Li Qingyun saw him looking at her with dazed eyes. He thought his alcohol tolerance was a bit poor. He fell down after just a few glasses?
She resigned herself to her fate and poured a glass of water and handed it to him.
"My wife feeds me."
"You are so beautiful and quick." Li Qingyun slammed the water on the table and said, "Sister, I won't serve you anymore."
"I'll drink it. Can't I drink it by myself? I was just joking with you." Gu Tingzhou quickly picked up the water on the table and drank it all, smiling like a peacock seeking a mate.
Li Qingyun understood what he meant. This guy was lustful when he was well fed and warm. So far, they just slept in each other's arms at most, and occasionally kissed each other secretly, but it had not come to that step yet.
They are now like a young couple in the dating stage. There is some flirting, but she feels that she is not mentally ready for physical contact. Gu Tingzhou may also know this, so he has never crossed the line. The two of them have always slept under the covers.
Gu Tingzhou has become less and less satisfied with kisses and hugs recently. Seeing that his wife is still making jokes, he knows that there will be no fun tonight, so he obediently gets up to help clean up, while Li Qingyun coaxes the two children to sleep.
The two of them cooperated well and quickly packed up and sat on the kang to chat. Li Qingyun took out the money for buying a watch from the space, which she had thrown into the space in a hurry and ignored. After taking it out, the couple counted it again and put it together with the previous passbook.
The 4,200 yuan in the passbook plus the 5,460 yuan from selling the watch, and a few hundred yuan in miscellaneous savings, added together, they were considered a millionaire in that era.
Li Qingyun held the money in her arms, imagining that she would become a rich woman in the future, and she was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling.
The two of them planned to open another account with the money and save it. When the policies get better in a few years, they will go to Beijing and buy an old house in a good location. They can live there themselves and wait for the demolition households to be relocated in a few decades. Their descendants can also become the second generation of demolition households. It’s a wonderful thought.
The two of them fantasized about a better life in the future.
On the other side, the Chen family of the commune
Tian Meixue and her son had already fallen asleep. In the middle of the night, Chen Yong staggered into the courtyard carrying two bottles of wine.
"Tian Meixue, your man is back, why don't you come out and open the door." Chen Yong kicked the door and shouted with his eyes narrowed.
Tian Meixue woke up from her sleep and heard his drunken words. She knew that she would be tortured again today. She stuffed the child into the quilt and hid him, then put on her clothes, got up and opened the door.
She silently lit the kerosene lamp, opened the door, and said nothing. At this time, whatever she said would be wrong and could become the source of Chen Yong's madness.
"Why are you so slow?"
The man staggered in, sat down on a chair, and raised his smelly feet to Tian Meixue.
Tian Meixue held her breath and endured the stench, took off his shoes, and resignedly went to fetch water to wash his feet.
Tian Meixue knelt on the ground in humiliation and put the man's smelly feet into the basin of water.
Chen Yi's head was exposed from under the quilt, and his small eyes were staring at the scene in front of him, not knowing what he was thinking.
"You bitch, the water is so cold, are you trying to freeze me to death?" The man kicked the woman in the heart and kicked her a meter away.
Tian Meixue got up and explained angrily, "You sold all the kettles in the house for money. How could we have hot water?"
When Chen Yong heard this, he was not ashamed at all. Instead, he became furious and felt that she had hurt his dignity as a man. He grabbed Tian Meixue's hair and pressed her head into the foot basin, pushing it in hard.
Tian Meixue clenched her teeth, but the water still choked her nose. Thinking that this was the man's foot washing water, and his smelly feet were soaked in the water, she felt acid reflux in her stomach, but she couldn't vomit it out and almost suffocated. She even thought that it might be better to die like this.
But what about her son? No, she couldn't die. Tian Meixue began to struggle desperately, beating the arm that was holding her down with both hands.
Chen Yi, who was lying on the bed, could no longer sit still after seeing this scene. He turned over and climbed up from the bed. While Chen Yong was holding down Tian Meixue and not noticing him, he picked up the wine bottle that Chen Yong had placed on the table and smashed it hard on the back of his head.
After drinking the bottle, the back of Chen Yong's head exploded, blood splattered everywhere, glass shards embedded in his scalp, and blood flowed down his neck, soaking his collar.
Chen Yong felt pain and let go of Tian Meixue, instead covering the wound on the back of his head. He turned around and saw that it was his own son. He became so angry that he even temporarily forgot the pain of the wound.
"You little bastard, you've raised an ungrateful person. You eat and drink my food, and yet you team up with this bitch to deal with me. I'll beat you to death."
Chen Yong was so anxious that he tried to catch Chen Yi barefoot. However, as soon as he stepped out, he stepped on the broken glass that had just fallen to the ground. He quickly stopped and bent down to put on his shoes.
He staggered and was about to hold onto the table when Chen Yi pushed him down with great force, causing his head to hit the corner of the table. He was already injured and bleeding from the back of his head, and the violent impact made him dizzy, and he collapsed to the ground and immediately fainted.
The mother and son breathed a sigh of relief as they looked at the man who had fainted in front of them.
Chen Yi looked at the blood on the ground, and suddenly remembered what the doctor had said before. A terrible idea intensified in his mind.
Tian Meixue took the bottle head from her son's hand and said, "Are you scared? It's okay, mom is here." She stroked her son's head and said.
Chen Yi looked up at his mother and said calmly, "Mom, is he dead?"
Tian Meixue gently checked Chen Yong's nose and found that he was still breathing. She couldn't help but feel a little sorry. It would be better if he was dead.
The woman looked up at her son, and this horrifying thought came to her mind again: Yes, it would be great if he died!
She was a little panicked and kept pacing around the room, thinking about what to do. On the one hand, she hoped that Chen Yong would never wake up again to bully her and her son, and on the other hand, she was afraid that if she was discovered, everything would be over.
Chen Yi picked up a piece of broken glass on the ground and held it in his palm. He walked closer to the man he called dad, his eyes full of hatred. There was a little man in his heart who kept saying, "Kill him, kill him, then you and mom will have a good life. You won't have to starve anymore, and there will be no more fighting."
He thrust the glass hard into the man's wrist vein. In an instant, blood spurted out and splashed onto his face, warm, but he let go of his hand as if he hadn't heard it.
Because he used too much force, the palm of his hand was pierced by the glass and blood flowed down his palm to the ground.
One drop, two drops.
