Doomsday Grain

The village head said so, so this matter cannot be faked.

The more Wu Xiulian thought about it, the angrier she became, and she cursed, "You're a prodigal!"

She was angry not because Lin Qian was worthless, but because they were busy for nothing.This big family came here to seek refuge with big bags and small bags, but in the end, their lives were not as good as their own.Who can bear this back and forth?

Of course Wu Xiulian didn't feel that she was greedy, she just hated Lin Qian for being so worthless, that's why she let them make this trip for nothing, otherwise they would start to enjoy themselves when they came here, that's how people live.

Qian Laosan glanced at his wife, and his face became more wrinkled: "Our eldest girl is right, how can she not know the situation of her son as a mother?"

"Didn't I think she was lying? It's not like you don't know that since the child she gave birth to has grown up, her own wings have become hardened, and she doesn't listen to anything. If she listens to us, find her a husband's family Come back with some bride price, why should we come here?"

Mrs. Qian asked the old couple to listen, and said, "What's the use of listening? Don't look at how old she is. Can she still have children at such an old age? Don't forget that we still have two girls at home. What about the film?"

Qian's daughter-in-law came in late, and was the stepmother of the eldest girl and the second girl.There are those who are stepmothers, who are kind-hearted, and those who dislike their stepson and stepdaughter, and the daughter-in-law of Qian is the latter.It was okay when they got married at first, but after giving birth to their son, it seemed that the two of them were fighting for family property.

Originally, if there were only three girls, then the property would be shared equally by the three daughters. Now that there is a son, it should belong to her youngest son.She was afraid that the two adult sisters would harm her younger brother for the family property, so she usually guarded against them.

As time went on and I thought about it more, I really felt that they were uneasy and kind, and looked down on them more and more, wishing to marry early and get a gift.Originally, all the big girls were married, but a plague killed her husband and came back.

The daughter-in-law Qian said this on purpose to make Wu Xiulian focus on the two marriageable granddaughters.What she said also makes sense. Now two young women who can have children are not better than such a woman who is so old and has gone through menopause?

In the past, marriage and childbirth were considered very important, and it is even more so now. Those who marry a daughter-in-law prefer to be able to bear children.

Speaking of before the end of the world, Wu Xiulian is really not in a hurry.Although it is patriarchal, but the granddaughter also hurts, so if you keep it by your side, you will keep it.

But now life is getting worse day by day. It's time for this granddaughter to get married, and it's a waste of food if she stays at home. It's better to find a husband's family to marry out as soon as possible, and it will save worry.

The second girl glared at her stepmother, but the eldest girl didn't take it seriously.From the day she came back, she knew what she would face in the future. Her aunt, Lin Qian's mother, was a lesson from the past.

Not reconciled?Yes, but where could she go if she left this home?Especially in such an extreme environment, she can only listen to the family's arrangements.He could only pray that the husband's family they found for him would not be a drunk and beating scum like Lin Qian's mother, as long as he could live his life.

Wife Qian patted her son, and looked at the younger son who was still sipping hot water, and felt a lot more at ease.

As long as there is this son, she has the right to speak in this family.It's also fortunate that she gave birth to a young son, otherwise she would have a daughter, and she might be kicked out like the previous one.

"When a girl grows up, she has to find her husband's family." Wu Xiulian thought about it again, "You guys should be more promising and not bad looking, so you can't find someone with good conditions by yourself, and it will save me worry."

The second girl was still young, so she replied, "I can't go out now, where can I find it?"

"You're still stubborn, aren't you?" Wu Xiulian frowned, thought about it and said, "Why can't I find it? The one who bought the old Lin's house, what's the last name? It's the one with the double surname, and it's rich at a glance. Such a thick gold chain."

"How old is that?" The second girl frowned.He Yangxuan looks good, but listening to them talk, he used to be Lin Qian's friend, so he must be around the same age, "On that condition, the children can walk all over the place."

