Poor family mother and son

Chapter 1 One Foot, Another Foot

"Look at the question and the question! Where are your eyes looking!"

Chu Qing slapped the table with a "slap", and yelled at his son, "Chickens and rabbits share the same cage, let the number of chickens be X, how many chicken feet are there?"

It's been more than 40 minutes, just such a problem, I have repeated it no less than 8 times, and I still can't change the number to solve the problem.

Seeing his son's blank face, Chu Qing picked up the ruler engraved with the "Heart Sutra" and drew it on his son's shoulder!
Looking at his furious mother, Meng Dao murmured: "You turn me back to when I was a child! When I was a child, you never hit me and loved me very much. If you don't love me now, you are not my mother anymore!"

With a breath stuck in her throat, Chu Qing couldn't speak, only felt the blood rushing to the top of her head, and her headache was about to explode!But Meng Dao slammed the door and went out after saying that!Chu Qing's eyes darken...

"Uh……"

Feeling a sudden pain in the abdomen, the pain was so painful that she felt nauseous, Chu Qing opened her eyes, and saw a woman in ancient costume with her hands on her hips, staring at her ferociously, while she was lying on the ground.

"Get out! Get out now! Get out immediately! Get out of my mother right now!"

Before she finished speaking, the woman in ancient costume stepped forward and kicked Chu Qing's abdomen again.

"Uh……"

Can't help but hum again, Chu Qing understood, this should be the second kick.That first kick was the reason I woke up just now.This kick was not light, Chu Qing didn't even ask "who am I, where am I, what am I doing", the important one-button triple, and passed out again.

In the daze, Chu Qing seemed to have a dream, and also seemed to watch a video.

In a small village that is as backward as in an ancient costume TV series, there is a firewood house of a family.

A woman in her early twenties was carrying a load of firewood and was about to leave the firewood shed when she heard the uncle and sister-in-law whispering to someone in the outer courtyard, saying something like "pay with one hand and deliver with the other".

The woman walked out of the woodshed in doubt, and saw a familiar half-old dark blue floral swaddle being handed over by the elder brother to a man with whiskers, and the elder uncle took the two ingots of silver ingots handed over by the beard with a happy smile. .

"Wow..." The cry of the baby came from the baby in the swaddle, and the familiar voice instantly let the woman know that her half-year-old son had been sold by this couple!
"Understood..." The woman shouted and rushed forward, but she was slapped back by her elder brother and fell to the ground. She hurriedly got up and wanted to chase after her, but she saw that the bearded man had already got on the horse's back with his baby in his arms and passed away. go……

The picture flashed in a hurry, the woman was tied up and collapsed in the woodshed, the door of the woodshed was closed tightly.The woman has been imprisoned for two days, no water or rice has been eaten, and she is in a daze.

The door of the firewood room was opened, and the light outside the door was dazzling. Two strong women broke in in broad daylight. Like pigs waiting to be slaughtered, they used a long stick to lift the rope that bound the women and walked out. Outside the door, The uncle and sister-in-law are holding the five taels of silver in their hands with a smile on their faces...

The scene changed again, the woman used a trick to untie her on the road, knocked the two strong women unconscious with the wooden stick that carried her, and tied the two strong women back to back with the rope that bound her. He spared the two of them several times, searched for the broken silver on the bodies of the two strong women, and fled staggeringly...

The scene turned again, the woman inquired all the way to a small town, bought a set of half-new clothes with the last copper coins, walked into a small restaurant, found a job as a cook for herself, and stayed temporarily.

The woman's cooking skills are not bad, which makes the sluggish business start to improve, and the proprietress of the restaurant asks the maid beside her to carry her son to go shopping with her every day...

Time flies, and after more than two years, the proprietress disliked her son more and more, and she refused to hug her son. She often poked the child's mouth with her finger, muttering, "Why is he such a fool, why can't he speak!"

And the child just bit his lower lip and looked at her steadily, without crying or even showing any expression.

Chu Qing slowly opened her eyes, what an inexplicable dream!Slowly getting up, my abdomen still hurts, and the shoe prints are still clearly printed on my body, I am confused, what kind of clothes are these, skirts or skirts, gowns or gowns, or slanted fronts, gray or not, Very rough.

Looking around, I was in an alley full of sewage, no one passed by, and I couldn't find someone to ask.

Through the sewage on the ground, I can clearly see the current appearance: a gray slanted gown, with an ancient married woman's hair bun that can only be seen on TV, and a piece of hair that is as gray as the clothes on the hair bun. The slippery veil, and that face...

Chu Qing was startled, she looked around nervously, but there was no one else, so it seemed that what was reflected in the sewage was really herself, the face of the woman in the dream!

After she regained her composure, another image flashed in Chu Qing's mind, oh, I see.I am the woman in the dream. Her husband was conscripted. Three months later, the bad news came, saying that the war was tight. The recruits who had just been recruited went directly to the battlefield. None of them survived. The one in the next village came back seriously injured. Survivors hugged their heads and wailed, "All dead...all dead...".

