From this, it seems that Wang Xiaoyin's husband treats her very well.
After paying, Uncle Yu went inside to get the pheasant and brought it out.
"Uncle Yu, we'll be going now, we'll come again next time."
"Okay, drive carefully." Uncle Yu smiled and watched them leave.
Besides Uncle Yu's family, some shrimp and crabs were exchanged with the villagers, as this is the season for eating crabs.
"Sister-in-law, do you really like eating crabs?" Wang Xiaoyin couldn't help but ask as she watched Lin Qiyue buy more than a dozen crabs.
Lin Qiyue shook her head and said, "No, it's just that my two sisters-in-law on my floor love to eat them. They've always taken good care of me, and they're reluctant to eat crabs themselves. They're very expensive outside, and you need ration coupons to exchange them in the village. I bought a few for them to share, as a way of thanking them for taking care of me these past few days."
Actually, she saw that the old lady selling crabs had wounds all over her hands, and she felt sorry for her, so she bought them.
In fact, people living in seaside villages have very low incomes.
Seafood is low-cost; it's not expensive to buy nearby.
Upon hearing this, Wang Xiaoyin felt that Lin Qiyue was a very gentle, kind, and grateful girl.
“Where we live, crabs are very expensive, you can’t eat more than two, and shrimp are even more unattainable!” She thought of her hometown, where everything was lacking. “The conditions here are much better than in my hometown. Sometimes we can only eat one meal a day, and sometimes we can eat two meals a day.”
"That serious?" Lin Qiyue was shocked when she heard this.
“Yes.” Wang Xiaoyin said seriously, “It’s true, before I married my husband, I basically ate one meal a day and had to go to the brigade to work, so I ate one meal every three days or two meals a day.”
Lin Qiyue suddenly looked at Wang Xiaoyin with a pang of heartache.
It seems she's doing quite well; at least after getting married, she has two meals a day.
She used to eat one meal at the factory and another at home. After Lan Yuchu came back, she was able to eat three meals a day, and sometimes she even had a late-night snack.
"Is your husband good to you?" On the way back, Lin Qiyue asked Wang Xiaoyin with some curiosity after hearing her complaints.
Is the mark on her neck a result of loving relationship or domestic violence?
She had heard of domestic violence in the family compound as well.
"My man! He's been so good to me." Thinking of her husband and how harsh he was to her at home, her face immediately turned red.
Lin Qiyue immediately understood when she saw how shy she was.
She suddenly asked curiously, "What's your husband's name?"
“My husband’s name is Lei Zhengguo, and he is the battalion commander of the Fifth Battalion,” Wang Xiaoyin said immediately.
Lin Qiyue realized that a few days ago, when she went to the canteen to get food, she heard Su Xiaole say that Lei Zhengguo was an excellent battalion commander who had gone home to visit his family some time ago and brought his wife with him when he returned.
The woman they were talking about, Lei Zhengguo's wife, turned out to be Wang Xiaoyin.
She had previously heard Su Xiaole say that Lei Zhengguo's wife was a discreet woman who had used the same method to have intimate relationships with two men, both of whom were soldiers from the same military region.
She was rescued by Sun Dewen, who returned a few days earlier, when she jumped into the lake for the first time. Her mother then drugged him and forced him to marry her daughter for 300 yuan.
Even though Sun Dewen was drugged, he managed to leave the girl's house by sheer willpower, which prevented the affair from succeeding.
Later, the girl tried to jump into the lake again, but was rescued by Lei Zhengguo who happened to be back. Her mother went directly to their house to demand money, saying that she insisted that Lei Zhengguo marry her daughter.
Lin Qiyue was still mentally complaining that this family was so cunning.
Looking at Wang Xiaoyin, she doesn't seem like the kind of person who would scheme. Could there have been some misunderstanding?
Noticing Lin Qiyue's expression, Wang Xiaoyin said dejectedly, "I became famous on my very first day here, and everyone dislikes me. My sister-in-law must have heard what they were saying about me."
Actually, she also felt that she had let her husband down.
But her husband didn't despise her, nor did he treat her badly because of her mother's situation.
"Is there some kind of misunderstanding?" Lin Qiyue recalled what Wang Chunhua had said earlier, that she jumped into the lake after being rejected by her fiancé.
After Wang Xiaoyin recounted her experience, Lin Qiyue finally understood what had happened.
He jumped into the lake because he really didn't want to live, but he was rescued both times.
Wang Xiaoyin's mother died while pregnant and was rescued by a family in the village. Later, the man of that family forced her to marry him. After giving birth to Wang Xiaoyin, her stepfather forced her mother to have two more children, a sister and a brother.
Wang Xiaoyin's stepfather's family disliked her. If it weren't for her mother's insistence on keeping the child, Wang Xiaoyin would most likely have been sold to someone else as a child bride.
Because her mother had arranged a marriage for her, the family was a bit poor, and Wang Xiaoyin's fiancée was a little mentally challenged.
Just as the wedding was about to take place, the family believed rumors that Wang Xiaoyin's mother was immoral and that her daughter was the same.
After the engagement was called off, she couldn't stand the gossip and planned to commit suicide by jumping into the lake at night, but was saved by Sun Dewen who happened to be passing by.
In order to give Wang Xiaoyin a place to stay, the mother invited someone over for dinner the next day, and drugged them, hoping to force the issue.
The affair didn't go through, and it was Wang Xiaoyin who let him leave. Afterwards, Sun Dewen's fiancée came to his door demanding an explanation and berated Wang Xiaoyin mercilessly.
The whole village knew that Wang Xiaoyin couldn't go on living and jumped into the lake again, which led to what happened later.
Lei Zhengguo married Wang Xiaoyin so that she could survive, and they gradually developed feelings for each other.
As we chatted, we returned to the family compound.
After saying goodbye to Wang Xiaoyin, Lin Qiyue went home.
