Chapter 1: Finally Home
In winter, the cold wind is biting, and a frost last night made the temperature even lower, freezing so much that people's teeth made a "fight" sound, but this did not affect Cheng Yuzhu.
She was in a happy mood, her whole person was full of energy, and the heat was boiling.
After more than 30 years, she finally returned to her hometown.
The longing for a long time, the longing to go home is incomprehensible to others.
A cold wind blew, Cheng Yuzhu stretched out her shriveled hand, tightened the cotton jacket that was washed white and had several patches, and then looked up at the front, with a happy smile on her face.
Soon, she looked at a stone tablet sign with three big characters written on it, her eyes were red with excitement, and her hand holding the blue and red hemp rope duffel bag was clenched tightly.
Ahh
Trafficked at the age of eighteen, she finally escaped from the wolf's den and returned to her hometown where she longed day and night.
After not walking a few steps, Cheng Yuzhu's footsteps suddenly stopped, and her eyes stared at the red bar slogan two steps ahead, shocked.
Warmly welcome Zhao Baozhu and Cheng Cuiying home!
Cheng Yuzhu's eyes stared directly at the name on the slogan, one was the man she had missed all these years, and the other was her sister, they ......
Cheng Yuzhu retracted her gaze, and there was an indescribable feeling in her heart.
She didn't hate, she was abducted and trafficked for decades, of course Zhao Baozhu wanted to start a family.
She took a deep breath, smiled more ugly than crying, and continued walking.
"Baozhu, you are really the pride of our hometown! I didn't expect to see you again in my lifetime. ”
"Baozhu, Cuiying, you can come back and make your hometown shine. ”
didn't go far, the front was very lively, and the flattering words heard Cheng Yuzhu's ears, which made her have mixed feelings.
Standing not far away, looking at a man and a woman who were surrounded by the crowd in front of her, they were her former lover Zhao Baozhu and sister Cheng Cuiying.
The years have not left vicissitudes on their faces.
Zhao Baozhu was full of red light, full of energy, with a smug smile on his face, Cheng Cuiying, who was standing beside him, behaved demurely, dignified and generous, with a bright smile on his face, and was respected by the villagers like a darling.
On the other hand, Cheng Yuzhu herself, her white hair has lost her lustre, her beautiful and charming eyes are bulging, her face is yellow and thin, her waist is hunched, and she is skinny, which is very scary.
She hesitated for five seconds, carried her luggage, and stepped forward, not for anything else, just to say hello to them.
"Sister, Baozhu, congratulations ......"
Before Cheng Yuzhu finished speaking, she saw the smile on Cheng Cuiying's face disappear, and when she saw her as if she had seen a ghost, her face turned pale with fright, her body was trembling, and she stammered, "You ......"
Cheng Yuzhu didn't have any other ideas, she thought that Cheng Cuiying was frightened by her ugly appearance, so she hurriedly introduced, "Sister, I'm Yuzhu." ”
As soon as her words fell, it caused a big storm.
"Yuzhu, Cheng Jincai's second daughter. ”
"How is that possible? You see he looks like he's sixty or seventy years old. ”
"Isn't she dead?"
For a while, all the people who had known Cheng Yuzhu thought that he was dead.
Cheng Yuzhu was stunned and didn't know how to explain.
Just when she was wondering, Zhao Baozhu, who was standing in front of her, had already recognized her.
However, he didn't recognize her, but yelled angrily, "Where is the beggar, don't you get away quickly!
He looked disgusted, as if she was the plague, and wanted her to leave quickly.
Cheng Yuzhu looked at the man in front of him dumbfounded.
The man who once said that he only loved her was driving her away with a disgusting look at this time.
Cheng Yuzhu's lips moved but she couldn't say a word, her eyes flashed with tears, she was so sad and desperate.
I think that at the beginning, although she had a problem with the high school entrance examination, she substituted for three years in elementary school, except for part of it to her father, and the rest of the money was for Zhao Baozhu to study.
