Chapter 7: Emotional Cards

Drunkard Jiang is a ghost who is afraid of death, and he laughs and plays the emotional card.

There was fierceness hidden in the depths of his eyes, and he thought that he would get out of danger first, and then destroy this little evil beast who dared to threaten him.

How could Jiang Cheng'er not know the vicious calculation in his heart, the corner of her lips hooked: "Drunk, I'll help you sober up." ”

She quickly picked up the stool on the ground and smashed it on the back of the drunkard's head, treating him in the same way.

Venus appeared in front of the drunkard Jiang's eyes, his body shook twice, and he fainted.

"Orange, you ...... him" Liu's heart was shocked.

"Don't worry, mother, I just knocked him out." Jiang Cheng'er's tone was relaxed.

"When he wakes up, he'll be miserable, and he will definitely beat you up." Liu Shi was worried, "No, you go to Xiao Cheng's house to hide." ”

"I'm not hiding, I'll just lock him up." Jiang Cheng'er thought for a moment, "Mother, where is the key to the cellar in the stove room?" ”

"Orange, what are you going to do?" Liu was shocked.

"First lock him up in the cellar for three days and quit drinking, mother, please go get the key, Peach, help me drag this dead pig to the cellar mouth, Ping'er, you go find a rope."

The three of them were dumbfounded, no one moved, Jiang Cheng'er knew what they were worried about.

They are used to it, and they will not resist for a long time. Although the Jiang drunkard was temporarily unconscious, Yu Wei was still there, and they were afraid and didn't dare to do anything to him.

It is necessary to ignite the anger in their hearts in order to arouse their fighting spirit and the courage to resist.

In order to prevent the drunkard Jiang from waking up and playing tricks, Jiang Cheng'er found a rope, tied him up strongly, and stuffed a rag in his mouth.

Jiang Cheng'er put away the coldness around her, turned around and smiled softly, restored her youngest daughter's demeanor, and beckoned her mother and two younger sisters to sit down.

The three of them were frightened, like pins and needles.

Jiang Cheng'er looked at Ping'er and held her cold little hand, Ping'er was still a child, and some words were not suitable for her to hear.

Jiang Cheng'er smiled: "Ping'er, you go to the patio, help my sister turn over the cloth to dry, and then go outside the gate to dig some wild vegetables, and we will boil vegetables at night." Stay safe and don't go far. ”

"Okay, big sister." Ping'er nodded obediently and went out with the small basket.

Jiang Cheng'er said with a straight face: "Mother, do you know why the drunkard Jiang ran back to beat me?" When I went to do the laundry at noon, I met the widow and taught her a lesson. It must have been her who complained to the drunkard Jiang, and he came back to vent his anger for the concubine. ”

Liu's eyes flashed with panic, and he hurriedly spoke: "Orange, don't listen to the nonsense of the villagers, your father has nothing to do with that woman." ”

Jiang Cheng'er sighed: "Mother, my daughter doesn't want to mention this stubble to make you sad, but it's a fact." Jiang drunkard and Yan widow hooked up and became adulterous, almost everyone in our village knows about it, and you also know it......"

"Orange, don't say it, I don't want to hear it, Peach is still here." Liu shook his head vigorously, revealing a sad look that could not be concealed.

"Peach has grown up, and there are some things for her to know." Jiang Cheng'er looked at her eldest sister.

"Mother, I already knew. Today I went out to chop wood, and on the way there were people pointing at my backbone, laughing at my father for selling his eldest daughter to buy a ring for his concubine. He also said that when my sister and I grow up, we will also be sold by my father and exchanged for money for my concubine. Jiang Tao'er's eyes were red.

Liu was stunned, and the pain in his heart swelled rapidly, surging straight to his head. She herself is not afraid of being wronged, but she is afraid that her daughters will be wronged.

"Mother, you heard, the drunkard Jiang sold his daughter to buy a ring for his concubine, and beat his daughter to make her angry. If it weren't for the concubine's disagreement, he would have divorced you a long time ago and married her home. Jiang Cheng'er was blunt.

Liu Shi held her head in pain, she was not a wooden person, she had flesh and blood and feelings, her husband was messing around with other women outside, how could she not be angry and sad?

But she had no way to stop it, so she could only pretend to be confused, blindly deceive herself that she had nothing to do, and seek psychological comfort.

Jiang Cheng'er must make her mother wake up as soon as possible, and she must expose it to the bottom of the day, so that her mother can completely recognize the current situation and see the ugly face of Jiang drunkard, so that her mother can give up on him.

"Mother, you are tired and tired all day long, earning money for him to support his mistress, he is merry outside, and when he comes home, he beats you, why? He relies on his own strength, your weakness, the more you endure, the more he can make inches.

Look at your bloody forehead and the old wounds all over your body, all thanks to him. You have been living such painful days for more than ten years, do you still want to continue to live? ”

Jiang Cheng'er paused slightly, giving her mother time to think.

Liu's tears flowed uncontrollably, her daughter's words poked at her sore spots, she was sad, sad, helpless, hesitant, and confused.

Jiang Cheng'er continued, "Even his own daughter can bear to be beaten to death, he is no longer a human being, and he has degenerated into a beast." Brutes have no conscience, and you should never expect him to wake up one day.

Your weakness only fuels his arrogance and provokes him to beat him more violently. Only if we have the courage to resist and defeat him, will he not dare to bully us again. ”

Liu was at a loss, for a traditional woman like her, her husband was her heaven and her earth. Her husband was violent, and she could only swallow her teeth in her stomach, how dare she resist.

