Chapter 2 Little Warmth
The man who committed the murder was not caught, so the Wang family wanted to spill their anger on Lin Ji's body. Lin Ji is also a weak character, she has been losing and retreating, and even her reputation has been almost ruined by several people in the Wang family.
Lin Ji thought about it yesterday and a bottle of wine to relieve her inner grievances, but she never thought about her sister-in-law Wang Ruolan's way. After she was drunk by Wang Ruolan, she was directly thrown on the road in the village, and now the people in the village want to imagine themselves as a terrible bad woman.
Lin Ji sighed heavily, what is this called.
Originally, it was just a man stealing fish, but it just made her stand up for the cause and effect, which was really unlucky when she drank cold water and stuffed her teeth.
"Sister of the Lin family." Someone knocked softly on the door outside, and the voice was obviously a man's voice, but it was very gentle and polite.
Lin Ji sighed, glanced through the crack in the door, and found that it was the next-door neighbor who came, so he hesitated and bolted the door.
"Brother Zhou, why did you come here at this time?" She frowned, leaned half in the doorway, and asked with some hesitation. Lin Ji is now the time when she hasn't picked it up yet, and if people see her putting a man into the house, she doesn't know what the rumors will become.
Although Lin Ji doesn't particularly care about this aspect, she doesn't want to delay other people's reputation in vain.
The man outside the door was tall, and his swarthy face looked delicate and thoughtful under the bright moonlight. This man is Zhou Dasheng, who lives next door to Lin Jiao, a widower, and only has a four-year-old daughter under his knees, and he has been living with his little daughter. Zhou Dasheng's family has a lot of property, with ten acres of land and an orchard behind the mountain, which can be said to be the sweetness in the eyes of the unmarried women in the village, but I don't know what he thinks, in short, he has never remarried.
"I'll bring you something to eat, Xiaohua has been thinking about bringing you snacks, so I'll put her to sleep and come back." Zhou Dasheng smiled, and there were two small smile vortices at the corners of his mouth.
Lin Ji relaxed a little and said, "No need......
As soon as she finished speaking, as if to cater to her, her stomach rumbled. Although the sound is not loud, it can be heard clearly in the night.
Zhou Dasheng's smile deepened, pushed the small basket in his hand forward, and said, "I won't embarrass you, you take me and go back." Sister of the Lin family, I want to warn you, don't embarrass yourself because of other people's mistakes. ”
Lin Ji subconsciously took the small basket, and when she came back to her senses, she only saw Zhou Dasheng's back slowly disappearing in the darkness.
"This man ......," she muttered, not saying anything.
In the past, Lin Jiao, a small village girl, couldn't see it, but as a modern person with a lot of experience, she knew everything. It stands to reason that even if her husband dies, others should call her "Wang family", but Zhou Dasheng persistently calls "Lin family sister", what he thinks in his heart is really obvious.
It's just that Zhou Dasheng has no deviant behavior, nor does he have bad intentions, Lin Ji can only think about this matter in his heart, it is difficult to say.
Lin Ji didn't want to touch the basket of food, but unfortunately she searched all over the house and didn't find anything edible to eat. Even the rice in the rice bowl is moldy, and those who don't know think it's an uninhabited house.
Lin Ji knew that the rice in this rice jar was originally fresh. Sister-in-law Wang Ruolan always relies on her to have a key, and comes in every once in a while to make trouble, pouring a large bottle of boiling water in the rice jar today, and throwing away all the dry firewood in the stove tomorrow.
If it weren't for Zhou Dasheng coming to help him every now and then, it remains to be said whether Lin Ji would survive until this time and still be alive.
Thinking of this, Lin Ji lifted the layer of floral cloth that was covering the food basket.
"Eh......" As soon as she saw the dishes inside, she couldn't help but swallow.
Zhou Dasheng's rich family is really not just talking, there is not only a big bowl of braised pork in it, but also two children's favorite French egg cake. Nowadays, both meat and cake are common things to eat, but thirty years ago, it was a rare delicacy.
Lin Ji was not hypocritical, and when she lifted the chopsticks, she fed herself eighty percent full.
"I don't know if there are any demons and monsters who will come to harass me tomorrow, and if I don't eat a little bit today, I don't even have the strength to deal with them......" She patted her slightly bulging belly and smiled to make an excuse for herself.
Originally, Lin Ji always had a habit of going out after eating, but thinking about the hostility towards Lin Ji in this village, she still gave up.
After practicing a set of yoga poses in the house, she thought about finding something for herself to do.
Lin Ji found half a charcoal pen and mottled white paper on the shabby small desk, so she lay down on the table and started her old business according to the memories in her head.
Originally, she just wanted to pass the time, but when she finished a painting, she found out that she had actually painted a portrait of Zhou Xiaohua, the youngest daughter of Zhou Dasheng's family.
"It seems that this little girl still left a good impression on 'me'......" I don't know whether it was joy or anger, Lin Ji shook her head slightly.
She doesn't hate children in her heart, it's just that this child is involved with Zhou Dasheng, who has ideas, and she always has to be cautious.
Lin Ji thought about it, and then crumpled the portrait in his hand slightly. Halfway through the group, she changed her mind again, put the drawing paper back on the table and laid it out, looking at the innocent little girl on it, Lin Ji also raised her eyebrows and smiled.
Well, it's also her first work since she came to this world. What a shame to lose.
Didn't it mean that the kid liked himself very much, and even Zhou Dasheng came to deliver food at Zhou Xiaohua's request. Then it doesn't matter if you give someone a picture as a thank you gift.
Thinking so, Lin Ji made the decision to send the painting out.
She gradually felt a little sleepy, and she lay down on the old wooden bed. The creaking sound was tooth-aching, as if the whole bed was going to collapse in the next moment.
In the end, the bed still persevered through the weather, and let Lin Ji unexpectedly sleep well. She was not a picky person who chose to sleep at a table, and today she did experience a lot of joys and sorrows, so she fell asleep calmly and calmly.
The next day, Lin Ji slept until three poles in the sun before opening her eyes, and she was still awakened by the sun.
"It's over, and I made an appointment for a painting class today...... It's going to be there before eight o'clock......" Lin Ji touched her phone as soon as she opened her eyes, muttering anxiously.
She paused in the middle of speaking, looking at the scene around her that was no different from yesterday, and she slowly smiled bitterly.
