Bo Yi greeted Wu Ju with a smile when he entered the door, and gave him the things he bought from Wen Dazui's house.

"Aunt Wu, tease the child! Come on, this is for you, is Shumei there? Why didn't she go to the factory today? ”

"Come on, come on! Why are you so polite? Sookmei is in the house! Sick. ”

Wu Ju has always been insatiable, saying polite words in her mouth, but her hand has already taken over the things in Bo Yi's hand.

Bo Yi gently pinched Xiao Shuangning's face, and there was a croaking frog in his mouth to amuse the child, with a childlike smile on his face. But as soon as he heard Wu Ju say that Shumei was sick, he instantly put away his smile and walked towards the house without saying a word.

Looking at Shumei, who was lying on the bed and unconscious, Bo Yi felt extremely uncomfortable. But what can you do? This is in the Zhang family, she is the wife of the righteous successor, and what she does is not right.

"Boyi is here!"

Seeing Bo Yi enter the door, the helpless Jizong was like seeing a life-saving straw. He didn't know Bo Yi's affection for Shumei, and he didn't care about what gossip others would say, the first thing he cared about was Shumei's safety. Bo Yi is here, just in time to take Shumei to the hospital.

"I heard that Shumei is sick, is it serious?"

"Seriously, I've been in a daze since the morning, Daddy just cooked, I told her to get up and eat, and she didn't react at all." Jizong said, looking at the food on the bedside table.

"That'...... Then why don't you take her to the hospital? ”

"I want to too! But you see me like this, how can I send it? ”

"Uncle Zhang, they ......"

"Don't mention it, it's not that you don't know my aunt."

Looking at the pale Shumei, Bo Yi couldn't take care of it so much, and without waiting for Jizong to speak, he helped up the sleeping Shumei, "Jizong, I will send Shumei to the hospital, nothing is as important as life and health." With that, he carried Shumei on his back.

"Bo Yi, then I'll trouble you."

"What am you and me polite about? I went first. ”

Under the guise that he and Jizong are brothers, Bo Yi justifiably saved his beloved woman.

"Then, be careful, Shumei has money in her pocket."

Jizong didn't forget to tell Bo Yi, but Bo Yi had already gone out in a hurry, and it was unknown whether he had listened to his words.

Seeing Bo Yi come out with Shumei on his back, Wu Ju was so shocked that she stood up from the stool, "You guys...... You ......" Before she could say what she wanted to say, Bo Yi had already rushed out the door.

One is a single man with a dead daughter-in-law, and the other is a living widow whose husband is paralyzed. This time, if he was bumped into by others, the foaming stars would fly all over the sky, and Wu Ju was so anxious that he stomped his feet.

"Child, father, don't you hurry up and follow, are you making your Zhang family a laughing stock in ten miles and eight towns?"

Zhang Binglin came out of the room slowly, carrying his long cigarette stick, "Now that I know that I am in a hurry, I would have asked you to send Shumei to the hospital a long time ago, what did you do?" ”

"Good! The wings of the young and the old have grown stiff, and they have all learned to resist me. Wu Ju held the child with one hand, picked up the dustpan on the stone table with the other, and threw it at Zhang Binglin.

Zhang Binglin flashed neatly, snatched away the behemoth that flew over, and walked towards the outside of the courtyard.

Anyway, we can't understand the three obedience and four virtues in Wu Ju's eyes, this normal back Shumei went to the hospital to see a doctor, she felt that it was immoral. That made her man get involved with her daughter-in-law, but she took it for granted.

In the past few days that Shumei has been in the hospital, Bo Yi has been guarding by her side. Sook-mei's high fever does not go away, and he uses hot towels to cool Shu-mei in the house all night until So-mei's body temperature drops.

Shumei's first meal after waking up was also fed to her by Bo Yi spoonful. Although Shumei has always been strongly opposed, Bo Yi has always insisted on doing that, and Shumei has no choice but to reluctantly comply.

Looking at Boyi, who grew up with Jizong like Jizong, Shumei actually had an illusion that the Boyi in front of her was her other half, the angel who guarded her, and her eyes were filled with moving tears. After a moment of thought, she slapped herself hard.

Bo Yi, who was rubbing her face towel on the side, was shocked when he heard her resounding slap. He turned around and looked at Shumei with a puzzled look.

"Shumei, are you alright?"

"It's okay, the mosquito bites me."

In this big winter, where are the mosquitoes, this is clearly not self-confessing, and lying does not go through the brain.

In this world, where will someone hit themselves for no reason. Bo Yi knew that Shumei was lying, she must have something in her heart, but Shumei didn't say anything, so he didn't ask more.

Shumei stayed in the hospital for five days, not to mention that the little money on her body was used up, and Boyi also gave a lot of money.

O poor man! I can't afford to be sick, I've worked so hard for so long, this disease! She returned to before liberation, penniless, and worse things awaited her.

The director of the brick factory successfully transferred his funds and divorced his original partner.

