Shayu and the surrounding villages have encountered a serious drought, the crops are almost no crops, and Dahu's business has also been seriously impacted, you think, you can't even eat enough to eat, how can you be rich in making furniture, Dahu after greeting his parents, left home to the county to solicit business, Dahu has been to the county seat since the last time for Li Yongtai's case, this is the second time, although the change is not big, but it is still very unfamiliar, Dahu walks back and forth on the streets of the county, waiting for someone to hire him to do wood work.

After wandering around for a whole morning, Dahu didn't find anyone who hired him to do carpentry work.
The big tiger was tired, so he sat down in front of a shop selling cloth to rest for a while, who knows, as soon as the butt sat down, the guy from the cloth shop ran out of the store, to drive the big tiger away, the big tiger wondered, why can't he sit here to rest? The guy saw that Dahu was dressed as a countryman, so he told Dahu that he couldn't sit casually in front of the shop, which would affect his family's business, so he asked Dahu to pack up his things and walk away quickly.
Dahu then understood that it turned out that no one was allowed to sit in front of the shops in the county seat, if there were not so many rules in Shayu Village, he could sit wherever he wanted, so Dahu had to pack up his toolbox and get up and leave.
Dahu didn't know where to go next, he entered a grocery market, at this time, he felt hungry, wanted to eat, with the lesson of the cloth shop guys, Dahu found a place without a face to sit down, thinking that this will not affect people's business, can rest steadily.
The big tiger took out the nest head from home from the toolbox, and as soon as the nest head took a bite, he saw several people walking and staggering at him, and he mistakenly thought that he was beckoning him to work, so he stood up, and one of the tiger-backed people opened his mouth and asked him for 'land payment'.
The big tiger told them that he was not setting up a stall at all, just resting here, but people said that the big tiger said that the rest was purely an excuse, the purpose was to avoid payment, and another big man saw that the big tiger was slow to take the money, and he picked up the big tiger's toolbox to confiscate it, without the toolbox, it was equivalent to cutting off the big tiger's way of life, and in desperation, the big tiger had to pay the so-called 'land apportionment fee', and those few people were willing to give up.
Worked hard to come to the county, didn't find the work and took the 'land fee' in vain, Dahu's heart didn't mention the fire, it seems that this county is not where he should come, he decided to go home, he walked out of the grocery market with a toolbox on his back.
When he walked forward dejectedly with the toolbox on his back, he saw a mother and son waving to him on the side of the road, and the big tiger ran over, and the child's mother said to the big tiger that her family had opened a new door room, and she needed to make a few shelves and two cabinets.
As soon as he entered the house, Dahu found that there were only two of them in the house, he asked about the child's father's situation, and the child's mother did not answer Dahu's words, but brought Dahu to the door, arranged the size and dimensions of the shelves to be made, and pointed to the wood in the yard and said to Dahu, if it was not enough, she would find another way.
The big tiger took off his coat and began to dry, during which the little boy gathered around the big tiger to pick up sawed off small wooden pieces to play, and the woman was busy with housework, and in the evening, the woman brought the prepared meal to the table, and also scalded a pot of wine for the big tiger, the big tiger said that he couldn't drink, the woman poured a glass and drank it, and after the woman drank a few glasses of wine, she began to introduce him to her family.
Dahu was originally just out of concern, to ask about the situation of the woman's family, as a hired worker, he still doesn't want to know more about the situation of the woman's family, after all, he is just a passerby, he knows more, but it is more difficult to get along, it may be because the woman has drunk, whether the big tiger is willing to listen or not, the woman still tells him about her experience, out of politeness, he has to listen patiently.
The woman said that her name is Wang Shuhuan, she is in her early Chinese New Year's Eve, and ten years ago she was introduced to a man twenty years older than her, and the man had a previous marriage, and for some reason the woman left later, leaving no man and half woman.
Wang Shuhuan's parents fell in love with the man living in the county, and there were no children around him, and in the future, the daughter would give birth to a child for the man, and the man's property was not all theirs, and the parents agreed to this family affair for their daughter, in the eyes of the parents, as long as they can get out of the mountains, it is not a problem for the man to be 20 years older.
At this time, Wang Shuhuan already has a suitable candidate in her heart, this boy is from their village, called Hanzi, the person has the same name as him, sincere, honest, and good to Wang Shuhuan, Wang Shuhuan did not tell her parents about her and Hanzi's object, because her parents were bent on letting her marry outside, she was afraid that if she told her parents, her parents would break them up.
Wang Shuhuan and Hanzi went home after dating, and the mother couldn't wait to tell her daughter that the matchmaker finally found a good family for her in the county, the man has a house, and the person is very good, but she is a little older, Wang Shuhuan told her mother that she would not marry that person, and the mother thought that her daughter thought that the man was old, and began to persuade her daughter, what man knows how old he hurts, and what has feelings, he doesn't care about age, although his mother praises a man like a flower, but Wang Shuhuan is three words, disagree.
