Yang Xiu's Misfortune
Hu Yuxiang became more and more angry as she walked. When she returned home and saw the old man half lying down smoking, she could not help but slam the table and said angrily:
"It's all your fault. You asked me to remind them. But they ignored my kindness. I will just pretend that I don't have a sister named Hu Yufeng..."
Fu Jianshe looked at his wife's gloomy face and pondered, "What's wrong? Sister doesn't appreciate it?"
Hu Yuxiang told what happened.
Fu Jianshe couldn't help but sigh: "Wenli usually looks gentle, but I didn't expect that he has such a personality."
"They say a barking dog never bites. I think they are referring to Wenli. If she doesn't appreciate it, she, Hu Yufeng, will have a hard time in the future..." Hu Yuxiang said angrily.
"Alright, alright, it doesn't matter if they don't appreciate it. We just need to fulfill our obligations as relatives. It's their face that's lost anyway, so we should just have less contact with them in the future..."
…
Old Qin’s house.
Hu Yufeng closed the door, thought for a while and said to Yang Xiu: "Your aunt and your father are both brainless. Please persuade Wenli not to take it to heart."
Yang Xiu responded and everyone went back to their rooms.
In the main room.
On a large kang that could sleep ten people, Qin Shengtian sat at the head of the kang, while Hu Yufeng lay at the edge, leaving a full two-meter gap between them.
Because Qin Shengtian was in the wrong, he didn't bow to his old wife at this moment, and he didn't even dare to fart.
There was no moon tonight, and with the lights off, it was pitch dark in the room. Such thick darkness made it easy for Hu Yufeng to sort out her confused thoughts.
To be honest, she had expected what happened this morning to get out. After all, the big mouth next door was not just a name. Wenli's aunt-in-law is the kind of person who would like to see her family's reputation ruined. She would create trouble out of nothing to bring misfortune to her family. How could she let go of such a good opportunity that was given to her for free?
She was angry about this, but these minor incidents were nothing compared to that bizarre dream.
…
In the west room. Qin Wenli seemed to be casually flipping through a martial arts novel, but his mind was clearly not on the book.
After Yang Xiu coaxed the two children to sleep, she took the sewing basket and, while sewing the soles of the shoes, she looked at the man's face and said carefully, "Are you still angry?"
Qin Wenli did not answer.
Yang Xiu poked his arm and said, "Don't be angry. I've scolded Second Aunt so many times, but she still speaks without thinking. It's not worth it for you to be angry with her."
Qin Wenli shook his head: "I'm not angry about this..."
"That means Dad is mad at you, which is even more unprofitable. Dad..."
Yang Xiu thought for a long time, but couldn't find any suitable words to describe her weird father-in-law, so she just brushed it off, "Anyway, don't be angry. If you get angry, I'll have to take care of you. I'm busy enough every day, so don't make things worse..."
Qin Wenli laughed: "I thought you were here to advise me, but it turns out you were afraid of causing trouble for yourself..."
Yang Xiu felt relieved when she saw her husband smile:
"I'm serious. We've been married for six years. Ever since we got married, grandma has said that this is a family made up of bricks and tiles. Now I understand what she meant. Anyway, the kids and I can only rely on you at home. If not for yourself, you should at least think about the two children."
After a while, he lowered his voice again: "Besides, if one day I have nowhere to go, I will rely on you to lead the way..."
Qin Wenli paused after hearing this, patted his wife on the shoulder and said, "Don't think too much, go to bed early."
"You go to sleep first. I'll finish sewing the remaining half. Mom is waiting to wear it..."
Qin Wenli stopped trying to persuade him after hearing this and silently picked up the book to read.
…
That day, Yang Xiu got up and packed before dawn. Today she was going to grind flour with Qin Wenli. There is no mill in Xiaogou Village, so you can only go to the neighboring Shanghe Village.
After getting herself ready and leaving her two children in the care of the old lady, she hurried out.
The wheat in the pot that had been soaked overnight was just the right moisture.
The two men skillfully packed, tied and loaded the goods into the truck.
As soon as I walked out of the yard with Maizi, I saw Hu Yufeng standing in the aisle.
Seeing them coming, Hu Yufeng held out her hand to hold the cart, "Come on, I'll go with you and grind some sticky rice while I'm at it."
The two men then noticed that there was a half-filled bag behind Hu Yufeng, so they just thought it was a spur-of-the-moment decision. Yang Xiu said that Hu Yufeng didn't need to go, they could just find someone to help.
In the past, Hu Yufeng would have let go without a second thought, but today, she went against her usual behavior and wanted to go.
Seeing that she was determined to leave, the two of them stopped trying to persuade her. If you want to go, go ahead. You were upset yesterday, so it’s time to go out and relax.
…
But Hu Yufeng followed them not on a whim, but deliberately did so after sorting out her dream.
In the dream, when Qin Wenli and his wife were grinding the mill, Yang Xiu's lower back was hit hard by a rolling piece of earth. The villagers who helped rescue Yang Xiu did not know any first aid knowledge and pulled him hard during the process, causing damage to Yang Xiu's lumbar nerves and eventually high-level paralysis.
