Aunt Zhou looked at her son, opened her mouth, then swallowed it back.
Yes, what can they do?
Could it be...?
“Son, Xia, the educated youth, wants to get married and return to the city, but her identity document is in our brigade. Can you stop her?”
Aunt Zhou's eyes lit up, and she eagerly grabbed Zhou Chuan's arm, wanting him to do things her way.
Zhou Chuan did not immediately agree, but stared intently in the direction the two had left.
There was no one there anymore, but Zhou Chuan lingered, unable to look away...
When Xia Anyan arrived, she took a hard seat and sat there for several days.
With Gu Shen around this time, all she needs to do is lie down and relax.
The two of them bought tickets for departure in an hour. To make things easier, Gu Shen went to buy some things and temporarily arranged for Xia Anyan to stay in the waiting room.
By this time, quite a few people were already waiting here.
"Comrade, I see you're carrying so much stuff, where are you going? Are you alone?"
“You’re a woman all alone, without a man by your side. It must be so tiring. How about I call my son over to help you? Let me tell you, my son is very strong. In our village, he can do both work and earn work points. He’s a real expert.”
Xia Anyan had barely sat down on the stool when someone moved closer to her.
The old lady was very enthusiastic, but Xia Anyan really wasn't used to it.
Xia Anyan felt even more disgusted when she saw the scheming in her eyes.
"No need, ma'am. My husband went over there to buy something and will be back soon. As for your son, let him help you carry your things. I see you're not young anymore, and there are quite a few people getting on the train at this station. It wouldn't be good if someone bumped into you."
Xia Anyan felt that her rejection was already very clear.
Anyone with a shred of decency can no longer shamelessly fawn over you.
But for some reason, this person started waving at someone not far away.
"Son, this lady has a lot of things, look at all those bags and packages. It'll be inconvenient for her to get on the bus later. Could you help her carry some of them?" The old woman chuckled and nudged her son. Their eyes met, and neither of them seemed like a good person.
Xia Anyan was a little unhappy.
She picked up her things and was about to walk to the side, but the old woman grabbed her arm: "Comrade, where are you going? Just sit here and chat with me."
"Let me tell you, girl, there are a lot of bad people in this train station, blah blah blah."
This old lady's mouth is like a machine gun; once it starts, it can't be closed.
She didn't transition from being called a "comrade" at the beginning to being called a "daughter" later.
The only transition was probably when I was swallowing.
Xia Anyan tried to interrupt several times, but she blocked her way. The two of them looked just like a family. Anyone who saw them would say that the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law got along very well.
"Honey, you're too thin. Look at your arms and waist! You can't do this if you want to have children in the future!"
The old woman started touching Xia Anyan's body, which truly enraged Xia Anyan. She pushed the woman away and stood up with a cold face: "What do you want? You started by trying to chat with me, and now you're touching me inappropriately. Do I even know you?"
The old woman's face turned cold. She pointed at Xia Anyan, her eyes even reddening: "You're such an ungrateful girl. You've been married to my son for a year and haven't given our Li family a single child. You cried and begged us to take you to the big city for medical treatment, and now that we've just arrived, you want to leave, pretending you don't know us. Tell me, don't you want to stay with my son? Do you have someone else on the side?"
“Let me tell you, you are the wife that Old Li’s family spent ten catties of coarse grains, five catties of fine grains, and twenty catties of sweet potatoes to marry. If you dare to run away, I will go to your parents’ house and make a scene. I want to ask them how they raised such a shameless daughter as you.”
A crowd quickly gathered around them, pointing and whispering.
The old woman got more and more excited as she talked, and even winked at her son: "Son, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and take your wife back. I think we shouldn't go to the big hospital, let's just find a doctor at the local clinic."
As they were talking, the two of them were about to get to work.
They had been waiting, and Xia Anyan said her man would be back soon, which is why the old woman didn't make a move at the beginning.
But since no one is coming now, it must be fake.
The two men rubbed their hands together, their greed undisguised.
“You’re really bold, girl. You haven’t even left yet and you don’t recognize your mother-in-law and your husband. If you ask me, we should just drag her back, tie her up, and beat her until she obeys.”
"What's the point of keeping a wife like that? Women need to be beaten; otherwise, they won't listen."
Xia Anyan scoffed coldly: "You say I'm your wife? Where's the proof? Show me."
"There are plenty of men who can't find wives these days, so does that mean you can just grab any woman you want and call her your wife? Do you even know who I am or what my status is? You know nothing, yet you spout such nonsense. Who gave you the guts to do that?!"
"Where are the police officers? I need to find the police officers. There are people here trying to abduct former educated youth who went to the countryside. These two people are human traffickers!"
Xia Anyan's words completely stunned the two of them.
What? This is a sent-down youth?
This... wait a minute, why would these educated youth leave by train? And the timing is wrong too!
The mother and daughter looked at each other, both with some worry and doubt.
Xia Anyan didn't care what the two people meant. She shouted at the top of her lungs and reached into her pocket.
She had prepared chili water in the room, specifically for someone who might encounter such a person on the train.
Unexpectedly, I used it before even getting on the bus.
“You child, what nonsense are you talking about? We’ve always agreed to your refusal to work in the fields because you’re pretty, but how can you use your status as an educated youth to justify this? If this gets back to the commune leaders, our whole family will be punished.”
“Listen to your mother, come back with me, and I will treat you the same as before. Even if you can never have children in this life, we will not despise you.”
As she spoke, she winked at her son.
The man nodded hurriedly and reached out to pull Xia Anyan: "Yes, wife, I'll listen to you in everything from now on, so please don't make trouble for me."
“We’re already married, everyone in the village knows. This whole mess you’ve made not only us lose face, but also your parents’ reputation. It’s fine if you don’t like me, but don’t you care about your parents’ name at all?”
