Splendid peasant girl busy farming

Chapter 5480 Spreading the Falsehood
The eldest son rubbed his hands, complaining in his heart, hiding half and revealing half.

"Father, since you see things so clearly, then you should cheer up and lead our brothers to work hard for a few years, and earn some money in your hands!"

Changrong was stunned for a moment, and bluffed: "What? Your wings are stiff, you kid, are you blaming your father for my incompetence?"

The eldest son waved his hands hurriedly: "How dare..."

Changrong pointed to his injured leg: "My leg was broken by that beam to save your brothers, brat, don't be heartless!"

"Father, I was wrong, you take care of your wounds, I'll go out first..."

The eldest son turned around to run away, but Chang Rong called him to stop him.

Seeing the trembling look of the eldest son, Changrong slowed down his tone, and said earnestly: "The greatest skill of your father and my life is to bring up your elder brothers. I didn't even think about it when I was poor and down. I used to exchange your brothers for money. Now your father and I are old and can’t do it anymore. You are the eldest brother. The burden of revitalizing our family depends on you, and we also depend on you to marry a wife. Your father and I have worked hard all our lives I still count on you to take care of me until the end of my life..."

The eldest son nodded blankly, and left the room full of bitterness.

As far as I can remember, the most things I have seen are in broad daylight, people are busy everywhere in the fields, my father is lying on the bed and sleeping late, and my mother enters the house again and again, wandering around the bed, carefully persuading him to get up and go to the field work.

Every time I tried to persuade him to do some work, my mother's saliva would dry up, and she would even quarrel and get beaten.

My mother earned a little money by doing small labor for others, and my father would take it off to play cards and buy wine.

What my father often said is: a person needs to be refreshed every day of his life, eat and drink well, and no one knows whether he will be able to open his eyes tomorrow if he lies down tonight.

So after all these years, the family has no savings at all, and is poor and heavily in debt.

What's more frightening is that what father taught by example has a great influence on the three brothers.

It wasn't until the last two years that I saw that some families in the village were getting better and better, and that my friends of the same age were getting married and had children one after another. Only then did I realize that there was something wrong with the way my family lived.

He also thought about changing his way of life, but every time he had an idea, or wanted to take his father and two younger brothers to work in the fields, or to rent some fields and come back to plant, he would be rejected. Father's obstruction, and even sarcasm.

Up to now, he is 23 years old, has achieved nothing, and is an old bachelor.

After thinking about it for a while, he planned to wait until the end of the New Year, and he had to go out and find something to do, even if he went out to do long-term work for others, he had to make a living, and he couldn't be like this. A family of four men stay at home and starve every day Belly sleep late.

……

After all, Changrong is a person who can't hide things, and within two hours of being awkward with other people in the yard, he couldn't help but tell one of them about the bizarre experience last night.

As long as one person hears it, the rest of the people in this small yard will also know about it.

And if the people in this small courtyard know about it, then the whole village will also hear about it.

The strange incident of Changrong last night started like a wedge, and then Zhang, Sanli, Siwang and Ermazi in the village all showed up to speak out, and one or two claimed that they had experienced strange things.

In the kitchen in the backyard of Yang Huazhong's house, Mrs. Sun was cooking. Today, the iron pot was cooking stuffed fish in an iron pot, and cakes were pasted by the way.

The fish was simmering in the pot, and Mrs. Sun rolled up her sleeves and kneaded the dough.

Yang Ruoqing stuffed a handful of firewood into the stove, poked her head out and told Mrs. Sun what she had heard from outside.

"Since Evergreen said last night that he saw the souls of those two children, all kinds of rumors in the village have popped up like bamboo shoots in the bamboo forest after the rain,"

"I heard several stories when I was washing laundry in the pond earlier in the morning. Some said that I heard strange birds calling in the village a few nights ago, and the direction was Huo Sheng's house."

"Some said that two nights before the incident, the dog in the yard barked at the ancestral hall, and they said that the man in the family got up and chased the dog after sleeping until midnight..."

"There is another version that is the scariest. It is said that a few months ago, the old man Zhao who lived at the intersection of Nantou in the village got up in the middle of the night to go to the toilet. Two children, one big and one small, are walking."

"On the moon day, the woman lowered her head, couldn't see her face clearly, and led the two children to the direction of the Earth Temple. At that time, the old man Zhao was still thinking about whose wife was walking out with the children at night? Could it be? Arguing with the man at home and then taking the child out in a fit of anger?"

"At first he thought he was shouting loudly, but when the three of them walked near the Earth Temple, they disappeared in a flash. Old man Zhao thought it was because he was dazzled, so he went out of the yard to look around the road outside. Everything was quiet. , on the ridge, in the field, there was not a single person, saying that the old man Zhao ran home immediately in fright, and hid in the bed and swayed..." Yang Ruoqing paused, and grabbed another handful of firewood into the hearth.

Mrs. Sun, who was kneading the dough, trembled all over, "I'm going to sway when I hear this, it's too infiltrating."

"Isn't it? Everyone speaks with a nose and eyes. As for the authenticity, no one knows." Yang Ruoqing said.

Mrs. Sun was a little puzzled, and asked: "If it's Yunxia's wife, why did she go to the Earth Temple? Her mother's house is not in that direction!"

Yang Ruoqing said: "Someone in the village asked this question, and they said that the Earth Temple is the city god of one side, just like our yamen here. If someone dies on the territory under his jurisdiction, he must report to the Temple of the City God."

Mrs. Sun shivered again, feeling a chill down her back.

Yang Ruoqing was fine, because she was sitting at the door of the stove, and the fire inside was raging and crackling, very warm.

"Mother, don't be afraid, these things are all based on false rumors, and they are not true." Yang Ruoqing turned to comfort Sun.

If I don't tell my mother about the rumors outside, someone else must come and say it.

Rather than let others speak out and scare the mother out of her mind, it is better to speak out by yourself, and then guide and comfort, and eliminate the panic.

"So many people have seen and heard it, so maybe it's the real thing. After all, this thing is too tragic, and it's possible to have a lot of resentment." Sun said in a low voice.

Yang Ruoqing smiled and shook her head: "If you really talk about grievances, wouldn't blood flow into rivers and corpses strewn all over the field after a random battle on the battlefield? According to that, the most grievances and the most haunted are on the battlefield, but in reality? Nothing!"

"Besides, those people didn't come out to talk about it when there was nothing wrong before. If something happened, let's take their seats one by one and exaggerate. To put it bluntly, they just watch the excitement and don't be afraid of big things. We don't need to pay attention to it!"