The 26-year-old has been confined to a wheelchair for the rest of her life. And this was also the root cause of her miserable second half of life.
Even if not for this family, but just for herself, she must go and see if it is really her destiny.
…
Shanghe Village is three kilometers away from Xiaogou Village, and it takes about twenty minutes to walk there.
Along the way, Qin Wenli held the shaft of the cart in front and Yang Xiu pushed the cart from behind.
Hu Yufeng stood with her hands behind her back, always paying attention to any movement around her.
The sky gradually became brighter and they successfully reached the last downhill slope. Yang Xiusong let go of his hands and looked up to wipe the sweat off his face.
Hu Yufeng did not dare to slack off at all. It was precisely because she was highly concentrated and was walking behind Yang Xiu that she heard the "crack, crack" sound of the soil cracking when she passed a cliff.
"Xiu'er, run, get out of the way..."
The top of the earth cliff collapsed with a loud bang, and clods of earth of all sizes instantly broke apart and rolled down the slope. Hu Yufeng was so frightened that her face turned pale and she shouted at the top of her voice.
Yang Xiu didn't understand what was going on. She was startled by her mother-in-law's shout at first, and then she heard a loud bang of something falling to the ground behind her. She didn't even bother to look back and just ran forward as fast as she could.
Qin Wenli had just stopped the car at the bottom of the slope when he was startled by the sound and his heart started beating wildly. He turned around and saw a big clod of earth chasing his wife, and the speed was so fast that it made his eyes burst.
"Run inside, Xiu'er, run inside..."
Hu Yufeng screamed heartbreakingly. There is a small bend in front of Yang Xiu, if he hides inside it, he will be saved.
Yang Xiu had no idea what was going on behind her at the moment. She was completely at a loss. Upon hearing her mother-in-law's instructions, she turned to the inside of the road. Just as she stood against the wall, she saw a clod of earth with a diameter of half a meter rolling past her feet and hitting a poplar tree as thick as a human leg, causing the tree to shake a few times. Yang Xiu was so frightened when she saw this that she broke out in a cold sweat. She was almost knocked away.
Qin Wenli was originally running up the slope, but when he saw that his eldest daughter-in-law had already dodged, he tried to hold back his legs and feet from weakening.
"Mom, don't come down yet. Wait and see if there is another landslide there." Qin Wenli saw his mother walking down and hurriedly stopped her.
Hu Yufeng's heart was pounding and her mind was blank. Qin Wenli called her twice before she reacted. I waited there for a while and saw that the earth wall was motionless.
Qin Wenli then walked about ten feet away to take a look, "It should be that piece that is loose. It's okay. Mom, you can come down now."
After the three of them reunited, Qin Wenli supported one of them in each hand and walked away quickly.
…
After a long while, Hu Yufeng suddenly seemed to react. She held Yang Xiu's arm tightly with one hand and looked her up and down. "Xiu'er, are you okay? Did the big piece of soil rub against you?..."
After surviving the disaster, Yang Xiu collapsed on the ground and let her mother-in-law grab her. With red eyes, she said, "I'm fine. I just passed by by rubbing my instep."
"Mom, just sit down and rest for a while..." Qin Wenli said with lingering fear.
When Hu Yufeng heard Yang Xiu say in person that everything was fine, her legs instantly lost strength and she fell to the ground.
The three of them were shocked and tired, gasping for breath, and it took them a long time to recover.
Yang Xiu looked at her mother-in-law with tears in her eyes and said in a trembling voice: "Mom, it's all thanks to you just now. If you hadn't told me to run quickly, I would have been in great danger..."
"Pah, pah, pah... Don't say that this is unlucky." Hu Yufeng finally had the energy to glare at her.
"Mom. Thanks for following us. If you hadn't discovered it in time from behind, we wouldn't know anything at the front and the consequences would be disastrous. Thank you, Mom." Qin Wenli had never thanked his mother as sincerely as he did today.
He saw how dangerous the situation was just now. If he was hit, he would either die or be injured.
Hu Yufeng looked at the grateful eyes of her son and daughter-in-law and said nothing more.
After resting for a while, he felt that his strength had been mostly restored, so he stood up and said, "Let's go. If we're late, we'll have to queue up."
Qin Wenli and his wife hurriedly got up and continued on their way.
Hu Yufeng followed from a distance, but her heart was filled with turmoil.
…
If she was still skeptical about the dream a few days ago, after what happened just now, she now believed it without a doubt.
That dream is a prophecy, and the situations in the dream will really happen. I just don't know how she got the chance to meet this wonderful person.
Thinking of the events in her dream, including the deaths and injuries of her family members, she felt heavy in her heart.
The sun rose high, and the warm sunlight shone on the young couple in front, as if they were coated with a layer of light glow.
In the dream, the disabled and thin Yang Xiu and the steady-stepping Yang Xiu in front gradually overlapped.
She couldn't help but let out a long breath.
Since she had dreamed about it, it can be changed, right?
