Chapter 251: Life is Hard
Grandpa said: "It's still like that, it's crazy every day, dirty every day, all the hair is gray, and Mr. Zhao and I will send some food for a few days." If we meet someone we know, we will be sarcastic, saying that if our family has excess food and there is nowhere to send it, it is better to give it to them and not let it be given to the women of the Lin family. But we didn't listen. ”。
I was very angry, "What do you mean? Do they just let this woman starve to death?"
"Forget it, isn't it just a few scoldings, don't worry about it. ”
"The woman begged me to help get her out, and I wondered, can we find a way to save her?"
Mr. Zhao frowned: "No! Now this woman is the public enemy of the whole village, not to mention that Yang Yulan's father died so miserably, the Yang family is a big family in the village, and if their family doesn't let go, no one can take it back." ”
"Yes, and now everyone is speculating about the Lin family's money. It's all hidden by this woman, and if we take it back, it's easy to fall into the trap and think we're in it for money. Grandpa sighed.
After so many things, we all understand that good things are not done casually, if you don't get it right, you will be unlucky and suffer, and you haven't said a good word. It's an eventful time in our family right now, so we have to be careful
I thought about it, took two corn buns, carried the hoe and went outside. I finally didn't feel at ease with the woman, so I went around a lot of time to the village committee, and saw the crazy woman rolling in a barn in the backyard, and on such a hot day, she was wearing a patched cotton jacket, and her face was as black as a carbon stripe. It's hard for her, too.
She sat on the ground scratching her hair vigorously, and there were iron chains on her wrists and ankles, which were tied to a large grinding disc behind her, and she was not even seen as a human being. When she saw me coming, she froze for a moment, then frowned silently.
I saw that there was no one in private, and threw the two buns over: "You eat, I'm thinking of a way, I'm also expelled from me now, and I can't help you for the time being, but I promise that I will definitely find a way to let you out." ”
The woman didn't speak, she lowered her head and gulped on the bun, as if she didn't react at all to my words, and she didn't understand it.
I saw someone approaching in the distance, and I couldn't say anything, so I had to leave quickly.
I knew she must have understood me.
Walking through the intersection in front, I actually saw Lin Xiaoyan, who was carrying a burden and walking listlessly.
She walked across the street with me. Her shirt was the same I gave him before we got married, and now it's all washed and discolored. He looked very haggard. It's a full woman.
Generally, when you go back to your parents' house, you have to dress up very glamorous, and if you have the conditions, you have to hold a bag of fruits, canned food or something, indicating that your in-laws attach great importance to themselves and send things back, but she is so embarrassed, it is really shabby.
But I've always been the one she laughed at, and I was qualified to others, so I wanted to bypass the path, but I was stopped by her: "Xiu'er, are you back?"
I smiled and put the hoe down: "yes, what's wrong with you." Is this going back to my mother's house?"
She nodded and looked at me, "You look good, you don't look like you've been dumped at all." You've always been optimistic. What's going on now, I'm actually worried about you. ”
I paused for a moment, and the man's tone was not sarcastic at all, but he really cared about me, and it was surprising how she suddenly returned to normal.
I said, "It's okay, I'm the same everywhere, nothing." How's that for you, aren't you?"
"yes, I have good news. Lin Xiaoyan said and touched her stomach.
I quickly congratulated: "This is a good thing, there is good news to get married so soon, it is really good, your in-laws and husband must be very happy!"
Lin Xiaoyan smiled bitterly: "What is there to be happy about, it's not the first time." I've lost one. ”
I widened my eyes and looked at her belly, didn't I, I had a miscarriage after only a few months of marriage?
"I was pregnant before, but I found someone to see it, it was a girl, so I was killed, I didn't want to, it was my first child, but there was no way, my mother-in-law didn't support me to keep the child, I had to beat it, this child was just conceived. If it's a girl at that time, it's estimated that she will still fight. ”
I don't even know what to say, and now is not the time for family planning. Three or five children are normal.
Besides, I can't believe what Ye Langzhong said in the village!
Naturally, I said in a good way, everything has happened, let's open it, your husband will definitely treat your Yunyun well, don't let her think too much, and it won't be good for the prince.
