Wang Po's footsteps were messy, and she walked quickly towards the village, and when she came to the head of the village, she was afraid that the butcher would chase her out with a kitchen knife and chop her up again.

After standing still and taking a few breaths and calming her heartbeat, Wang Po went to Cheng's house to find An Xia, told An Xia what she had heard, and heard Wang Po describe the miserable death of the butcher's first wife, and her heart was full of sympathy and anger.

Sympathize with the woman, who was beaten to death by the butcher. Angry at the woman's mother's family, she didn't care that her daughter died so unjustly after receiving the money, and an idea slowly popped up in her heart, if the butcher didn't spare her brother, she would report him.

"Let's go, I'll go to Liang's house with you."

Wang Po took An Xia and went to Liang's house together.

"Oh, the princess is here, fast forward, fast forward." Liang's mother looked at the door early and saw Wang Po smiling with a smile on her face, as if she saw a full amount of RMB.

"Hey, why didn't Xiao Zheng come?"

Wang Po laughed twice, raised her legs and entered the door, An Xia followed behind, and Liang's mother saw it, "Why are you here?" ”

"I heard that my brother is back, I'm coming to see her."

"My family has something to do today, and my brother is not available."

"What's the matter? It's been a long time since I've seen my brother. ”

An Xia said with a smile, there was a princess next to her, Liang's mother was not good at saying too ugly words, and besides, An Xia was now living in the Cheng family, she didn't dare to offend too much, so she rolled her eyes and let An Xia go in with Wang Po.

Liang Laidi wore a white shirt and black pants today, the shirt is very new, it is indeed a good material, very crisp, but this shirt is very large, and it is like a hemp bag on Liang Laidi's body, Liang Laidi stood in the hall with a white face, and saw that Wang Po's eyes were straight, and suddenly saw An Xia behind Wang Po, and immediately smiled.

"Xia Xia, you're here."

"Brother Lai, are you okay?" When An Xia said this, she blinked, she meant whether Liang's father and Liang's mother beat her last night.

Brother Liang shook his head, looked at Liang's mother timidly, and found that she didn't look at herself, so he shook his head gently.

Liang's mother didn't see the butcher, and kept muttering in her heart, could it be that she couldn't take a fancy to her second girl? She was anxious to ask what happened to Mrs. Wang, but Anxia was here, she glared at her daughter, "What are you doing here, I didn't see the adults talking." ”

"Xia Xia, come to my house."

As soon as An Xia and Brother Liang left on the front foot, Liang's mother couldn't wait to ask: "Grandma Wang, what's the matter, is Xiao Zheng unable to come because he is busy?" ”

……

"Xia Xia, this house is hot, give you a fan."

As soon as An Xia entered the side cabin, the hot air hit her face, and even made people a little breathless, she looked up at the asbestos net roof above, this thing is the most heat-absorbing, if you spread some straw on the roof, it can be better, it is better to keep it warm in summer and keep warm in winter, so that the younger brother has his own bed, although this used to be the bunk of the eldest sister of the Liang family, and the younger brother had no place to live when he went home, so he could only squeeze together with the fifth brother.

"Sister Xia Xia." Liang Wudi sat on a small bench, in front of her was a big bench, doing her homework, she was in the third year of junior high school this year, and her studies have been very good, of course, because she studied well, the school teachers kept working, otherwise the Liang family would not have let her go to school a long time ago.

"There's a brother." An Xia thought about it and took out a handful of candy from her pocket, which she had eaten when she bought medicine for her grandmother before, and her grandmother always had a bitter mouth when she took medicine.

Liang Youdi's eyes lit up instantly when she saw the candy, but she was very measured and grabbed it without reaching out.

"There is a brother, study hard, you hide these sugars, eat one when you are tired of studying, and replenish your physical strength."

An Xia took out the candy from her pocket one by one, and Liang Youdi's eyes were straight when she saw it, wondering why Sister An Xia's small pocket contained so much sugar, "Sister Xia Xia, it's enough, don't give it to me, keep it for yourself." ”

An Xia smiled, "You eat more, study hard, if you are tired and hungry, eat a piece of candy, don't put it away, Sister Xia Xia is waiting for you to be admitted to university." ”

Liang Youdi's eyes were red, she had never met someone who was so good to her, except for the eldest sister and the second sister, her parents had never treated her like this, the sugar for the New Year had always been her brother's, she couldn't eat any of them, she could only smell the aroma on the candy paper.

But the New Year's sugar is not as good as what Sister Xia Xia gave, and the White Rabbit milk candy, I heard that this is the sugar from the magic capital, where did Sister Xia Xia buy it.

"Sister Xia Xia, you eat one."

Liang Youdi peeled a candy for An Xia, and then peeled a candy for the second sister, and then carefully peeled a white rabbit and put it in her mouth, the sweet milk smell filled the entire mouth, she squinted her eyes happily and contentedly, the white rabbit milk candy was so delicious.

"Anxia, I'm so scared."

"Don't be afraid, the princess won't give you a proposal, to be exact, she has already asked the butcher to push off this proposal, don't worry."

"Really?" Liang Laidi's eyes instantly burst with hope.

"It's not that I don't want to get married, and I don't want to disobey my parents, I just don't want to marry that person, I'm afraid."

An Xia patted her friend's hand, "I know, you are already timid, it is better to find a man with a good temper, or come to brother, have you ever thought about changing your life." ”

"A different way of living?" Liang Laidi looked at An Xia in confusion, from ancient times to the present, the girls in this hillside village have grown up to seventeen or eighteen years old to say that they are married, and then they get married, and then give birth to children, and serve men and babies, so what else can they do to live in this way.

"The outside world is so big, you don't want to go and see it, learn some skills, you can learn pastry, makeup, cooking, you have a skill, are you afraid that you can't support yourself? If you meet someone you like, then be with him, but if you can't, as long as you can make money and support yourself, why do women have to get married?

Dependent on men to live? You look at the sisters-in-law in the village who do less work, what they do at home, they can make money as a nanny outside, but in addition to being a free laborer at home, you also have to look at the man's face, meet a bad man, be beaten by a man and scolded by his mother-in-law? What kind of day is this, what kind of day is this life, just a few decades? ”

An Xia's point of view sounded very novel to Liang Laidi, and even a little rebellious, at this time it was still very conservative, and the girls in the city had to marry when they reached a certain age, otherwise they would be drowned by rumors, not to mention the conservative countryside.

"Xia Xia, what you said makes sense, but I'm afraid that if I do this, my parents will beat me to death."

"Come brother, you dare to invest in the big reservoir, what are you afraid of your parents doing? They can't eat you, and if they beat you, won't you run? ”

Looking at Liang Laidi's confused eyes, An Xia didn't expect these few words to be able to reverse her thoughts, she took out the Bingqing Jade Muscle Cream from her pocket, "I brought you medicine and applied it to the wound, it will be cured soon, and it will also relieve the pain." ”

Liang Youdi stared at An Xia's pocket in amazement, this pocket looked small, and it could hold so many things.
