Your parents are still alive, why are you acting like an elder here?!
Are you cursing your parents to die early and give birth to children early? Make room so that you can fulfill your parental responsibilities to your younger brother?!
Such a rebellious voice came out of He Tian's heart again.
After being frightened several times in succession, He Tian seemed to have become mentally stronger. He was not even afraid when he heard such words that would make others scorn him.
She even had a vague approval.
Yes, both parents are here, why should she, an older sister, take care of her younger brother like a mother?!
If it's just that siblings support each other, that should be their share.
But the problem is, the Tian family is not in this situation.
He Tian made a completely unilateral contribution, almost ruining his family in order to support his younger brother and nephew.
Why?
Obviously she is just a sister. Even if the eldest sister is like a mother, it is "like", not equal!
To put it another way, she treats her brother as his own mother, but will his brother treat her as his own mother?
"You can't sell your mother, because no one wants her when she is old!"
"You can't sell Fugui, because Fugui is the root of Lao Tian's family!"
He Tian had resentment in his heart, and what he said didn't sound so nice.
She said these two sentences without any fluctuation in her voice, and suddenly raised her head, revealing an expressionless face.
"So, who should I sell to?"
When Mrs. Han saw He Tian like this at first sight, she felt a little nervous.
Because she herself is not upright and has a guilty conscience.
But soon, Mrs. Han straightened her neck again: "You're so guilty! I gave birth to Danniu Tian. Even if I sell her, it's only natural and right!"
"Now, I didn't sell her, I just asked her to sell that little brat. How dare she still make sarcastic remarks?"
"What does she want to do? Does she want to rebel?"
Humph, you really went against her!
The more Mrs. Han thought about it, the more she felt that she was justified. She looked at He Tian with a pair of triangular eyes, "Big girl, who are you talking to? Do you still understand the rules?"
Yoho, stop pretending to be a loving mother?!
His acting skills are not up to par, and his patience is even worse.
Of course, it can also be seen from this that Mrs. Han really does not take the He Tian family seriously and does not even bother to pretend.
"Mom, tell me, who do you want to sell to?"
However, He Tian didn't seem to hear Mrs. Han's question and continued to ask questions blankly.
Mrs. Han was so angry that her face turned red and her neck was thick. She was about to raise her hand and give her unfilial daughter a lesson when she was stopped by Father Tian who was squatting in a daze at the entrance of the cave.
"Daughter-in-law, what are you doing? I know you are in a hurry because of Yaozong, but you can't lose your temper."
Father Tian has always had a reputation for being honest and honest.
Even though all three daughters were married off in exchange for betrothal gifts in a manner that was almost "sold", people in Tianjiawa and the surrounding villages just secretly commented that Mrs. Han was nothing.
As for Father Tian, at most I think he is too honest and can't even subdue a mother-in-law.
In fact, not only outsiders, but also the four daughters, including Tian Danniu, all think that Father Tian, the biological father, is better than the biological mother.
Although it cannot improve their growing environment, it cannot change their fate of being married off to an old, ugly or lame man.
But their biological father still cherished them very much, but he couldn't defeat Mrs. Han, a fierce and domineering wife!
Mr. He Tian: ...I really want to applaud Father Tian. Look at how silly he is. His daughters really regard him as a good person!
Yes, make a fool of yourself!
Father Tian only talks about being a loving father, but in his heart he is just like Mrs. Han, who values boys over girls.
He is even more serious than Mrs. Han.
It's just that he knows how to disguise and use nice words that are worthless and useless to coax his four daughters.
In the past, Mr. He Tian was not aware of this. Like the other three sisters, they all thought that their biological father was a good person, but he was too soft-tempered and could not control Mrs. Han!
But today, He Tian made a keen discovery: Mrs. Han looked like she was baring her teeth and claws, but she was actually the shield that Father Tian pushed in front of her, a gun in her hand!
Mrs. Han did the bad things, but the good guy was Father Tian.
For example, at this moment, Mrs. Han started shouting and made the atmosphere awkward, so Father Tian took the opportunity to jump out and smooth things over.
On the surface, this couple looks tough and soft, black and white, but in fact, deep down, they are both people who are very fond of their daughter and dote on their son in every possible way.
The two of them are worthless, and neither of them is a loving elder.
The only difference is probably that one used violence to coerce and the other used tenderness to kidnap. The methods were different.
Mrs. Han put on a cold face, and Father Tian came to comfort her softly.
