Chapter 12

There is no hitchhiker to take back, but there are ox carts and mule carts to sit at the intersection of the north gate, and a trip costs dozens of yuan.

Wei Yi'an touched the money in her pocket, forget it, let's save some before she earns money.

After a while, when she gets to a no-man's land, put her things in the space, and she just needs to go quickly.

Hurry up, and when I got home, the sun had just reached the top of my head.

Seeing that Wei Yi'an locked herself in her home and didn't come back until now, Guazi was very angry.

When he saw Wei Yi'an take out the new clothes and shoes he bought for him, he swallowed his complaints instantly.

Watching Wei Yi'an put down the things in his hand, and smiled again, urging him to take off his old clothes to try on new cotton clothes, Guazi was a little incredulous.

This color is really beautiful, as blue as the sky, and it is soft to the touch, he has only seen it in the patriarch and the grandson of the Li Zheng family.

How could his mother buy clothes for herself and her brother?

He couldn't figure it out, but he was happy that his mother had really gotten better.

So he honestly asked Wei Yi'an to wear it for him, and the length of the clothes for the two children was just right, but it was still a little fatter.

Wei Yi'an looked at the beans and the stunned melon seeds who were touching their clothes, and felt strange in their hearts, these two children were thinner than the other, and they must have been malnourished and did not reach their normal height and weight.

In the future, you still have to make up for it, so as not to affect your development.

When I wore new clothes, my shoes and socks were changed, and wearing straw sandals in winter was almost like barefoot!

When I took out the oranges and sugar gourds, Rao was as precocious as melon seeds, and I was also attracted by the crystal clear and round fruit.

It's round and red, and when you lick it, it's so sweet to the heart, just like his mother's smile at the moment.

"Eat slowly, and jump carefully to your teeth."

smiled and asked, and then Wei Yi'an went to the kitchen to prepare lunch.

After a morning of running, she was also hungry.

After killing the fish quickly, she carried the wooden bucket containing the intestines and blood water and prepared to go out and pour it, not knowing that the fish intestines were chopped up and could be fed to the chickens.

After pouring dirty water through the back door, I returned to the kitchen, where Melon Seeds was already sitting in front of the stove and getting firewood ready to light the fire.

At this moment, there was a sharp knock on the door, accompanied by the swearing of the woman and the cry of the child.

?

Melon Seed was so shocked that she turned her head to look at his mother, and then wanted to get up to see who it was.

Wei Yi'an was also puzzled, in her memory, although the original body had a bad reputation, she did not have an enmity with others, let alone her.

Stretching out his hand and holding him, "Close the door of the hall and take my brother to the bedroom." ”

Outside, the wooden door panel was slammed to the sky, the crying became weaker and the scolding intensified, and there were still people talking.

Wei Yi'an couldn't help frowning when she heard this, picked up a three-foot-long wooden stick from the kitchen floor and carried it in her hand before going to the door.

I don't know which one lacks morality, and it's really unpleasant to do things with a meal.

So her tone was not very good, and she asked in a deep voice through the door, "Who is outside the door?" ”

This question made the woman crying outside the door even more sad in her heart, and she couldn't help crying: "Wei, why don't you save my son!" You give back my son! Give back my son! ”

Then he said hoarsely: "Get out of here, you get out!" Shrinking turtle! ”

Neighbors in all directions were attracted by this situation, thinking that there was a lively and beautiful scene, so they came out to watch with their rice bowls.

But seeing that the door of He's house was closed, and the women outside the door were constantly scolding, they gathered together and whispered about it.

The crying woman is Zhong Lin's mother-in-law who lives in the south of the village, Zhong Lin has no father since he was a child, only two sisters have no brothers, and he is the only seedling in the family.

Mrs. Zhong worked hard to bring him up, and only married his daughter-in-law Liu at the age of twenty-five.

Mrs. Zhong finally took a breath and waited to hold her grandson, but who knew that the Liu family gave birth to five daughters in a row, which made Mrs. Zhong angry.

scolded Liu's head and face, and even threatened to "If you can't give birth to a grandson, you will get rid of the old lady".

The Liu family trembled and didn't dare to talk back, and it was not until the seventh child that he finally got a son, named Zhong Rong, and became the baby egg of the whole family. Pampered to the age of seven, holding it in his hand for fear of falling, holding it in his mouth for fear of melting.

No matter where she went, Mrs. Zhong called a few granddaughters to follow and watch.

