Chapter 111: Seeing Comrades



"Let's go meet someone." The two of them left the house and rode to the wilderness. After walking for a long time, they finally arrived at a wilderness and then at a grave. Then, Chuan lit a cigarette for the grave.

"Who is this?"

"Xiao Linzi, one of my comrades. However, he was sent on a mission more than a year ago and never came back. I only heard about him recently. Others thought he was a scoundrel, but in fact, he was sent on a mission."

"So, his family doesn't know either?"

"I don't know. The army will certify him after a while, but now he can only lie here alone, bearing the reputation of being a bad person who got beaten to death."

"..." Sometimes, being a soldier is also very helpless. In this case, the family must be very aggrieved because they don't know the real cause of his death.

"So we came to see him secretly, even though we were in the same class for only two days." And because he looked like a ruffian and I looked too decent and was too serious, we chose him. I didn't expect that we would be separated by death when we saw him again.

"Wait a minute, you said his last name is Lin, then is he the widow Lin from our village?"

"It's his widow."

"Oh." It wasn't written in these pages, but she suddenly understood why Ruchuan wanted to marry the young widow. He actually wanted to take care of her.

Because it is really not easy for a widow to live, especially since the man has been gone for a long time, it is not easy for her to live alone until now. Also, no wonder she was called a widow recently, I had never heard of such a person in the village before, it turned out that she was released because of the death of the man.

The two waited until the cigarettes were almost lit and then walked back. On the way, they suddenly heard people talking in the mountain valley, and a woman was crying. Ruichuan stopped and walked up two steps, and then Susu followed him. There were two people standing in the shadows, one of them was an ordinary-looking man, who looked quite honest.

The other one is the widow Lin.

She cried and said, "Don't force me."

"You could have rejected me when he was alive, but now that he's dead, why are you still so stubborn?"

"I know. If it weren't for the heavy snow you brought, I would have died of hunger at home. But...but...I just became a widow."

"Then I will wait for you all my life."

The man seemed quite excited, but he did not do anything to the young widow. But when he left, Su Su discovered that his legs were not good and he was lame.

And Lu Chuan watched all this coldly, then took Su Su away.

Su Su asked, "Do you blame her?"

"No." It's too inhumane to not allow a comrade to find another woman after he dies.

"I also think you shouldn't be angry." It turns out that this young widow and the cripple have known each other for a long time, and they seem to be in love, so the description of her having affairs in the book is not credible. But it is wrong to have an affair after marrying Ruchuan, but it is understandable if she only has an affair with this cripple who treats her well. Who made Ruchuan not come back once a year? Well, this is not a reason for an affair.

Without Ruichuan, I don’t know if they can be together.

Oh no, even if Ruichuan wants to marry her, it will take a year.

They returned to the Lu family, and the feast was over. The aunt and her son also arrived, and then Su Su saw Lu Chuan's uncle for the first time. He seemed to be a very honest man.

This time, my aunt's son did not dare to do anything rash, because Su Su was already a mother, and Ruchuan drove over with guards, which made him look even more difficult to deal with.

Lu's mother found a place for them to live, and the new house could no longer be lived in. Lu Chuan, Su Su, and their children lived in the small house, which was a bit crowded but not a big deal.

Luo's mother lived in the main house with her aunt and Luo Xiumei, Luo's father lived in the west house with his three sons, and Xing Ya lived in the backyard alone. Everyone else went out to find a place to live.

Although Lu Hai returned to the village to hold a wedding, the preparations were quite complete. All the clothes were new, and there were many things prepared for Xing Ya. The whole wedding was considered the best in the village. Lu Mu was a little afraid that Su Su would be angry, after all, she was too hasty at that time and didn't do the wedding well. She had talked to Su Su about this matter before, and Su Su felt that it was nothing, after all, there was no money at that time and the decision was too hasty. But now their family has money, and even the dishes have become twelve, and the quantity is more.

Everyone sat down, and Su Su came out with her child to entertain the guests. Everyone was enjoying the food and drinks at first, but suddenly someone said, "We caught a couple cheating on us. Come and see what they are doing." Then there was a burst of laughter, and Su Su felt bad.

After a while, some people came over, escorting a man and a woman. They were quite ferocious, and their clothes were torn.

The woman struggled hard but it was useless, and the man's face was swollen from the beating, and he couldn't even speak clearly. On the other side, Qin Yueyue stood aside, looking very noble.

Just like what was written in the book, except that this situation happened a year earlier. I don't know why, but they were caught again. However, the young widow was not yet Ruchuan's wife, and the lame man and her didn't seem to be having an affair, right?

