Chapter 72: The Bitter Purple Juan
The reason why Akiyama's daughter-in-law beat her daughter is that no one dares to care, on the one hand, because she is a shrew, and secondly, because her son was crushed to death by her daughter, she was a little stimulated, and when she thought of her son, her heart hurt, and she complained to her daughter, if anyone stopped her, she would die or live.
Therefore, the neighbors didn't dare to cause trouble, so they could only stop because she was tired and had enough.
At this moment, Qinglian's move not only made Akiyama's daughter-in-law stunned, but everyone was stunned.
A kind-hearted neighbor woman also ran over, and she also grabbed Akiyama's daughter-in-law, and whispered: "His sister-in-law, don't beat the child, it's all the meat that fell from your body, wow, it hurts to bite any of the five fingers, and look at how pitiful the child is crying, listening to it in the middle of the night, how bad it is." ”
Akiyama's daughter-in-law's hand was temporarily pulled, but her mouth was panting and scolding, she pointed at Zijuan with a hideous face and said, "I still hurt her little bully, I still hurt her little hooves...... She crushed my son to death, I told her to watch her brother sleep, she crushed him to death, what kind of heart did she have, she ......"
"The child didn't mean it, wasn't the child too tired from working that night......" the neighbor woman carefully advised.
Qinglian took the opportunity to reach out to pull Zijuan who was kneeling on the ground, but as soon as her hand touched Zijuan's arm, she screamed "ah", and it turned out that her arms were swollen.
Through the cotton jacket, it is like this, which shows how much strength this Qiushan daughter-in-law has to beat her daughter.
"You dare to get up, you dare to get up!" Akiyama's daughter-in-law suddenly shook her arm that was being pulled by someone and yelled at Zijuan.
Zijuan was so frightened that she broke away from Qinglian's hand, knelt and didn't dare to move, but covered her face with both hands and sobbed.
She sobbed again, and her mother's anger was hooked out again, and she snatched the stick and beat her on the head and face, and scolded even harder, and the posture seemed to kill Zijuan before stopping.
Zijuan's life in the previous life is the same as Qinglian's life in the previous life, it is a tragedy with a capital letter.
Zijuan is the second daughter of the family, and she is the least favored, and she has done all the tiring and dirty work in the family since she was a child.
In fact, there is another reason why she is not favored, because Zijuan's father and mother are patriarchal, and after giving birth to the eldest sister Zijuan, she wants a son who looks forward to the stars and the moon.
At the time of giving birth to a purple cuckoo. After the midwife took out a son, she ran outside to report the good news to Zijuan's father despite cutting the umbilical cord, but Zijuan's father was overjoyed, and he finally looked forward to his son.
When the midwife said that there was another one, he was so happy that he had two of them at once......
How do you know that the midwife came out with blood again, and when Zijuan's father jumped up and down to see the two children he just had, the midwife said apologetically, not the two of them, he had another girl.
Zijuan's father, who already has a daughter, first realized that he drowned this "superfluous".
In this era, it is not uncommon to drown or bury the daughters born alive, and I don't know how many young souls were killed by their biological fathers or grandmothers as soon as they landed.
I don't know if they turned into ghosts and hovered around the murderer......
Zijuan is fateful, she was protected by her grandmother, and her grandmother said to her son: "Son, if you want me to say that our girl is blessed, she came with us, maybe the grandmother sent her to serve our son." Anyway, the girl is easy to support, and she will be able to work in a few years, so let's keep her as a dog......"
Sure enough, Zijuan was raised as a dog, obviously she was born with her brother one day, and she was born a little later to be a younger sister, but since she can walk, she has to take care of her brother, the "prince".
She feeds her brother, she washes her hands and faces for her brother, she is hungry when there is less food at home, she is frozen when there is not enough cotton clothes, and she looks at it when she has a delicious brother to eat...... So much so that when she was six years old, her sister could do anything, and his brother couldn't even eat by himself, let alone anything else.
It was also from this time that her father began to doubt her son's intelligence.