Jiang Cheng'er knew that for a while, her mother's thoughts couldn't turn around, and she needed a process of acceptance.

She had a thought in her heart, she couldn't talk to her mother yet, find the right time, and take her time.

Jiang Cheng'er changed her words, "Mother, even if you don't think about yourself, you have to plan for your daughters." You also saw it today, and the drunkard Jiang almost killed me. Look at the scars on Peach's legs and arms, which ones were not left by his abuse.

If we don't take the opportunity to punish him and teach him a long lesson, he will wake up and beat us harder, even to death. ”

Liu's face turned pale, which was exactly what she was worried about, she couldn't watch her daughter being beaten to death by her husband.

She frowned: "But after all, he is the head of the family, my husband, your father, let's do this, it's not in line with etiquette." ”

Jiang Cheng'er was a little happy, and her mother's mind began to move, which is good. She was still hesitating, and he had to push her to make up her mind.

The mother agreed to punish the Jiang drunkard, which was the first step for the mother to resist domestic violence and move towards the road of resistance.

"What etiquette do you tell the devil, mother, you just go and get the key, and I'll do the rest."

Jiang Cheng'er gave her mother a firm look, and instead held Tao'er's hand tightly.

The warmth and strength coming from her hands made Jiang Tao'er raise her head and straighten her waist. She admires her sister's bravery today, and she wants to learn from her.

"Mother, I think my sister is right, people are good and are bullied, if we don't resist, our lives will not be saved." Jiang Tao'er's voice was very small and a little trembling, but she clearly stated her position.

Jiang Cheng'er looked at Tao'er with a smile and encouraged her in time, it was rare for Tao'er to be enlightened.

Liu gritted her teeth and went out for the sake of her daughters, so she raised her foot to get the key.

Jiang Cheng'er and Jiang Tao'er worked together to drag Jiang Jiu and dragged him to the cellar of the stove room.

When the small door opened, it was dark and rumbling, and it was narrow and dark.

Jiang Tao'er held the oil lamp and shone it in, Jiang Cheng'er climbed down and put the few sweet potatoes and radishes left in the cellar into a bucket.

Liu used a rope to lift the bucket and temporarily store it in a cool, dry place.

After Jiang Cheng'er came up, Liu hesitated, and just about to say something, Jiang Cheng'er quickly pushed Jiang Jiu into the cellar.

The drunkard Jiang fell in, knocked his head, and woke up.

When he opened his eyes, he couldn't see anything, it was pitch black, he thought he was dead, and he was in a dark hell, and he was terrified.

Jiang Cheng'er put her ear close to the gap in the small door, and vaguely heard a whimper from inside.

It's good to scare the drunkard Jiang to death, and if he can't be scared to death, he will starve him half to death, so that he will not eat for three days to see if he still has the strength to beat people.

Jiang Cheng'er put away the key, clapped her hands, and walked out with a smile.

Liu Shi was a little restless, worried about this and that, Jiang Cheng'er comforted her with a relaxed tone.

At the end, Jiang Cheng'er smiled sweetly: "Mother, you go to our room tonight to sleep, the three of us sisters want to be close to our mother." ”

"Okay." Liu hesitated for a moment and agreed.

In the evening, Jiang Cheng'er took back the sun-dried cloth, exuding the smell of flowers and sunshine.

The cotton inside the bedding was too old, and it was strong and heavy, and in some places it was clumped into pieces. She rubbed it with her hand and pumped it with a piece of bamboo to make it a little softer.

One day, the cotton-playing craftsman who walked the streets and alleys came to the village with his guys, took out the old cotton and played it again, and it would be soft and comfortable.

The two sisters Jiang Cheng'er and Jiang Tao'er cooperated, finished sewing the futon, and went to make dinner.

Tao'er brushed the pot to burn the fire, and Jiang Cheng'er went to adjust the batter.

She held the gourd scoop in her hand and stretched it into the large noodle urn, and when she heard the sound of the scoop scratching the bottom of the urn, her heart felt as if it had been scratched.

Broken! The noodles are almost gone, and at most ten days and a half months will be out of food.

Now is the time of green and yellow, it is only early spring, and it is still early before the summer wheat harvest, and every household basically has no extra grain in stock. If you want to buy it, you have to go to the noodle shop in town, but the noodle shop often deliberately raises the price at this time.

Her family can't afford thin noodles, and the price of thick noodles is not cheap, as far as she knows, the family has lost a penny.

The mother sold the yarn for a few bucks last time, but before she could cover it in her pocket, she was robbed by the Jiang drunkard.

Jiang Cheng'er poured back some of the thick noodles in the scoop, put less noodles, and add more wild vegetables.

Look at the oil pot and go down more than half, alas! Gotta buy it too.

Living at home with firewood, rice, oil and salt, you can't do anything without it, and everything needs to cost money.

I hope I can sell the soap tomorrow and buy something for some money.

At dinner, a family of four sat around a low table, drinking wild vegetables and shredded radish.

Jiang Cheng'er divided all the eggs sent by the Li family in half and divided them equally among the two younger sisters.

Peach and Ping'er stared at them in a daze, the oval half of the egg, the white egg white like jade like a small bowl, holding the golden yolk like the sun, the color is beautiful, and it is delicious to look at.
