The proprietress slowly told the story of the deaf woman, "Speaking of this deaf woman, I heard that she was sold here during the war. Because he was too young when he was sold, he didn't have much of an impression, not even his own relatives, and he was working as a servant in a landlord's house at that time. Originally, she didn't ask for anything when she had food and clothing, but then the war broke out, there was a famine, and the landlord's family all emigrated abroad, so naturally those servants dispersed.
The deaf woman married once, just because her previous husband was so stingy with her. If this man is a miser, he really can't get married. According to the deaf woman, she was sick once and wanted to eat some fruit, so she begged her husband to help her buy an orange to satisfy her hunger, but the man was not generous enough, and scolded the deaf woman and said that she was a loser. This person can't be too stingy, especially for his daughter-in-law and women, isn't it just trying to hurt someone? If this life is good, he will marry a good man, and if he is unlucky, he can only marry those bad men who are hypocritical.
Once a woman changes her mind, ten cows will not be able to pull it back. Later, the deaf woman changed her marriage, and it was the kidnapper Chen of this village, because the kidnapper Chen was physically defective, and the girls in the nearby villages refused to marry. The kidnapper Chen dragged on until he was in his forties, thinking that he would die alone, but he didn't expect him to go out to do a business and actually kidnap someone else's daughter-in-law back. At this time, Chenjiacun made a commotion, and some people with good deeds made up a limerick poem: abducting a scholar marries a wife, and abducts someone else's wife. This limerick poem was passed on the streets and alleys, but the deaf woman didn't care much about it.
There are also bad-hearted men in the village, who always take advantage of the abduction Chen to go out to do errands, and harass her from time to time, and the deaf woman at most scolds her with both hands in her hips. In the end, he didn't dare to fight. After all, you have to take care of the face of the kidnapper Chen. Not long after, the abductor Chen had his first child, Chen Jin. However, the kidnapper's life was not good, the child was not yet three years old, and he went out to run errands and encountered robbers and lost his life. This gold is bitter for the deaf mother-in-law and the son. The deaf woman has a hard life, and she has worked hard to bring her eldest son, but she is the reincarnation of a debt collector. Originally, Chen Jin, this child, has a very likable impression, a sweet mouth, can talk when he sees people, and is quite a clever child. I thought he would be a little good when he grew up, but he didn't expect to get into drug addiction and gambling habits. I heard that he was murdered like this.
After Chen Jin went to high school, he went to work in a big city, and sent money home every month to pay for his deaf wife's living expenses. This was also a filial child, during the part-time job also asked for a daughter-in-law, gave birth to three children, I thought that the deaf woman could enjoy a blessing, but I didn't expect Chen Jin to be addicted to drugs, not only addicted to drugs, but also good gambling, since then, often see him go home and ask the deaf woman for money. Of course the deaf woman refused to give it, knowing that her son was useless, she had to keep the money to defend herself!
Chen Jin's stinky boy, borrowing money everywhere, cheating on food and drink, gambling as soon as he has money, as soon as he is addicted to drugs, he robs money when he sees people, or steals other people's things at night to sell them for money. He steals everything, not even the scrap iron bottles and jars I keep in the backyard. He also paid 100 yuan for instant noodles on credit in my store, but he didn't give it. The proprietress was a little excited when she said this.
"And then?" I asked, with a spirit of perseverance.
She went to the shelf and took a bottle of water, drank a few sips, relieved her dry mouth, and then continued: "This person has become bad, and naturally the daughter-in-law will not be able to keep it." I heard that Chen Jin's daughter-in-law ran away with someone, can a person like him keep his daughter-in-law? Later, Chen Jin intensified his efforts and wanted to sell his one-year-old daughter, which was not known by the deaf woman, so she deliberately went to the city to scold the unfilial son, and quickly snatched her granddaughter back and took her with her, so that the girl escaped. However, I think that girl is much luckier to follow the deaf woman, at least she won't starve and freeze, and she is now in the fourth grade. The proprietress smiled, and seemed quite satisfied with the result.
"Then do you know how Chen Jin died?" Brother Yang asked.
The proprietress was a little impatient, "That kind of person is innocent of death, I can't imagine that he is very ruthless, holding the two grandsons of the deaf woman to drink poison and commit suicide, let the deaf woman send the black-haired person,!" However, later, some people who looked fierce and vicious went to the deaf woman, and I heard that it was a person from the underworld, saying that Chen Jin owed a lot of money to others and had not paid it back, and asked the deaf woman to pay off the debt for Chen Jin. This incident was quite a big problem, and it was okay when the police reconciled it later. But from time to time, the gang would come and scare the deaf woman and her granddaughter. Therefore, when the deaf woman sees strangers now, she drives away strangers with brooms, and no one is an exception. โ
"Then do you know where Chen Jin's daughter-in-law has gone, and where she lives now?" Bai Xuanzhi's eyes lit up and asked casually. The proprietress shook her head, "I don't know, I ran away with someone, fortunately I ran away with someone, otherwise Chen Jin would have to sell her, and even her daughter could be sold, not to mention his daughter-in-law, right?" The proprietress gasped a few times, as if she was fighting for Chen Jin's daughter-in-law.
"Have you ever seen her come back?" Brother Yang then asked. The proprietress still shook her head, "I didn't pay attention to this. Probably not, if anyone had seen her, it would have spread long ago, and this village would not be able to hide things. The proprietress said that, and it made sense. I thought about it, "Then do you know what Chen Jin's daughter-in-law's name is?" The proprietress thought seriously for a while, and muttered to herself: "It seems to be called ...... Little sister, I didn't ask much about my surname, but I heard Chen Jin call her daughter-in-law's name a few times. Moreover, Chen Jin's daughter-in-law rarely comes back to the village, and she sees Chen Jin bringing his three children back every New Year's Day, and his daughter-in-law really hasn't come back much. I also asked curiously about this once, and Chen Jin said that his daughter-in-law couldn't leave from work. The proprietress sighed softly, and at the same time felt pity for the ill-fated deaf woman. Yes, fate is sometimes so helpless.
After chatting for a while, the proprietress was also busy, and when a guest came, she was going to stare at the goods, maybe one was missing, and she was going to suffer from her husband's cynicism. This is what she told us herself, and presumably these two people often make do with each other. As the proprietress said, the couple lived a love life in the first year or two, and in the days to come, they lived a farce life of enemies and red-eyedness.