Mrs. Qian rubbed her hands, turned her eyes and said, "That's something that can't be said for sure. Besides, what can I do? Three or five daughters-in-law with good conditions in this world are normal, and it's more popular to be a child."

"What are you talking about!" Qian Da frowned.Qian Da has been in school for several years, no matter how much he loves his son, he has no idea of ​​letting his daughter be someone's mistress.

Mrs. Qian rolled her eyes and said nothing more.Wu Xiulian had an idea in her heart, and she always felt that what Mrs. Qian said was not unreasonable.As the old saying goes, a wife is worse than a concubine and a concubine is worse than a concubine. When the family really has no food to eat, if the daughter of the family can be a child with good conditions, the family will not have to worry about food.

Wu Xiulian was thinking about it, and the village chief couldn't listen anymore.If he was from the village, he, the village head, could intervene and say a few words, but these two people from other villages really had nothing to say.

I stood up and told them where the coal was, how to burn it and how to ventilate it, and then went back.

Lin Qian divided the eggs for the "group performers", and they took the eggs and went back.Liu Dongsheng and his wife stayed for a while longer. Before leaving, Lin Qian took two goose eggs and asked them to go back and tell Uncle Liu that if he was free, he would wear more clothes and go to the brigade to meet the Qian family. "Debt collection" to go.

After all these arrangements were made, Lin Qian's family of three could rest easy.

Of course, this kind of trick can't be fooled for a lifetime, and now it's just taking advantage of the right time, place and people.

The extreme weather made the villagers seldom move around, so even if the eight members of the Qian family lived in the village for a few days, they would not be afraid that they would encounter villagers and spoil their good show. This was the right time.

This is the place where Lin Qian grew up, and he is most familiar with it, so everything about the eight members of the Qian family can be arranged in advance because of the favorable location.

Although Lin Qian didn't have a lot of connections in the village, in this environment, only a few people who were willing to help were enough. With the help of the village chief and the army, he wasn't afraid that he wouldn't be able to fool them.

In this way, they only need to be asked to leave temporarily. Even if the weather improves in the future, it will be fine for them to find out that Lin Qian is lying to them through some news channels.This time they failed to use the army successfully, and when they thought about it later, they couldn't use the army to support Lin Qian anymore.

And this time they really did their best, and if Lin Qian dared to come to the door next time, even if Lin Qian used a broom to drive them out, no one in the village would feel heartless, and would support him very much.

So even though the eggs of more than 20 catties were taken out, it was a hemorrhage, but it was worthwhile to solve the troubles of their family.

After sending Liu Dongsheng and Wang Ying away, Lin Qian sat on the sofa and let out a long sigh of relief, while his grandfather looked at the gate outside the window: "Are you leaving?"

He Yangxuan helped the old man go back and sit down: "You really like to act, just now the door was open and you were wearing little clothes, and you still walked towards the door."

"I also want to see their expressions. It's not that they didn't hit the tiger, and the meat used to hook the tiger is almost gone." Grandpa sat on the sofa and put the walking stick aside.

"Qian'er and I were worried about whether you would be sad or something, but you are better than anyone else." He Yangxuan put away his mink coat and gold chain watch.The mink fur coat was bought by his grandfather. He Yangxuan's aesthetics doesn't like furry clothes, so he never buys them. His grandfather came from the previous era, and he was afraid of the cold. Animal fur is the warmest, so he put it in the space. Not a lot.

The gold chain is also real, but it was bought by He Yangxuan to preserve its value.Jade and antiques are hard to say, this precious metal is valuable no matter what time it is.Since it was used as money, He Yangxuan didn't need any design, just the most basic thick and heavy gold chain, which is really full of local tyrant temperament.

But the watch was He Yangxuan's own good thing in the past, and it was a gift from his former business partner. This watch is more valuable than that mink fur and gold chain.But after the apocalypse, it's not worth much money anymore, He Yangxuan is used to doing rough work, so this watch has been put in the space and never carried.

