Chapter 153 The World Is Not Worth It
The woman lowered her head, bit her lip, tremblingly took off her purse and handed it to him.
He weighed the purse, emptied out all the money inside, and threw the cloth bag in the woman's face, "You worked hard for several days, and you only earned this little?"
"Business hasn't been very good these days, the price of meat has gone up, and the price of firewood has also gone up a bit..." the woman argued in a low voice.
"How can you say that business is bad? I see that the seats are full." The strong man glared at the woman and said, "I think you want to cheat me."
"I didn't..." the woman explained hurriedly.
"How dare you talk back!" The sturdy man raised his hand and hit the woman.
The woman shrank her neck and closed her eyes.
After the slaps from the strong man, the tears on the woman's face flowed down like a flood.
"Don't hit my mother!" The girl threw herself on the strong man, trying to stop him.
"You little bastard!" The sturdy man grabbed the girl by the collar and threw her aside like a chick.
There were fires and pots everywhere on the red oil wonton stall. The girl was struggling again and was about to touch the scalding edge of the pot.
Jiang Mixia was the closest, and she quickly reached out and grabbed a handful of the girl, pulling her over.
The girl was so frightened that she started crying loudly.
"You little bastard, you're crying like a funeral lord! I'm not dead yet!" The strong man was a little impatient, "Just like your bitch mother, you cry all day long, but who are you crying for? Are you hoping that some wild man will come and feel sorry for you?"
The woman was also very frightened just now, but now she came to her senses, hugged the girl in her arms, and sobbed.
This farce caused people around to stop and watch.
The people at the red oil wonton stall were fine, but there were also people eating cold noodles and some standing with their bowls in hand and watching.
Whispering.
The sturdy man was obviously a little embarrassed, his fists were clenched, and the veins on his forehead were jumping. "Unlucky star! I am so unlucky to marry such a thing. It's bad luck to look at it for even a second!"
The strong man pointed at the woman's nose and cursed her all over. It seemed that he felt relieved. He spat on the ground and then left with the money he got from the woman.
Because of the arrival of the burly man, the originally peaceful and harmonious red oil wonton stall became messy, and the atmosphere was quite subtle and strange.
Those who had been eating the wontons slowly, quickly wolfed down the dumplings in their bowls, paid and left in a hurry, while some of the people around who were watching the fun refused to leave.
"Ah, this Yun Niang is really pitiful."
"That's right. With such a man, Xue Da is really a piece of shit. He's idle outside, drinking and gambling, and then he comes home and bullies his wife."
"Others felt sorry for Yunniang and took care of her business, but Xue Da said that Yunniang was unfaithful to her husband and beat and scolded her. I heard that she didn't even have a piece of healthy skin on her body."
"What's the point of having a man like this? Why don't you take the child back to your mother's house and hide there?"
"How can I hide? A married girl is like spilled water. Her parents may not support her..."
Jiang Mixia listened to the gossip and roughly understood the situation of this family.
A useless man who commits domestic violence VS a woman who endures it in silence.
It's just a pity for the child.
Jiang Mixia looked at the girl crying breathlessly, and recalled the little tricks she had used to attract customers. She felt a little sorry for her and handed the handkerchief to her, "Hurry up and wipe the child's face. The wind is strong in spring, and tears will easily cause chapped skin."
"I'm sorry to have embarrassed you." Yun Niang wiped the tears from her face with her sleeve, took the Jiangmi summer handkerchief, and wiped the girl in her arms clean.
The little girl stretched out her hand and wiped the tears from Yunniang's face.
The child was so sensible that Yunniang's heart tightened and her tears flowed more and more.
Jiang Mixia suddenly felt uncomfortable.
By the time Jiang Mixia finished eating the red oil dumplings, there was no one else at the stall. When Jiang Mixia paid, she put a silver coin under the bowl.
She couldn't interfere in other people's family affairs, and all she could do was give some money to calm her sympathetic heart.
Because of this incident, Jiang Mixia felt a little depressed the whole afternoon. She did not go out for a stroll, but just sorted out the things she had bought these days.
I had a simple dinner at the inn and went to bed early.
It was hard to tell whether Jiang Mixia was worried about whether Song Jingyun could eat enough and sleep well in the examination room, or because she was not used to Song Jingyun's absence. She tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep for a long time.
In the end, I simply sat up and took a book to read by candlelight.
This can be said to be the ultimate secret to falling asleep! And this method is obviously very effective. After a cup of tea, Jiang Mixia closed her eyes.
However, when Jiang Mixia woke up the next morning, there was a faint layer of dark circles under her eyes.
There's really nothing we can do about it.
Although she didn't sleep late last night, she was dreaming the whole night. The content of the dream was that she returned to high school and took the monthly exam. As a result, she couldn't answer a single question on the entire test paper...
The world is not worth it.
A morning began with Jiang Mixia's long sighs.
After eating some light porridge and some side dishes, she took a nap. When the sun got higher, Jiang Mixia went out for a walk to cheer herself up.
When passing by the alley where they had eaten red oil wonton yesterday, Jiang Mixia was hesitating whether to go in or not, when she saw Yunniang walking out quickly and stuffing silver into Jiang Mixia's hand, "This is what you left behind yesterday, I've been looking for you for a long time, come and take it."
He is not greedy for money.
Jiang Mixia's heart was touched, and she pushed her hand, "This is an extra gift from me, take it."
Yunniang obviously didn't expect that such a large piece of silver was specially given to her by Jiang Mixia. She was stunned for a moment, and after a moment she shook her head repeatedly, "This is too much, I can't accept it, I..."
"Life is still manageable..." Yunniang said softly, "Business is okay, and we can still have enough to eat."
"I know it's enough to have enough food, but it's not enough to settle down." Jiang Mixia didn't say anything and stuffed the silver back into Yun Niang's hands, "Take it, even if it's for the child."
Finally, she added, "After all, for a child, she will think that she should be the same as her mother is."
Yunniang was stunned again.
The child will think that the mother should be like this...
Then, would Liu Ya follow suit and think that she should also be beaten and scolded every day and continue her current life? Yun Niang shuddered, and when she looked up again, Jiang Mixia was no longer there.
Even for the sake of the children...
Yunniang bit her lip. Jiang Mixia felt that she had been in a daze for four days. Finally, in the evening of that day, when the examination room opened, she saw Song Jingyun again.
I have a cold, stuffy nose, sneezing...
