But the problem is, their Tian family can't afford it.
Especially now that they are fleeing from famine! Fleeing from famine!
It would be nice to be able to eat. Without seeing their Yaozong, I could only accept pancakes.
Tian Da Niu, a married girl, actually had the nerve to argue in front of her father about her "favorite meat".
Why doesn't she go to heaven?
This damn girl looked fine in the past, but what happened today?
Is your brain broken or you're being bullied? Why do you always say such irritating bastard things?
Alas, it is probably because the old lady proposed to sell Xiaobao today that she was irritated.
No matter how stupid the big girl is, ah, no, no matter how filial the big girl is, she is still a mother.
He Xiaobao is just the meat that fell from her body, and he is still a boy. How can a big girl be willing to sell it so easily?
The old woman is too, she was too hasty, she has just started to escape from the famine, and she still doesn’t know the hardships on the way.
When she suffers herself, she will know that she can live a better life by selling Xiaobao, a burden!
Father Tian was thinking randomly in his mind, but an awkward smile appeared on his face: "Yes, yes! I like to eat meat. So what, when we get to Fucheng and escape the famine, we will just eat meat!"
When people flee from famine, they don't just run around aimlessly. They basically run towards the most prosperous areas they can reach.
Those in remote areas run to Fucheng. If you can't find a way to survive in Fucheng, then go to the capital!
Therefore, the first target of Father Tian and his group is Fucheng, which is more than 600 miles away from Tianjiawa.
Now, if Father Tian wants to write a bad check, draw a big picture, or appease his precious son, he will subconsciously say "wait until we get to Fucheng"!
It seems as if Fucheng is the paradise they dream of. Wherever they go, they can have enough food, clothing, and live a good and stable life!
He Tianshi:...Haha, I believe your lies!
With your couple's patriarchal attitude, can my son and I arrive in Fucheng smoothly?
This is not because He Tian deliberately slandered his biological father and mother, but that they have proven through practical actions that they are selfish, cold-blooded and calculating.
We had just begun to escape from famine. We had donkey carts and food, but we were not at the end of our rope yet. As a result, Mrs. Han began to persuade her daughter to sell her grandson!
If we continue to walk for a while, the food will be exhausted little by little, and even the donkeys used to pull goods and people will be slaughtered for meat, and the family will reach the point where they cannot survive without selling people. He Tian has no doubt at all.
, even her biological daughter will be pushed out by Mrs. Han and Father Tian for "sacrifice"!
When that time comes, being sold may be a blessing.
There is a saying called "Change children and eat them"!
If a person is in a desperate situation, cannibalism is really just an instinct.
"Wait until we get to Fucheng"!
Yes, this may be what Father Tian is thinking.
However, the "we" identified by Father Tian definitely does not include He Tian's mother and son.
Even his sister-in-law, Mrs. Wang, is probably more important to Mr. Tian than Mrs. He Tian.
The He Tian family is a throwaway person, but the Wang family is a daughter-in-law who has come into the family and can carry on the Tian family's family lineage!
After all the tossing just now, Mr. He Tian really woke up.
Many things that she could not see clearly or grasp in the past have become extremely clear and conspicuous.
After realizing these heart-wrenching truths, He Tian was naturally sad, but after being sad, he felt happy.
Fortunately, she woke up in time and it didn't cause a big disaster.
Her little baby is also still——
Wait, where is Xiaobao?
It was only then that Mr. He Tian realized that his son was never there when he was arguing with his parents.
Mrs. He Tian felt panicked, fearing that the child had been secretly taken away and sold by her own mother.
She quickly suppressed the panic in her heart, calmed down, and thought about it carefully.
After a while, He Tian remembered that although her little baby was only six years old, he was only one and a half years older than the fat nephew who was held in the arms of his sister-in-law.
However, since he was born, his mother has been a devil who only cares about her family.
He Tian could even sacrifice herself for her parents, her biological brother, and her biological nephew, let alone her biological son who she recognized as her property.
He Xiaobao has a biological father, but his biological father works as a escort outside all year round in order to make money.
He Xiaobao has a biological mother, but her biological mother only sees a group of people from the Tian family.
Everyone has the instinct to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. No matter how ignorant a child is, he can keenly feel whether his parents are trustworthy or not.
Obviously, in He Xiaobao's view, He Erniu and He Tian were both people who could not be counted on.
