Even Qian Shulan herself did not expect that after this conversation, the third brother and his wife would treat their three daughters very well.
It's not the kind of ordinary goodness, but the desire to train his granddaughter to be a great person, like her.
"You must learn from your grandmother so that you can be the head of the family like your grandmother when you marry into her husband's family in the future."
Qian Shulan always felt confused. How could she become a role model for their daughter
But seeing that they just wanted their daughter to be more powerful, it seemed that they were right. Qian Shulan didn't care anymore.
At noon, Zhou Xuemei and Sun Daqin heated up the food and brought it to the table.
After everyone was seated, Qian Shulan began to distribute the food. Almost every day she would add extra food for her family.
As the temperature has been getting colder recently, the militiamen don't want to go out and catch people smoking. So Qian Shulan also started cooking during the day.
Except for meat dishes, the other dishes at most have the smell of oil smoke, which does not drift far away.
Just as I was about to eat, I heard someone knocking on the door.
Xiaomei went to open the door, but after a long pause she couldn't figure out who this person was. She turned around and shouted into the main room, "Grandma, Mom, we have guests."
Everyone turned around to look and saw that all the people who came stood up and walked out.
I saw a middle-aged woman with a haggard face. She was about forty years old, wearing patched clothes, with white hair on her head, a slightly hunched back, crow's feet at the corners of her small eyes, and her cheeks were red from the wind with two black spots on them, as big as fingernails. There were deep nasolabial folds on both sides of her nose, making her look particularly old.
One of her hands tightly grasped the hand of the little boy next to her, and she looked at them with a little shyness and trepidation.
The little boy who had been snuggling next to her was about twelve years old. He was very tall and thin, with a pale face and skinny body. His eyes were full of vigilance and strangeness, and he was looking at the people in the yard curiously.
Qian Shulan thought for a long time before she remembered who this person was.
Yesterday, Qian Shulan mentioned this person. She was the original body's eldest daughter, Wang Danzhi. This daughter was sold out by the original body. She married a family with a bad reputation, and the man was five years older than her. It was said that his personality was not very good.
After the original body sold Wang Danzhi, she didn't feel the slightest bit of guilt. Not only that, she even disliked Wang Danzhi for never sending her gifts during festivals and holidays, and for not being a filial daughter.
Therefore, when she was choosing a partner for Wang Danna, she tried her best to ask for a dowry and even wanted to pay a sky-high price.
Qian Shulan felt very sympathetic towards Wang Danzhi because her fate was very similar to her grandmother's.
Qian Shulan looked at the woman in front of her, her eyes reddened, "Danzhi, why have you become so old?"
If Qian Shulan hadn't had the memory of her original self, she would have almost failed to recognize her. Wasn't Wang Danzhi only thirty-three years old? How did she look so old? It wasn't an exaggeration to say she was forty.
Wang Danzhi obviously didn't expect that her mother didn't scold her even though she hadn't been home for more than ten years.
Her eyes were instantly covered with tears and her nose felt very sore.
Since marrying into the Sun family, Wang Danzhi has not even returned home. The Sun family is very strict, especially her mother-in-law, who is very overbearing and has always made her work at home, like a slave.
If it weren't for the fact that there was no food at home this time, her parents-in-law would never have let her come back.
On the way, she was always nervous. In order to marry her third brother, her mother asked the Sun family for such a high gift, which was equivalent to selling her.
They haven't had any contact for so many years. Will her mother drive her away and not want to support her
If she didn't eat, she would starve to death, but her son was so young, how could she bear to watch him starve to death.
After standing outside the door for a long time, she finally mustered up the courage to knock on the door. Unexpectedly, her mother didn't blame her at all. This finally made her feel at ease.
Others started calling out for help, and several children also called Wang Danzhi "Auntie".
When meeting for the first time, the elders should give the younger ones a gift, but Wang Danzhi didn't have a penny on her. She hadn't visited the Sun family for more than ten years, and the old Sun family didn't even let her bring anything back.
She blushed in embarrassment.
Qian Shulan knew how hard her life was just by looking at her. She pulled them into the house and asked them to sit down and eat.
She pinched the little boy's face. It was hard, without any flesh, and felt very uncomfortable. "This is my grandson, right? What's his name?" She looked at Wang Danzhi.
Wang Danzhi quickly replied, "Little Donkey"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhengjun burst out laughing, pointed at the little boy and laughed, "Haha, it's called a little donkey." Then he put his hands behind his back and began to sing, "I have a little donkey, I never ride it..."
