The next day, Yang Shifeng got up at dawn, steamed a few steamed buns for Eleven and Grandpa Yang, carried two in his arms, and went to town in the moonlight. Today, he was going to buy meat and tofu. Come back and make delicious food for Eleven.
"Brother Shifeng, are you going to the town?" The village chief's house is the only way to go to the town. When Yang Shifeng was passing by, he was suddenly stopped by Song Cuilan who came out of the house.
Yang Shifeng frowned and nodded as an answer to her words.
Song Cuilan laughed, lifted the basket in her hand, and said with a smile: "Brother Shifeng, I'm going to town today too. My family has been working hard to collect rice for the past two days, so I'll go buy some meat and come back to make up for it for everyone. Oil and water."
Yang Shifeng ordered some meat, "Then I'll go first."
"Hey, Brother Shifeng, we both have to go to the town, why don't we go together, so that we can have a company, and the road will not be boring." Song Cuilan stopped Yang Shifeng again.
Yang Shifeng refused, "It's not good for us to go together, it's easy for people to misunderstand, so let's go separately."
Song Cuilan didn't expect Yang Shifeng to reject it so easily. She felt uncomfortable and her eyes turned red, "Brother Shifeng, are you not even willing to walk with me now?"
I've never been together before, what do you mean by that? Yang Shifeng frowned even tighter, in order to avoid misunderstanding, he said: "After all, we two are alone, so it is better to avoid suspicion. Don't say such misleading words in the future, it will be bad for others to hear, I really want to go." Yang Shifeng turned around and left.
Song Cuilan's breathing stagnated for a while, and a sense of embarrassment emerged spontaneously, as if she had been slapped in the face. Looking at Yang Shifeng's tall back, Song Cuilan's nails sank deep into her flesh.
Why did he do this to her? Obviously he would play with her when she was a child, and he would carry her home when she had a sprained foot, and he would give her the candy he finally got. Isn't he treating her very well? Why has it changed now? ? Is it because of that woman
However, he was hers, she was the one who saw him first.
Unwilling to lose Yang Shifeng like this, Song Cuilan gritted her teeth and chased after him cheekily.
"Brother Shifeng, I'm going to be afraid alone. Come with me. If you're afraid of misunderstandings, can I stay away from you?" Song Cuilan followed behind Yang Shifeng, her voice pitiful, as if he would be able to reject her immediately. cry out.
Yang Shifeng couldn't say that he wouldn't let her follow. This road was owned by the public, and he had no right not to let others go. Therefore, Yang Shifeng, like he didn't see Song Cuilan behind him, walked his own way without any intention of stopping to accommodate the woman's footsteps. Song Cuilan had no choice but to grit his teeth and follow behind, just to catch up with Yang Shifeng.
"Brother Shifeng, I heard that the Eleventh girl was picked up by you from the mountain. There is no one in her family, and she is the only one left?" Song Cuilan asked.
However, Yang Shifeng didn't want to talk to her about Eleven, so he acted as if he didn't hear it, and hurried away silently.
Seeing him ignoring Song Cuilan, she bit her lip and finally decided to ask what she wanted to know most: "Brother Shifeng, do you want to marry that Eleven girl?"
Hearing this, Yang Shifeng lowered his head and accelerated his pace, not wanting to discuss this topic with outsiders.
Seeing him speeding up, Song Cuilan followed suit, and continued to say as she walked, "Brother Shifeng, we both grew up together, I was looking forward to your well-being, my father mentioned to you about our marriage before. , I just want to give you a hand. Your family is too difficult. Are you willing to live such a poor life with such ability? Brother Shi Feng, if you marry me, half of my family's property will be yours in the future. My father will also help you. If you also want to be the village chief in the future, my father can also help you. Also, your family doesn’t have much land. After you get married with me, the land will increase. Let us plant all the land."
"Brother Shi Feng, I know you are worried about your grandfather, right? But we can give you money, 20 cents a month, your second uncle and second aunt must be very willing to take good care of Grandpa Yang, and you can also Going back to see Grandpa Yang every day, it’s not much different from taking care of him now, isn’t it? With twenty pennies, Grandpa Yang’s life is better than now.” Song Cuilan said to herself, she didn’t see Yang Shifeng ugly at all. His face and his clenched fists.
"Brother Shifeng, think about it, if you marry that Eleventh girl, she will have nothing, and she will eat your clothes and wear your clothes, so your difficulties will be even greater, she can't help you at all, isn't it? Well, it's different when you marry me, half of my family's property is yours, and my parents will be able to take care of our children in the future, so we can live well."
"Enough—" Yang Shifeng interrupted Song Cuilan with an angry shout, which also startled her, and her voice stopped abruptly.
Yang Shifeng turned around and looked at Song Cuilan. Only then did Song Cuilan see how bad Yang Shifeng's face was, and she panicked, "Brother Shifeng, you... What's wrong with you?"
Yang Shifeng took a deep breath and didn't say much in order to take into account the face of the village chief, but now he wants to make it clear, "I have already said, I will not marry you, I am a dignified man with hands and feet. , why do you want to move in? Can't I support myself? I don't care about half of your family's property, and I don't care about your father helping me, and I won't abandon my grandfather for a good life. Also, I don't like you at all, no I will get married with you, I hope you can understand, and don't come to me to say this again!"
