"I made this place a mess, and of course I can't let you clean it up again."
Seeing that there were so many people coming, Ruan Qingyue immediately stood up and spoke. The appearance of this well-behaved and obedient lady made people even more happy to see her.
But there were still blood spots on her clothes and a drop of blood on her neck, which had dried up by now.
"Look at this girl, how sensible and kind she is. I don't know what Li Mei is thinking. Such a good girl must be forced to die."
"Good boy, sit down quickly. This half of your face is swollen. I'll boil those two eggs for you when I go home. You can rub your face to reduce the swelling. Otherwise, this night will be very difficult!"
A woman whose name Ruan Qingyue couldn't call turned around and left. Ruan Qingyue was about to speak but was distracted by the woman next to her by grabbing her arm.
"Let's see, oh! This slap is too hard."
Only then did Ruan Qingyue realize that half of her face was swollen and painful. The previous incident had absorbed most of her energy, and she had already forgotten that she had been slapped.
"It's okay, it's nothing serious. I don't feel any pain."
Ruan Qingyue saw all these women coming over to look at her face, and she suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
This was not a big deal at first, but being surrounded by this group of people felt like the sky was falling.
"How could this not hurt? That brother of yours is really a bad person. You just need to bite him. You should bite off his flesh and let him know it hurts."
"Who says it's not the case? Cuixiang girl did something wrong. How could he do something like this!"
Ruan Qingyue felt a little embarrassed at first, but as time passed, Ruan Qingyue no longer felt anything.
The focus of this group of people is not on themselves at all. Their focus is on what happened. As long as they can talk about it after dinner, it is enough for them to care.
In less than half an hour, the woman who left first came over with two eggs wrapped in handkerchief.
"Get out of the way, stop gossiping around, girl, take the boiled eggs and rub your face."
Ruan Qingyue was a little surprised that she actually boiled eggs for herself. Although every household now has enough to eat, these eggs are still a rare thing, and they are reluctant to eat them on ordinary days!
"Thank you, ma'am. I don't know what to call you."
Ruan Qingyue's words suddenly made everyone shut their mouths.
"Oops! If you can't call me what you want, it's worth asking me specifically. My maiden name is Hu. You can just call me Aunt Hu."
Ruan Qingyue nodded with a smile on her face: "Thank you, Aunt Hu, for treating me sincerely. I know that."
Ruan Qingyue's words made the people nearby who came here specifically to watch the fun stop laughing. They looked at each other and left in a wise mood.
The shop lady watched those women leave like that, pursed her lips and suppressed a smile, which made her even more interested in Ruan Qingyue.
This little girl has only been in the city for half a year, how can she change so much?
"Okay, okay, don't say any kind words, I got you some candy."
The lady at the canteen literally grabbed a handful of candies and stuffed them into Ruan Qingyue's hand.
"Thank you, ma'am, these are too expensive."
Ruan Qingyue followed up obediently, and still had to say the kind words that should be said.
"It's expensive anyway. You hurry up and eat. The meal will be ready soon. I steamed the salted fish I saved at home. Eat more today."
After the aunt at the canteen finished speaking, she went to the kitchen to continue her work. Aunt Hu sat opposite Ruan Qingyue, peeled the eggs and handed them to Ruan Qingyue to rub her red and swollen face.
"Girl, have you thought about what to do? You can't hide in Lao Zhao's house all your life. You have to think about what to do."
Ruan Qingyue rubbed her face and nodded.
She has already thought about these things, but she can't say it yet.
At this time, she was even more curious about why Mrs. Hu was so kind to her, and there seemed to be no such person in the memory of the original owner.
"I know, I'm thinking about it, I just haven't figured it out yet."
Aunt Hu sighed, pulled Ruan Qingyue's hand over and held it.
"Girl, find a family to marry! If you want to leave this family, you can only find a good family to marry yourself to. It's best to marry far away so that they can't find you again. Otherwise, you
I can only continue to be entangled like this for the rest of my life. When I was at my parents' house, my life was similar to yours. I also endured it for many years, and finally I could only come up with this solution."
Ruan Qingyue nodded. This time she finally understood why she was so kind to her. It was because of similar experiences that made her feel compassionate.
"Maybe there are other ways. I'll think about it again. In the worst case, it will be a fight to the death. I'm not afraid."
In the end, Ruan Qingyue did not express the solution she had already thought of.
The experience is similar, but she has a better way to escape, which inevitably makes people jealous. If she becomes jealous and tells her own way, the situation will be very different.
"Hey! Girl, if I had your courage back then, I wouldn't be in this situation today. I will help you, just like I helped myself back then. You can eat these eggs when you are done with them, or give them to me.
You replenish your body.”
After Mrs. Hu finished speaking, she left. Ruan Qingyue also sat quietly in the room, rubbed her face, and took a deep breath.
After all the fuss today, it should be very quiet at night. We will probably have to discuss everything tomorrow, so nothing will happen today.
During dinner, Ruan Qingyue specially thanked the aunt at the canteen. That night, Ruan Qingyue slept in the family's hut, with the door to the yard tightly closed.
It was a peaceful night, just as Ruan Qingyue expected. Neither Li Mei nor Ruan Qinglin came to make trouble again. It wasn't until after dinner in the morning and Ruan Qingyue helped clear the table and wash the dishes that Li Mei came to the door with Ruan Qinglin.
"Zhao, please hand over my daughter. Don't think that our family is afraid of your family. Please return my daughter as soon as possible."
Li Mei and Ruan Qinglin did not dare to go in and make noise. They only dared to shout outside the door. As long as Ruan Qingyue came out, their parents would do whatever they wanted to do if they took the person home.
"My surname is Zhao, what do you mean by holding my sister hostage? Hand her over quickly."
Ruan Qinglin was also clamoring outside. The two of them discussed it at home for half the night last night, and finally came up with this solution.
"Mom, brother, what are you arguing about? No one is holding me down!"
Ruan Qingyue heard the noise and walked out, but she just stood in the door and did not go out. She looked at Li Mei and Ruan Qinglin with a smile, and had no intention of leaving.
The auntie of the canteen was standing behind Ruan Qingyue. This canteen was the news distribution center in the village. From the time it opened in the morning to the time it closed in the evening, there were always people coming and going. At this moment, there were several people standing not far away looking this way.
