Chapter 237 Growing Mushrooms

After the original owner's parents sold the house allocated by their original unit, they moved to a bigger house and brought their grandmother, uncle, aunt, cousins ​​and other relatives from their hometown to live with them.

The original owner could have been assigned a room, but with this arrangement, her room was occupied by her uncle, aunt and cousin, and she and her cousin were assigned to share a room with their grandmother.

My grandmother likes to eat mushrooms and she grew some oyster mushrooms in the countryside. But when she came to the city, mushrooms were too expensive and there was no place for her to grow them.

Grandma cleaned up an area in the house and started growing mushrooms.

Ever since grandma started growing mushrooms at home, the whole family has been coughing for no apparent reason, and then catching a cold, which didn't get better for a long time.

The original owner never liked having her grandmother and uncle and aunt living at home, especially her uncle and aunt, who treated her house as if it were their own property and wanted to control what the original owner ate and did.

Grandma only loved her cousins, and her parents turned a blind eye to the bullying that the original owner suffered. The original owner also resisted and threw away all of her grandma's mushrooms.

Although she was beaten, grandma stopped growing mushrooms and the health of the whole family improved.

Grandma couldn't grow mushrooms well, so she had to buy them at the vegetable market. Ten years later, because her cousin got married, the original owner's parents couldn't afford to buy a wedding house, so they refused to provide support for the original owner's parents until the end of their lives.

"It's all this money-loser's fault. If she hadn't lost my mushrooms, our family would have saved a lot of money on groceries. Otherwise, we wouldn't be unable to buy a house now. Don't blame Xiaobao for not wanting to support you in your old age. Blame Zhang Shan, this money-loser!"

Under the spiritual suggestion of grandma, the original owner's parents pushed the original owner down the stairs, and the original owner died, but they did not have a good life in their later years because they had no money to buy a wedding house for their cousin. In order to let their cousin take care of them in their old age, they humbled themselves and served their cousin and his wife.

But when they got too old and could no longer work, they were kicked out of their homes and eventually froze to death next to a trash can.

……

"Zhang Shan, I heard that your family bought a new house and invited people from your hometown to live here. Is that true?"

"Are your grandma and your uncle and aunt coming to live here too?"

"I heard that your parents are going to transfer the house to your cousin. Is that true?"

"Your parents are really something. They don't love their own children, but they expect other people's children to take care of them in their old age. Can you count on other people's children? I don't know what they are thinking."

"You know, the Zhang family is very son-in-law, and they usually send any delicious food they have to the countryside, saying they are being filial to their parents. In fact, they are just trying to curry favor with their brothers, sisters, and nephews in the countryside."

"If you ask me, it's better to give birth to a son yourself. It's better to raise your own son than someone else's. You don't have to worry about raising an ungrateful person."

"It's not that they don't want to, but before... Old Zhang hurt his roots. He won't be able to have children in the future. It's pitiful."

The topic suddenly changed and started talking about the accident involving Zhang's father. Zhang Shan listened with great interest.

The Zhang family has already bought a house, it is an unfinished house. During this period of time, Zhang's father has taken time out to scrape the white marble. Because they have no money after buying the house, they can only scrape the white marble themselves.

Zhang Shan followed the group of aunts and grandmas and listened to gossip for most of the day. After eating half a full meal, she walked towards the new house.

As soon as she entered the room, she saw Zhang's father scraping putty with a dusty face. She looked around and found a bright and spacious room. She didn't know who owned it, nor did she know whether it belonged to Zhang's father and mother, but to that cousin.

My cousin is still young and can’t sleep by himself, so this room became my uncle and aunt’s room.

Later, my cousin got older and it was impossible for my uncle and aunt to move out, so in the end, Zhang's father and mother gave up their rooms and moved to the balcony.

"Why are you coming back now?"

"You are so grown up, but you don't know how to help out at home. You just go out to play all day. It's better to raise a dog than to raise you. A dog knows how to wag its tail." Zhang's mother did not forget to scold while cooking.

Zhang Shan learned from the original owner's memory that this was the norm in their family. The original owner tried to inspire the love her parents gave her, but failed.

They would rather pamper a nephew who is not close to them than focus on their own biological daughter.

"Dad, this balcony is small, built with bricks, and it's also inside a room."

"It's so small, who would live there?"

"me!"

Mom and Dad live in one room, Uncle, Aunt and Xiaobao live in one room, Grandma and my cousin live in one room, and I live here. "

"It's such a small place, don't make a scene and say you don't want to live here, let your grandma live here? I'm telling you, Zhang Shan, if you dare to do that, don't blame me for beating you to death!"

"Dad, I want a room of my own. It doesn't matter if it's a little smaller. I don't want to live with my cousin."

Bricklaying is not a difficult task, it only requires a few bricks. Looking at the extra bricks, Zhang's father agreed.

Zhang Shan stood by and gave instructions. When Zhang's father was getting impatient, Zhang's mother had already cooked the meal.

