Chapter 357: Good Friends
The person who came was Amy.
She had just met Mingke and was about to go back to the dormitory to rest for a while, but she didn't expect to bump into this scene.
Originally, she could have chosen to turn around and leave, pretending not to know anything.
But she hesitated for a few seconds, and finally pushed the door in.
If nothing else, it is not easy for everyone to come to this university after passing the exam, and they are destined to become roommates in the same dormitory.
Zhou Hong didn't expect to be seen in such an embarrassing scene, so she quickly turned her head to wipe away her tears and squeezed out a smile.
"You're back."
She didn't want the rest of the dormitory to know about her family, thinking that it would make her and Yaya look down on her.
It's just that because of the letter she just received, Zhou Hong couldn't control her emotions.
Amy didn't rush to ask what was going on, but put down the book in her hand, took out a clean, unused cup and poured her warm water and handed it over.
"New cups, feel free to use."
Zhou Hong wanted to refuse, but Amy directly stuffed the warm quilt into her hand.
Her heart was disturbed by the words in the letter, and her whole person was also afraid and frightened because of the thought of the past, and this warmth made her inexplicably calm.
Amy is the youngest student in dormitory 302, but at this time, Zhou Hong thinks she is very reliable.
"Everything is going to get better and better, and now you're studying here, aren't you?"
As she spoke, she gave Zhou Hong a steamed bun she had just brought back from the cafeteria.
"I just walked behind you and saw you coming back from the library, and you probably haven't eaten yet. Eat first, body first, there will always be a solution to other things. ”
Warm hot water, steamed buns with body temperature, Zhou Hong looked at these two things, her emotions could no longer be suppressed, and she lay on the table and cried.
Amy didn't rush to explain, but thoughtfully closed the door to make sure that it wouldn't be heard by the people in the other dorms.
Then, she waited for Zhou Hong's mood to stabilize before she said:
"As I said at the beginning of the school year, we are now a family, and we can talk about any difficulties. There are so many people in our dormitory, and each of them is a smart person who can be admitted to such a good university, and it will definitely be faster than you alone to figure out a way together. ”
These things have been pressed in Zhou Hong's heart, and at this time, listening to Amy's gentle voice, she tried to talk to someone for the first time.
"I ...... My mother-in-law's family actually didn't allow me to take the college entrance examination, and when I registered for the college entrance examination, they locked me in the house, or they went out to work in the fields, leaving Yaya alone at home to sleep, and Yaya woke up and looked for me before opening the door......"
Speaking of Yaya, Zhou Hong's emotions became excited again.
Amy gently patted her on the back to give her a soothing.
Yaya is only a little older, and leaving her alone to sleep at home proves that the family doesn't care about this child at all.
Sure enough, what Zhou Hong said next immediately confirmed that Amy's guess was not wrong.
"I rushed to the last newspaper and knelt down and begged the village chief not to tell my in-laws. At that time, Yaya was also there, and she followed me to kowtow to the village chief's family, and the village chief felt that we were pitiful and agreed. In this way, I escaped for the time being, and when I waited for the college entrance examination for a few days, I hid some food and money tickets on my body, and no one paid attention when I went to the ground, so I secretly took the car to take the exam. For this, after I went back, I was beaten more than a dozen times with a stick by Yaya's father, and I almost died directly while lying on the bed. ”
Zhou Hong trembled so much, she still remembers how terrifying Yaya's father was that day.
The adult man's wrist-thick stick smashed on her with all his strength.
In the end, the girl was so frightened that she ran outside crying, attracting neighbors and the village chief, and everyone stopped the man for fear of death.
"I lay in bed for more than ten days, and I was scolded by the whole family every day, and I didn't even give me saliva to drink, and it was the maid who secretly hid something for me to eat so that I didn't starve to death."
Zhou Hong looked out through the dormitory window, watching the young students frolicking below, her face full of trance.
For a while, she couldn't tell whether such a beautiful campus was a dream or a reality.
Amy didn't say anything, just patted her on the shoulder, indicating that someone was there to accompany her.
Zhou Hong was awakened by the warmth of Amy's palm, and her eyes, which were originally a little chaotic, became clear again.
"Later, I was admitted, and the brigade reported the good news to the village, but my situation did not get better, but worse."
The educated youth who didn't take the exam said that she was married to grab their places, as if she could get into the exam without taking the exam.
The people in the village said auspicious words of congratulations on the surface, but behind the scenes, they told her in-laws that they should not let her go out to study, otherwise her heart would become bigger and she would run away with other men in the future.
As a result, Zhou Hong was closely monitored by her in-laws, and no matter what she did, someone was watching.
Not only them, but also other people in the village, and even the educated youth who had a good relationship with her, were staring at her.