At night, Wang Shuhuan sneaked out of the house, she asked Hanzi out of Hanzi's door, she told Hanzi about her mother introducing her to a man, Hanzi hugged Wang Shuhuan and said, we will get married tomorrow, raw rice is cooked into cooked rice, see how your mother still marries you to that man, Wang Shuhuan said, that must make her parents angry to death, no matter what, she doesn't want to see her parents hurt, Hanzi has no better way for a while.
Hanzi returned home, pondering and pondering, he was going to Wang Shuhuan's house tomorrow to propose, he wanted to take a step forward and let Wang Shuhuan's parents agree to marry their daughter to him.
The next day, Hanzi came to Wang Shuhuan's house with a gift, just the whole family was there, the mother saw Hanzi suddenly come home with a gift, so she guessed that eight or nine are not far from ten, Hanzi put the gift on the table, and asked Wang Shuhuan's parents to marry their daughter, Hanzi's behavior made Wang Shuhuan very surprised, because when the two met yesterday, Hanzi did not tell her that she was going to propose marriage today, she was not prepared at all, and her parents heard that he wanted to marry his daughter, so they unceremoniously said to Hanzi that their daughter already had a master, Don't bother with him, let's take the gift away.
Hanzi said to Wang Shuhuan's parents that he has liked Wang Shuhuan for a long time, and the two of them have been together for a long time, even if the parents do not agree, they will not separate, this is like the twist of a firecracker being lit, Wang Shuhuan's mother grabbed her daughter's hair, and it was a random beating to cover her face, Hanzi stepped forward to pull it away, but was pushed away by Wang Shuhuan's father, and he said to Hanzi that they were disciplining their daughters, and outsiders could not interfere.
That's what he said, but how could Hanzi watch his beloved woman being beaten, he stepped forward again to push Wang Shuhuan's mother away and pulled Wang Shuhuan out, Wang Shuhuan's parents chased after him while beckoning relatives with the same surname to help, now it's okay, originally Wang Shuhuan and Hanzi didn't have a public relationship, all of them were known by the people in the village, Hanzi pulled Wang Shuhuan and ran back to his home, Wang Shuhuan's parents and relatives with the same surname also felt Hanzi's family, Hanzi tied the door from the inside, Wang Shuhuan's parents and relatives smashed the door with sticks and stones.
The sound of slamming the door alarmed Hanzi's relatives with the same surname, although they didn't know what was going on, but they knew that the people surnamed Wang had bullied Hanzi, and they also came to help Hanzi with wooden sticks and forks, and the two families and two camps began to confront each other, seeing that a fight was about to take place, Wang Shuhuan in the house said to Hanzi, can't because of the two of us, both families will participate in the fight, no matter which family wins, both of them are sinners.
Wang Shuhuan broke free, she opened the door, and when her parents saw Wang Shuhuan coming out, they stepped forward and dragged their daughter home, and relatives with the same surname saw that Wang Shuhuan followed her parents, and they all followed home with the guy.
An unworthy scuffle was finally averted.
Wang Shuhuan returned home, her parents forced her to immediately agree to marry a man from the county, otherwise, they continued to go to Hanzi's house to make trouble, Wang Shuhuan was afraid, she was not afraid of her parents' endless trouble, but afraid that both families would be involved, the consequences would be uncontrollable, after a night of thinking, Wang Shuhuan finally compromised, she agreed to her parents.
The night before leaving, Wang Shuhuan begged her parents to let her meet Hanzi before leaving, and the mother agreed to her daughter, but the premise was that she would accompany her, of course the mother had her thoughts, okay, if the daughter impulsively gave the first night to Hanzi, how should the daughter live in a man.
Accompanied by his mother, Wang Shuhuan and Hanzi met, after meeting, Hanzi hugged Wang Shuhuan tightly and refused to let go, the two of them reluctantly said what was in their hearts, the mother was impatient, and tried to separate the two people several times, and finally Wang Shuhuan took the initiative to push Hanzi away, she said to Hanzi, from now on, I forgot, marry a good girl.
Accompanied by her parents and matchmaker, Wang Shuhuan came to the county seat and met a good man in the eyes of her parents and matchmaker.
At first glance, Wang Shuhuan was cold from head to toe, the reason is not only that this man is twenty years older than her, this man looks quite dark, it is estimated that if he is placed in the coal pile, you can't really see which one is him and which one is coal if you don't identify it carefully, black is okay, but his face is still pitted, Wang Shuhuan doesn't dare to look at the man carefully, and the parents and matchmaker are still praising the man one by one, Wang Shuhuan really wants to say loudly, 'You are talking nonsense with your eyes open'.
