"Ahh Li Wenqing exclaimed in surprise and stepped back.

"Hey, hey, hey......" There was a treacherous laugh outside the door, listening to this voice, it's not Ma Xiaowu, who else could it be?" Hey, little lady, open the door! Your brother, I'm here to comfort you......"

"You! What do you want? Li Wenqing retreated to the side of the bed, but she didn't dare to speak loudly, for fear of waking up Li Chu'er on the bed.

"What do you say I want to do! In the middle of the night, I'll pick up the window of your house, what else can I do, I'll teach you how to give birth to a baby! Ma Xiaowu seemed to have arrived at the door, he took out a knife, reached into the crack of the door, and was pulling the deadbolt little by little.

"You go! Otherwise, I'll call someone! Li Wenqing looked left and right in the room, trying to find something to defend herself, but looking for it, but there was nothing, after thinking about it, she ran to the embroidery frame and grabbed the small scissors she used when doing work, and put them across her chest.

"You're shouting, you're shouting! You shout and give it a try, who in the village doesn't know that you are a big girl with yellow flowers, and you gave birth to a milk doll before you got married, you should be stupid for everyone! You unruly woman, what are you pretending to be innocent! The head of your bed has been trampled by those wild men, what are you pretending! Ma Xiaowu scolded while pulling the deadbolt.

Seeing that the door bolt was about to be opened, Li Wenqing was so anxious that she cried, she whimpered, and pressed the scissors to her neck, "You come in again, I will stab myself to death if you come in again!" ”

"Stab yourself? You're dead, you're big. Prostitute. The son is dead, leaving your little behind. Son, I see how she lives! Ma Xiaowu squirted feces in his mouth, Li Wenqing listened to it, and only felt that his heart was like a knife.

With a heart, she held the scissors to her chest, pointed her head towards the door, and walked over.

When the deadbolt was opened, a muffled snort was heard outside the door, and a person fell in.

"Ahh Li Wenqing was startled and took two steps back, and the man just fell at her feet.

"Ahem...... cough outside, Li Wenqing looked up, it was actually Uncle Zheng next door, his face was even paler under the moonlight, there was no crutches in his hand, one hand was covering his waist, and the other hand was still punching, as if he had just knocked Ma Xiaowu unconscious.

Li Wenqing saw that blood was oozing out of his waist, and cried out in a lost voice: "It's you?" ”

Uncle Zheng shook his body twice, smiled weakly at her, waved his hand, turned around and staggered towards the wall.

Li Wenqing couldn't care about Ma Xiaowu under her feet, ran past him to the gate of the courtyard, unlocked the door, and said shyly: "Uncle Zheng, you go to the gate, your injuries are not healed, and it is inconvenient to climb over the wall." ”

Uncle Zheng turned back and said as he walked out of the courtyard, "Thank you." ”

Li Wenqing let go of her body and lowered her head, "No, no, I should thank you!" ”

Uncle Zheng smiled, no longer answered, and walked out of the yard by holding on to the wall, Li Wenqing stood in place, looking at his back, he was thin and thin in the moonlight, and he looked so weak, Li Wenqing somehow felt a faint pain in his heart.

"Oops!" Ma Xiaowu, who was lying on the ground, groaned, and he slowly got up, as if he didn't understand how he fainted.

Li Wenqing raised the scissors in her hand, protected them on her chest, and glared at Ma Xiaowu.

"How did I end up here?" Ma Xiaowu looked around in a daze, frowned and thought, and after thinking for a while, he pointed at Li Wenqing with a frightened face, "Ghost!" You're a ghost, you've got a ghost in your house! Your whole family is a ghost! ”

Before he could finish speaking, he got up from the ground and stumbled towards the courtyard, shouting as he ran: "Ghost, there is a ghost!" ”

Wu's sister-in-law's house next door to the east heard the sound, came out of the house with an oil lamp, stood on the wall, and saw Ma Xiaowu running out of the courtyard with a ghost roaring and screaming.

"Wenqing? What's going on? Sister-in-law Wu asked.

