Three hundred and fiftieth chapters: get the letter
Hongmei's education level is not high. She has only been in elementary school for a few years. Her handwriting is crooked and there are typos in the middle.
Uncle Tan is illiterate, so Tan Jianjun read it to him, okay? It's just this paragraph. It doesn't say where he's going or who he's going with. Even if it's taken out, it won't be used as evidence.
A small piece of paper almost made Uncle Tan's nose crooked with anger. He grabbed the small piece of paper and shook it, until he almost lost his temper.
"This damn girl, this damn girl..." Uncle Tan's lips trembled and he couldn't speak anymore.
Aunt Tan was really afraid that the old man would get angry, so she hurriedly held Uncle Tan's arm, "His father, his father, are you okay?"
Uncle Tan waved his hand and sat down with his waist bent, "How can I do this? How should I explain it to my in-laws?"
Siqiao had been standing at the door waiting for news. When she saw Uncle Tan finding a note, she hurriedly held her waist and came in. "Dad, show me." After saying that, without waiting for Uncle Tan to agree, Siqiao directly took the note into his hand.
There were not many words, and it was clear at a glance. Siqiao immediately blushed. Siqiao was a little afraid of her mother. If her mother knew that Hongmei had run away, she would definitely not be able to bear the loss. She did not dare to think about what her mother could do by then.
Things come up.
Si Qiao's mother is a powerful character, and Huang Dujuan can only take advantage but not suffer any losses. Whenever someone provokes her, she can block the door of their home, scold them until they are bruising and foaming at the corners of their mouth, and scold them from being tit-for-tat to being locked in a closed door.
The common people are all simple, and they don't care about her if they can't be offended but can hide.
Now that Hongmei is gone, the most urgent thing at hand is to keep her mind stable and not let her return to her parents' home to report the news.
"Siqiao." Aunt Tan hurriedly went to help her daughter-in-law. She carefully looked at Siqiao's face, "Don't tell your parents about this yet. Don't worry, mom and dad just want to do what Jiu Liu wants.
We also have to find the red plums."
Siqiao: "Mom, it's a trivial matter whether I feel at ease or not. The key is my mother, I want her to feel at ease."
"Mom, I understand, Mom understands." Aunt Tan nodded repeatedly, "You go in and rest first. Mother will call you when the meal is ready."
Aunt Tan sent Siqiao back to her room as if she was sending off Lafayette. She changed her face when she walked out the door, "Er Nizi, it's already what time and you still haven't cooked. How can you be such an adult and not look at all!"
Normally, her mother and sister-in-law cook, and Hongzhu is just a starter. Today, she also forgot about the need to cook. When she heard her mother's unkind tone, she hurriedly walked to the kitchen, "I know, let's go now."
Do."
Aunt Tan returned to the room and sat directly opposite Uncle Tan, "Old man, what do you think we should do about this?"
Uncle Tan: "What can I do? Find it!"
Tan Jianjun: "Dad, how should we find it? I don't know where Hongmei has gone."
"You don't know, why do I know?" Uncle Tan said angrily: "Start with your relatives, your grandma's family, your uncle's family, and your aunt's family."
Tan Jianjun: “What if we still can’t find it?”
Uncle Tan was so angry that he raised his hand and said, "I haven't even looked for it yet, so you say you can't find it. If you really can't find it, let's see if your mother-in-law can spare our family."
Unable to sleep at night, Mr. and Mrs. Tan kept complaining to each other.
Aunt Tan: "You are an old thing. You exchange marriages for marriages. If you don't have the ability to find a wife for your son, you won't marry him. Now that this has happened, it's not shameful enough to spread the word."
Uncle Tan threw the dry pipe on the table with a clang. His old face was full of impatience, "What are you talking about? Are you not in a hurry when your son is so old and can't get a wife? We are not the only ones who can exchange marriages.
Several families in the village are like this, and they are all living well. Why can't they do well when they come to our house? After all, you are still a good child who has educated her, and you have spoiled her to the extreme. You don't know how to understand the difficulties of your parents."
Mrs. Tan did not take the blame. She snorted coldly: "How come I have spoiled her? Even though I am a little girl, I have a stubborn temper. I don't know who I will follow?"
Uncle Tan: "Who can you follow? Anyway, you can't follow me."
Aunt Tan then said: "That's not just following me."
Uncle Tan leaned over, lay down on the bed, and closed his eyes, "Okay, okay, no matter who you are, I will go find her and come back tomorrow. I feel like sleeping now."
Aunt Tan sat still, then patted Uncle Tan's thigh for a while, and said cautiously: "Old man, what do you think we will do if we can't find the red plums?"
"Sigh -" Uncle Tan sighed, "I don't know how to do it. Just take it one step at a time. I just hope that my in-laws will think of us for the sake of seeing that Si Qiao is about to give birth."
Aunt Tan curled her lips and said, "What you are thinking is light-hearted. Just think of her mother. She is unreasonable and wants to fight for three points. She has such a big reason. How can she think about us?"
Uncle Tan: "Then what do you think we should do? Is it possible that I have to compensate Ernizi to them?"