The elder brother is clever, he pretended to break his leg during the conscription, and sent his younger brother to serve in the army, leaving behind his younger sister-in-law and the newborn child.After learning that none of the conscripted soldiers in the village survived, he sold his younger brother's children and his younger sister-in-law. Not only did he get 25 taels of silver, but he also monopolized the family property.

Chu Qing shook her head, and sighed helplessly: I have time-traveled, I am afraid that I have a cerebral hemorrhage while helping children with their homework, I am afraid that I am No.1.

"Gululu...", the sound of bowel sounds interrupted his train of thought, and he pressed his stomach, which hurt and was still hungry.

A small hand pulled the corner of Chu Qing's clothes, Chu Qing lowered her head, and saw a somewhat familiar child staring at her with no expression.This is the son of the proprietress in the dream.

Chu Qing knelt down to look at the child, and the images flashed in her mind let her know that this was not the child born by the proprietress. The proprietress found out she was pregnant last month, and she treated the child even worse. Give food, say that you have lost a lot, spend so much money in exchange for a fool, don't respond to anything, can't say anything, what a fool!
It turned out that the proprietress had been married for several years and had no children, so she adopted a child.At the beginning, I was okay with the child, and I liked it very much. After the child was more than one year old, he still didn't speak, so he became anxious.

If the child still doesn't talk at the age of two, it's even more troublesome, and the more I don't like it, and the child doesn't cry or fuss and doesn't show any expression, so I suspect he is a fool.Seeing that she was still silent at the age of three, the neighbors in the neighborhood laughed at her behind her back.

It just so happened that she was pregnant, and she couldn't even look down on this child.

And because the restaurant owner can't have sex with pregnant women, he has his eye on Chu Qing, the cook. During the fight with the restaurant owner, Chu Qing was bumped into by the lady owner, so she lied and said that Chu Qing stole money from the counter, and that he was being searched.

We've been married for several years, so the proprietress doesn't know what kind of virtue the boss is. If it weren't for the fact that there are many older brothers in her natal family, there might only be a bunch of wives and concubines in the family.

But you can't tell if you see through, and you still have to live.It just so happened that the boss's lie was a good excuse, so the proprietress and the restaurant staff knocked Chu Qing unconscious on a bench, kicked him a few times, and threw it out the back door.

Chu Qing looked at the child in front of him who was thinking, and his expression was a little dull.

"Gululu..." There was another bowel sound, and Chu Qing finally came back to his senses.

"Xiaobao...", just as Chu Qing opened his mouth, the child in front of him, Xiaobao, took out something from his arms and handed it to Chu Qing. It was a boiled egg.

"You...where did you get it?" Xiaobao pointed to the door behind Chuqing, which was the back door of the tavern.That's right, where else can children under three years old get eggs to eat?

Chu Qing shook his head: "I'm not hungry, you can eat, go back quickly after eating, or your mother will beat you again." eggs.

"Xiaobao, go home quickly, I should go."

Chu Qing stood up and prepared to leave.

No matter how bad Xiaobao's situation is, at least he still has a place to live, but he has been kicked out, and he still doesn't know where to go.

Turning around to leave, the corner of her clothes was pulled again. This time, Xiaobao was holding onto the corner of her clothes with one hand, while still holding the egg with the other.

"You want me to eat?" Chu Qing knelt down and looked at Xiao Bao, who brought the egg close to Chu Qing's mouth.Chu Qing was hungry, so he didn't hesitate, peeled off the shell and took a bite, then brought it to Xiaobao's mouth: "It's your turn".Xiao Bao didn't respond, but still looked at him.Chu Qing waited for a while, thinking: "Is this kid really a fool?"

After eating the whole egg, Chu Qing felt even hungrier.Before it was dark, I had to quickly find a place for myself.

So I bid farewell to Xiaobao: "Xiaobao, the eggs are delicious, I am full, thank you. I really have to go, if I don't go, I will have no place to stay when it gets dark."

Xiaobao reacted this time, both of his little hands grasped Chu Qing's skirt. "You want to come with me? That's not okay, your mother and father will be angry."

Xiaobao's little hand tightened again, pulling, and then turned to look at the entrance of the alley.Chu Qing saw the fingerprints on Xiaobao's neck and the burn on his wrist.

Chu Qing recalled the dream where the proprietress was pinching Xiao Bao's neck and shaking: "You fool, you eat and drink my old lady's food, and cheated my old lady of so much money!"

Sighed, ever since the proprietress found out that she was pregnant, she wanted to sell Xiaobao to make up for the loss, but the neighbors all knew that her child couldn't speak and was a fool, and the buyer would know it after a little inquiry, so she kept Can't sell it either.

So Xiaobao was beaten and scolded every day, and was often not given food.If Xiaobao really goes back, he probably won't live to grow up.

Chu Qing hugged Xiao Bao: "I'll take it as if you're going to follow me. Let's live together." The corner of Xiao Bao's mouth twitched, and Chu Qing felt that Xiao Bao was smiling, but when he looked carefully, it was That expressionless, wooden look.
