Chapter 38: Tearing Up the Marriage Contract
readx;? At noon on the ninth day of Liu Ma's sleep, the rotten-eyed Xue Laohan walked into Xiaojing's house, he didn't pay attention to Liu Ma's condition, just stood stupidly for a few seconds, shook his arm and left. Before leaving, the pen & fun & pavilion www.biquge.info muttered an unbelievable sentence in his mouth---- "The child is going to cry, the child is going to cry......"
Mother Chunhua and Qiao Xiaojing didn't know what this old man Xue meant, and the two looked out of the house in amazement, and sighed for a long time.
About half an hour after the rotten old man walked out of Qiao Xiaojing's house, Liu Ma closed his eyes, suddenly moved his head, and then kicked his legs hard, saying things like "good, good" in his mouth, and suddenly opened his eyes.
At this time, Xiaojing was going to Shuangxi's house with Shuangxi, to borrow a sieve to sift cornmeal, only her mother Chunhua was by Liu Ma's side, and when she saw Liu Ma finally wake up, she screamed with joy.
After calming down a little, her mother Chunhua stepped forward and asked, "How are you now, do you feel better?"
"Hungry," Liu Ma said weakly, "I'm very hungry, I feel empty and want to eat." ”
Mother Chunhua was overjoyed, ran out of the main house, rushed into the kitchen with an arrow, and deliberately took out the wheat flour from the tank that was originally intended to be used for the New Year.
Mother Chunhua was busy in the kitchen, mixing noodles for a while, adding firewood to the stove for a while, in short, she was very busy.
In less than two quarters of an hour, the hand-rolled noodles of my mother Chunhua were already out of the pot, poured vegetable soup, mixed with stir-fried vegetables, and covered with a poached egg, which suddenly overflowed with an attractive aroma.
When her mother Chunhua brought the rice to the main house, Liu Ma sat cross-legged on the kang, took the steaming noodles, and devoured them. Chunhua, who was standing on the side, stared at Liu Ma, tears of joy swirling in her eyes.
In this way, Liu Ma ate four bowls of noodles and an egg without getting off the kang.
After eating the noodles, Liu Ma had a ruddy complexion and full of energy, put on the faded blue shirt used by the second aunt of the goddess Huang to summon the spirit, put on a black cotton jacket, and walked on the ground with a dry tobacco pot in his mouth, and would burp from time to time.
"It's really scary," Chunhua said as she cleaned up the table, "During this time, you have been lying day and night, neither opening your eyes nor making a sound, I am so anxious to die all day long, and I don't know what is wrong with you, let alone what to do?"
"I don't know what's going on. Liu Ma prevaricated, "I remember that day when I went out, I went to the back mountain, trying my luck to see if I could catch any wild things, probably because of the cold weather, I didn't encounter any wild things, and soon it was dark, and I walked slowly until midnight." But I didn't encounter anything on the way, so who knows why it was like this?"
Liu Ma continued to wander around, and said thoughtfully: "Has anything happened in the village recently, is there anything about our family, I have been lying for a few days, but I don't know anything." ”
In fact, the reason why Liu Ma asked this question is very simple, he just wanted to test Chunhua's tone, see if Hongxing came to the door to find trouble, and wanted to know if Hongxing had spread the word about his voyeurism.
"It's not a big deal," Chunhua said with a smile, "It's just that Hongxing's brain seems to be stimulated, and she can't cry alone at every turn, but it's okay now." The biggest thing in our family is you, if you wake up, our family will be fine. ”
"That's good," Liu Ma stood at the door with his hands behind his back, looked out of the house, and said lightly, "That's good! Why haven't I seen Xiaojing for a long time, isn't she at home?"
"Before you woke up, Shuangxi and they just left," said her mother Chunhua, "I asked Xiaojing to borrow a sieve from Shuangxi's house to sift the corn that I picked up some time ago, and there were a lot of lumps." It should be back soon, and Xiaojing won't delay too long. ”
"What kind of sieve to borrow?" Liu Ma's face changed instantly, and he said angrily, "When it's okay, can't you just pick and choose, do you have to use a sieve to sieve?" Besides, can't these companies borrow a sieve, do they have to run so far?"
"Two children all the way," Chunhua saw that Liu Ma was emotional, and hurriedly persuaded, "I didn't think about it so much." Okay, you just woke up, you should relax and recuperate, don't worry about such trivial things, we just don't borrow it in the future. ”
Mother Chunhua persuaded her with kind words, and Liu Ma's mood eased a little, so she brought the dishes and chopsticks into the kitchen, and muttered in her heart while washing: "This illness is indeed not light, although I have woken up, it seems that my mind has not fully recovered, and I even forgot about Xiaojing and Shuangxi's relatives, and it is normal for the little couple to come and go, why is it too far away......
Just when Liu Ma was angry, Qiao Xiaojing said goodbye to Qiao Baocai's wife and future mother-in-law, and walked out of Qiao's house with Qiao Shuangxi and Qiao Shuangxi. Along the way, the two talked and laughed, and from time to time you squeezed me, I squeezed you, and even intimacy.
Seeing that he was about to arrive at the door of Xiaojing's house, this Qiao Shuangxi looked around, found that there was no one else on the road, secretly stretched out his hand, and grabbed Qiao Xiaojing's hand, at this moment, Qiao Xiaojing was like an electric shock, nervously and violently retracted his hand.
Qiao Xiaojing blushed, secretly looked around, when she was sure that there was no one else around, she smiled and picked up the sieve to make a posture to hit Qiao Shuangxi, Qiao Shuangxi ran when she saw this, Qiao Xiaojing chased after her, laughing, and extremely happy.
The two ran into the courtyard one after another, and Liu Ma was standing at the door of the main house, with a cold expression and a cold and angry look in his eyes.
