Broken wings

Xiao Nie Chao's family conditions were very difficult since he was a child, and when he was very young, his father went out to mine and was crushed to death by a landslide. He had just reached the age of studying, and he had only been studying for two days, and his parents were gone, and he couldn't wait for them, and two days later, Aunt Hu, who was teaching in a private school, came to his house and took him away, who was already crying hoarsely.

At that time, he didn't

understand what it meant to 'Daddy and Mom went to a far away place', but it became a habit to sleep with his mother every day, and he refused to sleep as long as he didn't have his mother.

Aunt Hu's husband is very short-tempered, tyrannical, and usually either drinks or gambles. If you win the gambling money, you can happily buy a few side dishes to drink, and if you lose, Aunt Hu will have to be beaten and scolded. At this time, Aunt Hu usually asks him to hide, or let him go out to play for a while.

Because the adoptive father's temper has come up, he will beat whoever he catches.

Since Xiao Nie Chao was slapped by his adoptive father and his nose, ears and mouth were bleeding, Aunt Hu saw that his adoptive father was showing signs of losing his temper and asked him to go out to avoid it.

If it weren't for the fact that they were really poor, Aunt Hu would not have forced Xiao Nie to come over, she could save her own rations to feed him, but no one else wanted to.

After a long time, Aunt Hu was malnourished, her face was scorched, she went out to teach during the day, and when she came back at night, she had to wash clothes, cook and clean up the housework.

Xiao Nie Chao has become very good at looking at people in such an environment, sometimes knowing that his adoptive father is angry, he will say nice things to please him, but this trick is not effective. The adoptive father still often beats him, beating Aunt Hu, Xiao Nie Chao bravely stood in front of Aunt Hu, and once he was directly picked up by his adoptive father and fell to the ground, and he immediately fell and pulled him in the pocket.

Aunt Hu was so frightened that she almost didn't go crazy, hugged Xiao Nie Chao, who was vomiting and pulling, cried and shouted to see the doctor, and tossed around, but Xiao Nie Chao was in good physical condition and survived.

The adoptive father thought that Aunt Hu spent hundreds of dollars on Xiao Nie Chao's medical treatment, and he always saw that Aunt Hu was not pleasing to the eye for a while, and he would beat him if he didn't like it.

Since then, Xiao Nie Chao's body has always been uncomfortable, and when it rains on a cloudy day, his bones are sore and uncomfortable.

Aunt Hu supervised him to run and exercise, first two miles, then five miles, then ten miles, and slowly work his way up. Xiao Nie Chao couldn't run down, so Aunt Hu shouted after him: "You can't stand this little pain now, will you take this illness for the rest of your life in the future?"

Xiao Nie Chao was very tired, and his feet were so heavy that he couldn't lift up, but when he saw Aunt Hu's tears, he gritted his teeth and continued to run forward.

When Xiao Nie Chao was eight years old, Aunt Hu was pregnant, and her

adoptive father always wanted to have her own bloodline, but Aunt Hu has not been able to get pregnant for many years of marriage, and now she is happy, and her adoptive father is in a much better mood.

This is Xiao Nie Chao's third year in Aunt Hu's house, he has learned to do a lot of things, and Aunt Hu is inconvenient to do housework during pregnancy, Xiao Nie Chao has all taken care of it.

Aunt Hu has done one more thing now, that is, to make some handicrafts to sell, she wants to save more money, and when the child is born, she can give the child something good. Aunt Hu finished the handiwork, and Xiao Nie Chao carried two big baskets to the market to sell. Aunt Hu felt sorry for his child who was in a hurry, and gave him a few pennies to buy snacks, and Xiao Nie Chao never spent it, only saving it for his younger brother who was born in the future.

After the child was born, Aunt Hu had to take care of the child, take care of her adoptive father, and do housework, and her life was very difficult. The adoptive father said that he liked the child, but after the child was born, he never took it, and he only cared about himself when he ate and slept. Aunt Hu basically fed the child, and the rest was only a few scraps.

Xiao Nie Chao originally kept his own food to give to Aunt Hu, but Aunt Hu couldn't bear that he would not grow hungry for a child, so she blindly coaxed him to say that there was still something in the pot.

As the child grew up, the adoptive father's gambling addiction became more and more rampant, and he beat people when he went home after losing the gambling.

Xiao Nie Chao followed them for a few years, knowing that Aunt Hu was kind-hearted, but she was always abused, and slowly, he started to kill his adoptive father.

At that time, he was still young, and he couldn't think about it very thoroughly, only thinking that his adoptive father couldn't bring money to the family, but always asked Aunt Hu for her hard-earned money, and Aunt Hu broke her eyes to earn a little living expenses, and he used it all to gamble.

If it really doesn't matter how it fights, Aunt Hu will no longer be able to come up with the money, and the adoptive father will target Xiao Nie Chao. He carried a wine bottle, shirtless, and red, and pointed at Xiao Nie Chao and scolded: "No money, no money, Lao Tzu cares if you ask for money, you just don't have any fucking money! If you didn't raise this dog cub back then, how much money would you save for Lao Tzu? Lao Tzu went out to gamble, wasn't it for the future of you and your children? I lost a lot, but gambling money is to make and lose, maybe I will earn it all in one go! You sleep with Lao Tzu on a kang head, and you also prevent Lao Tzu from being like a thief, are you looking for a draw?"

