I have a mall space system, raise the baby first and then fight

Shen Lianxin looked at Aunt Zhang and wondered, why did they sell the second child? Why not the first, third, or fourth child? So she asked, "Why did they say they sold the second child, and not someone else?"

"Your eldest son is able to work, could you bear to sell him? The third son is a sickly child, you can't sell him anyway, what's the matter? Did you sell him to the little girl? Oh my, the little girl is only 3 years old, you black-hearted person." Aunt Zhang was about to hit her.

Shen Lianxin quickly dodged to the side and said, "No, no, no one sold it."

Aunt Zhang stopped and asked hurriedly, "Really? I tell you, if you sell the child, you will regret it sooner or later."

Shen Lianxin smiled, "Really? These are the cubs I gave birth to after ten months of hard work. How can I sell them? Besides, didn't you say that Hunter Gu is a good person? How can I sell his children?"

Seeing that Shen Lianxin was different from usual and really explained to her patiently, and did not think she was meddling in other people's business, her expression improved a little, "Then where did you get the money?" Logically speaking, she shouldn't interfere with other people's money, but she really felt uneasy if she didn't ask clearly.

Shen Lianxin didn't care. "The man who died in my family left me this jade pendant. He secretly gave it to me when I got married. He said it was a family heirloom. I pawned it and bought some delicious food for the children."

Shen Lianxin just talked nonsense, and she could just push the blame onto Gu Dingbei, since there was no evidence after all.

Aunt Zhang thought about it and felt bad, "That's a souvenir from your family, are you willing to give it away?" Then she thought again, why bother to keep it as a souvenir when you can't even eat. She sighed and said, "Just sell it. You should cheer up in the future and stop drinking. It's not only harmful to your health, but you still have to take care of the children. You don't even know what the villagers say about you..."

Aunt Zhang was embarrassed and frowned again, "Humph, you won't listen even if I tell you. You are just an alcoholic. Look at how useless you are."

Shen Lianxin was speechless. Why did he start to criticize her while they were talking? But she still responded, "I know. I won't drink anymore."

Aunt Zhang raised her eyes and felt that Shen Lianxin was very different today. But she couldn't believe it, so she turned away and stopped talking.

After a while, Grandpa Huang came over on a ox cart and said, "Everyone is here, get on first." When he saw Shen Lianxin holding two pieces of cloth, he glanced at her but didn't say anything.

Shen Lianxin consciously gave two copper coins, and Aunt Zhang quickly reached out and hit her, "What are you doing? One copper coin is enough. Who goes out to the city without buying something? You are crazy."

Shen Lianxin knew that Aunt Zhang was on her side. Although her words were unpleasant to hear, her heart was good. She patted her hand and indicated that it was okay.

Grandpa Huang said cheerfully, "One copper coin is enough. You are holding two pieces of cloth, which doesn't take up much space. There are only four people sitting here today."

Uncle Huang is a kind man. It is not easy to drive a cart, but he is better off than the villagers who have no means of making a living, and he never asks for more money.

Shen Lianxin raised her lips, "You are so nice. It's good for us to have four people. If there were six people, I would take up too much space and others would be unhappy. Please accept it."

Of course Mr. Huang was happy to have money to spend. He accepted it happily and his attitude was obviously much better.

Aunt Li and Aunt Wang also came over at the right time. Seeing this scene, they sat on the ox cart, paid the money and started talking, "Oh, you are rich. You can buy so much cloth without spending a penny. You should take it now."

Uncle Huang rolled his eyes at the two of them without saying anything, then raised his whip and set off.

"This cloth is so fine, it must have cost a lot of money, right? Can you give me some of the scraps left over from making clothes? I'll make a pair of soles for my Fugui."

"I want some too. We're from the same village. It's not too much to ask for some of your leftover scraps. You're not so stingy as to not give them to me, are you?"

Aunt Li and Aunt Wang were thinking about the new cloth that Shen Lianxin had bought.

"You two are short-sighted. Why should I give you the cloth that I bought with my own money? Don't I know how to sew shoe soles? You are the only one with a child, but Lianxin has four children." Aunt Zhang retorted.

Aunt Li and Aunt Wang curled their lips. "The hunter family didn't say anything. Why should you feel sorry for them? Besides, they can already afford new cloth. Why would they need these scraps of cloth?"

Just as Aunt Zhang was about to retort, Shen Lianxin spoke up, "What you two aunts are saying is true. I got this cloth by selling the jade pendant that my dead man left me, and I've spent all of it. If you like these scraps of cloth, I'll give them to you two after I make clothes. But my family doesn't have enough food, so you can lend me some food. It doesn't have to be much, just one pound each, so we can help each other."

When they heard that they were asked for food again, the two aunts were not happy. They thought it was wishful thinking to exchange a piece of cloth for food. For people like them who made a living by digging in the soil, nothing was more important than food.

"You want to exchange a pound of grain for a little rag? Don't even think about it. I don't have any grain to give you."

"That's right, it's just a piece of cloth, nothing special. My dog ​​has shoes to wear, so I don't need to sew the soles."

Shen Lianxin felt amused and ignored them. Aunt Zhang's eyes were rolling around, and no one knew what she was thinking.

There was no conversation along the way. When it was almost dark, Shen Lianxin finally returned home. As soon as she entered the door, she saw a few little kids with their heads hung dejectedly.

Seeing Shen Lianxin, the children's eyes lit up immediately and they all ran over, "Mom, you're back!"

Shen Lianxin was puzzled. What was going on? It sounded as if she would not come back.

"What's wrong? What are you doing?"

Gu Chengzhen burst into tears and hugged Shen Lianxin's legs, "Mom, please don't leave, please don't abandon us."

Shen Lianxin was confused, and quickly picked up Gu Chengzhen and coaxed her, "Mom won't leave, Mom won't abandon Xiaozhen, okay?"

The children clenched their fists and pursed their lips, looking like they wanted to cry but didn't dare to. Shen Lianxin was confused. Finally, she asked Gu Chengxin and finally understood. It turned out that when they went up the mountain in the morning, they found that their mother had no intention of selling them out, and asked Gu Chengxin to bring them porridge. After drinking it, the children were puzzled.

They didn't see Shen Lianxin until they came back from the mountain in the afternoon, and heard from the villagers that they saw Shen Lianxin riding a bullock cart to the city. The children guessed that their mother was not acting so abnormally to sell them, but must be giving them a good meal before leaving. Especially when they came back and found some more rice in the rice jar, they thought it must be the last love left by their mother for them.

The children thought that Shen Lianxin had run away and abandoned them, so they looked at the remaining rice in the jar and had no heart to cook. They sat dejectedly in the yard, wanting to cry but not daring to.
