Chu Ge took Xiu Niang's hand and walked to the back room, went in in the dark to light the oil lamp, blew out the lamp, and sat on the bed in silence.

Xiu Niang stood by the door, looked at Chu Ge, and then at the main room. Both sides were quiet, and there was no sound. If someone who didn't know saw this, it would be It's really weird.

Originally, Chu Ge was born to be a dull gourd, his own emotions were stuffed in his stomach, and he would not express them, but Shen Shi, if he felt unhappy in his heart, he would make a lot of noise at home. She was restless, no matter what, she had to straighten out her pent-up breath first.

Besides, even though it is late now, if there is a quarrel at home, the noise will be no less than during the day, and Xiu Niang doesn't think that Shen is the kind of person who would worry about this.

Shen Shi has always felt that Chu Ge is the kind of submissive, honest and filial child who will absolutely obey what a mother like her says.

But just now, Shen was able to endure the repeated "collisions" with Chu Ge, which surprised Xiu Niang.

After all, at that time, it was Mrs. Shen who drove Chu Ge to Xiayang Village to live alone. Even though Mrs. Wen was instigating that incident, in the final analysis, if Mrs. Shen didn't speak, Chu Fu would be fine. No matter how much he obeyed Wen's words, he did not dare to drive Chu Ge out.

Seeing that there was no movement in the main room for a long while, Xiuniang guessed that the words Chu Ge said before leaving had a big impact on the old couple, Mrs. Shen and Mrs. Chu...

Ugh……

Should!You deserve it!

Xiu Niang pursed her lips, happy that Chu Ge finally got tough in front of Shen Shi, otherwise Chu Ge was always so suppressed by Shen Shi that she couldn't lift her head.

In fact, according to her original intention, she didn't want Chu Ge to confront her parents head-on, but, no matter how filial this child is, the parents can't be too cruel.

The boss and the second are both his children, no matter how bad things are between Mrs. Shen and Mr. Chu, the bowl of water must be leveled, right? Account matters must be taken for granted by Chu Ge.

It's only natural that this idiot can't stand it, can't he always be a soft persimmon, even if it's a rock, it will be hot if it's nestled by the stove for a long time, right?

It's time for Shen to think about it this time, this dull boy of hers also has a temper!

Thinking of this, Xiu Niang felt a lot more relieved, she looked away angrily, breathed a sigh of relief, and then went into the room.

Chu Ge sat at the end of the bed, still didn't speak, and didn't look up at her.

Seeing his sullen look, Xiu Niang pondered for a while, then smiled, and went to make the bed first.

She put the pillows for herself and Chugo, and leaned over to spread out the bed, "Chuge, when do you plan to go up the mountain tomorrow?"

Seeing that Chu Ge was still sitting there blankly, Xiu Niang paused for a moment, and then continued, "Hey, look at what I asked, it will be better sooner or later to hunt wild animals in the mountains, but you can see it sooner." , should we go earlier?"

After Xiu Niang finished speaking, Chu Ge responded sullenly, "Yes."

When there was a reaction, Xiu Niang smiled, and continued, "Okay, I'll get up when I'm in a hurry, and I'll make you some gruel, or I'll bake pancakes for you and your elder brother to take to the mountain to eat..."

Chu Ge was silent for a while, "Yes."

After finishing making up the quilts for the two beds, she swept the quilts, and when Chu Ge responded again, she raised her eyes to look over, sighed secretly, and walked to his side.

Chu Ge hunched his back slightly, put his hands on his knees, his eyes were a little indifferent, and he looked weak.

Xiuniang knew that he was definitely not feeling well right now, after all, he was dealing with his own parents...

Chu Ge still looked down at the ground, and suddenly saw a pair of small white and delicate hands covering his big hands.

Xiu Niang gently held Chu Ge's hand, and sat down next to him, she said in a soft voice, "Chu Ge, don't think about it, those are all things in the past, mother-in-law, she has no choice but to Strange), we are children..."

Chu Ge listened to Xiu Niang's words, looked up at her, his face was still expressionless, and he interrupted her.

"Xiu Niang, there is more than ten taels of silver in our family?"

Xiuniang didn't know why Chu Ge suddenly mentioned this, but seeing his indifferent appearance, she panicked for some reason, "Chu, Chu Ge, why are you suddenly..."

Chu Ge turned his face away and looked forward, "Xiu Niang, there is more than ten taels of silver in our house."

Listening to Chu Ge's tone of voice, Xiu Niang stopped asking her, and suddenly she didn't know what to say, "Chu Ge..."

The wind at night squeezed through the crack of the door and suddenly rushed into the room. The candles on the wooden cabinet flickered, illuminating Chu Ge's face flickeringly. said...

"In the past, my mother asked me to live in Xiayang Village. She said that my fate is not good. Staying at home will hinder everyone, so I have to come separately. So, I came to Xiayang Village."

