chapter 9 A poor but warm little home

The vegetable garden in the back house is not big, about half an acre, and a lot of vegetables are planted in it, including cucumbers, loofahs, peppers, eggplants, etc. The green growth is gratifying.

On three sides of the vegetable garden, a circle of two-meter-high thorns was planted as a fence to prevent thieves.

At the northernmost end is a ditch about half the size of a field, filled with water for watering vegetables.

Kame Austin couldn't help but feel tears in his eyes when he saw this square little canal.

This was the ditch that he and Ghauth Austin spent a week digging successfully while he was still alive.

The scene at that time is vivid in my mind.

The two brothers were shoveling in the pit, and he was telling his brother about everything about school, and his brother told him some interesting things about working odd jobs outside or going up to the mountains to hunt.

The two brothers have a deep relationship and enjoy themselves happily.

As for his brother's death, people in the village said that he died of cerebral hemorrhage due to drinking too much alcohol.

But Kame Austin didn't believe it.

He knew that his brother drank a lot and was in good health, so it was impossible for him to suffer from an age-related disease like cerebral hemorrhage.

The only possibility is to be framed to death.

As for the reason or who it is, there is no way of knowing.

Of course, this is just a guess on his part.

Without evidence, there is no way to prove that his brother did not die of illness.

When his brother died, he had been stupid for more than a year and had no idea what the situation was.

Now that his mind has improved, he has the idea in his heart to investigate the cause of his brother's death and give him justice.

After pouring most of the basket of fish into the ditch, Kame Austin walked towards the house.

Looking at this adobe bungalow with one side of the west wing collapsed, Kame Austin murmured to himself, "Sister Bridget is young and it is not easy to live with me in such a dilapidated house with a Cathy. Well, in the future I have to make money as soon as possible, help Sister Bridget pay off all her external debts, and then build a good house so that she can live a happy life."

Although he obtained the Five Elements Qi Refining Technique from Ji Gongjing, he has not studied it properly.

He believed that there must be a way for them to get rich.

It happened that Bridget was in the kitchen and asked him to pick some cucumbers and cook them back.

I just picked three green cucumbers and went back to the house.

As soon as he entered the room, Cathy Austin, who was sitting in the old shabby sitting rail, opened her little hand to him and asked him to hug her.

Looking at the thin and cute little pink face and the black gem-like eyes, Kame Austin heart immediately melted.

This is his brother's flesh and blood, and also his blood nephew, how could he not love him.

He immediately gave the cucumber to Bridget, then came back and picked up Cathy Austin, kissing her pink face non-stop.

The kiss made the little guy giggle non-stop, pat his head with his little hands, and even scratch his hair.

Bridget saw her daughter having fun with Kame Austin, and a knowing smile appeared on her beautiful face.

This is the life she wants most. Although the family lives together in a mediocre and poor way, they are also happy.

However, I don’t know how long this extremely simple happiness can last.

She always felt that Howie Brennan would definitely take revenge on them.

As for the method used, it is unknown.

When a large bowl of cucumber and perilla stewed crucian carp soup was brought to the table, Kame Austin sniffed hard and exclaimed: "It smells so good."

Use chopsticks to pick up a piece of soft and delicious cucumber, blow it cold hard, and then feed it to Cathy Austin.

Unexpectedly , Cathy Austin shook his head and resisted, mumbling with his small mouth, "Grandma, I want to eat grandma..."

"Kame Austin, put Cathy in the sitting rail and eat by yourself."

Bridget brought two bowls of rice to the table and ordered Kame Austin.

Kame Austin followed his words and wanted to put Cathy Austin down.

Unexpectedly, Cathy Austin hugged his neck tightly and hummed: "Hug, hug..."

She is eight months old and can speak briefly.

"Sister Bridget, you eat first. I'll hold Cathy and play for a while. I'll eat after you finish."

Kame Austin said, then he carried Cathy Austin out and went to the main room to play.

At this time, the wind started blowing outside, and a large dark cloud appeared in the northern sky, as if a thunderstorm was coming.

Kame Austin held Cathy Austin at the back door of the main room, watching the vegetables, watching the clouds, and watching the leaves swaying in the wind. He would also scratch her little neck from time to time, making her giggle.

After eating, Kame Austin rushed to wash the dishes.

He had never done such a thing before.

But today's initiative made Bridget suspicious again.

She sat on the chair and watched Kame Austin carefully while breastfeeding Cathy Austin .

It was just that she had just finished eating, and her milk production was not so fast.

This made Cathy Austin moan and cry again, and finally made a small bowl of porridge to comfort her belly.

Then she fell asleep peacefully in her mother's arms.

"Sister Bridget, why are you looking at me like that? Is my face a little dirty?"

Kame Austin said to Bridget curiously.

In fact, he also knew that Bridget had doubted himself.

After all, there are some places where you just can't play dumb.

In addition, they live together every day, and Bridget can see every detail.

Therefore, Kame Austin was wondering whether he should tell the truth to Bridget.

"Oh, it's okay. Well, Kame Austin, I'm taking Cathy to have a rest. Don't go out. Just rest on the couch. We probably have to go to the corn field to weed in the afternoon. By then, you have to take Cathy with you. of."

Bridget ordered, got up and walked towards the east wing with her daughter in her arms.

Put her daughter on the bed, cover her belly with a small towel, and sit on the edge of the bed, looking at her daughter's face in a daze.

Today, in order to increase her income, she worked hard to plant corn on all ten acres of land.

The reason is to make more money and pay off some foreign debts.

If you have extra money, you can help Kame Austin cure his stupid disease.

Someone once advised her to send Kame Austin to an orphanage and find another man to marry.

At least this way you won't live in such poverty.

To be honest, she was also tempted.

But when he saw his daughter, who was waiting for food, and the silly and honest Kame Austin, he couldn't bear to abandon him.

I had to grit my teeth and persevere.

She believed that as long as Kame Austin's stupid illness was cured, everything would be fine.

As for getting married, she didn't have that idea. After all the changes in her family of origin, and the situation of her husband's family, she no longer had confidence in marriage.

His only thought was to raise his daughter well and cure Kame Austin's stupid illness. That would be enough.

As for the future road, let’s take it one step at a time.

At this time, Kame Austin appeared at the door. Looking at Bridget, who was sitting in a daze, he stopped moving. He just stared at her blankly and stopped talking.

"Kame Austin, what's wrong with you? Do you have anything to say?"

Bridget stared at Kame Austin curiously and asked.

"Well, Sister Bridget, I was pushed into the well by Howie Brennan today and my head was hit, so my brain is good and bad. I don't know if it's good or not."

Kame Austin mumbled for a long time before speaking slowly.