Sure enough, I saw Father Tian coming to He Tian's side. He first sighed, and then said helplessly and pityingly: "Big girl, don't blame your mother. She has always had this temper, but she loves you in her heart."
of!"
"The main reason is that Yaozong was ill and your mother was so anxious that she came up with random ideas."
"If you don't want to sell someone, we won't sell anyone. I know that your son-in-law is gone and you only have Xiaobao as your child, so you will definitely be reluctant to part with him!"
"However, my dear daughter, your mother wants to sell Xiaobao not just to treat your brother's illness."
"First of all, you are still young and your son-in-law doesn't know how to live or die. You can't always guard him like this. Sooner or later you will remarry. But if you get married, it won't be shameful to have a child by your side!"
"Secondly, we are fleeing from famine. We are just eating snacks. The little grain and copper coins we brought with us when we went out are all gone. Even if we don't sell Xiaobao today, we will still sell them when we run out of grain!"
"Thirdly, we are also looking for a way out for Xiaobao. If a noble person is willing to spend two thousand dollars to buy a baby, it shows that the family is rich. Selling Xiaobao to someone else is better than having a good child starve and suffer with us!"
Father Tian is an honest person, but he is very sharp-tongued.
Listen to what they say, they are well-founded, proceed step by step, give in first, and then attack.
If it were the former He Tian family, he might have been fooled.
"All the food has been eaten? When I went back to my parents' house, I brought a hundred catties of mixed noodles and two hundred catties of sweet potatoes!"
He Tian reminded calmly.
Father Tian: ...of course the food has not been finished, it is all piled up in the donkey cart.
But the problem is that their escape has just begun, and no one can guarantee when they will have a place to stay.
There are several people, old and young, along the way. If we don't make more calculations, sooner or later we will run out of food.
Father Tian doesn't want to wrong his son and grandson.
As for He Xiaobao, he is indeed his grandson, but doesn't this include the word "foreign"?
If you don't even share the same surname, why should you eat his family's food?
Father Tian had long forgotten that the donkey cart used to pull people and goods, as well as two-thirds of the grain, originally had the surname He.
Father Tian is only sure of one thing: the things belonging to the He family now belong to his eldest daughter, and what belongs to his eldest daughter belongs to the Tian family.
Rounding it off, those things are all named Tian!
"Oh, there are so many of us eating and drinking, how can we get enough food?"
Father Tian waved his hands unnaturally, confusing He Tian's question.
However, He Tianshi was not dismissed, but pressed forward step by step, "Then sell the donkey cart. Dad, you also said that we are fleeing from famine now, and the donkey cart is more valuable!"
"No! If we sell the donkey cart, what can we use to pack our luggage? Your brother is tired from walking, where can we sit down?!"
This time there was no need for Madam Han to come out and play dirty, Father Tian immediately rejected it!
"It doesn't matter, Dad, I'm strong, I can carry the luggage! If Yaozong gets tired from walking, I can also support him!"
In the end, He Tian refused to give up and did not want to admit that his biological father, who was good to him, was actually a great person.
She said seriously, her tone no longer cold and a little more pleading.
"That won't work either!" Mrs. Han jumped up and objected.
Food must not be given to a daughter, even if she is treated as a strong laborer.
Father Tian didn't speak, but his expression made it very clear that he had the same idea as Mrs. Han.
As for Tian Yaozong, haha, he is no longer too lazy to pretend to be sick now, he just lies on the ground covered with thick mattresses, watching the show and secretly nibbling pancakes!
"This won't work, that won't work either! Is selling my little treasure the only way?"
He Tianshi's lips trembled, and his whole body seemed to have suffered a huge blow.
"Oh, why are you such a naughty kid? Dad has already told you the truth, but you can't understand!"
"My parents are all for your own good! We are your biological fathers and mothers, and Yaozong is your biological brother. Could we still harm you?"
Seeing that the atmosphere was tense again, Father Tian hurriedly tried to smooth things over by pretending to "hate iron but not steel".
"That's right, eldest sister, just listen to our father. I'm still sick now!"
After watching the show, Tian Yaozong stuffed the last bite of pancake into his mouth and gave vague advice.
It was a good thing that he didn't speak, but his opening of his mouth reminded He Tianshi.
He Tian did not pursue whether Tian Yaozong was pretending to be ill. She suddenly thought of something and asked abruptly: "Brother, let me ask you, last year you said you wanted eight guans to buy exam questions. What did you buy?"
Is it done yet?”
"Ahem! Ahem!"
Tian Yaozong was chewing hard when he suddenly heard this question. He was shocked and actually choked.
have to!
