It was the annual wheat harvest season, and that day Zijuan was busy in the field for a long time, as if he had fallen apart, and after urinating for his brother at night, he hugged him to sleep. It's also that she was too tired, and somehow her body pressed her brother, and the baby, who was only a few months old, struggled and couldn't move, so she was crushed to death.

In the face of her father's crying and grabbing the ground, Zijuan had the heart to kill herself, but she felt that she owed this family, and she had to live to atone for her sins. So, she not only endured her father's bullying without complaint, but also proposed to recruit a son-in-law for this family and serve her father and mother for the rest of her life. Erdunzi, who loved Zijuan deeply, became the son-in-law of Zijuan's family despite the opposition of his family. As a result, in the future, he and Zijuan endured the insults and abuses of the Akiyama family until they died.

In fact, Zijuan just lacks the spirit of resistance, if she is brave enough to go back in the face of her mother's complaints: "Did I crush my brother to death on purpose?" Supposedly, it wasn't you, who told you to put my brother to sleep in my arms? Why don't you sleep with your brother in your arms? ”

Or in another way, marry Erdunzi early and leave this family, does she still have the tragedy of that life?

She not only ruined herself, but also ruined Erdunzi's life.

Erdunzi is still Qinglian's cousin, and his mother and Wang Xiuli are cousins. He is honest and honest, attaches great importance to love and righteousness, there are no men in the Qinglian family, and the heavy work naturally falls behind others, and he often takes the initiative to help them after finishing his work. It's just that in the previous life, Qinglian was too busy to take care of herself, so how could she control others.

In this life, Qinglian wants to help Erdunzi. But Erdunzi has a deep love for Zijuan, so she has to try to make Zijuan "smart".

Seeing that Qiushan's daughter-in-law was crazy again, everyone didn't dare to persuade her, only Qinglian bravely went up and grabbed the burning stick in her hand, and shouted at her: "Aunt Qiushan, are you going to kill Sister Zijuan?" ”

Akiyama's daughter-in-law had messy hair at the moment, her eyeballs burst out, and she looked crazy, she screamed in the face of Qinglian's questioning: "Yes, I just want to kill her, she crushed my son to death, she is a dead star, she is an executioner......"

After that, he used brute force to retrieve the burning stick from Qinglian's hand, and Qinglian dragged it and didn't let go. Akiyama's daughter-in-law loudly scolded Qinglian for meddling.

Qinglian had an idea, and said loudly to Qiushan's daughter-in-law: "Auntie, it's not that I'm nosy, it's that I've heard enough of you beating and scolding Sister Zijuan, and I've heard enough of Sister Zijuan's crying, since you hate her for crushing your son to death, it's better to let her change her life for a life." Then your heart will be at ease, and the roots of our ears will be purified. ”

With that, he walked to the well of her house: there was a machete next to the well in her house. She picked up the machete and handed it to Akiyama's daughter-in-law, saying, "Here, aunt, my father borrowed this knife the day before yesterday to cut down the tree, it is very fast, it is like blowing hair and breaking hair, if you go down with a knife, she will die, it is simply neat." ”

This is not only Akiyama's daughter-in-law frightened, but everyone is stunned.

Although Akiyama's daughter-in-law is a shrew, but she is faint, she doesn't even dare to look at killing chickens, you actually handed her a machete and asked her to kill her daughter? She didn't dare, she didn't dare.

She involuntarily stepped back, but Qinglian aggressively chased after her and stuffed the knife into her hand, and said in her mouth, "Auntie, what's wrong with you, don't you want to cut Sister Zijuan with a thousand knives, why will this be cowardly again?" Hurry up, it's a rare opportunity, no one will hand you a knife next time. ”

Akiyama's daughter-in-law retreated with her mouth wide open, suddenly covered her face and ran back to the house with a scream of "wow".

Qinglian threw the knife, took the opportunity to pick up Zijuan with both hands, and whispered, "Go, follow me back to my house." ”

Zijuan still refused to go with Qinglian, and was half-dragged and half-hugged by Qinglian's stubbornness.

Before the banquet in the house was dispersed, Qinglian pulled her to the livestock house where her father lived.

Her hands were cold and trembling all over, Qinglian knew that she was cold and hungry, her father and mother punished her and often didn't let her eat, and even when she didn't punish her, she also ate the family's leftovers.

