Chapter 189 Gods Chapter 10
Aunt Zhang used to be a weak and gentle girl, but life did not allow her to be like that. If she did not become tough, she would not be able to protect her two daughters.
Previously, a hooligan from another village almost bullied her eldest daughter, but luckily someone saw it and nothing serious happened. Everyone thought that it was just a matter of holding back anger and having no place to seek justice, so they just let it go.
As a result, Aunt Zhang went to the man's house that day and threatened to kill him. Her expression at that time did not look like she was bluffing at all, she really had the intention to kill him.
Later, the team leader persuaded Aunt Zhang with many words, saying that her daughter at home still needed her, and she gave up. However, she also broke the man's legs, and he was bedridden for several months.
Knowing they were in the wrong, the family didn't dare to cause trouble, and the matter ended there, but Aunt Zhang's reputation was completely ruined.
Since then, no one dared to gossip about it, as it was a fatal matter.
However, Aunt Zhang was raising two children alone, and her living conditions were not very good. On weekdays, the three of them earned some work points, which was just enough to feed themselves. There was no such thing as anything else. The house was truly bare.
So after work yesterday, the villagers all went back to prepare for dinner, but Lin Lianhua took her backpack and went to the mountains to dig wild vegetables. It was during this trip that she discovered an unconscious man lying in the mountains.
Lin Lianhua was also a brave person. She dragged the man home step by step. It was too late at that time and no one saw it.
But it was discovered the next day. This kind of thing cannot be concealed. With multiple injured people in the family, they all need to see a doctor and take medicine.
Aunt Zhang didn't find out there was a man lying in Lin Lianhua's room until dawn. She was so angry that she almost lost her temper. After scolding Lin Lianhua, she went to find the team leader. In the end, the team leader said that she would keep the man with her for the time being as there was no other place for him to live.
Aunt Zhang knew what he meant. She was just afraid of something going wrong and getting herself into trouble. It was only because her daughter Lianhua was too kind that she took the man back.
Now everyone is just discussing it behind his back. They don't have any bad intentions, they just like to chat and gossip. As for the situation of that man, only Lin Lianhua's family knows.
Yu Qing's mother, who is now in a certain position, has a relatively good relationship with Aunt Zhang. They both got married at about the same time, and she would occasionally help Aunt Zhang.
So, he went to help find a barefoot doctor early in the morning. He had just come to work, and because the assigned tasks were different, Yu Qing had to wait until he went back to rest before he had the chance to ask questions.
"Mom, how's that guy Erniu picked up?"
Chen Guihong is cooking. She has to go to work at around two o'clock in the afternoon. Since the man in the family is out on business, she has to do more at noon.
Yu Qing was helping her wash vegetables in the kitchen. Chen Guihong was busy chopping vegetables as she responded, "It's a blessing he's not dead. He just broke a leg. I'm guessing he's from one of the nearby villages and accidentally fell while going up the mountain. Your Aunt Zhang will have to go find out at noon to find out whose child he is."
It is not a good idea to keep the baby at home all the time. You have to find the family and take it home to take good care of it. You also need to discuss the future affairs with them.
We can't let Erniu's reputation be ruined for no reason and still suffer the consequences.
"I've discussed it with your Aunt Zhang. If it's a good match, we can get engaged. If it's not, we can just ask for some compensation. We're all villagers anyway, so we won't gossip about it outside. I'll find a man from outside to marry when the time comes."
"No matter how old this guy is, we need to examine his personality." Yu Qing placed the freshly washed sweet potatoes on the chopping board made of wooden stakes. "What does Erniu think?"
Chen Guihong got a headache just talking about this. She sighed, "I guess he was in love with her. You didn't see that guy, he's really good-looking. I've never seen anyone more handsome than him in this area!"
Chen Guihong had never been to school and her cultural level was relatively low, so she couldn't explain the reason behind her compliments, but it was not difficult to tell from her excitement that the man must be really handsome.
Yu Qing thought for a while and asked her, "After dinner, I want to go to Erniu's house to take a look. Is that okay?"
Chen Guihong wanted to refuse, but perhaps thinking of the relationship between the two families, she nodded and said, "Okay, your dad will be back soon, so you can bring some things over."
"good."
It is summer vacation now, so we don’t need to go to school during the summer harvest.
Hu Jiashu arrived home at one o'clock in the afternoon. He was sweating profusely after walking all the way back from the county town. He took off his shirt and washed himself at the well before going home.
He went to the county town this time because there was work there and he could earn twenty yuan a day, but it was hard labor and most people couldn't stand it, so he and a few other people in the village went there.
He came back with a bunch of things in his arms, and as soon as he came back, Yu Qing ran out of the room.
"Daya, come here quickly, Dad bought you something good!" Hu Jiashu waved at her mysteriously, and took out a small can of orange peel candy and a small can of malted milk from the bag.
"Thank you, Dad!" Yu Qing filled a small bag with candy and ran out: "Dad, I'm going to go next door to see Erniu, I'll be back soon."
Hu Jiashu didn't know that Erniu had picked up a man and thought she was going to bring food to Da Niu and Er Niu again, so he took the food back to the house.
"I'm back."
In the room, Chen Guihong shouted symbolically and continued to sew clothes.
Nowadays, few people buy new cloth. They just mend what they can. If they can't mend, they use it as a rag. The remaining cloth can be made into socks.
Hu Jiashu put the things down and said with a smile: "I bought you something good. Try it. Do you like the taste?"
Chen Guihong didn't even raise her head: "What is it?"
Suddenly, everything went dark before my eyes, and in my dark palm I found a piece of horse-faced oil.
"Look at you, what did you buy this for?"
Having said that, Chen Guihong's eyes were red. She quickly wiped her hands and took it, carefully stroking the texture on the facial oil.
"I've been with you for so many years and I haven't let you live a good life. Now that I'm making money, who should I spend it on if not you and my daughter?"
Hu Jiashu chuckled foolishly, and only after he sat down did he remember to ask, "Oh, by the way, I heard some gossip on the way back. What happened to Miss Zhang's family?"
"Those gossipmongers!" Chen Guihong snorted coldly before explaining the whole story to him: "Actually, this isn't Erniu's fault. She's young and naive, but she means well after all."
Hu Jiashu nodded in agreement: "That's true, but it's inevitable that some people will gossip about it. Sister Zhang's husband was also half a brother to me back then, so I should help him out more."
"How could I not know this?" Chen Guihong pushed him in annoyance, then got out of bed happily, washed her hands and face.
Then she took out a round mirror, held the oval handle at the bottom, and applied facial oil in front of the mirror.
