At dusk, Goudan brought her dinner, as well as his own. It was a few dark, moldy dried sweet potatoes, but fortunately they were not very hard. Hu Xiaowei took a bite and found that the sweet potatoes were no longer in the city.
The roasted sweet potatoes that people eat have a sweet taste, but they are dry and astringent. However, they can't get enough of even this kind of food.
What kind of life do these people live in the mountains because of poverty and backwardness? Why can't anyone stand up and solve their life problems?
From then on, Goudan would come to Hu Xiaowei's room to have dinner with her every day. She would give him all her lunch meat and only eat bread and apples. Hu Xiaowei would also tell him many, many stories: Snow White and the Seven
Dwarfs, the emperor’s new clothes….
It was lunch time again. When she heard the lock on the door, Hu Xiaowei stood up and went to greet her - Goudan had brought food again.
The door opened, and surprisingly, it was Xiao Cui standing by the door.
"Don't give Goudan meat anymore, we don't want your charity." She put the plate on the ground angrily.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to offend you. I just saw that the child liked to eat, so I wanted him to eat more." Hu Xiaowei explained to her.
"Why didn't you city people see such kindness when you were exploiting us?" She looked at Hu Xiaowei with eyes filled with hatred.
"I know that your life in this kind of place is indeed much more difficult than ours in the city, and you have suffered a lot. I see you living such a poor life, and I am very worried. Believe me, I don't have any ill intentions. Besides,
I am your prisoner now." Every word Hu Xiaowei said came from her heart.
Xiaocui looked at Hu Xiaowei in surprise for a while, then turned her head and snorted from her nose: "We don't dare to treat you badly. You are our cash cow. The family's food and clothing depend on the commissions given by those people."
Hu Xiaowei smiled kindly at her: "Then you have to ask for more from them. Don't worry, they are very rich." Isn't that right? After Liang Wenfan handed over Wei Feng, Wang Xueqing's money was more than a thousand dollars.
Ten thousand.
Xiaocui looked at the woman sitting on the edge of the bed with sincere eyes as if she were a monster, and didn't know what to say for a moment.
Seeing that she was standing there motionless, Hu Xiaowei quickly stood up and approached her slightly, saying warmly: "Is the baby in your belly okay?"
Xiaocui replied, still coldly: "It's okay. Children who have grown up in bitter water have a hard life and cannot die."
Hu Xiaowei smiled and said: "I heard that pregnant people should be especially careful and not work too hard."
"Be careful? My life is not that good." She sneered. It was hard to tell whether it was a sneer or a bitter smile.
Hu Xiaowei ignored her sarcasm and continued to say good-naturedly: "I also heard that malnutrition can also lead to miscarriage. Now that you are pregnant with a child, you only eat sweet potatoes, wild vegetables and the like all day long, which is not good for you and the child. It happens that I don't
If you love meat, just do me a favor and eat these lunch meats for me."
Xiao Cui glanced at the luncheon meat on the plate, turned her head and said harshly: "I don't need it."
Hu Xiaowei was not angry, and still said with a smile: "But the child needs it. You don't want the last danger to happen again, right?"
She fell silent.
Hu Xiaowei simply picked up the bread and apples from the plate, and then handed the plate with two pieces of lunch meat in front of her: "Take the plate away. If you don't want to eat those two pieces of meat, just throw them away."
Xiaocui looked at Hu Xiaowei for a long time, then silently took the plate, opened the door and went out.
Putting her hand on her belly, Hu Xiaowei said softly: "Baby, it's not that your mother didn't want to give you meat on purpose, it's just that there is another little brother or sister who needs nutrition more than you. We still have bread and apples to eat, but Xiaocui
You can't eat more than a few meals of meat throughout the year, and the child almost died last time. Can you just feel aggrieved? When you see your father, your mother will feed you a lot of delicious food to make up for it, okay?"
In the silence, Hu Xiaowei's round belly rose and fell slightly with her breathing.
She lowered her head in concentration and made a face at the little baby who was invisible and unformed but was always with her: "Baby, won't you say anything? That means you agree."
Every day after that, Hu Xiaowei left the meat intact on the plate and asked Xiaocui to take it away.
She never asked her whether she ate or threw away the meat, but she believed that no mother would have the heart to ignore her children.
Xiaocui still talked to Hu Xiaowei, but her eyes were no longer hostile and wary.
In fact, Hu Xiaowei also knew that this was all she could do to help Xiao Cui. The two children were only a few months apart. They were both raised by their parents, and both were born into this world with their parents' ardent expectations. However,
One will have good food and clothing, while the other will have to struggle to survive in severe cold and poverty. Who should be blamed for this huge difference and cruel injustice?
Hu Xiaowei can only help her with a few pieces of meat now. But after these few days of encounters, her originally narrow world has been drastically changed. There are really so many people in this world who are struggling to have enough food and clothing.
He racked his brains and suffered a lot just to survive.
In the future, when she goes back, she will do her best to help as many people as possible. She believes that Liang Wenfan will support her decision!
