Chapter 123: Chance Encounter with an Insider
On the third day, an old country woman moved into her room.
The old woman was very talkative and always took the initiative to talk to her.
"You're a painter? Coming from a big city, right? I look at your dress, it's not a small place. ”
She said this with her eyes fixed on the sketch she was drawing.
"I'm not a painter." Gu Yining is still wary of strangers taking the initiative to talk to her, and is reluctant to talk to her more.
The old woman is cooked. Actually walked to his side. Stand beside her and watch her paint.
Gu Yining hates that when he is doing things, someone stands by and watches.
So I didn't want to draw anymore.
Closing the notebook, he said unhappily: "I don't draw anymore." ”
The old woman couldn't see that her eyebrows were high and her eyes were low, and she said, "It's very good, why don't you paint it?" ”
"I don't want to draw anymore!"
The old woman returned to her bed and sat down, and said thoughtfully: "The person you painted is quite similar to Li Yanmei in our village." ”
Gu Yining was stunned for a moment and asked, "Which village are you from?" ”
"From Mingyang Village."
Gu Yining's heart was beating wildly, is there really such a coincidence in the world? Could it be that Li Yanmei is Aunt Mei? It's like that!
She opened her notebook, looked at the lifelike portrait she had drawn herself, and shook her head slightly. Because she painted a young Aunt May.
said: "You said that the person I painted is like Li Yanmei in your village?" But you know what? Although the person I painted looked young, she was actually in her 50s. I painted her when she was younger. ”
The old woman slapped her thigh, "That's even more right!" I'm talking about being like Li Yanmei when she was young, and now Li Yanmei is about the same age as me. ”
Gu Yining was so excited that he almost slapped his thigh.
With a smile on his face, "I should call you aunt, right?" Auntie, what is your surname? ”
"Don't give your surname Yu."
"Aunt Yu! Maybe you're right. I am here to find someone, and I am entrusted by my elders to find this person. I just knew that this person was in Mingyang County, but I had never seen this person, so I drew this portrait according to the description of the elders. Tell me about Li Yanmei's situation and see if it's the person I'm looking for? ”
The old woman pondered for a while and said, "That Li Yanmei in our village, how can I say it, let's say that she has a rough life!" But the family was blessed later, and her daughter was rich! She borrowed her daughter's light. ”
Gu Yining tentatively: "Is her daughter married to a rich man?" ”
"It's not! Her daughter is not married. ”
Gu Yining continued to probe, "Then her daughter must have become a big boss in her own business?" ”
"Not really."
Gu Yining looked puzzled, "Then how did she borrow her daughter's light?" ”
The old woman sighed, "Alas! I'll start you at the beginning! ”
The old woman's presentation goes something like this.
More than 20 years ago, Li Yanmei from Mingyang Village married a coal miner surnamed Liu who was working in the mine, and gave birth to a daughter named Liu Xiaodong after marriage.
went down the well to earn a lot, and Li Yanmei had a good life. She already loves beauty, and she dresses up all day long.
She was tired of the work of the production team, and she rarely went to work in the team. However, if you don't work and don't work, you won't have a work point, and you will have to deduct your work points for distributing food in the autumn.
Therefore, she is a three-day fishing, two days of drying nets.
She was reluctant to go to the field and was optimistic about the work of the custodian of the production team. She seduced the production captain with her hue and did this job. As a result, her husband found out and beat her severely.
