Chapter 65: The Fall
Yulan got up as usual and went to the balcony to practice yoga for a while. After practicing, I went downstairs and poured a glass of warm water, and saw the old lady and Li Aihua in the kitchen peeling beans and chatting.
"I said that I was born at nine o'clock last night, and I heard from the people who came to sell vegetables in the village that it seemed to be another daughter, and this is the third daughter of his family who died young, right?"
Yulan's hand drinking water was stagnant, and only the couple was going to give birth in Nanping Village this day, didn't Chen Ran save people?
She put down the cup and came to the old lady to half-squat and peel beans together, and asked Li Aihua curiously: "Auntie, who do you say is so unlucky that there are three children?"
Li Aihua's movements did not stop, and he took the time to answer Yulan: "Oh, it's from the village before." The family not far from our house, you don't know, the couple work outside all year round and rarely come home. ”
After a while, Li Aihua added: "It's the one you used to run to play when you were young." Do you remember that time when you had a high fever and a serious illness? His second daughter didn't have that time. When you came back from someone's house that day, you began to have a high fever at night, and I suspected that you had collided with something unclean, so I went to the nunnery to ask the master to draw a spirit talisman for you. Fortunately, the talisman worked, otherwise you would have become a fool. ”
Magnolia was in a trance, and that high fever was when she came back. She didn't think about what the reason was, but when what she had asked for for many years finally came true, it turned out that there was still this stubble in it?
Counting, the time in my memory should be the first time that the couple killed their son? As a result, the second time they killed the unlucky little Yulan, and caused her to fall seriously ill, so that she took up the body later?
And what she never forgot when she came back from rebirth was to save that child, does this count as a reincarnation in heaven?
Yulan didn't know if Chen Ran had succeeded, so she only pretended to be curious and asked Li Aihua, "How come there are no children?"
Li Aihua poured the peeled beans into a clean bowl and said: "The first two were born without gas, this one is said to be born well, but the kitchen burned in the second half of the night, the man only cared about saving his wife, the child was not rescued, and it was already burned to ashes when he was found......
She paused for a moment and said to the old lady: "You say that these young people are so unreliable, why are these newborn children not placed by her mother's side, and carried to the kitchen?"
The old lady didn't say anything, and Yulan snorted coldly in her heart: "What else can you do, kill people, set fire to destroy corpses." ”
Li Aihua is still sighing: "It seems that there are no old people in this family." If an old man had helped to take a look, his house would not have been so miserable. I'll go back in the afternoon to see if there's anything I can help with. ”
Yulan really didn't want A-Niang to sympathize with this couple who were inferior to beasts, and said to Li Aihua in surprise: "A-Niang, I think they didn't save the child because they asked for it." Since they are working outside, can't they just give birth in the local hospital? Do they have to wait until they are about to give birth before going back to their hometown to give birth themselves? In the past, when people in the village were about to give birth, they would shout for help and the villagers would help send them to the health center. Isn't there a ready-made doctor in our village? That man is not a doctor, and he dares to deliver his wife? Maybe it was because of his child that he died. ”
Li Aihua frowned and looked at Yulan, wanting to refute her, but found that he had nothing to say, and suddenly became unhappy: "Hey, you kid, it's miserable enough for people to have no children, why are you still gloating? Do you have a little sympathy?"
Yulanxin said: "If I sympathize with them, I will feed the dog with my conscience." ”
At this time, the old lady who had been silent spoke: "Erya's words are right. I guess this young couple wants to have a son. We have strict family planning here, and only one child is good to have. If they go to the hospital or have someone else around, they won't be able to hide it when they give birth to a daughter. Born secretly, if it is a son, it will stay, if it is a daughter, it will not be, just find an excuse to say that it did not survive, and no one will pursue it, so it is more troublesome. ”
Li Aihua was not stupid, and when he heard the old lady's words, he immediately asked in disbelief: "Are you...... What do you mean...... It means ......"
She shuddered at the thought of the meaning behind these words.
Tiger poison still doesn't eat children, is this couple ......?
The old lady said slowly, "Oh, I don't mean anything. You don't have to go in the afternoon, anyway, they don't know our family well, and they don't have a relationship. ”
The Magnolia chick nodded like pecking rice, "That's it, grandma is right." ”
Li Aihua didn't bother to pay attention to Yulan, if it was really like what the old lady said, then the couple was too ruthless.
Yulan took a wet cloth to help the old lady wipe her hands clean, and pushed the wheelchair out of the kitchen.
She asked the old lady, "Grandma, the sun is not big now, the weather is not hot, can I push you out for a walk?"
The old lady nodded, and Magnolia slowly pushed her wheelchair across the stone bridge and walked slowly along the road at the school gate.
During the school holidays, the people who went up to work on the mountain left as soon as dawn, and there were not many people on the road at this time, so Yulan asked the question that she had been holding back for a long time: "Grandma, those children, if they don't want to raise them, just give them away, why do they have to die?"
There are always people in the countryside who want to have sons, and if they don't want to raise their daughters, they give them to others as child daughters-in-law. Although the life of a child bride is not necessarily easy, at least she can live.
"There are soft-hearted parents and ruthless parents in this world, and there is nothing strange about it. They have lost their reverence for life. Do all these things that hurt the peace of the world, and they will regret it in the future. ”
Yulan smiled, what is the point of regretting it or not? It is impossible for a dead life to come back to life.
What's more, they don't think they have done anything wrong, otherwise how could they be ruthless again and again.
Yulan is now extremely eager that this fire was set by Chen Ran, so at least it means that he has succeeded.
After taking the old lady around, Magnolia returned the same way.
After eating, Yulan read the book for a while, and then started to finish the clothes that she hadn't had time to make after cutting yesterday, and planned to send them to Chen Dong'er before returning to school.
In the afternoon, before going out, Chen Ran called.
Chen Li helped drag the lockbox and prepared to send her to the car, Yulan picked up the phone and heard the person opposite say the word "done", and immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Chen Li looked at her strangely and asked, "Why don't you answer the phone?"
Magnolia said calmly, "I made a mistake. ”
Chen Li suddenly stopped asking. When Yulan got into the car, he stood there for a long time without moving, until the car turned and he couldn't see, Chen Li went home slowly with his hands behind his back.
Yulan didn't see Daddy's figure anymore, her nose was sore, and the tears she had endured for a long time finally fell.
Suddenly remembered a sentence: "Life is a subtraction, see one side and less side." ”
She tried to reunite her family, but in the end, the family inevitably separated from each other, and they couldn't see each other twice a year, except for the New Year.
Sad for a while, Yulan felt funny again, sad spring and sad autumn is the most useless, since there are no conditions for getting together, then create your own conditions.
