Chapter 219: The Buried Story

It is said that fifty years ago, there was a blacksmith surnamed Sun in Huangshu Village, and the blacksmith and his wife had no children in their lives, but when they were old, they got a daughter, named Sun Xiulan.

Although the idea of patriarchy was very serious in that era, Sun Xiulan was also the only seedling in the family, so she was loved by her parents.

At that time, women rarely studied, but because they spoiled their daughter, Sun Blacksmith and his wife saved money to let their daughter go to private school for three years.

As a result, Sun Xiulan has become one of the few women in the village who has read a book, coupled with her beautiful appearance, many young men in the village are her admirers, and the threshold of her family has long been broken by the marriage.

People in the village often say that a girl like Xiulan, there is no young man in the village who can match her, if it weren't for the change of the times, it would be more than enough for her to be a noble concubine for the emperor in the past.

That being said, it has been a rule for hundreds of years that a woman should get married, and seeing that her daughter is about to be eighteen, Mr. and Mrs. Sun Blacksmith gradually began to get anxious.

But fortunately, after the daughter, she finally found a person she liked, the man's guy Xin Zhao, the family has been farming farmers for several generations, and the family is not rich, but this young man is handsome, and he is honest and honest, so this marriage is a match made in heaven in the eyes of Sun Blacksmith and his wife, and in the eyes of the people in the village.

So the two young men got married, and because it was the busy farming season at the time, their official wedding was postponed until the winter of that year.

In that era when feudal thinking was very strict, even if a man and a woman were married, they could not meet each other before they officially got married, and the same was true for these two young people, who had never met after they were married.

Blacksmith Sun's family's main income comes from ironwork, so his family's grain is relatively small, and Blacksmith Sun loves his daughter, so even in the busy farming season, Sun Xiufang does not have to go to the field to help, and usually stays at home to cook and do some needlework at her daughter's house.

In the following autumn, Sun Xiufang hardly went out, just waiting for the winter to get married, but then a strange thing happened to her.

At the beginning of winter this year, the grain in the field was almost finished. The family began to prepare for their daughter's wedding, and the auspicious day of the zodiac was chosen a month later.

But during this time, Sun Xiufang's belly, which had not yet left the cabinet, was getting bigger day by day, and at first she thought she was suffering from some disease, so she relied on clothing to cover it up.

But then her belly got bigger and bigger, and she was no different from the pregnant woman who was about to give birth, and her secret finally couldn't be hidden.

Good things don't go out, bad things spread thousands of miles, Sun Xiufang's unmarried pregnancy soon spread in the village, and Sun Blacksmith and his wife also began to be pointed at in the village.

Blacksmith Sun wanted to explain to people that his daughter was a good girl and would not do that kind of thing out of the cabinet, but the big belly that his daughter was holding made him speechless, not to mention that this was what happened when she had a marriage contract with someone, which made it even more mouthful.

In those days, the innocence of the girl's family was often more important than life, and in some places, the girl was to be immersed in the pig cage if she did something unscrupulous. Although there is no rule of soaking pig cages in Huangshu Village, just the saliva of the people in the village is enough to drown Sunsmith's family, and the disdainful eyes of others are sometimes easier to hurt than knives.

Under pressure, Blacksmith Sun beat his daughter for the first time and asked her who the adulterer was.

But Sun Xiufang just shook her head vigorously in addition to crying, according to her previous words, she had never done anything unscrupulous, and she was innocent.

Blacksmith Sun felt that his daughter was not admitting her mistake, and he was very angry in his heart, and locked her in the firewood room of the family.

At that time, due to the lack of medical technology, there was no way to do abortions. So Blacksmith Sun had to buy some abortion pills for his daughter to eat, according to common sense, it is very dangerous to have an abortion if you are pregnant to this extent, and if you don't get it right, it will be one corpse and two lives.

But Blacksmith Sun, who was carried away by anger, didn't care about his daughter's life or death at that time, and he had to forcibly pour it if his daughter didn't drink medicine.

But the strange thing is that Sun Xiufang did not have a miscarriage after drinking a lot of abortion pills, she just often felt that her stomach hurt.

In the end, the mother, unable to see her daughter suffering like this, secretly opened the door of the firewood room and let her out.

After that, Sun Xiufang left home and lived alone in the village's ruined temple, and because she had no financial resources, she could only beg for food in Huangshu Village every day to make ends meet.

Of course, most of the people in the village despised this unruly girl, and would rather pour leftovers into the dog trough than give it to her. Even if some families were willing to give her leftovers, it was after verbally humiliating him.

What chilled Sun Xiufang's heart the most was that whenever she passed by the door, it was always closed, although she could sometimes hear the sound of her parents arguing in the house.

This winter was cold. Sun Xiufang lived in the broken temple with a big belly for nearly a month, and finally she couldn't hold on anymore.

One day, she took the scissors she used to use for needlework to the crooked neck tree at the entrance of the village, called all the people in the village by shouting, and then cut her stomach with scissors in front of everyone to show everyone what was in her stomach.

Everyone, including Sun Xiufang's parents, saw clearly that there was no child in her belly, and it was a huge sarcoma. Many people will have tumors, big or small, some on the skin and some in the brain, Sun Xiufang's sarcoma is just a little special, it happens to grow in the stomach.

Sun Xiufang died, and no one in the village spoke again after her death, as if this girl was simply unlucky, and none of them were at fault for her death.

What's even more ironic is that this day happens to be the original wedding date of Sun Xiufang and her sweetheart.

Afterwards, Sun Xiufang's body was buried by her sweetheart, the young man surnamed Zhao. At first, the two could be said to have fallen in love at first sight, but what they didn't expect was that the first time they met became the last.

That guy felt that he was very responsible for Sun Xiufang's death, and if he was willing to stand up to protect her at that time and believe her, I am afraid there would not be such a tragedy.

As a result, the young man fasted all his life and never married, and he was the fourth uncle of Erniu.

Because the people in the village didn't want to mention it, it disappeared little by little, so that the younger generation had no idea that such a thing had ever happened in the village. Until now, only the older generation like Lao Cun still knows about it.
