Chapter Twenty-Three: The Husband Growls
I don't mean to regret it, I just feel that I have lost it, and I will make it clear. I have a lot of sheep, and I don't care if I lose a sheep.
Wu Zidan rotated around the dead sheep lying on the ground, and said to himself, I won't do this kind of loss-making business in the future, I will kill the sheep and sell them by myself.
After all, the butcher was a little weak-hearted, seeing that Wu Zidan was not here to find a fault, he just complained a few words, and felt that it was understandable, so he was angry, and took out a white sweeping knife from the flower basket containing the slaughtering knives and handed it to Wu Zidan and said, You take it, in the future, you will kill sheep and sell them at home, and make a fortune at home.
Wu Zidan took the sweeping knife and said, then I'm not welcome.
Wu Zidan took out a handpaper from his clothes, wiped the blade of the sweeping knife, and asked the vegetable stall owner to buy a disposable soft plastic bag that had been used once, bandaged the blade of the sweeping knife and inserted it properly on his waist, and then went to the production company in the south of the town to buy a bag of urea and carry it straight to his home.
It only took ten minutes to walk through a reservoir dam, two fields, three bridges, and a low mountain, and when I arrived at the door of my house, I put a bag of urea on the wall of the hall house.
He was covered in sweat and was about to take a towel to wipe his face or wash it, when his mother Shen came out of the kitchen, holding an unopened letter in her hand, handed it to Wu Zidan and said, "Son! Strange, about ten minutes ago, I went to the hall to open the door, and a letter fell through the crack in the latch, because I couldn't read, I didn't open it, you open it, read it to me, who wrote it?
Wu Zidan held the letter and felt quite strange, because only the words "Wu Zidan" were written on the envelope, and neither the address of the recipient nor the address of the sender was written.
He was puzzled and concluded that the letter had been sent by the writer or by the writer on behalf of someone else to inquire about his address.
Wu Zidan asked Shen while opening the letter, Mom, have you seen anyone coming?
Shen shook his head, where did I see it? Read it to me.
Wu Zidan opened the letter and pulled out the only big white paper inside, with only one line of words on it: Wu Zidan, your wife has committed adultery with a wild man, why don't you go back and catch the adulterer quickly.
It's written in pencil, but it's not like a child's handwriting, it's clearly an adult's handwriting.
He was so annoyed that he wanted to rush home immediately.
At this time, Gong urged, read it to me.
Wu Zidan was embarrassed to read this sentence to his own mother, so he made up a sentence to coax her, Mom, it is written above, Cai Zhongsheng said that your granddaughter Wu Ying is sick again and wants me to rush back.
Gong said in disbelief, Oh! No wonder your face changed when you read the letter, and you were anxious. Then you hurry up and go back and have a look.
Wu Zidan said no, and he had to go to the mountains to talk to his father who was taking care of the sheep.
No, your dad is back, I'll tell him. Gong anxiously urged his son to go home quickly.
Wu Zidan nodded, and while folding the blank paper in his hand and stuffing it into the letter bag.
He wanted to tear it up, but he couldn't do it in front of Gong.
He went out and did not go directly to the way home, but went through the field to the mountains to tell his father, repeating what he had begun to lie to his mother, saying that the family had brought a letter to inform him that your granddaughter Wu Ying was sick again, and she was very sick.
He also patted the buttoned pants purse on the bulge on his right buttocks and said, Dad, a pack of urea has been bought, it has been placed at home, you can sprinkle urea into the field when you are free, I want to go to Qiujiazhuang in Liulin Village to stay for a few days, this purse is the money left over from buying urea, just lend it to me, because your granddaughter Wu Ying's treatment costs money, so be it, I'm leaving.
Wu Jiaguang said unhappily, you take it and use it, don't say borrow it. Then he looked at the sheep who were all over the mountains and said, "You are back, when the ewe gives birth to a lamb, you catch a female and go to your new home in Qiujiazhuang to graze and breed, there are many mountains, water and grass are abundant, and it is good to develop the goat breeding industry, and you will be rich in the future, I can't wait for you to always find your father to rub oil."
Wu Zidan smiled reluctantly, stretched out his tongue and turned to leave.
Wu Jiaguang looked at his son's back and said, "Go ahead!" He shook his head again, thinking to himself: Next time I am short of money, I don't want you to help me sell goats for money.
After Wu Zidan went down the mountain, he went directly out of Liushuzhuang, but because it was more than 20 kilometers away from Liulin Village, where his house was located, there was no direct road during it, and only a country dirt road stretched along a series of east-west mountain ranges.
It was impossible to drive on it, and he walked halfway until it was late; After a little more walking, the night was getting darker. Just now he could see the stars twinkling in the sky, but after a while, he was covered by dark clouds, as if covering the emptiness of his heart, and he felt that it was not only the road that was dark, but also the path of his heart.
As he walked down the road, he kept figuring out the contents of the anonymous letter.
When it was not dark, he repeatedly took it out of the envelope and looked at it carefully. This made him angry, and he hated to tear it apart.
But no, he just stuffed the letter back into the envelope as if he was crumpled, considering that it could be used as a handle, so he still carried it on his body, and when he got home, he could force his wife to ask which wild man he had an affair with, and then he could find out and settle the account together.
He hurried back to Liulin Village, the sky was so dark that he couldn't see his fingers, the village landlord was one and the west was the other, some were still lit up, some were black, and it was clear that many families had gone to bed.
His house was in the middle of the east and west, and it was also dark at the moment.
He crept over and heard someone in the room whispering, from the bedroom, mixed with the man's voice, but he couldn't hear what was being said.
He suddenly remembered that the strange letter he had received from his mother in Willow Village was true, which made him extremely angry, so he came to the base of the wall of the bedroom in the dark and shouted, Zhong Sheng, which man are you fooling around with while I'm not at home? Open the door with Lao Tzu! Open the door!
The bedroom was dumbfounded, only the sound of rustling was heard, and I felt that someone was getting up and dressing, and walking out of the bedroom with shoes on my feet, and came to the middle room.
Wu Zidan thought that the gate was about to open, so he guarded the door. After a while, it felt wrong, and when he heard a knock at the back door, it was clear that someone had slipped through the back door, and he concluded that it was a wild man, so he immediately went around the front of the house, intending to go to the back of the house to intercept the wild man.
But when Wu Zidan walked around to the back door, he didn't see any ghosts, and there was silence behind the house.
He entered the house through the back door, passed through the middle room, and entered the bedroom with the light on with the open door, and saw Cai Zhongsheng getting up in his clothes and his hair was messy, but he didn't dare to look at him.
At this time, the child Wu Ying, who woke up, was crying in the nest.
Cai Zhongsheng picked her up to breastfeed, Wu Zidan couldn't help but speak, but his face was very hideous.
When the nursing child fell asleep with her eyelids slightly closed, and Cai Zhongsheng put her back in the nest, Wu Zidan stared at Cai Zhongsheng, who still didn't dare to look at him, and roared, you explain to me clearly, which wild man are you messing around with, if I hit him through the back door just now, I have to kill him with a knife.
As he spoke, Wu Zidan touched the hair-sweeping knife inserted in his waist, as if he wanted to try to kill someone and vent quickly.
