Chapter 20 It's Better To Let Me Die

Fortunately, the chicken seller followed her far away, "Chicken, chicken, chicken seller!"

Xi'er knocked on the door of her house, "Mom, I'm back"

"Girl, what the hell is this?"

"Bamboo scorpion, use it as a shelf for the vegetables. I'm not at home tomorrow, so you can take down the vegetable shelf in the vegetable garden."

"It's enough to use a branch, why spend money on it?"

"That's not pretty, and it's not strong. Let's use this one. It's not expensive. It's only twenty yuan for such a big bundle."

"I'm exhausted after all the way back"

Xi'er put the bamboo pole down against the wall, then put down the bamboo basket behind her, took out a puppy from it and put it on the ground.

"Mom, I also bought a dog, our family must have a housekeeper"

As soon as Mrs. Luo was about to speak, Xi'er went out with a basket on her back, "Mother, there are chickens sold outside, I'll go buy some."

When she went, there were already several houses watching, and she ignored those people and said directly.

"Uncle, here's a rooster and nine hens. This is fifty cents for chickens, and thirty cents for dogs."

The man took the copper coins and put them in his arms, "Good guy, for the sake of buying ten of you at once, uncle will add a hen for you."

"Hee hee, thank you uncle"

The fluffy, yellow and orange chicks were quickly picked out and put into her basket. She picked up the basket and ran home quickly, as if she was afraid that others would snatch her.

By the time the villagers reacted, she had already blocked the gate of her own courtyard.

Those people were discussing while picking the chicks.

"Widow Luo borrowed 12 taels of silver from Lao Ma's house, but she didn't expect to have money to buy chicken cubs"

"Maybe it was saved by her before. I heard that she treated that ugly girl very well and spent a lot of money on her. I guess there is not much left. The acre of land is gone. Let's see how she will live in the future." "

"I heard that she took a job at the embroidery village in the town"

"Just that old bark hand, can you still do embroidery? It's not bad if you don't scratch other people's cloth."

"Ha ha"

Xi'er, who closed the door, moved her ears, and then sneered. Seeing Mrs. Luo, she hurriedly turned her smiling face, and raised the basket to ask for credit.

"Look, there are eleven chicks, one male and ten females. From now on, our eggs will be easy to eat."

"Hey, put them in the chicken coop over here"

"There won't be mice picking them up at night, will they?"

"No, there are many wild cats in our village, and there are not many mice. With this puppy watching, even if it is still small, the mice will run away when they see it."

"Then let's get another cat"

"You can raise it if you want, as long as you like it"

The mother and daughter arranged the chicken coop and put the chicks in it. Mrs. Luo couldn't close her mouth with joy seeing these little guys.

Quickly mixed some cornmeal for them, and put some water in a small broken bowl into the chicken coop. Seeing the black dog whimpering around their feet, she went to the kitchen to serve it again. I ordered half a bowl of cornmeal porridge.

The puppy smelled the food, ran over immediately, and ate it hungrily.

Xi'er took the purse out of her pocket, counted out a hundred cash and handed it to Mrs. Luo.

"Here, you take it"

"Again, is it one hundred Wen again?"

"Yeah, just keep it. There's a lot of work in the town. I'll find something to sell when I'm free, and the money will come quickly."

"Take it easy, don't get tired"

"Understood, mother, how is Brother Ji Kang?"

"Yo, I'm so happy to be patronizing. Brother Ji Kang woke up and ate a bowl of porridge and a pancake."

"I gonna go see"

Xi'er rushed into the house and saw Ji Kang lying flat, staring blankly at the roof.

She sat on the edge of the kang and asked with big eyes, "Brother Ji Kang, are you awake?"

Only then did Ji Kang shift his gaze to her, "I heard from my aunt that it was you who gave me the straight bones?"

"Yes, you should be lucky that I can set your bones, otherwise, your two legs will be useless."

"Hey, what are you doing to save me, you might as well let me die"

"Hey, let me ask you, you are so injured, how do you know how to climb home? Why didn't you just die in Black Bear Mountain?"

