Chapter 4: The Afflicted Woman

As the saying goes, a woman is better than a mother. Since the first time her daughter went to the criticism meeting, Xiangyu has had a faint worry about the crazy girl. She realized that it was her own "performance" that touched the girl's nerves that were about to beat. As his "performance" became more and more "excessive", that worry also increased. However, she just thinks that the girl will press her step by step, and will not expose the unsightly "ugly thing" - even if she is "crazy", she will not be "crazy" to that point. She is really in a dilemma, this side is her own flesh and blood, and there is ...... With the conscience of heaven and earth, she really can't bear to disconnect from "him" and ignore it. Although her heart is so strong, even though her mind is so "stubborn", she can't help but occasionally wipe a handful of tears secretly. She didn't blame the girl - where would her daughter know the causes and consequences between her mother and "him" - her mother could only complain that her life was too bitter.

Hey, girl, since you took root in your mother's belly, your mother has broken her heart for you......

In a blink of an eye, Li Dasuo has been in the army for almost two months. In two months, he wrote only two letters to his sweetheart. He couldn't write more. Because at that time, all letters sent from other places to the local area were sandwiched in newspapers by the postman and delivered to the brigade headquarters. It is then forwarded to the recipient by the cadre of the brigade. He knew very well that if he sent the letter directly to Xiangyu, it would be tantamount to making an unspeakable secret announcement to the world. In that way, the two families of Xia and Li, who were temporarily "calm", were about to set off a new storm, and the one who was hurt the most was undoubtedly their sweetheart Xiangyu, and the result was not to love her, but to harm her. So, before he enlisted in the army, he went to his cousin's house and asked his cousin to do a particularly important thing for him: the letter he wrote to Xiangyu when he arrived in the army was personally delivered to Xiangyu by her. And repeatedly told her to be cautious, and even let her cousin hide it from her uncle, her father. He also thought that his cousin couldn't go to his "uncle's" house often, otherwise, he would have to let the "nosy" person have something to do even if he was fine. So, he could only compress that longing in the bottom of his heart - he could only write one letter a month. When Xiangyu received the first letter from her cousin, she looked at it and felt very fresh. Because in the letter, Da Suo described in detail his training, study, and life in the army. But when I finished reading it, I only mentioned myself in one sentence: "Xiangyu, you write to tell me about your recent situation." She couldn't help but feel a little ......

Unexpectedly, the eight words she was very familiar with appeared at the end:

One expression

Proof of a lifetime

She finally smiled knowingly. She felt that it was more intimate and tangible than the words "I miss you so much". The "gloomy" but "sunny" grove appeared in front of her eyes again......

When the cousin once again sent the letter of the big lock to the ghost in the name of seeing her uncle, Xiangyu was a little nervous in the face of her cousin - she suspected that she was pregnant!

Since his cousin is the most trustworthy person in Dasuo, and he already knows everything about himself and Dasuo, Xiangyu has nothing to say to his cousin. Besides, in addition to this "cousin", how can I have relatives who can talk about the "private affairs" between the "sisters".

As soon as my cousin heard that she hadn't been "popular" for two months, she said that nine times out of ten she was "there". However, she also said that if there is something wrong with the gynecology, it will also ...... In the end, she took Xiangyu to ask an old Chinese medicine doctor to take the pulse, and the result was not "doubt" but "certain".

"Cousin, what should I do......" Xiangyu, who was only eighteen years old, felt helpless and helpless and even scared for the first time in her life.

The cousin comforted: "Don't be afraid, there will always be a way." However, I can't do such a big thing. You immediately write to the big lock and let him make up his mind. ”

When Xiangyu returned home, she had to suppress the waves surging in her heart, and tried to pretend to be "normal", so as not to be seen by her father.

