This kind of experience happened many times later, and the two of them took the trouble to find every gambling house in the city, whether they could find it or not. With an open mind, they sprinkled, cried, and scolded in front of those who were anxious to gamble, just to let the two pillars of the family go home and work hard to support them and their children. He Tuyou remembered the first time he found Cheng Jiahua in the gambling house, when he had not returned home for a day and a night, and He Tu almost forced Cheng Jiaji to ask him before he told Cheng Jiahua which gambling house he was living in. He Tu didn't say a word, and took the two children without hesitation, Fang He was not at ease, and followed her, although Cheng Jiaji had already restrained a little at that time, and he was not so blatantly going out to gamble, he was mainly afraid of forcing Fang He, Fang He told his father, after all, he had also seen his father beat his eldest brother because of betting, so after Fang He made trouble for the first time, although he put cruel words on his mouth, on the way home, he still bought delicious and fun and coaxed Fang He once, just to block her mouth. Fang He was simple-minded, he didn't doubt his intentions at all, and thought that he was really a prodigal son, and he couldn't be happy. Later, for Cheng Jiahua's night of not returning, Fanghe's feelings for Hetu gradually changed from sympathy to sympathy, because she saw that she was living a much better life than Hetu, so as long as Hedi said which gambling house she was going to find someone, she immediately put down everything around her to accompany her. This is also the principle of compassion, and Fang He was almost touched by herself.

On the day he knew that Cheng Jiahua was still gambling, he had a big fight with him, and Cheng Jiahua never came back after he went out. He Tu suffered all night, and the next day he still couldn't help but go to Fanghe, and together with Fanghe, he threatened and cried Cheng Jiaji, and Cheng Jiaji reluctantly agreed to them and took them to find Cheng Jiahua. This time the road is obviously more winding than the last time, and if it weren't for someone to lead it, it really wouldn't be easy to find. When Hedi saw Cheng Jiahua squatting on a chair and shouting, the whole room was filled with smoke and the smell was mixed, and she almost vomited on the spot. Cheng Jiahua was naturally surprised when he saw her, but soon, his expression became indifferent, and he was even dissatisfied with Hetu's move of coming forward to grab his arm, and after shaking it off, he still continued to look at the mahjong in front of him seriously, and didn't even look at her.

"You go back to me!" She gritted her teeth and whispered, she grabbed his arm again, exerting all her strength to pull him out.

Cheng Jiahua didn't want to pay attention to her, but she really bores herself by pulling, and the people next to her are not good at playing cards, so they all look at themselves with a bad smile and make a good look.

"Are you annoyed?" Cheng Jiahua frowned and made a disgusted expression, "Get out." ”

He Tu was ready to be scolded for a long time, so he was not moved by his words, still pulled his arm hard, pointed at the two children with his chin, and said, "The babies are here, do you still want to bet?" Look at them, you can't wear new clothes, you can't eat what you want to eat, you still have to gamble? ”

"The money I gave you before was fake?" Cheng Jiahua glared at her with disgust, "Did you take the money to buy something for yourself, so that the babies don't have new clothes to wear?" ”

He Tu was almost laughed at angrily, and she couldn't help but raise her voice, "I'll buy it for myself?" You just take care of you having fun outside, your creditors are coming to the door, and a group of angry thugs are blocking our door to ask for accounts! If I hadn't given them the money I had saved, I wouldn't be able to get out of it now! Are you embarrassed to say that I took it to buy something for myself? ”

Cheng Jiahua didn't expect the creditor to chase him to his house, so he couldn't help but look at her in surprise, and after a while, he muttered: "How did they know the address of our house?" I didn't tell anyone except Ah Wu. ”

He Tu was not distracted by his words, and said coldly: "If you don't want me and the baby to be killed, you can go back with me quickly!" ”

Cheng Jiahua snorted impatiently and said, "Since the money has been given, you should go home quickly!" More on that later! ”

"You're not done!" He Tu finally couldn't help it, she slapped him on the back of the head with a snap, and yelled, "Believe it or not, I told Dad to go!" ”

Cheng Jiahua was stunned, and didn't react for a while that she would actually beat herself. There was a burst of boos around, and the good deeds all showed smiles on their good looks. A few seconds later, Cheng Jiahua recovered from the shock, he stood up, and the momentum forced him to take a few steps back. But Hetu still held his head up and looked at him fearlessly, as if he was ready to fight him.

"Fucking get out of here!" Cheng Jiahua roared angrily, he is the person who loves face the most, but he was slapped by his family in front of so many people, how will he behave in front of them in the future? The more he thought about it, the more annoyed he became, and he really couldn't swallow the breath in his heart, so he raised his hand and threw it hard in the face.

