Chapter 96: The Road Meets a Poor Woman
Under the question, the woman said with a blank face, "I am a passerby." ”
Only then did Li Yifei realize that he had offended others, and the people who came to this hut first didn't provoke you, why did you yell at others? He whispered, "I'm sorry." ”
After that, he hugged Qinglian and walked back.
Qinglian spoke softly at this time: "Yifei, I'm awake, let me down." ”
Although she didn't want to leave his arms at all, he rode with her for more than 20 miles from the county seat, and how tired it was for him to hold him!
Only then did Li Yifei know that she was awake, so he gently put her on the ground, looked at her and asked with concern, "Did you startle you just now?" ”
Qinglian smiled and said, "It's okay." ”
She just wanted to say what the eldest sister was doing sitting in this hut in the cold, when she suddenly heard a noise behind her, and saw that it was five or six men riding in the distance riding a car and talking like this.
At this moment, the woman secretly hooked her head from the hut, and then she screamed like malaria.
Li Yifei had already stepped into the car again and hurried with Qinglian, and he was shocked to see her like this. Qinglian asked her, "Eldest sister, are you sick?" ”
The woman shrunk and shook into chaff, her eyes widened with fear, and her lips trembled, "They...... They're here to get me...... They're going to sell me...... I sneaked out ......"
Qinglian looked at her frightened look and felt a twitch in her heart, so she asked Li Yifei in a low voice: "Shall we help ......her?"
When those people walked to the hut, Li Yifei and Qinglian were sitting on the bed and talking about love. As soon as those people hooked their heads inward, Li Yifei yelled: "What are you looking at?" ”
A few people looked at the man and woman in it and understood, and a young man with a hippie smile joked: "Dude, you're quite good at finding a place." ”
Qinglian buried her head in Li Yifei's shoulder. The young man looked more excited, and just wanted to laugh again, a man behind him spoke: "We are looking for someone, have you seen a woman in her thirties passing by here?" ”
As soon as Li Yifei said no, Qinglian preemptively said: "Is it a woman who is dressed in tatters, but she is still good-looking?" ”
The eyes of those people lit up, staring at Qinglian's face and saying, "Yes, yes, did you see her?" Where did she go? ”
Qinglian casually pointed to the north and said, "I saw her going that way, she ran so fast, as if there was a dog chasing her behind, it is estimated that she will have to run out for five or six miles." ”
A trace of embarrassment flashed on the faces of those people, so they hurriedly said "thank you" to Qinglian, and chased frantically in the direction that Qinglian pointed.
"Hahaha, what a bunch of stupid dogs, tired of you." Qinglian clapped her hands and laughed.
It took a long time for the woman to calm down a little and speak clearly. It turned out that she was a peasant woman in a neighboring township, her man died this summer, and she felt sorry for her son and did not remarry. But she was taken by a rich man in the township, and that person was also a dead wife, so he had to marry her.
She knew that the man was ruthless, and it was said that his daughter-in-law was beaten to death by him, so she disagreed. But that person took the money to buy off her brother-in-law and in-laws, and they insisted on marrying her to that person, and they also set the date.
She planned to sneak out of her in-laws' house with her son at the right opportunity, but on this day, her 7-year-old son went to bathe in the ditch and drowned. The pain of losing her husband and child made her despair, so she hanged herself, but was saved by her mother-in-law's family, and she looked at her from then on.
Seeing that her wedding date with that person was approaching, she deliberately ran away, and finally ran out in the middle of the night the day before. But she was penniless, did not know where to run, and was afraid of seeing people, so she found this hut in the middle of the night, hid in it, and after eating the buns she had brought, she prepared to stay up until the night to go to the nearby village to ask for something to eat.
Hearing her tragic life experience, Qinglian couldn't help but think of her previous life...... asked her sympathetically: "Eldest sister, why don't you go back to your parents' house?" ”
The woman shook her head and said, "My mother's family doesn't have my father and mother, only my brother and sister-in-law, and they also agreed to my remarriage, and said that that the family is good, and I ran back to my mother's house last time and was sent to my mother-in-law's house by my mother's brother......"