Could it be that this lame man has a woman?

Just as they were thinking, they were pushed to the table. A man came forward and said, "Secretary, I caught them having an affair. The young widow has a pretty good figure, and is quite attractive." After saying that, he took the young widow and put her on the ground, saying, "I don't know how many men she has cheated with. Why are you covering it up? Are you afraid of being seen?"

"Yes, yes, she has such a coquettish look, so she should be taught to everyone that they don't have to bother with her anymore." Several tough and fearless women came over excitedly and pulled her clothes.

Su Su just frowned, picked up a bowl and suddenly threw it over.

With a bang, the bowl fell to the ground, and the sound of breaking made everyone stop and look at her.

Su Su asked, "What are you doing?"

"Catch the cheating widow. Good women, stay out of this matter. Be careful that she steals your man."

A woman said.

Su Su sneered and said, "Who are you, judges? How can you say that she is having an affair instead of having a legitimate relationship? She is a widow and she has no husband."

"Just because you're a widow, can you kiss someone secretly in a mill, especially with the landlord's son? You deserve to be caught and beaten..." said a man.

Su Su was simply stunned by their ideas and said, "They just kissed secretly and you arrested them for having an affair? Don't tell me, you have no right to arrest others. Even if you have the right, you have no reason to do so."

"Why is it nameless? Qin Zhiqing saw it with her own eyes. If she hadn't called for arrests, these two people might have done something more."

"Oh?" Su Su turned her gaze to Qin Yueyue. She had been fooling around with Lu Donghe before she got married, but now she was standing on the moral high ground to report others. What was going on?

"Teacher Su, please don't worry about this." someone said.

"I don't care, you can insult others? If they are attacked and retaliated for freely talking about love, we can't stay in this village." After Su Su finished speaking, Ruchuan from the backyard also came back. After asking what happened, someone said a few words to him.

As his comrade's wife, he had to protect her, so he said to the branch secretary, "I have something to ask her." He was referring to the young widow.

The branch secretary said, "You ask." In fact, he also felt that these people were meddling in other people's business. As the branch secretary, he knew that it was no longer allowed to collectively attack and harm others, as it might be illegal.

At this time, Ruichuan asked: "I know your man has been dead for a long time. Do you really plan to spend your whole life with him?"

He was referring to the lame man.

"I plan to spend my whole life with him, but he doesn't agree." At this point, she just said whatever she wanted to say.

"Why don't you agree?" Li Chuan asked the lame man again. Didn't he say before that he would support the young widow? Is this man unreliable?

"I, I have a bad background, and I'm afraid she will suffer if she follows me." The lame man has always been looked down upon in the village, and he usually squats in a corner when doing work.

Everyone in the village knew about Ruchuan, but Susu heard about him for the first time. She couldn't help but wonder why the young widow finally married Ruchuan, because Ruchuan had a good background. She could follow him without being laughed at, and then secretly meet the cripple.

Mad, suddenly I don't want to care anymore.

Why do all the women want to take advantage of Ruichuan? How unlucky is he?

Poor male supporting role, no wonder she came to him for help for no reason, it turned out that he was treated so badly by these women.

Suddenly she didn't want to care anymore and turned her eyes away.

Qin Yueyue said: "So you two are having an affair, right? Doing so will bring shame to the village."

Haha, you talk as if she has never had an affair.

Su Su laughed out loud, and Qin Yueyue felt a prick in her heart. Sure enough, there were some things that she shouldn't know. Now, she seemed to be inferior to others in every way. She wanted to be noble and let these people look up to her, but with Su Su, it seemed that everything she did was impossible.

Her self-esteem seemed to always be trampled under the other person's feet, and it really hurt.

"What are you laughing at?"

"Don't you know what I'm laughing at? They are in love and it's consensual. Why are you secretly here and accusing them of having an affair? It's as if you are bullying the two of them and no one is standing up for them." She glanced at her man, and now there was someone who stood up for them.

Chuan said to the lame man, "No matter what your class background is, if this woman wants to follow you, you have to take responsibility. How do you know that she will be wronged by following you? Now no one uses class background to make a fuss. Can you be a man?"

"I... can." The cripple was now helpless. They were both exposed and it was impossible to escape. He could only fulfill his responsibilities as a man. If he couldn't do it, he would do more and let her suffer less.

After the lame man finished speaking, Chuan said, "Alright, let him go. This is none of your business."