"At that time, Chu An and Xiao Xiang'er ran out with me. They said that they couldn't stay at home with their sister-in-law, so they wanted to go with me and come to Xiayang Village to live together. Bring it here."

"Two months ago, my father and mother brought my elder brother and sister-in-law to the house. My father said that it was because my elder brother got into trouble in Shangyang Village. The house was gone and there was no place to go. So I let my father, mother and elder brother live here. It's..."

"Enough... Chugo, stop talking..."

Xiu Niang suddenly realized something, she slowly tightened Chugo's hand, as if she was afraid that he would break away.

Chu Ge paused for a while, then mumbled a word, then got up and went out, "Xiu Niang, there is still boiling water in the pot, I'll scoop some in for you."

Seeing Chu Ge's lonely back, Xiu Niang scolded herself angrily, she is really a big bad person, what right does she have to say that Shen Shi is wrong, what she did to Chu Ge is much worse than Shen Shi , who told her to be smart and self-righteous to hurt Chugo.

What Shen brought to Chu Ge was just a moment of anger, but what she brought to Chu Ge was heartbreak...

In the earlier meeting, she purposely talked about the family's savings in front of Chu Ge, and told him explicitly and implicitly that there were only ten taels of silver left in the family, and if they all were taken out, there would be nothing left.

The reason why she wanted to say this was because she knew that Chu Fu asked Chu Ge to find a big house, and Shen knew about it. Then she would definitely pay Chu Ge's attention, and Chu Ge is a filial son. If you talk about it, then Chu Ge still hasn't explained everything.

That's why she was smart enough to give Chu Ge a "vaccination" first, so that he would know that the family didn't have much money, so that even if he wanted to, he would know that he couldn't afford it if he didn't have money.

Alas, but Chu Ge's bluntness is not as random and meaningless as he imagined.

As for what Chu Ge said just now, before the Shen family wanted him to live alone in Xiayang Village, she directly stated that it was because of Chu Ge's 'bad fate' that she let him leave the house to live.

Two months ago, Father Chu brought his family of four to seek refuge with Chu Ge. At that time, he also said bluntly that he came to see him because something happened to Chu Fu in Shangyang Village and he had no place to live. ...

Xiu Niang has lived with Chu Ge for half a year, and knows that he is a very straightforward person, and he is a very easy-to-understand person, one can see through it at a glance.

The reason why he wanted to tell himself this was to tell her that he, Chu Ge, was not a fool, he would accept everything, as long as he didn't lie to him, he could tolerate anything.

But just now, the person who lied to him turned out to be herself...

----------

Early the next morning, Xiu Niang boiled a pot of porridge as usual, arranged several pairs of bowls and chopsticks, put two dishes of pickles on the table, and then called everyone to eat.

Chu Ge said it early last night, but he still waited for Chu Fu and the others to get up before he came out of the house.

Xiuniang knew that he didn't want to make herself too tired, otherwise she would have to get up early to cook for him and Chu Fu, and then wait for Shen Shi and the others to get up before making another pot.

Because once, Chu Ge wanted to go out early, Xiu Niang cooked a big pot of porridge, and then went back to sleep, but when Shen Shi and the others got up, the porridge was stewed into a mush. Just because of this matter, Shen babbled on and on for a whole day.

But for Chu Ge's "kindness", Xiu Niang still silently accepted, because she would not cook the family's share separately for the last time. Chu Ge thought it was his business, so what she wanted to do was It's my own business.

Besides, because of what happened last night, Chu Ge saw himself, so he still didn't talk much...

Father Chu and Mrs. Shen sat at the table, and Chu Fu first delivered the rice to Mrs. Wen, and then helped Chu Ge serve everyone's meals after he came out.

Waiting for Xiu Niang to take her seat, Father Chu yelled to eat, "Well, well, everyone is here, Fuwazi, Chu Geer, you two hurry up and eat, you will go up the mountain in a while."

Chu Fu answered with a bowl, "Understood, Dad."

Chu Ge also replied dumbly, "Understood, Dad."

Shen took a few mouthfuls of porridge, and complained a few times, why the heat was not enough, and why the rice grains were not soft.

Xiu Niang didn't pay attention to Shen, or she didn't pay attention to it. Originally, she thought about several situations when everyone met each other early in the morning. After all, last night the big guy was nagging about the unhappy breakup.

But at this moment, she found that Chu Ge and Father Chu had tacitly chosen not to talk about it, as if they were trying their best to ignore what happened last night.

Shen Shi still looked mean, and was not affected by what happened last night in the slightest.

Father Chu and Chu Fu are just like normal people, pretending to be confused about everything.

Xiu Niang looked at them and sneered. Chu Ge had lived with them for more than ten years, and she reckoned that she had suffered everything, but she couldn't do it. She had to think of a way to keep this family away from her...
