C10 (1/2)
It was already dark outside, with only a crescent moon emitting a misty glow. In such a cold weather, it was chilly outside. Other than the few children who were still running outside, the other adults of the Fang family had already entered the room.
Using the weak light, Fang Ruzhu walked into the kitchen and found the willow branch in the corner. She then took out a bowl from the kitchen and began to brush her teeth.
The Yeats couple next door did not light up any oil lamps. It was unknown whether they were asleep or not, but the couple was whispering to each other, and the sound was very soft. Fang Ruxiu could not hear it clearly, even though the soundproofing effect of the room was not very good.
”Knock, knock, knock.” Fang Ruxiu reached out her hand and knocked on the door of Fang Yizheng and the others' room. At that moment, the three brothers did not know what was going on, but the inside of the house was in an uproar.
”Who is it?” After a while, the door finally opened, and Fang Yizhi's head popped out. Seeing that it was Fang Ruxiu, he asked in shock: ”Big sister? It's you, I thought it was mother. ”
”It's me.” Fang Ruxiu handed a bag to Fang Yizhi in embarrassment and said: ”I broke these two bird eggs, so I can't hatch any more birds. Sorry.”
”It's fine, you can't hatch anymore. Just take it and eat it yourself. Big brother gave it to you to begin with, so you can do whatever you want with it.” Fang Yizhi returned the bag to Fang Ruxiu. At this time, Fang Yizheng and Fang Yizhi arrived at the door and looked at Fang Rumian.
”Alright, then I'll have mother cook tomorrow for everyone to eat.” Fang Ruxiu put it away and asked, ”Third brother, do you have matters to attend to tomorrow?”
”It's nothing, what's wrong?” Fang Yicheng asked.
”Then accompany me to the mountain tomorrow. After I've washed my clothes, I'll come and get you.” She wanted to go up the mountain and see if there was anything that could be exchanged for money.
”Fine.” Fang Yizhi happily agreed, but at this time, Fang Yizheng said: ”Little sister, you must ask mother about this, it's not safe on the mountain.”
”It's alright. Mother will definitely agree. Then let's make a deal.” Fang Ru Xiu said mischievously before turning around to leave.
After returning to her own room, Fang Ru Xiu was still tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep. This bed was really burned to the point of making her feel uncomfortable. Although there was no time, it should only be around six at night right now. Besides, she had been lying in bed all day.
I can't sleep, I can't sleep. She began to let her imagination run wild. In her previous life, she had been walking up the mountain with her grandfather every day. It could be said that she had trained her physique, but this body was weak and had no strength left.
He thought of the people in this family, and thought of this poor family. Other than her mother Yeats s, grandmother Yu's s and a few other brothers, she had not interacted much with the rest of the people in this day and night. The original owner had also been in this house for a short time, so she didn't understand them all, but that wasn't important. The most important thing was that this house was too poor, she wanted to earn money and didn't want to eat congee like she did tonight.
In the entire Fang family, Yu's was a person who held great authority as a housekeeper. For the sake of this large family, she had made up her mind and thus, her temper became slightly bad, but in reality, she was not a bad person. She was also very kind. Other than those that came from the fields and soil at home, the rest of the embroidery, knitting and other income were all from him.
She had read a few novels in the past. The grandmothers described in the novels were all extremely cruel and inhuman, they were not allowed to deposit private money, and they were even more unkind to their wives and granddaughters. However, Yu's was not such a person. Although she was fierce, Fang Ruxiu liked her a lot. It was probably because she looked like her deceased grandmother.
In his previous life, there had always been a black and white photo of his grandfather in his wallet. The woman on it looked like the Yu's, and Fang Ruxiu felt that this was very coincidental.