By this time, it was already dark.

Zhang Shan's small room did not have any putty, so she could move in after just two days of drying it.

this day.

Grandma and uncle and aunt's family finally arrived. Zhang's father and mother went to the station to pick them up, carrying large and small bags, which attracted a lot of people's attention along the way.

There are many people carrying urea bags these days.

But the people we met along the way were all colleagues of Zhang's parents, and it seemed from the looks of the uncle and aunt that they were going to stay for a long time.

It is possible that they will never leave.

"Zhang Shan, come over and help me move the things."

Zhang's mother came in carrying a big bag, followed by her aunt, who was holding a four-year-old boy in her arms. The boy was chubby and had candy in his hand. After entering the room, his eyes scanned everywhere. When he saw Zhang's mother's red skirt, he dropped the candy, reached out and grabbed the red skirt, which was torn with a scratch sound.

That skirt cost dozens of dollars, and Zhang's mother usually didn't want to wear it. When she saw the skirt was torn, she felt so heartbroken.

"I'm sorry, sister-in-law. Xiaobao is still young and doesn't know anything. When he grows up, I will buy new skirts for his aunt and let them live in a big house..." said the aunt guiltily.

Zhang's mother is still counting on Xiaobao to support her in her old age, so she doesn't dare to vent her anger on Xiaobao now.

When I looked up, I saw Zhang Shan sitting there motionless.

"Zhang Shan, didn't I ask you to put away your clothes when you left this morning? How can you do this? If you can't even do this, how could I have given birth to a daughter like you?"

Zhang Shan was scolded for no reason. Although she was unhappy, she did not show it on her face. They did not care about her emotions at all and might even scold her even more harshly.

"Sister-in-law, don't blame Shanshan. She is still young. You just need to teach her more and she will come back. Look at our Tingting. Although she is two years younger than Shanshan, she can do everything from cooking to sweeping the floor."

The aunt's words were like adding fuel to the fire, making Zhang's mother lose face in front of the aunt. She was already inferior to her sisters-in-law because she couldn't give birth to a son, and she needed her nephew to support her in her old age, so she had never been able to hold her head up high.

Now even her own daughter is not as good as her niece. When Zhang's mother looked at Zhang Shan, she wanted to eat her.

"Mom, didn't you ask me to go buy groceries when you went out? When did you ask me to collect the clothes? Did you remember it wrong? Are you going through menopause?"

"Whatever I say is what it is. You actually took the blame, you unfilial daughter!"

Zhang's mother wanted to hit Zhang Shan, but Zhang Shan dodged to the side, revealing a basket of eggs behind her that her grandmother brought back from the countryside.

"what!!"

The basket fell to the ground and the eggs broke into pieces.

"Mom, don't you want grandma to go to the city? Otherwise, why would you break grandma's eggs?"

Zhang Shan dodged her mother's hand and hid behind her grandmother.

As soon as grandma arrived at the door, she saw what Zhang's mother did and looked at the eggs on the ground with distress. "You spendthrift woman, you do nothing all day and actually waste food. These are the eggs I bought for Xiaobao!"

What followed was the one-sided "education" from grandma. Zhang Shan hid in the distance and watched the two men fight until they were almost done before she went downstairs to help Zhang's father and uncle move things.

"Shanshan is so big now!"

The uncle looked at Zhang Shan as if he was looking at a piece of merchandise. He just waited for her to grow up a little so that she could get married. Not only would he be able to get a dowry, but he would also be able to prevent Zhang Shan from returning home to fight for the property.

All the Zhang family’s property belongs to his son, and no one can take it away!

"Uncle, how come we just met last month?"

"Oh, I said a few words to you, and you don't want to listen. If this continues, can I still count on you in the future?"

Zhang's father also frowned and said, "Zhang Shan, quickly apologize to your uncle.

"No, no, you're just a kid. It's normal for him to think he's a city dweller and look down on us country folks..."

Zhang Shan finally understood that her uncle and aunt were not easy to deal with. When her uncle was about to say something more sharp, Zhang Shan stepped on the corner of the urea bag, and her uncle and father fell down.

"Uncle, are you okay?"

Zhang Shan stepped forward and helped her uncle up, but was shocked to find that her uncle had blood in his mouth.

"Uncle, what's wrong with you?"

At the same time, Zhang's father's mouth was also broken and he vomited blood as soon as he opened his mouth.

"Brother, are you okay?"

Uncle is in big trouble.

Two of my front teeth were broken.

"My...my mouth..."

"Go to the hospital quickly!"

Zhang's father didn't want anything and helped his uncle walk towards the hospital, leaving Zhang Shan and a pile of rags standing in the middle of the road.

Zhang Shan: I should have let them fall again when they got home.

But it was impossible for her to carry the things back home, so she picked up the big and small bags with one hand, put them on the roadside, and borrowed a chair from a noodle shop on the street.

