Chapter 42 Someone was sold

Jiang Yan's brains were broken. These stupid sons said: "The mountain road is uneven. It is easy to go up the mountain but difficult to go down. Do you think it is that easy to carry water?"

Jiang Yan said angrily with a straight face: "According to your statement, the three of you are busy carrying water and digging wells. Who will pick green leaves for me, and who will go to town to sell rice rolls?"

Jiang Yan didn't say much. She already had a rough idea in her mind. She just wanted to leave some space for her sons to think and cultivate their thinking skills. If there was a good way, it would be better, so she didn't follow her way.

A few people began to immerse themselves in thinking, and the sun gradually set in the west. Jiang Yan led a few people to rush home.

Tomorrow we will go to town to sell rice rolls, and tonight the family will make cold tofu.

Her purpose today was to look for water sources. She found a lot of things without picking them, so she picked two wild Ganoderma lucidum. She was lucky. The Ganoderma lucidum had been sprayed with powder and had grown, but it was not very big. She sold it for thirty

Eight taels of silver was the most she had ever earned.

In addition, Jiang Yan was in such a good mood that she found a water source today and couldn't help but jump a few times when she was going down the mountain.

When I got home, I simply washed the dirt on my body as usual.

The two daughters-in-law have already prepared dinner. Jiang Yan has become accustomed to eating brown rice these days, and under her authority, the daughter-in-law is willing to add oil and salt when cooking, so the food is not too bad.

"Why hasn't the third child come back? It's almost time to start dinner."

Jiang Yan looked outside the door in confusion. The sky had darkened. Lin Xi had gone out to fetch water and hadn't come back yet.

As soon as she finished speaking, Lin Xi came back with two buckets of water. After putting the water away, she said, "Mom, I'm back."

"Why did it take so long?"

Lin Xi looked regretful and choked up and said: "Uncle Gen from Qiancun sold the small stone. He was just negotiating the price with Granny Ya and said he would come over tomorrow and take it away in a cart."

Jiang Yan frowned, remembering that the child named Xiao Shitou, who was about the same age as Lin Feng, had come to her place to eat cold tofu a few days ago.

Lin Gensheng, Xiao Shitou's father, was a kind-hearted and honest man. He had helped Lin Xi and the others many times before, so when Xiao Shitou was sold, everyone looked pale and helpless.

"Little Shitou's mother is sick. Uncle Gen spent all the family's money on treating Little Shitou's mother. In order to save a few mouthfuls of food, he almost starved to death..."

After Lin Xi finished speaking, Wang Jinhua also said with a pale face: "The old woman came to our house today to ask about it, and I kicked her out. Mom, we still have food at home. If it doesn't work, you can still go to the mountains to find food.

, but you can’t sell your child!”

Jiang Yan nodded. Thinking of that old woman's face, she felt resentful in her heart. A living person might really starve to death. This person was so hungry that he could even eat the bark of a tree. Lin Gensheng was afraid that he couldn't bear the suffering of his wife and children.

, but he is the only grown man in his family. If he really starves to death, his wife and children will not survive sooner or later.

Lin Dong said hurriedly: "Mother will not sell us. Our family can now go to the town to sell rice rolls to make money. When the autumn harvest comes, there will still be food to sell for money! As long as our family works hard, we will definitely be able to make money."

You will starve to death!"

Lin Xi said: "But if God doesn't rain, people in the village say that our place is unlucky. It must have collided with the land god or the god of heaven, otherwise there will be less rain and more drought."

Jiang Yan didn't know what to say.

Before, she did not believe in evil or God.

But now, I have changed my body in another era. If I don’t believe this, science can’t explain it.

In times of famine, the older generation always thought that if they eat less, their children would eat more. Although they are great, how long can children with no power hold on?

Jiang Yan looked gloomy. She couldn't help these people. The only thing she could do was to prevent herself from facing this situation, so she had to work hard to make money!

Before it got dark, Jiang Yan took out the pig meat that had been stewed during the day and cut it into fine pieces: "Lao San, take this bowl of braised pork and follow me to your uncle Gen's house."

Jiang Yan was soft-hearted after all. When she thought that her children had received favors from others, and maybe they didn't starve to death because of other people's kindness, she still wanted to take a look, among other things, just in case there was medicine in the mall.

Can Lin Gensheng's wife be cured?

Lin Xi smelled a bowl of fragrant braised pork in her hand, and her mouth watered with greed, but she just licked her lips and waited obediently at the door.

After Jiang Yan returned to the house, she bought ten kilograms of buckwheat noodles in the mall, and then walked out carrying it in a cloth bag: "This is the buckwheat noodles I bought before, and I want to save it for later. Since Uncle Gen's family is in trouble, let's send it over."

."

Lin Dong nodded, his eyes a little red: "Mom, Uncle Gen always secretly brought us food in the past, and even took us to his house for dinner several times. I didn't expect...it's even more difficult than ours now."

Jiang Yan patted his shoulder: "Since our family has food now, let's send some over. If others treat you well, that is because they are kind-hearted, but it is not a matter of course. You must remember these favors."

Several people looked up at Jiang Yan, feeling that her mother was different from before, but they couldn't tell what was different, but they liked her now.

Jiang Yan took Lin Xi to Qiancun. Using the lights of various houses, the two of them explored the winding path. This would be the happiest time of the day for everyone, because most of the people in the village were like this.

There is time to cook and eat, the children at home are playing and joking endlessly, the evening breeze is blowing, and it seems that all the worries no longer exist...

After all, Lin Gensheng's family is in Qiancun. Although the treatment of his wife has emptied the family's wealth, the house is still there, and it is one of the best in the village with adobe bricks and tiles.

At this time, every household was busy having dinner, and Lin Gensheng's family was no exception. In his family, there was only an elderly father, his sick wife, and two young sons.

When Jiang Yan arrived, her two sons were holding Lin Gensheng and crying. Most of the farm children were precocious. Even if they were in single digits, they were all well-behaved and sensible, and few were naughty.

Jiang Yan was heartbroken by this scene. Xiao Shitou knew that he was going to be sold, so he accepted everything. Instead of crying and making a fuss, he comforted Lin Gensheng who couldn't help crying.

Jiang Yan reached out and knocked on the wooden door, and the thumping sound interrupted the family's crying.

Lin Gensheng wiped away his tears in a panic. When he saw that the person coming was Jiang Yan, he looked surprised and asked, "Aunt Jiang, why are you here?"

Jiang Yan pursed her lips and smiled: "I heard the third child talk about your family affairs. I came over to see how my sister-in-law is doing? Is her body feeling better?"

Lin Gensheng was obviously surprised. He smiled in embarrassment, and then hurriedly took out two small stools: "Sit down quickly, Hammer. Go and pour two bowls of water."
