After being married to Lu Yongguo for so long, this is the first time that Lu Yongguo has hidden something from Cree Yaqian.
He didn't say anything, and she didn't ask anymore.
She gives him the respect he deserves.
The next day, Lu Yongguo was still the same. He got up early in the morning, carried water, chopped firewood, helped Cree Yaqian work in the fields, and then went to the work early on the third day.
The days went on as usual.
During this time, more and more educated youths received news of returning to the city.
At first, some educated youths said that when they settled back in the city, they would take their wives and children with them.
Those who stayed in the village were still waiting foolishly, really thinking they could go to the city and live a good life.
However, the fact is that once a person leaves, there is no news about him or her.
This kind of thing happened so often that the villagers stopped doing it and kept an eye on the educated youths day and night, fearing that they would leave.
The educated youths were not happy either. They were not prisoners. Besides, everyone had the right to return to the city. They were only going to the countryside temporarily. They couldn't be trapped in this remote place for the rest of their lives.
The war between the two sides was about to break out, and the village suddenly became lively.
Xie Xiaojuan joined the team.
"You go, go, go, Yaya can't be taken away by you!" This is what Liu Feng's mother, Mrs. Liu, said.
"Why? Yaya is my daughter. Besides, you don't like her at all. You don't regard her as the granddaughter of the Liu family at all. Why can't I take her away?"
"How dare you say that? You married into our family, you didn't even leave any offspring, you ate our food in vain for several years, and you gave birth to this loser. If you leave now, are you worthy of us?"
"What does it mean to be sorry?
Didn’t I work? Didn’t I get cents?
You have torn up the books I want to read, and you have to stop me from this opportunity to recruit workers!"
Xie Xiaojuan completely collapsed and roared loudly.
"ah……"
Yaya on the side probably had never seen her mother like this before, so she burst into tears at the top of her lungs.
She was only three years old and didn't understand anything. She was just scared and stood by the wall, looking at her mother with tears in her eyes.
When Xie Xiaojuan heard her daughter's cry, her heart suddenly trembled.
As if he was discouraged, his whole body went soft.
She slowly squatted down along the wall, her whole body buried in her hands.
"Liu Feng..." she shouted hoarsely.
"Liu Feng, you lied to me..."
He said so many nice things when he first chased her.
He said: "Xiaojuan, don't dislike me for being a rural man, I will be good to you."
He also said: "Look at Cree Yaqian, people laughed at her at first, but what happened to her as a result? She lived a harmonious and beautiful life.
You will live the same life if you marry me.
Our newly built house has two rooms on the east side that belong to us. Isn’t this better than the house for educated youth?
I won't ask you to do anything by then, as long as I have something to eat, you won't be hungry."
At that time, Xie Xiaojuan really believed Liu Feng's words.
With the successful example of Cree Yaqian in front of her, she really thought that everyone in Daping Village was simple, honest and honest.
Later she realized how wrong she was.
But now it's too late to regret it.
It was a few days after Que Yaqian saw Xie Xiaojuan again. Her face was bruised and swollen, and there were scars on her neck and arms.
Cree Yaqian was shocked.
"What's going on?"
Xie Xiaojuan looked a little embarrassed, but the facts were here and there was no way she could quibble.
"What else can happen? Liu Feng." She said in a somewhat sarcastic tone.
"How could he do this?"
Que Yaqian is really a little angry. Although it is common for people in the village to beat their wives, she and Xie Xiaojuan are both from the city and have received a new education.
In addition, the Lu family had always been kind to her, and she had never thought that these barbarians were so close to her.
She quickly found ointment and applied it to Xie Xiaojuan.
There were patches of green and purple everywhere, and there was no good meat at all.
"We can't just let it go!" she said with some distress.
"Divorce her! It's not like we have no escape route. Your family is still waiting for you. We'll go back tomorrow.
Do you have money to buy a ticket?
If you don’t have money, I have it, so I’ll buy it for you.”
"Why divorce? I won't divorce!" But Xie Xiaojuan suddenly became stubborn.
"They can do this to Yaya now. If I leave, I don't know how to vent my anger on Yaya. If a new woman comes in, will Yaya still be able to survive?"
"Yaya is their granddaughter after all, so it shouldn't be a problem, right?" Que Yaqian said.
"What's wrong? That's the beast of the family! They only want a son, and their daughter is not even a human being in their eyes."
Xie Xiaojuan's words suddenly reminded Cree Yaqian of what happened in the hospital that day.
And that girl named Tingting.
When the news of Tingting's death came back, she was in confinement, but she still couldn't help but feel sad for a long time.
However, the Feng family seemed to be fine.
Although it is the instinct of most people to love their children, many people in the village still have this inherent thought that children and grandchildren are a tool to pass on the family line.
"I am Yaya's mother, I will protect her even if I risk my life."
Xie Xiaojuan's eyes gradually became firm.
"Actually, I've figured it out," she continued.
"Their family just wants me to give birth to a son for them, but I won't give birth to him even if I die.
Now that they have treated Yaya like this, they still don’t know what to do if they have a son.
I am right here, guarding my daughter, and no one can lay a finger on her. I can’t pass the college entrance exam, and I want my daughter to study and take the college entrance exam.
I'll just waste it with them to see who can outlast the other."
Que Yaqian looked at Xie Xiaojuan and moved her mouth, but the words never came out.
She protected Yaya, but what about her life?
What about her own life?
But there were some words she knew she couldn't say.
Life is like this, once you make a wrong choice, every step will be wrong.
It's all the path you choose.
What if Lu Yongguo is like Liu Feng?
Cree Yaqian doesn't know if she can do as well as Xie Xiaojuan.
It happened to be another Saturday, and it was time for Lu Yongguo to come back.
Lu Yongguo came back very late today. Cree Yaqian was waiting at the entrance of the village, watching him dragging his tired body slowly towards home, with the deep dusk behind him.
"Back?"
Cree Yaqian greeted him with a smile.
Lu Yongguo was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Cree Yaqian. After a moment, he smiled.
"Why are you waiting here again? The weather has turned cold, just stay at home. It's not like I can't find the way."
"I just want to wait for you." Que Yaqian said.
Lu Yongguo changed the things to one hand, and used the other hand to pull Cree Yaqian back home.
There were no words along the way.
"Are you back?" Inside the house, Wang Qiaoping brought a plate of fried bacon with garlic sprouts to the table and complained: "I came back so late. I have been waiting for you for a long time. Go wash your hands and face before eating."
"Um...I'm not hungry. I ate at work. You can eat."
After he said this, he walked into the house, leaving the people in the main room looking at each other.
