Quick travel: The poor little thing in the period novel strikes back

"Our family is not rich to begin with. Liang Zhi has been taking medicine for so many years that he has already eaten up all our savings. Our Jiaxue is still studying in town and he also needs money."

"Now all we have left is the house we live in, the things my family and I learned, and the pots and pans we use. We only have 30 yuan, no coupons at all, and only a few dozen kilograms of coarse grains."

"This house cannot be divided. If you want to move back, you can live in the woodshed. I can give you two sets of bowls and chopsticks, but I only have one pot, which I cannot give to you. If you want it, there is a medicine pot that my eldest brother used to cook medicine. I have to pay for the tuition of the family school with this money, and the family also has expenses."

Widow Wang remained silent after saying this. It seemed like she had reported her family's assets, but it was hard to tell whether it was true or false.

"Sister Wang, this is not very kind of you. Your old Liang has been a model worker in the village every year and has earned a lot of work points. Even if Liang Zhi takes medicine, he gets it from the village doctor and the money is known. You are hiding it like this. Do you want me to come and search for it myself?"

"You dare!" Wang Qiuhong became anxious when she heard Liu Cuimiao say she would search the house, and the two were about to quarrel.

Shi Yan quickly reached out and pulled Liu Cuimiao, who was about to go forward to fight, and walked forward a few steps and came in front of Widow Wang and her son.

"I don't want a house, nor do I want the money. I just want Zhige to have medicine to drink. If Auntie's yard is used to provide Zhige with medicine, I don't want anything else. Please save Zhige generously."

Crystal clear tears kept sliding down her cheeks. The delicate girl's frail body looked like it would fall down if the wind blew, but she reached out with a determined look and grabbed the arm of the plump middle-aged woman tightly.

"Let go, why are you holding me? I can't afford this medicine jar, let go!"

Wang Qiuhong was suddenly caught and her heart skipped a beat, but she knew that she couldn't act recklessly in the current situation lest she be at a disadvantage. She still shook her hands uncomfortably. She was clearly controlling the strength, but the person in front of her was thrown out like catkins in the wind, and then fell to the ground.

"Xiaolian!"

"Damn it."

Zhao Ze was pushing a cart of wheat husks mixed with lime, and next to him was a cart of straw. He was originally rushing to repair the roof for his sister-in-law before dark, but he didn't expect to see the delicate sister-in-law being pushed down when he arrived.

With a low curse, Zhao Ze dropped what he was holding and rushed forward to help the man up.

"Are you okay, sister-in-law?"

Shi Yan's fall was just an act. When someone pulled her up, she stood up naturally. However, she didn't expect that the person who helped her up was the little bully who had disappeared for the whole afternoon.

"Wang Qiuhong, what do you mean? Just say what you want to say. How can you hit a child? Don't you see that Xiaolian is so thin and weak? How can she withstand a beating from you?"

"Right, right, right. Don't you see how small her body is? She's bullying me just because she's an elder!"

"What the hell, why did Lao Liang marry such a troublemaker?"

"…………"

People are born to sympathize with the weak. Widow Wang was embarrassed by the constant chatter and wanted to argue, but when she saw Shi Yan's pale face, she was not sure if she had accidentally thrown her out.

"Everyone, please stop talking. My mother was careless. Just do as she said. Divide the things in the house in half. The conditions here are not good. It is better for big brother to come back home and live. Also, give all the money to big brother's family so that big brother can buy medicine. As for the food, give big brother 30 kilograms. This is what big brother deserves. Please go with us to get it, Aunt Liu."

The teenage boy had a serious expression on his face. He looked at Shi Yan with an apologetic look in his eyes and was about to pull Wang Qiuhong away.

The villagers who were originally blaming Wang Qiuhong now fell silent. Instead, some people praised Liang Jiaxue for being a great guy and said he would become a successful person in the future.

Widow Wang was not a good person, but the son she gave birth to was a well-mannered one. However, this was not enough. The original owner's wish was to marry Zhao Ze, so she had to cut off all ties with the Liang family to avoid trouble in the future.

"Wait! I need to say something."

As soon as Shi Yan opened her mouth, the mother and son, who had already taken a few steps, stopped.

"Brother-in-law, I know you are doing this for your elder brother's good, but you are still studying and I am old. After all, I am grateful that Zhige married me, but I am also grateful that I was willing to take me in. I can't have everything for myself."

"I won't move to this house. After all, Zhige is weak and can't move around. Besides, my brother-in-law needs to pay tuition, which costs money."

"I just want food, some clothes to change into, and some daily necessities. Just give me five dollars, enough for my medicines for the next few days.

I have studied medicine with the village doctor in my previous village. When Zhige gets better, I will go to the mountains to collect herbs and boil them for Zhige to drink, which can save some money. "

"There's just one thing. Brother Zhi can't leave me for a long time. I have to collect herbs and take care of him, so I may not be able to fulfill my filial piety to Aunt Wang. So I think since we are splitting up this time, we should split it up clearly and stop communicating. No matter what happens to us in the future, we will not trouble Aunt and Brother-in-law anymore."

Shi Yan's words were tantamount to breaking off relations. As the saying goes, more friends mean more paths. What's more, they are relatives after all. If you really ask for help, you won't be able to refuse in the village.

Aunt Liu pulled Shi Yan and wanted her to think it over carefully, but when she saw her determined look, she finally sighed.

"It's true that Liang Zhi can't live without people. Let's divide it according to what Xiaolian said. What do you think, Sister Wang?"

"Okay, let's do what she said. I still have some strength and can take care of myself. You just need to live well."

Although Wang Qiuhong still felt a little painful, it was much better than the previous division. She quickly agreed and pulled her son away without noticing Liang Jiaxue's somewhat gloomy expression.

The things that belonged to the Liang family's division were delivered personally by Liang Jiaxue before dark.

At this time, the roof of the dilapidated house had been repaired by Zhao Ze and his younger brother Shuanzi. At this moment, the two of them were using the old furniture cleared out of the house to make a set of tables and chairs for Shi Yan.

"Sister-in-law, these are for you and big brother."

Liang Jiaxue came over pushing a cart with two large bags of grain on one side and a large wooden box on the other. Clothes, daily necessities and other small items were all neatly stacked in the box. It didn't look like Wang Qiuhong had packed it, so it could only have been done by this half-grown brother-in-law.

"Jiaxue, thank you for your hard work. The things are a bit heavy. Can you help me carry them into the house?"

"It's okay, sister-in-law."

Although the expression on the boy's face remained unchanged, his red ears revealed his discomfort at the moment.
