Liu Liang knew Aunt Zhou’s kindness.
She touched her broken leg and said, "I still want to live alone."
"But……"
Aunt Zhou seemed to be hesitant to speak, as there were some things she was really embarrassed to say.
"Our village is not peaceful. You might be in danger if you go out." After all, this is the place where she was born and raised. Aunt Zhou was too embarrassed to say that unruly people would appear in remote places.
However, their village is indeed not peaceful. There are always some bad apples. There are many bachelors in the village, but few women.
Such a young girl is like a sheep falling into the tiger's mouth. What if she is taken away by someone?
"Auntie, I know." Liu Jing touched her legs, "But I still want to live outside, please help me."
Aunt Zhou originally wanted to say a few more words of advice, but in the end she just opened her mouth and said nothing.
Finally, she thought about it and it seemed to be true. Her home was not very safe. The house was old and those people could come whenever they wanted. She couldn't close the door and stop them from coming in.
Knowing what they are up to but being unable to stop them is what makes people most uncomfortable.
If she moves out, she can lock the door and then lend her old yellow dog to Liu Jing to look after the house. It might make her feel more at ease than living with her. Food and other things don't matter, she can just ask Xiaoying to deliver them.
She could only help Liu Jing find a house to live in. It couldn't be too far from her home, and the walls had to be high and the door had to be strong.
Finally, she and Uncle Zhou discussed for several days and finally chose the house where Huang Cheng's family had lived before. They had all moved to the town and lived two or three houses away from her. The Huang family's house was considered a good house in their village and was only built in recent years.
Aunt Zhou was very satisfied with the house she chose, and her family was on good terms with the Huang family. When the Huang family left, they entrusted the house to her, saying that they would not come back to live there in the future, so the house would be left to them. However, Aunt Zhou was reluctant to part with her old house, so she had never moved into the Huang family's house, and of course had never thought about moving in.
The key to the Huang family's house is still with her, which is perfect. It can be given to Liu Liang to live in.
Both she and Uncle Zhou thought this was a good idea, so they didn't wait any longer at home. Instead, they took the Huang family's key and went there to pack up.
The walls of the Huang family's house are very high and there are glass bars on the walls, so it is very safe. Although the house is not very big, it is more than enough for Liu Jing to live in. Moreover, they come to clean the house every once in a while, so it is quite clean.
The couple then laid out the bedding and took out the extra things in the house, for fear that Liu Jing would bump into her legs. It took them most of the day to clean up the house.
Liu Liang originally thought that if she wanted to move out, she might have to wait, or wait for someone from the town to come, which would be a month later. However, she didn't expect that while she was talking about this with Aunt Zhou in the morning, Aunt Zhou told her in the afternoon that they had found a new house and she could move in.
The problem now was how Liu Liang was going to get there. Finally, Uncle Zhou borrowed a simple wheelchair from her. It was made of wood and the iron sheet on it was a little rusty, but it was still usable.
Liu Liang sat on this simple iron wheelchair and tried to turn the wheels. To her surprise, it was very flexible. After using this wheelchair, her movements became much more convenient.
Aunt Zhou and her family cleaned up the Huang family's house and prepared to let the girl they picked up live there. No one knew who spread the news, but soon the whole village knew about it.
Everyone in the village was wondering who Uncle Zhou had picked up.
They all came in groups wanting to see it.
Aunt Zhou just came out and when she saw those extra people at the door of her house, her face turned very unhappy. This is not a monkey watching place, so why are so many people coming here? Aren't they afraid that the wall of her house will be squeezed down?
She slammed the door shut and never came out again.
More and more people in the village knew about this matter, and almost everyone was running through the streets to see it. After all, there had been no strangers in their village for a long time, especially a young woman. Everyone's eyes seemed to be shining, and they ran over to see her, especially the old bachelors, who looked like they had never seen a woman in their eight lives and wished they could dig out their eyeballs.
They all gathered at Aunt Zhou's door, waiting to see someone. They had heard that the girl Uncle Zhou picked up was very pretty, even prettier than the stars on TV.
No matter what celebrities look like, they are all angels and very handsome.
No one in their village had ever seen such a pretty girl. Those old bachelors all had some thoughts in their minds. If people knew she looked like this, they would go crazy.
But these people who ran over were just looking at nothing, and more people who ran over saw nothing. The door of Zhou's house was always locked and was never opened at night.
Fewer and fewer people came to watch the fun, and finally smoke rose from the chimneys of every household. One left, then two left, and finally all of them left. Only one or two people still refused to give up and stood guard at the door of the Huang family.
No matter what is happening outside, Liu Liang is still adapting to her new wheelchair at Zhou's house. Although it is old, it is very flexible and is not inferior to the ones sold outside. It is even very light.
After practicing for most of the day, she was almost used to it.
Aunt Zhou also discovered that Liu Liang was much more useful than they had imagined. Even without them around, she could do a lot of things by herself with this wheelchair.
She used her own two hands to push herself up and sat on the wheelchair. Then she pushed herself up again and returned to the earthen kang. This movement might be very difficult for most people to do, but Liu Jing did it very easily.
So when she said she could take care of herself, she was not joking.
Apart from not knowing how to make a fire and cook, she can really take care of herself. Of course, the fact that she can take care of herself like this also makes Aunt Zhou feel relieved.
However, Aunt Zhou was still a little worried and planned to let Zhou Ying go with her to take care of the children for a few days. With Zhou Ying around, if anything happened, they would know about it early on. Moreover, those people in the village with bad intentions would also want to figure out what can and cannot be done.
