Chapter 206
When these words came out, everyone around was stunned and asked hesitantly, "Is there?"
The daughter-in-law continued, "Just think about it, what kind of life did the Song family live before that girl came to the family?"
"We were so poor that we could barely make ends meet. We had to scrape together money to pay for the children's schooling. And their third child, Song Jianye, had just broken his leg at the time."
As she spoke, the others began to reminisce. That was why everyone used to say the Song family was unlucky. It was because of bad luck. The family was already so broke, and then Song Jianye went out for a while and broke his leg for no apparent reason. Song Yuangang had paid for the hospital treatment. Because they didn't have much money, they didn't even have to stay in the hospital for long before taking him home.
We were all from the same brigade, and since her family was in trouble, we couldn't just stand by and watch. Although everyone was not well off, we still took a few eggs and went to take a look.
At that time, Feng Guizhi didn't say anything. She just thanked them and accepted the things. However, after the Song family's situation improved, she returned the things they brought plus two more eggs.
Then, it didn't take long before Baoya arrived at Old Song's house.
"At first, the girl said she was lost and was picked up by the Song family. Since they couldn't find her parents, they kept her at home. At that time, we were all saying that the Song family was so poor, yet they were willing to support another person."
"Not long after, Song Jianye went up the mountain and injured his leg again. But, did the county reward come down after that?"
When she said this, the others thought it was true. However, one of the maids frowned and said, "But this doesn't mean it's related to that girl, right? Jianye saved someone and broke his leg. Even if that girl hadn't happened, the county reward would still have come."
"Yeah, it's true that this can't be said to be related to that girl, but think about it, Jianye's leg was said to be incurable, but a few months later he was able to walk again, as if nothing had happened. Then there was the matter of the human traffickers, and it was also the eldest and second sons of the Song family who caught them. And then, there was the reward from the city, and he was awarded a 28-liter truck..."
"The Song family had been unlucky for many years. How could it be so coincidental that when that girl came, good things happened to the Song family one after another.
Life is getting better and better. There are job openings and opportunities to learn how to drive... Look, everyone is moving to the county town now!"
After hearing her talk about all these things one by one, the others thought that it seemed to be true.
If one thing is a coincidence, then two things are also coincidences, but if so many things are put together, then it would be too much of a coincidence to say it is a coincidence. Moreover, just as she said, they had seen how the old Song family lived in the past, and the changes in the old Song family in the past two years were indeed huge.
After thinking about this, everyone was shocked and couldn't help but lower their voices and say, "Is this... is this really so magical?"
Now everyone is talking about destroying the four olds, and they feel a little scared when they think about this happening around them.
"I think if that's the case, the girl might be repaying a favor. The Song family deserves it, after all, they were so poor back then, yet they were willing to take her in and feed her."
The others nodded after hearing this. If they had met Baoya themselves, they might not have been able to do the same.
"Perhaps this is what they say: good things happen to good people."
"Anyway, we can't tell whether it's true or not. Some things can't be explained clearly."
“…”
Everyone gathered together and talked for a while, then separated and went back to work. However, in the brigade, nothing can be kept secret, and it didn't take long for many people in the brigade to hear about it, and they couldn't help but talk about it in private.
A few days later, Chen Fengxia heard the people in the brigade talking about this while she was working in the fields. She was working nearby, but her ears were paying close attention to what was going on.
"I heard someone from the Red Flag Production Brigade talk about something these past few days, and it's related to the people in our brigade."
"What's the matter? Tell me quickly."
Several people gathered together and spoke in low voices, "I heard them say that Baoya is a blessed girl. Ever since she moved to her new home, her family has been blessed with good fortune. Just like the old Song family we talked about last time, didn't they all move to the county town?"
"Ah? But what does this have to do with Baoya? Why do you say she is blessed?"
The people around were all confused when they heard this. After all, they all knew that when Baoya was in the Liu family, Chen Fengxia called her "jinx" every day, saying that she was unlucky and that she had brought bad luck to the Liu family. Why did she become so unlucky now that she went to the Hongqi Production Brigade?
Lucky?
