Li Debao returned home and dragged his hungry body to the door of Tian Xiaoli's house.
Hearing the laughter and joyful celebrations inside, I felt so uncomfortable.
So when Tian Xiaoli came out to throw dirty water, he dragged her aside.
Tian Xiaoli has been very happy these days. Her husband has finally come back and will not leave anymore, so she can still live a good life. In addition, she got an unexpected sum of money, so she is very happy all day long. She also discussed with her husband about having a child as soon as possible.
Although she felt sad when she occasionally thought of the child she had secretly aborted, he was not fit to be in this world, so she couldn't blame her for being cruel.
"What are you doing here? Let me go." Tian Xiaoli shouted in a fearful voice. Why did this man come here? She quickly kept some distance from him with a guilty conscience.
"You took my money, and you are living a good life, right?" Li Debao said with a forced smile.
"We are just getting what we need. Let's not have any contact in the future. If my man fights someone, I can't help." Tian Xiaoli pretended to be calm.
"Then tell me, if your man knew that you slept with me and that you were pregnant with my child, would he still want you? Would he kill you too?"
Tian Xiaoli is very satisfied with her current life. Her man treats her very well. She dare not imagine what would happen if he knew that she had betrayed him.
Thinking of this, her face was filled with horror.
"What do you want to do? Don't forget, the crime of hooliganism is punishable by forced labor."
"What do you think I want to do? I'm so poor I can't even afford to eat. Labor camp is better, at least I can have food to eat.
I'm in such a miserable state, yet you're living comfortably with my money. Since I'm not living well, you shouldn't even think about living well. We're going to die together." Li Debao said with a grim expression.
These past few months have been so hard to endure that he's been scared. He finally realizes how comfortable life was before.
"What do you want?"
"Give me back my money."
"Don't even think about it. This is what you deserve to give me." Tian Xiaoli widened her eyes in anger. If she returned the money, all the suffering she had endured would be in vain. The folk abortion remedy had made her suffer a lot.
"Then I'll tell you right away, man, we--" Li Debao made a gesture to go in.
"Alright." Tian Xiaoli pulled him back and glanced cautiously at the door. "I'll give you fifty yuan at most, not a penny more. Otherwise, we'll both die together."
Li Debao thought about it and decided that fifty yuan would be enough for him to live lavishly for a long time. If he could get it back, it would be considered his profit. So he steeled his heart and said, "Deal."
"You swear that you will not come to me again after taking the money. Keep this matter to yourself, otherwise you will have no descendants and die a miserable death." Tian Xiaoli was still worried. This man had zero credibility with her.
"Alright, I swear, alright? If I use this to threaten you again, I will make sure I have no descendants and die a miserable death."
Tian Xiaoli quickly turned around, took out fifty yuan from her pocket, and handed it to Li Debao with a painful look on her face.
Li Debao took the money and counted it greedily.
"It would have been better if we had done this earlier. Okay, go back. I'm leaving first."
Tian Xiaoli spat and quickly picked up the dirty bucket on the ground and went home. If she didn't go back, her husband would come out to look for someone.
After getting the money, Li Debao walked home happily humming a little tune.
It was late January and the village was about to slaughter the New Year pig.
After the task pigs were delivered, there were two pigs left in the village, which could be slaughtered and the meat distributed. This day was the moment that the villagers looked forward to most throughout the year.
Li Qingyun had no shortage of meat to eat, so she didn't feel anything, but she was quite interested in the act of slaughtering pigs, mainly because she had never seen it before.
On the day of slaughtering the pig, Aunt Jiang's men took the knife. Several men held down the New Year pig, and the battle ended with a few strokes of the knife. Bright red pig blood splattered out. The aunts with nimble hands and feet quickly took a large basin to catch the pig blood. This was also a rare good thing, and would be one of the main ingredients of the pig-slaughtering dish later.
After slaughtering the pig, put it into a large wooden basin and soak it in boiling water for a few minutes to ten minutes, then you can twist it up and shave off the hair.
The adults and children in the village all gathered around to watch the fun, talking and laughing, and guessing how heavy this year's New Year pig would be and how many pounds of meat each family would get.
The second baby in Li Qingyun's arms also stretched his head to look at the pig that died with its eyes open, with a look of curiosity on his face.
Dabao, Maotou and several other kids were watching the pig hair being shaved attentively.
"Tingzhou family, your second child is so good-looking, just like this pig, white and fat." An aunt teased the child in Li Qingyun's arms enthusiastically.
Auntie, thank you so much. If you don't know how to praise people, please don't praise them. If I didn't know you couldn't speak, I would have thought you were cursing on purpose!
"Shut up! This boy clearly looks like the boy under the seat of Guanyin. What a pig." An aunt tried to smooth things over.
So, everyone's topic changed from pig to Erbao, and everyone praised him.
"Qingyun's family, you really know how to raise children. Look how well these two children have grown up."
"How can he not be healthy if he drinks such expensive milk powder every day?" Mrs. Gu, who was blinded by jealousy, said sarcastically.
Because she still couldn't get pregnant as she wished, she just woke up this morning and her period just came, and even the distribution of pork couldn't make her happy.
Li Qingyun would not care about other people's unintentional words, but she would not indulge someone like Mrs. Gu.
"What's the matter? My child is precious. I'm happy. If you have the ability, you can give it to your child too. Why are you saying such sour words?" Li Qingyun rolled her eyes at her.
Mrs. Gu immediately said aggrievedly: "Look everyone, this is how she usually talks to me, her sister-in-law. I just told the truth."
"If someone respects me an inch, I will respect him a yard. Why are you acting like an older sister-in-law in front of me? If I recognize you, you are my older sister-in-law. If I don't recognize you, you are nothing."