Da Suo received Xiangyu's letter, and when he saw the word "pregnant", he couldn't believe his eyes. When he recovered from the unexpected surprise mixed with the short-term confusion of doubt and even impossibility, he still accepted that this was a fact that could not be denied and could not be erased - Xiangyu would not tell lies. Immediately, regret, self-blame, anxiety...... Then it hit my heart in one go-

This is made by his own hands - it has caused Xiangyu pain for no reason! Alas, on the spur of the moment...... I didn't know there would be such a thing. Maybe it's providence, why did you get pregnant just that time? Maybe God wants to torture us—it's Xiangyu who is really tormented. She must be panicked, confused, scared by now - the person she fears the most is her father. Her mother made two jokes with a man surnamed Li, and her father found out, and without even asking a word, he actually picked up an axe and cut off one of her mother's arms! Her mother was frightened, how dare she live with him anymore - secretly ran away. If only her father knew that his daughter was on good terms with a boy surnamed Li, and that he would still be ...... I'm going to have to skin her. Alas, things have come to this point, what else can be done? The only, hurry up, ask Xiangyu to beat the child in the belly! Xiangyu didn't know what to think now—she just said in the letter that she was pregnant, asked me what to do, and asked me to make up my mind, and I could see that she was already in a state of confusion, and she must have been crying and writing to me. She may be reluctant to kill the child, the woman. But I can't help it, I can't just desert and run back secretly after only two months in the army. Besides, if she doesn't beat the child, her father won't be able to pass this hurdle. Thinking about it, in this matter, she really can't blame her father: her belly is getting bigger day by day, once it is seen, then Xiazhuang, no, the whole granite plate, it must be like a fried pot: "Oh, a little girl of eighteen or nineteen years old was found at her mother-in-law's house, and suddenly she was pregnant with wild seeds......"

Da Suo thought about it and felt that if he didn't beat it, Xiangyu would really not be able to survive. Alas, in the final analysis, it is all self-inflicted. I didn't think about it anymore, it was useless to think too much, so I quickly wrote back, first apologized to Xiangyu, and then, let Xiangyu not hesitate, cut through the mess quickly, and quickly beat the child in the belly, no matter what.

Xiangyu was anxious and panicked, waiting for Dasuo's reply day by day, while thinking wildly. Her initial thoughts were almost the same as Da Suo's thoughts, and she also felt that the "child" she had just conceived in her womb had to be killed. Since she knew that she had "it" in her stomach, she was lying in bed at night, and she subconsciously touched her little belly with her hands. She had never thought of anything else in her belly before, and now she seemed to understand all at once: Oh, I now have the blood of a man in my belly - a man I like. "He" grew up silently day by day, and gradually grew into a little little man - that is the flesh and blood of the big lock! No, it's also my own - it's the "crystallization of love" between me and Da Suo. "The Crystallization of Love" was what she saw in a book, so well written! If you knock it out - doesn't "knocking it out" in the final analysis mean destroying "him" (or "she") in the stomach? Oops, how can I "wipe out" the flesh and bones of the big lock? How can I wipe out the "crystallization of love" between me and Da Suo? If "he" is really "eliminated", how can I be worthy of the big lock? How can we be worthy of our "crystallization of love"? - You can't beat the "child", and you shouldn't beat the "child"! She thought about it again: if you want not to kill the "child", you have to find a way to protect "him". I want to be able to really protect "him", and one day, I have a big belly - then I am proud, because I have truly achieved "one expression": with my whole body, I express my true love for my sweetheart! Even in the future, if he doesn't want me anymore, I won't regret it; Even if he betrays me, I don't regret it! Because after all, I have loved a man with all my heart, and I have used the "crystal" I have protected to make the most powerful proof for myself - maybe a "lifetime proof"!

- Some people may want to persuade me: you knock out "this", and then the two of you get married justifiably, and you will "have" again. No, I can't heed such advice, even if it was well-intentioned. Because this is the "first time" for me and my sweetheart! Do you know how shy and nervous a young girl is for the "first time"? Do you know how excited and excited a young girl is for the "first time"? Do you know how precious a young girl is - this "first time", that "crystallization of love"? ……

- I can't beat the "child" in my belly anyway, I have to protect the "crystallization" of the "first" in my belly no matter what!

