Chapter 5 How much money did you get? Hu Honghua's first battle - ...
Although she had told the truth to her uncle early on, Hu Honghua still felt guilty when she went out and tiptoed out.
Unlike the bustling and bustling village during the day, the village at night seemed particularly deserted. The roofs were deeply submerged in darkness, and it seemed inexplicably eerie. Occasionally, the meowing of cats and dogs could be heard from the street, which made Hu Honghua sweat on her back.
Every household is asleep, and only those who want to do something bad will go out.
After Hu Honghua left her house, she walked cautiously along the mud wall, afraid of startling a dog or bumping into someone. Although she hadn't committed adultery, she felt more guilty than anyone who had! Her legs and feet were weak from walking those two steps.
She arrived at the right time. When she just walked to the wall of Xiao Li's house, she saw Li Jianye climbing over the wall.
Li Jianye was physically weak and was not the type to work. The yard was built very high, so it was not easy for him to climb over the wall. His two legs were kicking and stomping in the air, like a dog being grabbed by the scruff of the neck, with only his two legs hanging in the air.
After struggling for a long time, Li Jianye finally turned over.
——
That night.
On summer nights, the sounds of insects and frogs can be heard from the grass in the village. The moonlight above makes the plants shine with a cool luster, and light and shadows fall through the gaps between the trees. The moist raindrops stain the tips of the grass. People run over and feel a comfortable coolness on their ankles. The moment they step out of the door, a breeze blows, bringing the breath of freedom.
Tonight is as beautiful as a dream covered in rich green.
He overcame all the hardships, flew out of the old cage where he had been trapped for many years like a young swallow flying into the forest, and rushed into this dream.
It was too dark and he couldn't see the stool under his feet clearly. He stepped on it crookedly, and with a "thump", Li Jianye fell to the ground.
The sound was not loud, but it still alarmed Wang Yulian.
Wang Yulian opened her eyes and looked at the empty beams above her head, thinking, could it be that Li Jianye has turned over?
Is he crazy? Is he looking for death in the middle of the night? Her daughter is next door!
Wang Yulian sat up with a frown.
The Wang family’s house is rather ordinary, with a small yard. It is just a simple east-west room with a kitchen in the middle - most houses in the village are structured like this.
Wang Yulian used to sleep in the east room with her husband, and her daughter slept in the west room. After her husband left, she slept alone in the east room. After hearing the noise, she slowly got up, put on some clothes, and walked out of the house in slippers.
She pushed open the wooden door lightly, and a figure rushed in with the breeze from outside, pressing directly on her, hugging her and shouting excitedly: "Yulian, I'm here, I got the money!"
Only then did Wang Yulian recognize that it was Li Jianye.
His white shirt was stained with dirt, his gold-rimmed glasses were crooked, and his gentle and elegant face was flushed red. When he rushed over, his breathing was rapid like a dog sticking out its tongue in the summer heat. His wheezing breath sprayed on Wang Yulian's face. Wang Yulian felt a little uncomfortable, but the next moment, she forgot about the discomfort.
"Did you get any money?" she asked. "How much did you get?"
Wang Yulian knew that Li Jianye was the richest family in the entire Lijia Village, but she still didn't expect Li Jianye to be so rich. As soon as she asked for it, Li Jianye gave it to her.
"Two hundred yuan." Li Jianye's voice trembled. He said, "I sent it to you overnight. Don't delay your work and your child's."
When Wang Yulian heard the word "two hundred yuan", she felt an indescribable joy in her heart. Her ruined life seemed to have been given birth to new bricks and tiles. She even liked Li Jianye very much. She no longer cared about things like "being seen late at night" and even took the initiative to pull Li Jianye into the east room.
As soon as Li Jianye entered the house, he took out some money and gave it to her. Wang Yulian counted it again and again, and finally carefully took out an iron box from the cabinet and put the money in it.
Then she hugged Li Jianye and kissed him actively.
When it comes to whether a person loves you or not, girls in the city talk about poetry, watch movies, and say those seemingly reasonable but half-hearted sour words, but women in the countryside don't do that. They have the simplest way to judge, which is to see how much money he gives them.
A man's sincerity is written in money. As long as he gives enough, that is love.
And a woman’s response to a man is also very simple: if you love me, I will love you; if I love you, I will be yours.
The love between the single man and the single woman was so intense that it ignited in an instant. The two of them fell haphazardly on the kang. At the critical moment, Wang Yulian became more rational and grabbed his hand and said, "Let's go to the grocery room in the back kitchen."
It was far away from the west room and her daughter wouldn't hear it.
The two of us, you touching me and I holding you, staggered to the grocery room.
This was the most beautiful grocery room Li Jianye had ever seen in his life.
This was also the first time that Li Jianye was completely immersed in a dream at night. Of course, he didn't care about any ethics or morals. He wanted to kneel down and lick every inch of the grocery room. He was so excited that he didn't realize that two women followed him and entered the Wang family's yard together.
After Hu Honghua and Shi Meilan met, they sneaked out of the back door together and followed Li Jianye into the yard of Widow Wang.
The two women secretly looked inside from the window.
When they saw the people inside hugging each other, Hu Honghua covered her face with her hands, and Shi Meilan clenched her hands into fists.
Seeing the two of them go to the grocery room at the back, Shi Meilan stood up quickly.
