Chapter 123 Liu Mei's Mystery
Song Lubai knew what kind of person her grandmother was.
Seeing the old woman with bound feet angrily cursing the Chen family and Li Guangming's grandmother, Song Lubai didn't feel there was anything wrong with the dream.
Because her grandmother was that kind of person.
She wanted to rush forward and pull the two annoying old ladies apart and drive them away.
But when she realized that she could only stand there and watch and couldn't do anything, she slowly began to realize that she might be dreaming.
She looked around and saw Liu Mei peeking out from the corner of the alley.
What's Liu Mei doing here?
Liu Mei and Lin Shuhong's home in the county town is quite far from her aunt's house. Why would Liu Mei come here to watch the excitement?
So, she also played a part in today's excitement?
It seems her previous suspicions were correct!
“I have already submitted my marriage application. If you continue to cause trouble here, you are disrupting military marriages and violating the law.”
Chen Weiliang, who has a refined appearance, looked serious at this moment, exuding a certain "official authority".
But these two old ladies were masters of arguing and wouldn't listen to him at all.
The two old ladies, Mrs. Song and Mrs. Li, started arguing and then began to fight. Chen Weiliang saw that the two were becoming increasingly outrageous and tried to separate them. However, the two old ladies united against him and pushed Chen Weiliang against the wall.
Song Lubai heard a "thud" as Chen Weiliang's body slowly fell from the wall, the blood flowing from the back of his head leaving a long mark on the wall.
The two old ladies then panicked.
Song Lubai's grandmother looked around in a panic, and to Song Lubai's disbelief, her grandmother ran away on her small feet.
Is this really just a dream?
Her grandmother's behavior is very much in line with her grandmother's character.
When Li Guangming's grandmother saw that her opponent had run away, she glanced at Chen Weiliang and, in a fright, ran away as well.
Chen Weiliang's aunt's family and Chen Weiliang's family rushed him to the hospital.
Song Lubai felt that she no longer needed to see the result with her own eyes.
Her previous dreams had already told her that all three of her fiancés were dead.
Floating in mid-air, Song Lubai watched as Liu Mei excitedly turned onto another path, her back view exuding smugness.
She wanted to follow Liu Mei to find out what was going on, but the scene in her dream kept blurring, and she finally woke up covered in sweat.
Song Lubai sat up and wiped her sweat.
On the kang (heated brick bed), the roommates were fast asleep, their breathing varying in volume.
Song Lubai left her hometown and the main area of Lin Jinyao's activities in the book, thinking she would never have that kind of dream again.
She had just met Chen Weiliang during the day, her second fiancé in her dreams, and that night she dreamed of his death.
She now realizes that her dream was not a baseless dream, because her grandmother's behavior in the dream perfectly matched her perception of her grandmother.
So why would I hastily marry a widower with a child when I'm thirty and still unmarried?
She couldn't accept that.
She clutched the blanket, repeatedly muttering Liu Mei's name.
What grudge does Liu Mei have against her that she keeps stabbing her in the back?
She wanted to see Liu Mei and ask her in person, even if this Liu Mei wasn't the Liu Mei from her dreams.
Li Guangming and Chen Weiliang have already appeared in her life. Now that she has arrived at the border, will her third fiancé appear?
Now that fate has given her another wake-up call, she will definitely keep her distance from Chen Weiliang and will not have a relationship that goes beyond ordinary friendship.
The situation is completely different now than in the dream; Chen Weiliang will no longer be accidentally pushed to his death by those two immoral old women.
The next morning, the whistle to signal the start of work rang out again.
The people in the camp emerged from their rooms, still half asleep, and, as usual, took their bread and farm tools to work.
Seeing that the escaped men hadn't come out yet, the company commander grabbed a stick and went to knock on the door.
The group didn't leave; after being caught red-handed in the middle of the night, they all went back to lie down and sleep.
"Aren't you getting up and going to work? What do you all want to do?"
The people inside muttered, "We're not from your company, why are you bothering with us?"
The company commander banged on the door with a stick: "Whose house are you living in? Are you going to eat today or not? If you're not going to eat, get out of here right now. Go wherever you want. We can't control you. Just wait for the militia to catch you all."
What can be done about this group of people?
You can't run far, and if you don't work, you won't eat.
They could only reluctantly accept the bread, pick up their farm tools, and head to the fields.
After everyone was driven into the fields, the company commander and political instructor felt much better.
This is great! They not only want grain, but they also want these people to work for them.
Only after making comparisons did they realize that the work they did before was relatively easy.
Song Lubai sat under the shed eating dry biscuits, looking at Lin Jinyao, whose face was noticeably darker and thinner.
Lin Jinyao squatted to the side like a soulless wooden figure, blankly munching on a pancake.
Song Lubai felt that Lin Jinyao was no longer the lovable little girl in the book; now she was just a pitiful little cabbage in the field.
Seeing that Wang Haiquan had specially changed into a clean and presentable outfit, Song Lubai stepped forward and asked, "Director, are you going to the city?"
Wang Haiquan nodded: "Everything's alright here. I need to go back for a month or so. You look after our brothers and sisters."
Song Lubai hurriedly asked, "If I want to go to the Second Branch Farm, where do I catch a bus? Can I get there in one day?"
Wang Haiquan glanced at Lin Jinyao, who was standing next to Song Lubai, and asked, "Are you going to send her away?"
Song Lubai nodded: "Her parents are both at the Second Branch Farm, I have to take her back."
These past few days, Song Lubai has shared half of her food with Lin Jinyao. At night, Song Lubai is so hungry that she can hardly sleep. If this continues, she simply can't take it anymore.
Wang Haiquan looked at the instructor and said, "How about we let her take the child and come with me to Shicheng today? The Shicheng Transportation Office has buses to the Second Branch Farm every day, but they might not be back tonight. Could you give her a letter of introduction? It will be convenient for her to stay at the guesthouse there."
Song Lu looked at the two leaders with expectant eyes.
The two leaders didn't make things difficult for her and readily agreed.
Song Lubai hurriedly went back to the dormitory to change her clothes, and then instructed Liu Xiaolan to go to the fields every afternoon to record the labor situation and rewrite the blackboard newspaper, etc., before getting on the back of Director Wang's bicycle.
Lin Jinyao was riding on the front of the old-fashioned bicycle, and Song Lubai was sitting on the back. Although the road was uneven, it was not a problem for the sturdy and durable old-fashioned bicycle, which could carry four or five hundred pounds of goods.
Upon arriving at the headquarters, Wang Haiquan parked his bicycle in the courtyard of the Armed Forces Department.
This bicycle belongs to the collective property of the 25th Company. People from the company can go to the Armed Forces Department to take the bicycle back when they come.
Song Lubai happened to run into Xiao Liu, who looked familiar, at the door. After greeting him, she said, "Please tell Comrade Wei that I sent the person away myself. There's no need for him to go to the company to help me. Please thank him for his kindness."