Those men listened to Chuan, and since one of them agreed to marry the other, they certainly didn't want to get involved. But Qin Yueyue said, "They both affect the image of our village. Why don't they punish them and just let them go? How can people in our village go out and meet people?"

Su Su laughed and said, "That's right. If you didn't shout, no one would know that they were in love and kissed each other. Besides, even if they knew that you and your man didn't kiss, you would still say that they were affecting the image of our village. What about you?"

"You...we are married."

"Who knows whether they kissed before getting married? If no one saw it, it would have no impact. If someone saw it, you would punish them. You are bullying others."

"They, a widow and a scoundrel, are not good people to begin with." Qin Yueyue said.

Su Su didn't want to intervene at first, but seeing Qin Yueyue using her own morality to hold others hostage made her feel particularly annoyed, so she said coldly: "Don't talk about how noble you are. You keep calling her a widow. Do you think it's her fault to be a widow? You know how much she has suffered. Did she want her husband to die? If he has a bad class background, he is a traitor. Who of you can prove that he doesn't work? Who has he harmed? Just because he has no support and a bad class background and is used to being oppressed, you bully him. This kind of people is the most shameless. You are kicking someone when he is down and have no good intentions. You think you are in a high position and judge others from a high point. This is simply the capitalist style."

The shadow of capitalism still exists in this era, so Qin Yueyue's eyes turned red when a big hat was pressed down on her. She said, "I am also doing this for the good of the village. The real capitalist is this cripple."

"Ha, Lame used to help you harvest wheat. At that time you cried and said thank you to Brother Dazhu, but now you are saying thank you to Brother Lame. Just like what Teacher Su said, do you really think I want to be a widow? My dead man was so good to me, but what could I do? He just left me like that, leaving me an orphan and a widow. If I could choose, I would also like to spend my life with him, so no matter how hard or tired I was, I didn't look for another man. It is enough for us to live together and take care of my son. But I still have my son, and Widow Lin is all alone. I heard that her husband left the next day after she got married. Everyone knows how she lives alone, but some people just want to bully others all day long. I, Widow Qiao, am not a good person, but I will not do such a wicked thing. "No one said anything at first, but everyone thought that what Widow Qiao said made sense.

Qin Yueyue snorted coldly and said, "I've said thank you for helping me with the work. Besides, it's wrong for Widow Lin to not be able to keep an eye on her man and let him go out and threaten the society. If I were her, I would keep a close eye on my man to avoid him dying without a burial place."

Bang! The table in front of Ruchuan was knocked over by his punch.

Then he said with red eyes: "Say it again? How can you say that Lin Dayong died without a burial place when you know nothing? He is a martyr, you know? A martyr. Do you think he wanted to get married and leave the next day? That was needed by the country. He... he was stabbed to death by criminals and then burned, and his body is incomplete. Yes, he died without a burial place, but all this is for this country. The reason why his identity cannot be made public is because he cannot prove his identity now, but his body will be moved to the martyrs' cemetery soon."

Qin Yueyue was so frightened that she dared not say a word. She had not expected the situation to be like this.

The situation suddenly reversed, and the person who had just looked down on others immediately showed a look of sympathy on his face.

The young widow suddenly started crying and said, "No wonder someone gave me money some time ago. I thought the money was from some unknown source so I didn't dare spend it. It turns out that he risked his life to earn it."

The person who was pulling her suddenly let go, and the lame man walked over to her, squatted down and said, "Stop crying."

Qin Yueyue also knew that this time her image among the villagers would not last long. She would be laughed at forever as if she were a little clown.

In order to save the relationship, she also felt that others were despised just like herself and said, "Since her husband is a martyr, she should keep guarding him forever."

"You divorced Lai Donghe and found a boyfriend less than a month ago. Lai Donghe is not dead yet, why don't you keep him?" Su Su said coldly.

Ruichuan said: "Soldiers and warriors will never let their women be unhappy. If they die, all their suicide notes will hope that their women can be happy and not worry about him and find another good man to live with. If one day I am gone, my suicide note will also be like this." After saying this, he glanced at Su Su, and Su Su's eyes turned red and said: "Don't worry, I promise I won't let you worry."

Chuan nodded solemnly and said, "So, Qin Yueyue, get out of my house. We don't welcome you to come over in the future."

Qin Yueyue wanted to say something else. She had never suffered such a great injustice. Especially since Chuan was originally her fiancé, but now he didn't take her seriously at all.

But the eldest aunt suddenly came over and said, "What are you doing? Go back and stop embarrassing yourself here." Then she forcibly dragged her away.