At the beginning, Shumei's coercion, he firmly remembered it. He is the director of a large brick factory, but he wants to be soft on a little woman, and he can't swallow this evil breath.

This man remembers the grudge, and it is even more unreasonable than the woman. When the factory director came out of the Civil Affairs Bureau, the first thing he did was to go back to the factory to get rid of Shumei and vent the anger he had held in his heart for so long.

Originally, he still wanted to find a suitable reason to make himself face-saving, so as not to be said to cross the river and tear down the bridge, unload the mill and kill the donkey. didn't think that Shumei's long sick leave would make him find a high-sounding reason, and he fired Shumei on the grounds that Shumei took leave for three days and delayed the on-time completion of the order.

After recovering from her illness, Shumei wanted to hurry up and go to the factory to earn some money to get by, but her family was really a family with four walls.

But she never expected that as soon as she entered the factory gate, she was told by the guards: "Big sister! The factory director asked you to go to his office to settle your salary? ”

Settle salary? Shumei was full of doubts, frowned, looked at the guards with questioning eyes, and walked towards the factory director's office with heavy steps.

When she arrived at the door of the factory director's office, she unceremoniously pushed the door open, although she was angry, she couldn't think of the slightest way to recover.

When the factory director saw her come in, he slapped the little money he had prepared on the table, "Take the money and get out, don't let me see you again in the future." ”

The factory director originally wanted to explain to her the reason for firing her, but when he saw Shumei's angry eyes, he became angry. I'm the boss, I can open whoever I want, and I can't argue with them.

Shumei walked to the table, counted the money twice in her hand, and put it in her jacket pocket. Spare the table and walk towards the position of the director.

What kind of role Shumei is, the factory director knows it, watching Shumei approaching him, he got up from the chair in a panic, and his body involuntarily leaned back.

"What do you want to do?"

Shumei didn't speak, raised her hand and slapped the factory director hard. Due to the suddenness of the incident, the factory director did not have time to react, and Shumei's slap was accurate and powerful. The factory director was almost knocked to the ground by her, but fortunately there was a table to block it, so as to avoid the embarrassment of falling to the ground in embarrassment.

After gaining a firm foothold, the factory director raised his right hand and wanted to fight back. Seeing this, Shumei did not dodge, but turned her face sideways to meet him, signaling him to hurry up.

Seeing Shumei like this, the factory director retreated and put down his raised hand again.

"Phew! Villain! ”

Shumei spat on the ground, squeezed the word villain out of her mouth, and walked out of the factory director's office.

Where is the road? The road is underfoot. For Shumei, the days that had just improved fell into the abyss again. With no future in mind, she once again lost her way forward.

Life is already like this, and her mother's family still does not miss the opportunity to exploit her labor. After she was busy with her own work in the field, she had to rush back to her parents' house to help. Without a job, she still sleeps later than a dog and wakes up earlier than a chicken, facing the loess with her back to the sky every day.

After the last harvest of the year, it is approaching the end of the year, and Shumei is completely idle.

There are sweet potatoes that have just been dug out of the ground, plus corn that has been evenly disemboweled from the pig's mouth. Shumei made them into sweet potato soup and tortillas, barely enough to wrap her belly. But Shumei knows that this is not a long-term solution, relying on the meager harvest at home, there is no way to worry about food and clothing.

In fact, she is the only one who is hungry every day, Wu Ju and Zhang Binglin are still secretly hiding a lot of food and money, while she is away, they will secretly open a small stove, anyway, they will not starve themselves.

Tang Boyi is still the same as before, doing his best to help Shumei, the work in the field, the work at home, he will change the law to find excuses to help.

But no matter how hard Boyi dedicates, it is difficult for one person to support two families!

In order to make a living, Shumei once again embarked on a journey to find a job.

There was no work to be done in the village, so she went to the town. There is a lot of physical work, but most of it is not female. I tossed back and forth for several days, but I didn't find a satisfactory job.

One day, after Shumei ate the closed door soup again, she sat under an old banyan tree in the town and was worried. After a day of running, Shumei was already so tired that her legs were sore, and she hadn't eaten anything for a day, and her stomach was already so hungry that her chest was close to her back.

She took out a piece of tortilla that she had brought with her when she went out in the morning, the tortilla was already cold and hard, but to her, it was precious! She carefully bites the bread in her hand one bite at a time.

At this moment, a middle-aged woman of about forty years of age, neatly dressed, sat down on the stone beside her, and the woman's face was full of friendliness, and she seemed to feel very easy to get along with.

"Big sister, you're going to eat this?" The woman looked at the hard tortilla in Shumei's hand and asked in a skeptical tone.

"Hmm!"

Shumei smiled awkwardly at her, whispered, and subconsciously pulled the cake in her hand tighter. I don't know if it was because of embarrassment, or if her words touched the wound in Shumei's heart. After a moment of nervousness, she continued to swallow the bread in her mouth with difficulty.
