At around 2 p.m., Liu Ying came into the yard from the back door with a basket of wild vegetables. Wang Dahua saw Wang Dahong talking to Su Jin.
"Big sister, look behind you!" Su Jin stood up, ready to give the living room to the two sisters. "My second sister and I will watch from the yard."
Su Jin greeted Lu Shiyuan politely before going to the field to call Wang Dahong to come home.
Wang Dahong looked at her sister in disbelief. Ever since Wang Dahua was sold to her husband's family, the two sisters have not seen each other again. Wang Dahong even wanted to wait until the holiday to go to the village in person to look for her.
"Sister, how do you know Xiaojin?" Sister Wang Dahong cried for a while and sat on the chair to talk.
Wang Dahua told her sister about her experiences after getting married, and said that her current husband was Lu Shiyi's subordinate, and she came here with the army. Because she had bought out her relationship with her ex-husband's family, when the Wang family went there, her ex-husband's family said that Wang Dahua had hit her head against the wall.
"Originally, my parents wanted to ask you for money, but the old couple scolded them, saying that their youngest son died two days after you got married, and that you were destined to bring disaster to their family," Wang Dahong told her sister. She heard the other party say that Wang Dahua hit her head against the wall, but she didn't believe it.
"I've finally had my fill of happiness after all the hardship. I was so nervous today. I heard her mention your name and wanted to see if it was you." Wang Dahua said to her sister, "I heard from my sister-in-law that someone in the village is watching you."
The two sisters were talking in the house, while Su Jin and Liu Ying were sitting in the side room and talking. Liu Ying talked about the situation in the village. Since the young couple got married and left, the situation in the village has been bad.
"There's a rumor going around in the village that the village chief has someone up there. Some speculate it's you. A few say that since Lu Bu was so critical of the village chief, he probably doesn't have a backer." Liu Ying was sharing the village gossip. "Lu Shiyang has a job in the county, so Wang Dashu has been appointed village accountant. He was chosen by the villagers and the educated youth. Wang Dashu is a decent man, and Yuan Zexing is very capable. There wasn't the mess that happened when Lu Shiyang registered."
Su Jin listened to Liu Ying nagging, as if she hadn't spoken to anyone for a long time.
"Second sister, are you three being bullied in the village?" Su Jin was worried about the three people in the village. "I heard from the young wives in the village that Lin Laobao's family is plotting against you, eldest sister?"
"It was the second son of the Wang family who came and circled around the village entrance. Fortunately, the village chief had the militia stop them after seeing them. He also held a meeting in the threshing ground and asked everyone to help the eldest sister. He linked this matter to the Three Good Villages." Liu Ying felt that Lu Shiyuan was a good person. His relationship with Lu Shiyi had become distant in private, but he still had a warm face.
Su Jin didn't care too much, and Lu Shiyuan showed goodwill for Lu Shiyi's sake.
"Just don't get bullied in the village. Your elder sister is also a military wife living in the family compound. She will probably find a job for you in the school soon." Su Jin reminded Liu Ying and Lu Shan to be mentally prepared and not let work-related issues ruin the relationship among the four of them.
Liu Ying pursed her lips and smiled. "It would be better if the eldest sister could work in the county. The third child and I will be fine in the village. We stick together and have strong personalities. Whenever we encounter problems, we go to the village head's house to complain."
After Su Jin left the village, the three of them discussed a way in the side room to make them feel that they were not easy to mess with so that they could live in peace.
"Xiao Jin, are you pregnant?" Liu Ying saw that Su Jin was a little fatter than before, and her eyes were no longer cold, but had a mother's glow.
"Second sister, it's been two months. I was not allowed to come here at first, but I hurried here because I was worried that something happened to my eldest sister." Su Jin said in a low voice.
"Go back and take care of yourself. We'll visit you when we have time." Liu Ying urged Su Jin to take good care of herself. "If the children start to make a fuss, go home early and take care of yourself."
The two were chatting in the yard. When the villagers heard that Su Jin had returned, they did not come to disturb them, leaving them time to talk.
Sisters Wang Dahua and Wang Dahong talked in the living room for nearly two hours before Wang Dahong sent her sister out.
"Xiao Jin, thank you for bringing my elder sister here. I'm finally relieved," Wang Dahong thanked Su Jin. "I'll go visit you over there when I'm on vacation. The old couple has been here for a few days. The villagers are helping me to block them. You should be careful when you go back."
When Wang Dahong heard Wang Dahua mention that Su Jin was pregnant, she would rather let her hide away than let her get hurt.
"Sister, stop nagging." Su Jin was afraid of Wang Dahong, who could nag about one thing for a long time.
Wang Dahua took out the bill and 20 yuan from her pocket and stuffed them into her sister's pocket, but Wang Dahong stretched out her hand to refuse.
"This is what your brother-in-law gave you. He's worried you won't have enough to eat in the village. These are military coupons, and the villagers will exchange them for more for you." Wang Dahua said hurriedly, "Your brother-in-law knows you're here, so he told you to go back and live there when you have time."
"Sister, I will definitely come to see you!" Wang Dahong had no choice but to accept it and thought about giving something to the children when she went over.
"The two children have everything. Your brother-in-law said that you must go there empty-handed, otherwise he will kick you out." Wang Dahua instructed her sister. Sun Shun did not have a heavy burden, and his allowance was enough for them. Wang Dahua worked in logistics, and she saved up her allowance and tickets.
As long as Wang Dahong knows what's going on, she will also treat Wang Dahua as her own family.
"Sister, I know. This is the first time I see the two children. As their aunt, I have no way of rejecting the gifts I give to the younger generations, and you and your brother-in-law cannot refuse." Wang Dahong was still saving her subsidy for going to the countryside, preparing to buy some things for the two children.
Wang Dahua had no choice but to agree, and later told her two children about her aunt's difficult life.
"Xiao Jin, you two should hurry back. It will be dark by the time we leave the village from Side Mountain." Wang Dahong reminded Su Jin, "Sister, you don't look the same as before. You can't leave from the village entrance. If you don't get nervous when you see them, they won't recognize you."
Wang Dahong didn't recognize Wang Dahahua at first sight. If Su Jin hadn't told her in advance, she might have been dazed.
"Dahong, are you serious?" Wang Dahua had heard Sun Shun say this several times, and she thought he was trying to calm her down.
Su Jin looked at Wang Dahong: "Sister, are you telling the truth?"
"Let's go from the village entrance," Wang Dahua hasn't seen her parents for more than ten years, and she believes she can definitely calm down.
Su Jin agreed and left the village with Wang Dahua. At the village entrance, they saw Wang Dashu letting six militiamen and four wives from the village escort the two of them away.
Old Mrs. Wang twisted her body and cried out that she would not go to the Pigeon Committee.
Wang Dahua held Su Jin's right arm tightly, and the two of them quickened their pace. Old Man Wang and Old Lady Wang were surrounded by the team members and did not see the two of them.
Only when the two of them reached the intersection leading to the county town did Wang Dahua relax.
"Those two are still the same, always threatening others with unreasonable actions." Wang Dahua's voice trembled. "I won't be afraid anymore."
Su Jin saw Wang Dahahua's emotional breakdown, and she slowed down her pace as she walked back crying.
Before entering the county town, Wang Dahua took a handkerchief from her pocket to wipe away her tears and looked at Su Jin with gratitude.
"Xiao Jin, thank you from your sister-in-law!" Wang Dahua felt relieved when she saw that her sister was doing well. "Dahong won't be threatened by those people anymore. That's great!"
