The people watching the excitement dispersed one after another when they saw Liu Ergouzi leaving. When Liu Duo passed by, he glanced at Liu Lan and shook his head.
Yeliu saw Liu Duo shaking his head and asked, "What's wrong? Why are you shaking your head?"
"Nothing, let's go home."
If you don’t care about yourself, how will others care? If you don’t resist, no one can help you! If you blindly compromise, your life will be worse than death!
"Yeah." The two held hands and walked home slowly.
After returning home, Liu Duo informed her, "We are back," and immediately went to the latrine to change the cloth strips. In a day or two, it was time for her aunt to leave.
After cleaning, the replaced cloth strips were left to cool on the rope.
Ye Ling sat under the eaves with needle and thread, mending patches. Liu Duo walked over and sat down next to him, "Fourth brother, do you know how to mend clothes?" How virtuous!
"Well, the clothes of the third brother were torn while cutting firewood. They can still be worn after being mended." He was the one who mended the clothes of the third brother when they were torn.
The clothes they wear are patched again and again. As long as they can still be mended and worn, they are reluctant to throw them away.
Seeing Ye Ling's skillful movements, he couldn't help but ask, "Fourth brother, when did your parents die?"
There is no woman in the family, so she was born a man and had to learn how to be a female celebrity. To be so skilled at it made Liu Duo very distressed.
Ye Ling paused for a moment, as if he hadn't mentioned his parents for a long time, and he almost forgot about them. He was still young at that time, but it left a deep impression on him.
Sew the last stitch, cut off the thread, look at the sky and slowly say, "It's been ten years, it's been ten years in a blink of an eye."
ten years? At that time, the eldest brother was fifteen years old, the second brother was thirteen, the third brother was eleven, and the fourth brother was only nine years old. They must have had a difficult childhood, right? It was really hard for her to imagine what it was like to spend those years without the company of her parents.
"I remember one time, my father took my eldest brother to hunt in the mountains. An accident happened. In order to save my eldest brother, my father fell into a trap for catching large animals. At that time, the eldest brother's right face was scratched and he ran back with blood on his face. , I asked my second uncle and my third uncle to rescue people, but they didn’t care, not even grandma.”
It turns out that this is how the scars on my eldest brother’s face came from.
"There are already many traps and ferocious beasts on that mountain. If they go there, if no one can be saved, they will take the lives of more people to get in. The gain outweighs the loss! It's just a monster. That's what dad's fate is."
Liu Duo frowned, very angry.
"Later, my third uncle helped find someone to bring dad back, but dad was pierced through the chest by a wooden stake in the trap."
After a pause, his voice was a little choked, he continued, "It's only been three days since dad went away. My uncles are instigating grandma to separate the family. Mom, she is often short of breath and can't bear it. Dad's gone, which is a blow to mom." They were old enough, but grandma still treated them like this, and she was so angry that she left."
‘That must be a heart attack! ’, Liu Duo frowned, what kind of bullshit family is this? Just after his eldest son left, he wanted to separate the family and make his wife angry to death
"Why are your grandma and uncle suddenly separated? Are they still human?" Liu Duo asked.
‘Heh…’, yes, why do we need to separate the family? Are they indeed human beings? Ye Ling laughed angrily.
Ye Liu didn't know when he came to the eaves, leaned against a wooden stake on the side, crossed his chest with his hands, and said for Ye Ling, "Dad is dead, and the eldest brother is only half as big as a kid. How many prey can he hunt? Can he sell it?" There will be less money!”
From how he sounded, it sounded like he was talking about other people's affairs? , Liu Duo is ashamed!
