51 The Darkness in the Heart of the Gospel of Wei (II)

Da'an is more than 1,000 meters away from the nearest urban area, located in a remote area, water and electricity bills are calculated according to industrial water and electricity, Wei Gospel has three twenty-watt light bulbs in the kitchen and room at home, a second-hand color TV that has been used for more than ten years, and a radio bought in order to let them learn English, there are no decent electrical appliances at home, and the monthly electricity bill makes Li Yuehua frown.

Every time I go to the water room to fetch water, the water bill will rise, how much the water fee depends entirely on Zhang Wentao's preferences, a bucket of water opens for seven or eight yuan, most of the people here dare not be angry, while scolding Zhang Wentao for being black-hearted, such a bad person should be struck by lightning, but there have been countless thunderstorms, and none of them have been split on Zhang Wentao's body.

They had to go to the well dug in the backyard of Wei Gospel's house to fetch water, although the clothes washed out of the well water would have a layer of white powder on them after they dried, but fortunately, they fell off when they were patted, although the clothes washed in saltwater were not as soft as the clothes washed out in fresh water, but they had rough skin and thick flesh, so they didn't care about these.

Wei Gospel did not welcome people who came to her well to draw water, and when Wei Fuhai proposed to dig a well at the back of the house, they were all strongly opposed, and they expressed their opinions.

"You dig a well here, what if a child plops down and falls into it!"

Wei Fuhai had no choice but to dig a well in an overgrown place, the mosquitoes in the grass bit him all over the body, the mouth of the well was not big, Li Yuehua moved a heavy cement slate from the abandoned sewer as a manhole cover, and everyone calmed down.

The well was not dug deeply, Wei Gospel was particularly curious, last night it was clear that there was no water in the well, but early the next morning, the well was filled with a pool of clear spring water, she didn't understand where the water came from, so she lay on the side of the well and carefully observed for a long time.

"Take money to get people, take money to get people, but how can our family still have money."

Li Yuehua said to herself, she was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, with tears in the corners of her eyes, and said: "Your father always lends money to others, lends money to others to do business, those people have made a fortune, and now he has an accident, but no one is willing to come to the rescue."

"Mom, this is human nature, if it were me, I wouldn't help, the wall fell down and everyone pushed it, the trees fell and scattered, it has been like this since ancient times." Wei Gospel suppressed the anger in his heart and said calmly: "Mom, if our family has money, let's take it out to save my father."

Li Yuehua was stunned and shouted: "How can our family still have money!" Do you think I'm hiding my money to save your dad?" As she spoke, there was a feeling of suffocation in her chest, her body trembled, she glared at Wei Gospel angrily, and turned over her big hands back and forth, as if she wanted Wei Gospel to see clearly, her palms and backs were empty.

After a while, Li Yuehua shouted heartbreakingly: "Where can I get money, your father gave me all the money he earned, but the money was taken away by your father before it was warm in my hands, he lent the money to this and to that like a wealth boy, who will lend us money when it is time to use the money!"

"After so many years of marriage, I have never guarded against your father, I put the money and passbook behind the photo frame, who knows when your father will take out the money, and when I find out, it will be too late, I think there are four of you Your father should not mess around, who thinks he still sent the money back to his hometown, what is the use of me arguing."

Li Yuehua said that she was tired and couldn't care so much, so she patted the soil on the ground and sat down, wiped her nose and tears, and complained to Wei Gospel.

"Your dad just thinks I'm stupid, I keep lying to me because I can't settle accounts, although I can't do it, but I'm not stupid, your dad is not like other men who eat, drink, prostitute and gamble, your dad is too filial, he listens to what your grandfather says, your grandfather asked him to buy a daughter-in-law for your third uncle and fourth uncle, and he really went to Vietnam to buy a daughter-in-law for them."

Wei Gospel stood next to Li Yuehua, silent, she seemed to understand the intricate relationship between adults, and she understood one thing, their seemingly warm and stable little family had no foundation here, and it was stormy.

"Mom, what should I do with my dad?"

Li Yuehua sat and rested for a while, got up, stretched out her finger and pointed to a row of dark houses in front of her, and said, "Let's go, let's borrow money."

Wei Gospel looked in the direction of Li Yuehua's finger, and his heart sank.

The row of bungalows sat under the quiet night as usual, the silhouette was darker than the night, Wei Gospel took a breath of cool air, and followed behind Li Yuehua with great reluctance.

Standing in front of the cold big iron gate, Wei Fuxin clenched his fists, his nails were deeply sunk into the flesh, he didn't feel it during the day, and at night he looked at this bungalow looked particularly gloomy and weird, the pitch-black wall stretched for hundreds of meters from west to east, the eaves of the wall were covered with dense broken glass, flashing cold light in the night, and the dry branches of a winding creeper extended to the outside of the iron gate.

Li Yuehua stood outside the door and knocked lightly on the iron door, Wei Fuxin's mind was buzzing, and he ran away if he wanted to.

After a while, there was a "squeak", and the heavy iron gate was pushed open, and a terrible dog bark came from the courtyard, cutting through the dark sky.

Without waiting for Li Yuehua to speak, Wang Fengmei welcomed them in with a smile in her eyes, and Wei Fuxin raised her legs and walked into the dim courtyard without saying a word.

"Stop screaming."

Wang Fengmei yelled at a corner of the yard, the barking of the dog stopped immediately, and the rhubarb was lying in her nest with a chirping.

The dazzling light in the room made Wei Gospel unable to raise his head, and sat next to Li Yuehua sluggishly, listening to her sad story.

"Hey, what are you talking about?"

Wang Fengmei sat opposite them and said sympathetically.

Good things don't go out and bad things spread thousands of miles, and I guessed with my feet that Wei Fuhai was arrested by the police has long been spread in Da'an District, and it has become the talk of these people after dinner, Wei Gospel sneered in his heart.

"How's Old Wei?" Wang Fengmei asked with concern.

"I'm a woman, how can I ever encounter such a thing." Li Yuehua didn't know how many times she cried tonight, the corners of her mouth twitched slightly, "The person was arrested, and now I can't even see my face." ”

There was silence for a while, Wei Gospel didn't expect Li Yuehua to come to Wang Fengmei for help, and he didn't see any dealings between them, barely acquaintance, nodding friends, Li Yuehua did not have a high evaluation of Wang Fengmei's character, just two words: profiteer.

Maybe it was because she was desperate, Li Yuehua had the cheekiness to beg the person she had always looked down on, which showed that she really had no choice.

Wei Gospel sat on the sofa with a heavy heart, and cold sweat broke out in his palms.

"Mom, who's coming?"

Suddenly, a low magnetic inquiry voice floated out of the back room, which seemed abrupt and harsh, Wei Gospel was stunned, slowly raised his head, and looked in the direction where the voice came from.