It was Hu Honghua's first time catching someone cheating, and she had no idea what to do. When she saw Aunt Shi stand up, she hurriedly stood up as well, nervously thinking about her next step.
Moon, dark and windy night, caught in bed with an adulterer!
She had heard it, she had heard it!
This kind of thing has happened in the village before. Usually a group of people would rush over, some would beat the adulterer, some would beat the adulteress, and everyone could come out to watch the fun.
So, will she beat the adulterer or the adulteress?
She may not be able to win!
But even if she can't win, she can't retreat!
As the old saying goes, now that she’s here, she has to go regardless of whether she wins or not!
At this time, Shi Meilan had already stood up and secretly opened the door of Widow Wang's room. When she turned around, she saw her disappointing daughter-in-law standing there trembling and gritting her teeth, not knowing what she was doing!
Shi Meilan was so angry that she waved her hands and mouthed, "Follow me!"
Hu Honghua followed with gritted teeth.
Keep up, keep up, keep up! If all else fails, tear off their clothes and run!
Hu Honghua was weak, pitiful, helpless, and tearful, but she was obedient. When Shi Meilan gave the order, she would go even though she knew she couldn't win.
But unexpectedly, after Shi Meilan came in, she did not rush to the grocery room, but went straight to the east wing, secretly opened the money box that Wang Yulian had just hidden, and took back the two hundred yuan inside.
Then, Shi Meilan stuffed something in, put the box back, stood up and walked out.
Hu Honghua, who was standing by, was stunned.
Auntie - what about catching an adulterer?
Shi Meilan didn't care about that matter at all. She realized after she died once that money is the most important thing. If the man comes back, she has plenty of ways to beat him. If she doesn't get the money back now, she will never have another chance in the future!
After she got the money back, she pulled Hu Honghua out, and the two returned to the Li family yard along the same route.
Shi Meilan held the money in her hand, and while taking Hu Honghua out of the house and sending her back, she said to Hu Honghua: "Let's go to the town tomorrow. There is a factory in the town with good jobs. With these 200 yuan, we can buy two good jobs."
Shi Meilan has completely given up on the men in the Li family. The men she married and the children she gave birth to are not good people. She does not intend to serve them anymore, but if she really leaves the Li family, she may get nothing.
The countryside is such a place. Women are born worthless. They can only serve men. Even if they are the head of the household, they are still men's invisible slaves. The homestead will not be written in her name at all, and she cannot snatch it away.
She used to think that women couldn't live without men, but later, she saw Wang Yulian found a job and lived a good life. Since Wang Yulian, that old slut, could live so well, why couldn't she?
She wants to live a better life!
As for that dead man Li Jianye, just give him to Wang Yulian. She is disgusting and there is no way she would compete with Wang Yulian for him.
If you want to rob, rob the money!
When Shi Meilan thought of this, she felt a little better as she held the money in her hand.
Hu Honghua was stunned: "The two of us?"
"Yes, the two of us." Shi Meilan turned around and looked at Hu Honghua.
The pure white moonlight fell on Shi Meilan's bright and elegant round face. She turned her head, and the corners of her upturned almond-shaped eyes seemed to be flashing with a cool light. When she looked at Hu Honghua, she was so gentle that she didn't seem like Aunt Shi.
Like a mother.
"Today, you help me, and I'll help you too. Honestly, the Li family isn't the right place for you. You can't stay here, and if I leave, you won't be able to stay here either. It's better to go out and find a good job than to wait on a man." Shi Meilan said to Hu Honghua, "This is a good idea."
This is also the reason why Shi Meilan brought Hu Honghua out this time.
The money was stolen by the two of them together, so they had to share the benefits. Hu Honghua had saved her before, so she had to bring Hu Honghua along for any good things in the future.
In the previous life, Wang Yulian and her daughter took advantage of this good thing. In this life, she must take Hu Honghua to get it back!
The Hu family paid most of the money in the first place, so this good thing must belong to the Hu family.
"Then, what about the rape?" Hu Honghua didn't know what was going on outside the village. Her uncle was busy and never took her out. She didn't know what a factory was, what kind of work it was, and what the benefits were. So she couldn't follow Shi Meilan's train of thought and asked in confusion, "Aren't you going to arrest her?"
She had encouraged herself in vain.
"Catch him." Shi Meilan had already walked Hu Honghua to the village road. She lowered her voice and said, "Catch him later. Don't tell anyone about what happened today."
Hu Honghua closed her mouth tightly and nodded heavily.
After the two separated, Shi Meilan returned to Li's house, hid the money, and slept soundly in the east room.
——
Li Jianye and Wang Yulian spent half the night shamelessly in the next room. Finally, Li Jianye climbed over the wall with trembling legs and returned to the Li family's house, and fell asleep in the west room.
I slept until the next morning and even missed the morning reading!
Oops! I've missed something important!
There was no time to savor the beauty of last night, and the boring life came back to him. Li Jianye hurriedly got up from the bed and ran out of the house in a panic. When he ran to the main room, he saw Shi Meilan dressed neatly and about to go out.
"Where are you going? What did you do this morning? I need to grab some to eat on the way."
Shi Meilan said without even turning her head: "I have to go to town and don't have time to cook for you."
Li Jianye looked at Shi Meilan's back in surprise.
What was going on? Shi Meilan used to be most concerned about whether he ate or slept. If there was a wrinkle on his white shirt, Shi Meilan would ask him about it for a long time, but today she just gave up.