After meeting, Wang Shuhuan said to her parents and matchmaker that she would be sick to her stomach when she built this man, but she still didn't agree to follow this man, but her mother persuaded her daughter, it's good for a man to get used to it, and she and your father are also inseparable after getting along slowly, Wang Shuhuan knows her mother's personality, her mouth can bring the dead to life, and she is a person who will not stop until she reaches her goal.
After meeting and eating, Wang Shuhuan's parents and matchmaker were leaving, and Wang Shuhuan was also clamoring to go with his parents, but the man said that he had a helper at home in the past two days and needed someone to cook, he wanted Wang Shuhuan to stay, and his parents agreed on the spot, which made Wang Shuhuan's heart cold, she didn't know, it turned out that her parents were so anxious to marry herself, and she was ruthless, so she agreed to the man to stay.
Wang Shuhuan's parents are still worried that after their daughter goes back, she will be good with Hanzi, and they are determined to block their daughter's back road.
Wang Shuhuan stayed, and at night, the man asked to sleep with her, Wang Shuhuan refused, she said that after all, the ceremony had not been held, and she would talk about it after the banquet, but the man told her something that made her even more chilling.
The man told Wang Shuhuan that her parents had accepted the dowry and agreed to have sex with them, and the man also said that the money he gave Wang Shuhuan's parents was enough to build a few rooms, and now Wang Shuhuan was really stupid, doesn't this mean that she sold her without her knowledge, what else can she do, accept her fate.
Wang Shuhuan had to give her first night to this man who made her sick to her stomach.
The man's physiology is a little problematic, he lay on Wang Shuhuan's body and tossed for a long time, always unsuccessful, so, the man got up and took out a bottle of liquor from the cabinet, and drank a small half bottle as soon as he raised his neck, and the man who drank the wine lay on Wang Shuhuan's body again, as if he still couldn't succeed, the anxious man pinched Wang Shuhuan's neck hard, Wang Shuhuan almost suffocated, she couldn't bear it and tried to push the man away, not only did not push, but caused the man's dissatisfaction.
The man pinched Wang Shuhuan's body with his hand, Wang Shuhuan didn't dare to scream, for fear of attracting the jokes of the neighbors, so he had to grit his teeth and endure it.
Tossing until dawn, the man lay down for a while, got up and went out to work.
Wang Shuhuan is alone at home, thinking that the future days are to be spent like this, she is desperate, she thinks of the thoughtful and considerate son of her, tears are like beads with broken threads, she wants to go back to her parents' home, but there is fear, she has expected how her parents will treat her, she also thought of running away, but she just walked out of the mountains, the outside world is full of strangeness, full of fear, she enlightened herself again, although there are people she doesn't like here, but not to sleep in the open, it is a home.
Wang Shuhuan thinks that his fate should be like this, so it is better to be better with the man in front of him, so that the future life will be better.
In the evening, Wang Shuhuan made a table of meals for the man, and also scalded a pot of wine for the man, although the man did not say a word of thanks, but it could be seen that he was more satisfied, the man also poured a cup for Wang Shuhuan, and the two of them drank wine and ate silently, and basically did not talk.
When it was time to sleep, the man stripped off Wang Shuhuan's clothes and let her lie naked on the kang, without covering the quilt, so cold that she shivered all over, the man looked at her shivering body, kept swallowing saliva, she was really cold, and dragged a quilt to cover it, but it was uncovered by the man.
After admiring Wang Shuhuan's body, the man picked up the remaining half bottle of wine he had just drunk and sprinkled it on Wang Shuhuan's body, Wang Shuhuan didn't know what the man was doing with wine on her, she lay on the kang stupidly with her eyes closed, the man leaned down and added wine to her body, the wine was gone, and the man continued to sprinkle it on her body, several times later, the man hugged her into the quilt, and the sex did not go well, the more so, the man couldn't stop, poor Wang Shuhuan was tossed by the man and caught a cold.
Not only that, in the days to come, the man always wants to show his man's skills on Wang Shuhuan, but he has tried and failed, and has been defeated repeatedly, of course, it is Wang Shuhuan who suffers, and she can't stand her husband's toss and runs back to her parents' house, and she is difficult to talk about what her husband did to her, and she didn't stay at her parents' house for two days, the man came to his mother's house with a big bag and said that he was visiting his father-in-law and mother-in-law, but he actually took Wang Shuhuan home, thinking of the husband who didn't let her sleep all night, Wang Shuhuan really didn't want to go back, But her mother persuaded her to go home with her husband to live a good life, and Wang Shuhuan had no choice but to follow her husband home.
The husband is still like that, Wang Shuhuan began to think, the man's first wife, will it be because of excessive ravaging and say goodbye, if the situation is really like that, she just jumped into the fire pit that she can't escape, she has tried to know more about her husband, to see if his body is different from other men, is some kind of pathological reaction, but the man doesn't give her a chance at all, and still goes her own way.