Eighteen-year-old Xiangyu, in helplessness and helplessness, finally secretly made up her mind. Next, around the question "What can I do to make the 'child' in the womb grow up safely?" - What can I do to get past my father first? She was thinking nonsense again......

Finally, one day, she suddenly came up with a good way - she herself thinks it is a good way to "get the best of both worlds": it can protect the "child" in her belly, and it can ......

Xiangyu, who already has a number of roads in his heart, can no longer be "idle". Time, no one can keep it, one more day, the "child" in the belly...... It's a little more risky. She had already secretly made a bet: "No matter what the big lock says, no matter what my cousin says, no one can stop me from making the determination to 'express' and 'prove'!" Even if you lose, you won't regret it, and you won't look back! ”

Xiangyu suddenly became "sick", and she had barely eaten two meals. In the morning, she cooked the meal, and when her father came back to eat, he lay on the bed and sobbed. When my father heard this, he came over and looked at it, and said, "Girl, are you sick?" Then he groped around for a long time, took out two cents and put it down: "Look at the disease." With that, he left. Dad's words in his heart are harder to "dig" than the money in his pocket. At noon, it was time to eat again, and Dad was back. Dad was a perennial watchman[13], and in addition to going home for three meals, he kept watch over the crops day and night. Xiangyu put the rice on the table and sat down to eat it with her father. After a few bites, she suddenly vomited - she hurriedly covered her mouth and ran out the door. She quietly put a finger down her throat and tossed herself to the point where she coughed and vomited—but nothing came out. With tears in her eyes, she served her father another meal, and then went to bed and lay down on her own. Dad walked to the side of the bed and touched her forehead: "Let's see." "Probably he saw that the two cents still didn't move. Dad dropped a sentence and went out again. In the afternoon, about two hours after my father went out, he suddenly came home, which had never happened before. It may be that he can't let go of his daughter in his heart. He is usually lukewarm to his daughter, but he didn't expect that this time......

Xiangyu was in the hall and accidentally saw his father's figure at a glance,—— he recognized that his father didn't see him. Because of the distance, coupled with the low height of the hall and the dim light. Xiangyu hurriedly moved a stool and placed it under the beam, then took the rope she had prepared, then climbed onto the stool, threw one end of the rope over the beam, and then tied the two rope ends into a dead knot......

When she heard her father's footsteps into the yard, she put her head into the noose, kicked off the stool under her feet...... "bang"—the sound of the stool falling to the ground, and in a moment pulled out her father's exclamation: "Ahh......h

Xiangyu, who was "rescued" by her father, lay on the bed and cried loudly. This time, it was no longer babbling that she couldn't hear clearly—she cried out her "heart knot" clearly: "...... I don't want to live anymore, I don't have the face to see people......"

Xiangyu's crying words stunned her father again. He was stunned for a moment, seemed to realize something, and suddenly jumped up: "Ah, who...... Who bullied you? "I was so anxious that my mouth was rambling.

While crying, Xiangyu said what she "couldn't speak": "A month ago, I went to play with a classmate, and it was already dark when I came back. When I walked to the side of a wood, a man jumped out of the woods, covered my mouth, dragged me in, and grabbed me...... Rip off my clothes......"

When Dad heard this, he went out like a whirlwind, and came back in a moment, holding the long knife in his hand to chop wood, and pulled the girl on the bed: "Go, take Dad, and go and cut the animal!" ”

Xiangyu cried that she didn't know the rascal, and said that her soul was scared away at that time, and she didn't dare to open her eyes to see what he looked like. Dad let go of his hand, and with a "click", the stool that he had just moved over to "hang" had a corner chopped off. "I'll fuck my ancestors!" - This angry scolding, along with the annoyance, was shaken by the sound of stools splitting.

