to go to the capital?
Do your best, as long as you have a little hope, you have to try.
"Third uncle, is there a gift for us?"
As soon as they heard that the little aunt had a gift, the two little girls on the other end also widened their eyes and asked curiously.
"Yes, both." Xu Shiyan reached out and pinched Xu Jinxiu's fleshy face.
The brothers of the Xu family are not very good, but the children of the younger generation are all good, and they treat Xu Shiyan very well, and never say they look down on this poor uncle.
So when he was in Tonghua, Xu Shiyan bought things for the children, no matter how much, it was his uncle's heart.
As soon as they heard that they also had presents, the two little girls clapped their hands happily, turned around and ran into the yard.
"Grandma, my third uncle and third aunt are back and bought something for me." The two little girls shouted excitedly.
Zhou Guilan heard it, came out of the house, and happened to meet Xu Shiyan and his wife.
"It's good to be back, I'm still worried at home. How is it? Is Yingzi okay?" Zhou Guilan hurriedly asked when she saw her son and daughter-in-law.
"Well, it's just a little anemia, I prescribed some medicine, and just go home and take care of it slowly." Xu Shiyan told the truth.
"The child is still young, and I can't see anything now. The doctor said, if you are worried, you should go to the hospital for checkups."
In this day and age, women in cities may still know about prenatal checkups, but rural people don't understand at all.
