Chi Yin returned to her room. There was an 80-foot-tall wooden bed, a solid wood red-lacquered wardrobe, a bedside table, and a dressing table. They were all the dowry that Zhou Lanhua had given her.
Three hundred yuan was all the savings that the two old people had accumulated through their frugal life.
She just hoped that Wei Chengliang would treat her well.
Facts have proven that marrying a Phoenix Man will not only bring you bad luck for the rest of your life, but may also cost you your life.
Chi Yin took the marriage certificate from the cabinet, took out the suspenders hidden under the quilt, and turned around and walked out resolutely without any reluctance.
Passing by Zhang Xiufen's room door, Wei Chengliang's ghostly howling cry was about to pierce the eardrums, "Mom, I regret it so much, I shouldn't have told you..."
Chi Yin suppressed the sneer in the corner of his lips. It must be said that this dog with a human face and a beastly nature is the best at acting the heartbroken scene.
What a pity. After living a second life, she can clearly see whether someone is a human or a ghost.
Wei Chengan was obviously also annoyed by Wei Chengliang's noise, and frowned slightly, "Brother, don't cry, take care of yourself."
This sentence made Wei Chengliang even more emotional. He cried "Mom" and tears seemed to be hanging on his eyes. He felt so broken.
...
...
Wei Cheng'an was afraid of disturbing Zhang Xiufen, so he reached out to hug her, but Wei Chengliang held her away.
Wei Cheng'an patiently advised, "Brother, don't cry, Mom is not dead yet."
Wei Chengliang glared at him with red eyes, "You don't understand, my aunt has loved me the most since I was a child."
Wei Chengan came out of the room anxiously, and when he looked up, he saw Chi Yin stepping out of the threshold of the living room with a baby carrier in hand.
The child had already moved to the yard to play with the local dog under Chi Yin's comfort. Xixi saw the baby carrier in her hand, looked up and asked curiously, "Mom, where are we going?"
Chi Yin squatted down, touched the child's furry little head, and smiled gently, "Mom will take you to the county town."
Xixi asked again, "Where are we going to the county town?"
Wanwan rushed back, "You idiot, of course it's grandma's house."
Chi Yin was stunned. She wished she could leave with her child without any regrets and never set foot in the Wei family again.
But the child is three years old and no longer needs to be coaxed.
She didn't want her child to spend a long period of time crying and throwing tantrums.
Chi Yin pulled her twin daughters in front of her, her brows stern, "Mom will take you to the county town, but it's not your grandmother's house. From now on, the three of us will live together, okay?"
Xixi's little face showed anxiety, "Aren't Dad and Grandma going to stay with us?"
Wanwan blinked her watery eyes, looking confused.
Chi Yin shook her head, and Xixi calmed down after seeing this.
They often went to Yanhe County to live with their grandparents. They had seen a lot of gossip about couples quarreling, and roughly knew what it meant for a couple not to live together.
For Zhang Xiufen, playing mahjong is her primary occupation. She only looks after her granddaughter occasionally when she can no longer play.
Wei Chengliang and Chi Yin were rarely together. Wei Chengliang was assigned to work in the textile factory for three or four months at a time, and he was not present when Chi Yin gave birth.
He had only carried his child on his back a few times until he was three years old. Every time he got off work, he would just lie down and listen to the radio after eating.
Among the Wei family, the two children are closer to Chi Yin.
If mom and dad are divorced, then you must follow mom.
Wanwan was confused for a moment, then nodded vigorously without hesitation.
Seeing her sister agreed, Xixi answered without thinking, "I want to be with my mother forever."
Chi Yin raised the corners of her mouth, revealing a beautiful smile. She hugged the children tightly and kissed each of them on the little face.
Chi Yin didn't delay any longer, and walked out of the yard, carrying the two straps one in front and one behind.
The yellowish dog followed to the gate of the yard holding a chicken paw in its mouth, as if it knew that the mother and her two daughters would never come back. It hung its tail low, looking very sad.
As she stepped out of the threshold of the Wei family compound, Chi Yin felt calmer than ever before, and even felt a little relieved that she had saved her child from the clutches of the devil.
The local dog followed the mother and her two daughters for a long distance, and kept sniffing Chi Yin's trouser legs with its nose.
Chi Yin finally couldn't bear it anymore, so he stopped and bowed his head to persuade it, "Go back, I'll pick you up at the entrance of the village after you've settled down."
The local dog seemed to understand and immediately squatted down with its tail between its legs.
Xixi on his back looked back at the home that had become a small house, and his soft voice sounded a little hesitant, "Mom, will we starve to death?"
Chi Yin continued to walk forward, her tone firm, "No, without Dad and Grandma, our lives will only get better and better."
The twin daughters were born prematurely and were smaller than other children of the same age. They became very picky eaters when they grew up and were just a light ball at the age of three.
The two together weigh less than 40 kilograms, so it doesn't feel heavy when carried.
It was quiet all around, without even the chirping of insects or the barking of dogs.
It took Chi Yin less than forty minutes to reach Yanhe County.
She walked towards the county party committee compound, chose a hotel that looked clean and sanitary, and checked in.
After arranging for her twin daughters to fall asleep on their own, Chi Yin walked out of the hotel and went from house to house to inquire about rental houses.
In 1987, there were many public housing units for rent in the county town, and the rent was low, but one had to queue up and wait for a spot.
There are also some self-built houses that are rented out privately, but they are few in number and mostly concentrated in the old city.
It just so happens that the county party committee compound is located in the old city area.
This is also the reason why Chi Yin chose this hotel to stay in, so that it would be easier for her to find a room.
Things went smoothly. A family built a two-story red brick house in the new city area, and agreed to rent an empty one-story mud brick house in the old city area to her.
Chi Yin asked the old man to help clean up the yard, and she would sign the rental agreement after she came back with the money.
It was already eleven o'clock at night when they arrived at the Chi family's house. Chi Yin tiptoed into the room and groped for the wooden bedside table with ease.
Chi Yin thought about it. The rent was ten yuan, and she still had to buy food, pots and pans, and some other daily necessities.
Adding it all up bit by bit, the money she saved was basically enough.
Chi Yin felt a little nervous because he couldn't find his purse after searching for a long time.
Chi Yin immediately knelt on the ground, stretched out his arms into the cabinet and searched left and right, but still couldn't find it.
She broke out in a cold sweat.
He pulled out the entire drawer with a bang. The diary where he hid the money under his clothes was still there, but when he opened it, there was not a single hair inside.
Chi Yin's legs went weak and she slid onto the muddy floor.
Over the past four years, every time she had a sore throat and cough, she just endured it and was reluctant to use the money to buy medicine.
At first, she worked so hard to relieve Wei Chengliang's life pressure. Now, this money has become her support to take her twin daughters away from Wei's family.
But now, they're all gone.
A full fifty dollars!
No one in the Chi family, including the Wei family over there, knew that money was put into the diary in the drawer of the wardrobe.
There are many thieves in this era, but Zhou Lanhua is not sociable and never goes out of the house all day, so the probability of thieves visiting the Chi family is not high.
The only possible one.
It’s Chi Qiang!