Qiao Xiaojing and Qiao Shuangxi saw that Liu Ma had woken up and was in good spirits, so they were shocked first and then rejoiced, and competed to express their blessings.
Liu Ma always had a black face, and without waiting for the children to finish speaking, he said with a straight face: "I don't think it is very suitable for the two of you to be together, the marriage has to be discussed in the long run, go back and tell your family, we will return the bride price." ”
Qiao Xiaojing, Qiao Shuangxi, and Chunhua, who was cleaning up the kitchen, were all stunned, and they all looked at Liu Ma dumbfounded.
This Liu Ma then said coldly: "Don't be too surprised, there is nothing to be surprised about, this matter is so decided, my children can't marry into your Qiao family, let alone call Qiao Baocai father, as for the reason, I think you will know in the future." ”
Including her mother Chunhua, the three people standing in the courtyard suddenly felt like they had encountered a thunderbolt from the sky, their thoughts no longer turned, and their minds were blank, as if the air had frozen, time had stopped, and life had been suffocated.
About a quarter of an hour later, Qiao Shuangxi sighed, shook his head and ran out of the courtyard of Qiao Xiaojing's house.
Qiao Baocai's family heard Liu Ma's request to dissolve the marriage contract, the whole family was very puzzled, Qiao Baocai couldn't understand it, he thought that with his wealth and power, no villager dared to do anything tricking, this matter was undoubtedly a great shame for him.
And Qiao Xiaojing also felt that without warning, she fell from heaven on earth into the abyss in an instant, her heart was depressed, she was confused day and night, she felt tasteless eating and drinking, boring life, and boring life.
After being rescued by Liu Ma by hanging, Qiao Xiaojing slowly quieted down, like a skin that had lost her soul all day long.
Qiao Baocai didn't want to tear his face with Liu Ma, after all, the two children were not officially married, and there was a matchmaker in the middle, so he sent the matchmaker to Xiaojing's house to ask for an explanation.
It didn't take long for the matchmaker to come back with a straight face, sitting on the table and shaking her head, under Qiao Baocai's repeated urging, the matchmaker said a few words, and then got up and left in frustration.
Qiao Baocai, who was sitting in the main room, thought about what Shuangxi said when he came back, and thought about what the matchmaker said, he vaguely felt that Liu Ma's insistence on retiring from the marriage might have a lot to do with him, as for the specific reason, he didn't plan to ask someone to inquire, of course, it was impossible for him to go to negotiate in person, because he had already decided to suspend his relationship with Hongxing, not to mention others?
One day, the township held a "Winter Cold Prevention and Theft Prevention Work Conference" and asked Qiao Baocai to attend the meeting.
Qiao Baocai knew that he had to pass through the back wall of Hongxing's house to go to the township, so he was very cautious, and looked ahead while walking forward, and when he saw that Hongxing was still sitting on the curb, he tried his best to get on the wheat field above the dirt road, and walked forward along the wheat field with one shallow foot, until he bypassed Hongxing, and then climbed and rolled back to the road from the earth cliff.
Qiao Baocai, who returned to the road again, won a victory, patted the dust on his body, straightened his waist, held his hands behind his back, hummed the northwest minor tune, took the figure-eight steps, and walked forward leisurely......
This daughter-in-law, Hongxing, became more and more depressed, her eyes became more and more dull, her body seemed to have no muscles and bones, her skin was yellow, her hair was unkempt, her cheekbones were bulging, her eye sockets were deep, and she had completely lost her former richness.
That Li Hanzi couldn't stand the rotten eyes Xue Laohan's chatter, and before the second heavy snowfall, he came back with a big bag and a small bag.
When he saw his daughter-in-law Hongxing's haggard face, trance, and emaciated body, the miserable situation reached such a point, Li Hanzi blamed herself very much. He was more considerate of Hongxing, and surrounded his daughter-in-law all day long, always smiling innocently, trying to make Hongxing as happy as possible.
It happened that during this period, a heavy snow prevented Hanzi from returning to the city, Hanzi completely calmed down, accompanied by Hongxing, meticulous care and care for Hongxing, this Hongxing's mood is getting better day by day, and her appearance has become better, and from time to time she will laugh with Hanzi, which is really a warm scene......
That Liu Ma was not only not affected by the tearing up of Xiaojing and Shuangxi's marriage contract, on the contrary, he was in a better mood than before his serious illness, and he wandered around the village all day long, and when he learned that Li Hanzi was back, he suddenly lost his smile, and after half speaking, he walked towards home with his hands behind his back, and no one knew why he was like this.
After returning home, this Liu Ma didn't like anything, Chunhua and Qiao Xiaojing didn't want to worry too much about him, of course they didn't dare to worry too much about him, they all knew that this guy had a violent temperament, arrogant and rude, and would be violent at every turn.
At dinner, the three of them were blindly eating, and none of them spoke, the home was very quiet, the silence was suffocating, Qiao Xiaojing didn't even dare to breathe, she was worried that something more terrible would happen after breaking the silence.
After eating, this Liu Ma sat on the threshold with a dry tobacco pot in his mouth, looking at the lonely sky stupidly, and sighed at every turn. Mother Chunhua and Xiaojing hid in the kitchen, busy with their own needlework.
This kind of life lasted for a long time, until the second heavy snow began to melt, until Li Hanzi left for the county seat, and until Qiao Baocai no longer messed with Hongxing, Liu Ma's face was happy.
On the fifth night of Hanzi's return to the city, Liu Ma said to Chunhua after dinner that he didn't have to wait for him to come back, so he left the house in a hurry, and the whole village was shrouded in fog, and an eerie atmosphere spread in the village, which was very terrifying.