"I"

"Knowing the virtues of your adoptive mother's family, if you go back, you just want to have a chance to survive. Don't be so stubborn, such a home is not worth you to go back to.
With this incident, you can see their true colors clearly. You will have nothing to do with them in the future. With your life, you still have more than ten years of dedication.
And the money from selling your body has been paid back to his family for their upbringing. My mother is so good, she can borrow money to buy you and hire a doctor for you. You can go and enjoy yourself.
Where can I find such a good old man as my mother, from now on, you can stay at home with peace of mind, and when your injury recovers, just be filial to my mother."

Xi'er's mouth was like a collapsed bean, and she babbled a lot, and when she was done, she patted him on the shoulder lightly.

"Mother said, you will be her son in the future, and she will treat us both as her own. If you are sleepy, you will sleep for a while. If you are not sleepy, you will continue to look at the roof. I have to go to work. Remember, you It is your blessing to be able to leave the Ji family, and it is also your blessing to be able to come to this family."

Xi'er walked out of the house and went to the kitchen to look at the wheat seeds. In two days, she could make sugar.

After coming out of the kitchen, she built a kennel for the puppy and spread some rags inside, but the little black dog kept walking behind her after eating.

She picked up the puppy, "You are so edible, so strong, so cheerful, can I call you a black cow?"

Mrs. Luo came out from the back of the room, cleaned her hands in the basin, wiped them clean, and watched her daughter play with the black dog, grinning.

"Girl, mother is going to cook, what do you want to eat tonight?"

"Let's have lump soup, nest a few eggs in it"

"We don't have any eggs"

Xi'er patted the purse in her arms, "I'll go to Uncle Ma's to buy some."

"It's not easy for you to make money, why don't you know how to save money"

"If you earn money, you spend it. Besides, it's buying eggs. It's good for your health to eat at your age. I'm skinny, so I have to eat eggs. Besides, there is brother Ji Kang at home, and I need to make up for it. Only when my health is better." , to make money to support the family.”

"You little mouth has a set, you can buy it if you want."

"How do they sell their eggs?"

"Two papers for one, buy ten more and get one more"

"Oh, I'll go then"

She carried a basket from the kitchen and went to Ma's house with it on her arm.

"Uncle Ma, Aunt Ma, is anyone at home?"

Xi'er stood at the gate of the courtyard and did not go in. Her shout was immediately answered.

"Yes, yes, come in"

A woman in her early forties came out of the room, and she looked at Xi'er.

"Are you Sister Luo's daughter?"

"Yes, Auntie, isn't Uncle Ma at home?"

"He's out of the car. If you have something to say, just tell me. I'm also in charge of my family's affairs."

"I want to buy some eggs from your house, do you have any?"

"Yes, yes, how much do you want?"

"Come fifty"

"There are so many, can your family finish it?"

"After eating, my mother wants to make up for my body. I need to make up for being so thin, and my new brother needs to make up for it. Fifty will be eaten soon. I will buy it again at that time, and I will save your eggs for me." Ha"

"Haha, okay, okay, I'll keep it for you"

Aunt Ma counted fifty eggs into the basket for her, and added five more. Xi'er counted out one hundred Wen and handed it to her, then smiled politely at her.

"Auntie, I'm leaving"

"Go, go, what a good boy"

As soon as she reached the door, she turned around and asked, "The fifty jars I bought with Uncle Ma last time, my mother didn't give it to you, did she?"

"no"

Xi'er hurriedly took out the money bag, took out two silver horns and fifty copper coins, walked over and put them in her hands.

"Then pay back the small money first, the 12 taels of silver, I will pay you back when I have saved enough."

"Yo, where did you get the money?"

"In the town, work for the big family"

"Oh, thank you so much"

"It's not bitter, it's much better than being in Li's house, I'm leaving auntie"

When Xi'er came home, Mrs. Luo was lighting a fire and mixing lumps.

"Mother, I will return the fifty pot money to Ma's family, so you don't have to worry about it."

After finishing speaking, she put the basket on the chopping board. Mrs. Luo glanced at the basket and took a deep breath.

"Buy so much?"
