Chapter 6: Sister Rong (2)
Sister Rong gradually grew up, but she dropped out of school when she was in the third grade, and she was doing the work of adults in the mud and water all day long. She began to develop, and gradually had the beauty of a girl, but no one paid attention to her youth and her beauty.
Every evening after school, I always saw her carrying a big basket of grass back from the field, the grass basket was very large, the hanging grass covered her head and face, walking on the road, greeting the villagers from under the grass, every time I saw me, I always stood down, from the grass showed a face that I didn't know whether it was wet with dew or sweat, smiled at me a few times, and asked if school was over.
No one knew how she lifted such a heavy straw basket on her shoulders, no one knew how she carried such a heavy straw basket on her back day after day, and no one knew what she was thinking when she was lying quietly on the bed that night, perhaps she didn't think about anything at all, and fell asleep.
Sister Rong found her in-law early, and her family no longer beat her often, but the boy disagreed, thinking that she was short, that she was ugly, and that she was not good-looking.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year that year, Sister Rong stood on the street wearing knitted clothes and pants, which attracted the envy of many people, many adults dragged her clothes to see, knitted ones, very expensive, even adults were reluctant to buy them, not to mention letting half-grown children wear them, Sister Rong looked happy. I don't know who said, "Let her wear such expensive clothes, spoil a good piece of fabric".
Sister Rong lost her smiling face, hid in the house with her head down, and never came out again.
Within a few years, Sister Rong registered a marriage certificate with the boy, and the boy's mother said that after getting married and having a baby, the man will be down-to-earth, and I heard that the legal age of marriage should be changed, so it is better to do it as soon as possible, so as not to have many dreams at night. Children can go through the door after two years.
Sister Rong is naturally a hundred willing, because that boy is really good-looking. So I asked an acquaintance to get a marriage certificate. That winter, I forgot what the reason was, her parents and my parents quarreled, the quarrel was very strong, and the people on the street gathered around to watch the excitement, and Sister Rong was also helping her parents to scold, and scolded my grandmother, scolding my grandmother for being an old immortal,
The neighbor's grandmother went up and slapped her twice, while scolding, "Something without conscience, it's not your grandmother, you have died eight times ago!" Ungrateful and ungrateful things, it's just a matter of not persuading your parents to go back, you still scold, do you have a share of scolding here! ”
Good things don't go out, bad things spread thousands of miles, and the next day the boy knew about Sister Rong's scolding, and based on this, he persuaded his parents to divorce Sister Rong. The boy asked Sister Rong to go out to play, and when he was invited for the first time, Sister Rong was very happy, washed her hair carefully, dressed herself up brightly, and followed the boy out. The boy said that it didn't cost such a lot of money to buy a cow, and that he would never marry a daughter-in-law, and that Sister Rong was like her mother, who didn't know anything except that she could only work like a cow.
In this way, Sister Rong divorced without passing the door.
After the divorce, Sister Rong didn't go out for a long time, and even when she came out, she no longer greeted and talked when she saw someone, but just lowered her head. In the morning, he went to work in the fields at dawn, and only after the night was dark did he go home with a straw basket on his back in the moonlight.
When her grandmother died, someone saw Sister Rong hiding in a distant corner and crying, crying very painfully, even more painful than when her grandmother died.
A few years later, Sister Rong got married and married a divorced man, the man's first wife was divorced because of discord with her mother-in-law and sister-in-law, and the sister-in-law never got married because of her bad temper, and she couldn't see her brother and daughter-in-law good, so she was angry with her brother-in-law if she didn't like it well, and her mother-in-law was a well-known habitual girl, and the man's first wife was divorced for this.
When I was in college, every time I got home, I had to walk a long way after getting off the bus. One spring afternoon, after getting off the bus, I walked home along the long road, and suddenly I heard someone call me by my nickname, it turned out to be Sister Rong, who was hoeing grass in the field with a big belly.
I asked him with a smile, my sister has been pregnant for a few months, she said that it was almost seven months, and after seeing me go a long way, she began to hoe the grass again, far away, I saw her bending over laboriously, my heart was sour, after others were pregnant, they were petted as key protected animals, but Sister Rong, hey......! Is it really so unfair? I not only secretly scolded Sister Rong's man in my heart.
The wheat harvest is approaching, Sister Rong is still busy with her eight-month-old belly, and her man has been working in Jinan.
One day at noon, as soon as Sister Rong came home, her sister-in-law began to find fault, she scolded Sister Rong loudly, "It's all like this, and I still hold my brother all day long, and I don't pee to take care of my bear!" ”
Sister Rong couldn't bear it anymore, and replied to her, "If you have the ability, you can also find a clip, and if you don't do any work all day, you can bully me." ”
The eldest sister-in-law was annoyed and angry, rushed up and grabbed Sister Rong and beat her, and kicked her stomach when she raised her legs, and her mother-in-law also ran out of the house to beat Sister Rong, and the two of them grabbed the short Sister Rong, threw them up, and fell heavily to the ground. When the neighbors arrived, there was a lot of blood on the ground, and Sister Rong had a miscarriage, a boy, who died. When such a thing happens to us, my mother's family will not allow it, and we should seek justice for our daughter. Sister Rong's mother came, and her sister-in-law was so frightened that she hid out.
The mother-in-law pretended to say, "I didn't see this when I was in the house, and I quarreled with her sister for some reason, and that's it,"
Sister Rong's mother said, "It's nothing, women, who doesn't hurt a child, young, it's not the same to have another one after a year and a half, she has been used to falling and beating since she was a child, it's nothing." ”
The mother-in-law was even more frivolous, "This child is poor, no one has hurt since he was a child, no, I was pregnant with a kid and had a miscarriage!" You see, I won't serve anyone, so let her stay with you for a while."
Sister Rong's husband came back, and saw Sister Rong, who was blue and purple, curled up on the bed, secretly crying.
Sister Rong returned to our village, in fact, everyone else understands that her mother-in-law is afraid that the villagers will laugh at her for not serving her daughter-in-law in confinement, so she deliberately pushed Sister Rong out, and even the elderly and children have to help with the work during the wheat harvest season, and the mother-in-law is unwilling to delay this effort.
The neighbor's grandmother saw Sister Rong carrying a big basin of clothes and went to the bay to wash, so she called out to her, she said that her mother asked her to wash, it was very hot this day, no need to care, the neighbor's grandmother said with pity, "Rong!" You don't want to live anymore, it's been eight months, and it's been confinement for others," and taught Sister Rong's mother a lesson, and Sister Rong took her clothes back again.
A few days later, one morning, Sister Rong's husband came to pick her up, and her husband told her that he had found a stall in a vegetable market in Jinan in the past few days, rented a house, and wanted to take her to Jinan to sell vegetables, and never came back, and handed over a passbook to Sister Rong, saying that this was something he had quietly saved in recent years, and let Sister Rong put it away, and they went to Jinan in the early morning sunshine.
When I saw Sister Rong again, she was already a self-employed business selling vegetables. And has a beautiful son, the son is enjoying 9 years of compulsory education in Jinan, Sister Rong is full of smiles.
Sometimes I think that if people's thinking changes as quickly as a policy is implemented, Sister Rong will not have what happened to Sister Rong.
A few small birds skimmed across the lake, walking among the willows, the willow branches gently swayed with the spring breeze, and suddenly felt that Sister Rong was really like the willow trees, the earliest green, the late deciduous leaves, not afraid of salt and alkali, not afraid of drought and flood, as long as she was given room to live, she would bravely bring spring to the world.