"You...you..." Song Cuilan's tears fell all at once, the belief that he liked her built in her heart completely collapsed at this moment, and the ruthless reality was presented to her like this In front of her, she couldn't accept it at all!
Yang Shifeng didn't want to look at her, he turned around and strode forward, ignoring the cries of the people behind him, and disappeared from Song Cuilan's sight within a while.
If it was not necessary, Yang Shifeng wouldn't say these hurtful words so bluntly, but he knew that if he didn't make it clear, Song Cuilan would still have such thoughts on him, which would not only delay him, but also her, and finally the two are not good. What's more, he didn't want any misunderstanding on Eleven, he had no entanglement with other women, he was innocent.
Although, Eleven probably doesn't care.
... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ..
Yang Shifeng was not at home, so he took the steamed buns in the steamer on Eleven, and sent two to Grandpa Yang by the way. Eleven squatted next to Grandpa Yang, and the two ate together.
After eating, Eleven let Grandpa Yang sleep for half an hour, and when he woke up, he put a compress on his leg, and then started to prick him.
Now it is more painful to get a needle, because it will feel very painful. Grandpa Yang can fully feel the pain. Every time he bites his teeth and sweats on his forehead.
In the past, Yang Shifeng held Grandpa Yang's legs down to prevent him from moving. Today, when Yang Shifeng was not there, Eleven was worried that Grandpa Yang would move because of the pain. At that time, Uncle Yang, who was supposed to be harvesting rice, came in.
As soon as Second Uncle Yang came in, he held Grandpa Yang's leg, "Father, Shi Feng is not at home today, I will massage your leg." Before leaving today, Yang Shifeng went to Second Uncle Yang and asked him to come down and help him massage his leg. , so that the eleven needles can be inserted, so Uncle Yang went to cut some rice at noon, and then took time to help Grandpa Yang press his legs.
Grandpa Yang was quite satisfied with Uncle Yang's move, and snorted, "You haven't completely broken your conscience yet."
Uncle Yang smiled bitterly.
Thanks to Uncle Yang's help, Eleven successfully pierced the needle and wrapped the herbs on Grandpa Yang.
Seeing that Uncle Yang was over, he scratched the back of his head and called out to Grandpa Yang, "Father."
Grandpa Yang looked up at him, "What's the matter?"
Uncle Yang looked at Eleven hesitantly, and when he saw her going out, he said, "Dad, it's what Silk Flower said last time, as you know, her brother's leg is lame, and their family is looking forward to it being cured. Well, if Eleven is willing to give it a cure, it will definitely be cured, but Eleven is unwilling, Dad, can you help us talk about it, and let Eleven come forward and give it a cure." Otherwise, his mother-in-law would To annoy him.
Grandpa Yang's eyes widened, "Okay, I just said that it's not normal for you to be courteous today, so you're waiting for me here, why, you have to ask me to do something to take care of me, right? You unfilial son! "
Uncle Yang died unjustly, "Dad, what do I mean, even if there is nothing wrong, I will come, Daddy, don't think of me so unfilial?"
Grandpa Yang snorted, "Eleventh girl is the benefactor of my family, how can I be the master of the family, if you want her to come forward, please ask for it yourself, and show your sincerity!"
"Yes, but..." Uncle Yang was embarrassed, "Eleven girls don't like silk flowers, so she definitely doesn't want to go and treat silk flowers and his brother's legs."
Grandpa Yang closed his eyes, "Whoever made your bitch offend others, I think it deserves it."
Uncle Yang sighed deeply, scratching his ears and cheeks anxiously, "Father, whether it will work or not, you can ask me if it will work? If it doesn't work, forget it."
Grandpa Yang's face sank. He was too lazy to listen to what he said. He waved his hand and chased him impatiently, "Yang Ershi, get out of here!"
Seeing that his father was angry again, Uncle Yang had no choice but to slip back in despair, not daring to say more, for fear of angering his father.
However, Grandpa Yang was only hard-faced but soft-hearted. In the end, he asked Eleven for Uncle Yang and finally said, "Don't be embarrassed, Miss Eleven, if you don't want to go, don't go, no one can embarrass you, neither do I. Just licking this old face and asking you again, don't be angry."
"It's nothing, I won't be angry." Eleven waved his hand, "But I really hate your second daughter-in-law, so I don't want to go, but well, it's not incurable, but I have the conditions."
When Grandpa Yang heard it, he asked, "What are the conditions? Eleven girls, you can just mention them. If they can't meet them, they won't be treated."
Eleven stretched out five fingers, "I want five taels of silver as a reward, and if I don't go, I will treat them when they come to the door themselves."
Five taels of silver? Grandpa Yang was taken aback by this number, but when he remembered the good medical skills of Eleven, he felt that it was not so expensive. Five taels of silver for a leg would be a good deal. Grandpa nodded and said, "Okay, I will tell my second son."
The reason why Eleven is willing to treat it, in fact, has nothing to do with Grandpa Yang at all. She has completely changed her mind, because she suddenly remembered that Grandpa Yang's legs will be gone in more than a month.
Well, she will be leaving by then. Before that, she can save some money while she is bored, and then she can go around to see and eat all kinds of delicious food. It is absolutely impossible without money. .