Tian Yaozong doesn't need to answer, just his damned, guilty look is enough to explain everything.
There was no reason to buy exam questions at all, and it was not for the purpose of testing scholars and shining a light on the Tian family. Tian Yaozong just found a reason to ask He Tian for money.
It's ridiculous that He Tian actually believed it and gave him all the money he had left in the family, which ultimately cost He Erniu his life!
"Oh, my baby, why are you choked? Hurry up and drink some water!" Mrs. Han hurriedly ran to pat her son on the back.
"This is all in the past. What do you mean by asking over and over again? Are you making your brother anxious?" Father Tian didn't care about pretending to be a loving father and scolded He Tian.
He Tian didn't say anything. Her eyes passed over Mrs. Han, Father Tian, and Tian Yaozong one by one. The last trace of fantasy and the last bit of warmth in her heart were completely annihilated.
Suddenly, the weak consciousness in his body seemed to dissipate, and He Tian's eyes became firm and calm!
"Arrived? I think he was scared, because he told a lie casually, but it caused my two cows to have to do hard labor."
"If Er Niu had not gone to work as a labor force, his whereabouts would not be unknown now!"
"You killed my husband, and now you want to sell my son!"
He Tian accused, one voice louder than the other, "Father! Mother! Are you still my biological father and mother? Do you regard me as your own flesh and blood?!"
"Tian Da Niu, you are an unfilial daughter, how dare you yell at your parents?"
Mrs. Han finally calmed down her son, but she was already in a bad mood. When she heard He Tian's "rebellious" words, she suddenly became furious.
"You ask me if I consider you my own flesh and blood? If you weren't born to me, how would I have raised you like this?"
"I have lost my conscience. I dare to yell at my own father and mother!"
"Unfilial white-eyed wolf, useless loser..."
Mrs. Han is really good at scolding her daughters, but in the past, the ones she scolded the most were her other three daughters.
Before He Tian got married, he was capable and obedient.
After getting married, not only can you continue to work for the family as before, but you can also provide money and food.
She seems to be the daughter that Mrs. Han is most satisfied with.
Therefore, Mrs. Han is quite kind to Mr. He Tian. Especially in recent years, she always praises her as "my eldest daughter is the most filial" and "my eldest daughter is the most sensible".
It was definitely the first time that He Tian was pointed at Mr. He Tian's nose and scolded for being unfilial, while also denouncing him as a loser.
However, Mrs. Han at this moment is the most real appearance.
He Tian should have been angry, aggrieved, and sad, but after the fragile consciousness deep in the sea of consciousness dissipated, her whole person became tough and strong.
"Am I unfilial? Am I a loser?"
He Tian stood up suddenly and said in a cold voice, "Okay, then I will act like an unfilial daughter, so as not to be scolded by you for nothing!"
Mr. He Tian discovered that trying to reason with such a group of natal family members was definitely playing the piano to an ox.
She shouldn't have anything to do with them, they just broke up with each other and had nothing to do with each other.
However, Father Tian was keenly aware of Daohe Tian's anger and quickly softened his expression.
He first scolded Mrs. Han, "Okay, old lady, the eldest girl loves the child, but you don't show consideration and still scold her!"
"She doesn't know that we are doing it for her own good. Slowly tell her the truth. Why are you saying such angry words?"
"Who said my eldest daughter is unfilial? My eldest daughter is the most filial and friendly brother!"
Having said this, Father Tian did not forget to give his son a wink.
Tian Yaozong received the signal and was secretly impatient, but he still said, "It's my fault, it's all my fault. If it weren't for my illness, my mother wouldn't be so anxious!"
"However, I was so anxious just now that I sweated a little and my body wasn't as heavy anymore."
Mrs. Han also understood what Father Tian meant, and deliberately acted awkwardly, saying, "Okay, okay, you are all good people, but I am the evil one!"
"Humph, who am I doing this day after day? No one is worried!"
"...I'm going to cook and make pancakes!"
Mrs. Han pretended to be cooking and never mentioned anything about selling Xiaobao again.
"Big girl, look at your mother, she's so mean-spirited, she scolds you, but she still remembers you in her heart. No, she went to make your favorite cakes for you -"
Father Tian tried his best to praise his wife's behavior.
But He Tian said quietly: "Dad, actually I like to eat meat the most!"
My mother-in-law also likes to eat sticky pancakes the most. If there is meat and white flour steamed buns, who would want to eat those kind of mixed flour pancakes that make your throat irritated?!
