Chapter 5: Who are you trying to fool? How come we didn’t know that the fourth brother got married?
The aisle was extremely narrow and barely wide enough for walking. Wen Jiu suppressed her nausea and carried her luggage while struggling to find her seat and sit down.
Fortunately, the train started moving soon, and the wind blew away the sweaty smell and other messy smells from the crowded summer carriage.
It was not yet dark and the sun was still scorching, so there was basically no one sleeping in the sleeper car. People were gathered in groups of three or four chatting, and the various accents mixed together made the atmosphere particularly lively.
At first, Wen Jiu was quite interested and listened to their conversation to pass the time, but soon she lost interest in listening because she was so hungry that her chest was sticking to her back.
Just as Wen Jiu was about to take out money to buy some, the flight attendant pushed a cart and shouted, "Come on, put your legs back!"
"Peanuts", "melon seeds", "instant noodles".
"Soda", "Cigarettes", "Sausage".
The hawking voices were loud and clear, and the people standing in the aisle moved aside subconsciously to allow the flight attendant to pass with the shopping cart.
Wen Jiu quickly said, "I, I, I, I want two bottles of soda and two packs of instant noodles."
"Okay! Two bottles of soda are 30 cents, and two packs of instant noodles are 1.3 yuan."
Wenjiu gave the money, took the things, took out the lunch box from the bag, tore open the packaging, put the instant noodles in the lunch box, and took it to the connection between the two carriages to get boiling water.
At this moment, she was very glad that she had stuffed the lunch box into her bag.
Otherwise, I can’t even eat instant noodles.
In the 1980s, instant noodles were only packaged, and the packaging was incomparable to modern ones. She bought minced meat noodles, the outer packaging of which was made of paper, with a layer of oil paper inside to prevent moisture. It had a red background with blue characters and a yellow border. The pinyin on the surface was very trendy at the time, but it is a bit out of place nowadays.
After filling your stomach, you will feel comfortable after drinking warm wine.
There was nothing much going on on the road. Apart from sleeping, she just stared at the scenery outside the window and listened to people chatting from all over the world.
At 3:30 p.m. the next day, the train arrived in Daocheng on time. Wenjiu successfully found the car prepared by Xie Tianzong and drove to Lu Beiye's house according to the address on the letter.
He is the fourth child in the family.
My father's name is Liang Cui, my father is Lu Hongjun, I have two older brothers and a younger sister.
The eldest brother Lu Dongyang is 30 years old this year. He married Zhou Mei from Zhoujia Village and has a son and a daughter. His son Lu Qiuyu is 12 years old and his daughter Lu Xue is 9 years old.
The second elder brother, Lu Nanfeng, is 27 years old this year. He married Qi Lianhua, the daughter of the village chief of the neighboring village. However, they have not had any children in seven years of marriage and often fight and threaten to divorce.
The third brother, Lu Xicheng, died at the age of 10.
My younger sister Lu Qingqing is 18 years old. She just finished the college entrance examination. She is very smart and sensible, and very beautiful.
Life was hard in the 1960s and 1970s, and the idea of favoring boys over girls was very serious. Girls generally got married and had children early, and it was good enough for them to survive to this age. Some were even killed right after birth.
His home is not far from the city, but the mountain road is winding and difficult to walk on. Wenjiu was not familiar with the road and got lost.
It was a little scary in the mountains at night. The branches fell and the swords bared their fangs and claws, and there were mournful bird calls everywhere. Wen Jiuhun was almost scared away and drove the car tremblingly.
Seeing the light of a flashlight ahead, I quickly stopped the car on the side of the road.
"Hello, do we need to continue along this road to Qingshui Village?"
She was afraid that she would go the wrong way again.
Lu Nanfeng replied hastily, "Yes, we are from Qingshui Village. Are you in a hurry? If you are not in a hurry, can you please help send my mother to the hospital? We will give you money, please help me. My mother suddenly became ill. She has a rash all over her body, and she is bleeding everywhere and can't breathe..."
"It's so itchy, so itchy..." Liang Cui lay on Lu Dongyang, crying out weakly, and scratching her body in pain with her hands.
Lu Hongjun was afraid that Liang Cui would fall, so he walked behind Lu Dongyang and supported her, looking up at the warm wine with anticipation on his face.
"My dear, can you please help us? We really have no other choice. We have to walk until tomorrow morning. My wife may not be able to hold on..." His voice trembled at the end.
Seeing the person who had been with him for more than 30 years become like this, he felt extremely anxious, fearing that she would leave him like this.
After thinking about it, Wen Jiu thought that they might be from Lu Beiye's family, so he asked quickly: "Uncle, your name is Lu Hongjun, right?"
“Yes, yes, yes.”
Lu Hongjun nodded quickly, "It's me."
Wenjiu jumped out of the car happily, opened the back door and said, "Dad, I'm your fourth daughter-in-law, Wenjiu. Get in the car quickly, let's take my mom to the hospital."
"Okay, okay."
"Old woman, hold on, we'll be at the hospital soon!" Lu Hongjun was so excited that tears flowed from his eyes. He and Lu Nanfeng hurriedly took Liang Cui off Lu Dongyang's back and put her into the car.
Seeing Lu Hongjun about to get on the car, Wen Jiu quickly grabbed his arm and asked, "Where's Qingqing?"
If she remembered correctly, Lu Qingqing was raped tonight.
Lu Hongjun wiped his tears and said, "Your mother suddenly fell ill and is dying. I was afraid that the money in my family was not enough for her treatment, so I asked Qingqing to go to your uncle's house to ask for money."
Wen Jiu said seriously, "Dad, I came back this time because I dreamed that something happened to my mother. Qingqing met some hooligans in the village who had been in prison on the way back from her uncle's house. The situation at home is very bad."
"My mom's current condition is just like what I dreamed about. Let's do this. I'll drive my mom to the hospital for treatment, and you take people to look for Qingqing along the way to my uncle's house. If we get there too late, I'm afraid she might be in danger."
She didn't know how to explain this matter so that the Lu family would believe her, so she could only find this excuse.
After hearing this, Qi Lianhua stretched out her hand and pushed her away, saying viciously: "You liar! You deceived me, your aunt. You said you are the fourth son's wife, so you are?"
"What evidence do you have?"
"Who are you trying to fool? How come we didn't know that the fourth brother got married?"
"You're still dreaming. Why don't you say you're the reincarnation of a witch? I think you're deliberately trying to trick my dad and his friends away so you can steal their money and kill them!"
"If I don't teach you a lesson today, I won't be called Qiao Lianhua." She said as she rolled up her sleeves and went to warm the wine.
She hated these things the most because she had tried many secret recipes made by sorcerers but had not been able to successfully conceive a baby.
Now I can't stand anyone mentioning it. I get so angry when I hear it.
Wen Jiu saw Qi Lianhua coming towards him, and quickly turned around and hid to the side.
Qi Lianhua fell flat on her face, her fat body lying on the ground for a long time without being able to get up. She yelled at the top of her voice, "Lu Nanfeng, are you fucking blind?"
"Can't you see that I'm being bullied by a liar?"
"Hurry up and deal with her!"
The brothers Lu Dongyang and Lu Nanfeng thought what Qi Lianhua said made sense, and even Lu Hongjun looked at her with caution.
They don't understand cars.
If I were locked in the car, wouldn't she be able to do whatever she wanted to me?
