Chapter 8: Refusing to return to Song's house
Xu Xiuxiu cursed, and began to feel uneasy, watching the small piece of iron gently flick the deadbolt back and forth, and her breathing followed for fear that the sound of breathing would be detected by the other party.
Smack! The deadbolt was successfully removed from position, and the wooden door was slowly pushed open from the outside.
Bang -
Only then did the visitor poke into his head, Xu Xiuxiu waved a baseball bat and hit him in the head, and the other party fell to the ground without even making a sound.
Xu Xiuxiu clutched the baseball bat, stared at the person who fell to the ground for a while, and then retracted his reason and ran to the bed after beating the drums uncontrollably, picked up the sleeping Xiao Chenguang neatly, turned around and ran to the Song family on the wall and knocked on the door.
This is the first time, Xu Xiuxiu is so glad that Song Yuanhuan found a house so close to the original owner.
Xu Xiuxiu's sound of banging on the door was very hard, and it didn't take long for a lot of people to be alarmed, and the first one to run out to open the door was Song Yuantao, the eldest brother of Song Yuanhuan, who worked in the brick kiln factory in the county on weekdays, and today is also a rare rest before returning home.
"Second brother and sister, why are you in the middle of the night, is something wrong?" Song Yuantao looked at Xu Xiuxiu and said in surprise.
"Uncle, there was a thief in my house, and I knocked him unconscious at the door of the house with a wooden stick just now." Xu Xiuxiu said uneasily, holding Xiao Chenguang's arm slightly.
"What? What bastard would dare to do this. Song Yuantao's face darkened, turned sideways to let Xu Xiuxiu into the house, turned around and grabbed a wooden stick from the yard and walked towards Xu Xiuxiu's house.
The father of the Song family has always felt young when he is old, and when he heard the knock on the door, he also came out with his clothes on, and when he saw his second daughter-in-law who was frightened, he nodded and took a wooden stick and followed the eldest son to help.
"Xiuxiu, are you okay?" Song's mother, Liu Shuxiang, also got up, and when she saw Xu Xiuxiu sitting in the hall holding Song Chenguang, her heart trembled.
"Mom, I'm fine." Xu Xiuxiu shook her head with a white face.
To be honest, she is purely holding on now, and the strength of her fear is too violent, and she has some uncontrollable prostration.
"This bastard with a thousand cuts." Song's mother, Liu Shuxiang, glanced at Xu Xiuxiu, and then looked at the gate of the courtyard worriedly.
There are a lot of petty thefts in the village, but there has never been a person sleeping in the house and someone dares to come to the door to steal, obviously this person should know the situation of Xu Xiuxiu's family, and know that there is a woman and a child in the family, so he dares to come to the door, fortunately, these two daughters-in-law are vigilant, otherwise things may not end up!
Thinking of this, Song's mother Liu Shuxiang was also afraid for a while, and folded her hands and chanted a Bodhisattva blessing.
And Song Yuantao and the father of the Song family, who were carrying wooden sticks to Xu Xiuxiu's house, also came back at this moment, and their faces were very bad, "Let that kid run away." When the two arrived, the man had already woken up and ran, if it weren't for the Song family's father who turned on the light and saw some blood stains at the door of the house, he might have thought that Xu Xiuxiu was scaring himself!
"Ran away?" Xu Xiuxiu hugged Xiao Chenguang, her face turned pale.
It must be that her strength is not enough, just knocking the other party unconscious for a while, and she knew that she would make up for him when the other party fell to the ground.
"Hmm!" Song Yuantao nodded helplessly.
"Why did you let people run away?" Song's mother, Liu Shuxiang, wanted to ask for details.
"Okay, the person is okay and nothing has been touched, just run away!" Father Song frowned and was silent in front of the hall for a while before speaking, "It's late at night, old woman, you take the old family to clean up Yuanyao's house and let Xiuxiu sleep for one night." Father Song looked at his wife and Wang Qinghua, who had just walked to the hall, and ordered.
"Okay, I'll go." Song's mother Liu Shuxiang nodded immediately, and then took Wang Qinghua to tidy up the house for Xu Xiuxiu.
After tossing for half a night, when Xu Xiuxiu was lying on Song Yuanyao's wooden bed with Song Chenguang, who was still asleep, it was almost two o'clock in the morning, but she didn't have the slightest sense of sleep, and tonight's fright could be said to make her feel the powerlessness of living in the eighties for the first time.
She knows that the status of women in this era is generally relatively low, as if getting married and having children is the fate of their lives, take tonight's incident as an example, if she doesn't handle it well, she can't actually get any benefits, if the other party is still a ruffian and is caught but bites her in turn to slander her reputation, she is alone at home and can't say it at all, it can be said that it is difficult to argue with a hundred mouths.
This point, she saw it from the serious expression of the Song family's father just now, in this regard, Xu Xiuxiu was glad that the other party ran away and was angry and let the other party slip away in vain.
Finally hit the light of day, Xu Xiuxiu, who had not slept all night, finally couldn't resist the invasion of sleep and knocked his eyes, but Song Chenguang, who had not been woken up all night and slept until dawn, gradually woke up, the little guy opened his eyes and found that the place where he slept had changed, and suddenly he was a little excited and howled, "Ma Ma ......" Song Chenguang before was used to the abuse of the original owner and was used to being alone, but recently the little guy was used to Xu Xiuxiu's temper, as long as he left Xu Xiuxiu's side, this guy would be very difficult to serve.
"What's wrong? Chenguang doesn't cry! Xu Xiuxiu immediately opened her eyes and hugged the little guy into her arms to comfort her.
"Mama!" Song Chenguang immediately stopped howling when he saw Xu Xiuxiu, and a pair of eyes squeezed out a little tear, so pitiful and cute, suddenly Xu Xiuxiu's heart was crisp, and the heart that had been hanging for a night also dissipated because of the little guy's dependence.
On the Song family's dining table in the morning.
Xu Xiuxiu sat in the position with Xiao Chenguang in her arms and drank porridge quietly, and Liu Shuxiang, Song's mother, who took out a plate of side dishes from the kitchen, slowly spoke, "Xiuxiu, or I will clean up the original Westinghouse, and you can bring Chenguang to live at home!" "What happened last night, Song's mother was scared enough, she didn't want this to happen, and Xu Xiuxiu was not at ease when she lived there alone with her child.
Xu Xiuxiu was stunned when she heard this, and continued to feed Xiao Chenguang quietly, but her eyes quietly glanced at her sister-in-law Wang Qinghua, whose face was pulled down, and saw that her face was dark, and she didn't seem to want Xu Xiuxiu to live at home.
"No need Mom, I'm used to living over there." Xu Xiuxiu lightly refused.
Although she was scared enough last night, but now she has come to her senses, Song's mother Liu Shuxiang let her live at home is of course kind, but thinking about it in the future, there will always be some small friction when she lives with so many people every day, it is a trivial matter for her to be uncomfortable, the key is that she can no longer open a small stove for Song Chenguang, thinking about the little meat that he was finally raised by her, Xu Xiuxiu refused.
