In the countryside, summer evenings are not as quiet as winter, with the cries of crickets and frogs, and the occasional barking of dogs.

The most lively is the sound of rubbing mahjong in the hall next door, no matter who has a bad card in his hand, he swears a few words from time to time.

Fortunately, the Xiao family's house is relatively remote, otherwise it will definitely make the neighbors unable to sleep.

Suddenly, the people who were playing mahjong outside suddenly heard a panic scream like a mouse meeting a cat, and they encountered a natural enemy.

But it soon quieted down.

Xiao Hong, who was lying on the old shelf bed, was also called up by the police and asked a few words, she also seemed to be frightened, and she could only nod and shake her head in panic.

After a while, the sound of a police car leaving was heard outside.

Soon Liu Meijuan and the neighbors who heard the sound came and cried: "Woo woo, I asked them not to play with money, but none of them listened to me, and now they have all been arrested, how can we live with our orphans and widows?" ”

When the neighbors heard what she said about Xiao Jianhua, they seemed to be unable to come back, even if they gloated in their hearts, they still comforted a few times on the surface: "There will be no big deal, you will be detained for ten days and half a month at most, don't worry too much, if you don't know it, you go to the police station to ask about the situation?" ”

"I'll go back to my parents' house early tomorrow morning and ask my brother to inquire!" Liu Meijuan said it nicely, but in fact, she didn't worry about her man, she just felt sorry for the money in the man's pocket.

What's more, Xiao Jianhua drove a tractor to help people pull goods, and now that everyone has gone in, there is no way to make money.

In addition, she originally wanted Xiao Hong to say goodbye as soon as possible, Ming'er's man's family is coming, Xiao Jianhua is not here, how should she talk about the dowry?

After all, she is a stepmother, so it's better not to do this kind of thing yourself, so as not to be gossiped about by the villagers in the future.

I only hated that when Xiao Hong's own mother Wu Julan was there, she was capable and kind, and she didn't say much behind her that she was not as good as the one in front.

When the neighbors left, Liu Meijuan said impatiently to her stepdaughter Xiao Hong on the side: "You clean up the living room." ”

After saying that, she took a flashlight and hurriedly went out.

There are also three other men in the village who have spare money to play mahjong together, and now they have been taken away by the police, and she must go to talk to others.

She suspected that the villagers who had conflicts with her family secretly went to report the crime, otherwise how could the police find her home so accurately?

Xiao Hong looked at the alarm clock on the wall, it was almost ten o'clock, and obediently picked up the broom by the door and began to sweep the floor.

Don't look at the expressions on her face, but Xiao Hong's heart is very happy at this moment.

When she was sent to the market to buy vegetables in the morning, she secretly rode a bicycle to a town more than ten miles away to report the case.

It's a pity that he has done good deeds and deeds, and he doesn't dare to publicize it, so he can only hide his merit and fame.

Now that she was the only one left in the family, she laughed silently.

They are a small village in the south called Shantou Village, with more than 50 households, most of whom are surnamed Xiao.

When Xiao Jianhua was twenty years old, he married nineteen-year-old Wu Julan from Chenzhai Village next door.

Wu Julan gave birth to twin daughters two years later.

Now everyone in the countryside wants to have a son, and after she gave birth to two daughters, she did not get pregnant again for many years.

After Grandpa Xiao died, no one controlled Xiao Jianhua, so he saw Wu Julan as unpleasant, often beat and scolded her, and then somehow got mixed up with Liu Meijuan, the little widow in the Louzhai Village next door.

When Liu Meijuan's belly got bigger, Xiao Jianhua immediately divorced Wu Julan.

In the end, Wu Julan took away her youngest daughter Xiao Fang, and soon took her daughter and remarried to a mountain family in the mountains of Qicun Village.

After Liu Meijuan entered the door with her daughter Lou Fenfang, although Xiao Hong was not pleasing to the eye, there was still her mother-in-law watching, and she didn't dare to rub the thorn in Wu Julan's eye.

It wasn't until her mother-in-law died last winter that she dared to say that she wanted to build a new house for her son, and the family was short of money, so it was better to say that Xiao Hong was a wealthy family earlier.

It's 1990, and although some cities outside have been blown by the spring breeze of reform, they are also relatively remote areas, and it is not easy to make money.

Grandpa Xiao was a capable person when he was alive, and he was a captain for many years, and he got his eldest son Xiao Jianjun, who loved to read, to work as a worker in the Railway Bureau, and arranged for his youngest son Xiao Jianhua to learn to drive a tractor.

After the field was divided, Xiao Jianhua borrowed a lot of money from relatives and friends, plus his mother's private subsidy, and bought a tractor to transport stones and bricks, and his small life was actually not bad.

But Xiao Jianhua loves to drink, and he likes mahjong to the core, so he has not saved much money over the years, and he can only dream if he wants to build a new house.

Therefore, he has no opinion that the person next to his pillow wants the dowry of his eldest daughter Xiao Hong.

For him, if his daughter can marry a good family, it will definitely be a good thing, and he will have many relatives who will borrow money in the future.

Under the matchmaking of Aunt Liu Meijuan, I really found a family in the town, but I haven't negotiated it at the dowry.

Besides, Xiao Hong was spoiled by her grandmother since she was a child, and her biggest worry in the past was just the divorce of her parents.

But since the death of her grandmother in the winter of last year, she has often dreamed that her short life was written in a book by Lou Fenfang, and she was married to the Zhao family in the town by her father and stepmother, and was often beaten because she couldn't give birth to children after marriage.

Three years later, Zhao Long was re-educated through labor for committing a crime, and she was swept out of the house by her mother-in-law.

In the end, it was her own mother who took her back and begged someone to arrange her to the supply and marketing cooperative, so that she could be considered stable.

After a few years, she borrowed some money, and with the help of her sister, she went to the city to open a clothing store, and after a few years of hard work, she bought a house in the city, and finally had her own home, but she died in a car accident, and the family business that she had worked hard for more than ten years was robbed by her stepmother.

This life is as bitter as Coptis chinensis, and he always walks alone and stands alone.

On the contrary, Lou Fenfang was admitted to university smoothly because of her good grades, and later went to work in the provincial newspaper, and married in the provincial capital.

Life was comfortable, and she also secretly wrote a few novels based on herself, and her grades turned out to be good.

If this was an ordinary dream, Xiao Hong wouldn't take it to heart.

But her dream was so real that she could still see everything in her dream.

Even where to buy and how to buy and sell can still be remembered.

At this time, Xiao Hong began to pay attention quietly, and really found out that Liu Meijuan's aunt had come to her house, and also found out that they were going to marry herself to the Zhao family.

Of course, Xiao Hong was unwilling to let their conspiracy succeed, thinking that Xiao Jianhua was addicted to mahjong, and the amount was not small, and that he was now gambling, so he had an idea, and thought of using the public security uncles to clean up his father first.

If he is not at home, Ming'er will have fewer people who can suppress him in all directions.

You can also take the opportunity to do something, and if you want to make a big deal and move your household registration.

Thanks to the fact that she experienced a lot in her dreams, she was kicked out of the house by her mother-in-law and realized that she had never received a marriage certificate with Zhao Long, and her household registration was still in her parents' house.

Later, when she went to the city, she learned that she needed a household registration to apply for a temporary residence permit, rent a shop and buy a house.

Then she wanted to take the opportunity to move her account out.