"There's nothing to be sad about. It's not that I don't know the character of their family. If I really have too many fantasies about them, I would be naive. It's a pity that I can't chase them to the brigade. I really want to see how unlucky they are."

He Yangxuan glanced at Lin Qian who was looking at the ceiling over there. As expected of his grandpa and grandson, they went out together.

But He Yangxuan likes it, it's too happy, too right-tempered.

Lin Qian took out his mobile phone and called his mother, but the phone on the other side was turned off and he couldn't get through.Lin Qian was not in a hurry. Since his mother cared about this, he might call back to ask about the situation.

"I hope they don't have the face to come over after this. There's really no need to dirty our hands for this kind of people." Lin Qian threw the phone away and poured himself a cup of tea.

"I can bring a family of eight to a family like ours, which is almost a stranger, what can't be done with such a face? But next time, I should change to another house, and it won't be until there is nothing to eat. Just come here again. I’m afraid they will encourage your mother to bring a younger brother that she will give birth to you first. If your mother’s heart is more biased, they will not help you. You can refuse if your grandma brings your uncle. Outside the door, your own mother will not be easy to deal with." He Yangxuan said.

He Yangxuan always sees things so sharply.Lin Qian squinted at him, shrugged and smiled, "Don't worry, she can't do such a thing."

"There are no absolutes." He Yangxuan leaned over and rubbed against Lin Qian, "Don't forget that she is a mother. And the one she gave birth to later is a baby lump she raised for 20 years. If she can't eat by herself, It's not impossible to come here for the younger son when the two of them have no food to eat, or are in danger and lack protection. Plus her family has repeatedly encouraged her, so don't underestimate it. Due to the influence of the clan, even if they are so angry that they don’t contact each other right now, they will still reconcile because of their feelings from childhood to adulthood.”

"I also said that it is time to support her. If she lacks clothes and clothes, I can provide for her. If there is more, it is impossible. I am not a person who is bound by other people's eyes. Taking a step back, even if she wants to come to the door to let her I support it, but I don’t want to, as long as I pay alimony, it’s useless for her to take me to court, I’m not a person who can be suppressed by any kind of family relationship.”

He Yangxuan thought about it, and then said: "Perhaps now you should let her completely disconnect from her natal family. If she can't be contacted, there will be no troubles. Our building is still empty, not far from her home. It is absolutely possible to let her move there. In this way, her parents will not be able to find her when they go to find her in the future. As long as she does not take the initiative to contact her, the chance of being found is not high. Next time you call, you can talk about it. Of course, she is reluctant to leave Forget it."

What He Yangxuan said was very to the point.After all, Lin Qian's grandma's family was not a good place. There was no way to think about things like feelings, and the best way was to cut them off completely.If Lin Qian's mother was still reluctant to part with her family, there was nothing she could do. If she broke up directly, it would actually be the best result for all three parties.

Lin Qian's mother's parents no longer tried to influence Lin Qian's mother's life, and without Lin Qian's mother as a channel, Lin Qian's grandma's family could not have much relationship with Lin Qian.

"Then remind me, I'm afraid I'll forget."

The next day, Uncle Liu took time to go to the brigade. It was very cold outside, and he usually wouldn't go far when he went out.The brigade was a bit far from Uncle Liu's house, but thinking about Lin Qian's entrustment, wear a few more layers to warm up inside the house, and then go out and take a few steps.

The five members of Qian's family slept all night wearing their clothes on. The brigade's house was originally used for office work. Although the fire was burning well, there was no need to worry about coal, but the heat preservation effect was not good, and it was cold enough to panic this night.

When Qian Da woke up early in the morning, he woke up the whole family and gathered around the stove to keep warm.When I came here, I brought food but no cooking utensils, and I didn't know where the village head was, so I could only bake a few potatoes on the stove.As a result, because I haven't baked potatoes for too long, I forgot how to control the heat, and a small half of them were mushy.

There is no salt. Although the potatoes are fragrant, it is tasteless to eat them dry.