"That's not possible!" Aunt Tan flatly refused, "Song Sili is already so old and Hongzhu is still so young. You can't harm my daughter like this."
Uncle Tan: "That's what I said. You still take it seriously. If it doesn't work, I'll sell everything to raise money for them. Just pretend that this daughter-in-law is not exchanged for her, but bought by me."
Aunt Tan: "How can we have any money? We are busy whittling all year round and can't save much money. I don't know what we are busy with."
Uncle Tan: "Borrow, if you don't have money, borrow. As long as it can satisfy your in-laws, I have to borrow even if we borrow money from usury."
The next day, the family stopped going to the fields and began to look for people in two ways. Aunt Tan took Hongzhu to her parents' house, and Uncle Tan took his son to visit relatives on the Tan family's side. As you can imagine, the result was that there was no trace of the family.
There's just no news.
After searching for several days with the same result, the family finally became discouraged and sat at home looking at each other.
The whole family went out early every day and came back late every day to look for someone, but the result was obvious, not even a trace of the person was found.
Siqiao was unwilling to give in and asked Aunt Tan, "Mom, don't you have any trust in Hongmei?"
Aunt Tan raised her eyelids with a frown on her face, "What a coincidence, there's nothing I can do about it. I've searched everywhere, but I can't find anyone."
Si Qiao was anxious, "What should we do? Mom, we can't keep this matter hidden from my mother. Sooner or later, she will have to know about it."
"Qiao, listen to mother." Aunt Tan sat next to Siqiao, held her hand in hers, and said earnestly: "It's not that mother wants to hide it from your mother, she is thinking about you. Take a look.
Your body is about to be eight months old. If your mother knew about this, she would definitely be anxious. If she came to the house and made a fuss, I would be afraid of disturbing you and the child. I think it’s better to wait a little longer.
The best time is to wait until you give birth, then I will come to your door in person to tell you."
"Oh." Because he has a strong mother, Siqiao has no independent opinion at home. Huang Dujuan does whatever he says. Aunt Tan's analysis makes Siqiao think it makes sense, "That's okay, but mother,
I think it would be better to tell my mother earlier."
Aunt Tan patted her daughter-in-law's hand and said, "Mother knows what she is doing."
Aunt Tan had a good idea, but it backfired. Hongmei and Wang Weidong were two living people who would not see each other in the village every day. Suddenly, they disappeared together. In addition, the old Tan family was everywhere everywhere every day.
Find someone, and if you have something good to do, start secretly asking about it.
There is no airtight wall in the world. I don’t know who knew that Hongmei and Wang Weidong ran away together. Gradually, the news began to spread in the village, saying that the two people eloped together.
The news spread from this village to other villages, and finally reached Suji. Huang Dujuan was not popular in the village, and there were only a handful of people who were close to her. When others heard the news, they all gloated and pointed at her, but did not tell her.
she.
Her popularity in the village had risen to another level. Huang Dujuan didn't know what was going on until her relatives heard about it before the news was revealed to her.
In a while, her daughter-in-law will be coming in. Huang Dujuan is in a good mood, smiling all day long, and is particularly enthusiastic about the guests who come to the house. "Hey, his third aunt, why do you have time to come to my place today?"
Come and sit down."
The people who came were none other than Huang Dujuan's sister-in-law, the three brothers Song Qingshu, the eldest brother Song Qingzhu, and the third brother Song Qingsong. They were all so far away that they were so close to each other. Their family was the farthest away from the third brother's family, and Huang Dujuan was just like this third brother.
Daughter-in-law has the best relationship.
Huang Dujuan and her boss live very close to each other, but the two families are like enemies, not as good as the relationship between neighbors.
The reason was that Huang Dujuan felt that the old man was partial and gave all the good things to the old man. For this, she even scolded the old woman in the face, saying, "You only know how to love the old man. Could it be that you gave birth to the old man?"
Did you pick it up or something? Just like that, she vented all her dissatisfaction with the old man on the boss and his family. She was even more sarcastic and had a bad look on her sister-in-law. For a while, her sister-in-law let her bully her to the point of being obsessed.
She was suffering from mental illness, and that time she really made Song Qingzhu anxious. He took a kitchen knife and wanted to die with her. From then on, Huang Dujuan restrained himself.
Chu Fang walked in and said, "Second sister-in-law, such a big thing happened to your family, why are you still so happy?"
Huang Dujuan didn't think so. Isn't it a big deal for her son to get a wife? She still smiled and said: "My son is going to get a wife soon. Can I be unhappy?"
Chu Fang pouted, "You still have a wife, haven't you heard?"
This tone and expression were obviously wrong. Huang Dujuan suppressed her smile and was a little confused, "What did you hear?"
Chu Fang: "Your future daughter-in-law eloped with someone."
"Nonsense!" Huang Dujuan didn't believe it at all, "Siqiao is at her house. If Hongmei really eloped with someone, could she go home and give me a message? No, don't listen to people's nonsense.
"
Chu Fang: "Don't believe it. Now I'm not the only one who knows about it. It's spread all over the village. They say that no matter how good you are, you can't win over others. Your daughter has been deceived, and you are still so happy all day long.
Like a fool."
