He Meijiao looked at the handsome young man in front of her kneeling in front of Lao Wang's coffin. Knowing that it was Lao Wang's son Wang Ergou who had returned, she couldn't help feeling a little excited. Wang Ergou had always been the pride of Lao Wang and the whole country.
The only college student in Wangjiawan! This young man is so handsome, no wonder he was born to be a scholar!
He Meijiao walked up to Wang Ergou, gently pulled Wang Ergou and kowtowed three times to the coffin, and then said to the coffin in a choked voice:
"Old Wang, please open your eyes and take a look. It's your son Wang Ergou who is back! This is great, you can leave with peace of mind! There is also a pharmacy in the home you left behind, so don't worry.
I, He Meijiao, am yours, and your death is yours. Together with Ergou, I will make this home and pharmacy a good place!"
He Meijiao is a woman. It is not easy for a woman to say such things. Wang Ergou's heart moved slightly and he found that there were several uncles and other elders sitting in front of his father's coffin. Usually these elders seemed to have nothing to do with their family.
Guan Guan was sitting there with serious expressions on his face at the moment, as if he had had some unpleasant arguments not long ago.
An uncle-like man stood up, coughed lightly, then came over and grabbed Wang Ergou, looked left and right, nodded, and then solemnly said to Wang Ergou: "
Now, we are relieved that Ergou has grown up! This family can still survive! Otherwise, the pharmacy that your father worked so hard to run before his death would fall into the hands of people with other surnames!"
When Wang Ergou heard this, he immediately understood what was going on. He kowtowed, stood up, looked at everyone in the room, and finally set his eyes on He Meijiao. He pretended to be quite enthusiastic.
Walking up to He Meijiao, she said: "Of course, my father worked hard to run this family! No matter what, I can't let it fail in my hands! My father's biggest wish during his lifetime was to run the drug store well.
Go down! Now that I'm back, I will work with my stepmother to support this family!"
"Well said!" He Meijiao glanced at Wang Ergou personally, and a few tears suddenly filled her eyes.
Her father's funeral was scheduled for three days later. During these days, He Meijiao was busy here and there, handling everything just right. There was very little for Wang Ergou to worry about. Wang Ergou knew about some of the customs and habits in the countryside.
, he still has a little understanding of it. Without He Meijiao, he would not be able to cope with it at all!
Although the people in Wangjiawan gave He Meijiao thumbs up behind their backs, thinking she was a good woman and very capable in doing things! But on the surface, they all still sneered at He Meijiao! She cursed He Meijiao.
It's harmful, yes!
Wang Ergou saw all this, and at the same time, from He Meijiao's back, Wang Ergou could see some loneliness!
After the funeral, the family of three sat around the table to have dinner. The guests had dispersed, and the whole house suddenly seemed deserted. He Meijiao stared at Wang Ergou, as if she had something to say.
Wang Ergou buried his head in eating his food without making a sound.
"Er Gou, if you're not used to calling me mother, then call me aunt! I've seen everything in the past few days since you came back. I know you feel uncomfortable! Me too! But what can I do? I'll marry
Your father left in less than two months! What do others think of me? I don’t care, what Guan Jian has now is your attitude!" He Meijiao gritted her teeth and finally spoke out her innermost thoughts.
.
Wang Ergou was still eating his food silently, but his eyes were moist at this moment.
"You're going to school in a few days, right? This family will seem deserted without your father. People in the village are starting to talk about me behind my back, saying that I'm a vixen and a disaster! I'm not married.
Your father was in good health before I gave him to him, but after I married him, he became ill!" He Meijiao said, tears streaming down her face.
Wang Ergou raised his eyes and looked at He Meijiao. This poor woman in her thirties, this woman who is almost a complete stranger to Wang Ergou, how heavy is the burden on her now? She has been a widow once, and now
Being a widow again, is there really anything different about her?
Wang Ergou doesn't believe in superstition. He has checked the cause of his father's illness and read all the medical records in the hospital. He knows the cause of his father's death, but no one in the village will believe it. Wang Ergou
It was obvious how the villagers were mocking He Meijiao behind her back!
"Aunt, I know what you mean! Just relax! I have no objection to leaving Wangji Drug Store to Cuicui! And I know that after I leave, you and Cuicui will have a hard time!
Please let me think about it carefully and I will reply to you in a few days, okay?" Wang Ergou said to He Meijiao with difficulty.
He Meijiao smiled. In this smile, there was a hint of helplessness in the sadness, but also a hint of hope!
For several days, He Meijiao and her daughter Cuicui stayed home. They were like two ghosts in the village, afraid of seeing the sun!
Wang Ergou walked around the village when he had nothing to do. He was familiar with the village and the familiar villagers. However, what made people feel strange was that the village today is no longer what it used to be. There were some weird romances happening everywhere in the village!
For example, a woman from the Li family fell in love with a man from a certain village, and the father-in-law of the Liu family actually secretly slept with his daughter-in-law! People gathered together after dinner to talk about these things. It can be seen that the villagers were very concerned about these romantic affairs.
They all talked with gusto, and the people listening to the stories were also smiling happily! After hearing the stories too many times, everything became less strange!
What's going on? Wang Ergou frowned and thought secretly in his heart.
Soon, Wang Ergou found the answer in his heart! It turned out that most of the men in the village went to work elsewhere, but the women in the village shouldered the responsibility of raising the elderly and children. So in the entire village, women
The world is over!
When the men are not at home, the women will inevitably feel a little lonely during this long night, so some things happen that should not happen.
