Chapter 35: Dirty Water

"Dad didn't mention what happened back then, and people around me only gossiped, I wonder if you had any misunderstanding at the beginning?"

I was confused and uncomfortable, especially reluctant to mention it in front of my little uncle, I grew up with him, nominally my uncle and nephew, but in fact we have a better relationship than many siblings.

I waved my hand anxiously: "Enough, don't say it!" ”

I gave him the box of tea, took a thousand dollars in my bag, told him to bring it to my grandmother, and left.

In the summer of sixteen, that scene came back to me.

That year, there was a family in the village that accepted a daughter-in-law, and the banquet was very rich. A table of friends coaxed, we secretly tasted the shochu, the soju is mixed with brown sugar and pepper, the taste is very good, but who knows that the stamina is very large.

I was drunk and lay on the bamboo mat, dazed, and it was already evening when I woke up.

Fang Jide leaned over to look at me, and as soon as I opened my eyes, he bounced straight as if he had been electrocuted, and he was still holding the edge of the blanket in his hand, which suddenly loosened and covered my face.

He coughed lightly, put his hands behind his back, and hurried out.

At night, I couldn't feel at ease, so I told my grandmother that I had woken up drunk and that there was something dirty underneath my body, and I carefully traced the dirt and showed her the little marks left on the blanket.

My grandmother trembled, sniffed the mark, and then told me to lift my clothes and show her, and by the dim light, my grandmother's eyes fell on a few bruises on my breasts, and she asked me angrily if I slept with a man.

I shuddered, and immediately understood what had happened to me. When my grandmother heard that I woke up and saw Fang Jide, she almost fainted. Shaking his head again and again, he said that it was impossible, he would not do such a thing. Grandma walked out of the room with a pale face, and almost hit the door page as she left.

I turned off the lights and stared blankly into the void. I don't know how long it has been, in a daze, the door was suddenly pushed open, and a little light came into the living room in the dark room. Then Fang Jide's figure shrouded me.

I just wanted to sit up, but Fang Jide strode up to me, suddenly grabbed my arm, and slapped me hard.

The slap was heavier than any other, and half of my face was numb and my ears were ringing.

Fang Jide scolded me angrily, saying that his conscience was eaten by a dog, and he put a pot of on him. I just looked at him so coldly, and his angry appearance was all written about his weak heart, and he was annoyed and angry.

It's not the first time I've been beaten anyway. I didn't move and said, "If you kill me, forget it, if you don't kill me, I'll sue you for rape!" ”

The corners of my mouth hurt like fire, and my speech was slurred, but Fang Jide understood, rolled his sleeves, gritted his teeth and stepped forward again, but was dragged by his grandmother. My grandmother was frightened by our posture and cried and said, "You go back to school, you go back to school quickly." ”

At that time, it had not yet opened, and where could I go back to school. I got up anyway and ran out. I stayed at a classmate's house for a week and school started.

My grandmother sent me money to pay for my tuition, but I didn't say anything, and when I came back from the monthly vacation, I realized that the riot in the middle of the night had made the matter spread a little bit.

But that afternoon, there was a banquet in the village, and it was not like now, the material conditions in the countryside were not very good, and almost all the people in the village went to eat the feast. After that, they all gathered there and waited to watch the shadow puppet show.

At that time, no one came to my house at all. The eldest uncle went to school, and the younger uncle played cards at the home where the banquet was held. There was only Fang Jide alone, and no one saw it after the meal.

And when Fang Jide came back, he didn't see outsiders coming out of my house.

He later went to the neighbors to verify his name, but no one saw anyone come up to my house around that time, and he lifted a stone and shot himself in the foot, which made him even more annoyed and angry. Just say to the outside world that I am ignorant and talk nonsense. It's me who complains, dreams dirty dreams and dreams of dirty things.

Pointing at outsiders, Fang Jide smoked a lot of cigarettes every time he came back from work, and his temper became more and more irritable. Later, he suffered from rheumatism, and he was sick because of drinking all year round.

After I fell out with Fang Jide, I couldn't stay at home anymore, and later went out to work, and I sat on the broken platform.

Only my grandmother knew, and if it weren't for that, I would never have sat on the stage. Compared with being insulted by others, Fang Jide, I have always respected my fearful grandfather, the relatives who raised me, and what I did to me made me despair. I hated myself for being filthy and hated the sins he had inflicted on me.

I didn't go to the store in the afternoon, I went home and slept at home.

After Zhang Bailiang got off work, I told him: "Don't borrow the money first, take some money from a friend, and after paying the fine, it is estimated that there will be some left, and the final payment for the decoration will be given next month when it is open." ”

Zhang Bailiang turned his body and looked me up and down, seeing that I was panicked, he said, "What friend?" ”

"You don't know your former friends."

