Chapter 039 Human nature is the last thing you can bet on
. "He was born without legs. I scared you."
The woman wrapped up the sheet that had fallen off carelessly and smiled at the young wife, "I'm sorry." "
No, it's okay."
The young wife put down the meatball soup and walked away quickly with weak hands and feet.
The mother-in-law glanced at the woman with disdain, "If I had known that the child you gave birth to would be either stupid or disabled, I would never let my son marry you."
The woman lowered her head.
The man smacked his lips, "I said I didn't want to marry you, but you insisted that you had talked to my aunt and she didn't want a dowry, just two sets of clothes. See, cheap things don't come cheap."
The woman looked up at the man in panic, her eyes red.
"Okay, who are you crying for?"
The man scooped up a meatball and put it to the woman's mouth, "Eat it. Fortunately, although this guy is a cripple, I don't care. I just don't want my daughter to go alone. Fortunately, we reacted quickly. If it was later, he would have paid a high price to find a whole one."
The woman ate the meatball gratefully, and slurped the soup in the spoon.
The man frowned in disgust, but didn't say anything. He lowered his head and continued to eat his own.
After the woman finished eating, she smacked her lips a few times. Seeing that the man wanted to eat more, the man impatiently fed her another mouthful.
"I'm good to you?"
The woman nodded quickly.
"Give me a complete baby next time. If you have this kind of sickness or disability, don't blame me for not appreciating our love for you and sending you back to your parents' home." The man said.
The woman was terrified and her eyes turned red. "I, I..."
"Go out and ask around. Who would support a daughter-in-law who can't give birth to a son? We have supported you for so many years. That's enough!" The woman finished her soup and wiped her mouth.
When the man paid, the woman kept saying it was too expensive. Just a bowl of soup cost fifty cents.
The man said he would have money later, and the woman stopped talking.
After the three left, Li Wenfeng also gave the money and called Li Liuli and Li Zhenzhu, "Dad has something to do, you wait here for a while..."
"Dad, I know where the police station is. Zhuzhu and I will go to call them." Li Liuli clenched her fists with a frown.
Li Zhenzhu also nodded with red eyes.
Li Wenfeng was stunned, "You..."
"I know the name of my aunt. She told grandma that someone wanted to exchange a son for my parents to take care of them in their old age, but she didn't say whether she exchanged her sister for someone else as a child bride, or for a fool, or maybe for..."
The little girl didn't say the word "ghost marriage" yet, but tears were already falling.
"They... are so bullying! I hate them so much!"
Li Wenfeng's heart was torn into pieces as if it was torn by some beast.
What kind of life are his wife and children living at home? !
He resisted the urge to kill and turned to ask the young wife for help.
The young wife waved to another stall and called the people over. Then she said to Li Wenfeng embarrassedly, "I heard everything. My husband's brother is from the police station. He happened to be on vacation today and came to help me run the stall. I asked him to go with you. The two girls will stay here with me. It will be absolutely safe. Don't worry."
"Sister-in-law, what is this?" The young man was a little puzzled. The young wife explained briefly, "They want to buy and sell children. Doesn't the country not allow it? You can go and see."
The young man glanced at Li Wenfeng, and Li Wenfeng introduced himself.
The two saluted each other, and seeing the family of three walking away, they hurriedly chased after them.
When the two sides meet to make a deal, they will catch them red-handed.
The family of three screamed and wanted to run.
The young policeman shouted, "Don't run! I know where you are from. If you dare to run away, we will arrest you when we come!" He
also said to the buyer who paid the money, "Feudal superstition is not acceptable. If you follow me back obediently, you may be released after questioning. If you run away, you will be punished with a heavier crime and spend the rest of your life in prison!"
After hearing this, no one dared to move. The
young policeman took a few people back to the police station and asked Li Wenfeng if he wanted to go with them. Li Wenfeng shook his head, saying that he had more important things to do.
He hurried back to thank the stall owner and took his two daughters home.
Li Zhenzhu's eyes were swollen from crying, "If mom hadn't run to the stove room and got a knife to scare grandma, my sister would be gone! I don't want to call them uncle or aunt anymore! I hate them so much!"
Li Wenfeng hummed, "If you don't want to, don't call them."
"Ali..."
Li Liuli grabbed Li Wenfeng's clothes at the back of his waist with red eyes, sniffed lightly, and responded.
Li Wenfeng's voice was slightly cold, "Your teacher is right, people will change."
Human nature is also the last thing you can bet on.
Look, he is a living example.
It's terrible.
It was a half-hour drive, but Li Wenfeng rode back in 20 minutes. He didn't return the bike first, but rode directly to Aunt Song's house.
He told her that he had already bought tickets and was going to take his wife and daughter to join the army.
Auntie Song was surprised, then smiled and nodded, "That's how it should be. How can a couple live apart all year round? Take your wife and your children with you." She
also reminded him, "Your wife is still in confinement. Go to the village to borrow a cart and get two soft and thick quilts. Don't let your wife see the wind..."
Li Wenfeng smiled and nodded.
"I still have some things to deal with. Auntie, can you take the two sisters there first? I'm afraid that what happens later will scare my wife."
Auntie Song frowned, "What do you want to do?"
"They have kept it a secret from me for all these years. As a man and a father, it's not too much for me to ask for some interest for them, right?" Li Wenfeng said calmly.
Auntie Song understood instantly and sighed heavily, "Okay, as long as you know what you are doing."
Li Wenfeng nodded.
Watching Aunt Song lock the gate and walk towards the Li family with her two daughters, Li Wenfeng stepped on the pedal and went to the next house.
Soon, a group of strong men from the village entered the Li family yard with hoes and shovels.
Mrs. Li was washing the bed sheets soaked with urine by Li Yuanbo under the scorching sun. She was startled when she looked up, "What are you doing? Mom, Mom! They are bringing their guys to our house to cause trouble..." Here they come.
She didn't shout out the last two words because she saw the gang split into two sides, and a familiar person walked in from the empty path.
"His second uncle?"
Li Wenfeng looked at her coldly, his eyes were dark and cold, and very creepy.
Mrs. Li had a bad premonition inexplicably in her heart, and she was very flustered.
"Mom! Mom!"
"Shout, shout, shout! What are you shouting for?"
Old Mrs. Li had flour on her hands. She walked out of the kitchen and was stunned when she saw a large group of people in the yard.
When she saw Li Wenfeng on the middle road, she smiled immediately, "Second son, Mom will quickly prepare the dough. We'll make dumplings later. You wait, it will be ready in a while. Dumplings on the bus and noodles off the bus. After eating, I wish my son good luck and safety. Take some burnt buns with you. It will bring you success and promotion and increase in allowance when you join the army..."
She talked for a long time, then stopped when she realized something was wrong and asked her son, "Why did you bring these people home? To help thresh wheat in the fields..."
"Mom, you do your thing. We have other things to do."
Li Wenfeng smiled at Grandma Li and called his playmates, "Don't smash the second room yet. Leave the main room alone. Smash the others first..." As
he spoke, he glanced around and his eyes fell on the roof.
"...starting from the tiles on the roof."
