In 1987, the autumn was particularly cold.

In Ping County, Zhongyu, among the thousands of hectares of fertile land, the Qianmo traffic extending in all directions connects thousands of households in one village and one village.

After sowing the new season of wheat, Duan Qiuping ushered in the darkest day of her life.

She stood at the door of Li Laosan's house in Lijia Village, looking at the towering plane trees in the Gaomen compound, full of pathos and hesitation.

In the cuffs of the coarse cloth jacket, there was a divorce certificate that had not been covered with heat, but the moment the divorce certificate arrived, Duan Qiuping felt that it had a hot heat that burned her skin.

Before receiving this divorce certificate, she was still the mistress of the family in front of her.

The mistress of this home......

Heh――

Duan Qiuping smiled bitterly self-deprecatingly.

She has been a cow and a horse in this family for sixteen years, but it is not as important as the dog in the yard!

After feeling sorry for herself for a long time, Duan Qiuping mustered up the courage to knock on the red door of Li Laosan's house.

"Who-"

The sound of vigor was heard from within the brick courtyard walls, followed by the sound of approaching footsteps.

The one who opened the door was a young man about twelve years old, and when the other party saw that it was Duan Qiuping, his face changed when he brushed the ground, his eyes flickered, and he called out in a low voice, "Mother-"

This is Duan Qiuping's son Li Baoyu. When she conceived and gave birth to him in October, Duan Qiuping never experienced the mother-son relationship that blood is thicker than water from him.

"I have something to say to your father." Duan Qiuping said weakly.

"Then you wait a minute." After speaking, Li Baoyu cautiously closed the door.

The blow of being turned away added another bloody scar to Duan Qiuping's heart, which was almost overwhelmed.

After a while, Li Laosan's father Li Chun's angry scolding came from Li Laosan's house: "What are you doing with that dog ‖ mother's frustrated goods!" I don't do anything all day long, I ask her to serve someone, and she has a bitter face. Who does she show her face all day long! Why don't you hurry up and get away—"

Li Chun is seventy and eighty, ‖moaning and moaning day and night without illness, either it hurts or it hurts, I really don't know where his spirit comes from when he scolds.

Listening to the wind is the rain, the neighbors were led out by Li Chun's repeated scolding.

The daughter-in-law of the opposite family was the first audience to show her head to see the excitement, she had already caught a glimpse of Duan Qiuping standing at the door of Li Laosan's house at the crack of the door, but she pretended to be surprised by Qiuping and said: "Qiuping, why are you still in Lijia Village?"

Duan Qiuping smiled awkwardly, she didn't even have a chance to ignore him, and the door of Li Laosan's house opened to her again.

Li Laosan opened a door halfway, and it was not difficult to glimpse the second elder of the Li family behind him from the crack in the door, as well as Li Laosan's concubine Hu Dani who gloated while watching the play.

Duan Qiuping is convinced that in a few years, Hu Dani's flower and moon appearance will become old and yellow like her, and her hands will be calloused and rough.

Guarding the door, Li Laosan deliberately reminded Duan Qiuping to wake up, "Didn't you agree to go out of the house!" ”

He was worried in his heart, could it be that this woman was going to regret it?

Li Laosan glanced back at the second elder and the new daughter-in-law of the Li family, they were all uneasy like him, and they deserved to be a raccoon dog.

"I ......" rehearsed countless times in her heart, and Duan Qiuping found that she still couldn't cope with it. She said with difficulty, "I'll take Parsley away." ”

Hearing that she was not trying to make money, Li Laosan relaxed his vigilance against Duan Qiuping a lot, he opened the door and raised his voice and said: "Xiangqin is my daughter, I raise it myself, you go quickly!"

"You said you raised, she was about to die, did you find a doctor to show her!" Duan Qiuping asked loudly.

Li Laosan couldn't help but be stunned, he had known Duan Qiuping for more than 20 years and had shared a bed with her for more than 10 years, and it was the first time he had heard her speak so loudly.