He then asked, "Who sent you back at noon?" ”

I didn't answer, but Zhang Bailiang then said with a smile: "Today, the doorman asked me how I changed to a luxury car, where can I afford to drive a luxury car, right?" ”

I frowned, not used to his weird look. Anyway, I couldn't hide it, so I simply confessed: "Fu Yankai sent it, it seems that he knows about Xiaorou, so I asked." ”

Zhang Bailiang stopped talking when he heard this. I didn't care, I went to the balcony to collect my clothes and stacked them on the bed. Zhang Bailiang suddenly pushed the door in and threw something on the bed, and I glanced at it, it was on the bank card.

Without looking up, I opened the card, spread out one of his shirts, and said, "What?" ”

"This is my mother's passbook, my Zhang family's store, I don't need his surname Fu to give money!" His tone was heavy, full of indignation.

I shuddered, lifted my eyelids, and saw his gloomy face. My repeated tolerance and concession only fueled his arrogance, and he even omitted the interrogation link and directly condemned me. His ironclad attitude is chilling.

"I repeat, this is what my friend borrowed."

Zhang Bailiang didn't believe it at all, he sneered, and suddenly grabbed me by the collar. I was caught off guard and pulled up by him.

I struggled and scolded, "Let me go!" ”

Zhang Bailiang did not show weakness, and his tone was cold: "If you dare to have anything to do with him again, we will divorce!" ”

He shoved me so hard that before I could get up on the bed, he took his coat from the hanger, shook it hard, and went out.

Divorce, it's ridiculous.

I have never thought of these two words at this point, I tried my best for this family, tolerated his suspicious sensitivity, and didn't even ask him about his entanglement with the woman named Wen Ying, he even beat me up and threatened me with a divorce?

Anger and grievance surged in my chest, as if they were about to burst out. But I just sat there, inexplicably remembering something from a long time ago. I used to blame my grandmother for being too cowardly, she always thought that tolerance could calm things down, and I didn't know how bitter it was until I got to this point of tolerance.

I don't know if it's because I've been numbed by Zhang Bailiang these days, or maybe I have already expected this scene to appear. I wiped my face, took a deep breath and stood up, rewrote and folded the clothes I had just messed up, opened the cabinet and put it inside.

My mother-in-law pushed the door in, I didn't pay attention to it, she followed me, and said expectantly, "Ah Qing, what are you doing when you pack your clothes?" ”

I continued to do my thing: "Don't worry, I won't go back to my mother's house." ”

Suddenly remembering the card, I picked it up from the bed and gave it to her and asked her to put it away.

The mother-in-law squeezed the card tightly and asked again: "Are you really looking for the person surnamed Fu to take money?" ”

"Mom, Zhang Bailiang is confused, are you also confused? I know that Zhang Bailiang is unhappy, and he will go to someone else to get money? "I'm a little impatient.

The mother-in-law said again: "You see, from the beginning, you hid it from him to go to the surnamed Fu to help get the license, and you can't blame Bailiang for his suspicionsβ€”β€”? ”

I sneered, and my mother-in-law immediately stopped talking. On the surface, he seemed to see that I was wronged, and his attitude was cautious, but in fact, he didn't believe me in his heart. What a family!

After closing the cabinet door, I took my pajamas and looked at her calmly: "You rest early, I'm going to take a shower." ”

Zhang Bailiang didn't enter the house again that night, and I don't know if he went out or slept on the living room sofa.

In the next few days, I went as planned to pay the fine and prepare for the reopening. No matter what happens at home, this shop is my heart's work, and I will not give it up for anything.

I fell into a cold war with Zhang Bailiang, he ignored me, and I didn't even have the mood to explain. This opening is also familiar, and there is no rush. I can do it all on my own.

The store has done a free private room and a free drink event, plus it has already distributed flyers before. So every night until about eight o'clock, some old customers came in one after another. It's not too busy, the waiters in the store can handle it, and I also took a place at the front desk to register and greet customers.

For a few days, it was up to two o'clock in the morning every night. On Friday night, I don't know if it was my conscience or because I was nagged by my mother-in-law, Zhang Bailiang actually went to the store after work and told me to go back to rest. I was really tired in those days, I had to sort out the accounts and get the goods during the day, and I didn't have time to sleep at night.

I had just left the market on a motorcycle, and the front desk suddenly called: "Sister Qing, there is someone making trouble in the store, do you want to come back?" ”

I switched my bike to a meeting, and the store was already in chaos, and the security guards at the market had heard the noise. A few pots of fortune trees in the hall were crooked, I pushed through the crowd and went in, and a man picked up a broken tile from nowhere, pointed at Zhang Bailiang, and was arguing with him.

When I looked at it, wasn't that the eldest nephew of my cousin's family? Looking at this posture, I'm afraid I'm going to come to ask his mother for an explanation.

Zhang Bailiang estimated that he was in a bad mood and his tone was very bad, and several people had already rushed up as they spoke. I was helping to pull the frame, Zhang Bailiang suddenly let out a miserable howl, I turned my head to see that the eldest nephew smashed Zhang Bailiang's leg with a tile.