He can only rely on himself.
It's not that He Xiaobao was forced by his environment and parents to become a selfish, cold-blooded person who only cares about himself.
He just understood the hardships of his life and was extremely precocious.
Especially after He Erniu disappeared, He Tian was alone at home with Xiaobao, and there was constant trouble caused by war and bandits outside. She was frightened, so she moved to Tianjiawa with her family's grain reserves and valuable belongings.
He Xiaobao stayed with his mother at his grandmother's house and began living under the roof of others.
He Xiaobao was already precocious, and it was indeed difficult for him to live in the care of others.
Mrs. Han accused Sang and scolded Huai. Father Tian said he was distressed, but he loved his own grandson even more.
Even his own mother, seeing his grievances with her own eyes, would only let him endure it and repeatedly told him to be obedient and sensible!
Therefore, knowing his situation, the precocious He Xiaobao took the initiative to help with this and that at a young age.
Firstly, He Xiaobao was afraid of being disliked by others.
Secondly, He Xiaobao also had a deep fear in his heart, fearing that if he could not work, he would be abandoned by his relatives.
After fleeing famine with the villagers in Tianjiawa, He Xiaobao's inner fear reached its peak when he saw poor farmers selling their sons and daughters with straw placards on the roadside.
He worked harder to help.
His cousin, who is younger but taller and stronger than him, can be put on a donkey cart or held by his mother Wang.
He Xiaobao, who is dark and thin, not only has to walk all the way, but also helps adults push the cart when it goes uphill or when it gets stuck in a mud pit.
After walking for a day, everyone found a suitable place to stay. Even the adults were so tired that they just wanted to rest. He Xiaobao didn't even need to be told by Mrs. Han, so he took the initiative to drag his aching body to dig wild vegetables and find food.
Others praised He Xiaobao for being sensible.
However, only He Xiaobao himself knows that he is not sensible, he is afraid and does not want to be abandoned!
Same today.
Father Tian grabbed a small cave to stay in. He Xiaobao first followed the He Tian family to clean up. After Tian Yaozong lay comfortably in the cave and pretended to be sick, He Xiaobao took the initiative to run to the woods nearby to look for wild vegetables.
Gather firewood.
He Tian thought about it carefully, then looked at the sky outside the cave, estimated the time, and came up with a rough guess.
"I'm going to see Xiaobao, he should be back!"
He Tian stood up suddenly and ignored Father Tian's "warm" words. He left these words and ran out of the cave.
"...Yes, yes, go and see Xiaobao! Ask him to come back for dinner."
Father Tian was very disapproving. What are you looking at? Isn't it normal for children to do some work?
Father Tian has suffered from selective blindness for a long time. He is also a child. He only sees He Xiaobao idle, but he does not see that his fat grandson has reached what he calls the age where he can work!
However, Father Tian is used to pretending. Especially when He Tianshi had an attack just now, Father Tian could only follow her words and say something casually.
However, looking at He Tian's hurried back, the signature silly smile on Father Tian's face slowly disappeared, replaced by a deep coldness.
I can’t keep this daughter!
He Tian didn't know what Father Tian was thinking. She came out of the cave and started looking around with the cave as the center.
Finally, on a deserted slope, He Tian finally found He Xiaobao, who was carrying a bundle of firewood but still looking for wild vegetables.
"Xiaobao!"
It had only been half a day since I last saw him, but it seemed like half a lifetime had passed since He Tian.
She shouted excitedly and ran up to He Xiaobao in three steps and two steps.
"...Mother?" He Xiaobao was so pressed by the firewood that he could hardly stand upright.
He raised his head with difficulty, listened to the sound, and found that he had no auditory hallucinations. His mother was really looking for him.
However, He Xiaobao was not in a hurry to be happy, but was a little worried——
Mom came here specially. Could it be that something happened again?
Even though He Xiaobao is only six years old, he already has a very clear understanding: in his mother's mind, the most important thing is his parents, followed by his younger brother, and thirdly his nephew.
As for He Xiaobao, he has no weight at all in his mother's heart.
His mother would never come to him specifically because she felt distressed or missed her.
During this time, my mother would have been busy serving her parents, or working as a cow or horse for her younger brother.
However, this time He Xiaobao thought wrong.
He Tian came to He Xiaobao and picked up the firewood on his back without saying a word.