Dad only scolded, and then hurriedly went out with a red face and a thick neck. Dad is an honest man who has no idea and no opinion when he encounters something. He must have gone to find the respected "old lady" in the family.

Dad went out to make an appointment for a meal, and came back: "Let's go, go to Fangsanxi." Daddy's voice suddenly became much hoarse.

Fangsanxi is a market town, twenty miles away from home. There is an old Chinese medicine doctor who specializes in treating women's diseases in that market town, and he is famous far and wide.

Xiangyu, who was still lying on the bed, cried again and said, "I have secretly seen it, and the Chinese medicine doctor called my pulse and said that I have ...... It's already 'there'......"

As soon as Dad heard that there was "yes", he suddenly fell to the ground - and began to cry. When Daddy's father died, Daddy didn't cry a single word. Seeing her father's crying appearance made Xiangyu really sad in her heart. Daddy's chest felt as if it had suddenly been inflated, and it was about to burst. But the throat that was coming out of the air seemed to be blocked by something. And so, the resentment, hatred, and anger mixed together, and it seemed to hit back and forth between his heart, lungs, and throat—his chest was heaving, his shoulders twitching, and the throbbing cry was "pumping" out of nowhere. The face full of ravines has long since changed color.

The father, who had been crying for a while, calmed down a little, and squeezed out a weak sentence: "I still have to go, grab some Chinese medicine......"

Xiangyu understood what her father meant, and cried again: "The old Chinese medicine doctor has passed my pulse, saying that my fetal pulse is not strong. said that if you have a baby, this life will ...... Only...... I can't get pregnant anymore......"

Dad sat there for a while, still dragging heavy steps, and went out the door.

After dinner, my father, who usually eats three bowls of porridge at a time, only drank one bowl and put down his chopsticks. He took out his cigarette pouch and smoked silently. After smoking a bag of cigarettes, he held back a sentence: "Girl, Dad wants to give it to you...... Look for...... Find a ...... Door-to-door son-in-law. ”

Xiangyu was speechless for a moment. After a while, he said, "I listen to my father." ”

The next day, Xiangyu went to the Taoshuwan Brigade just a ditch east of Mashipan, and she was going to find her classmate Liu Juan. What's more important is to go through Liu Juan to find the matchmaker nicknamed "Eight Hundred Sentences" in their brigade. Because it was inconvenient for her to go directly to the matchmaker.

Liu Juan is two years younger than Xiangyu, and Xiangyu calls her Xiaojuanzi. On the surface, the two of them and their classmate Zhou Liping are completely different personalities. Zhou Liping loves to move, and is with her classmates - both men and women, she loves to talk, laugh, and fight, both hot and silly. Liu Juan and Xiangyu, when others were frolicking, they sat on the side or stood aside, watching a lot, talking little, and rarely waving their arms and dancing legs, and they were quiet. In fact, behind the appearance of tranquility, there is a big difference between the two of them: Xiangyu is quiet on the outside, but she is alive on the inside-but no one can see it. And she has ideas and opinions, as long as it is something she recognizes, it is difficult for others to let her change. Liu Juan is different, she is the same on the outside, her mind is all exposed on her face, and she is timid. These two girls with very different personalities actually got along, and later became good friends - nothing to say. Liu Juan has always relied on this senior sister who is two years older than her, and as long as she encounters any big trouble or small trouble, she will go to her. This may be because before the two became good friends, Xiangyu often saw the weak Liu Juan being bullied by female or male classmates, and she would sometimes come forward, more of a "mastermind behind the scenes" - secretly trying to find a way to punish each other.

"Xiao Juanzi, I'm here today, but I have something big to tell you......" Next, she told herself how she fell in love with Li Dasuo, how she conceived his child, how she wanted to keep the child in her belly, and how she pretended to be sick, and how she used "hanging" to force her father to get on her "thief ship" unknowingly...... told Liu Juan all of them. She also spoke about her "premeditation" and what she was going to do now – the most important and urgent thing.