When it was determined that his son was mentally retarded, Zijuan's father vented his resentment on his daughter, saying that she had taken away the nutrients of her brother in her mother's womb, resulting in her brother's low intelligence......
Erdunzi at the east end of the village is two years older than Zijuan, and his family's land is next to Zijuan's land. For as long as he could remember, he had pitied this small, busy figure. Watching her and her brother go to the field with their family, and her brother playing in the field, she had to work like her parents and sisters, and she had to run to the field from time to time to take care of her brother.
If her brother suddenly gets somewhere or gets dirty, she will have to be punched and kicked by her father and scolded by her mother and sisters.
What's even more distressing is that she never cries when she is trained and scolded, just hanging her little shoulders like that, competing for a pair of big black eyes and letting her be beaten and scolded.
Erdunzi always thinks, why is Zijuan's father so bad to her? Other people's families are also a large group of children, and they have not suffered as much as Zijuan.
I don't know when Erdunzi began to care about her secretly, helping her carry back the big straw basket from the ground, and secretly giving her an egg or a few pieces of candy to eat.
In the summer, he likes to go to the ditch by the village with his friends to catch fish, and when he catches the fish, he will make a fire in the ground to roast and eat. If she happened to be not far away, he would secretly give her a few for her to eat quickly, and if she was not nearby, he would wrap them in leaves, and when he came home, he pretended to go to her house to play with her brother, and then he quietly called her outside, took out the fish for her, and watched her eat before running home.
One Chinese New Year's Eve, Purple Juan's father gave the children money for the New Year, gave their sisters two cents each, and gave their baby son 1 yuan. The children usually don't see money, and when they see it, they all run out to show off to each other.
Zijuan's sisters don't take their younger brothers to play when they are older, only Zijuan leads her brother out to play, I don't know if my brother's 1 yuan was played or stolen by which child, anyway, I played until late at night and came home, and my mother touched her son's 1 yuan and it was gone.
1 yuan is a month's salt money for the family, and they also made a show for their son, and the next day they took it back, and they actually lost it......
So, on that cold winter night, Zijuan was kicked and beaten by her father, yelled and cursed by her mother, shuttling back and forth in the dark village, shining a lantern on the ground, groping over and over again, looking for the 1 yuan.
Of course she couldn't find it, so her father tied her two thin arms with a rope, and hung her to the beam of the house to beat, her terrible cry startled the neighbors who were guarding the year in their respective homes out of the house, Erdunzi followed her mother to her house, heard the reason why she was beaten, he resolutely ran home, took out his 1 yuan New Year's money, and told Zijuan's father that he picked up the 1 yuan that Zijuan brother lost......
Zijuan, a girl who has tasted the warmth and coldness of the world since she was born, this girl who has been numb to her soul at a young age, is cold to everyone and everything is wooden, and she can only talk and laugh in front of Erdunzi.
Her brother, because of his mental retardation, was not accepted by the school when he reached school age, and it took another two years to allow him to enter the first grade, but he had to be accompanied. So, she went to school for two years as an accompaniment to her brother, learned addition and subtraction, learned a few simple Chinese characters, and recognized pinyin.
She was very studious, and since then she has been reading in the dictionary at home.
But after two years of schooling, her brother was persuaded by his teacher to quit, and his brother came back, and her school career was over.
Erdunzi really wanted her to go to school like him, but he couldn't do anything about it, so he could only come back from school and secretly teach her what he had learned, and the relationship between them became closer.
Later, they both grew up to be teenagers, and the intimacy between the two began to be criticized, so, under the mediation of an aunt in the alley, the two were naturally engaged.
thought that when Zijuan grew up and married into the Erdunzi family, the suffering would end, but who knew that her mentally handicapped brother fell into the river and drowned. Of course, Zijuan's father and mother were even more crazy and wanted to have another son, and after giving birth to Zijuan's two younger sisters, they finally got old and had a son.
But Zijuan Niang is old, and she gave birth to this old son who has a headache and back pain, and this old son is handed over to Zijuan again, except for when he is breastfeeding, the rest are taken by Zijuan, and Zijuan sleeps with him at night.
That's where tragedy began.
