Quick travel to save a miserable life

That night, after Zhang Shitou and Zhang Dazhu came back, they began to build the wall. The three women worked on the side. The family worked until midnight, and finally built the adobe brick wall.

The two steamed buns that Lin Hui brought back were a snack for the two men.

The next night, the family lit a bonfire for lighting, covered the roof, and pasted a layer of mud on the braided roof. Zhang Shitou said that this layer was probably not strong enough and another layer needed to be added. .

So, Dayong and Xiaoyong used the two children to find branches and drag them home during the day. After Lin Hui finished her work in the kitchen, she went home and braided the branches together. When the others came back, she put them on the roof and then glued them together. A layer of mud will prevent water leakage from raining, and it can also block wind and cold in winter.

Although the underground nest was ready, the moisture inside had not dissipated, and it was still uninhabitable for the next few days. Zhang Shitou and Zhang Dazhu used their free time in the past few days to combine branches and straw to make several doors.

Actually speaking, such a door can't actually block anything, but refugees like them don't have much wealth themselves, and it's impossible to have anything valuable in the house, so right now such a door can only block the wind. enough.

Lin Hui was extremely looking forward to the fact that the nest in the ground could be dried quickly, the door could be finished as soon as possible, and she and her daughter could move in as soon as possible.

Because she had reached the limit of her patience with the Zhang family, she was waiting for the two of them to return to the west after all the work was done.

If Zhang Erzhu is the culprit responsible for the death of the original mother and daughter, then this old couple is the biggest accomplice and helper.

Without their guidance and encouragement, the instigator Zhang Erzhu would never have the guts to do such an evil act that goes against human ethics. Moreover, this old couple can be said to be downright evil.

If they were mean to the original body because he had no blood relationship with them and was an outsider who married in, then Zhang Erzhu must always be their biological son. But when Zhang Erzhu died, the coldness they showed was enough to make people laugh. Sideways glance.

Even Zhang Dazhu, who always liked to compete with his second brother, was sad for several days because of his brother's death. But this old man and old lady didn't care about Zhang Erzhu before his death. A few tears were shed, but there was no more sad behavior after that.

Even, because they were afraid of offending the village chief and affecting their future life in the village, they didn't even dare to pursue Zhang Erzhu's death, and let him die in vain.

Although Zhang Erzhu deserved his death, it is rare for a parent to treat his biological son so coldly.

Lin Hui had long been interested in murdering them, but because they had not been settled before and there was some use in keeping them, she never took action.

During this period, Mrs. Zhang Shen also felt disgusted with Lin Hui, especially after Zhang Erzhu's death. She never forgot to mention the fact that she was a widow, both inside and outside her words, and that she must be loyal and honorable to Erzhu.

It seemed that without her warning, Lin Hui might steal someone or remarry at any time.

Especially the full malice in her tone was really disgusting.

As for Zhang Shitou, let alone him. He is the most vicious person in the Zhang family. He likes to let his wife take the lead in everything, and let others bear his bad reputation. In the end, he became a good guy, ha!

Ten days after Lin Hui came to help in the kitchen, their basement was finally completed and they were ready to move in!

Although the room where Lin Hui and Cui Ya live is only three meters long and wide, and you can reach the roof with your hand, it is already much better than the original open-air tent.

So, that night, Lin Hui brought a bowl of brown rice from the big kitchen to Zhang Shitou and Zhang Shen, and watched them finish eating before taking the bowl away.

During this period, Lin Hui was distributing meals in the big kitchen every day. She saw the group of people who followed Zhang Daniu, their already weak bodies getting thinner and weaker, until they could no longer work and were eliminated from the labor force. Team.

Because they could no longer work to earn food rations and money, and instead needed support and care from their families, they were quickly disliked.

These people have no obvious injuries, neither coughing nor fever, but they are getting weaker and weaker. It can only be said that they have a strange disease, but it is not a serious illness. They, the refugees, will not call a doctor.

But by the time the doctor was called, it was already too late. The patient had already run out of oil and there was nothing anyone could do to save him.

Because there were several cases of this disease among these outsiders, the village chief was frightened, thinking that they had brought some epidemic disease. Later, he asked a doctor to see if it was not the case, and he was relieved.

After these people were buried in a crude manner, Zhang Shitou and his wife began to become too sick to get up.

Zhang Dazhu had already heard about the illness of several young people in the same village. He knew that his parents had the same strange disease as them, and that they would inevitably die in the end, so he no longer called for a doctor in vain, but began to quietly He began to inquire about the price of the coffin.

The old couple of the Zhang family had a strong desire to survive and wanted to ask a doctor to treat them. However, when they found out that they were seriously ill, they could no longer get out of bed. At this point, it was not up to them to decide whether to ask a doctor or not. Got it!

However, Zhang Dazhu did not spend money to hire a doctor for them, nor did he deliberately mistreat them, nor did he deprive them of food and drink every day.

In Zhang Dazhu's words: "I have done my duty as a child, and I have a clear conscience. There is really no need to spend unreasonable money on a doctor. After all, doctors can cure diseases but not lives!"

Half a month later, Zhang and his wife died. After Zhang Dazhu and the whole family cried bitterly, he put his parents into two thin coffins that he had bought a long time ago and buried them in a mass grave outside the village. .

As a result, the entire Zhang family began to mourn.

However, mourning in poor families is not so strict, and there are not so many taboos. The most important thing is to survive.

It is nonsense to ask them to stay behind closed doors and observe filial piety just because their parents died!

Because of the death of Zhang and his wife, they were only delayed for three days. The day after the old couple was buried, the Zhang family went to work as scheduled.

This funeral was organized by Zhang Dazhu. It was very simple. Lin Hui didn't interfere at all. She just cried along with it. She didn't know how much it cost.

Similarly, Zhang Dazhu and his wife did not mention anything to her about the money left by the old couple, as if the money did not exist at all.

In fact, Lin Hui always knew that the old couple had money in their hands. She didn't know the specific amount, but it should be more than three taels and less than five taels.

The money should now be in Zhang Dazhu's hands, because after her parents-in-law were buried, she saw joy on Shen Xiuhua's face that had cried bitterly.

This woman's scheming was limited. Although she thought she was hiding her joy well, Lin Hui still saw it.

But Lin Hui was too lazy to argue with them so much. When the old couple went away, they went to two big mountains above her. No one could control her legitimately.

Therefore, as soon as the funeral was completed, she immediately offered to share the cooking pot with Zhang Dazhu and his wife.

Perhaps they felt a little guilty because they had taken the money left by their parents, so the elder couple agreed without much hesitation.

Although she was only given a clay pot and a few handfuls of old rice, Lin Hui still felt indescribably refreshing and relaxed. She hated all the bad people and things. If she could keep the older couple away from her life Enough!
