Chapter 36 Reminiscing about the past is unbearable

One

Xiaoyu got married in the autumn of many difficulties. Husband Qiu Baosheng is the same age as himself in the same village, because the two families are poor, and Baosheng's father has the grace to save his mother, so the two families are good at Qin and Jin. It was the early spring of the year, the cold was thick, the green was late, and the earth was white. This is undoubtedly worse for poor households who have no food in stock. Xiaoyu's father, Zhang Furui, went out early and returned late to make ends meet for his family. Who knew that there were unforeseen circumstances in the sky, and just when Dad was desperately working for the family, disaster fell from the sky. Dad broke his leg when his house collapsed. The mother burst into tears when she faced her husband who couldn't move and her daughter who couldn't stand on her own. What to do? The family is poor, and the relatives are also surrounded by walls, facing the collapse of their own family and the helpless relatives and friends. The cowardly mother is powerless, and in order to escape the predicament and seek peace of mind, she takes extreme measures to end her life. It was a late night, and my mother abandoned her husband with a broken leg and her daughter, and committed suicide. She was standing by the well, thinking about jumping, when she was grabbed by a pair of big hands. "Who are you, and why did you commit suicide?" The mother didn't say anything, but she could hear that it was Qiu Ziqiang. After a while, my mother said, "Let me go and let me die, it's better to live like this than to die!" ”

Qiu Ziqiang heard that it was Zhang Furui's wife Ni Lan, so he said loudly: "There is no hurdle that cannot be passed, why should you abandon your family and business and abandon your relatives to find a short view?" ”

"Self-improvement, I really can't get over this hurdle, it's not that I voluntarily look for a short-term view, it's that I can't afford to survive the hunger hurdle. In this way, instead of starving to death, it is better to cut off your life as soon as possible for peace of mind. ”

"Confused, you cut off your life and died, how can your husband and daughter live?"

"They're dead too!" Ni Lan said helplessly.

Qiu Ziqiang was shocked when he heard this, and thought, "They also die?" How do they die? Could it be ......" he didn't dare to think down. So, he quickly asked, "You said they also died, how did they die?" How did they die? ”

Ni Lan cried silently: "I can't bear to see my husband and daughter die, I mixed rat poison in the mixed bread I made for them, told my daughter to get up early to eat with her father, and lied to my daughter that I went out to borrow food." ”

After listening to Ni Lan's narration, Qiu Ziqiang's hanging heart fell to the ground. I thought, fortunately, there is still a period of time before dawn, otherwise, the lives of these two men will also return to the West Heavenly Road. So he said, "It's good you didn't let them eat it right away, otherwise you ......."

"Alas, it's still the same sentence, I can't bear to see his two grandfathers die like this?"

"Since you can't bear it, shouldn't you be ruthless? You did this, three lives were lost in your hands, how cruel are you? Isn't it intolerable for you to do this? Isn't that dehumanizing? As he spoke, he grabbed Ni Lan with both hands and dragged her home. The reason why he dragged Ni Lan home forcefully was that if the child was hungry and ate mixed bread with rat poison, wouldn't it cost the child's life? He dragged along the way, dragging Ni Lan, who only wanted to die and refused to go home. Qiu Ziqiang shouted at her: "Are you a human or a beast? If you are human, you should have humanity; If you are a beast, the tiger will not eat its children. But in order to escape hardship and seek peace of mind, you ruthlessly poisoned your own daughter to death, you are so vicious! So vicious, what else do you call your mother? Do you still have the taste of being a mother? Are you worthy of the daughter who calls you your mother? Under Qiu Ziqiang's angry reprimand, Ni Lan's conscience was awakened, her mother's love was recalled, she no longer resisted, and she went home with Qiu Ziqiang.

She went into the house and saw her sleeping daughter and her husband with a broken leg, and she cried profusely. Since then, the Qiu family has continued to sponsor the Ni Lan family in a difficult situation. Although his family is also very poor, he can sustain himself with bran vegetables. He and his wife took out their mixed noodles and dried vegetable leaves to help the struggling family. Ni Lan always cried bitterly whenever she saw the relief food sent by Qiu Ziqiang and his wife, and said, "How can I repay such kindness?" ”

"They are all poor, so why should they be repaid? We spend the hardships together, winter goes to spring, and when the spring flowers bloom, and with green people we will be saved, and we will not die of hunger. When encountering difficulties, you can't think of dying, you can't think of a way to survive, and you want a way to solve difficulties. Wanting to die is a manifestation of incompetence, harming oneself and others. As she spoke, she looked at Xiaoyu and said, "What a good girl, you are willing to do it, you are so ruthless!" ”

"This is also no problem, the poor don't have it, I can't take the scoop out of the east family and the west house every day to borrow it?"

"This is temporary, Fury's predicament will pass as soon as his legs are good, you must think about it when you encounter something, there is no flame mountain that you can't pass, and you can't go dead for your daughter?" Ni Lan listened silently. I consciously did something that hurt nature and reason and annihilated my conscience. Thinking of the consequences, she cried bitterly and said: "I will not forget Qiu Ziqiang's life-saving grace in this life, and I will not forget your husband and wife to help my family solve the urgent need, I know that this difficulty is temporary, as soon as Fury's leg is good, we will be saved, as the saying goes: 'Break your muscles and bones for a hundred days.'" After this difficulty, there will be hope, and there will be gruel and rotten rice to fill the mouth. Also, the spring flowers are blooming and the grass is sprouting, which can fill the stomach! ”

"As long as you can see the light, you can't go all the way to the dark."

"Yes, this person is a ghost who is desperate, he can't think about it, and he can't enlighten himself, so he ......"

"Okay, just open it if you want to." So she looked at Xiaoyu and said distressedly: "What a good girl this is, you can bear to be ruthless at the beginning?" ”

"It was helpless when I was ruthless, if you praise my daughter, you can recognize her as a 'goddaughter'!"

"Whatever you do to your daughter, just be my daughter. I gave birth to two sons, and one survived, and I just happened to lack a daughter. Our two families are in-laws, Xiaoyu is both my daughter and my daughter-in-law, isn't this the best of both worlds? ”

Ni Lan was so happy that she said happily: "Yes, yes, there is nothing more perfect than this, as long as you don't dislike it, of course I am willing!" ”。

"If you want, what does my Qiu family have to dislike? Such a good girl, I can't find it even with a lantern? As he spoke, he touched Xiaoyu's face and praised it and said, "White and clean, big eyes, how attractive it is!" ”

Xiaoyu looked at the eldest lady who funded her family and was silent. She didn't know what her mother was talking about, she only cried and grieved for her mother's sadness, and was heartbroken. At this time, the seeds of suffering had been planted in the depths of her soul.