After Liu Juan heard this, she thought about it and said, "Sister Xia, you said that you will find a son-in-law right now, divorce him in three years, and then marry Li Dasuo, this method is good." But...... Three years later, if Li Dasuo is promoted in the army, becomes a platoon commander or company commander or something, and then rolls his eyes at you and refuses to admit it, won't you lose a lot? ”

"Well, I've thought about all of this, and I want to take a gamble. If I win the bet, I am blessed; If I lose the bet, my life is cheap, and I deserve to suffer and suffer. ”

"Oh, you're so bold enough, I'm afraid no one will dare to do this except you. After all, you still love him too much. Hey, you said you were pretending to be sick again, hanging yourself again, and now you're going to find a matchmaker again...... How can you figure it out - you just have a lot of ideas in your stomach. ”

"Well, I have a lot of ideas. Xiao Juanzi, I was forced out. You don't know how I've survived these days......" Xiangyu said, wiping tears from her eyes.

"Sister Xia, what do you say I should say to the matchmaker?"

"Juanzi, when you go to tell the matchmaker, you have to remember these points: first, the man must come to the door - to be the son-in-law; Second, the appearance is average, as long as it is not too ugly and short. Third, you should have the strength and be able to do farm work. Fourth, it is very important: don't be shrewd, be honest, the more honest the better, even if you are a fool - as long as you don't hit people. Fifth, try to find those who are far away, and don't go around. ”

Liu Juan listened and took notes in the notebook. After Xiangyu finished speaking, Liu Juan read them one by one. She suddenly found a problem and said: "Sister Xia, this fourth article, the matchmaker must be suspicious, suspect that the woman, that is, you, is ugly, or has some disability, or else ......"

"yes, I've thought about it too. You tell the matchmaker like this: The woman's father has a hot temper, and his wife cut off one of his wife's arms with a knife because of a retort with him. If you find a shrewd one, you will definitely not get along with the old father-in-law, if the old father-in-law loses his temper and cuts off the arm or thigh of his son-in-law - a good person becomes a cripple, then how can he live this life? If you find an honest person, even if it is a fool, he will listen to what the old father-in-law says, and he will do whatever he tells him to do, just like an honest cow, then he can be safe. You say that's what the woman is for. Juanzi, you must not forget the phrase 'you must find an honest one—the more honest the better—even if it is a fool' - you should know what I mean, right? ”

Liu Juan listened and nodded. He let out a long sigh: "Sister Xia, you ...... You...... My heart is sour, you ...... Isn't it stupid, isn't it too roundabout......" Liu Juan said, hugging Xiangyu, and the two of them cried......

Xiangyu cried and said, "Juanzi, I really regard you as my own sister." I, as well as the child in the belly, and the big lock, the lives of the three people, my sister will hand them over to you. You can't miss a word to anyone at any time......"

"Sister, don't worry, if you want to say 'leak', I can only 'leak' to one person, that is, the child who will grow up in your belly in the future. Whether it's a boy or a girl, I'm going to tell him. Maybe then, for various reasons, you can't tell you all the things you have done today, but I must tell him or her: if it weren't for your mother, you wouldn't have come to this world if it weren't for any other woman......"

……

The next day, the matchmaker came to Xiazhuang with "800 sentences" and met Xiangyu and her father. Next, she introduced two decent men to Xiangyu one after another, but Xiangyu didn't take a fancy to them. The reason is only clear to Xiangyu: those two men seem to be honest, but they are "not stupid". Xiangyu said almost the same thing to the matchmaker twice before and after: "It seems that people are still honest, but they are still not honest to that extent, I am afraid that I will not get along with my father." ”

As the saying goes, good things come in many ways. In the end, Xiangyu's "satisfied" "door-to-door son-in-law" finally came to the door in a simple and lonely "celebration". Because whether it is relatives or guests, as long as they see the "new son-in-law", they all have doubts and surprises on their faces: "This old and young, which evil ...... recruited a fool" There are also close relatives who seem to understand something after whispering in the ear, and they can't help but let out a helpless sigh.