Qian Shulan taught a few kids to sing this song, and they hummed it every day. Unexpectedly, Zheng Jun would use it to make fun of others today.
The little boy bared his teeth and made a ferocious expression at Zhengjun, which frightened Zhengjun so much that he quickly hid behind his grandmother.
Qian Shulan smiled and patted Zhengjun's leg, saying, "This is my brother's name. It's wrong for you to make fun of him like this."
The little boy suddenly shouted from his stool, "My name is not Little Donkey, my name is Sun Yanming."
Qian Shulan was stunned for a moment and praised, "This name is really nice!"
After being praised, Sun Yanming lowered his head embarrassedly and then sat back in his seat.
Qian Shulan touched his head.
Xiaomei took a handful of candy from her pocket and handed it to the little boy. The little boy was a little panicked and refused to take it when he saw his mother. It was not until Wang Danzhi nodded that he hurriedly took it.
The others followed suit and gave him handfuls of their candy.
Soon the little boy's pockets were full of space.
He had no choice but to put the money in his coat pocket, and then he thanked them in a low voice in embarrassment.
Qian Shulan praised each of the children one by one, and then said to Sun Daqin, "Go and get some hot water."
Sun Daqin immediately stood up, filled a half basin with hot water, and asked the two to wash their faces. It was so cold that the wind blew away all the dirt on their bodies.
Because Sun Yanming lifted up her torn cotton jacket to hold the candy, her clothes were a little too short, so her belly was exposed.
The ribs on his stomach were clearly visible. He was even worse than any beggar she had ever seen.
Qian Shulan couldn't help but exclaimed, "Why is this child so thin?"
Sun Yanming felt a little embarrassed to have his clothes lifted in front of his peers, so he quickly dodged.
Qian Shulan looked at the child's dodging movements, sighed in her heart, took a small basket from the corner, and asked Sun Yanming to put the candy in the basket. Sun Yanming did so immediately.
After putting it away, Qian Shulan immediately put the basket against the wall.
When Qian Shulan pulled him over to wash their hands, he still tilted his head to look at her reluctantly.
Qian Shulan felt quite sad, thinking that this child probably seldom ate sweets at home.
She touched his head and soothed him, "Wash your hands and eat first. Your sisters and brothers all have candy, and each of them has more than you, so no one takes it."
These words successfully made Sun Yanming turn around.
After the two of them finished washing, Qian Shulan immediately pulled them to sit at the adults' table.
Then invite them to eat.
The staple food of Lao Wang's family is still sweet potatoes. But today, they cooked a dish of Chinese cabbage stewed with vermicelli.
Although it is a vegetarian dish, Qian Shulan fried it with animal oil, so it is very fragrant.
The two men had obviously been hungry for several days and they ate so fast that they almost choked.
The others looked at them and couldn't help swallowing.
Zhou Xuemei was a little curious. "Second sister, I heard before that there is no more food in Sunjia Village and all of it has been handed over. Is that true?"
Wang Danzhi had something in his mouth and could only use his head to indicate.
By the time the two of them finished eating, there was almost no food left.
It's not that the two of them were being overbearing and didn't let them eat, but that the others couldn't eat anymore. Their family always had enough food.
The extra ones are made to fill your stomach in case you get hungry while playing.
After dinner, Qian Shulan asked Xiaomei to take Sun Yanming to the yard to play.
Sun Yanming carried his candy basket.
The other kids also had their own baskets, which were even smaller than his.
Sun Yanming's basket was big, but there were few candies in it, so he looked a little pitiful.
The others are just right, although there is some empty space, it doesn’t look empty.
A group of children played the candy-eating and candy-counting game in the yard.
In the main room, Qian Shulan began to ask about the situation of the Sun family.
Wang Danzhi then recounted her daily life at the Sun family, and Qian Shulan was so angry that she wanted to beat him up. It was no wonder that he aged like this after living such a hard life!
The Sun family has not yet split up. The old lady of the Sun family has three sons. The one Wang Danzhi married is the middle one. He has a hot temper. When he was young, he killed someone and fled to another province.
Later, the family suffered a disaster, so he returned to his hometown. Because of his bad reputation, no one in the neighborhood was willing to marry him.
The Sun family paid a high bride price to marry Wang Danzhi, who was said to be very honest.
The old lady of the Sun family has a very bad temper. She is the kind of vicious old lady in the old days who specifically tortures her daughter-in-law.