Qinglian is angry, and there is such a maiden brother, it is really better than a beast! She asked again: "Then eldest sister, do you have any reliable relatives?" We can send you to a relative's house. ”
The woman shook her head, tears streaming back together.
Qinglian looked at Li Yifei worriedly, she couldn't bear to leave this poor woman behind. Even if she is not found by her in-laws, it will be even worse if she meets a bad person (there are many singles in this era).
Li Yifei spoke at this time: "Eldest sister, let's do it, you go with us first, and then find a way later." ”
Qinglian glanced at Li Yifei happily.
Yes, he is as kind as she is.
The woman looked up in surprise when she heard this, but there was a complicated expression in her eyes.
Qinglian could understand his feelings. His mother-in-law was so cruel to him, so what about strangers?
Qinglian and Li Yifei glanced at each other. Li Yifei told her frankly: "My name is Li Yifei, and I belong to Li Zhuang." Her name is He Qinglian, she is from Wang Xiangzhai, and we are all from Matou Township. The two of us got engaged today, went to the county to buy a bicycle, and met you when we came back, we just pity you, there is no other thought, you don't have to be afraid. ”
Qinglian comforted softly: "Eldest sister, although you are not ladylike when you meet people, but not all evil people in this world, you are very dangerous here, come back to the village with us first, and then we will slowly find a way." ”
The woman spoke, but what she said: "No, no, young man, little girl, I see that you two are good people, I am just afraid, if I go with you, what if my mother-in-law's family finds you in the future?" ”
I see.
Li Yifei snorted and said: "You can rest assured about this, if they dare to spread wild in my territory, I will let them regret spreading wild." ”
The woman's tears of emotion flowed down at once, she picked up her shabby burden and got out of bed, and said gratefully: "Little brother, little sister, you two are my great benefactors, and I will repay you in the future." ”
Qinglian gently stepped up her arm and said, "Eldest sister, don't say that, we met because we were destined, let's go, go to my house first." ”
Bicycles in this era had a bar in front, so Qinglian sat on the front bar, and the woman sat on the back seat. The three of them rode a bicycle to their home.
On the way, Qinglian learned that this woman's name is Sun Ershuang, she just turned 32 years old this year, she has a sister and an elder brother, and her sister is not far from married, but she can't do it in front of men, and she doesn't dare to take care of her affairs, so she can only sneak out and wander.
She said here and whimpered in despair: "Actually, it's not interesting for me to live, the man is gone, the son is gone, what am I still alive for......"
Qinglian persuaded her: "Eldest sister, you are only 32 years old, and you have a long way to go, but you can't think like that, people, you have to be brave in life, and you can't be a deserter in life." You will still have men and children in the future, and there will be hope as long as you live. ”
Sun Ershuang's eyes widened, the little girl is not big, what she said is really reasonable. But is there any hope for yourself...... But since others have saved themselves, they can no longer talk to others about death, otherwise they will be sorry for their kindness.
She wiped her tears and said, "Little girl, what you said is so right, thank you for persuading me, I won't think about finding a short time anymore." ”
Qinglian smiled and said: "That's right, Sister Ershuang, I feel good in my heart when you say this, I think life is very beautiful, as long as you are willing to work hard." ”
She said goodbye, blinked, and turned her head to look at Li Yifei.
Li Yifei took the two of them at once, Qinglian was tall and tall, and he was blocking his eyes when he sat in front of him, so he rode the car intently, and he didn't care about what the two women said one after the other.
Sun Ershuang looked at the young and beautiful pair of young men and women, and said enviously: "Yes, Miss Qinglian, you are in the happiest time." ”
Qinglian immediately retorted: "Sister Ershuang, what you said is not right, happiness knows no age, every age has its due happiness." ”
She thought beautifully: If she reached her age, she and Li Yifei would be old husbands and wives, and she didn't know what it would be like at that time.
When they arrived at the head of Wangxiangzhai Village, Li Yifei stopped the car, and Qinglian and Sun Ershuang came down, because it was very eye-catching to enter the village like this. And this new bicycle is their engagement, and it should be tied with a red cloth by Li Yifei's family and sent to Qinglian's house on the day of the engagement, so Li Yifei has to ride it back to his own house today.
