Haitang stood there, holding the letter in her hand, with a smile on her face, which was reflected red in the morning sun. She liked the feeling of receiving Datong's letter, and the joy in her heart spread to her face.
No one except Datong would write to her.
Last night's nightmare has long been forgotten.
Touching the letter, you will see Datong's thoughts, his joys and sorrows, and how he spent these days in the capital. He will write clearly and tell his wife.
Datong's clear eyes once again flashed in Haitang's mind, like a distant lover. Otherwise, when she thought of him, she would be filled with joy.
"Sister Haitang, is this a letter from Brother Datong?" Lamei could already see that Haitang's face was shining brightly.
Haitang nodded.
I couldn't help but be happy.
"Look, brother Datong has become a high official. What is this red thing?" Lamei asked.
I have read the letters from home before, but they are definitely not sealed with fire paint.
Winning the first prize was different. Lamei was convinced that Brother Datong must have become a high official, maybe even higher than Zilu, that servant!
Zilu glanced over here. He was sending a letter from home, so naturally it was inconvenient for him to go over and join in the fun.
There was a pattern printed on the fire paint. It was vague and not very clear, so Haitang didn't pay much attention to it.
Caressing it, I can't bear to open it, because after reading it, the joy will gradually dissipate, and I can only think about it slowly, and now I am in the mood of anticipation. It is the same joy, but in a different kind.
"Sister Haitang, come and have a look." Lamei kept urging. She wanted to know how Brother Datong was doing in the capital. If he became a higher official than Zilu, it would be a shame to the head of Qiaotou Village. Look at this Zilu.
How can you show off your power?
Haitang did not destroy the paint. She wanted to keep everything related to Datong intact, so she opened it gently with a knife from the other end of the envelope.
In addition to a letter, there was also a twenty-tael banknote, which was accepted by all banks across the country. But it was not the one Haitang gave him before Datong left.
Although Lamei is illiterate, she still knows banknotes.
"Hey, brother Datong has become so successful that he knows how to send a banknote to my wife. This is a banknote sent by brother Datong. From now on, Sister Haitang will no longer have to dye cloth. She can survive with brother Datong's banknote.
Life is better than anyone else, better than people in the county, even the capital!" Lamei said with envy. She really hoped that she could find a good man like Brother Datong in the future.
As soon as she heard the letter from Datong, Tian Niu also came around. Granny Haitang naturally came out with Tian Tian in her arms. She wanted to know how Datong was doing and whether everything was settled. She planned to take her to the capital for a stroll.
Woolen cloth!
Ertong had not yet gone out with the hoe, so he came over first to listen to what his elder brother said in the letter. The crops were about to be harvested. At this time, there was nothing he could do to go to the capital. Ertong thought to himself.
Haitang gently opened the folded letter, under everyone's expectant eyes.
But when she read the letter, all the luster on her face disappeared!
In an instant, I fell from heaven to hell!
This is not a letter from home, but a divorce letter!
It is a letter of divorce written by Tian Datong to Bai Haitang!
Every word was written vividly in his mind, and his words were sharp. He did not care about past kindness at all, let alone his daughter Tiantian, and even gave her away with twenty taels of silver notes!
