"Big girl, what are you thinking about? Did you hear what my mother said to you?"
Mrs. Han kept talking for a long time, but she saw that her eldest daughter, who had always been obedient, remained dumbfounded and silent.
She suddenly became a little angry and slapped He Tianshi hard on the back.
He Tian was still thinking in a trance when suddenly he was hit and his whole body shook.
Under the influence of inertia, He Tian staggered a few steps before barely controlling his body shape.
"Mom? Why did you hit me?"
He Tian raised his head, aggrieved and confused.
And the biggest doubt in her heart is——
Was I the one who risked the death of her husband and son for the sake of my mother's family?
Me, how could I be such an excellent person?
Although He Tian didn't know what "top quality" meant at the moment, such a term came to her mind.
"I said, your brother is sick! He needs medical treatment!"
Mrs. Han felt somewhat guilty when she saw her daughter's aggrieved appearance.
She quietly took back her hand, which was aching in the palm, and muttered to herself: The force she used just now was so strong that it hurt my mother's hand.
Mrs. Han only cared about herself, but she didn't think about whether it hurt her daughter who was hit by her for no reason when she hit someone with such force?!
"sick?"
He Tian's mind moved, and he suddenly remembered, yes, this morning, my younger brother did say that he felt unwell, had severe dizziness, and was talking nonsense.
The symptoms seemed to be that of a fever.
Why do I say "as if"? Because He Tian has many things in his mind, including how to treat a doctor.
Although He Tian didn't know why she knew how to read, hear, and ask questions, she just knew how.
Just like that year, she didn't know she was pregnant, but she still went to cut wheat for her parents' family. She was tired and tired, her whole body was a little wandering, and her head was numb.
But she was still able to follow her instincts and harvest skillfully until she passed out and her blood flowed all over the ground.
Huh?
Why did you suddenly remember this?
Moreover, Mr. He Tian felt terrible pain in his heart.
She had a feeling that when she woke up and heard that she had a miscarriage, she was not so angry!
Yes, it's not just sadness, but mixed with an indescribable anger.
He Tian shook his head vigorously and felt that he must have bumped into a customer today. Why did he become so strange?
However, you can put your own affairs aside for now, but my little brother's side is more urgent.
"Yes, your brother is sick and needs medical treatment and some food with oil and water -" So, just sell your little treasure.
When Mrs. Han saw the anxiety she was most familiar with appearing in her eldest daughter's eyes, she knew that this girl was worried about Yaozong.
And as long as the daughter misses Yaozong, she will sell him even if she is reluctant to part with her son!
Mrs. Han has such confidence.
Because in her opinion, Tian Da Niu is still young and is not incapable of giving birth. Even if He Xiaobao is sold, she will be able to have more children in the future.
Besides, there has been no news from He Erniu for several months, and no one knows whether he is still alive.
Even if He Erniu is still alive, if he hasn't come back for such a long time and there is no news, Mrs. Han will have reason to let her eldest daughter remarry!
By selling He Xiaobao in advance, it would be more convenient for Tian Da Niu to remarry.
The more Mrs. Han thought about it, the more she felt that selling the child was the best choice!
However, Mrs. He Tian did not hear the underlying meaning of Mrs. Han's words. Her heart and eyes were filled with thoughts about her "sick" brother.
"Mom, I understand! I, I'm going to see Yaozong right now!"
He Tian talked to himself, left his mother behind, and walked directly towards his younger brother's family.
Mrs. Han was dumbfounded and said to Mr. He Tian's back, "You go to see Yaozong? You, you damn girl are not a doctor, so what's the use of seeing him!"
I asked you to sell your child to your brother in exchange for delicious food, not to ask you to visit him!
Mrs. Han was a little angry, stood there and stamped her feet, and then chased after her.
She was not afraid that He Tian would see that Tian Yaozong was pretending to be ill, but she didn't want to waste time.
Mrs. Han knew her own daughter very well and had already taken care of the He Tian family.
Even if He Tian found out that her mother and brother were lying to her, as long as Mrs. Han pretended to wipe away her tears and Tian Yaozong said a few soft words, He Tian would immediately give in.
Mrs. Han just wanted to sell He Xiaobao as soon as possible.
What if He Tian was delayed and Yazi had already bought enough people, and on her way to escape, where would she go to sell He Xiaobao, a six-year-old child, at a high price?!
Two guan of money or a bushel of coarse grains is enough for her Yaozong family to spend half a month!
