Chapter 43: Parents love their children and have far-reaching plans for them
"Thank you for saving me." Ma Xiao'e looked at Chen Zhuyi: "I saw it that day, behind your yard."
Chen Zhu's expression changed drastically.
Ma Xiao'e smiled. "I also saw you, Teacher Shen, standing in the yard. At that time, we had no food at home, so I ventured to a higher mountain to fill my stomach. I happened to see that scene and saw you standing in the yard."
Chen Zhu looked at Ma Xiaoe.
"So, you're going to let me testify for you?"
Ma Xiao'e shook her head, a sneer flashing in her eyes: "Wang Dafa's scheme is not smart at all, it's full of loopholes. I don't need you to testify for me at all."
"I'm just so grateful to you."
The next day after hearing those words, Chen Zhuyi still couldn't bear it, so he found Wang Tongtong alone after school and said a few words to her in a subtle way.
Ma Xiao'e smiled bitterly.
"Originally, after seeing that scene, I really planned to endure it, because I was afraid that if I divorced, I would be laughed at. Without a man at home, Tongtong's life would be more difficult, and it would be difficult to find a husband in the future. But when Tongtong came back and told me what you said, I knew that enduring it was useless. If we really divorced, Tongtong would definitely not let me take her away. I couldn't sleep all night when I thought about Tongtong serving that couple."
Chen Zhuyi sighed a little.
Parents love their children and plan for them in the long run.
Ma Xiao'e can tolerate again and again for Wang Tongtong, and she can also do it for Tongtong... That's not right!
When Chen Zhu realized something was wrong, her pupils were a little shocked.
"you!"
Ma Xiao'e smiled calmly.
"That's right. Wang Dafa originally just wanted to find a man to rape me, then have that man spread the news and divorce me. But he didn't know that I had a knife."
Ma Xiao'e took a deep breath and said, "When that man came in, I stabbed myself in the stomach with a knife. Then he ran away in fear. You know what happened next."
Chen Zhuyi heard these words in disbelief.
"Have you never thought about what would happen if you stabbed your kidney and caused heavy bleeding?"
"When I went to Doctor Zheng's house to pick up medicine, I saw the blood vessels diagram on the wall. There were even drawings of human organs on it. I specifically avoided those areas. If I really got hurt, then I'd be unlucky. There's nothing I can do."
Ma Xiao'e's eyes were filled with despair. "If not, even if I expose Wang Dafa's affair right then and there, the end result will only be a bad reputation for him. The village won't even let it be reported! They're afraid it will bring disgrace to the village! Our divorce will just suit his wishes. He can let that slutty mother and son into his family, and my Tongtong will have to serve that bastard!"
Ma Xiao'e's eyes were filled with endless hatred.
"I just want to make this a big deal and put Wang Dafa in jail!"
Chen Zhuyi fell silent. Ma Xiao'e's behavior was indeed extreme, a gamble at the cost of her life, but if you put yourself in her shoes, you won't find a better way.
You can get custody of the child and gain a good reputation in the village.
"Then why did you tell me this?" Chen Zhuyi didn't understand.
Shouldn't such a big thing be kept to oneself?
Ma Xiao'e smiled faintly: "It's too uncomfortable to hold it in alone, so I want to find someone to share it with."
When Wang Tongtong came out of Ma Xiao'e's house, she was holding three eggs. When she saw Chen Zhuyi, her eyes lit up instantly.
"Teacher Shen, here's one for you!"
The round egg was stuffed into her hand, and Wang Tongtong's childish voice came into her ears.
"Egg custard is delicious! It's the most delicious thing in the world! It's great that my mother can finally eat egg custard!"
finally?
Chen Zhu looked at Wang Tongtong skipping home, pursed his lips, said nothing, and turned away.
After a few days, Wang Dafa confessed.
"He said his original intention was to find a man to frame Ma Xiao'e, then divorce her and let Widow Sun and her son marry him. But he never expected Ma Xiao'e to actually hurt him. Although Wang Dafa's original intention was not to kill Ma Xiao'e, it was also considered indirect murder and he was sentenced to ten years in prison. The man he found was considered an accomplice and was demoted for five years."
After Huo Jinzhi finished speaking, the two of them just walked to the door of the cinema.
Today is the day when Chen Zhuyi and Huo Jinzhi make an appointment to watch a movie.
Chen Zhu nodded after hearing this: "It can be said that it is all his own fault."
The movie ticket was 20 cents each. It was a classic Anti-Japanese War movie. 20 cents was not cheap, but the theater was still crowded. After all, there was a lack of entertainment in the 1970s.
Chen Zhuyi and Huo Jinzhi found a place to sit down.
There were still more than ten minutes left before the movie started. There was a lot of noise all around. Huo Jinzhi stared straight ahead with a blank expression on his face, but his palms were sweating and his mind was so panicked that he didn't know what to do.
On the way, he had talked about everything he could think of.
What else should I say?
Out of the corner of his eye he suddenly caught sight of something in the hands of a couple in front of him. Huo Jinzhi stood up and walked out, leaving Chen Zhuyi bewildered.
Not watching anymore?
Before he could figure out what was going on, Huo Jinzhi appeared in front of him again, holding something in his hands.
Looking closely, I saw a bag of melon seeds and two bottles of soda.
Huo Jinzhi sat down with the things in his arms and handed them to Chen Zhuyi.
Chen Zhu smiled and took it without refusing.
The movie started quickly, and because it was a war movie, everyone was very serious and watched the movie attentively.
In the second half of the movie, people started to sacrifice themselves, and everyone's heart was lifted up. Chen Zhuyi was no exception. He stared at the content of the film with a serious expression.
As more and more people sacrificed their lives in the film, there were sobbing sounds all around, and Chen Zhu's eyes also turned red.
This was also the first time Huo Jinzhi watched the film. Because of his identity, he understood the emotions in the film better, so he watched it very carefully until he heard a sniffling sound beside him.
Chen Zhu stared blankly at the contents inside, and as people sacrificed themselves for the mission, tears of emotion couldn't stop flowing out.
Today was a date, and Chen Zhuyi wore a denim waist dress. It looked pretty, but it had no pockets, so she didn't bring a handkerchief and could only wipe her tears and sniff.
It kind of ruined her image. Chen Zhu turned her head awkwardly, wanting to see if Huo Jinzhi was looking at her.
As soon as she turned her head, she met the man's gaze. A movie was playing in the courtyard and the light was dim, but Chen Zhuyi could still see the man's deep eyes falling on her face.
In Huo Jinzhi's heart, Chen Zhuyi has always been a very strong woman. He didn't expect that he would cry while watching this movie. Looking at Chen Zhuyi who was trying hard to sniff and looking awkwardly ignored, Huo Jinzhi held back his laughter, took out a handkerchief from his chest pocket and handed it to Chen Zhuyi.
"The handkerchief is new." Huo Jinzhi added this sentence specifically for fear that Chen Zhu would dislike it.
Since people had already said so, it would seem pretentious to refuse, so Chen Zhu took it without hesitation and started blowing his nose, then his mind returned to the movie.
Huo Jinzhi also turned his head to watch the plot, but his eyes were distracted and he didn't see the next scene clearly at all. His mind was completely on the people around him.
The plot of the movie was no longer sad towards the end, but started to become funny. Everyone in the audience who had been crying before started laughing again, and Chen Zhuyi also curled up the corners of his mouth.
Huo Jinzhi had been keeping an eye on Chen Zhuyi, and when he saw her smile, the corners of his mouth also began to smile.
Chen Zhu turned around to share the plot with Huo Jinzhi, but suddenly his eyes widened.