For this reason, Wang Shuhuan thought of a way, she told her husband that she wanted a child, her husband was like a mirror in his heart, he didn't have that ability, but he didn't dare to explain, Wang Shuhuan said that before having a child, her body needed to be conditioned, and she wanted to find a Chinese medicine doctor to take some Chinese medicine, her husband agreed to her request, Wang Shuhuan wanted Chinese medicine to prescribe some Chinese medicine to her husband to treat his disease, she took it back and boiled it and put it in the soup made for her husband, so that her husband could drink it, ostensibly to take medicine by herself, but in fact, to treat her husband's illness.
After a few months, her husband's condition really improved, he tossed Wang Shuhuan for a night to half a night, and then basically didn't toss much, and after a few months, Wang Shuhuan became pregnant, when Wang Shuhuan told her husband the news of pregnancy, her husband dragged her over and beat her violently.
You said that Wang Shuhuan was wronged this time, it turned out that her husband's first daughter-in-law was because of his infertility disease, coupled with his constant tossing of others, people left him, and the departure of the first daughter-in-law made this man's self-esteem hurt greatly, he just thought that he was incapable and would not have his own children in this life, so when Wang Shuhuan told him the news of pregnancy, he immediately suspected that this child was definitely not his.
Wang Shuhuan confessed to her husband about putting medicine in the soup, her husband didn't believe it, and asked her every day who the wild man who made her pregnant was, Wang Shuhuan's explanation was to no avail, the man locked Wang Shuhuan at home, and she was not allowed to take half a step out of the house, which made Wang Shuhuan difficult to accept, from then on, the man said that she was dirty, and no longer had sex with her, Wang Shuhuan had tears and had to swallow it in her stomach, she longed for the child in her belly to be born soon, and imagined that her husband might disappear when he saw the child.
Wang Shuhuan thought wrong, she made a mistake that a woman is easy to make, men are different from women, and the things that women recognize can be objectively alleviated, but men are different, once he identifies the established facts in his heart, it is difficult for eight horses to pull his thoughts back, Wang Shuhuan's husband is such a person.
Wang Shuhuan prayed for the birth of the child, is a son, from the midwife to the birth of the son into this world, it is doomed to the son's misfortune, listening to the son's croaking cry, the husband showed great indifference, his eyes did not spend a minute on the child, even the daughter-in-law is the same, I don't want to look at it, if it is not for the presence of outsiders, it is estimated that he will not stay in the house.
The son has grown up to three years old, and he can speak simple language, but he doesn't dare to call 'Dad', because in the child's cognition, he has no father, and his father has never looked at him with the right eyes, and has never hugged him once, I remember that once my son was sick, Wang Shuhuan discussed with her husband to find a Chinese medicine doctor, and her husband looked impatient, and threw out a sentence 'It's none of my business, who should I find and who to go', since then, Wang Shuhuan is completely disappointed in her husband, but she simply didn't tell her husband about everything about the child, and it saved a lot of trouble.
When his son was seven years old, her husband was seriously ill, and Wang Shuhuan still looked at the husband and wife for many years and the child's father, and sought medical treatment for him, but in the end, because there was no way to return to heaven, her husband died, and when he was dying, he was still asking Wang Shuhuan, which is the father of this son.
In order to support her son and her future life, Wang Shuhuan wanted to use two of them as a door room and do some small business, so she took her son to hire a carpenter outside, and met the big tiger.
Dahu patiently listened to Wang Shuhuan's story, comforted her and said that her son is getting older, and there will always be a time when the hard days will come to an end, and this meal was hastily eaten in Wang Shuhuan's memories.
After eating, Wang Shuhuan took Dahu to the house she had already cleaned up, this room is next door to Wang Shuhuan's mother and son, Dahu entered the house and took a look and found that Wang Shuhuan moved his new quilt and new mattress to his house, he said to Wang Shuhuan that he was a hired worker, there was no need to take care of him so thoughtfully, the new quilt was still left for the child, Wang Shuhuan did not reply, and walked out of the house after the kang was laid.
After working for more than half a month, Dahu made the shelves and cabinets that Wang Shuhuan needed, he proposed to Wang Shuhuan that he wanted to settle the bill and leave, but Wang Shuhuan asked Dahu, where to go next, Dahu said that he would go outside to find work, Wang Shuhuan told Dahu that if he didn't see outside, he would stay in her home temporarily, and she would not charge Dahu room fees, but when the commissary was busy, he needed his help, and when he was not busy, he could still do wood work nearby.
Dahu also felt that Wang Shuhuan's words made some sense, he couldn't make money when he went home, and he could earn some cash by staying here, after all, there were two families who needed to support themselves, and Dahu agreed to Wang Shuhuan's request.
In the following days, Dahu lived in Wang Shuhuan's house, usually outside to do woodwork, whenever he had time, he helped Wang Shuhuan look at the shop, and sometimes took his son to play, life seemed peaceful, but there was another hidden secret behind this, but he didn't notice it.
