"Ji Lang, look who's back?"

Mother excitedly pulled the warm wine to the window and showed it to father on the bed.

The father on the bed did not respond, so the woman continued:

"Erlang, our eldest girl is back, and she is free again."

The man on the bed looked haggard, with a pair of eyes tightly closed on his sunken cheeks. He opened them with a look of despair only when he heard the woman call him the second time.

After seeing Wen Meijiu clearly, his eyes suddenly widened, and a glimmer of light flashed in his gray pupils. He tried his best to straighten his upper body and sit up, but his ability did not allow it. Finally, he lay on the bed, crying bitterly:

"Why are you back? Go away, go away."

Wen Meijiu was completely confused. Before she could figure out what was going on, her mother turned around, covered her face and cried, and grabbed her hand and was about to send her out.

"Mom, why is this?"

Wen Meijiu couldn't help but question. She had just come back and hadn't done anything for the family yet. It was impossible for her to just leave like that.

Unable to pull Wen Meijiu, the mother cried even louder, saying intermittently:

"Your brother and sister have been taken away by Mr. Wang. If you don't want to end up like them, just listen to your father, right?"

Wen Meijiu had an impression of Mr. Wang, a man who was ruthless and ruthless. Her family had borrowed money from him before, but she had no idea how much money was borrowed from him because she had not handled it.

If her mother hadn't reminded her, she would have almost forgotten that the original owner had a ten-year-old sister and a five-year-old brother.

"Mom, I won't leave. I am the eldest in the family. Now that I am back, I have to shoulder the responsibilities of this family.

Don’t cry, tell me slowly, what is going on?

If an enemy comes, we will stop him; if a flood comes, we will block it with earth. There is nothing in this world that we cannot overcome."

"Girl, you are no match for them. When Mr. Wang came here, he brought a lot of people with him..."

After listening to his mother tell the whole story, Wen Meijiu clenched his fists tightly. He turned around and was about to leave, but was stopped by his mother who caught up with him.

In broad daylight, not only did he rob money, he even dared to rob people. This was too arrogant. How could Wen Meijiu tolerate this with her explosive temper? If she could take out the gun now, she would have to shoot Mr. Wang.

The Wen family owed him a total of two taels of silver. Not only did he steal four taels of silver, he also took his younger brothers and sisters away. No one knows how they are doing now.

"Mom, you take good care of Dad at home, I'll go check on him and be back soon.

I just don't believe it. There is no law in this world?"

Wen Meijiu had just pushed away his mother who was pulling him, and before he turned around, he heard someone fall to the ground behind him.

When she turned around, she saw her mother had fainted on the ground, unconscious.

Dad was lying on the bed, calling out in a hoarse voice:

"Jiao-niang, Jiao-niang."

Without bothering to look for Mr. Wang, Wen Meijiu quickly helped his mother up from the ground, carried her to the bed, and let her lie down next to his father.

"What happened, mother?"

Walking in the bloody wind and rain for many years, injuries are common. She has become a doctor after years of illness, so she quickly lifted her mother's eyelids to check the situation.

"She was hungry. All the food in the house was given to Dad. Dad is so useless."

Dad was like a child who had done something wrong, with his head drooping on the side of the bed, his hands covering it, looking extremely painful.

Wen Meijiu slapped her head. There was no food at home. She was so careless that she forgot about this matter.

Although there are things in the space, people who are extremely hungry cannot eat too much or too hard food right away. It is best to eat liquid food, and millet porridge is the best.

"Dad, look after mom. I'm going to borrow some food."

I remember that when my father was working in Lin County, my aunt often came to their house to borrow things and never returned them. Now it’s time for them to pay her back.

Arriving at the aunt's house in the east, Wen Meijiu was about to push the door open, but found that the gate was locked from the inside.

Why are you locking the door in broad daylight?

Without time to think about anything else, Wen Meijiu placed a stone next to the wall, leaned against the wall and shouted to the people in the house:

"Open the door, ma'am. I have something to talk to you about."

There was no movement in the room for a long time, as if there was really no one there.

But after careful observation, Wen Meijiu discovered that there was a shadow swaying in the room, so it must be someone.

Unwilling to give up, Wen Meijiu shouted four or five more times, but still no one came out.

Unable to wait any longer, she climbed over the wall into the yard and went straight into the house.

Before the man got close to the door, the wooden door opened with a loud bang.

A woman dressed relatively cleanly walked out of the house with a stern face, as if someone owed her two hundred loads of black beans.

"Meijiu, when did you become so unruly?"

Knowing that the old lady was not a pushover, he warmed up the wine and offered courtesy before using force, smiling and saying:

"Auntie, my mother fainted from hunger, and I was anxious. You didn't open the door for me, so I jumped in."

The old lady put her hands in her sleeves, stood sideways at the door, and snorted coldly:

"Your mother is fainted from hunger, go find your aunt, she has plenty of surplus food.

We are a poor family, we can't even get enough to eat, how can we lend you food?"

"No, Auntie, when my father was working outside, your family was in trouble and he came to my house to borrow a lot of food, but my mother never asked for it.

Every family has its days when they are short of food. Now my family is short of food. Please return me a bowl of millet. If you need more later, I will definitely give you double the amount."

When Wen Meijiu said this, he deliberately did not dare to sound too harsh, for fear of being accused of seeking credit or debt.

"Oh! You are so arrogant! Your father and mother don't dare to talk to me like this. How dare you, a little girl, talk to me like this?

I did borrow some tattered things from your house at the beginning, but think about it honestly, didn't your aunt take more at the beginning, and how much did I get?

If your family had no use for those things, would you be so kind as to let me take them?

Your aunt took so much, why don't you ask her for more? Why are you here to yell at me?"

Wen Meijiu was so angry that her lungs were about to explode. There really were ungrateful people in this world. All her self-blame just now was in vain.

Blinking his eyelashes, Wen Meijiu crossed his arms over his chest, raised his chin, and asked:

"Can I believe what you say?

Why did my mother tell me that you got so many good things?"

The old lady curled her lips, her eyes full of disdain, and squinted at Wen Meijiu and said:

"Your mother is really good at flattering herself. She even lied to a little kid. No wonder your father was so angry that he wanted to strangle himself."

Don't hit people in the face, don't expose people's weaknesses, she did it on purpose.

A mouthful of blood blocked Wen Meijiu's throat and she almost jumped up on the spot. She thought that it would be beneath her dignity to fight with such a shrew.

She knew clearly that something happened in her family, but she just closed the door and pretended not to know!

Very good, let's see how she deals with this old bitch.

"Auntie, you say one thing, and my mother says another, and I don't know who to believe.

How about this, you take me to see the things you borrowed from my house before, and then I will go to my aunt's house to take a look. If what you said is true, then I will go to my aunt to borrow food, do you think it's okay?"
