Erhu, dragging his swollen, red buttocks from his parents' beatings, limped off to find Liu Gaifeng. He secretly pulled out a small packet of dried red-legged shrimp from his pocket and handed it to Gaifeng.
Gai Feng is now a seventeen-year-old girl. Ever since her brother Liu Baobao died, her grandmother was both angry and afraid. She couldn't catch her breath and passed away not long after. Only her parents are left at home blaming each other every day.
The year that Gai Fengtou lived was really tough. After her parents fought, they cursed her as a jinx, saying she had brought death to Liu Baobao and caused the Liu family line to end!
Her parents, both in their forties and fifties, after arguing and fighting, still wanted to create another heir by nightfall. Unfortunately, after a year of trying, there was no result at all, and Fengniang's belly remained empty.
Gai Feng's father disliked Gai Feng's mother for being old and unattractive, saying that it was a waste of his seeds because the seedlings wouldn't grow. So he secretly took the family's money and went to a neighboring village to find a widow, hoping to start over.
For the sake of the few hundred yuan in Gai Feng's father's hands, the widow genuinely treated him well for half a year. Who knew that the widow's belly, like Gai Feng's mother's, was empty. Although her belly was a bit big, it was just fat that had grown inside.
One evening, Gai Feng's father went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy a pound of fatty meat and three ounces of loose liquor. Humming a song, he went to the widow's house.
Gai Feng's father had the widow cook meat and serve him a good drink of baijiu. He was hoping to have a child with the widow while he was drunk, but the widow kept making excuses and refused, even asking Gai Feng's father for money.
Gai Feng's father was actually a very stingy man. He would only have spent a lot of money to find a widow if it weren't for the need to continue the Liu family line.
"Didn't I just give you fifty yuan? Why do you want more money?! Do you think my money grows on trees?"
Upon hearing this, the widow's eyebrows furrowed, she snorted coldly, and shoved away Gai Feng's father, who was groping her.
"You're talking nonsense!"
"You just gave me fifty yuan? You gave me forty-three yuan a month ago!"
"Every time you come here, you want to eat meat and drink alcohol. Except for this time when you bought some lean, rotten pork, when else have you spent this money?!"
Seeing that the widow was angry, she launched into a tirade, which sobered up most of the father. He stammered, "Well, well, you ate the wine and meat too. Besides, you don't need that much money to buy wine and meat!"
"You think you can sleep with me for free? Do you think I'd let you sleep with me for nothing?!"
The widow snorted coldly, reached out and put on her cotton-padded coat, crossing her arms in front of her chest.
Gai Feng's father's lips and outstretched fingers trembled with anger. "You, you, you're not really with me?"
"Are you after my money?"
The widow laughed as soon as she heard this.
"If I wasn't after your money, why would I be after your youth or your good looks?!"
"Look at your face, all those wrinkles, each one could trap a fly!"
"Sincere? How dare you say such a thing? You and I are truly sincere? How many times have I told you to divorce your wife and marry me, and did you do it?"
"Don't I know what you're up to? You just want me to have your child, don't you?"
Gai Feng's father turned pale. The feeling of being betrayed by his woman was truly heartbreaking for him. Of course, being ruthlessly exposed by the widow made him even more embarrassed.
"I've spent over four hundred yuan on you, and you haven't even hatched an egg for me!"
However, he wasn't as eloquent as the widow, and after racking his brains for a long time, he could only come up with this one sentence to save face.
The widow, not to be outdone, retorted disdainfully, "You think you can get me to lay an egg in those three seconds?!"
Gai Feng's father felt a "boom" in his head, as if his mind and spirit had been shattered.
Three, three seconds?
He, he always takes so long...
While he was still in a daze, the widow rummaged through all his pockets and pulled out a handful of small bills.
She spat on her fingers and counted the bills one by one, "Two dollars and eighty-six cents!"
When Gai Feng's father saw that all the money on him had been taken, he rushed forward to grab it, shouting, "Give it back to me! This is all the money I have on me!"
......
Both of them were stunned for a moment.
The widow never expected that Feng's father would become penniless so quickly.
Gai Feng's father never expected that he would blurt out the truth!
His family doesn't have any money. It's just what the brigade distributed, and the widow has squandered almost all of it in the last six months!
Gai Feng's father was kicked out by a widow!
According to the widow's neighbors, on a freezing cold day, Gai Feng's father was locked out of the house by the widow with his bare bottom exposed. He was so cold that he shivered and it took him a long time to get dressed.
Gai Feng's father returned home dejectedly. As soon as he entered the door, he lay down on the kang (a heated brick bed), covered his face with the quilt, and wailed loudly.
Gai Fengniang originally hated Gai Feng's father for taking the family's money to go find a vixen, but her inability to have children was a source of great distress and a major weakness for her. In order to be able to stay in the Liu family and live a peaceful life in the future, she had no choice but to grit her teeth and accept it.
When she saw that her husband was like this, she hurriedly went over and lifted the blankets, asking anxiously, "Husband, what happened?"
Gai Feng's father cried, his face covered in snot and tears. He choked out, "Gai Feng's mother, that slut cheated me out of my money!"
Lu Jiannu was the name of that widow.
Hearing her husband call that little vixen so affectionately, Gai Fengniang practically ground her teeth to powder. However, she was a shrewd woman. "Husband, let me get you a basin of hot water to wash your face first. We'll talk later."
Gai Fengniang told Gai Feng to boil water for her father, while she herself earnestly wiped Gai Feng's father's face and feet, truly comforting his heartbroken old heart that had just been hurt by a broken love.
See? The original wife is still the best!
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Gai Fengniang won back the heart of the wayward old man. As for the few hundred yuan she gave away, it wasn't because she was now rich and powerful, but because the team was making money like it was falling from the sky. Her family would definitely receive a dividend of several hundred yuan at the end of the year!
Consider those few hundred yuan as pocket money for my man to go out and have fun!
What man doesn't have a few romantic affairs?
As long as you know to go home after you're done playing, that's fine!
In this realization, Feng Niang and Grandmother Jia in Dream of the Red Chamber are highly similar: which cat doesn't steal fish?
The lost old cat that stole fish has returned home, but the issue of the fire being extinguished still looms large.
The couple couldn't sleep because of their worries. After thinking about it for a long time, they decided to target their daughter, Liu Gaifeng.