Li Wenqing hurriedly put away the scissors in her hand, and said with a sad smile: "Sister-in-law Wu, it's okay, it's a thief!" ”

Sister-in-law Wu pursed her lips, "Hey, Wenqing, I didn't say you, you are a woman living with a daughter, it's not such a thing after all!" If you have a man in the house, can those stealers knock on your window every night? Although Xu Dazhuang is ugly, he is an honest man! ”

Li Wenqing frowned when she heard Sister-in-law Wu mention Xu Dazhuang again, but she still had a smile on her face, "Sister-in-law Wu can't help it, it's disturbing your house, go back to sleep quickly, you have to get up early tomorrow!" ”

After speaking, he went to lock the courtyard door, never looked at Sister-in-law Wu again, and turned around and entered the house.

Lying on the bed in the dark, Li Wenqing's tears fell like beads with broken threads, thinking of what Ma Xiaowu said, the words cut her heart like a knife.

Although you don't have to take the words of a second slipper to heart, but as the saying goes, there is no wind and no waves, if the whole village doesn't say so, how can a second slipper make up such evidence-based words?

She glanced at the sleeping Li Chu'er again, and gently brushed the messy hair on her forehead. She is not afraid that she will be wronged, what kind of grievance has she not suffered after all these years? Her heart was already as hard as a rock.

But what she was afraid of was that Li Chu'er was wronged. Every time the children in the school bullied her, saying that she was a wild seed without a father, and when she came home crying, Li Wenqing felt like a knife.

Why do these adults and children dare to bully their mother and daughter, isn't it because there is no man in charge in the family? But if you really follow that Xu Dazhuang, can you do it?

Li Wenqing felt like a dead heart when she thought about it, although the current life is hard, but the mother and daughter depend on each other, and there are many happy times.

She just thought about it and cried, and when she saw that the sky was gradually getting brighter, Li Chu'er beside her twisted her body, yawned, rubbed her eyes and shouted, "Mother, I want to pee......"

Li Wenqing wiped away her tears and pulled the sleepy Li Chu'er, "Good Chu'er, get out of bed to pee, you are so old, are you still like wetting the bed when you were a child?" ”

Li Chu'er was reluctant to open her eyes, and finally couldn't hold it anymore, so she got out of bed.

Li Wenqing had already dressed and opened the door, the outside of the house was already bright, and Xiao Huang and Xiao Bai were "clucking" in the chicken coop, as if they were begging for food.

Li Chu'er was slowly dressing, rubbing her eyes and looking out, not noticing that her mother's eyes were swollen like two peaches.

"Mother, why don't our Xiaohuang and Xiaobai scream ......like Aunt Wu's big red?" Li Chu'er asked her mother who was combing her braids.

"Xiao Huang and Xiao Bai are hens, my mother bought them back for laying eggs, eggs for you to eat, you can be tall and strong, no one dares to bully you!" Li Wenqing said softly.

"Oh, is that big red a rooster? The rooster doesn't lay eggs, so he crows? Does a hen lay eggs so she clucks? Li Chu'er asked softly.

"Yes, the hen only 'clucks' after laying eggs to tell her owner that she has laid eggs." Li Wenqing replied.

"Oops! Did Xiao Huang and Xiao Bai lay eggs? I've got to check it out! Li Chu'er stood up and ran towards the courtyard.

"Hey...... Ay! The pigtails haven't been tied yet! Li Wenqing was still grabbing her hair, afraid that she would be in pain, so she quickly let go.

Li Chu'er squatted by the chicken coop and touched it for a long time, and really found two eggs, she shouted happily, "Mother, look, Xiaohuang and Xiaobai have really laid eggs!" ”

Without waiting for Li Wenqing to answer, she ran to the bottom of the wall again, jumped and shouted at the Zheng family on the other side of the wall, "Uncle Zheng, Uncle Zheng, my Xiaohuang and Xiaobai have laid eggs!" ”

Li Wenqing hurriedly stopped her, "Don't scream, your Uncle Zheng shouldn't have gotten up yet!" You go and freshen up, I'll cook for you, and go to the school after eating! ”

Li Wenqing snatched the egg from her hand and walked to the stove. She plans to use one egg to spread a cake for Li Chu'er, and keep the other one, and make a bowl of egg soup for the next door later, seeing that he bled so much last night, I don't know if it matters.

After serving Li Chu'er to finish breakfast, she washed two of the freshly picked red pinches in the backyard and put them in her schoolbag, Li Wenqing sent her to the gate of the courtyard, and saw her running with her schoolbag on her back, and the schoolbag slapped on her buttocks, and couldn't help laughing, "Chu'er, you slow down!" You've squeezed the red pestle, I'll see how you eat it! ”