He Tu received this slap, which was also expected by her. Although she didn't get along with him, she still knew him, where his weaknesses were, and what he was afraid of. She just wants to make him lose face and feel faceless, so that he will not continue to gamble here in the future, and give all the money in his pocket to this group of people who watch the excitement in vain. She covered her face, looked at Cheng Jiahua coldly, and said, "Have you fought enough?" Hit enough and go home! ”

Cheng Jiahua raised his hand and slapped her on the other side of the face, and when the third slap was about to be thrown down, the corner of his eye caught a glimpse of Cheng Yan who was whispering on the side, covering his mouth and crying, and his movements froze. After a stalemate for a long time, he said angrily: "Go back!" Take Xiao Yan and Xiao Lin back, what are you doing with them in this smoky place! ”

Seeing that he was going back to sit on the chair and continue his gambling career, he suddenly became anxious, grabbed his arm, wrapped around him desperately, and shouted regardless of his image: "If you don't go back, I won't go back!" We're just spending it here! ”

"Fanghe!" Cheng Jiahua yelled, "Pull her back!" ”

Fang He can understand Hetu's mood very much, but she really doesn't know how to start, it stands to reason that she should help Hetu, but that's the eldest brother, not Jiaji, how can she let her touch it casually. So for a long time, she just helped to say a few words, but she couldn't help at all in actual action. At this time, when she heard that Cheng Jiahua asked her to take Hetu back, she was anxious, and she turned around them a few times at a loss, so she had to persuade: "Big brother, you can go back with your sister-in-law!" You haven't been home for a day and a night, and you don't have any rice at home anymore! ”

"Brother, your daughter-in-law is so angry." A man next to him shouted and smiled evilly.

The people around immediately burst out laughing, and then a series of discussions rang out, all pointing to the head of the product, as if this woman who collapsed because her husband gambled was a very interesting commodity.

Cheng Jiahua was stimulated by the surrounding environment, and he felt even more dull on his face, as if someone had stripped him naked and stood in front of people all over the world. With all his strength, he violently broke free from the restraints of Kai and He, pushed her to the ground, and scolded, "You are simply a shrew!" Do you want to be shameless, do you want to be shameless in front of so many people? If you don't have a face, I still have a face! If you do this again, I'll divorce you!" I see you still don't care about me! ”

He Tu got up regardless of it, and wanted to catch him, and was dragged out of the door by Cheng Jiahua's three pushes and pulls, he pushed Fang He and the two children out of the door, slammed the door and locked it, and shouted to the others in the room: "Come on, come on!" Go on! Go on! ”

Fang He saw that He Tu rushed to the door and was about to struggle to get in, so he hurriedly grabbed her arm and persuaded: "Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, don't go, you see your arms are bleeding!" ”

When she looked down, she saw a bloody patch on her elbow, and she didn't know when she had been injured, but she didn't feel any pain at all. She looked at Fang He viciously, as if Fang He was Cheng Jiahua, and scolded in her mouth: "I'm going!" I'm going to bring this dog-day turtle son back! Don't pull me! ”

"Sister-in-law!" Fang He couldn't help but raise her voice and looked at her in embarrassment, "Look at these two children, they are all scared and crying!" For the sake of the child, go back first, bandage the wound, and we'll come back when you're well! ”

The action of pushing the door stopped, she slowly looked down at the two children with tears on their faces, her eyes couldn't help but redden, she reached out and touched the top of Cheng Yan's head, and then touched Cheng Lin's cheek, and the expression on her face became complicated. After a while, he muttered to Fang He: "Fang He, what do you say I should do?" ”

"It's okay, it's okay." Fang He comforted, "Big brother is just confused for a while, it will be fine, he will come back." ”

He Tu shook his head, obviously not believing Fanghe's words. She glanced at the door again, and the dilapidated wooden door seemed to be an iron wall, separating her from the happy life she had imagined. She smiled bitterly and said, "No, he won't come back." ”

Fang He felt very uncomfortable looking at her like this, but he couldn't do anything except hold her hand tightly. She didn't know what Hetu was thinking, but she saw the tired and embarrassed woman look down and ponder for a moment, then raised her head and said to her, "Let's go back." ”

"Are you alright, sister-in-law?" Fang He saw that her expression calmed down, but she began to worry again.

"It's fine." He Tu shook his head, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, "You're right, I bandaged the wound first, healed it, and then I slowly consumed it with him, I don't believe I can't consume him!" ”

It was late autumn, the temperature was gradually getting cooler, and the two trees in the yard were falling their leaves one after another, making the half-renovated yard look bleak and deserted. She got up early in the morning, took advantage of the light of day, took a big broom tied by herself to sweep the fallen leaves in the yard, and then carried a sickle to the garden to cut the weeds that grew up to the people's calves. The garden was large, and although she had cleared half of the weeds, it still felt as if it was uninhabited. Since giving birth to Cheng Lin, her body has been much worse than before, but she still persists and tries hard to clean up this place like a home. She had to turn over the hard ground in the huge garden to grow the vegetables for the next year. She hunched over her back and toiled in the headless weeds for a long time, until the sun peeked out of the east and the warm sun shone down on her, she straightened up, put her sickle aside, and turned and walked towards the house.