The little grandson took two bites of baked potatoes, his eyes were red: "I want to go home..."

Wu Xiulian reached out to hold her little grandson in her arms, and patted her distressedly: "Good boy, we can go home when the soldiers arrive in two days."

What is this?I thought that if I came here, I would be able to eat well and drink spicy food. Even if Lin Qian was angry and denied them first, he could arrange for them with the army.

As a result, Lin Qian had already gone bankrupt, and the army left again, leaving their family in the brigade, which was completely different from what they had imagined.

The family reluctantly ate the potatoes, chatting without saying a word around the fire, when they heard the sound of the door opening, and with the cold air coming in, they thought it was the village chief who came back, and turned their eyes away. Look, it's a stranger.

Qian Da and Wu Xiulian stood up, but they didn't know what to say, thinking they were village officials like the secretary.

Uncle Liu went into the room and rubbed the tip of his nose, which was red from the cold, and looked at their family. The count was correct, so this was the Qian family.

"Are you relatives of the old Lin family?"

There is only one family surnamed Lin in the whole village. The meaning of Uncle Liu's words is obvious.

Wu Xiulian was troubled in her heart, and asked, "Who are you?"

"Ah, it's okay, I'm his neighbor." Uncle Liu was thinking about what to say for a while, with a smile on his face that was easy to get in touch with.

Wu Xiulian was wondering, what happened to the neighbor?If you're not the landlord, why go all the way to find them?

"Then you are here..."

Uncle Liu walked over and warmed himself up in front of the stove: "Qianqian has often come to my house for dinner when he was young, and he is quite familiar with him."

Wu Xiulian guessed the point, and hurriedly said: "We don't know him well. You also know that my daughter has remarried since his father died. This time I came here to see and recognize my relatives. In fact, I don't know what he looks like. out, really."

Wu Xiulian couldn't wait to separate herself from Lin Qian.

When Uncle Liu heard what she said, he was also quite mocking in his heart, but of course, he wouldn't show it on his face.He said strangely: "Really? Why did I hear Qianqian say that you love him? Before he couldn't pay the rent, he borrowed [-] catties of rice from me. My little granddaughter is only a few months old. When it was not easy to feed, I thought about feeding more rice soup to grow well. When the rice in the house was finished, Qianqian told me that you were here to deliver food, and asked me to come and ask you for it.”

Uncle Liu's words were half true and half false, Wu Xiulian didn't doubt it at all.

"This little bastard!" Wu Xiulian gritted her teeth and said, "Don't listen to his nonsense! Who will bring him food? I'm his grandma! No matter how you say it, he should be the one who honors me! It's fine when I was young, but I've grown up for so many years. I’ve never seen him come over to look at things. Why didn’t you think of me as a grandma when you were rich earlier? Now that you don’t have money, you think of me, why is it so good?”

If you were an ignorant person, you would definitely think that Lin Qian was a heartless person after hearing this.

How can Uncle Liu not know what's going on here?There is still a strange expression on his face: "What else is there? That's too much. But he is also your grandson, so there is no overnight feud in the family. If he is in trouble, you, a grandma, can't do it." Doesn't it look like that?"

Wu Xiulian was afraid that her precious food would be taken away by Uncle Liu, so she shook her head like a rattle: "Who is his grandma? How can he blame me if he doesn't recognize me? Besides, my daughter remarried a long time ago, even his own mother What does it matter to my grandma if you don’t recognize him? Don’t worry about me asking for food. Look at how many people there are in my family. My little grandson is also growing up. What can we eat if we give you food?”

Wu Xiulian's tone was tough, Uncle Liu scratched his head, still with the same honest look: "That's right, that kid Qianqian owes me, so I can't make things difficult for you, can I? Can you warm up by the fire, it's so cold outside."

Seeing that there was no more food, Wu Xiulian breathed a sigh of relief, and her attitude became much better. She greeted her and warmed herself in front of the stove.

Uncle Liu was really cold, so he squatted by the stove and stretched out his hands to warm himself.