If it weren't for this man, she wouldn't have wanted to go out to work, let alone be abducted and trafficked to the ravine ten times poorer than their hometown for more than 30 years, and suffered so much, and he actually said that she was a beggar, and her conscience was simply eaten by dogs.
"If you want rice, give it, this bowl of braised pork is enough for you to eat for two days, let's go!"
A man put a large pot of braised pork in Cheng Yuzhu's hand and pushed her away, and the others followed her.
And Zhao Baozhu and Cheng Cuiying were even more disgusted and disgusted, and turned around to leave.
Their desperation broke Cheng Yuzhu's heart, and the words they wanted to explain swallowed back into their stomachs, replaced by sadness, loneliness, and a trace of dissatisfaction in their hearts.
She didn't take the pot of braised pork and turned to leave.
The long-term exertion made her legs sore and weak, and she took the tree trunk she had just picked up from the roadside as a crutch, walking step by step, ignoring the comments of others.
"You don't know, when Zhao Baozhu was in Cheng Cuiying's third year of junior high school, the two were already together......"
The voice was not small, and she was close to Cheng Yuzhu, she could hear it clearly, and suddenly seemed to be frozen by something, stopped, and the luggage in her hand fell to the ground.
Zhao Baozhu lied to her, and she had been with Cheng Cuiying for a long time??
No, no, it can't be!
Cheng Yuzhu didn't believe it, but the performance of Zhao Baozhu and his wife just now made her heart ache for a while.
The sudden betrayal and the ruthlessness just now made her heart cold.
How could they do this to her!
In order to earn Zhao Baozhu's college tuition, she gave up her life, and he just used her as a tool to earn money.
Her heart hurt so much that she couldn't breathe!
A wave of anger and unwillingness surged into her heart, so she didn't know where the strength came from, turned around, and ran in the direction of Zhao Baozhu, who was being supported.
"Zhao Baozhu, you bastard, you liar, you lie to me!"
Cheng Yuzhu ran over while scolding, waved the trunk in his hand and wanted to hit Zhao Baozhu, but he was stopped before he could touch him.
"Second sister, don't be impulsive!"
Cheng Yuzhu's younger brother, Zhao Yingjie, recognized her, stopped her, and took her in.
......
Winter nights always get dark early, and the village is quiet, and the cold wind is swishing, making the temperature even lower, but it does not affect Cheng Yuzhu, who is standing next to the reservoir.
Zhao Baozhu asked her to meet at 8 p.m. by the reservoir. This was the place where they had a tryst, and she wanted to ask him if he had been with Cheng Cuiying for a long time, and wanted him to give an explanation.
Cheng Yuzhu waited for more than an hour, and the man appeared, taking his daughter-in-law with him, and only said "She shouldn't come back", and then ruthlessly pushed her into the cold and biting reservoir.
"Cuiying, she's Yuzhu, your sister......"
"So what! Zhao Baozhu, don't forget, if it weren't for you letting her go out to work, she wouldn't have been abducted and trafficked, and you would be the culprit! If you don't want to let her disappear immediately because your reputation is ruined, otherwise, you will be all finished!"
Cheng Cuiying's words hit the key point of Zhao Baozhu, making him suddenly realize what Cheng Yuzhu is compared to his reputation.
"Okay, you hurry up or someone will find out and it will affect your reputation, and I'll deal with it. ”
"Okay, be careful yourself. ”
The man's hand gently brushed the bangs that blew to the corner of the woman's eyes to his ears, and his voice was full of gentleness and doting.
They are like a couple having a tryst next to the reservoir, ignoring Cheng Yuzhu, who is calling for help from him in the icy reservoir.
It wasn't until the man left that the woman looked condescendingly at Cheng Yuzhu, who was desperately breaking free in the reservoir, by moonlight, with a smug smile on her face......
