Chapter 59: The Secret of Yuqin
Before I returned to my hometown, I promised Uncle Feng's family that I would definitely find a reliable relative for them to come to the family to help, and the character and character of these two people must also withstand the interview of Uncle Feng's family. With this commitment and requirement, the task of selecting relatives has become not so easy to complete, although there are many relatives in my hometown, and there are many women who can work freely, but it is not easy to find someone who is stable and reliable.
Those men who were able to work and were in good health were all working outside, and some of the remaining men were old, weak, sick and disabled, and when they heard that it was a grave job, they were unlucky and unwilling to go, so I had to inquire slowly and look for it. The time spent in my hometown was also a week longer than the original three days, and finally I finally found Yuqin.
The two of them are a pair of real people, honest in life and work, and they are also very diligent in their work. Sister Yuqin, you don't need me to say more, you've seen her, she is quick with her hands and feet, she is diligent, she just doesn't like to talk much, and she belongs to the kind of angry old man who has been bullied by others in the village and doesn't dare to speak out. Her man has the same personality as her, but his body is not as good as her, the whole person is dark and thin, and he is panting and snoring after working for a long time, and he can't do any heavy work, and he has never had the opportunity to go to the city to work.
Her family relies on Yuxiu sister to take the lead, and the dirty work in the field is all done by her, you know, there is no money to be made from farming in this year, even if Yuqin girl is diligent, it is useless. In the days when there was no money, the most bitter thing was his two school-going daughters, who were in high school and had good academic performance, but the family was too difficult.
Usually, these two girls are dressed in tatters, and they don't have anything to dress up that other girls should have, and they can't wear a new dress all year round. Seeing that the child is about to go to university, but the family really has no money, and the family will starve if he continues to study, whether he can read or not has become a frequent talk in his family. For this reason, Yuqin and his man were anxious to turn white, and the two girls often secretly wiped their tears.
I don't have any children myself, I want to go to school when I was young, my family has no money, I know the uncomfortable feeling of being forced to leave school, and I also understand the pain caused by no culture, so I feel very sorry for the two girls and the Yuqin sister's family, so I want to help the family, and I told them about going to the city to work.
At first, I was worried that Yuqin's men would be in poor health and would avoid going to the cemetery to see the grave, but after they found out about it, they agreed without even thinking about it. I wasn't sure if Uncle Feng's family could look down on these two people, so I could only take them to Wudu with the heart of giving it a try. Alas, who would have known that my kindness actually killed her man.
After they came to Wudu with me, Uncle Feng's family was very satisfied with the two of them, and Ma Zhipeng's brother and daughter-in-law quickly signed a labor contract with them, and the work assigned to them was the same as what I told me. Yuqin followed her to stay at Uncle Feng's house, as a live-in nanny, responsible for daily cleaning and food for the whole family, while her man went to the Western Suburbs Cemetery as an administrator, responsible for the reception of daily personnel and vehicles and night guards, both of which were in charge of food and housing.
Moreover, Ma Zhipeng's brother-in-law gave Yuqin and his family a lot of wages, which was enough for them to pay their children to school and pay off debts. At that time, the three of us were very happy and felt that we had met a noble person this time.
Especially Yuqin, her personality has become much more lively, and sometimes she will take the initiative to tell me some jokes, she is very diligent in doing things every day, and she always helps me share some of the work of the confinement lady. I know that she especially wants to work in Uncle Feng's house for a long time, and wants to earn more money to save for her daughter's tuition, and he is also a man, I heard that he is a very good person and diligent, and the eldest sister often praises him.
At that time, Yuqin's men often came to visit her on weekends, but he never came upstairs to the house. Because Ma Zhipeng and his younger brother are very superstitious, and there are many taboos in the family, Yuqin's man works in the cemetery, and they are afraid that the ghost energy contaminated by him will frighten pregnant women and children, so they only let her man see her outside, and do not let Yuqin go to the cemetery in the western suburbs to visit him.
After a while, probably when the twins were more than two months old, I found that the Yuqin girl was hiding and wiping her tears, and sometimes the whole person would be inexplicably in a daze. At this time, I remembered that her man hadn't come to see her for a long time, so it couldn't be that there was something wrong with the relationship between the two people, right? So, I asked her what happened, but I asked many times what happened at home, and she always kept her head down and refused to say.
At that time, he just thought that there was something wrong with their relationship, and it was his man who had a good relationship outside, so Yuqin secretly shed tears. For this reason, I have also advised her many times not to think about anything, if there is anything, it is good for the two of them to meet and talk about it. At that time, the two children of Uncle Feng's family were very young, and taking care of them and the eldest sister all day long was already tiring and breathless, since she was unwilling to tell me the truth, there was no need to continue to ask, after all, the relationship is a matter of the two of them, they have been husband and wife for so many years, and I believe that anything can get through.
However, the weekend before Uncle Feng's family disappeared, Yuqin took leave to see his man, and when she came back in the evening, I felt that something was wrong with her, her face was pale, her lips were blue, her eyes were blank, she looked completely depressed, and she either took the wrong one or brought down that one, which was obviously wrong.
So, I asked her in private: What's wrong with you? Did something happen to your man? Or is there something going on at home? She still bit her lip and lowered her head and didn't answer. I thought that when she went to look for him, she bumped into his man and his good friend, so the whole thing would become like this. At that time, Uncle Feng's family was at home, and I was afraid that she would be embarrassed to let the master's family know about this kind of thing, and I was afraid that she would be embarrassed, so I didn't continue to ask, but went to sleep first.
The layout of Uncle Feng's house is a large duplex, the nanny's room is on the first floor, and their family rests on the second floor. In the middle of the night, I was awakened by the shouting of Yuqin in the next room, and rushed over to take a look only to find that she was having a nightmare. She looked like she had been taken up by an evil ghost, her mouth was tightly closed, her teeth were clenched and her eyes were closed, her skin was blue, her white hands were tightly gripping the quilt, her legs were kicking around, her body was shaking violently, and her mouth was still shouting: Don't catch me, don't catch my daughter, don't kill my husband! Please, please!