In order to get along with Wang Shuhuan in this family, Dahu called Wang Shuhuan's sister-in-law, Wang Shuhuan also agreed at first, but later at a meal, after Wang Shuhuan drank a few glasses of wine, he said that he should call her Shuhuan, always called her sister-in-law and sister-in-law, not to mention that she was called old, her son was originally called Uncle Dahu, but Wang Shuhuan was stunned to let her son change his name to Dahu godfather, for this reason, Dahu solemnly expressed his attitude to her when Wang Shuhuan was not drinking, and the sister-in-law's name would not change. The title of uncle can't be changed, otherwise he will move out of the house.
Dahu's attitude made Wang Shuhuan a little afraid, and she was worried that Dahu would move out of the house.
In Wang Shuhuan's heart, from the first day Dahu arrived home, she was ready to train him to be her own man and the father of the child, the reason why she revealed her experience when she had dinner with Dahu for the first time, she regarded Dahu as someone who could talk to her, and at the same time tested Dahu's reaction, when she saw Dahu patiently listening to her story, she decided in her heart that this man should be the man she was looking for.
And Dahu has no idea about this, even if Wang Shuhuan is not a dead husband now, a mother with a child, that is, a girl who has not yet married, Dahu will not be moved, because in Dahu's view, love is not clear, if you look at it, you will fall in love with it, and if you don't look at it, you can't look at it after all, and this has little to do with Wang Shuhuan's good or bad.
At night, after the big tiger plugged in the door, got into the bed, estimated to a light sleep state, at this time, Wang Shuhuan began to knock on the door of the big tiger's house, the big tiger did not open the door, but asked his sister-in-law what was the matter, Wang Shuhuan said that his son had a fever, and asked him to get up to help find Langzhong, the big tiger heard that the child was sick, and quickly put on his clothes and opened the door, who knew that the door was opened, Wang Shuhuan did not take the big tiger to his room to see the child, but entered the big tiger's house.
After entering the door, Wang Shuhuan threw herself into Dahu's arms, Dahu quickly pushed her away, and told her seriously that he would always treat her as a sister-in-law, if she couldn't recognize this, he would pack up his things and leave now, Wang Shuhuan ran back to his house crying.
After this incident, Dahu and Wang Shuhuan proposed again that they wanted to move out of this house, Wang Shuhuan wanted to kneel down for Dahu, she admitted that she drank alcohol that day and made an outrageous move, she assured Dahu that from now on, she would quit drinking and treat Dahu as the best brother, and she would never have the irrational behavior of that day again.
Dahu saw that Wang Shuhuan's attitude was very pertinent, and he decided to give her another chance, but Dahu also thought about it, and he would definitely move out if he found a fixed errand outside in the future.
One day when he came home from work, Dahu saw that Wang Shuhuan's son was bullied by several children on the street, he walked over and pulled up the child to go home, at this time one of the little boys said to Wang Shuhuan's son, 'You are a wild seed', and the other children also followed the coaxing of the seedlings, 'Wild seed has no father, wild seed has no father', Wang Shuhuan's son cried.
The big tiger stopped the child who took the lead in shouting, maybe the big tiger's voice was a little louder, and it alarmed the mother who took the lead in shouting the child who lived nearby, and as soon as the child's mother came out, she didn't ask about 3721, and said that the big tiger bullied his son, and also called out the neighbors.
The neighbors also have reasonable and unreasonable, and the unreasonable listened to the bewitchment of the boy's mother, and stood up to accuse the big tiger, the big tiger didn't want to argue, what a big deal, but once the woman quarrels with you, she has to say that she is ugly, and the big tiger pulled Wang Shuhuan's son to leave, and the boy's mother just didn't let the big tiger and the child go, and said that she didn't know that she wanted to leave.
The noise alarmed Wang Shuhuan, who was selling goods in the commissary, she closed the door of the commissary and came to the street, and saw Dahu and her son surrounded by neighbors, she hurriedly stepped forward to explain to the noisy boy's mother, and saw Wang Shuhuan's boy's mother What the boy's mother said was ugly:
"I cuckolded the old man a few years after marrying the old man, and I can't tell who my son is, and you can't be idle when the old man dies, where did you get such a man, and we all feel ashamed to be a neighbor with someone like you."
"Can you scold me or not, he's a good man." Wang Shuhuan argued.
"Good guys? The good guy is still scaring my child, I think he is your man, otherwise why would he come out to stand in the way of your son? The boy's mother was still babbling.
"I made amends for you on behalf of my son, and I will teach my son a good lesson when I go back, I can't help you." Wang Shuhuan vigorously apologized to the boy's mother.
"You don't have to make amends to her so lowly, if you want me to say that her son was the first to insult, what should be atonement is that she is not you." The big tiger couldn't bear it anymore and opened his mouth.
"Look at that, she said that she wasn't her man, but she actually protected her." The boy's mother shouted again.
