It was the same today. Her mother was away at home as her aunt went to the county for medical treatment, leaving her in the care of her grandparents.
It was also morning that day. Not long after the family members left, Zhu Sanni came.
The words and tone she said that day were exactly the same as today. The only change was that she was frightened by her own words that day, and coupled with being kicked in the head by a donkey, she happily agreed to the wedding date.
So when Grandma He and the others came back and learned about this, it was already a foregone conclusion and they couldn't regret it.
Because Zhu Sanni spread the news as soon as she left her house.
They didn't shut up until everyone from the two teams on the left and right knew that they were going to get married.
When her mother came back with her aunt, she almost exploded with anger.
They immediately ran to Xu's house and beat and scolded her. Unfortunately, Zhu Sanni's words that she was in a hurry to get married made her mother and others very angry.
After they came back, they saw her hesitate to speak several times, but seeing that she had been brainwashed by He Cao and would not marry anyone but Xu Weijun, they could only accept it.
They actively helped her prepare her dowry. Even her brother and father who were far away in the army sent her a dowry, just so that she could live a good life in the future.
There was another reason why her grandmother and her friends were so active in preparing the dowry, and that was because Xu Weijun had reached the level required to apply for a separate dormitory.
Who knew that things would go against their wishes. On the wedding night, Xu Weijun said something hurt and impotent before she could digest the news.
His sister pretended to have received an anxious telegram and rushed into the new house, saying that the machinery factory urgently wanted him back. So she was left in the wolf's den until her death.
And Xu Weijun never went back after he tricked her into marrying him.
At the beginning, when her father and brother were still alive, they would send back a symbolic amount of ten yuan every month.
But she, who only had ten dollars, had to pay double the price to support her family.
When her father died, his ten dollars became five dollars. When her brother also died, he was left with nothing.
Xu Weijun, who had gained a future with the sacrifices of her father and brother, lived a happy life with He Cao.
Even their children were given to her to raise, on the pretext that she was unable to bear children but Xu Weijun could not cut off the family line.
From then on, she used her father's pension and her brother's pension to support the ungrateful person and the Xu family.
After his father's story came out, his grandparents fell ill all of a sudden and passed away within a month.
When what happened to his brother, her mother also passed away, and finally her grandparents.
Because of this, rumors spread in the village that she was a jinx and had a bad fate that brought bad luck to her relatives.
As if to witness these words, Xu Weijun came back rarely after several years.
But he only stayed for a few days, and left after comforting her and settling her down in his home.
After this, the news came back that someone had been killed in an explosion while trying to protect the property at the provincial machinery factory, which made the villagers believe her words even more.
At that time, she had already been smoothed over by the Xu family, and she would hear her uncle and others trying to make her leave the Xu family every time.
In the end, they were stopped by Xu Xiahua's words "incompatible with relatives", because she was afraid that getting close to them would really bring disaster to them. It was from then on that she gradually disappeared from the village.
Apart from going to work every day and picking wild goods in the back mountain to earn money to support his family, he never appears under the eyes of everyone watching the fun.
Even when she went to work, she would go to the most remote places and try to stay away from people.
Thinking of the old ox's life of being bullied, He Wanqing looked at her family who were lively and caring about her. The smile on her lips contrasted with the tears in her eyes.
"Wanqing, what happened? Did that old woman Zhu Sanni threaten you when she beat you?
Don't be afraid, your grandma and your grandmother are here, the Xu family won't dare to force you to do anything you don't want to do."
Grandma He's words brought He Wanqing back to her senses from her memories, and she reached out to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes.
He leaned his head on her arms to hide her expression from them, and then slowly told her about He Cao and Xu Weijun.
The more she spoke, the more restless the people on the stools became. If it weren't for Grandma He's stern gaze, He Jiadong's brothers, as well as her cousins, would have rushed in and smashed up the Xu family's house.
After she finished telling the story of Xu Weijun and He Cao's secret affair, and finally talked about Zhu Sanni's request to her father, she sat up straight and remained silent.
She didn't plan to talk about her rebirth. It was too unbelievable, so it was better for her to just know it herself.
but......
She glanced into the room, looking at the four elderly people, as well as her uncles. She decided to improve their health this time so that they could all live long.
Instead of being like in the previous life, where half of the family was gone in just a few years.
As for his father and two brothers, she knew the news in advance this time and would definitely not let them sacrifice again.
"Wanqing, since you already know that He Cao and Xu Weijun are secretly having an affair, why do you still want to risk your reputation and agree to the Xu family's wedding date?"
Aunt He was puzzled. Since she knew that the Xu family had a kang, couldn't she just refuse directly? Why did she have to go through all this trouble?
As curious as Aunt He, Uncle Shen and his friends were also there. Although they didn't ask like she did, He Wanqing could still see the curiosity in their eyes.
His eyes met with Grandma He and Grandma Shen, and after seeing that they were also curious, he spoke:
"Xu Weijun applied for marriage in my name, and now that he has passed the political review, he wants to marry someone else. Uncle, do you think he still needs to work in the security department of the military machinery factory?"
Her uncle He Baosheng is 43 years old this year. He is a soldier who retired due to injury. He and his aunt Wang Xiangya have four sons and one daughter.
They are my eldest cousin He Jiadong, who is 24 this year, and his wife Xu Mei, who is 23, from the next brigade. The couple works in the commune steel plant and has three sons and one daughter.
The eldest son, He Yuan, is 6 years old; the second son, He Dong, is 4 years old; the third son, He Bing, is 2 years old; and the eldest daughter, He Xiaoxiao, is three months old.
My second cousin, He Jiamin, is 22 years old and teaches at the brigade primary school. His wife, Wu Xia, who is also from the brigade, is 21 years old. The couple now has two sons.
The eldest, He Jie, is four years old, the second, He Shu, is two years old, and there is a younger son in the belly.
My fourth cousin, He Jiaye, is 21 years old and works in the commune’s machinery factory. His girlfriend is also from the commune, and their wedding date is set for next month.
Her seventh cousin He Jialin is eighteen years old. He graduated with her last year and is now working in the village.
Originally, he could have joined the army with her second brother, but he didn't want to go, so he could only earn work points at home. It was because the university was cancelled last year.
My cousin He Wanyi is seventeen years old this year. I have a good relationship with her and she is still in her second year of high school.
Grandpa He Niusheng is sixty years old this year. He is the second oldest among brothers. He and grandma Qin Hua have six sons and three daughters.
Three of them died in that turbulent era, and in the end there were four sons and two daughters.
