Chapter VI Difficult Conditions

Zhang Anmin held Liu's hand and placed the hem of the clothes, "It's okay, I'm strong, and this injury will be cured in two days."

"No matter how good your health is, you can't make trouble like this. Look at your back." Liu's tone couldn't help but grow louder, "No, I have to talk to my parents. I can't let you go to work in the fields these two days." As he said that, he was about to go out.

"Don't go, these third brothers can't do their jobs. If I rest, wouldn't I count on my father and elder brother to be busy with the farm work at home?" Zhang Anmin grabbed Liu.

"Dad and mother are so partial. The third brother can rest if he is uncomfortable. If you are sick, you still have to work?"

"Forget it, my dad said it at the dinner table. Besides, I should do more."

Liu sat on the bed in anger, "Do we do less? We do the most work in one room, but our parents still favor the other two rooms. Any good things are given to them, what do we get?"

"Okay, don't be angry, it's all my fault. If you marry me, you will make you suffer."

"I don't mean that. You are a good person. I feel very happy to marry you." Liu said this, "It's just that I'm a little angry that my parents are partial. You are the pillar of our family. If there is something wrong with your health, what will happen to Chuxia and me?"

"Don't worry, I'm fine."

"I'm also blaming me for not giving birth to a son over the years, otherwise my parents wouldn't have treated our second wife like this."

Zhang Anmin patted Liu's hand and comforted him: "How can you blame me? Children are all fate. Don't we have daughters now? Besides, we are both young. When I get well, I will work hard and maybe I will have it."

Another reason why Mr. Zhang and the Cai family don’t like Liu family is that they look down on Liu family. As the saying goes, people are divided into different levels, and flowers are divided into rosewood and red sandalwood. Although the Zhang family is also a farmer, there are also families they look down on, such as the Liu family.

Liu was not from this place, he came here when he fled. He was separated from his family during the escape. He came to Zhangjia Village with other refugees. After fainting, he was rescued by the kind-hearted Zhang Anmin. The awakened Liu and other refugees were placed in the temple in the village. When Zhang Anmin saw Liu alone, he often came to help. The two of them felt good about it after a while.

Cai was originally very unhappy to let Zhang Anmin marry Liu's family. He was a refugee who didn't know where he came from, but his family was not rich. Zhang Anmin and his third brother Zhang Anren were both at that time and they had to marry him. The two brothers also had a lot of betrothal gifts. Liu said that he was alone and did not need a betrothal gift. This was an important factor in getting Cai to agree to Liu's family. Of course, Cai was also selfish. Zhang Anmin spent less money, so he could save more money to tell his younger son a good marriage.

After Liu entered the door, the old lady made things difficult for her. She didn't say anything else, but she didn't give birth to a son, and Cai often talked about things.

When Liu heard what Zhang Anmin said, he reacted and his little face turned slightly red, "Improper."

Zhang Anmin is a honest man and rarely says those words to coax people. He has been married for so many years and is a little embarrassed. Under the kerosene lamp, looking at Liu's shy look like his daughter's family, his mood couldn't help but improve, "I just like to treat you inappropriately."

Chu Xia, who was confused, heard Zhang Anmin's words and turned over. He found that his father had such a side. Is he flirting with his mother?

Liu clasped his fist and had not hit Zhang Anmin, a figure suddenly appeared outside the window, "What are you doing if you don't sleep? You are not busy during the day, and you can fix your crotch in the night, without kerosene, and you won't work tomorrow!"

When Cai came out to the cottage, he saw someone talking in the room of his second son's house. He came out of the cottage, carried his trousers and headed straight for this place.

"Mom, we are going to sleep now," Zhang Anmin replied to the window.

"I also said that I was feeling unwell. I thought it was too much..." Cai murmured and walked away.

As soon as Cai left, Liu put away the tools to take the shoes, "Children's father, you go to bed first, I'll go to the house in Chuxia to take a look."

I felt a pair of warm hands touching my face, and a small quilt was gently placed on my stomach. A slight cool breeze rushing towards me in my dreams, just like the feeling of my grandmother shaking her palm-leaf fan in her previous life and spending the summer together.

When I got up the next day in early summer, except for Zhang Anren, who said he was uncomfortable, the other adult men had already gone to the fields to work.

My stomach sang an empty city plan. As soon as I washed my face, Old Mrs. Cai saw it, "I am so old that I know how old I am. I don't know how to sleep in, and I don't know how to help with some work."

As soon as he said this, Aunt Cheng stretched out and walked out of the house. He looked like he had just woken up. Chu Xia pretended to be naive and said, "My mother, I'm not the only one sleeping in, but also Aunt San."

It’s not that I, a nine-year-old child, sleeps in, and that third aunt Cheng is the mother of the child. I see what you say.

Chu Xia Yi said that Old Mrs. Cai looked at Cheng, "Did you get up late when you feel uncomfortable today?"

"I felt a little uncomfortable in the morning, so I lie down for a while." Cheng heard Mrs. Cai ask, and looked at Chuxia standing in the yard, following Cai's words. It was mainly because Zhang Anren made trouble for her yesterday, and the two made a move, which made it more late today.

"Well, if you feel uncomfortable, take a rest. Your eldest sister-in-law and second sister-in-law are at home."

Damn, this is really naked eccentric.

Some farmers only have two meals a day, one meal in the morning and afternoon. One reason is that their living conditions are not good, and the other is that they are agricultural farming needs, so the rest time can be arranged reasonably.

Although the Zhang family said that the conditions were not good, they still had three meals a day, but they only ate the same as most in the village, barely filling their stomachs.

Mrs. Liu came back from the stream with a wooden basin packing her washed clothes. Looking at Chuxia, who was sitting on the threshold in a daze, she put the wooden basin down and called Chuxia into the house.

"Eggs and sweet potatoes, breakfast, eat them quickly." Liu brought out the leftovers of last night.

"I promised that this is for my mother to eat."

Liu touched Chuxia's head, "It's enough for you to have this kind of heart. When you grow up and earn money, come and respect your mother again. Eat quickly. Don't let your grandmother and others find out. Then you won't be able to eat anymore, and I'll go to work."

In the early summer, I finally ate the food on the table. I thought while eating, the conditions here were so hard. I had to give up an egg. I had to find a way to earn money quickly to get out of the status quo and let my parents live a good life.