There were more and more onlookers, and the street that was not wide was crowded with people watching the excitement, and the noise here also alarmed the patrolling police, who came over with whistles, and they asked the reason for it, and after each beating fifty boards, the crowd was evacuated.
Dahu and Wang Shuhuan's mother and son returned home, Wang Shuhuan made great efforts to compensate Dahu, she said:
"Brother, I didn't expect to involve you, I'm really sorry."
"That's okay, I can't figure out why you didn't fight them? Allowing the child's mother to say such ugly things? ”
"From the day I married the child's father, the neighbors have an opinion of me, they said that I can marry a person who is 20 years older than me and has no ability, it must be that I was inappropriate when I was a girl, and no one wanted to marry him, and when I had a child, the child's father did not admit that the child was his, and the neighbors even said, I am a person from the mountains, there is no acquaintance here, after the child's father dies, I have no one left, they are also bullying foreigners, I can't fight them alone, I have to endure it."
"I am your brother, if they dare to bully you again in the future, you tell me, I will stand up for you." Big Tiger said.
"Uncle, you have to stand up for me, they always intercept me halfway, either beating me or scolding me." Wang Shuhuan's son said.
"Don't worry, Uncle won't let them bully you." The big tiger patted the child's head and said.
After dinner and returned to the house, Dahu always felt that he was holding his breath and didn't let it out, he was thinking, what did Wang Shuhuan and his son do wrong, they were actually treated like this by the neighbors, don't they know how tragic the fate of this two women is? Wang Shuhuan was pregnant with her husband's child, but her husband did not recognize it, and her son was born but did not enjoy a day of fatherly love, such a mother and son should win the sympathy of well-wishers, instead of sprinkling salt on the wound, Dahu thought that it was because of the herd psychology of the neighbors, and it was determined from the beginning that Wang Shuhuan married a man in his twenties, it must be Wang Shuhuan's character problems, and one person stood up and said, there were more than a dozen or twenty people who followed, and in the end it became a fact.
That's it' The terrible thing is that no one wants to trace back to the source, no one wants to be innocent for you, even if you choose to die because you can't stand the wrongdoing, they will say that you have done something immoral, and you have no face to live in this world, people, sometimes it is really troublesome, Dahu's mood is extremely low, but soon he warned himself that people always have to experience all kinds of things in the world, there are good and bad, but no matter good or bad, you have to move forward, maybe after a few years, this bad feeling will become a wealth, a successful wealth。
Dahu temporarily gave up his plan to leave Wang Shuhuan's house, and he wanted to do his best to protect the poor mother and son.
Seeing that Dahu was alone all day long, Wang Shuhuan told Dahu that she wanted to give Dahu an object, and with the object to take care of Dahu, Dahu didn't have to work so hard, Dahu told Wang Shuhuan that he had no such plan, and what he was thinking about now was to make more money and take care of the two families, and he couldn't take care of anything else.
Since the fight and Wang Shuhuan made the words clear, Wang Shuhuan regarded Dahu as his own brother, and when it was cold in winter, she prepared cotton clothes for him for the winter, and Dahu also regarded Wang Shuhuan as a family member, and the two of them got along without restraint, and when they were free, Dahu also handed over to Wang Shuhuan's son to read.
Dahu has been at Wang Shuhuan's house for a few months, plus the money he earns from working outside, he made a rough calculation, in addition to the subsidy for the two families, there is a balance, and Dahu is ready to save the surplus for later use.
On this day, Dahu was teaching Wang Shuhuan's son to write in the yard, and saw a man about forty years old enter the yard, when Dahu stood up and asked who it was, the forty-year-old man said that he was looking for Wang Shuhuan, Dahu asked Wang Shuhuan's son to go to the door to call his mother, when Wang Shuhuan entered the courtyard and saw this man, he was so frightened that he couldn't speak, Dahu looked wrong, he asked Wang Shuhuan to tell the truth, and the man took the words and said to him:
"Brother, you may not know, I am Wang Shuhuan's fiancé."
"Fiancé? Sister-in-law, what the hell is going on? The big tiger was simply surprised.
"Brother, I have to say this, his husband is sick, and all the money in the family has been spent, in order to treat his husband, Wang Shuhuan ran to me to borrow usury, that's what he said at the time, if he doesn't pay the loan shark after three years, Wang Shuhuan will marry me as a child, if he pays it back, this matter will never be mentioned again, and now three years have passed, she hasn't even paid back the principal, and I have to bring it up again."
"Let me ask you, what are you going to do if Wang Shuhuan can't pay off the loan shark and doesn't want to be your little one?" The big tiger asked the man's bottom line.
"Then it's good to say, I will collect their house and yard and convert it into cash, and return the excess to her, and if it is not enough, I will admit it, who will let them orphan and widow." The man seems to be kind enough to show the bottom line.
"Okay, you can let them and their mothers sum it up, and give you an answer when it's done." The big tiger told the man.