Cheng Yan Chenglin had woken up and was looking around the house blankly, looking for his mother. He cleaned up the dust from his body a little, took care of the two children to dress and wash, and then went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast. Their breakfast is very simple, that is, steamed buns with pickles, if Cheng Jiahua is here, at his request, it will be a little more hearty, but it will not be much better. After eating breakfast in a hurry, she told Cheng Yan to take a good look at Cheng Lin, put a towel on her head, got into the garden, lowered her head and cut the weeds seriously. The wound on her elbow was almost healed, leaving only a shallow scar, but around the scar, there were countless small wounds cut by weeds, and the hands that were originally delicate and white were now more and more scarred, with calluses and small wounds everywhere. Sometimes, when she was tired, she straightened up and beat her back, and when she looked at her hands in the sun, she felt that they were the hands of a seventy-year-old man, not at all the hands of a young woman in her twenties. She smiled bitterly, she had long lost her feelings and pursuit of beauty, and now as long as she lived a good life, she felt very satisfied. After resting for a while, she bent down her thin waist and continued to weed, enduring the sunlight and the faint pain in her waist, wanting to finish this grass today, so that she could get rid of the grass in another field tomorrow. Caught in a boring labor and trance, her feet slipped, and she seemed to have stepped on something. He Tu was stunned, and hurriedly looked down, only to see two snakes swimming at her feet, and one of them looked up at her, and kept spitting snake letters, as if telling her that she had trampled on herself.

He screamed, instinctively threw away the scythe in his hand, and turned to flee outside. She didn't have time to look back to see if the two snakes were chasing her, she was terrified, for fear of being bitten by them, she ran all the way to the yard, and felt uneasy, ran a few steps outside, and stood on the dirt road at the gate. She stared at the place in horror, vigilantly to prevent them from escaping. Just when the nerves all over his body were tense, Leng Buding was tapped on the shoulder, and a cold and curious voice came: "Huh? ”

He was startled and almost took a big step back. She looked behind her in surprise, but saw a tall and thin man, looking at her expressionlessly, but his eyes were full of smiles. She remembered that this person was the one who helped her out of the siege that day, but although he helped her, she didn't know him, and his behavior was still a little reckless, so she couldn't help frowning, looking at him angrily, trying to express her displeasure with her expression.

"What are you doing standing here?" Zheng Xi asked, glancing behind her.

"It's none of your business." Hedi's temper came up, and she didn't look at him, she turned around and walked towards the back, but she took two steps and stopped, she was afraid that the two snakes were still in place, so how could she remove the grass? How do you accomplish today's goals?

Zheng Xi stood still, still looking at her. He Tu hesitated two steps, turned around, and said in embarrassment: "In the grass, there are two snakes. ”

Zheng Xi was stunned, but immediately smiled and said, "It's okay, I'll help you catch them." With that, he rolled up his sleeves and walked towards the place where he was pointing. He Tu stood and looked at him from a distance, not daring to go in, but he found a stick on the side, bent down and searched in the grass for a while, and suddenly picked out a snake with the stick, and quickly stretched out his hand to pinch its seven inches, so that it could not move. Seeing that he had only caught one, Hedi hurriedly shouted, "There is another one!" ”

Zheng Xi searched in the grass for a while, and he didn't know how he did it, so he reached out and grabbed the grass, and the seven inches of another snake were already pinched in his hand. The two snakes kept struggling in his hands, and he felt sick to the sight. Zheng Xi said as he walked: "This snake is not poisonous, I took them to a distant place and released them." He turned the dirt road, went to the other side, looked for a grassy place, threw the two snakes into it, and then turned and walked back.

He Tu still stood in place, as if he was afraid of snakes in the grass and did not dare to go in.

"No snakes." Zheng Xi said behind her, "I just looked for it. ”

He Tu turned around, glanced at him, and said with a red face, "Thank you, thank you." ”

"What about Kabirch? Isn't it there? Zheng Xi glanced in the direction of the room and asked.

"Nope." He Tu shook her head, as soon as she heard Cheng Jiahua's name, her face sank, she turned around and walked towards the garden, picked up the sickle again without saying a word, and continued to cut the grass.

Zheng Xi looked at her from a distance, and somehow, there was a strange feeling in his heart. He shook his head, turned away from this desolate and deserted place, comforted himself and said, "It must be that I didn't sleep well last night, and my heart feels uncomfortable." ”