There were a lot of people pointing and talking behind them. Widow Qiao said, "Qin Zhiqing is an immortal and cannot tolerate even a grain of sand in his eyes. We are mortals and we have to do mortal things." After that, she continued to eat.

Everyone continued to eat, and someone asked the young widow to get up and eat. But she shook her head, and after being helped up by the lame man, she said, "Let's go." They probably had lost confidence in the people here, so they just wanted to leave immediately. But Widow Lin still looked back at Chuan and said, "Thank you." She wanted to vindicate her man and let her stand up straight in the future.

"Live well." His comrade-in-arms knew that he definitely hoped that this woman would live well.

But they were really pushed into a bad situation. History did not repeat itself today, and Su Su felt that this was not bad. At least they could live peacefully in the future without having to think about taking advantage of Luchuan.

Now, there are almost no people who take advantage of the Lu family, only Lushan and Lujiang are left. After the banquet, Susu asked Lushan which university he planned to apply to.

Lushan said: "I want to apply to X University of the East, is that ok?"

"Yes, but there are not many places for X University of Tokyo next year, and the score line is also higher than in previous years." Although Ruishan's academic performance is at the forefront, it may not be good enough if he gets a national score. Therefore, in this era, it is enough to be admitted to a university. If you want to enter a famous brand, you still need an extraordinary brain. Although the Rui family is smart, being admitted to X University of Tokyo is already considered quite good in this era.

Lushan said: "I should be able to do it."

"Then keep going. I'll mail you some study materials when I get back. Try to get into college in one try. Even if you don't pass, it doesn't matter. You can try again next year."

With Su Su's words, Lushan felt a lot less pressure. Recently, he had been thinking about taking the college entrance exam, and the pressure of getting into a good school was too much, and he almost couldn't breathe.

However, his sister-in-law, who is a college student, gave him motivation. At worst, he could just take the exam again next year.

His sister-in-law, as the head of the family, said that he could fight for another year. Of course, this was to find a way out for himself. In fact, he really didn't want to make up the exam.

Su Su said casually: "When you get into college, your sister-in-law will buy us a house in the city, and we can all move in."

When Lue's father heard this, he immediately waved his hand and said, "We won't have anything to do there and won't be able to earn work points. We'll starve to death."

"How is that possible? It's popular to open a grocery store now. I'll find a store there and you guys run it. That will be enough to cover our family expenses." Su Su wasn't joking. She had had this idea for a long time.

Ruichuan widened his eyes and said, "That's a good idea." When the time comes, my home will be close, and it will be more convenient for me to go home, especially since my parents are too old to do heavy work, so it would be better to move to the city. The most important thing is that my wife has the ability and I can help.

Mother Lu said, "We won't get you into trouble."

She was very grateful for the children's kindness, but she and her husband were afraid that it would be a lot of pressure if they were to go.

Su Su smiled and said, "What kind of pressure is that? Originally, we children were supposed to take care of you. However, due to work reasons, we have to stay there, but we still miss you. It would be more convenient for you to go there and take care of you when the time comes."

Mother Lu felt that what her daughter-in-law said was right. Last time her husband suddenly fell ill, if Lu Chuan hadn't taken him away overnight, who knows what would have happened.

"Then you guys should think about it first. Once we all go to City X, I think it will be boring for you two to stay here. It would be better for you to live in the city." Su Su didn't force them. This was their hometown, so of course they had to think it over carefully.

Ruchuan reached out and held his wife's hand, silently saying thank you.

Su Su shook hands back, and then it was time for the reunion dinner. She called the young couple in the back to come over for dinner, and found that they looked quite awkward. But soon, after the wedding night, their relationship would definitely be further developed.

After dinner, everyone prepared to rest. As for the wedding night noise, they didn't care and didn't ask about it.

After entering the hut, Chuan said, "Wife, do you really think so?"

"Yes, we can't enjoy ourselves there while our parents continue to farm and earn work points here. If we do that, everyone will say that we are unfilial. Besides, after Lu Hai got married, their salaries are not low, and you and I earn quite a bit too. It won't hurt if each of us gives them a little. The most important thing is that if the grocery store is successful, they will have an income, and we won't have to give them any money anymore. We can always be self-sufficient." Today's grocery stores save more money than modern small supermarkets, because a telephone booth, a cigarette, and a popsicle are enough to save money.

"Okay, you can make the decision." Ruichuan felt that his wife's plan was very comprehensive and he didn't need to worry at all. He had the final say in the army, but at home, his wife still had the final say.

Those who only listen to their daughter-in-law will have a good life, while those who don't listen to their daughter-in-law will have a hard life.
