"You went into the mountain to dig out the sticks by yourself, without anyone else. Many people in the village had objections and found your uncle's place."
The Zhao and Xu families have a good relationship, so of course they have to tell Xu Shiyan about this and let him be on guard.
The human heart is like this, if everyone is not doing well, no one will have anything to say.
But others are still suffering, having to work hard every day to earn work points, but Xu Shiyan has made a lot of money. There must be someone who is unbalanced.
"Although you asked Uncle Zhao to push these people back, I'm afraid they might do something else." Mrs. Zhao looked worried.
"Also, the Chen family has been saying everywhere in the past two days that the black blind bird you killed was strangled to death by their Chen Yongfu on the mountain, and you picked it up from his family."
Not many people took these words seriously at first, but they couldn't resist what the Chen family said, and now many people believe it.
"The Chen family went to your mother's place to make trouble. You must be careful when you come back today."
Mrs. Zhao said everything that needed to be said. She really thought about Xu Shiyan.
The more Xu Shiyan listened, the more ridiculous he felt. How dare the Chen family think about it.
How could those few birdies in his family still lay traps? Why didn’t he go to heaven?
"Thank you, aunt, I know about this.
That black blind man was not trapped at all, I have a way to prove this, don't worry, aunt."
No matter what, Xu Shiyan would definitely appreciate the kind reminder.
"Okay, I'll rest assured that you know what's going on.
Go home quickly, your mother has been worried for the past two days, so go take a look when you get back." Mrs. Zhao waved her hands with a smile, turned around and left.
"Let's go and see our mother first." Xu Shiyan sighed and led his wife straight to the Xu family.
As soon as Xu Shiyan and his wife entered the village, a little boy came to deliver a message to the Xu family.
Before the couple could enter the courtyard, they saw Xu Shiqin, the sixth eldest son of the Xu family, and Xu Jinfeng and Xu Jinxiu, two girls from Xu Shixian's family, rushing out of the courtyard.
"Third brother, you are finally back. Our mother has been going crazy these past two days, talking about it all day long." Xu Shiqin was very happy to see his brother.
"How's it going? Is the road safe? As soon as you leave, our mother is worried, just because she's afraid that something will go wrong on the road."
Xu Shiqin looked at his brother and sister-in-law up and down. They looked good, and he was finally relieved.
“It’s pretty good. I take the train back and forth and it’s safe on the road.
The key is that your brother is so inconspicuous, he looks like a jerk, and no one thinks highly of me."
Xu Shiyan smiled, in fact, it's okay and quite safe outside these days. But in a few years, it will be called chaos.
"Let's go home. I bought a lot of things, including a gift from you."
Xu Shiyan raised his hand and rubbed the top of the girl's head, deliberately messing up her combed hair.
Xu Shiqin was not annoyed, he just smiled and patted his brother's hand away, and asked curiously, "What did you buy for me?"
"There are a lot of them. Let's go inside and take a look."
If Xu Shiyan is still somewhat nostalgic for the Xu family, apart from the old lady Zhou Guilan, it is his younger sister Xu Shiqin.
Xu Shiqin, the sixth eldest son of the Xu family, is eighteen years old and was born after the Xu family moved to Daying.
This child's fate was not good. Life was difficult when he was born.
Everyone is hungry and malnourished.
How could Zhou Guilan give birth to a healthy child if she didn't have enough to eat while pregnant?
When Xu Shiqin was born, she was as thin and small as a kitten. She was born with deficiencies and was always sick. I don’t know how much energy was spent on raising her.
Xu Shiqin was in poor health, so in winter he spent all day on the kang, surrounded by a quilt and a brazier in front of him.
One evening in the winter when he was three years old, Xu Shiqin wanted to go to the field to relieve himself. He happened to catch up with Zhou Guilan cooking, and everyone else in the family was also busy.
Six-year-old Xu Shixiang carried his sister to the ground, and then carried her to the kang after relieving herself.
It is already strenuous enough to carry a six-year-old baby and a three-year-old baby, but when it comes to getting on the kang, Xu Shiqin can only be lifted up.
Originally, Xu Shiqin's physique was not very good, and he was always at home and did not go out. His bones were brittle. In addition, the two children used improper force, and their spine was damaged.
No one cared about it at the time. In the next few days, Xu Shiqin complained that she had a stomachache. Zhou Guilan gave her some medicine and stopped complaining after a few days.
But unexpectedly, a bump slowly grew on Xu Shiqin's back, turning into a hunchback.
Because of this Luo Guoer, Xu Shiqin is only a little over 1.5 meters tall.
She is a beautiful girl with pretty features and a clever mind, but because of this hunchback, her marriage has become a problem.
Even though they were already in their twenties, there was no one to introduce someone to them, so the Xu family sighed and sighed all day long.
It wasn't until 1984 that 25-year-old Xu Shiqin was introduced to Liang Shulin, who was six years older than her.
Liang Shulin was the eldest son of the Liang family. His family was poor and he couldn't find a wife. He didn't marry Xu Shiqin until he was in his thirties.
After they got married, they gave birth to a son, who was very good-looking with thick eyebrows and big eyes.
Unexpectedly, at the age of twenty-eight, he contracted acute renal failure and died of uremia.
Xu Shiqin was not in good health to begin with, and the death of her son was a huge blow to her. She also died of cardiopulmonary syndrome the next year.
There are six brothers and sisters in the Xu family. The second oldest, Xu Shian, died of stomach cancer in 1985. The remaining five are Xu Shiyan and Xu Shiqin.
The two families lived close to each other and helped each other with anything, so Xu Shiyan had the deepest affection for this sister.
I don't know if reviving my life can change my little sister's fate? Then Luo Guo'er may not be able to do anything about it, given the current medical level.
Maybe, save more money, wait for the medical conditions to improve in a few years, and try to go to the capital?
Try your best, as long as you have some hope, you have to give it a try.
"Uncle Third, are there any gifts for us?"
As soon as they heard that my aunt had a gift, the two little girls opened their eyes wide and asked curiously.
"Yes, yes." Xu Shiyan stretched out his hand and pinched Xu Jinxiu's fleshy face.
The brothers of the Xu family were not that good, but the children of the younger generation were all good, and they were also very kind to Xu Shiyan, and they never said they looked down upon this poor uncle.
So when he was in Tonghua, Xu Shiyan bought everything for his children. No matter how much it was, it was his uncle's heart.
As soon as they heard that they also had gifts, the two little girls clapped their hands happily, turned around and ran into the yard.
"Mistress, my third uncle and third aunt are back and bought some things." The two little girls shouted excitedly.
Zhou Guilan heard this and came out of the house, just in time to meet Xu Shiyan and his wife.
"It's good to be back. I'm still worried at home. How's it going? Is Yingzi okay?" Zhou Guilan asked hurriedly when she saw her son and daughter-in-law.
"Well, I'm just a little anemic. I'll prescribe some medicine and just go home and take care of myself slowly." Xu Shiyan told the truth.
"The child is still young and can't see anything right now. The doctor said that if you are worried, you should go to the hospital frequently for check-ups."
In these days, women in cities may still know about prenatal check-ups, but people in the countryside don't understand them at all.