Lin Xiaoyan hesitated for a moment, but still said: "Actually, my man had a child daughter-in-law in his family before, and he had already given birth to two girls to their family. ”
"What!" I was really scared! I had only heard that there was a child daughter-in-law, who would have thought that the children had been born, and they were two female babies? This beast thing is really immoral enough, no wonder I can't find a partner in this village!
But in the previous life, it seems that I didn't hear about it, and it is estimated that the stepwife can't bear it, and she is married, and she can't get a divorce, so she can only endure it.
"You're scared, right? I didn't know anything before, I thought I had found a good family, and when I got married, the child was sent to a relative's house to hide, and when I was pregnant and knew that I couldn't run, I took the child back, I was going crazy, and I ran to my mother's house, but I was still arrested halfway. Our family is so poor, how can we accept me back, the bride price money is given to my younger brother Murakami to prepare for marriage, I can only go back. ”
I see, that's what I'm talking about that night, right? Because I knew that my husband was cheating, that he already had two daughters, and that he had married himself, a yellow flower girl, he cried in despair, but in the end he couldn't help it, so he went back. Because there are too many daughters in her mother-in-law's family, she heard that Langzhong said that she is still a girl, so she ruthlessly asked her to beat the child out. Otherwise, the family gave birth to daughters, and it must be said that Li Dong would not give birth to a handle, and the litter was all money-losing goods, and he would be laughed at by the villagers to death.
That's why their family didn't want her to have a girl.
If I had used to, I would have scolded that man, what he started cheating on before marriage, and he had the face to force his daughter-in-law to kill the child! But now I can't do that. My relationship with her hasn't reached that level, not to mention that it's already like this, how can I still get a divorce. This is the 70s, what a terrible thing divorce is in the countryside, even in the 21st century, there are few divorces in the countryside. Even if a man eats, drinks, prostitutes, and gambles, a woman can only admit that he is unlucky.
I persuaded me that if I had a son, I would have a better life in the future: "Even if there are two girls, it's nothing, sooner or later I will get married, can't I still help you work?"
Lin Xiaoyan looked at me and said for a long time, "Yes." It's good, the people in the village persuaded me like this, and said that in a few years, I could exchange those two girls for a bride price. ”
"yes, isn't it good, no one is perfect, there are always regrettable times. Now that you're both married, you have to live a good life and don't quarrel over some past things. The days will go on. "I can't say, you get a divorce, don't live with such a scumbag! Patriarchal brutes can't do it! If I really say that, I guess Lin Xiaoyan can only hate me to death. I'm not going to worry about these things.
Maybe it's a bit like a plastic sisterhood, but that's all I can do
She asked me all this just to find someone to complain about and get some comfort.
"I'm worried that this baby is still a girl, and it's over. ”
I said: "Don't always think like this, didn't Lang Zhong say that it was a male fetus, believe her words, besides, it was your husband who gave birth to you, even if it is a female baby at that time, it is her decision, what does it matter to you, you are angry, it is her fault that he had a baby with someone else before marriage!"
Lin Xiaoyan nodded, "Xiu'er, you are so good, you often comfort me, I have been making trouble for you before, now think about it." I really regret it, can you forgive me?"
I hurriedly said: "What's this, there's nothing to say about the relationship between our sisters, it's always been very good, I don't blame you, you don't have to take it to heart, life is getting better and better." ”
Lin Xiaoyan took my hand and said good things for a long time before leaving.
I watched her walk away, and then I went to work. In the afternoon, I shoveled the ground, and I was shoveling weeds in the cornfield, it was really hot, like a steamer, and I could feel the heat on the ground running to it, and I was going to fall asleep at any time.
My arms kept rubbing against the weeds, the hot sweat covered my eyes, my ears were buzzing, and I drank a lot of water in my stomach, but I felt that I didn't absorb it at all, and it was all swaying in my stomach.
The others were also wilted, and some of the men were naked, and their backs were sunburned.
It's more than three o'clock, and the heat still hasn't been eliminated at all, and everyone can breathe a sigh of relief when they see the people who check it, and the bold people can already go home, and the day has finally passed.