After standing like this for nearly 5 minutes, Wu Xiulian couldn't help asking: "Can I ask you, who is the person who bought Lin Qian's house?"

"You said Xiaoxuan, we know each other. What's the matter?" Uncle Liu had a simple and honest face.

"Does he have a wife?" Wu Xiulian asked.

"I've never heard of it." Uncle Liu shook his head, "We are neighbors. The kid was very honest when he first came here, especially when things were going wrong, he was also afraid of being kicked out, so he did everything at home. Later, when Qianqian didn't pay the loan and sold everything People. They are not things, and they are usually rude. I don’t know if there was a daughter-in-law before, and I didn’t bring anyone here. Because people are not easy to get along with, no one dares to introduce him, and he is not willing to go out.”

Wu Xiulian was overjoyed, and looked back and forth at the two girls in her family, thinking that this He Yangxuan must be in a hurry, but others are afraid that he will not introduce him, so it would be an advantage to introduce her granddaughter to him at this time ?

"Can you talk to him?" Wu Xiulian asked impatiently.

Uncle Liu nodded: "I can say a few words."

Wu Xiulian hurried over and tugged at his sleeve, and said in a soft voice, "Then big brother, sister, please do something."

Uncle Liu looked confused: "What's the matter?"

Wu Xiulian pulled her second granddaughter over: "How do you see my granddaughter?"

The reason why it is the second granddaughter is because Wu Xiulian thinks that He Yangxuan should look down on the second marriage.Although He Yangxuan's age should be looking for a second marriage, but He Yangxuan's conditions are good, so he should find a young girl.

"I have a daughter-in-law." Uncle Liu said honestly.

"Hey, where do you want to go. The three girls in my family are in trouble now, so I want to find a good husband's family. Today, I think that person's conditions are very good, and he is also good. My second girl is handsome, and the conditions Also, can you do me a favor and make peace?" Wu Xiulian was all smiles.

Only then did she feel that the trip was worthwhile.Although Lin Qian couldn't be eaten, it would be nice if he could find a grandson-in-law with money and food, so he wouldn't have to worry about food and drink in the future.

Uncle Liu looked embarrassed: "This...you also know that Xiaoxuan has a bad temper, so I'm too embarrassed to say that."

Wu Xiulian became anxious, and directly grabbed Uncle Liu's wrist: "Don't say that, how can a young man not be in a hurry to marry a wife? Besides, this girl in my family is not a crooked melon, and she took advantage of her as a wife." .Can you help me?"

Wu Xiulian looked at Uncle Liu, saw that he still had hesitation on his face, and hurriedly said: "Don't worry, as long as this is done, you will be indispensable. It's not in vain to say that we are dear. Come on, boy, pack some rice for your uncle." Come here, pack more, get a convenient bag out."

"It's not very good, besides, I don't know if it can be done, how can I ask for your things first?"

Wu Xiulian hurriedly said: "Can you tell me later that if you help me, I won't bother you in vain. If it works, we will remember you, but if it doesn't, we have a friendship, right?"

Qian Da moved quickly, opened the rice bag, took out a convenience bag, and put a bag in it.

A convenient bag of rice weighs almost twenty catties.

Qian Da handed it over, and Wu Xiulian felt pain in her hand when she took it. Looking at her second granddaughter, she still handed the rice bag to Uncle Liu: "You take this rice, don't you have children in your family? You should take good care of them. Then I Is this granddaughter troublesome for you? You waste your time and say a few good words. My granddaughter is sensible, she can do all kinds of work, and she is well-behaved. She is not troublesome at all, and she is also nice. Give birth, and within two years, I will definitely give birth to a big fat boy."

Wu Xiulian was also really anxious, and she also felt that He Yangxuan should be anxious to have a child at such an age, so when she praised her granddaughter, she blurted out the words.

Uncle Liu is also a person with a granddaughter, and there is only one granddaughter, who is like a baby, and it makes me feel uncomfortable to hear this.
