In the book, I was fed by my sister

On the way back, Grandma Gu remained silent.

Song Ran looked at her red eyes and knew that Grandma Gu still missed the friendship they had in their youth.

Song Li snuggled up to her sister. Damai's story had a huge impact on her. She had thought that Damai's family just didn't want to raise her, but she didn't expect that there was something dirty behind it.

Staying in the comfortable environment for too long almost made her forget all the abusive things that happened to her.

When the donkey cart entered the village and reached the fork in the road, Grandma Gu suddenly stopped and said, "I want to go to that house."

That shabby house, Damayi’s home, can’t really be called a “courtyard”.

The mud wall was half destroyed and could be easily crossed with a big step. Even standing on the roadside, one could see the shabby thatched house, which gave people a desolate feeling.

Grandma Gu looked at the room and a trace of sadness flashed in her eyes.

She followed Zhou Huixin's instructions and found the slightly loose stone slab under the bed. She gently lifted the stone slab and a piece of cloth was revealed underneath.

Holding the cloth bag in my hand, I could feel its heavy weight. When I opened the bag, I saw small pieces of silver, copper coins, and a small silver hairpin inside.

"This is..." Song Ran asked in surprise. He didn't expect that there were so many valuables hidden under the bed.

Tears flashed in Grandma Gu's eyes, and she choked up and said, "If you are so cruel, why do you save all this money?"

After hearing this, Song Ran also understood that this was actually what Zhou Hui was hiding.

She looked at the tiny silver balls, some of which were only the size of a thumb. Zhou Huixin must have hidden them bit by bit, and she didn't know when she started planning this.

Grandma Gu began to narrate her conversation with Zhou Huixin in prison.

"Huixin said she wanted to take the child to find her parents. The child looks 70% like her, and her parents will definitely be happy."

"But it's too far away. I don't know how much money it will cost to find it."

"But she was getting old, and she was getting old faster and faster. She began to worry that her parents had passed away and that they wouldn't recognize her."

"She tried everything, but she couldn't save money fast enough to keep up with her aging."

Grandma Gu wiped away her tears and carefully rewrapped the silver.

As soon as they stepped out of the house, they ran into Li Peishan's son, who Da Mai called "Third Uncle" and was standing at the gate of the yard.

"What are you doing here?" Li Maosheng asked coldly.

"Come...come and pack your clothes." said Grandma Gu.

"A trace of disdain flashed across Li Maosheng's face, and he said sarcastically: "What can that fool do? Go away and don't come again. "

He might never have imagined that his mother Zhou Huixin had hidden so much money, otherwise she wouldn't have driven him away so easily.

Grandma Gu couldn't accept such an unreasonable request. She questioned, "What do you mean by that?"

Li Maosheng sneered and replied: "My brother and I have separated and are planning to build a house here."

"Where will Da Mai live in the future?" Grandma Gu couldn't help but ask.

Li Maosheng replied impatiently: "I don't care where that little beast lives! The title deed to this land is in the names of my mother and father. This place used to be a pile of firewood. My mother felt sorry for the beast, so she cleaned it up and gave it to her to live in temporarily." His words were full of disgust and contempt for Damai.

Grandma Gu knew this logic, but it was too cruel.

Li Maosheng added, "If you want to keep that little beast, then keep an eye on her and don't let her run around in the village. My children know that their grandfather died because of her. If this little beast wanders around in the village, be careful to be hit by a stone and die."

After twenty strokes of the board, although his skin was not torn, a large area of ​​bruises remained. In order to take care of him more conveniently, Gu A-po took Damai home. Li Maosheng knew about this, so he warned Gu A-po to keep an eye on Damai.

Grandma Gu's eyes were full of regret and anger. She said in a trembling voice: "You keep calling him a little beast, but that blood was shed the same as yours. You are too cruel." Her voice echoed in the empty yard, sounding extremely desolate.

Li Maosheng looked righteous and answered harshly: "Hmph! If it weren't for her, my parents wouldn't have died, and we wouldn't have been blocked at the door by Wu Yinhong every day. We didn't go looking for you and beat her to death because we are from the same village." His voice was full of resentment and dissatisfaction, as if all the misfortunes were caused by that "her".

"Boom!"

As soon as Li Maosheng finished saying this, the walls of the yard collapsed.

Soon after, two dilapidated thatched houses were also not spared and collapsed. Broken bricks and broken wood flew everywhere, and the scene was chaotic for a while.

The horizontal bar at the top of the door frame, as if guided by fate, fell squarely on Li Maosheng.

Song Li watched all this and couldn't help but sneer. He thought that this man was lucky because the door frame had long been rotten and only injured him, not killed him.

Seeing this, Li Maosheng's family members hurriedly pulled him out from under the crossbar.

Song Ran hugged his little sister tightly and fled the place quickly.

Song Li lay on her elder sister's shoulder, looking at the yard that looked like a ruin.

These people will never build a house here.

Song Ran and Grandma Gu returned home, still feeling frightened.

As soon as the door was opened, Barley was seen sitting in a pile of corn.

During this period of time, Song Ran discovered that although Da Mai was stupid, he was able to do some simple and repetitive tasks, such as rubbing corn kernels.

She liked to sit in the corn pile, repeating this action over and over again, rubbing the corn cobs until they were clean.

After Barley's buttock injury healed, he began to rub the corn with great interest, and would stack the clean corn cobs neatly on the ground.

After she finished rubbing Grandma Gu's house, she set her sights on Song Ran's house.

Seeing someone coming back, Barley danced with joy.

If the person who came was Su Xiaoxiao, she would be even happier and would shout "Sweet water."

August was about to pass and September was just around the corner. Song Ran began to plan to plant wheat and rapeseed.

The land needs to be prepared, fertilized and deep plowed.

She decided to make dumplings by herself at noon so that she would have something to fill her stomach after working in the afternoon.

She suggested to Grandma Gu: "Grandma, you don't have to cook at noon. I'll make the dumplings and take them to the fields in the afternoon."

After hearing this, Grandma Gu nodded and agreed: "Okay, I'll help you chop the stuffing."

Barley heard this and immediately shouted excitedly, "Baozi! I love them!"