She was a twenty-year-old girl, and she wore ragged clothes, and she was wearing her sister's clothes from head to toe, but she was half a head taller than her sister, and her sister's old clothes were thin and small on her. Summer is ok and cool. But the winter was miserable: the worn cotton jacket had sleeves up to the wrists, hems to the waist, and cotton pants to expose the ankles. Before winter, his hands and feet were covered with frostbite, but he still had to wash the family's clothes.

What's even more cruel is that her mother did not allow her to wash her clothes in the warm water of the well at home, saying that there was nowhere to splash the water after washing her clothes, and let her go to the village puddle to wash them.

The water in the puddle was frozen, but she didn't dare to resist, and always waited until the sun was shining at noon, knocking open the ice and washing clothes in the biting water.

Qinglian didn't say anything, pressed her to a bench, went to the kitchen to scoop a bowl of hot cabbage stewed pork slices, and brought a white bun over.

handed it to her and said in a commanding tone: "Sister Zijuan, don't say anything, hurry up and eat, I'll light a fire for you to roast your hands." ”

After that, he picked up the brazier and went to the utility room to pick up the corn cob.

When she came back with a pot of corn cobs, Zijuan had already gobbled up most of the bowl of vegetables, and most of the steamed buns had been bitten off.

Qinglian pretended not to see it, squatted down and struck a match to light the fire.

She peeked at the bowl in her hand, and saw that she had drunk a large bowl of vegetables and soup, so she got up and took her bowl, ran back to the kitchen and scooped a bowl, and picked up the few pieces of meat left in the pot into the bowl.

The extremely hungry and greedy Zijuan couldn't care about being shy, took it and snorted and ate.

At this time, the fire was also lit, and the house slowly warmed up, and Zijuan, who had eaten two bowls of vegetables and a big steamed bun, was no longer cold and hungry, and her shame was born.

She thought that she actually ate two bowls of cabbage stew and one steamed bun in one go, and she was really ashamed. She held the empty bowl in both hands, rubbed her feet on the ground, and hummed in a voice like a mosquito: "Sister Qinglian, you see how useless I am...... I went to the kitchen and brushed the dishes, right? ”

As he spoke, he got up and walked out.

Qinglian grabbed her and said kindly: "Sister Zijuan, don't move, put down the bowl and chopsticks first, the wine field hasn't been dispersed yet, and we will clean up in a while, and the two sisters will talk." ”

As he spoke, he took her dishes and chopsticks and set them aside.

Zijuan obediently did not move, lowered her head and silently stretched out her hands full of frostbite, and put on the brazier to bake the fire.

Qinglian looked at the abscesses and bloody cracks on the back of her hands, distressed and disgusted. Although she has chilblain cream at home, it is also useless to apply it to her, and she still freezes every day when she washes and cooks with cold water.

Qinglian sighed in her heart, looked at her short sleeves of the padded jacket on her wrists, and asked reproachfully: "Sister Zijuan, you make all the cotton clothes of your family, can't you add another sleeve to your torn padded jacket sleeves?" Look at your hands that are frozen, and your wrists are all frostbitten. ”

Zijuan whispered, "How can there be so much cotton and cloth." ”

Qinglian smiled angrily: "My sister, they wear new ones that you wear in tattered, you can't use rags and cotton sleeves to put a little sleeve on yourself." ”

Zijuan shook his head and said, "Cloth and cotton are counted......

Qinglian was speechless.

She held her breath and asked her, "Sister Zijuan, why don't you resist if your father and mother treat you so badly......"

"My father and mother are not bad to me, but I have committed a big sin." She stopped Qinglian's words and said loudly.

Qinglian smiled bitterly and sighed in her heart: You just ruined your life because you couldn't turn around.

She whispered to persuade her: "Sister Zijuan, you crushed your brother to death because you caused a big disaster, but you did it unintentionally, you are more painful than anyone else." ”

These words came to Zijuan's heart: Yes, since her brother died, everyone in the family has complained about her, but who has ever understood her feelings, she is even more distressed and painful than her father......

Tears welled down her cheeks.

Qinglian grabbed her hand and comforted her: "Sister Zijuan, your brother has been serving you day and night since the full moon, you are not ashamed of him, that is his life, you have to see it." ”

Zijuan sobbed and said: "Sister Qinglian, how can I see it, I am a sinner in my family, I died a younger brother, my mother gave birth to a few younger sisters and finally gave birth to another younger brother, but I crushed him to death, my mother is old, and she can no longer give birth to a son, you say, my family is not all caused by me." ”

According to her idea, I owe this family a life, and I will use my life to atone for my sins.
