"It's not that...hiss."
Zhao Chunhua's movements were so loud that they hurt the corner of her mouth. She paused for a moment before covering her mouth with her hand and saying, "It's all because of that damned second aunt of yours. Seeing that your third aunt has a wife, she comes to throw a tantrum at me."
"What? Was it Aunt San who beat you?"
Li Zhuang had a loud voice to begin with, and seeing his own mother being beaten into such a state, his voice became even higher and higher, making Su Man's head buzz.
"If you dare to hit my mother, I'll hit you back!"
"Hey! Come back!"
Zhao Chunhua didn't call out to Li Zhuang, but instead directed Su Man, "Hurry up and bring the boss back to me!"
Su Man agreed and ran out happily.
But where Zhao Chunhua couldn't see her, she slowed down and followed Li Zhuang slowly.
Li Zhuang is a reckless person with a fiery temper, and Second Aunt is a very unyielding person. If these two get together, it will be quite a spectacle.
Su Man deliberately kept a distance from him and watched from behind the haystack at the corner. As expected, Li Zhuang did not disappoint her. As soon as she entered her second uncle's house, she heard the sounds of banging and shouting, and dogs barking from time to time.
Su Man covered her face and smiled, wow, it's so lively.
Just as she was about to listen carefully, she was suddenly hugged from behind.
"Xiao Wen! I finally found you! Come with me..."
This familiar name made Su Man stop her foot that was about to kick someone in the vitals. She looked carefully and saw that the person hugging her was the madman, Li Caizhe, who had mistaken her for someone else on the day she first arrived in the village.
According to Zhao Chunhua, Li Caizhe went crazy because of Xiaowen's "abandonment" and has been acting crazy ever since.
At this moment, Li Caizhe was hugging Su Man and crying loudly. At first, you could hear him muttering Xiaowen's name, but later his nose was blocked by snot and no one could hear what he was saying.
Su Man's eyes moved slightly, and she patted his back with her backhand, "You want to take me away?"
"Yes, I will take you away, we will leave here together... woo woo... we will never be separated again..."
Su Man glanced at her second aunt's house from a distance, and guessed that they would continue fighting for a while, so she pulled Li Caizhe behind the straw pile.
"How are you going to take me away? Do you have a car or money?"
"money..."
Li Caizhe's eyes, red and swollen from crying, were momentarily confused. "I don't have any money."
"What about the car? We want to leave, but we have to take a bullock cart."
"I, I don't have a car either."
Su Man was helpless, "So you really want to take me away, right?"
Just when she was about to let go, Li Caizhe suddenly said something that rekindled Su Man's hope.
“I have a motorcycle at home.”
"motorcycle?"
Su Man was delighted. The terrain of Tieshan Village was complex, and the roads were all dirt and mountain roads, which were completely impassable. This was why the girls could not escape.
But it would be different if they had motorcycles, at least they could ride on the main road.
Thinking of this, Su Man regained her patience. She held Li Caizhe's hand and pulled him to sit on the haystack. "Do you have the key?"
Su Man's gentleness calmed Li Caizhe's frenzy, and his attention was quickly diverted. He shook his head and said, "No, they won't let me ride."
"They? Are they your parents?"
"Um."
Li Caizhe, who had calmed down, nodded obediently. Although his face was covered with mud, his eyes were very bright.
Li Caizhe's parents must be afraid that he would go crazy and get hurt by the motorcycle, so they don't let him touch it.
“Woof woof woof…”
Just as Su Man was about to ask something, she was interrupted by the barking of a dog nearby, followed by the man's angry curse, "You little bastard, how dare you hit your elders! You have a father but no mother to teach you. Today, I will teach you a lesson on behalf of your father!"
Su Man looked outside and found that an unfamiliar middle-aged man was chasing Li Zhuang with a carrying pole. From his height, she knew it was not her second uncle, but most likely his son Shuanzhu.
Su Man was about to follow him out, but was caught by Li Caizhe, "Xiao Wen, where are you going? You can't leave."
It's already this late, it will be too late if she doesn't go out. If Li Zhuang goes home alone, Zhao Chunhua will know that she didn't try to stop him and will definitely become suspicious of her.
Su Man was anxious to get away, so she said perfunctorily, "I have something else to do right now. I'll come find you in a few days."
"No, you can't leave, Xiaowen."
Su Man's face turned cold. "If you don't listen, I will never talk to you again."
Li Caizhe was frightened and quickly let go, "I'll be obedient, I'll be obedient. You must remember to come find me."
"Okay, okay."
“…”
Su Man, who had regained her freedom, quickly ran towards home. Fortunately, she had been observing the route when she went out with Zhao Chunhua these two days, and finally she got ahead of Li Zhuang and stood on the road that he had to take to go home.
...
Before Su Man could catch her breath, Li Zhuang appeared in her sight.
Li Zhuang didn't get any advantage at his second uncle's house. On the way back, he kept cursing and kicking the stones under his feet hard.
Stone after stone rolled in the mud until he saw Suman wandering at the intersection.
The sun was about to set, and the orange-red light shone on her back, leaving a long shadow behind her.
What attracted more attention than her figure was her expression. She stood on tiptoe and looked into the distance, looking nervous and worried.
I don’t know how long she stood there. Under the scorching sun, there were two obvious red spots on her cheeks.
Li Zhuang suddenly remembered that when he was a teenager, he was taken to a banquet by his family. The bride's face was this color, red, like a monkey's butt.
But that color was deeply engraved in his heart. At night, he dreamed of the color that haunted him and dreamed of the bride smiling at him.