When Li Laosan was stunned, Li Chun behind him became impatient, "Tell her to take that half-dead sick seedling with her!" It's also a blessing for that dead girl in the future! ”

Li Laosan is also a person who can settle accounts, and it is better to raise some livestock than to raise a dying person. Domestic animals can still be slaughtered and eaten when they are dying, and people have to fill their coffins when they die.

Duan Qiuping took the useless girl away, which was equivalent to taking away the trouble of Li Laosan's family.

Li Laosan settled this account in his heart, so he no longer pretended to be a gesture, and happily agreed to Duan Qiuping to take Li Xiangqin away.

There are also good people in Lijia Village, and Li Xuan in the north sympathizes with Duan Qiuping's mother and daughter, so he drove them back to Duanjiazhuang, which is Duan Qiuping's maiden home.

Fifteen-year-old Li Xiangqin was skinny and skinny, and Duan Qiuping carried her all the way from the village to the door of her parents' house with a faceless face, and she didn't feel tired at all.

One wall, two doors.

Duan Qiuping stopped at the small door, and suddenly felt that her steps were as heavy as lead, and she couldn't move anymore.

The autumn wind swept by, blowing the locust trees in the small courtyard, and the dry locust leaves were rustling in the wind.

With a "squeak", the slightly larger door next to it opened, and out came a young woman with a lot of grace.

The woman patted the folds of the silk cloth rosette jacket, raised her hand to support the neat haircut behind her head, and turned her delicate eyes to catch a glimpse of the down-and-out Duan Qiuping and Li Xiangqin.

She was stunned at first, and after taking a few steps closer and looking carefully, she retreated to the original door, looked at Duan Qiuping's vulgar dress with disdain, and said with a sneer on the corner of her lips but pretended to be surprised: "Isn't this the eldest sister-in-law-Sister Qiuping, what wind blew you back?"

Duan Qiuping has never been good at dealing with her younger brother and daughter-in-law, she lowered her head slightly to her younger brother-in-law and asked, "Orchid, is Daddy in there?"

Feng Lanhua pursed her lips and sneered, rolled her eyes, and spoke with a lively look, "You can go in and take a look!" ”

Duan Qiuping shouldn't have asked about orchids, this question did seem a bit redundant.

When she raised her head, she saw Feng Lanhua swaying away.

Duan Qiuping didn't make up her mind, even the autumn wind couldn't lift her steps, her steps were not as heavy as falling leaves, but as heavy as mountains.

Xu is the voice of her and Feng Lanhua Fang Cai alarmed the second elder in the small courtyard, Duan Qiuping heard the familiar footsteps, and when the small door was opened, it was the weathered face of his father in front of him.

Duan Qiuping suddenly burst into tears, and the bitterness and grievances in her stomach turned into a trembling choking voice at this moment, "Dad-"

Hearing this moving call, Duan Wen, who was not yet dizzy, also felt that his vision was blurred.

He hurriedly beckoned Duan Qiuping in, and when he saw Li Xiangqin on her back, his chest tightened, "Xiangqin, what's wrong?" ”

"Dad, please save Parsley!" Duan Qiuping did not hesitate to endure the humiliation and turned back to Li Laosan's house halfway, and one of the reasons why she decided to leave with the seriously ill Li Xiangqin was precisely because she knew that her father Duan Wenyuan was a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner.

Dou Shi in the house heard the movement, put down the needlework and went to find out, she felt that she heard her daughter Qiuping's voice, so she sent Duan Wen to take a look outside the door.

Sure enough, it was really my daughter who came to her parents' house!

Seeing that his daughter was so depressed, and the granddaughter's situation was even more unoptimistic, Dou's joy disappeared in an instant.

Duan Wen touched Li Xiangqin's pulse, probed her faint snort, and shouted to Duan Qiuping in panic: "Hurry, send it to the clinic in Nantou!"

Duan Qiuping didn't have time to take a breath, and under the guidance of Duan Wen, she carried Li Xiangqin to the newly opened clinic in Nantou.