After breakfast yesterday, Zhong Rong went out to play with his companions, but he didn't come back until lunch, and the sixth child who looked at him was embarrassed and didn't dare to come back.

Mrs. Zhong panicked, so she scolded and asked her son, daughter-in-law and granddaughter to look for it together, and asked Zhong Rong's companions who usually played together one by one, and they all said that they didn't play together and didn't see it.

After looking for a day and a night and finding nothing, the family was as anxious as ants on a hot pot, and Liu was even more desperate to wipe tears.

Until this morning, someone saw Zhong Rong who had been soaked all night on the river downstream of Lishui.

This pair of the Zhong family was like a bolt from the blue, and Mrs. Zhong couldn't stand the blow in particular, and she cried and fainted to the ground as soon as her hind legs became weak.

Later, I heard from others that Gao Sheng's son and Li Zheng's grandson in the village also had an accident in Lishui yesterday, but they were saved by Wei, the widow of the He family.

Maybe, then the Wei family deliberately saved others first, not your Zhong Rong, your Zhong Rong bullied her son before, did you forget? Oh, I'm talking nonsense, auntie, you have to take care of your body.........

The grandson is gone, and Mrs. Zhong is like someone has gouged out her heart.

After listening to some specious words, Mrs. Zhong decided that Wei deliberately did not save her precious grandson, so she immediately dragged her daughter-in-law and granddaughter to ask for an explanation.

The gossip is also cheap-mouthed, and likes to say things that catch the wind and shadows.

Seeing that Mrs. Zhong looked like she was going to settle accounts, she said in her heart that she had caused trouble for the Wei family, so she probed her brain with the Tibetan crowd with trepidation.

The scolding in Mrs. Zhong's mouth was unbearable, and Wei Yi'an ignored it directly when she heard it, just thinking about what this woman had just said.

Listen to that meaning, could it be that there were people who fell into the water yesterday but didn't see it?

Wei Yi'an shook his head, sure that he couldn't be mistaken, there were only two children in the water at that time.

Unlessβ€”

Her heart tightened, all she saw was the bare surface of the water in the ice, what was under the ice?

What if the person who fell into the water didn't hold it up before she arrived, and was swept under the ice by the current?

This is also highly likely!

She had seen a lot of such cases in her previous life, and in the years of extreme cold, countless people died under the ice.

I guessed the general situation in my heart, whose life is not life, Wei Yi'an regretted that he didn't save the child.

But she can't let the family label her, as long as she still lives here, she must take care of her reputation.

Wei Yi'an peeked through the crack in the door and saw that there were neighbors watching not far outside, so he threw away the wooden stick in his hand and opened the door to make it clear.

Liu was lying crooked on the ground, crying with snot and tears, and when he saw the door open, he pounced on it and was about to fight someone.

"You pay for my son's life!"

Wei Yi'an restrained her torn arms, and saw that her face was sleek, thin, heartbroken, and lacking in energy, and sighed in her heart, she was also a pitiful person.

He softened his tone and said, "This sister-in-law, I didn't harm your son. ”

Liu only listened to her quibble, how could someone who had done something bad admit it?

Tremblingly, he pointed at Wei Yi'an and said, "If you save him first!" Save my son first, and he won't be drowned! You have a black heart, you also have a son! Why are you so ruthless! My son..."

Liu's daughters were all cowered together in fright, their faces full of tears and frightened.

In order to let the onlookers hear clearly, Wei Yi'an said loudly with a cold face,

"When I arrived, there were only two children in the river, the Gao family and the Li Zheng family. I didn't see a third person all the time, and since I went into the water to save people, why didn't I just save your children?

So, I don't know why you think I hurt your child, but yesterday I was saving people by Lishui, and there were people next to me. ”

Wei Yi'an was so angry that her face was frosty, she squinted, and her gaze swept to the old woman Zhong on the side. The old woman scolded the most ugly in the courtyard just now, why did she stop eating at this time?

Mrs. Zhong herself became a widow at a young age, and she dragged her children to grow up as a father and mother, and suffered for half her life.

Now I see this little widow surnamed Wei, wearing a short jacket with embroidery on a shallow scarlet placket, bulging breasts, and a high-waisted apricot yellow long skirt that hooks her waist. I can see that I am not an honest person when I go to that station!

looks like a good look, look at this ass, this waist, no wonder you can give birth to two sons in a row, not like your own broom star-like daughter-in-law, look at it and be unlucky.

Mrs. Zhong's eyes were shining, she squinted and looked at it, and after a turn of thought, she changed her attention.
