Chapter 564 You bastard, you still want money?
"Sweet, really sweet!" Yi Zhonghai grinned foolishly with his big teeth bared!
Yi Zhonghai had fantasized about this scene of an old lady holding her own child countless times, and this time his wish finally came true.
He casually peeled a piece of the candy and put it in his mouth. Yi Zhonghai felt that the candy was not as sweet as this moment!
That’s great! He will be able to live a happy life with his wife, children and a warm bed in the future.
"Mom, I want candy!"
Just when Yi Zhonghai and the aunt were grinning foolishly at Huaihua, the second, third and fourth brothers surrounded them without them knowing.
The three sisters looked at the candy wrappers on the ground and swallowed their saliva.
Toffees!
I've only seen this thing in other kids' hands.
It is said that it is the most delicious thing in the world, even better than scallion pancakes!
The woman touched the second and third sons' heads helplessly and whispered, "When I have money, I will buy you candies."
She didn't know how much the candy cost, but it was definitely not something she could afford.
Yi Zhonghai, who was standing by, heard their conversation and turned to look at Huaihua's three sisters.
His clothes were tattered, his face was gray, and his body was skinny.
If Huaihua had not been adopted by me, even if she was raised by Gou Wa and his wife, she would probably look like this.
I don’t know why, but Yi Zhonghai suddenly felt a little distressed.
I have never had this feeling before, even when I saw other children in the courtyard before.
"Do you have any candy?" Yi Zhonghai asked.
The lady nodded: "It's in my pocket, I just bought it this morning!"
She also heard from people in the alley that buying candy when meeting someone for the first time would bring good luck.
So when I went to the supply and marketing cooperative today, I bought a bag of candy.
"Four per person, no one is allowed to snatch them!"
Yi Zhonghai waved to the second, third and fourth sons, holding a handful of candies in his hands.
Such a bold move stunned the three little girls. They didn’t expect happiness to come so suddenly!
"Come here!"
Seeing that none of the three of them moved, Yi Zhonghai waved again.
The second one, who was the bravest, glanced at the woman, then moved over timidly and took away four candies.
Seeing that their elder sister had already gotten the candy, the third and fourth children followed suit.
After the three of them had taken all, Yi Zhonghai still had a few in his hand.
From this we can see that although Gou Wa's family is poor, the woman in the family is quite good at educating her children.
It was agreed that each person would get four, but no one took more.
As luck would have it, Gou Wa, who had just walked out of the house, happened to see this scene. His eyes rolled around, and he waved the palm-leaf fan in his hand as he approached Yi Zhonghai and said, "Look at this kid. He's a pound fatter than last time. It took me a lot of effort to make him fatter!"
Yi Zhonghai nodded: "The little face is indeed rounder than last time."
"That's right. We have taken very good care of her these past two days." After a pause, Gou Wa continued, "There are many mosquitoes in the countryside. Last night, in order to let her sleep well, I fanned her with a palm leaf fan all night, but I was exhausted."
"Oh, my family is poor, and I am the main breadwinner. If I get too tired, how will my family live?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Secretary Shi, who had been silent all the time, suddenly glared at Gou Wa.
"Get out of here!"
Yi Zhonghai and the aunt were so immersed in happiness that they probably didn't understand what Gou Wa meant.
But Secretary Shi had been in the commune for so many years, and he had seen many people like Gou Wa. As soon as he opened his mouth, he knew what Gou Wa was thinking.
This doesn't mean you just want to continue asking for money!
What a shit fanning I'm tired of.
Gou Wa never treated his daughters as his own children from the beginning to the end. He usually beat or scolded them. How could he possibly stay with the locust flowers for an entire night?
"Secretary, I am telling the truth!"
Gou Wa knew that this was his last chance to ask for money, so even if Secretary Shi scolded him, he had to bite the bullet and ask.
Otherwise, if you miss this village, this store will no longer exist.
Besides, the fitter from the city was rich, with a lot of money, and his monthly salary was more than what he earned in a year.
What's wrong with asking for more money?
How can I support my family without money? How can I continue to have sons without money? If I have no money, I have to pick loofah leaves.
Luffa leaves are choking, so Gou Wa thinks tobacco leaves are more suitable for him.
"Look at these poor guys..."
Gou Wa wanted to use his three daughters to show his pity so that Yi Zhonghai, a man with a broken family, would have some sympathy.
But at this time, the three daughters were lowering their heads, chewing the candies in their mouths hard. Because they were chewing too hard, their little faces were puffy. Not only did they not look pitiful, they even looked a little cute.
hiss......
This toffee smells quite nice!
The thought flashed through his mind, and soon Gou Wa's stomach started rumbling.
What does toffee taste like? These three little brats don’t even know how to be filial to their dad.
After Secretary Shi and the others leave, I must try something to taste.
Yi Zhonghai, who was standing by, also understood what was going on.
I want to ask for some money before my child leaves!
But Yi Zhonghai had no intention of giving money. What did Gou Wa’s tiredness have to do with him, Yi Zhonghai?
"Hey, take this money, you are all women, I know how hard it is for you."
Yi Zhonghai had no intention of giving any money, but an old lady took out a few dollars from her pocket and stuffed them into the woman's pocket.
The old lady didn't know that Yi Zhonghai had already given money when he came last time. She just felt that it was a bit unreasonable for her to take the woman's child away without giving her something.
Moreover, they are both women, and the aunt knows better how difficult it is for women.
Having given birth to five children, she became pale and thin, and she is also a pitiful person.
Although the aunt has never given birth to a child, she knows that pregnancy for ten months is a very hard thing, and giving some money can buy peace of mind.
Besides, she only gave the woman a dozen dollars, which was not a huge sum of money.
Compared with the previous support to the Jia family, this little money is really nothing.
But for women, these dozen dollars may be enough to take care of their health or provide their children with enough food for a month.
"You...Ah!"
Yi Zhonghai wanted to say something, but was glared back by the old lady.
The woman looked at the money in her hand, hesitated for several seconds, and then began to cry softly.
"This money...I can't take it."
"Take it, take it. Even if you don't think about yourself, you have to think about your children at home, right?" said an aunt.
After giving the money, the aunt felt that she no longer owed the woman anything.
Sophora japonica will have nothing to do with this family from now on.
After arguing for a while, the woman finally accepted the money.
Then he went back to the house, packed up Sophora japonica's small quilt and other things into a bundle, and handed it to Yi Zhonghai.
Yi Zhonghai was worried that his wife would throw money around again, so he took the bundle and left Gou Wa's house with Secretary Shi.
The child has been brought out, and the next step is to bring her back to the courtyard and introduce Yi Xiaohua to the neighbors.