"Mom?!" He Xiaobao was even more frightened. Could it be that his mother finally thought he was useless and wasting food and wanted to throw him away?
"Mom, here, there are some grass roots here. I, I don't want to eat anymore. I can just eat these grass roots -"
So, don't throw me away.
He Xiaobao's beautiful Danfeng eyes showed fear and a faint glimmer of water.
Seeing He Xiaobao's frightened look, He Tian was confused at first - I didn't do anything for this child, what are you afraid of?
But soon, starting from today, He Tian, whose brain became particularly easy to use, understood.
My son is scared.
Whether he is worried that he will be abandoned or that his mother will hurt him, it only means one thing -
She, He Tian, is really, really, really unqualified as a biological mother!
"It's simply the best, so girly, not worthy of being a mother!"
He Tian secretly despised herself in her heart. Although it seemed a little strange to scold herself, she really couldn't help it!
Where in the world is there a mother-in-law like He Tian?
Okay, it’s okay for you to miss your mother’s family and feel sorry for your brother and nephew.
But, just contribute yourself, why drag down innocent people?
Even if the child is born by oneself, after he is born, he will be an independent individual and not someone's property!
Why did He Tian let He Xiaobao suffer everything for her?
A six-year-old child, when he should have trusted his mother the most, what happened?
He Tian was very angry with her former self, but she knew that now was not the time to despise herself.
"Nonsense! How can you eat grass roots? Your grandma made pancakes. Let's go back to eat pancakes and drink vegetable soup!"
Holding back his self-blame and raging tears, He Tian cleared his throat and spoke softly to He Xiaobao.
Hearing the words "sticking pancakes", He Xiaobao swallowed his saliva subconsciously.
He was a little agitated, and his stomach was growling non-stop.
But in the end, he still shook his head with difficulty, "Grandma said, we don't have much food, and I am a freeloader, so I can't eat too much!"
He Xiaobao was definitely not complaining in front of his own mother, because "eating for free" was already the mildest word among the many curses of Mrs. Han.
There were more ugly words, but He Xiaobao couldn't say them at all.
It’s not that I don’t want to, it’s just that it’s useless even if I say it.
Not to mention that my mother just listened to these words, even if she saw her grandma pointing at his nose and scolding the little wolf cub for not being fed enough, she would only blame him for being ignorant and making the elders angry.
"What are you doing for free? Xiaobao, you have forgotten that when mother took you back to your grandma's house, she brought a donkey cart full of food."
"And that braying donkey also belongs to our He family."
He Tian no longer wanted to scold herself, because no matter how much she scolded, it could not offset the harm she had done to her own flesh and blood!
If you have the strength to scold yourself, you might as well take good care of your son!
He Tian bent down and easily picked up her son with only one hand.
Her body is really strong. She looks very thin and doesn't have enough to eat all the time, but she is as strong as an ox.
Carrying firewood in one hand and a six-year-old boy weighing twenty to thirty kilograms in the other, He Tian did it effortlessly.
"Xiaobao, go over there. It was my mother who was confused. She won't be able to do it anymore!"
"Mom will take good care of our little treasure and feed him until he is white and fat——"
I weighed my son's weight with one hand and found that it was only about thirty kilograms.
This is a six-year-old boy. Logically speaking, he should weigh at least more than 40 pounds.
He is also obviously lacking in height.
His face is sallow, his hair is sparse, and his hands are like chicken claws, with no flesh at all except skin.
He Tian sniffed, rubbed his head against the child, and wiped away the distressed tears.
Although He Xiaobao was surprised that his mother was acting strangely today, he was deeply moved as he was rarely held by his mother and heard her apology.
The original alienation from my mother seemed to have disappeared.
Alas, I can only say that children are naturally close to their parents.
Even if his mother has neglected or even abused him, as long as his mother comforts him with gentle words and gives him a warm hug, the child can forget everything and continue to choose to trust his mother.
No matter how precocious He Xiaobao is, he is only a six-year-old child.
Therefore, after hearing these words from his mother, he was no longer afraid. Instead, he was interested in discussing with his mother, "Mom, are you fatter than Fugui?"
"Yes, she is fatter than him! But our little one is prettier."
As a normal mother, you should look after your children.
Nephews are relatives, but they cannot transcend their own flesh and blood!
From today on, He Tian will be a "son slave". She will make up for all the mistreatment of her son in the past...