He Tian didn't know what Mrs. Han was thinking. She only had one thought in her mind, to see how her brother's condition was.
Although she had a vague guess and understood some of the truth, she still wanted to verify it herself.
"Yao Zong, how are you?"
He Tian quickly rushed to Tian Yaozong.
Tian Yaozong hurriedly hid the half-eaten pancake in his arms, and then began to moan and groan.
"Ouch, I feel dizzy and my whole body feels so dry. Am I going to die?"
Not to mention, Tian Yaozong was quite pretending to be sick.
Standing beside him was a thin, dark woman in her twenties, holding a four or five-year-old boy in her arms.
Even though the baby boy in her arms had been raised to be fatter than her and looked very healthy, he was still being held carefully by a woman with arms as thin as a hemp pole.
She is Tian Yaozong's wife Wang, and she is second only to He Tian in the degree of oppression in the Tian family.
She was married into the family, and her only role was to give birth to sons and serve her husband and parents-in-law.
Normally working in the fields, washing and cooking, if He Tian didn't come to help, it would be Wang's job.
Even if the Wang family gets a boy in one fell swoop, with a mean and evil mother-in-law like Han Pozi and a spoiled naughty boy like Tian Yaozong, Wang's life will still be miserable.
Of course, she is still slightly stronger than He Tianshi.
Because in the eyes of Mrs. Han and other Tian family members, the daughter-in-law who gave birth to a grandson belongs to the Tian family.
As for He Tian, she is already married, so she is an outsider.
Moreover, Mrs. Han also wanted to give the Wang family several more children, and she did not dare to risk her death.
It's not like treating He Tianshi. I wish I could break her bones to pieces and suck out all the marrow inside.
Although Wang's status in the Tian family is slightly higher than that of He Tian, she is used to being bullied by her mother-in-law and husband, and has an extremely soft temper. She does not dare to show off her power to He Tian.
Seeing her sister-in-law running over in a hurry, and her husband, who was eating pancakes just a moment ago, suddenly turned into a sick person, Mrs. Wang already knew the plan of her mother-in-law and her husband, and she felt somewhat uncomfortable.
"Sister, you are here!" Mrs. Wang did not dare to make eye contact with Mr. He Tian. She hugged her son tightly and squeezed out such a greeting from her throat.
He Tian nodded in response.
Then, she squatted down and looked at Tian Yaozong's face carefully, "Yao Zong, how are you?"
"Sister, I feel uncomfortable! Ouch, I have a headache and my whole body is burning. Am I going to die?"
Tian Yaozong pretended to be weak and acted coquettishly with his silly eldest sister, oh no, it was his direct eldest sister who acted coquettishly.
Mrs. Han ran after her panting. As soon as she stepped into the cave where they temporarily lived, she heard her son's words.
Mrs. Han was very clever. She howled and rushed forward: "Oh, my son, what's wrong with you? Oh my god, why are you so sick?"
"My son, it's all because of your parents' incompetence that they don't even have the money to pay for your medical treatment!"
"Oh my God, please let me take the place of my son, or someone with good intentions can buy me out as an old woman. In exchange for money, I can see a doctor for my son and feed my daughter!"
While Mrs. Han was howling with meaning, she did not forget to peek at Mr. He Tian from the corner of her eye.
If it were the He Tian family before today, seeing such a "sick and weak" younger brother and hearing the deceitful cries of his own mother, he would have felt distressed and moved at the same time.
However, Mr. He Tian's mind is now full of confusion, but he is also exceptionally clear-headed.
She could clearly see that her brother said he was feeling uncomfortable, but there was no trace of illness on his face.
As for my mother, she howled for a long time without even a single tear on her face.
As for "selling my old wife...to give my daughter a good meal", that's even more nonsense!
Haha, let's talk about the journey of escaping from famine. Even in the good years, He Tian didn't have a full meal for nearly twenty years until he got married.
That’s right, nearly twenty years!
Tian Danniu didn't get married until she was twenty.
Don't think that Mrs. Han feels sorry for her if she doesn't rush to announce her marriage.
If Tian Da Niu was like the other three sisters, with weak strength, weak body, and a shriveled body that couldn't do much farm work, she would have been married off by her own mother long ago!
Tian Da Niu is born with great strength. Even if she doesn't have enough to eat all year round and looks skinny, she can still do more than an adult man.
The few acres of land owned by the Tian family are all cultivated by Mrs. Tian like an old scalper.
If Da Niu Tian hadn't reached the age of twenty and couldn't get married without getting married, Mrs. Han wouldn't have said marriage to her.
