Chapter 155 Li Shuangshuang was beaten
Li Wanyue raised her hand and plucked the strings of the zither. She hadn't played it for a long time, but when she touched the strings, familiar memories came flooding back.
I couldn't help but play a song I like very much.
I tried the strings, and then the pleasant sound flowed.
Xie Yan listened attentively. He seemed as if he was in a paradise with blooming flowers, singing birds and fragrant flowers. It was as if he had met a beautiful woman and his heart was filled with joy.
In the end, I seemed to be reluctant to leave and was looking forward to seeing you again.
I looked at her with some surprise. I didn't expect her piano skills to be so good.
He became more and more curious about her past, but he would not ask and would slowly find out.
He himself had listened to many songs, but this was the first time he had heard this kind of song.
He said, "You are a very good pianist. This piece of music is very special. I have never heard it before."
Li Wanyue blinked: "I saw it in a music score. If it is paired with a flute, the song will sound better."
Old Lady Shen came over with a smile: "Wanyue, I didn't expect you to play so well, better than A'yan. This zither is for you."
"No need, old lady. This zither looks expensive. I can't accept it."
Old Lady Shen smiled and said, "It doesn't matter if it's expensive or not. It's not mine anyway. This is Ayan's piano. He doesn't use it on weekdays, so it's always idle. The piano has been broken for a long time. If you take it back, it will be considered as keeping the piano for him, right, Ayan?"
Li Wanyue: “…”
Xie Yan said: "Grandmother is right. If Miss Li doesn't mind, take it. I won't be able to use it anyway."
Li Wanyue thought for a moment and said, "How about this, I'll count it as the money I bought from you, and deduct it from the profit."
Xie Yan didn't expect that she would make such a clear distinction. He looked at her helplessly before nodding in agreement.
"Thank you." Li Wanyue was in a good mood.
There are no mobile phones or televisions here, so listening to the piano can add some color to life.
The lunch was very sumptuous, with dishes that Li Wanyue had never eaten before and they were delicious.
After dinner, Xie Yan sent Li Wanyue to Fanghua Pavilion, moved the piano to the store and left.
Li Sandong saw the large object wrapped in cloth and asked curiously, "Sister, what is this?"
“Guzheng.”
“What is a guzheng?”
"It's a musical instrument, given to me by Madam Shen."
Li Sandong was surprised: "Sister, can you play a musical instrument?"
Li Wanyue had already thought of an excuse: "Yes, didn't Aunt Wang's family have a distant relative who did business in the county town and later lost all his property and stayed at her house temporarily? The daughter of that relative can play the piano, and when I went to play with Wang Ling, I followed her to learn for a while."
"Oh, I see." Li Sandong said, and picked up the basket beside him to show her: "Sister, look here, are there the fruits you mentioned?"
Li Wanyue looked at it and shook her head.
Li Sandong said: "It's okay, sister. There is no big market today. I will go to the market to ask when the next big market comes."
Then they returned to the village.
As soon as I arrived in the village, I heard the villagers under the big locust tree talking about Li Shuangshuang returning.
"Oh, you didn't see it. Shuangshuang's face was swollen. The two girls were so scared that they kept crying."
"Shuangshuang has a good temper and works efficiently, but Liu Zhaocai actually hit her, and he hit her in front of the child. He is such a bastard."
Li Wanyue frowned when she heard this. She immediately went home and asked Zhao Suying, "Mom, what happened to Shuangshuang?"
Zhao Suying sighed, "They were beaten. I went to see them, but I don't know why. Shuangshuang didn't tell me."
Li Wanyue said: "I'll go see her."
Zhao Suying nodded: "I have the blood-activating and blood-dissolving medicine you bought at home. Bring it with you and I'll go with you."
My mother was really thoughtful. In her previous life, she had the habit of keeping medicine at home, such as cold medicine, band-aids, etc., in case of any minor injuries, they could be treated in time.
She also bought some when she went to the county town before.
I took the medicine and a bag of candied fruit and went to Li Shuangshuang's house.
In the yard, Mr. Li and his two sons were frowning and looking angry.
The two daughters-in-law hugged the eldest and second daughters and coaxed them.
Zhang Mei and Li Shuangshuang were in the room.
Li Wanyue walked into the yard, greeted everyone first, and then gave the candied fruit to the eldest and second girls.
Then he and Zhao Suying knocked on the door and went into the house.
Inside the room, Li Shuangshuang was leaning on the bed, her eyes were red and swollen, staring blankly at the window, her cheeks were also swollen. Zhang Mei wiped her tears out of heartache.
"Aunt, this medicine can invigorate blood circulation and dissolve blood stasis. Apply it to Shuangshuang."
"Good boy, thank you." Zhang Mei took the medicine bottle and carefully helped Li Shuangshuang apply it, and the latter showed some reaction.
"Yueyue and Auntie are here. I hope I didn't scare you." Li Shuang covered his face with his hands and didn't dare to look up.
Li Wanyue asked: "Shuangshuang, what's going on?"
Li Shuangshuang's tears fell again: "He is not a human, he is not a human..."
After crying for a while, she sobbed again and said, "Yesterday I went to Zuixianju in town to sell eggs, and I saw Liu Zhaocai taking the widow Chen from the village to eat there. He was very nice to her. In fact, I knew what was going on at a glance. I stupidly asked him, and he impatiently told me not to mind his business.
At night, I heard Liu Zhaocai talking to his mother. They said that Widow Chen was pregnant with his child for two months, and the fortune teller said it was a son. He was going to marry Widow Chen and divorce me. I was so angry that I rushed in to argue with them. Liu Zhaocai then beat me until I passed out.
When I woke up, it was already daybreak. It was the big girl who secretly asked the neighbor for half a cake for me, so that I had the strength to bring them back.
I have been married to their family for so many years, working hard without complaint. He used to beat me, but I didn’t dare let my parents know. I also endured it for the sake of the children. But this time is different. He actually wants to divorce me for another woman..."
Li Shuangshuang cried so hard that she couldn't breathe.
Zhang Mei hugged her and cried while saying viciously: "You bastard, I will take your father and your brother to the Liu family to seek justice for you."
Li Shuangshuang shook her head: "Mom, don't go. They have relatives working in the county government. What if they arrest us and put us in jail? What will we do then?"
"Damn you Liu family." Zhang Mei gritted her teeth and then said, "Shuangshuang, if you want to divorce, then divorce. It's better for your parents to raise you than to be tortured in that den of tigers and wolves."
Li Wanyue was angry at the shamelessness of the Liu family, but also felt pity for Li Shuangshuang's experience.
She just said, "Shuangshuang, it's not worth it to be sad for someone like that. You will live a better life if you leave their home. For the sake of the children, divorce them. It just so happens that I'm short of help, so let's make money together."
Li Shuangshuang gradually calmed down and said, "Yueyue, thank you."
Li Wanyue and her daughter returned home and saw several people gathered around a large object on the table. Zhao Suying couldn't help but wonder, "What is this?"
Xiaolan said, "My third uncle brought it back and said it belonged to my aunt."
Li Wanyue walked forward and opened the cloth bag: "This is a guzheng."
After saying that, he plucked the strings of the zither.
It was the first time for those present to hear the sound of the piano, and they felt both curious and excited.
Want to try but dare not touch.