Wang Danzhi asked to go back to her parents' home several times, but the old lady of the Sun family refused to let her.
"We have been out of food for several days. My mother-in-law is seriously ill and has not been getting better. The barefoot doctor at the production team said that she will only live for a few days. There is not much food at home. My father-in-law asked me to go back to my parents' home and try." Wang Danzhi dumped out all the information without even thinking twice.
Just after she finished speaking, she seemed to realize that she had said the wrong thing, and looked at her sister-in-law and brothers and sisters-in-law with some uneasiness.
But she found that they didn't seem to show any strangeness or dissatisfaction, but were all looking at her mother.
Wang Danzhi was a little puzzled.
In the past, whenever a daughter went to her husband's house to ask for money, weren't these sisters-in-law and brothers-in-law the first to jump out to object
But what about her sisters-in-law and brothers-in-law
Seeing that she had been staring at Sun Daqin and the others, Qian Shulan patted the back of her hand to bring her back to her senses, "You mean, your mother-in-law is going to..."
Wang Danzhi immediately withdrew his gaze and nodded.
Qian Shulan didn't know what to say. As the man was about to die, she should be more polite and not curse.
"Mom, can you lend me some food?" While speaking, Wang Danzhi pinched the corner of his clothes a little nervously.
Qian Shulan agreed immediately, "It's no problem to lend you food, but you have to stay at home for a few days."
Wang Danzhi was a little anxious. Her mother-in-law would only be here for a few days. If she didn't wait by her bedside, her father-in-law and her husband would definitely scold her when she returned.
Qian Shulan patted the back of her hand and said firmly, "You are right to listen to your mother."
Qian Shulan was about to continue explaining her reasons when she suddenly remembered that so many people were listening. She immediately pulled Wang Danzhi up.
He said to the others, "You all go and do your work. I want to go into the house and have a private conversation with Danzhi."
The others immediately stood up from their stools. Those who were cleaning up the dishes and making baskets were all in good order, and no one dared to eavesdrop.
When they got to the room, Qian Shulan pulled Wang Danzhi to sit down and scolded her with some regret, "That old woman treated you so well, and you are still filial to her. She won't remember your kindness anyway."
Wang Danzhi felt relieved when she heard this. No one likes to be bullied. Especially her mother-in-law, who always beat or scolded her. She didn't want to serve her from the bottom of her heart.
Of course it was good to be able to be lazy. But she was still a little worried that her father-in-law would blame her, "But there is no food at home, will it be..."
Qian Shulan curled her lips, "Don't they know about your situation? Since they love their eldest and youngest sons, they should let them find a solution. You just stay at home and live peacefully."
You can say that she holds a grudge, but why should she use her food to support such heartless people
Wang Danzhi, who had been oppressed, was somewhat moved. During the time when her mother-in-law was ill, she had been taking care of her at her bedside. Serving tea, pouring water and feeding her were all trivial matters. But her mother-in-law didn't even tell her in advance when she had to defecate or urinate. Her mother-in-law could obviously speak, but she deliberately tormented her.
What made people most angry was that she was the one who did the hard work, but her mother-in-law told the villagers that it was her eldest sister-in-law and her third brother's wife who took care of her. Wang Danzhi was so angry that she wiped away tears.
Her resentment towards her mother-in-law made her choose to obey her mother's words. She just wanted to see if her eldest sister-in-law and third brother's wife could still pretend to be good daughters-in-law during the few days when she was away from home.
Qian Shulan patted the back of her hand and said, "You should take good care of yourself first. When your mother-in-law dies, you will still have to keep vigil. I guess someone will come to inform you in a few days."
At last, fearing that she might be upset, he gave her another reassurance, "I will ask the eldest and third sons to send you back when the time comes! Let's see if the Sun family dares to bully you."
Why do rural people have to have sons? On the one hand, it is because they can provide for their old age, and on the other hand, sons can support the family. If a sister is wronged after getting married, her brothers can come to the house to weigh her waist.
Wang Danzhi wiped her tears and nodded heavily. She sighed in her heart that it was good to have her mother to support her.
Qian Shulan glanced towards the yard and said, "It's so cold today, why did you bring Yan Ming with you? It's a distance of more than ten miles, and you asked him to follow you. You are really capable!"
Wang Danzhi lowered her head. She had no other choice. Her mother had sold her before, so who knew if she would lend her food this time
Bring your son here, mother will at least give them something to eat for the sake of the child.
