Chapter 352 Golden Black Heart

In the living room, Qin Xiao saw that there was no crying in the bedroom and the lights were off, so he went to sleep with peace of mind.

After having a nightmare, Jiang Wanwan seemed listless the next day and was yawning while eating buns at the dining table.

Qin Xiao also slept well in the second half of the night, and stayed in bed, refusing to get up: "Your husband Shen is really good to you. When I heard you crying, I turned on the light in the room immediately."

She buried her face in the quilt and said drowsily, "I was afraid you would be hungry this morning, so I bought you some buns and prepared water for you to wash your face. You are so lucky."

Jiang Wanwan felt dizzy and her head was spinning. She was only filled with sadness when she recalled her dream last night. The buns were stuffed with beef and she ate them too quickly, causing the filling to get stuck in her throat.

She took the bun, raised her throat and swallowed it, then drank some millet porridge to smooth it down.

"Don't worry, I'll call the capital later and tell Brother Hanzhang that you have escaped, otherwise he will have to go to Nanjing to look for you."

When mentioning Cheng Hanzhang, Qin Xiao buried his face even deeper.

What a sin.

She actually hasn't figured out how to face her yet.

Jiang Wanwan left after finishing her meal: "I'll put your portion of buns in the pot for you. Heat it up when you wake up. I'm going to the farm first."

Jiang Wanwan took her bag and went out. When she reached the door, she happened to meet a military comrade who came to her house. He was tall and had a square face. He looked friendly, as if she had seen him on duty at the door when she was entering or leaving the military area.

The man came to see Jiang Wanwan: "Hello, comrade, a comrade who calls himself Bao Erzhu came to see you just now. He brought a little girl with him and looked very anxious."

It’s Bao Erzhuzi. Is there something big happening in the production team?

Jiang Wanwan: "Thank you."

She trotted to the gate of the military area and saw Erzhuzi's donkey cart under a tree in front of the military area.

Erzhuzi got two thousand yuan from Jiang Lian, and Grandma Bao also earned some money from taking care of Qin Xiaoye, but they never showed off and still wore their old clothes. No one could tell that Erzhuzi had so much money.

There was a thin little girl sitting on the donkey cart. The clothes she wore were obviously tattered clothes left over from men, with patches on top of patches, made of blue cloth, gray cloth, and all kinds of other cloth.

"This is my sister-in-law."

Er Zhuzi hadn't seen Jiang Wanwan for a long time: "Sister-in-law, you and my brother are doing well, right?"

Thinking of the girl behind him, he made way and introduced her: "Early this morning, I was feeding the donkey with fodder, and she was sneaking in at the door of my house. I went out to ask her what she was doing, and she said she was looking for Jiang Wanwan."

Seeing Jiang Wanwan coming, the little girl got out of the car and almost fell down.

Jiang Wanwan recognized her when she approached: "You are Li Yu."

She reached out to support Li Yu and noticed that she was wearing rough straw sandals that she had woven herself. Straw sandals were hard and difficult to make. They required using straw as the weft, rubbing, twisting, and interweaving it, and pushing and squeezing it with the thumbs to make a thick sole. Then the hemp ropes had to be tied into bundles and used as the uppers before they could be worn.

Comfortable straw sandals require strength and skills to wear without hurting the feet. Jiang Wanwan guessed that Li Yu's straw sandals were made by herself. The soles were loose and the uppers were loose, which rubbed the feet. At this time, the original appearance could not be seen, and only her feet that were rubbed bloody could be seen.

It wasn't very far from Li Yu's home to their production team, but it was hard to say what would happen if she wore such shoes.

What's more, it was autumn now. The weather was hot, but cool in the morning and at night. There was dew on the grass. Her worn feet walking towards him in the dew was like rubbing salt into the wound.

Jiang Wanwan observed carefully and figured it out in her mind at a glance without looking at it any further.

Li Yu nodded when she saw Jiang Wanwan, then took out a piece of paper from her pocket, which was wrinkled by her. "The person who went to my house with you to buy a jar last time came to my house yesterday afternoon and bribed my parents for 20 yuan. That person wanted my parents to report you. If the report is successful, they will arrest you and return the money to them."

Li Yu handed the note to Jiang Wanwan.

Jiang Wanwan took it and opened it. It was the transaction slip for her and Li Mazi to buy the jar sticks.

She was afraid of this happening, so she deliberately wrote the wrong name.

She put the note in her bag: "Did you steal this?"

Jiang Lian, you are really desperate.

Li Yu nodded.

Before leaving, she told Li Yu that she could come here to withdraw 80 yuan. Before she got the money, she was willing to risk being beaten by her family to steal the note, and then walked to their production team with difficulty to ask around.

The little girl was thoughtful. Jiang Wanwan felt very distressed when she saw how skinny she looked.

Li Yu was confused: "I don't know where to go. My parents won't let me go. Even if you give me the money, I can't keep it."

Her voice got smaller and smaller: "I want to get married, but they won't let me go. Someone like me can't marry into a good family. My stepmother can't stand seeing me get along well, so she wants to marry me to an old bachelor with no son, or a second marriage with children."

"It's better to have no money at all than to have a sudden fortune. At most, I will suffer a little. If you give me money, they will think I am useful and may even use me to harm you."

Liquor makes people famous, but gold makes people’s hearts black.

Most people can't stand the test of money, so it's better not to try it.

"After my mother died, you were the best person to me. I...I came here this time to thank you for helping me. I also want to tell you that you don't have to give me the money."

When my mother was alive, she often complained that my father didn't love her, my grandmother always beat her, and my mother couldn't stand up straight.

Only after her mother died did she realize how wonderful her life was.

There are too few good people. She received warmth and kindness from Comrade Jiang and wanted to give it back to her.

Apart from stealing the deed, she couldn't take anything else out of her.

Based on these words, Jiang Wanwan and Bao Erzhu both looked up to Li Yu. It was not that she regarded money as dirt, but that she saw through human nature but was still willing to hold a grateful heart.

Jiang Wanwan grabbed Li Yu's hand and said, "If I can rescue you from your home and they have a hard time in the future, can you promise not to help?"

Li Yu didn't even dare to dream of getting away from that family completely.

How is that possible?

Li Mazi and Liu Sufen wished they could torture her to death.

but.

Comrade Jiang asked this question. Li Yu did not want to doubt her, so she just gave her own answer: "Even if Li Mazi, Liu Sufen, and Li Yuanbao fell into the river in front of me, were crushed by rocks, and knelt in front of me to beg me, I would not help them."

Jiang Wanwan wanted a positive answer: "Okay, let's do this. Don't go back today. Let Erzhuzi take you back tomorrow morning. If they beat you up after you go back, you can make a scene. The bigger the better. Oh, by the way, return this note to them."

Jiang Wanwan thought about it and handed the note to Li Yu.

Li Yu didn't understand why Comrade Jiang asked her to return the note. She didn't doubt it or ask, "Yeah!"

After that, Jiang Wanwan asked again: "Your hair..."

The braids that I had last time were quite long, but now they have become short, uneven and messy hair.
