Chapter Ninety-Seven: Exposed
Liang Yuanque poked Zhuang Youjie beside him and asked him to look downstairs and judge.
Zhuang Youjie saw that it was indeed Fusha introduced to him by Asya at noon, so he nodded at him.
The actions of the two of them alarmed Asya, who was sitting opposite, and she also looked out the window curiously, "Oh, it's Sister Fusha." ”
Liang Yuanque pretended not to know, "Ah, it turns out that this is the sister you mentioned, why do you feel that she is dressed differently from ordinary people?" ”
Liang Yuanque walked in the village twice and also saw many young daughters.
Either she has no ornaments at all, like Asyah, or her head is adorned with some plain silver ornaments and brightly colored flowers.
Like Fusha with white flowers, she is really the only one.
"At that time, because Sister Fusha's husband died, the rules in our village were that she had to hold a funeral for three years after her husband's death, and she couldn't participate in public activities or dress up brightly, so she looked like this."
Asya explained to him.
"Oh, that's right." Liang Yuanqi nodded.
It seems that the little widow who is still in the mourning period is only Fusha, so her characteristics are quite obvious, and she is easy to find.
While talking, the dishes they ordered came up, and according to Asya, there were no waiters in the restaurant, and the boss's family was busy.
The business in the whole restaurant is lively and prosperous, if you want to be busy, it seems that you have to have enough family.
In fact, the water village has maintained the rule of not intermarrying with the outside for many years, although I don't know what the relationship between the first batch of people who came here to set up the village is, but after so many years of marriage between each other, the people in the entire water village are basically related to each other.
In other words, if you really want to go up the number, whoever is with everyone is family.
This situation may continue to develop, and perhaps the water village will soon be doomed, because Liang Yuanque has already found some strange-looking children on the side of the road, and it is roughly judged that it is a disease caused by the marriage of close relatives.
Alas, let's hope that the reformers of the future will prevail.
However, this is not something he needs to care about at the moment, the future of Shuizhai is not something he can intervene in, he just needs to do what he wants to do first.
So he quietly continued to talk to Asya, "If you want to say this, we also have rules for keeping the mourning period there, but generally the family members of the deceased don't go out much during the mourning period. ”
Speaking of this, Asya seemed a little angry, "Yes, Sister Fusha's elders also asked her to do the same, but there is no one else in her family anymore!" ”
"Whether it's her mother-in-law or her mother's family, they refuse to accept her, so she always has to eat, she has to survive, if she doesn't come out to buy things and buy food and drink supplies, will she starve to death at home?"
Zhuang Youjie, who was eating vegetables on the side, couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, "So serious?" ”
"Yes," Asya sighed as she spoke, "It's pitiful enough for her to lose her husband, her mother-in-law's family and her mother's family still think she is unlucky and refuse to accept her, she can hold on until now, she is already very strong." ”
Zhuang Youjie smacked his lips and thought of Liuyun, who also lost his other half, "I take the liberty of asking, don't your men have a mourning period?" ”
Asya shook her head, "Anyway, I haven't heard of that man holding a funeral for his wife. ”
Liang Yuanque smiled contemptuously, "It turns out that no matter what kind of cultural system it is, they like to bully women. ”
Zhuang Youjie choked on a mouthful of hot vegetable soup, and didn't know how to answer his words for a while.
However, Liang Yuan said on his own, "Asya, does Sister Fusha live near here?" ”
"Yes, that's why she often comes here to buy things, she is already very obedient and doesn't go far anymore, only moving around her home." Asya is still immersed in the grievances of Fusha.
Liang Yuanque nodded, striking while the iron was hot, and when Asya didn't have time to react, he quickly threw out a sigh,
"Then her family should be quite big, didn't you say before that her husband loves to entertain foreigners?"
This seems to be an exclamatory rhetorical question, but it is actually two options for Asya.
If she answered no, then she would definitely subconsciously connect to what Fusha's home was actually like.
If she answered yes, then Liang Yuanque was right, and it would be excluded in the vicinity according to such characteristics.
However, Ashya also gave him a surprise.
"Yes, her house is four stories high, her husband was very capable during his lifetime, he was the first to build a four-story wooden building in the village, and he originally planned to have many children to live together, but as a result, alas, ......"
Asya said, sighing again, "How do you say it in your Chinese, the world is ......?"
"The world is impermanent." Liang Yuanque picked up with a smile.
He is simply too talkative, Ashya inadvertently narrowed the scope of his search, Fusha's home is near the restaurant, and it is a four-story wooden building.
When he walked all the way, Liang Yuanque quietly observed, there were not many four-story wooden buildings near the big restaurant.
Xu was because it was going too well, Liang Yuanque took a step further and took a step deeper, and he continued to say to Asya in his usual tone,
"So, after her husband died, the four-story wooden building never received any guests?"
This question is indeed a little too risky, and Asya, who has always been simple and unsuspecting, also became vigilant, and her expression immediately changed, and her eyes became secretive,
"You, why do you ask that?"
Liang Yuanque knew that it was bad, stepped on the thunder point, and immediately changed his words and said, "I feel that Sister Fusha's sister should be quite lonely, her husband is gone, and her family does not accept her, which is very pitiful." ”
Feeling that Liang Yuanque was empathizing with Fusha, Asya's heart couldn't help but soften him a little.
After Fusha's husband died, many people in the village excluded her, and men would have inexplicable resentment towards her, and some women would also feel that she was full of bad luck and killed her husband.
It's the first time Ashiya has seen a man pitying Fusha, and sure enough, as Fusha said,
"The people outside are different, and some people's thoughts are difficult for them to reach in the village."
Seeing that the timing was about the same, Liang Yuanque pretended to vomit after taking a sip of soup, covered his mouth and bent down, and kicked Zhuang Youjie under the table.
Asya was startled, "You, what's wrong with you?" ”
Zhuang Youjie hurriedly helped him up and wanted to take him to the toilet to solve it, Asya was very worried, and was stopped by Zhuang Youjie when she wanted to go with her, and asked her to look at the dishes on the table, so as not to be taken away by the waiter.
This is not the largest restaurant in the water village, there is a toilet inside, Zhuang Youjie helped Liang Yuanque to the toilet on the second floor, and found that although it is not very modern, it is very clean.
After the two entered the men's bathroom, Liang Yuanqi neatly closed the door, opened the wooden window and was about to jump down.
Zhuang Youjie was startled, and hurriedly grabbed him, "I'll go, are you in such a hurry?" ”
"Hurry up, I'll be back soon." Liang Yuanque propped his hands on the window frame.
"No, give me a specific time!" Zhuang Youjie still pulled him, "I have to be mentally prepared, right?" ”
Liang Yuanque thought for a while, "Fifteen minutes, if I haven't come back after the timeout, you can jump out of the window and run down the path and run out to find Uncle Wonton." ”
"Okay."
Zhuang Youjie had been staring anxiously at his watch since he left, but in less than ten minutes, a figure had rolled up from the open window.
"Hey, what's going on?"
Liang Yuanque kicked open the locked door, pulled Zhuang Youjie and ran out of the toilet, "Run first, big brother, I'll explain to you on the way!" ”
At the same time, Zhuang Youjie felt the sound of hula and cheering footsteps coming from all directions of the restaurant!