She will not raise her child to be a condescending playboy. Hu Xiaowei wants him to stand firmly on the real land, see the misery in the world, understand his own luck, and use a compassionate and broad-minded heart to help the weak and relieve suffering.
It has been half a month since Hu Xiaowei was detained. In the monotonous and lonely prison life day after day, what she missed and cared about most was her family and Liang Wenfan.
Did she really agree to Wang Xueqing's conditions and give up Weifeng?
Is he now trapped in conflicts and difficulties, and doesn't he know what to choose?
Is he anxious about finding her now?
Did he lie awake at night worrying about her whereabouts and comfort?
No matter what, as long as he is fine and as long as he is safe, Hu Xiaowei feels that all the efforts are worth it, and she feels at ease.
Children will also grow up well here!
At night, Hu Xiaowei was just about to go to bed when a lock sounded outside the door. She got up from the bed in surprise - it was so late, who could it be?
The door was pushed open, and a narrow figure holding a kerosene lamp flashed in. His footsteps were as silent as a ghost.
Hu Xiaowei clenched the corners of her clothes with both hands, her back numb: "Who are you?"
"Ghost" put the oil lamp on the ground, turned around to face her, and then smiled sadly: "Hey, little girl, you are so forgetful."
His narrow eyes were all white under the dim light, as if they had no pupils or focus.
My God, it was the snake-like man who once dug hard at her chest. She would rather it was a ghost who came in at this time.
"What's wrong with you so late?" Hu Xiaowei tried hard not to let her voice tremble.
He took two steps closer and grinned deeply: "Why aren't you happy to see me? I have good news for you, do you want to hear it?"
Hu Xiaowei looked at him with fear: "Is it about my fiancé?"
"How smart. He is looking for you everywhere now. I believe he will find you here soon."
When Hu Xiaowei heard this, her heart suddenly fell to the ground.
"Our negotiations with him are going very smoothly, and you will be able to go back and be your young mistress soon." The corners of his mouth raised slightly, creating a smile that was hard to distinguish between genuine and fake.
"How much money did you ask Wang Xueqing for?" Hu Xiaowei thought, if Liang Wenfan could escape before Wen Fan let Wei Feng out, Liang Wenfan would not have to hand over the Liang family's foundation for generations to an outsider, especially if
Wang Xueqing, a woman as cunning as a fox, is even more unbelievable.
"What? You still want to pry into the corner and make us switch sides to your side. Little girl, you are too naive. In our industry, the most important thing is rules and trust. Just give up on this idea. Besides, your fiancé Ma Hui
If you give that away, you will become a poor man. I'm afraid that after he pays the commission, your family will have to drink the northwest wind! Then I will feel bad!"
As the man talked, he became obscenely efficient. In the silent night, he looked particularly terrifying and gloomy.
Hu Xiaowei felt sad - Wen Fan, I'm sorry for causing you trouble. If it weren't for her, she wouldn't have been checked by Wang Xueqing.
"What's the matter, Mrs. Liang? You're still frowning when you hear that you're going home. Are you reluctant to leave here? Or are you reluctant to leave me?"
Hu Xiaowei was secretly feeling sad when a pair of eagle-claw-like hands with a hint of coolness suddenly reached under her chin and raised her face sharply. Hu Xiaowei met a pair of eyes full of evil smiles.
She stretched out her hands to ward him off in disgust, but he took the opportunity to grab her hands, and then used his body to press her onto the bed.
Hu Xiaowei opened her mouth to scream, but a ball of cloth was immediately stuffed into her mouth. Then he quickly tied Hu Xiaowei's hands to the head of the bed with a piece of rope.
Hu Xiaowei screamed in fear, but she could only make a dull "Uh-huh" sound.
This man obviously came prepared. What did he want to do?
After tying them up, the man sat on Hu Xiaowei's lap, looked carefully at the frightened eyes on her pale face, and smiled sadly and with satisfaction: "I heard that you are the beloved of the eldest young master of the Liang family and cannot be touched.
Treasure, but now I am riding under me. If Liang Wenfan knew about it, would he feel as uncomfortable as swallowing a fly? "
Was he trying to humiliate Wen Fan by humiliating her? Hu Xiaowei stared at him with fear and hatred, hoping that he would give up this shameful idea.
He slowly bent over, and that creepy, pointed face stopped a foot away from Hu Xiaowei's cheek. A pair of narrow and cold pupils, almost submerged in the whites of her eyes, were intently searching and enjoying the depths of her eyes.
every trace of fear and humiliation.
"Do you think Master Liang will go crazy if he finds out that I possess the woman he loves most?" He smiled proudly, sticking out his tongue on Hu Xiaowei's face, and it was cold and slippery like a snake's letter. Hu Xiaowei
Suddenly, her body was trembling slightly with nausea. Her disgust and anger made her forget her fear. When his legs were loose, Hu Xiaowei lifted her knees up hard and hit him hard in the crotch.