He Tian may not have known some things in the past, but she had longings and fantasies about her parents and younger brothers.
For some reason today, my mind seems to be filled with a lot of things.
And there was also a thought that kept reminding her, breaking everything into pieces and telling her everything.
The thick veil is torn off, and the truth revealed is cold and bloody, but it is real.
Mr. He Tian felt very uncomfortable.
Her whole body was also greatly shocked.
She didn't want to think too badly of her own mother, because it would be unfilial and disobedient!
But the voice in my head analyzed everything clearly, and there was no room for pretending to be stupid.
However, He Tian still had a trace of fantasy in her heart. She pretended to reach out to grab her brother's arm, but instead she put her finger on his pulse.
The pulse is strong and powerful!
In addition to being a little unhealthy due to obesity, her younger brother Tian Yaozong is even stronger than her, He Tianshi.
Yes, although He Tian is strong, she doesn't have enough to eat all year round, but she still has to work overloaded.
Even if she gets married, He Tian will sneak back and do farm work for her parents' family.
But you can’t delay your own work.
Therefore, it is clear that the conditions of the He family are good, and the He Tian family does not have in-laws, so her sister-in-law helps her, but her life is even more tiring than before she got married.
It was like burning a candle at both ends. Coupled with the unexpected miscarriage that year, He Tian's body had long been hollowed out.
If she doesn't take good care of her, she will be exhausted in less than two years.
He Tian had secretly checked his pulse and knew that his body was riddled with holes.
Compared to her being strong on the outside but strong on the inside, Tian Yaozong is really strong.
However, with such a good body and no problem at all, Tian Yaozong was pretending to be sick in front of him at this moment.
And her dear mother was also trying her best to help.
He Tian's heart felt like it was being placed on a red-hot iron plate, and it hurt so much!
"Mom, don't say such things, why not just sell Fugui!"
Seeing that He Tian still refused to let go, Tian Yaozong's eyes flashed with impatience, but he deliberately used his own son as a raft.
Ms. Wang on the side knew that her husband was just forcing her sister-in-law, but she still couldn't help but be afraid.
She hugged her son tighter and tighter and shrank into the corner, fearing that his son would really be snatched away and sold!
"Nonsense! Fugui is the root of our old Tian family. If you sell him, the roots of the Tian family will be cut off. If your father and I are dead, we will have no shame to meet the ancestors of the Tian family!"
Mrs. Han continued to cry hard, but there was still thunder but no rain.
However, He Tian snorted coldly in his heart——
The ancestors of the Tian family?
Ha, it really sounds like that. People who don’t know may think that the Tian family is some kind of wealthy and famous family that has lasted for hundreds of years.
In fact, the entire population of Tianjiawa is a village where refugees gathered decades ago.
The Tian family is the poorest family in Tianjiawa.
Let alone ancestors, if you ask Tian Yaozong what his great-grandfather's name was and where his body was buried, Tian Yaozong won't be able to answer.
In fact, let’s not talk about Tian Yaozong, even Tian’s father doesn’t know.
Back then, when he was only focused on escaping famine, the old man died on the road and was buried in a random hole.
When I was burying him, I made an oath: When my descendants become successful, I will take the old man’s bones back and find a geomantic treasure to bury him properly.
As a result, the children and grandchildren have a hard time making ends meet and cannot care about living people. How can they think of their ancestors who have rotted into withered bones?
Mrs. Han actually talked about her ancestors.
Haha, Mr. He Tian really wanted to say something: "Mom, you don't have to worry about not being able to see your ancestors after you die. Because you can't see them at all, and even if you do, you don't know them!"
He Tian was stunned for a moment, she, when did she become so sharp-tongued, mean and bitter?!
However, although these words may sound like elder mud, they are really refreshing.
Look at Tian Yaozong, who is obviously fat and big-eared, but still grunts and pretends to be sick. This younger brother is obviously full of impatience and disgust, but he still pretends to be a good and well-behaved younger brother.
How blind was she, He Tian, in the past? Tian Yaozong didn't bother to hide the expression on his face, but she couldn't even tell!
etc!
Me, why do I treat my brother like this?
This is wrong!
In He Tian's mind, two voices began to fight.
However, the weak one succumbed to the disadvantage not only because of its weak nature, but also because of some discoveries made today that completely shattered her years of faith and persistence!
For example, she has always believed that she, her mother, and her brother are one family, and that her brother will be her support.
As the eldest sister, she should also take good care of him.
