Chapter 5 The ugly nickname

This time she bought five catties of corn for three cents per catty, weighed one catty each of sorghum and beans, and left the thirteen cents untouched, planning to return it to Aunt Fuhua first.

The little girl whose mind was full of copper coins and food did not remember the magical experience today until she got close to her house. However, she still had no time to tell her mother in detail, because the water in her home had bottomed out, and she had to go to the village to transport water back.

.

The isolated island where my family is currently staying is not very big. Fortunately, there is a small hill to protect me from the wind, and I can usually get some firewood and wild vegetables. The only disadvantage is that there is no clean water. If I want to eat or drink, I have to go back to the village to get it.

Ye Yu didn't find it troublesome, but he was tired of meeting one or two annoying people every time he returned to the village. They always said some incomprehensible things and put people in a bad mood all day long.

She emptied the bucket alone and was about to untie the rope on the raft and row away when she saw her mother chasing after her.

"Yu'er..."

Seeing his mother's hesitant expression, Ye Yu already understood something in his heart. She probably wanted him to go see his grandparents.

…

The word "filial piety" is on your head, even if you are insulted and driven away by your elders, you still can't get rid of it.

Now that my father has disappeared and my grandparents are getting older, this idea is not too much to say, but Ye Yu just can't accept it simply.

She was probably an anomaly because she had no filial piety towards her grandparents. But in order not to make her grandma sad, she still nodded.

"I will take a look..."

A sneak peek outside the fence is just a look, but my mother-in-law doesn’t know.

Ye Yu took her family's bucket and paddled slowly towards the village. The sun was already setting, and the villagers who had gone fishing were returning home one after another. She met several waves of people on the beach.

However, those uncles and uncles had no ill intentions toward her. At most, they just thought it was unlucky and subconsciously stayed away. She was smart enough not to take the main road into the village, but walked around the beach and through the palm forest beside the village.

Not far from the palm forest is Aunt Qiu's home. Walking a little further back from her home, you can meet a stream, where the clean water I usually use is obtained.

Ye Yu took out two kilograms of corn from the bucket and prepared to return it on the way.

In fact, the fishermen who live by the sea are poor but have nothing to eat. After all, the sea is full of treasures, and a lot of sea creatures can be brought in between the low and high tides every day. As long as they are not particularly lazy, they can still live. If it were not for

During the typhoon not long ago, my family would not be able to survive without running out of food.

When I borrowed one and a half pounds of corn from Aunt Qiu, I still had to pay two pounds, so her mother-in-law probably had nothing to say.

Ye Yu approached the door and was about to take a photo when he suddenly heard a burst of harsh yells and curses coming from inside.

"I'm just asking you to wash Ru Niang's clothes. What's your attitude? How can you be a sister-in-law?! You eat free food at home every day and don't lay eggs. That means my family can tolerate you!"

These words sounded harsh, so Ye Yu opened the door and walked in without thinking.

"Aunt Qiu..."

Hearing Ye Yu's voice, Lian Qiu, who was sitting blankly washing clothes, immediately raised her head. She looked fine. She didn't feel any pain after being scolded for a long time, and she didn't even have red circles under her eyes.

"Xiaoyu, why are you here?"

As soon as Lian Qiu finished asking, he was pushed hard from behind by his mother-in-law.

"You're blind, of course I'm here to pay you back the food."

Shi Shi took the sack from Ye Yu's hand with a stinking look on his face, and after shaking his weight, his expression became a little better, but his words were still very rude.

"Ye Yatou, if you have nothing to do in the future, don't come to my house all the time. No one's food comes from the strong wind. If you borrow it, you can borrow it, who knows you won't be able to pay it back in the future."

Lian Qiu was so angry that he wanted to retaliate on the spot, but asked Ye Yu to hold his hand and calm him down. They all knew how Shi was, and the more he pulled her, the harder it got, and there was no reason at all.

Moreover, Aunt Qiu is the daughter-in-law and does not naturally have the upper hand. If there is a quarrel, people will only say that she is disrespectful to her mother-in-law.

"Aunt Qiu, it's getting dark, and I still have to fetch water."

"Okay, I'll go with you."

Lian Qiu watched Ye Yu grow up and loved her from the bottom of her heart. Thinking that the little girl had to carry two heavy buckets of water to the beach by herself, she felt heartbroken. She didn't care about the clothes in the yard and just took Ye Yu with her.

The fisherman left, and Shi was so angry that he cursed for a long time at the top of his lungs.

Ye Yu bit his lip, a little worried that Aunt Qiu would be bullied when she returned home soon, and he refused to give her the bucket in his hand.

"Girl, what are you afraid of?"

Lian Qiu smiled and whispered: "Don't worry, your Uncle Shitou will be back soon. Without him, my mother-in-law can only mumble a few words and dare not scold me. Give me the bucket quickly and I will help you."

Mention, you can go back early."

Ye Yu couldn't resist her, so he had to loosen the bucket, and the two went to the creek to fetch water. Along the way, Lian Qiuzai carefully asked about the mother and daughter's life on the island, and heard that Ye Yu could now earn her money by himself.

Mother Yaqian was really filled with emotion. She had nothing to say, she just touched the little girl’s head and praised her for her ability.

"By the way, don't you still want to pay back Sister Fuhua's money? I'll bring the water to you. You go and pay back the money first."

Ye Yu nodded, turned around and ran to Aunt Fuhua's house not far away, first paying back the ten cents.

One denarius is equivalent to one hundred pennies, so paying back ten pennies is not a small sum. For the mother and daughter who live in poverty, this is a large amount of money.

Fuhua simply accepted the money, and even "toughly" invited Ye Yu to come over for her son's wedding banquet later.

Ye Yu promised, but in his heart he had no intention of coming.

Just because Aunt Fuhua doesn't dislike her doesn't mean that others don't dislike her either. Especially when it comes to weddings, most people are taboo on her. There's no need to come to her door on a good day to offend her.

After coming out of Aunt Fuhua's house, Ye Yu turned right and went to his grandpa's house. No, it should have become his uncle's house by now.

Her grandma gave birth to three sons and one daughter in total. Her brother-in-law became a son-in-law in the town. The only two sons left in the village were her father and uncle. Now that her father and brother are missing, the old couple will have to rely on their parents in the future.

When the son takes care of himself in old age, the house naturally becomes the uncle's.

Ye Yu didn't get close because she saw Grandma and her uncle's little baby talking to someone in front of the house from a distance.

Grandma is really worried. Grandma seems to be doing well. She is chatting and laughing with her neighbors about the recent trivial matters at home, and she is even more loving to Xiaobao.

The bitter and mean grandmother in my memory seems to be another person.

"Hey! Broomstick, what are you hiding here?!"

Ye Yu stiffened, then relaxed quickly. She ignored the eldest cousin behind her, turned around and left.

She's just a cousin, I'm afraid she might do something...

Seeing her like this, Ye Hui suddenly felt very shameless and called her "Broom Star" several times in a row. Not only did she call her "Broom Star", but she also called her "ugly" and other unpleasant nicknames.

Ye Yu threw those voices behind her ears and ran quickly. Although she wanted to yell back, she couldn't argue because she was not good at speaking. Forcing her to argue would only make her look like a stammer.

At this time, she thought of the beautiful sister's words again. It seemed that she could cure her oral disease with a very simple method.

A very crazy idea suddenly came to Ye Yu's mind.

Tomorrow, why don't you try it in the woods again?