At this time, Wang Shuhuan had no idea, she pulled her son to stand in the middle of the yard stupidly, when Dahu answered the man on her behalf, I don't know if she heard clearly, Dahu persuaded Wang Shuhuan and the child into the house, Dahu asked Wang Shuhuan:
"Is what the man said the truth just now?"
Wang Shuhuan nodded in approval.
"And what are you going to do next?" Dahu wants to listen to Wang Shuhuan's true thoughts.
"Brother, you said that I am a woman's family and a half-sized child, what can I do." Wang Shuhuan said embarrassedly.
"Right now you don't have time to hesitate, either you make a compromise to marry that man, or you mortgage the house to him, and you leave this place with your son." Dahu pointed out two ways to Wang Shuhuan.
"Brother, let me tell you the truth, I just want to eat, I won't marry the man who gave the loan shark, and I agree to mortgage the house to him, even if the house is gone, where will I go with the children? What will we live on in the future? This is something I'm worried about, Brother Big Tiger, if you treat me as a relative, you can give your sister-in-law a real idea, as long as there is a place for our mother to eat and live. Wang Shuhuan begged the big tiger.
"You said that you just want to eat and not marry that man, I support, but you and the child's follow-up life, I have no good way, if I have savings in my hands now, I will definitely help your mother and mother through this difficulty, but I still have two families to support, I really can't come up with money to help you, or you mortgage the house, take your son back to your mother's house to live, the family can always help you." Big Tiger spoke his mind.
"My mother's house can't go back, now my parents live with my brother, the house and land at home are handed over to my brother to take care of, last time I took the child home to live for a few days, my sister-in-law and my parents found fault and fought, that means I eat my brother's for nothing, married and added a burden to my mother's family, my mother said to me with tears, in the future, my mother's family will still go back less, so as not to upset your brother and sister-in-law, brother, my mother's family I have no face to go back!" Wang Shuhuan's spirit almost collapsed.
"I mean, you still have to go back to your parents' house, maybe your family knows your current situation and changes their minds and is willing to help you, how can you know what they really think if you don't go back?" Big Tiger said.
"Okay, I'll go back tomorrow, you help me find my son at home, and I'll be back soon." Wang Shuhuan said.
On the way back to her parents' home, Wang Shuhuan's heart was extremely conflicted, she hoped that her family would accept her and help her get through the hurdle in front of her, she also naively thought that if Hanzi had not yet started a family, she would accept herself and her son when she saw her current situation, she knew that it was too extravagant.
Wang Shuhuan, who entered the house, saw that her parents were drying corn in the yard, and her parents saw that their daughter was back, she didn't have anything in her hand, and she looked a little depressed, so she directly asked her daughter what happened, Wang Shuhuan told her parents what happened at home, and asked her parents to provide her with a room, enough for her and her son to live, and before the parents could express their position, they saw their sister-in-law come in from outside and say:
"How can your parents have a house for you to live in, they all have to rely on me and your brother to support them now, and your aunt and grandmother who go out don't let your mother's family help you if you have something to do."
"Sister-in-law, just give me a room to live in, and I won't trouble you in life." Wang Shuhuan said.
"Since life won't cause us trouble, then don't mention the house." Sister-in-law said.
The parents watched their daughter and sister-in-law talking, and wanted to help their daughter who had no way out to say a few words, but they also needed their son and daughter-in-law to support their old age, and they couldn't afford to offend here, so they also chose to be silent.
Wang Shuhuan walked out of the house, saw Hanzi on the road, Hanzi saw Wang Shuhuan's nervous breakdown, and asked her with concern, just when Wang Shuyuan wanted to tell Hanzi about her situation like grasping a life-saving straw, a woman appeared next to Hanzi, Hanzi introduced that this is his daughter-in-law, in the face of Hanzi's daughter-in-law's happiness, Wang Shuhuan didn't want to say a word to Hanzi, it was useless to say it, seeing that it was superfluous to stand here, Wang Shuhuan staggered out of the village.
Wang Shuhuan who returned home, lying on the kang did not get up, in the evening, Wang Shuhuan's son found Uncle Dahu, saying that his mother was sick, Dahu went to the street to invite a Lang Zhong, Lang Zhong prescribed medicine, Da Hu gave Wang Shuhuan a decoction of medicine, seeing that Wang Shuhuan's condition had improved, Dahu had to give Wang Shuhuan an idea he did not want to say.
Dahu told Wang Shuhuan that for the sake of their mother's future life, he still suggested that Wang Shuhuan take his son to take a step forward, Wang Shuhuan listened to this idea, his head wanted to rattle and shook his head again and again, Wang Shuhuan told Dahu that the family is not rich at the moment, who is willing to accept a widow with a child into the house, it is too unrealistic, Dahu persuaded Wang Shuhuan If he does not take this step, he will let the loan shark come to collect the house in a few days, and the two of them will face sleeping on the street and drinking the northwest wind.
