To everyone's surprise, Aunt Niu didn't seem to care at all and kept complaining that Liu Meihua was still holding a grudge because of Er Gouzi's matter.
He hasn't been behaving himself these past few days; he's probably gone insane.
She was afraid that letting people out would hurt everyone, so she had no choice but to keep them at home.
Since this gangster and criminal had already gotten away with it, almost no one wanted to have anything to do with this family.
The neighbor came over today simply because we live nearby; we've been neighbors for decades, and the daughter-in-law of this family is really disturbing the peace at night.
After Aunt Niu finished speaking, she thought of the crying and laughing sounds she sometimes heard at night, which did seem to indicate that the person was mentally unstable.
So they stopped paying attention to it.
...
Feng Dafa went to the town several times, offering gifts and even kneeling to beg for mercy.
It was completely useless.
Three days later, on the morning.
Er Gouzi is gone.
It rained for a while in the morning, and then a rainbow appeared in the sky around noon.
This was supposed to be a beautiful scene in summer.
But in the small courtyard at the east end of the village, no one was in the mood to appreciate it.
Liu Meihua was unusually quiet and well-behaved in the house today.
She didn't know if Feng Ergou had any regrets at the last moment.
But it's true that she feels a sense of emptiness inside.
After all, the two had been intimate so many times and had been husband and wife sharing a bed for a period of time.
Even though the two constantly argued after marriage, their previous deep affection was genuine.
She gently touched her slightly protruding belly. These past few days, except for mealtimes when the old woman would bring her a small bowl of food through the window, she ate, drank, and relieved herself all inside the house.
It's hot now, and she hasn't showered for days.
Not only did the room smell terrible, but she herself also reeked of a sour odor.
This can't go on.
The old woman wasn't crying outside today, and the old man is nowhere to be found either.
She figured they wouldn't notice her for a while.
Liu Meihua looked around the house where she and Feng Ergou had lived together.
She searched through all the bricks under the bed.
She even pried open the cracks in the wall.
She also ransacked the cabinets.
Except for one brick under which were five ten-yuan bills.
She also found two small yellow croakers, a watch, and some loose bills.
All in all, it came to a total of 123.8 yuan.
When she counted those numbers, she almost lost her composure.
When she got married, she asked for a bride price of 120 yuan.
The mother and son acted as if they were being asked to give them a piece of their flesh, saying they had no money.
Feng Ergou never revealed this to her.
This family didn't take her seriously at all, and Liu Meihua felt a chill run down her spine.
I quickly packed two pieces of my own underwear and my important belongings, and sewed the money and croissant into the lining of my underwear.
The watch was worn on the wrist and concealed by the sleeve.
She planned to leave this awful place after nightfall.
She has money and tickets; going anywhere is better than staying here.
The only troublesome thing is this little thing in my belly.
