Su Nuan was chatting with Tang Jinhui in the living room, while Manzai was playing by himself nearby. In Tang Jinhui's words, this child was not clingy at all.
Su Nuan has been in seclusion writing recently, and she heard a lot of things about the compound from Tang Jinhui today.
"It is said that Lu Shaojun took the college entrance examination, but failed. Then someone introduced her to a guy and she just married him casually."
Su Nuan found it a little unbelievable after hearing this, "Would she be that kind of casual person?"
Lu Shaojun has high standards and she probably wouldn't be interested in ordinary people.
Old Mrs. Li also dotes on the child, she won’t force her to get married, right?
"It seems that it was her sister-in-law Cheng Yanzhen who said it outside, and also said that her sister-in-law's husband would beat women. Not long after they got married, her sister-in-law asked for a divorce, causing the Lu family to be laughed at by the people around them in their hometown."
Su Nuan frowned, but this was someone else's family business and she couldn't care less. All she could do was not gloat over it.
"Lu Shaojun got married, and Lu Shaohua, as her elder sister, started to get anxious and went on blind dates during the Chinese New Year."
"And Cheng Yanxi seems to be on a blind date as well."
Su Nuan disagreed, "When you reach the age of marriage, it's normal to go on blind dates."
Tang Jinhui responded: "You don't understand them. They used to wait for others to pursue them."
"Although I admit that they are good-looking, they are too ambitious and think they are superior to everyone else."
"Everyone was surprised to hear that they were going on a blind date."
Su Nuan found that she had no interest in worldly affairs now, and she almost couldn't help yawning when she talked about other people's gossip.
Seeing that Su Nuan was not interested, Tang Jinhui immediately changed the subject, "The educated youth Li Tiantian you know is dating the son of the workshop director of our pharmaceutical factory. It seems that they are planning to get married after the Chinese New Year."
"How do you know her?" Su Nuan was surprised.
"Didn't Li Tiantian come to our army and say she wanted to see her brother?"
"We all know in the compound that you have a sister-in-law named Li Tiantian."
"One day I heard from a colleague that the workshop director's son's girlfriend was named Li Tiantian. I asked around and found out that she was an educated youth, so we matched them up."
What they didn't know was that Li Tiantian was soon dumped by the workshop director's son. During the Chinese New Year, the workshop director's wife introduced a blind date to her son. The son fell in love with the blind date at first sight and got married on the third day of the Chinese New Year.
Li Tiantian found out the truth afterwards. She went to make a scene once, but was carried out by others.
During this period, a male educated youth took good care of Li Tiantian and asked her about her well-being. Li Tiantian got together with the male educated youth, Yan Li'an, on impulse.
Yan Li'an took the college entrance examination twice, but failed both times.
With no hope of returning to the city and seeing himself getting older, he began to set his sights on the female educated youth.
The other female educated youth ignored him, but Li Tiantian was the only one who was moved by him. He used all his strength to leave a good impression of gentleness and thoughtfulness on Li Tiantian. Li Tiantian's heart softened and she gave herself to him.
Li Tiantian is almost 24 years old and has physical needs. After several sweet dates with Yan Li'an, she found that her period was delayed.
She suspected that she was pregnant, so she hurried to get the marriage certificate with Yan Li'an. The next day after she got the marriage certificate, her period came.
Li Tiantian felt a little regretful, but since it was a fait accompli, she couldn't change anything.
Yan Li'an's family was very poor and could not afford any money for the bride price.
Yan Li'an also had to send grain back home every year.
Li Tiantian had countless arguments with Yan Li'an over this.
They watched more and more educated youth return to the city, but they had no money or connections to help them get back, and Li Tiantian's resentment towards Yan Li'an grew deeper and deeper.
She also hated her mother Ye Hong. Why hadn't she contacted her for so long?
When she was transferred to a new place in the countryside, she sent a telegram back specially.
In fact, Ye Hong's life is worse than anyone else's.
She had stolen money and ran away before, and she had no letter of introduction so she couldn't go anywhere.
When she ran out of money, she had no choice but to beg on the streets.
The next day after she started begging, she was spotted by human traffickers and sold to an old man in the mountains to be his wife.
Ye Hong is in her 40s and has difficulty getting pregnant, but the old man still wants her to give birth to a big fat boy for him.
The old man was very dissatisfied with the fact that Ye Hong had not gotten pregnant, and he started beating her when they had a disagreement.
There is basically no good part on Ye Hong's body.
Ye Hong escaped several times, but was caught by people from the same village each time.
She felt that everyone in the village was helping the old man to supervise her.
Late one night in April 1979, Ye Hong took advantage of the old man being drunk and unconscious and set the house on fire.
Neighbors in the mountains lived quite far from each other, and by the time someone found him, the old man and his house had been reduced to ashes.
In addition, Ye Hong also set fire to the houses of several people who had helped capture her when she was escaping.
That night, the fire in the small mountain village illuminated the entire night. After the raging fire burned down the houses, it spread to the grass and woods. The fire all over the mountains seemed to be about to devour the entire small mountain village.
Thick smoke billowed and people's screams were deafening.
When Ye Hong ran until she was out of breath, she couldn't help but look back at the place where the flames were raging and laughed out loud.
She hadn't been this happy in a long time.
Ye Hong escaped from the small mountain village and ran straight to the train station.