This stupid son-in-law, judging from his appearance and size alone, Xiangyu has not lost much. But all he had to do was open his mouth — even if he didn't speak, just a "grin" laugh — and he missed the picture. However, Xiangyu has no regrets - the bitter wine she brews can only be tasted by herself day and night: during the day, people look at her with strange eyes; At night, though the newlywed "husband" slept beside him—the humiliation was so near—joy and happiness were so far away; And the "fiancé" in the distance seemed to be in front of him - he seemed to be standing a few steps away, wearing a military uniform, so mighty and upright, so handsome and chic, looking at himself with affection. But she also thinks that these "few steps" - but it will take "three years" or maybe longer to come through.

Xiangyu's father didn't know anything about his daughter's insistence on finding a stupid son-in-law, but he was also dumb and ate Coptis chinensis for the ugly thing hidden in his daughter's stomach - he couldn't say anything about the bitterness, so he didn't say anything to the stupid son-in-law who came to the door. Fortunately, he has the strength and can do farm work, so he has to live a life in the future.

As for the reason for the "stupid son-in-law's arrival", although the men with heads and faces in the Xia clan knew it well, but on their faces, one by one, they naturally pretended to be confused. And the "root" in Xiangyu's stomach is actually rooted under the "tree" of "Mu-Zi" - this shocking secret, whether it is surnamed Xia or Li, no one knows, and no one even thinks about Li Dasuo.

What about the people of the Li family?

The person surnamed Li, in the field - without the presence of adults and children surnamed Xia, or touched out a few dates, or gave him a pear, "kept" the stupid son-in-law of the Xia family, Jinbao, and made him happy.

"Jinbao, did you sleep comfortably last night?"

"Comfortable, comfortable, hehe."

"How comfortable is it?"

"Neither lukewarm nor hot. The mother said, neither hot nor cold, neither hungry nor thirsty, it is called comfortable. "Kimble loves to learn, especially what the people who love him the most, like his mother, have said and he will always remember.

"Have you eaten steamed buns at night?"

"I didn't eat it, what kind of steamed buns do you eat at night?"

"Meat Steamed Bun ......"

"Our family hasn't eaten meat for a long time. I really want to eat it, hehe. ”

"Jinbao, your daughter-in-law has it."

"Are you talking nonsense, the steamed bun with meat filling on the daughter-in-law? There are steamed buns with meat filling, and my mother took me to eat them, and they were delicious. ”

"Jinbao, your daughter-in-law has a steamed bun with meat on her body - she hid it and won't let you eat it."

"She's hiding? I don't believe it. ”

"It's hidden under her clothes, two...... The bulging ......" speaker, gesturing his hand over his chest.

"Oh, you're talking about tits, hehe, it's not meat buns, hehe, it's tits."

"yes, yes, that's the tits. Are your daughter-in-law's tits big? ”

"Big, big, like a big steamed bun."

"Did you touch it?"

"I touched it, my mother told me to touch it, hehe."

"Your daughter-in-law didn't ask you to touch it?"

"Didn't call it...... Sometimes she fell asleep and didn't seem to be asleep, her mouth gurgling, and when she gurgled, she would grab my hand and put it on her tits. Sometimes, I touch and touch...... She refused to let me touch it again. ”

"Oh...... Is it comfortable to touch? ”

"Comfortable, hey, fun. Hehe, it's like touching my mother's tits when I was a kid......"

"Have you eaten?"

"Eat. My mother told me to eat. My daughter-in-law sometimes won't let me eat. ”

"When you eat your tits, your daughter-in-law must be hugging you and laughing......"

"I didn't ...... Didn't laugh. ”

"You're not laughing, are you?"

