Chapter 33: Heartbreak
Liu Meibao couldn't help but shed tears when she said it.
"Auntie, don't talk about the past..."She took a few deep breaths and choked up, "It's just Qingya....."
Song Sanniang didn't listen to her anymore, and slammed the door when she entered the house.
Liu Meibao stood in the courtyard in a daze, her body trembling slightly, and the medicine in her hand fell to the ground.
She turned around and ran out, she was not familiar with this village, and asked a few people to find out where the chief's house was.
"What was sold and bought?" The eldest daughter-in-law said with a stunned face.
Liu Meibao didn't want to talk to her, she just wanted to go in the door to find Qingya, and the eldest daughter-in-law looked at her and seemed to be smiling.
"I said, Miss Liu, don't you look down on our family? Why did you rush here in a hurry? She smiled, her eyes flickering.
Now the family can't get by...
The eldest daughter-in-law said in her heart, her eyes were on Liu Meibao, to say that this girl is still a little unsightly, her breasts are small and her buttocks are thin, she will not be able to give birth in the future, who will let her son like it, she is young now, and she is poor this year, maybe it will be good to make up for it in the future.
Liu Meibao was stunned by her footsteps, gritting her teeth and still taking steps.
"Mabel! Give me back! Song Sanniang shouted behind her.
Liu Meibao ignored her.
"Qingya is not here." Song Sanniang continued.
Liu Meibao paused.
"It was bought by an outsider." When Song Sanniang saw her stop, she also stopped and said lightly, "Do you believe it or not." ”
Then turn around and leave.
Liu Meibao hesitated for a moment, then turned around and caught up.
"Auntie, where is it sold?" She bit her lip and grabbed Song Sanniang's arm and begged.
Song Sanniang ignored her, shook her off and walked away.
Is it sold? Never to see you again? Say no, it's gone?
Shen Liumei remembered that her mother's bad news came so suddenly, the person who was still standing at the door when she went to school in the morning and saw her off with a smile on her face was lying in the morgue of the hospital for only half a day, crying and shouting and never waking up again.
So much so that for a long, long time, she thought she was dreaming, and when she woke up, she was still the little girl who was wearing pigtails and carrying a flower schoolbag, and she could see her mother coming to pick her up.
As is often the case later, the things you like are always lost suddenly.
Mom's rag doll, a collection of flower candy paper villain book.....
"These are old..."
"It's all rubbish..."
The woman who was asked by her father to call her mother always said with a smile like this.
"Auntie bought a good one for Xiaomei..."
It wasn't until that time that the big yellow dog that her grandfather gave her that she had raised for four years was gone, and her emotions finally collapsed.
"It's unhygienic to have a dog..."Auntie said with a smile, "Auntie bought a little goldfish for Xiaomei, how beautiful it looks in the house..."
Shen Liumei, who never said a word, ran away from home, she asked everyone who knew where the big yellow dog went, walked down the street, out of the city, in the cold night of the winter night, the little figure dangled stubbornly on the rugged village road, not knowing where to come and not seeing the end.
She fell ill after Tianming was found, but in the end she was unable to find her dog.
She never mentioned it again, and she never liked anything again.
If you don't like it, you're not afraid of losing it.
Tears fell into the ashes of the stove, splashing a small bead, Liu Meibao reached out and wiped her tears twice, picked up the medicine pot, and poured the black decoction into the bowl.
Seeing her come in, Song Sanniang didn't speak, and carefully helped Zhou Liangyu up.
"Mother, I want to eat the dried fruits dried by Xie Laosan's family.." Zhou Liangyu said suddenly, looking at Song Sanniang, "The medicine is so bitter." ”
A hint of pampering appeared on Song Sanniang's face, and she withdrew her hand to receive the medicine bowl.
"Okay, my mother will go and ask for a few for you." She said, standing up.
Liu Meibao lowered her head, didn't speak, put down the medicine bowl, put the bedding behind Zhou Liangyu, pulled over the stool and sat on the edge of the bed, and went out listening to the footsteps of Song Sanniang.
"Sister .." Zhou Liangyu didn't take the medicine she sent, and his face was anxious and apologetic.
"Take your medicine." Liu Meibao lowered her head and said in a muffled voice.
"I heard it, it was someone from the city, a man and a woman, who said it was from the Wu family...."Zhou Liangyu said, while raising his hand to take the medicine bowl himself, "I'll eat it myself." ”
"Wu family?" Liu Meibao raised her head, "Which Wu family?" ”
"The one in the Wu family store in the city." Zhou Liangyu said, nodding his head, as if to confirm his memory, "Yes, it's their family, I heard my mother call Dayou, Wu Dayou, he is the housekeeper of the Wu family, I still remember him." ”
Liu Meibao stood up suddenly, was stunned for a moment, and slowly sat down again.
"Sister, I can take medicine myself..."Zhou Liangyu said busily.
"Since I know which family it is, and it's in the city, I'm not in a hurry to go immediately, if it's late today, if I go now, my aunt won't be worried...."She took back the medicine bowl and said slowly, "I'll go early tomorrow morning." ”
Zhou Liangyu's face was even more ashamed.
"Sister, I'm sorry.." He said with his head bowed.
"I don't care about my brother." Liu Meibao squeezed out a smile and said, scooping a spoonful of decoction medicine and feeding him.
"Mother can't help it..."Zhou Liangyu hesitated for a moment, hung his head and said lowly, "I'm sick, I can't live here, it's really ...... to rent a house to eat, drink and chew."
In their eyes, Qingya is a slave in the end, in fact, she should have been sold as early as when she lost her family, if it was really Liu Meibao, she would not care, she must have been sold to the eldest family as a daughter-in-law last time.
It is reasonable and normal to sell this slave and maid, get money, and have one less mouth to eat.
Liu Meibao lowered her head and didn't speak, knowing this truth and accepting this reality are completely different things.
"How much did it sell?" She asked in a low voice.
"I didn't hear you in the house." Zhou Liangyu didn't know, and said with a little apology.
Liu Meibao didn't ask anymore, one was silent to feed the medicine, and the other was silent to take the medicine.
Song Sanniang came back soon, Zhou Liangyu just finished taking the medicine, and Liu Meibao went out with a bowl.
In the depths of the night, the sound of weaving sounded for a long time.
Early the next morning, after cooking and boiling the medicine, Liu Meibao went out.
"Where are you going?" Song Sanniang asked.
"In the city." Liu Meibao replied.
Song Sanniang immediately knew what was going on, and her face was covered with a layer of frost.
"Don't go." She shouted.
Liu Meibao ignored it and left without looking back.
"If you go, don't come back!" Song Sanniang was so angry that she trembled all over, and shouted after her.
"Mother!" Zhou Liangyu's anxious voice came from the room.
Song Sanniang endured it and didn't scold anymore, watching Liu Meibao walk away, and lowered her head to make the sound of the cloth pulp in her hand.
Liu Meibao first arrived at the Wu family store, it was still early at this time, not long after the store opened, a few guys were laughing while cleaning up the counter, and suddenly saw a girl wearing Ge Mai standing at the door and looking, their Wu family store is doing the business of rich people, and the girl in front of her is not even a rich maid.
"Go, go, go, what to see, do you see anything?" A guy waved his sleeves to drive away.
But I saw that the girl did not walk away as she said, but walked in.