Then, the aunt repeated what the people from the Hongqi Production Brigade had said: "They said that after Baoya went to the Song family, good things happened to the Song family one after another, such as rewards from the county, and..."
After she finished speaking, she remembered something and said, "Oh, right, Baoya was still stupid when she was at the Liu family. Look, after going to the old Song family, Baoya has become better and is no longer stupid."
Once these words were spoken, the people around them began to think they were true. While they might have been coincidental, it didn't stop them from believing them. It's better to believe than not; some things are hard to predict.
"Now that you put it that way, it seems to be true."
"By the way, Baoya has become so beautiful since she went there. I couldn't recognize her when I saw her before. She looks nothing like her parents."
"Yes, she looks just like a little city girl."
"I told you before..."
They continued their conversation, while Chen Fengxia, who was secretly listening, was stunned. She frowned, subconsciously thinking: Impossible, that's just a jinx, how can it be so lucky? If it really is, then when I was at their house before, nothing good happened?
Chen Fengxia sneered and cursed inwardly, "What a bunch of fools! They believe such words."
She turned away and stopped listening, walked a little further away and sat down to rest under the shade of a tree. It was almost October, and the crops in the fields were about to be harvested. Now was the last few days of free time, so she just wanted to rest.
However, throughout the day, Chen Fengxia's mind kept echoing with their words, and the more she thought about it, the more irritated she became. Furthermore, the more she thought about it, the more she felt that this might actually be possible.
After returning home, Chen Fengxia's face was not in a good mood. She didn't even feel like cooking dinner. She lay in bed and thought carefully. Suddenly, she remembered many things she had ignored before.
For example, the chickens that Baoya feeds grow exceptionally well, sometimes even laying two eggs a day. For example, when Baoya goes up the mountain to dig wild vegetables, sometimes he even picks up pheasant eggs. For example...
There were many little things like this, but she had previously ignored them all because she only saw the bad side of Baoya. But after thinking about it carefully, Chen Fengxia realized that sometimes bad things happened after she treated Baoya badly...
The more she thought about it, the more frightened she became. At the same time, she began to feel a surge of regret. She couldn't help but think
If she hadn't sold Baoya at that time, what would their Liu family be like now? Or if she had been nicer to Baoya, would their family also have good luck?
Chen Fengxia recalled that several bad things had happened at home when she had just sent Baoya away.
The old hen they had been raising died, and the eggs they laid stopped coming out. Later, a mouse got into the rice jar and ate up a lot of the food. Then, her son, Liu Dazhu, was kidnapped by human traffickers, but was rescued by the Song family. If Baoya had been at their house at that time, then...
The more she thought about it, the more depressed she became. She clutched her chest, feeling as if it were blocked by a ball of cotton, unable to breathe either up or down.
When Liu Youcang returned home, he saw the empty kitchen. Frowning, he entered the house and saw Chen Fengxia lying on the bed. It was already dark outside, and there were no lights on in the house. Liu Youcang could only see a silhouette on the bed. He turned around and turned on the light. Only then did he see that Chen Fengxia's face was not looking good.
"What's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?" Liu Youcang asked with a frown.
Although the relationship between the two has been a little cold these days because of Baoya's incident, they have been married for many years after all. Seeing that Chen Fengxia is not in a good state, Liu Youcang cannot just ignore it.
Chen Fengxia glanced at him without saying a word. She just covered her chest and felt very uncomfortable.
Seeing that she didn't say anything, Liu Youcang didn't ask any more questions and went to the kitchen to start cooking. He made simple dishes and called Chen Fengxia after he finished. Chen Fengxia finally got out of bed and ate the meal without saying a word. After eating, she went back to bed.
Liu Youcang didn't say anything. After finishing his meal in a hurry, he took the dishes into the kitchen and started washing them.
Lying in bed, Chen Fengxia thought about Baoya and the Song family, now far away in the county town. Unable to stop herself from thinking about them, she couldn't help but wonder how the Song family was doing now that they were so far away. Previously, the people in the brigade had said that their family wasn't doing well, but now that Baoya's good fortune had been mentioned, Chen Fengxia began to doubt them again.
After thinking about it, Chen Fengxia secretly made a decision in her heart that she wanted to go to the county town!