"I'm just thankful for the little kindness the village chief has given me. They were going to tear up my admission letter directly, but the village chief said that it was a document sent above, and if it was broken casually, it would be sent to the brigade for ideological reform, and points would be deducted. So they threw this thing at me and felt unlucky. ”
Later, Zhou Hong saw the opportunity to escape with difficulty, but was seen by the educated youth.
Ignoring her pleas, the young man called the rest of the village and tied her up alive.
Now Zhou Hong still remembers what that person said to her.
"You don't want to get what I can't get."
Zhou Hong lowered her head, and the smile on the corner of her mouth was very sarcastic.
Amy also felt that this sentence was very ironic, which made her think of Yan Xiaoxi, who was made of heaven and earth.
"I can't help it, the whole village has become my cage, and I can't get out of it. Seeing that the time for registration was getting closer and closer, I couldn't help it, I was unwilling to give up, so I took a kitchen knife to my neck and made trouble all the way to the brigade. ”
Although there are many ignorant people in the village, the brigade is different.
The more college students are admitted to each team, the more glorious that team will be.
So Zhou Hong knew that the brigade was her only hope to get out.
Sure enough, when things got bigger, the mother-in-law's family, who could only be in the nest, had to change their minds and promise to let her go to school, and pretended to get her something that was useless to take with her, saying that the whole family would do their best to support her and let her not forget her roots.
When the brigade saw them like this, they let Zhou Hong go home.
Zhou Hong knew that going back would be another beating, but she had nowhere else to go.
Sure enough, when she went back, she was beaten again.
"You educated youths are really all white-eyed wolves who can't be raised, you couldn't eat at that time, if it weren't for our kind-hearted family, you would have starved to death in the educated youth point. Now, after being admitted to college, I have the ability to look down on our family and want to go to the city to enjoy the happiness by myself, right? I'm telling you, no way! If you dare to go to college, you will get divorced immediately, and you don't want to marry again after the divorce! ”
In the village, no one wants a divorced woman.
But they underestimated how strong Zhou Hong's desire to go out was.
At that time, Zhou Hong was beaten so that blood marks oozed from his clothes, and he said directly: "Leave, leave." ”
Divorce is a good thing for her.
However, how could such a family really be willing to let them divorce.
It is not easy to marry a daughter-in-law in that poor place, especially a cultured and good-looking daughter-in-law like Zhou Hong.
They were so angry that they couldn't help it, and beat Zhou Hong again.
But this time, Zhou Hong didn't lie on the bed because of the pain like before, she just pretended to be scared, and then sneaked out with her things.
When she left, she took Yaya with her.
"They think of me so strictly, but because Yaya is a girl, not the precious grandson they want, she sleeps alone in a small dark room with firewood, and they don't know if I take people away."
Yaya is very sensible, Zhou Hong endured the pain and carried her all the way to the train station, she also got down and walked by herself, and she didn't cry out of pain when she walked with blood blisters on her feet.
After talking about the situation at home, Zhou Hong's mood has been much more stable than at the beginning.
"Actually, I'm not afraid of hardship, really, otherwise I wouldn't have married Yaya's father in the first place. But I'm afraid that I won't see the end and hope for the rest of my life. When that person beat me, my mother-in-law deliberately dragged the maid to watch. She told Yaya that if she didn't obey, she would be beaten to death like me. I can't imagine what Yaya will become when she grows up in such an environment. ”
Fortunately, she escaped with her child.
Jiangcheng was far, far away from that remote village, and Zhou Hong originally thought that she would be fine if she escaped.
Until today I received this letter.
She felt uncomfortable, and she didn't have an idea, for fear that those crazy people would come to the school to make trouble and tie her and Niuniu back.
She showed the letter to Amy.
"I don't know what to do now, they don't just talk, I know they do."
Zhou Hong's tone was very broken, and her eyes were full of despair and fear.
Amy handed her the water and calmed her before looking down at the letter.
The letter was long, but the back and forth was full of money and threats.
Amy felt sick and wanted to vomit just by looking at the words.
"Don't worry, even if they do come, they won't come right away, we still have time to figure it out."
The village is far away, and it costs a lot of money to come to Jiangcheng.
Judging from the tone of the letter, they must be reluctant to spend money.
Therefore, Zhou Hong still has time to think of a way.
And Jiangcheng is so big, as long as Zhou Hong is prepared, those people may not have a way to come.
"And, you still have us."
Amy looked at Zhou Hong's eyes and said.
She's no longer alone, she has several other like-minded roommates behind her.
Zhou Hong's eyes were red, and he nodded gratefully.
"No matter what, I will never let them succeed, I will never let Yaya go back to that horrible group of people, they will sell Yaya!"
Zhou Hong is actually not a very brave person, but once it comes to Yaya, she will become the bravest person in the world.
