Kang's Small Courtyard XVII

The moon is due south, the silver light fills the ground, and the fields are quiet.

Okhyun sat under a large willow tree, the soft branches of the willow leaves hanging down and swaying over her head and shoulders. In front of him is a well with a wooden bucket frame, and it is time to end his life!

Perhaps tomorrow morning, when the owner of the vegetable garden puts on the cart of water for his livestock, he will immediately find her...... The men and women of ten miles and eight villages should have something to gossip about. She will forever remain in the villagers' impression as a bad woman......

She suddenly thought of her grandfather, the old man who handed over the "treasury" to her daughter-in-law in less than two months after she passed through the door, how many such good old men could Xiaohe Yichuan count! How many families have married daughters-in-law, fathers, sons, brothers, and concubines to fight and divide their families, aren't they all for the sake of family property and money? She is so sorry for her grandfather that if she can meet her, she will kneel down in front of her and beg the old man to beat her. That way, if she dies, it will be easier.

She thought of Qinwa. He was clumsy, but his arms around her were so strong. He was clumsy, but not a word he could speak was empty. He came back from the village from the adobe, smiled, took out the money from the big pocket of the coarse cloth shirt, handed it to her with great confidence, and watched her put it in the dressing box that Ah Bus gave her......

She is sorry for Ah Gong and Qinwa. She didn't have the face to stare at someone who treated her so sincerely. She should have jumped into the well immediately!

She can't stand Ah Gong and Qinwa. When you leave the Yang world, you should repent of the mistakes you have already realized, make up for your heart, and it's not too late to die!

She stood up, stared indifferently at the moonlit well water, and left. She re-walked from the field road to the official road, crossed through the mulberry town, and went home directly, so as not to go back to her mother's house, her father endlessly asked, and if she died, she should be the ghost of the Kang family!

Yuxian walked to Mulberry Town, and the street was empty. When I passed in front of the inn, there was a bunch of people around the door, giggling and making a lot of noise. She wanted to turn her head, this inn, I had heard it before, was a messy place, Ding skewers open the stack to make money, and the mother-in-law sold her body to make money.

"Oops! I drank vinegar and sobered up!"

"Irrigation!"

"Pinch your nose!"

Someone was drunk again, and Yuxian walked over.

"I-no-drink!"

Yuxian heard the roar of the drunk man who was being filled with vinegar, and suddenly stopped his feet - how did it look like the voice of Qinwa?

"Poison—medicine—"

This time I heard it really, it's Qinwa. Oh my God! How did he get to this ghost stack? Her heart contracted and sank, realizing what she had become!

Yuxian turned around, ran to the crowd, pushed aside the crowd of onlookers, and through the light of the lantern shooting from the door, he saw Qinwa being held tightly by a person, and Ding Chuanchuan was pouring vinegar into his mouth. Qinwa gritted her teeth, closed her eyes, and sprinkled her face and chest with vinegar water, covered in mud. Yuxian jumped up, hugged Qinwa, and cried: "My you......"

Ding Chuanchuan and everyone stopped and discussed.

Yuxian pulled up the placket, wiped Qinwa's face, grabbed one arm, put it on her neck, and wrapped the other hand tightly around Qinwa's waist, almost carrying the heavy body on her back, dragging it, leaving the Ding family's stack and walking on the official road......
