Chen Xiangzhi didn't come back all night, and An Hongdou was really sleepy, so she went to bed first.
As a result, when I woke up the next morning, he was still not there.
An Hongdou asked An Changyue to come and look after the child, and she went to the village.
Andelai was also not at his house. An Hongdou learned from Miao Hong that after Shen Xiangzhi brought the people here yesterday, Andelai directly called a few people together and took Li Laicai to the town to report to the police.
Moreover, due to Li Laicai's confession, Ma Cuilian was also taken away.
There were no secrets in the village. The news that An Hongdou's house was almost burned down last night had spread throughout the village like a strong wind.
Old Mrs. An came over to ask her about the situation, and An Hongdou told her the truth.
It was almost noon when Shen Xiangzhi and his group came back, bringing back Ma Cuilian as well.
Although Ma Cuilian was implicated in this incident, she denied it and said that she only pointed out the way, but was remembered by Wang Meng, who bullied the weak and feared the strong.
Even the words that Ma Cuilian and Wang Meng said when they quarreled were restored in front of the police.
In the end, they still couldn't prove that Ma Cuilian instigated people to set the fire, so they could only give her a lecture and then let her go.
I have to say, it's quite regrettable.
However, An Hongdou was not worried. Since the prison refused to accept her, she would build a cell for her and give her a better life.
I don’t know how Ma Cuilian will feel when she lives the same life as Zhao Xiaoyue is living now!
After returning from town, Ma Cuilian behaved herself for a while, but not for long.
When she saw the empty noodle jar at home, she was filled with anger.
He pulled Zhao Xiaoyue out of the kitchen, pinched and twisted her for a long time, then picked up a rattan branch that he had picked up specifically to teach Zhao Xiaoyue a lesson, and started beating and scolding her.
It seemed that only in this way could she vent the hatred in her heart.
At Andelai's house, looking at Ma Cuilian who came to borrow grain, Andelai said: "Zhao family, your family has owed a lot of grain to the village in the past few years, especially this year, you have borrowed several times. If everyone in the village is like you, how can everyone live?"
The village also has a policy of keeping reserve food. Families who really don’t have enough to eat can write an IOU and ask the village for an advance on their food rations.
This time it was not that An Delai was trying to make things difficult for her. It was really because the Zhao family had advanced too much, and Zhao Youliang was not around, so Ma Cuilian was alone. Add to that the previous debts, and she was afraid that even if she went without food and drink for two years, she would not be able to pay off the debt.
Ma Cuilian had no choice but to turn around and go home.
On the way, I met sisters I knew before.
Ma Cuilian stepped forward and wanted to ask for help, but was pushed instead and fell to the ground. The stones on the ground scratched her palms and bruised her skin.
"What bad luck! How could I meet this old woman? She is mean and mean-spirited. Oh, have you heard about it? The man who set fire to the educated youth's house yesterday confessed that it was Ma Cuilian who asked him to go."
"Didn't you say it wasn't her? It was that guy who was talking nonsense."
"You believe this? If it's really nonsense, why didn't he accuse me? Why didn't he accuse you? Why did he accuse this old bitch?"
Several women were talking about it, starting with the story about Shen Xiangzhi's house and then about the incident between Ma Cuilian and Zhang Xinyou. Ma Cuilian's face turned pale and her heart trembled. She could not stay any longer and could only stagger home.
Man is iron and food is steel. If you don't eat for a meal, you will feel hungry.
There was no food at home and Ma Cuilian was so hungry that she went to find Zhao Xiaoyue again.
However, Zhao Xiaoyue was not at home this time, but sneaked out when she was out.
"This damn girl sneaked out again. It seems that she was not beaten enough!" Ma Cuilian spat inwardly. She made up her mind that when Zhao Xiaoyue came back, she would teach her a lesson.
I told her many times not to go out. She beat me up yesterday afternoon just for going out, but she still didn't learn her lesson today.
You little bitch, you really didn’t hit me enough!
"Cui Lian, are you home?"
Ma Cuilian, who was filled with resentment, suddenly heard someone calling her. She turned around and saw her former good sister walking in.
Because Lin Hongxia was plump, the younger people in the village called her Fat Auntie.
She used to have a good relationship with Ma Cuilian, but ever since the relationship between Ma Cuilian and Zhang Xinyou was exposed, Ma Cuilian has been isolated by everyone.
"Hongxia, is there something wrong?" Ma Cuilian didn't think that Lin Hongxia was smiling so happily because she was really happy to see her.
Lin Hongxia looked around and saw that Ma Cuilian's house was in a mess, and a look of disgust flashed in her eyes.
However, thinking about the two dollars and a piece of cloth from Ergouzi, she cheered up again.
Lin Hongxia came forward and held Ma Cuilian's hand intimately, saying distressedly: "Cuilian, don't blame me for ignoring you during this period. You know your situation yourself, and what about my big family? Although I really feel sorry for you, I can't ignore the thoughts of my family."
Ma Cuilian's face twisted, and she pulled her hand out of Lin Hongxia's hand angrily, "If you're here to teach me a lesson, then you can leave."
"Cui Lian, you hurt my heart if you say that. I have been worrying about you all the time. I finally helped you think of a way to deal with it, and now I have come to find you right away." Lin Hongxia pretended to be angry.
Ma Cuilian was hated by everyone in the village, and now she had no food at home and was really forced into a desperate situation.
When she heard Lin Hongxia's words, she quickly asked, "Hongxia, what do you mean? Do you have a way to help me?"
"Of course not." Lin Hongxia Gu Ze glared at her angrily.
When Ma Cuilian heard this, she smiled and invited her into the house, and the two of them whispered for a while.
The smile on Ma Cuilian's face also faded, "Hongxia, your method won't work. I'm already so old, even if I want to get married, there may not be anyone willing to marry me."
Moreover, she has waited for so many years, and now she is watching him become an old woman and remarry. What good can it be?
"Since I'm here to tell you about this, there must be a way. Just tell me directly whether you have the intention or not." Lin Hongxia deliberately nudged Ma Cuilian with her elbow and winked at her ambiguously.
Considering the fact that she was ostracized in the village, Ma Cuilian was indeed tempted, but after thinking it over again and again, she still couldn't make up her mind.
Lin Hongxia took the opportunity to tempt, "Cui Lian, don't say I don't take care of you. The man I'm talking about is not even 50 years old. His two sons have already separated the family and give him pension money every year. He is just lonely at his age, so he wants to find a partner to live with. I've given you 10 yuan for the betrothal gift, but you don't think about how much the betrothal gift a grown woman gives. You won't lose out if you agree. Moreover, think about your current situation. You don't have anything to eat or drink, and you are being ostracized. Zhang Xinyou's wife is also causing trouble for you. How long can you last like this?"