Aunt Hu huddled at the foot of the bed with the child in her arms, crying so much that she could barely speak: "Really, there is no money...... The child still needs to eat, and I will go to work again......".

The adoptive father's attitude took another big turn, and he slowly leaned over: "Wife, are you bluffing me? I don't believe that you have no money at all, if you have money, you will give it to me, you give it to me, and I promise not to go out to gamble again." "

"There is really no money, and the children have not eaten for two meals. "

The adoptive father's smile disappeared, and he straightened up: "Cheng, don't give it, right? It's okay, anyway, one or two of you, it's all drag oil bottles, Lao Tzu doesn't want them all, you, you, and this little one, I don't want it." I have already sold this house, although it is a broken grass house, and it has been sold for twenty taels of silver, which is enough for me to spend, so you can pack up your things and go where you want. "

Aunt Hu was stunned: "What did you say? The house was sold? Our son is only two years old, where do you let him live?".

"Where do you like to live, useless

mother-in-law, Lao Tzu is not uncommon for a woman like you to be a wife! When Lao Tzu is interested, you either go to teach that broken book, or wash the laundry and wipe the floor and brush the urine bucket, and you will lose your appetite when you see it! Lao Tzu is now a good age, and you can find another young girl, hum, I divorced you. "

The adoptive father left in a drunken state, Aunt Hu hugged the ignorant child and cried heartbreakingly, Xiao Nie Chao walked up to Aunt Hu: "Aunt Hu, this is a good thing, there is no benefit to following such a man, and the three of us can also rely on each other." I'm already ten years old, and when I get fifteen, I can go out and earn money to support my family, and then you won't have to work so hard. "

Aunt Hu took Xiao Nie Chaoye into her arms, cried for a long time, and then packed her bags and went to spend the night with someone. They lived in the neighbor's house for a while, and when the neighbor saw that his adoptive father had sold the house, he reluctantly scolded him, and hurriedly said that they could help build a new one, but it would take a lot of money to buy bricks and tiles.

Aunt Hu took out the money hidden in the soles of her shoes, found a desolate place, and built another house.

Aunt Hu is alone with a son, and she has to take a half-grown child, and she gives them both a little delicious food on weekdays, and her body and bones are gradually getting worse and worse after long-term malnutrition.

During this period, the adoptive father came back to inquire once, and when he heard that they had built another room, he looked for it violently and asked Aunt Hu for money: "I really want to die, Lao Tzu asked you for money, and you said that you have no money, and you can build a new house in a new way! I see that you have long been two-hearted with me, so you deliberately guarded against me! Take out all your money for me, otherwise, my fist will not spare you!"

Aunt Hu's health was already very bad, how could she resist the beating and scolding, she could only give him the money she had in her hand, and her adoptive father spit out and counted the silver tickets, and snorted angrily: "Count you as acquaintances." "

Aunt Hu was sick, but she couldn't afford to see the disease, and when Nie Chao came back from school, in addition to learning calligraphy and silent calligraphy, he would also help her do housework. Aunt Hu is a simple and kind woman, very frugal, even if her son wants to eat something rare, or has something else he wants, Aunt Hu will tell him: "My brother can go to the imperial examination in two years, my brother studies so hard, what Dongdong wants to eat, keep it first, and give the money to my brother first, okay?"

Dongdong is very sensible, and he doesn't say anything about changing the pen when he uses a fork to learn calligraphy, and he almost never buys new clothes, he picks up the old clothes of the neighbors and wears them, which are either long or short.

Nie Chao knew that Aunt Hu and Dong Dong were good to him, and he was devoted to studying, wanting to gain fame, earn money, and take good care of Aunt Hu and his younger brother.

Until one day, Aunt Hu was taken to the hospital by a neighbor.

Nie Chao came back to find that there was no one at home, and the neighbor told him that Aunt Hu had fainted at the door of the house and had been sent to the hospital.

Nie Chao strode to the medical hall, Aunt Hu's face was sallow, lying on the bed, only her head was exposed, and her body was sunken, only a thin patch.

In the poor countryside, there is no serious doctor, that is a barefoot doctor, usually looking at the cold and fever, but nothing else.

Nie Chao borrowed a flat car and took her to the town, and the doctor in the town checked the pulse and said that he had to bring fifty taels within seven days to cure Aunt Hu's illness.

Their family couldn't even make up two taels of silver, how could they have fifty taels, such a sky-high figure almost crushed all the hopes of the Nie Dynasty.

There is also a five-year-old brother who has just started studying at home, and lying on the bed is the adoptive mother who took the initiative to save his life, Nie Chao sat in front of the bed and thought all night. In the end, he only came to one conclusion: no matter what, he had exhausted all means to get the fifty taels in seven days.