After thinking for a while, Wang Shuhuan expressed his willingness to listen to Dahu's opinion, but the usury man would not give them too long time, and it would not be so easy to find a man who was willing to accept them in a short time.
Wang Shuhuan understood that Dahu was going home to find a way for their mother, and she told Dahu that she would take her son and wait for Dahu to come back.
Dahu returned to his home in Shayu Village that night, as soon as he entered the door, Dahu asked his mother about the current situation of a deaf and dumb brother in his own family, and his mother told Dahu that the deaf brother was in a very difficult situation now, and his parents died one after another the year before last, leaving him alone and no one washed and no one washed him, and other people could go out to work for a long time or something, but he couldn't speak, and it was difficult to move an inch if he couldn't talk to people outside, and he only lived on the little land at home.
Dahu said that he wanted to introduce his deaf and dumb brother to Wang Shuhuan, who hired him to work, but Dahu told his mother that Wang Shuhuan had a ten-year-old son by his side, and his mother said that it was good to have a son, and he could also be a dumb helper, and his mother also told Dahu that the dumb man was very good and honest, and if Wang Shuhuan was willing to marry the mute, the life of the three of them would be very prosperous.
Dahu proposed to ask for the idea of the dumb brother, the mother and the big tiger arrived at the dumb house, the dumb family looked at the sight of no woman to take care of, the kang and the ground were full of all kinds of sundries, and the door had to be pulled with the feet, otherwise he couldn't go in, the big tiger even said with a gesture to the dumb brother that he wanted to find a daughter-in-law for him, as soon as he heard that the daughter-in-law mute brother was happy, the mother also gave the dumb brother a gesture, with a ten-year-old son, the dumb man was even happier, seeing that the dumb brother had negotiated here, the big tiger returned to Wang Shuhuan's house.
Entering Wang Shuhuan's house, Dahu felt that something was wrong, the yard was messed up, and the things in the store were also thrown in the yard, Wang Shuhuan sat in the yard crying with his son in his arms, and learned that the man who gave usury to Wang Shuhuan's house after Dahu left, gathered several big men to come to Wang Shuhuan's house, threw Wang Shuhuan's things into the yard, and warned Wang Shuhuan that the current house belongs to him, let Wang Shuhuan leave with his own things before the evening, otherwise you are welcome.
Dahu told Wang Shuhuan that he went home this time to find a partner for Wang Shuhuan, Dahu introduced the situation of the mute brother to Wang Shuhuan, Dahu asked Wang Shuhuan if he didn't mind that his brother was mute, Wang Shuhuan said to Dahu, as long as the person is good, don't say that you are dumb or have missing arms and legs, as long as you can accept their mothers.
Dahu and Wang Shuhuan packed the things at home, and took Wang Shuhuan and his wife to the dumb brother's house that day, Wang Shuhuan entered the dumb house and began to clean up, the dumb looked at Wang Shuhuan and his son happily closed their mouths, the dumb liked Wang Shuhuan's son, but the two couldn't communicate, the dumb gave a thumbs up, pointed at Wang Shuhuan for a while, and then pointed to Wang Shuhuan's son, Dahu's mother translated for Wang Shuhuan and his mother on the side, dumb means that both of them are satisfied, Wang Shuhuan listened and smiled.
Wang Shuhuan's laughter made Dahu's heart very uncomfortable, this poor woman, did not have a day of comfort, never got the man's sincere love, now the dumb brother gave him a thumbs up for the two of them, she was moved to laugh, behind this laughter recorded her bitterness, her helplessness and her tenacity, Dahu firmly believes that Wang Shuhuan and the mute brother will have a happy life.
In order for the two people to live together justifiably, Dahu discussed with his mother, invited the heads of the three major families, and let them witness the marriage ceremony of the dumb brother and Wang Shuhuan, several enthusiastic daughters-in-law in the village helped to decorate the dumb family, pasted the big red word, and borrowed the big red flower when Jin Changyuan got married, and hung it on the chest of the dumb man, Wang Shuhuan also put on a new dress, Dahu announced, the wedding began, the two of them bowed to the three principals, and bowed to each other, because there were no two families to participate, they simply entered the cave room.
Just as the two of them were about to enter the cave room, Wang Shuhuan's son shouted, 'Mom, I also want to enter the cave room', the son's words made the people present laugh, and the big tiger pulled Wang Shuhuan's son to his side and said, you have to sleep with your uncle today.
With the help of Dahu, Wang Shuhuan and her son settled in Shayu Village, the mute knows the cold and hot of Wang Shuhuan, Wang Shuhuan also loves the mute, Wang Shuhuan's son chases the dumb 'Dad, Dad', although the dumb can't hear the son's cry, but from the expression of the mother, the mute feels the warmth of the family, and sees the happy appearance of a family of three, Dahu is relieved to return to the county.