Fortunately, it’s not time for lunch now.

When the grandmother found that her two sons had not returned for a long time, she asked Zhang Ting to go out and check on the situation. When she learned that her two sons had fallen and were admitted to the hospital, she glared at Zhang's mother again.

"You unlucky thing, why are you crying? You've cried away all your good luck!"

She was worried about her two sons, but she still had so much luggage to move home, so the old lady asked her two daughters-in-law to go out and move the luggage first.

Zhang's mother went out with a purple face. She didn't dare to say hello to anyone she met. When she found someone pointing at her from behind, she lowered her head even more.

After the luggage was moved, Zhang's father and uncle also came back. Their mouths were so swollen that they could only drink vegetable porridge in the evening.

"How could you be so stupid that you fell while walking? Luckily nothing was broken." Grandma complained as she packed her things.

Zhang Shan's room had been cleaned up before. The room was small, but it was separated from the living room and had a large window, which was sealed with cardboard because the weather was cold now.

The injuries of Zhang's father and uncle have almost healed, but every time they speak, they bite their mouth or tongue inadvertently. Over time, they rarely speak anymore.

That day, grandma came in carrying a pile of straw, spread it out in the living room and the corners of the room, and then broke off some mushroom seeds and scattered them on the straw.

"Mom, are you planning to grow mushrooms at home?"

"What else? You only have so much money a month. Once you grow these mushrooms, you can not only eat them, but you can also sell them for money. Don't worry, I often grow them in the countryside."

Zhang's mother hesitated to speak. She had no objection to growing things, but she was not used to the whole house being damp and the air being filled with musty smell.

In the end, grandma failed to grow mushrooms. She didn’t understand what went wrong. After several attempts, she failed each time.

"That's strange, why can't it be planted?"

"Zhang Shan, did you touch my mushroom?"

"Grandma, I usually walk around, how could I possibly touch your mushrooms? Besides, our family depends on these mushrooms to survive."

The old lady let Zhang Shan go. "That's weird. I used to plant them like this. Why can't they grow now?"

Instead of growing the oyster mushrooms, a lot of strange and unprecedented fungi grew. The old lady didn't recognize them and didn't dare to try them easily.

But she refused to give up, so she brought back another pile of dry straw and carefully cared for it for a month, and finally, oyster mushrooms grew.

"Mom, it's bad, Xiaobao...Xiaobao has a high fever!"

Xiaobao is young and has a weak resistance. He has been suffering from minor illnesses since the old lady started growing mushrooms. They all thought that Xiaobao was suffering from acclimatization and that he would be fine after taking some medicine.

Grandma and aunt took Xiaobao to the hospital. Fortunately, they sent him there in time and Xiaobao's life was saved.

But this was just the beginning. Xiaobao had just recovered when the old lady and Zhang Ting also fell ill. The old lady endured it and did not go to the hospital herself, nor did she let Zhang Ting go. The two did not survive and died that night.

My uncle and aunt think that the city is weird. As soon as they arrived in the city, bad luck started to happen. If it wasn’t a curse on them, how could they explain it?

The two men took their son back to the countryside overnight, without even caring about the funeral arrangements for the old lady and daughter.

The old lady is gone, but there are still mushrooms in the house. Not only are there oyster mushrooms growing on the straw, but there are also some unknown species of fungi that are releasing spores everywhere.

The mushrooms were still growing, and Zhang's mother couldn't bear to throw them away, so she just let them grow.

That day, uncle and aunt came back again, but this time they did not bring Xiaobao back with them. It was said that Xiaobao died due to poor acclimatization after returning to the countryside.

Not only the uncle and aunt were sad, but Zhang's father and mother were also sad. That was their nephew who could take care of them in their old age. Most of their monthly salary was used to support him. Now that his nephew was gone, everything they had done was in vain.

The uncle and aunt thought that it was Zhang's father and mother who were jealous of them having a son, and that was why they killed their son. They wanted Zhang's father and mother to pay with their lives.

Four people were arguing in a room full of mushrooms. Zhang Shan closed the door and ignored them.

The effect of mushroom spores in damaging immunity is very strong. After a fight, the four of them all fell ill.

Zhang Shan did not separate them, but kept them all in the mushroom growing room.

Two people have already died in this room, so we don’t mind four more.

Three days later, Zhang Shan came back from school and found the entrance crowded with people and a cordon had been set up inside.

"Zhang Shan, you are finally back. Your parents and uncle and aunt are all dead!" an old lady said sympathetically.

"What?" Zhang Shan's eyes turned red at that moment.

Zhang Shan is now twelve years old and has no guardian. With a huge sum of money from the sale of the house and the two jobs of Zhang's parents, she has become a hot commodity and everyone wants to take a bite.

But in the end no one benefited.

When Zhang Shan was in college, she applied to City A, which was 10,800 miles away from her hometown, and she never came back since then.
