Chapter 8 Uncle feels distressed

When the pheasant heard the noise and was about to raise its head, he picked up a pole and hit it on the head hard and fast. The pheasant was unconsciously knocked unconscious.

"Hehehe! You can have extra food tonight, and you can even send some to grandma!"

Xia Chuxue picked up the knocked-out pheasant and went home without feeling at all that her flexibility was unusual.

When I returned home and saw the two people standing at the door of my house, the good mood of catching pheasants was instantly broken. Their expressions were cold, as if they had never seen those people before.

When he passed by, he didn't even raise his head.

"Outcast wait!"

Xia Chuxue stopped and still didn't turn around, looking aloof and cold.

She originally had such a cold temperament, and her grandmother always felt sorry for her, saying that she lacked the innocence of her daughter's family and was too sensible, so in order to make the only person she cared about in her life happy, she always pretended to be innocent.

Now that grandma is gone, there is no need for her to compromise with these people. After all, pretending to be very close makes everyone tired.

"Give!"

The second uncle and the third uncle looked at each other, then each took a small red cloth bag and stuffed it into Xia Chuxue's arms. Without saying any unnecessary nonsense, they turned around and left.

His eyes dodge quickly, as if he is afraid of being discovered by others.

He opened the cloth bags in his hands one by one with suspicion.

When she looked at what was inside, her pupils dilated, with a look of disbelief on her face.

Uncle...what do they mean?
I saw another stack of red RMB wrapped in the two cloth bags. The thickness was about 2 yuan, which added up to [-] yuan.

This 4 yuan may not be a big deal to a wealthy family, but for this small mountain village with inconvenient transportation, it would be impossible to save that much money for seven or eight years.

If we take away the food, drink, clothing, and clothing for the whole family, there will be very little left throughout the year, and some people even don’t have enough food and clothing at all.

Xia Chuxue held two wads of money in her arms and felt extremely complicated.

She recalled that when she was a child, she sometimes accidentally saw her three uncles looking at her with loving eyes. When she rubbed their eyes and looked carefully, they turned their heads away again, and she thought they had seen wrongly.

Just why?
Why do they pretend to hate themselves?Is it purely because of my aunt?
Before she died, my grandmother said that she would not blame her uncle and the others. They also had their own lives and their own difficulties.

Maybe my eldest aunt was right. When my mother was in college, her three uncles spent all their money trying to raise tuition for her, but my mother was so unsatisfied that she dropped out of school and became pregnant with her.

The atmosphere in the countryside is very conservative. Instead of being proud of her family, she was criticized by her fellow villagers. How could she not be angry?
Moreover, every uncle has already married and has his own life. How can he take care of the children while taking care of the adults? Moreover, he is still a child who brings a stain on his own family.

Thinking of this, Xia Chuxue's originally cold heart warmed up a bit.

It was obviously my mother and the cheap dad who had never met who did something wrong, so why do they hate a few uncles?They have done their best.

As for her three aunts, she could understand that if she were to put herself in their shoes, she would not be willing to help a...bastard who would discredit herself.

Xia Chuxue has been trying desperately to get rid of her identity as a 'bastard' since she was a child. In fact, in a sense, she really can't get rid of it.

Although she could understand what her uncles did, she couldn't forgive her in her heart. She was just a child. What did she do wrong?You have to bear so much pressure!Even if you don’t provide financial help, you can give me a smiling face, right?
If it weren't for a strong and indifferent heart, I probably wouldn't be alive today.It was okay for others to scold her, but even her own family members kept scolding her for being a bastard. How could she not feel chilled by this?How not to be indifferent?

Even if this is true…………! !

Xia Chuxue laughed at herself, thinking of the word 'bastard', but there was no pain like she had when she was a child, only endless indifference, and no ripples in her heart at all.

No, she can support herself, but she can't ask for the money her uncle bought. Otherwise, when her aunt finds out, the family will rebel?

My cousin is already old enough to propose marriage. When the time comes, he won't be able to get any gifts, and because of this, he won't be called his wife. My grandmother will not rest in peace in heaven.

He threw the pheasant into the space and walked towards the terrace with two wads of money.

She knew that farming was busy now, so her uncles must be working in the fields, and it was not convenient to give them at home. If her aunt saw her, something might happen.

Sure enough, the second uncle was naked and was digging the ground with a big shovel in his hand.

"Second uncle!"

Xia Laoer turned around when he heard the voice and saw Xia Chuxue holding a red cloth bag in her arms, and his expression suddenly changed.

Throwing away the big shovel in his hand, he ran in front of her in a few steps, looked around nervously, then lowered his head and said sternly.

"Hurry up and take this thing back. Don't let Second Aunt know about it. She is resting down there and will come up soon. You hurry up and leave!"

The voice was small, but it carried a determination that could not be refused.

"I can't ask for this money. I have a scholarship. You don't have to worry about tuition. Besides, I can also work-study. My cousin has reached the age to propose marriage..."

Before he finished speaking, the second uncle pushed himself a few meters away as if he had seen a ghost and cursed loudly.

"What are you doing here, you damn girl? I have no money, so get out! If you don't get out, do you believe I will beat you to death?"

As soon as she finished saying this, the second aunt staggered over from the bottom of the mountain, glanced at Xia Chuxue thoughtfully, and then went back to work in the terraces without saying a word.

Xia Laoer pushed Xia Chuxue and winked at her desperately.

In the end, Xia Chuxue directly stuffed the wad of money in her hand into her second uncle's arms, turned around and ran away.

Xia Laoer had no choice. His wife was still beside him and he couldn't catch up. He could only sigh deeply and said to his wife.

"I'm going home first, I'm a little thirsty!"

Xia Lao's second daughter-in-law put down the shovel in her hand and walked over slowly, her eyes filled with tears.

"I know you love that girl, so you have to think about our boy. He is still waiting for money to find a wife. If you don't find one at this age, it will be even harder to find one in the future! I beg you, don't patronize that sister. Think about our big family!"

The 'sister' in the words is the only youngest sister of the three brothers of the Xia family, and is also Xia Chuxue's mother. She has been loved by many since she was a child. Although her family background is not good, she has won the love of her brothers, which she has never had. Suffered hardship.
