Traveling through life as a widow: six sons to support her in her old age

"Auntie, a woman's knees are made of gold. How can we kneel just like that?"

"What do you know, little girl? The nobleman in this carriage is very powerful. He beat a little girl to death in the street a few days ago.

In the end, five taels of silver were thrown away, and the girl's family was very grateful. "

Lan Qiyan clenched his fists, "Is human life so worthless?"

"Silly girl, kneel down quickly, five taels is not less."

Lan Qiyan suddenly bent his legs. He had been wearing this for more than twenty days.

It was not until today that she truly realized that she was no longer living in a society ruled by law where men and women were equal.

But in a feudal society where human life is worthless.

It is a society where people can sell their children and kill their daughters for a few taels of silver, a society where power is above everything else.

Lan Qiyan was kneeling on the ground with his head bent, and all he could see in his peripheral vision was a pair of exquisite shoes.

She didn't know what these shoes were called, she only saw gold thread and pearls. Perhaps these shoes were worth several lives.

Such a big fuss was made just to buy a few boxes of snacks.

If she ever gains power, she will definitely drown all those people who take human lives lightly in a urine bucket.

Lan Qiyan kowtowed on the surface, but his mouth kept chattering, as if he wished he could dig out all thirty-six generations of the other person's ancestors and whip their corpses.

After about a cup of tea, the nobleman got on the carriage and went back, and then they got up.

Lan Qiyan pulled the woman's arm and asked, "Madam, who is that noble man?"

"I heard that she is the daughter of a high-ranking official in the capital. Girl, stop asking and go home quickly."

After saying that, she ran away with the bag on her back. Lan Qiyan glanced into the distance and thought, "Damn it, this lady? If I meet her next time, I will beat her to death."

But for now, we should hurry on our way. We are starving.

In order to prevent others from discovering that she had bought so many things, she chose to take the mountain road.

After all, you shouldn't show off your wealth. Some people will dislike you for being poor and are afraid of you for being rich.

She is not worried about anyone raping her, after all, anyone who can do so would have a pretty strong taste.

But she was worried about being robbed of her money. After all, the family consisted of women, children and the elderly, so she decided to keep a low profile.

With her mediocre skills, she can get around in the village, but if she encounters a thief, she will be in real trouble.

But before I got home, I met Yumian at the foot of the mountain.

"Yumian, what are you doing out here, kid? There are beggars on the market recently. If I buy you away, how can I face your dead father?"

"Mom, Mom, put down the backpack first, we will hide."

Lan Qiyan's first reaction was that someone was causing trouble at the old house, "Is there someone causing trouble at the old house?"

He immediately rolled up his sleeves and said, "Tell me who it is, and I'll beat him to death."

Yumian shook her head and quickly put down her sleeves, wondering what if her mother caught a cold.

"My eldest aunt is here with her child. My eldest brother and younger brother asked me to come out to greet you. They told us not to go home for the time being."

"Your aunt? The one who can build houses? She hasn't been here for two or three years. What are you doing here now?

The weasel is paying New Year's greetings to the chicken, but it has no good intentions. I don't believe that she has suddenly become filial. "

"Yes, I also don't believe that she suddenly changed her personality. When grandma fell, my eldest brother and I went to her house.

We just wanted to borrow some money to buy medicine for grandma's leg, but my uncle made us kneel at his door for a whole morning, and finally scolded us and gave us ten cents. "

"The poor are ignored in the downtown area, the rich are cared for in the mountains, what are they doing here?"

"Borrow money."

"What the hell? Borrowing money, do you think I look like someone with money?

Is it easy for me to make some money? She even came to borrow money." Lan Qiyan's voice suddenly became louder, which scared Yumian.

"Mom, please tell me when you are speaking loudly. It will cost you money if your son's ears are damaged."

"Tell me, what's going on?"

"Mom, please sit down and let's talk slowly."

Lan Qiyan put down the backpack and said, "Hurry up, I cut a pound of meat and am waiting to make dumplings."

Yumian swallowed his saliva and said, "Mom, my eldest aunt has four sons. Now the eldest son wants to get married, and they want to borrow money."

"Go and tell them that we have six sons and your eldest brother also wants to get married, so ask them to lend us some.

How many children do we have? This is not right. We haven’t been in touch for so long. Even when my mother was sick, she didn’t come. Why are you here now? "

"What do you think happened, mother?"

"I'm afraid it's the work of those three families."

"Mom, what should we do now?"

Lan Qiyan thought for a while and said, "I have an idea. Yumian, go pick some grass for the rabbit."

"it is good."

Half an hour later, Lan Qiyan's backpack was full of grass, he was holding two snakes in his hands, and Yumian was carrying a bundle wrapped in vines on his back.

As soon as he entered the room, Yu Xiu jumped onto Yu Ze, howling, "Big brother, help me, why did you catch a snake again?"

Lan Qiyan had a blank expression on his face. "If you don't catch the snake, will you be starving tomorrow?"

Old Lady Yu stood up and rushed over. "Yanyan, thank you for your hard work. It's all because of your useless mother that you have to work so hard just to pull some grass."

Lan Qiyan put the backpack in the kitchen, Yuzhen held the basin, and Yuqi poured water.

She washed her face and hands, then looked at the two people in the main room, "Mom, who are they?"

Old Lady Yu snorted, "You are a debt collector, an ungrateful bastard."

Yu Miaomiao smiled with a fake smile, "Oh, mother, look at what you said.

This must be your sister-in-law. I am your elder sister, and I married into the neighboring village. This is your brother-in-law Li Jin.

I see that you have already repaired the house, why don't you call me brother-in-law? We are all family, just keep the cost price."

"How much?" Lan Qiyan asked.

"It's only eight or nine taels of silver. You must have been coaxed into buying this house. You must have spent a lot of money on it."

"Yes, the money is all spent. I spent fifteen taels. I didn't even know there was an elder sister-in-law, and I didn't see you come to see mother."

Yu Miaomiao felt annoyed. She felt so disappointed. If she had known earlier, she would have come to see them. When did they become so rich?

"Oh, I've been too busy lately. You know your eldest nephew is going to propose marriage."

Lan Qiyan looked innocent and said, "I don't know."

Yu Miaomiao was frustrated. Why was this fat guy so rude and so stubborn?

But on second thought, for the sake of money, it doesn't matter if I say a few nice words.

"Brother...ah...go away." Yu Miaomiao was almost scared to death by the snake.

"Look at her, mom. She's trying to scare me with a snake."

Lan Qiyan looked even more innocent. "I'm dealing with the snake. What are you doing here?"

Mrs. Yulan rolled her eyes at her and said, "You are so perceptive. Can't you see that Yanyan is busy working?"

Yu Miaomiao felt a little aggrieved, "Mom, you don't love me anymore."

Old Lady Yu got even angrier when she mentioned this. She had never been like other people who valued her son and despised her daughters. She couldn't ask herself if she had done anything wrong to her two daughters.

But what did she get? Her legs were broken and she was bedridden, and her two daughters didn't even bother to see her.

The children went to borrow money. One of them took the opportunity to make things difficult for the child and gave him ten cents. The other one beat the child and gave him ten cents.

This is her good daughter, who is not as good as Yanyan who has been here for less than a month.

Lan Qiyan: Don’t praise me so much, I tend to get shy.
