Rebirth: The whole family travels through time together: Fubao Koi is busy eating melons
Chapter 4 If you want money, go get it yourself
"Bah! You little disaster, how dare you talk back? If Big Kid loses the chance to go to school in town because of you, I'll be the first one to sell you!"
The granddaughter's tears made Old Mrs. Zhang regain her dignity as an elder. She glared at Zhang Laoer's family who dared to contradict her, and her dissatisfaction grew more and more intense.
Old Lady Zhang snorted coldly and ordered the people behind her, "Why are you still standing there? Hurry up and throw them into the river. If you delay any longer, all the money will be washed away!"
Provoked by this, several men who wanted to stand aside and watch had to step forward to persuade them: "Second brother, second sister-in-law, don't blame our parents for being cruel. As soon as you came back, you caused the family to lose so much money, and the whole family is starving. If we can't find the money, we can't live like this. The creek is not deep, it's okay if you fell in just now, go down and look for it."
Xu Liyun snatched the branch from Old Lady Zhang and sneered at Old Zhang: "Brother, are you trying to force me into the river?"
"Second sister-in-law, what you said is too much." Zhang Laosan sensed that the atmosphere was not right, and quickly stood on the side of his eldest brother, "You are the ones who lost the silver, so of course you have to find it back. Don't worry, Wu Ya and You Niang are still young, and I won't let them get into trouble. You guys find the silver back quickly, and let mother feel relieved."
Zhang Fu turned his gaze to his usually taciturn second son: "Second son, don't make your mother upset. Put Xiao Youniang down quickly and let's go to the river to pick up silver."
When Xiao Youniang heard this, she hugged her father even tighter: "If Daddy and Mommy don't go, neither will my brothers and sisters! I'll go and pick up the silver. If your clothes get wet, you'll catch a cold!"
The little girl's voice was almost hoarse from crying, but she stubbornly refused to let them get close to the river.
She remembered how miserable she felt when she was sick and didn't want her family to go through that pain again.
Xiao Youniang didn't want her family to suffer.
Old Mrs. Zhang couldn't bear it anymore and wanted to pull Xiao Youniang out of her son's arms, thinking that she had to teach this child a lesson!
But as soon as she stretched out her hand, Xu Liyun grabbed it. Her hands, so thin that they were almost skin and bones, tightly grasped Old Lady Zhang's arm with such strength that it seemed as if they could crush her bones.
Old Mrs. Zhang cried out in pain.
The head of the Zhang family rushed forward, but before he could take any action, he was kicked into the river by Xu Liyun!
Zhang Fugang raised his hand to teach this disobedient daughter-in-law a lesson, but was kicked away by Xu Liyun!
When the third son of the Zhang family swung his punch, she kicked back deftly!
Finally, it was the crying old lady Zhang, whose wrist was controlled by Xu Liyun.
There were four loud splashes, and the Zhang family members who were rushing to go into the river just now were now all soaked in the water.
"If you want silver, go get it yourself!"
The river water was freezing cold in the autumn night, and the four people shivered as soon as they entered the water. Especially Mrs. Zhang and Zhang Laoda, neither of them could swim, so they had to desperately hold on to Zhang Laosan and his son.
The little girl was fascinated by her mother's heroic kick. Her little mouth opened into an "O" shape, and her bright eyes stared at Xu Liyun, her heart full of admiration for her mother.
My mother is the most capable person in the family, and she is very decisive when fighting.
Little You Niang never imagined that her own mother, whom she had never met, would be so powerful.
Xu Liyun ignored the complaints after falling into the water, clapped her hands, and asked everyone to go home and change clothes to avoid catching a cold and getting sick.
When Xiao Youniang heard that they were going home, her eyes lit up and she happily led the way.
Not long after, the family returned to Zhang's courtyard.
Little You Niang broke free from her father's arms, took the initiative to open the door, and jumped quickly on her short legs, leading the group to the woodshed where she lived.
The Zhang family's yard is not small, but the good houses are divided among Zhang Lao Da and Zhang Lao San. The house that should have belonged to Zhang Lao Er is also occupied by his grandson Zhang Dawa.
Only the small and dilapidated woodshed in the yard was allocated to Xiao Youniang as a "special favor".
Half of the narrow space was filled with hay and firewood, and the other half was barely occupied by a shabby wooden bed.
The bed was made of hay, and the bedding was very thin.
Zhang Laoer touched the quilt. The filling was unknown and it felt cold, without any warmth at all.
The little girl was unaware of the simplicity of the room. Like a mature little adult, she picked up firewood and went to the kitchen to make a fire and boil water. She also took out her own handkerchief to wipe everyone's face.
She thought to herself how nice it would be if she could find some clean clothes for her parents and brothers and sisters to change into, but the one she was wearing was already the best, so how could she dare touch her grandparents' clothes?
I remember that time when my little daughter sneaked into my grandparents' room, but my grandmother mistook her for a thief and gave her a good beating, and she didn't even get to eat dinner. From then on, my little daughter, who was hungry, never dared to go near that room again.
Thinking of this, Xiao Youniang felt filled with guilt and dared not look directly at her parents' faces.
She hopped to the kitchen on her short legs and brought bowls of hot water to her family.
Xu Liyun and Zhang Laoer were afraid that she would get burned, so they quickly took it.
Zhang Sanwa noticed the unwashed stains on the edge of the bowl, and a hint of displeasure flashed across his face, but he quickly concealed it.
Little Youniang didn't notice this, and she brought the hot water to her elder brother with a smile: "Brother, drink it quickly, you won't get sick if you drink the hot water!"
Zhang Sanwa wanted to refuse, but when he saw Xiao Youniang's hands were scalded red by the hot water, he swallowed his words and could only reach out to take the bowl.
Zhang Siwa and Zhang Wuya didn't say much and gladly accepted her kindness. After all, their hands and feet were still cold and they needed hot water to warm up their bodies.
"You need to drink more hot water to stay healthy. Dad, mom, brothers and sisters, listen to your mother. It hurts to be sick."
Xiao Youniang imitated the tone of a traveling doctor and gave everyone instructions with a serious face.
Zhang Laoer's heart softened at the little adult's appearance, and Xu Liyun gently pulled the little girl to her side: "You are called Youniang, right? How come you know how to do so many things at such a young age?"
The little girl felt the warmth of maternal love for the first time, and her cheeks flushed quietly: "I didn't do much. Grandma said that raising me is very expensive. I have to do more and be a good child, otherwise she will sell me."
As she spoke, she tilted her head, her eyes full of curiosity: "Mom, what does it mean to sell it?"
Xu Liyun's face darkened when she heard this, and the others couldn't help but look at the ignorant little girl, their eyes full of heartache.
Zhang Laoer asked again: "Youniang, why don't you live in the main house, but live in the woodshed instead? There are many holes here, and the roof is leaking. What will we do if it rains and blows?"
"Grandma said this is our home. Our family is poor and we don't have any other rooms. This is what Grandma gave us. It's not broken, really! When it rains, I sleep against the headboard. I also spread straw on the bed, so it's quite warm!"
Xiao Youniang was afraid that her parents would be unhappy and leave her again, so she patted the bed board that was covered with straw but still cold and hard, trying to prove that this small bed that had been with her for a long time was actually very comfortable.