"I really didn't laugh. Sometimes, she's grunting, like she's talking to someone. ”

"Talk to whom?" The person who asked eagerly wanted to know.

"I don't know. She grunted inaudibly, and said as she spoke...... He would start crying, and when he cried, he pushed me away. ”

"Oh, didn't laugh - still crying?"

"Crying, crying with a quilt over your face."

"You didn't ask her, why are you crying?"

"When I asked, she said that her heart hurt and told me not to touch her."

"Heartache...... I'm afraid it's distressing, who is distressed? Oh, Jinbao, my daughter-in-law is feeling sorry for you. She won't let you touch it because she's afraid you'll be tired; I don't let you eat it, because I'm afraid that you will become addicted to it and become a gluttonous cat. ”

Jinbao listened, as if suddenly remembered something, and said, "When I was a child, I ate my mother's tits until I was eight years old. My mother always said I was a glutton. Later, my mother wouldn't let me eat it. Well, 'my daughter-in-law is my mother', that's what my mother said. My mother said that my daughter-in-law was my 'bride', and told me to listen to the 'bride', good girl. ”

"Yes, yes, your daughter-in-law is your 'bride'. Jinbao is so smart! ”

"Jinbao, if another man touches your daughter-in-law's tits and eats your daughter-in-law's tits, will you let him touch them and let him eat them?"

"Don't let it!" Jinbao said categorically.

"Why?"

"My mother's tits are mine, and my bride's tits are mine—that's what my mother told me. If someone touches it and eats it, I will pick up a long wooden stick and smash him to death! Jinbao said excitedly.

The two middle-aged men who were "teasing him" squeezed their eyes at each other: I didn't expect Jinbao, who was always giggling and smiling on weekdays, to ......

"Yes, stone him, stone him! Jinbao is really powerful, a man, and a great bravery! One agitated absentmindedly, the other shaking his thumb in front of Campbell's eyes. While amusing the fool, the two of them muttered in their hearts: Good girl, stupid people have stupid energy. If any of them are stunned, thinking that a fool is easy to bully, and touching him at night, he wants to do something to his "bride", and if he can't get it right, he can really die in the hands of this fool!

"Jinbao, at night, are there any other men visiting your house?"

"Nope."

"Not once?"

"Nope."

"I'm afraid you're asleep, I don't know."

"No, if there is any movement in the yard, my daughter-in-law will wake me up. She told me to pick up a stick and go around the yard, saying that there was a thief stealing things. ”

"Are you afraid of thieves?"

"I'm not afraid. If the thief is touched by me, I will smash him with a stick—and kill him!" ”

"Jinbao, your daughter-in-law...... Does she go out at night? ”

"Don't go out. After dinner, I cleaned up inside and out, closed the door, and went to bed. ”

"Jinbao, the head of the night...... Have you ridden a big horse? ”

"We don't have a big horse in our family?"

"Yes, your daughter-in-law is a big horse, and riding a daughter-in-law is riding a big horse."

"Oh, you're talking about riding a daughter-in-law, my mother told me to ride. My mother told me to ride and told me to remember...... Hey hey ......"

The person who teased him couldn't help but want to laugh, but he bared his teeth and held back. Because of the smile, Jinbao stopped talking. Even if you hold him again, he won't talk to you anymore.

"What else did your mother tell you to remember?"

Jinbao seemed to be seriously thinking about her mother's words. Suddenly, as if remembering, he said, "I remembered, my mother called me...... Tell me to take off my clothes - and ride my daughter-in-law again, like that...... The daughter-in-law will have a baby in her belly, hehehehe......"

"Did you ride?" Kimble shook his head.

"Why don't you ride?"

"My daughter-in-law...... She wouldn't let me ride. Jinbao seemed to be a little aggrieved.

"If she won't let you ride, you won't ride?"

"I want to ride...... My mother told me I had to ride. But my daughter-in-law said that as soon as I rode it, her stomach hurt. My stomach hurts, so I can't do my laundry and cook. ”
