After they finished eating, they took their food home, eager to cook something for Liu Maocai and his son.
If she's hungry and angry, won't she get sick? This Liu Daya is really something else, really good at causing trouble. Such an oddball is truly rare.
Let's make pancakes instead; they're quick, delicious, and filling. I made ten large pancakes, stir-fried a small bowl of shredded potatoes, and then took them to Liu Maocai's house.
He told the children who came to learn to read that he didn't have time today and that he would talk to them tomorrow.
The children didn't ask any more questions and ran off to play in twos and threes.
The father and son hadn't returned yet, and Li Cuihua lay on the kang (a heated brick bed) crying. She had no choice but to help the two younger children tidy up the house.
It was a complete mess. Especially the old couple's house; they were probably looking for money. Luckily, she didn't find anything. That's a heartless ingrate; you can't raise a child to be ungrateful.
He would take his two young children to the yard to learn to read. He would also occasionally go into the house to check on Li Cuihua.
It was already 3 PM when Liu Maocai and his son finally returned. Looking at their exhausted faces, did they fail to find the person?
Zhang Hongmei didn't ask any questions and put the food on the table for them to eat first.
Li Cuihua got off the ground and sat down next to Liu Maocai. "Husband, we haven't found her. Where could she have gone?"
Liu Maocai ignored Li Cuihua during the meal, finding it too difficult to speak, and Er Ya was even less likely to say anything.
Li Cuihua was very anxious, but she didn't want to interrupt her husband and daughter who were just eating, so she sat aside and waited.
After Liu Maocai finished eating, he lit his pipe and started puffing on his pipe.
“That beast ran off with a man. Some people in the village saw them leave in a car. I heard that this man came to the village the night before last. I think he came in the same car as us.”
Where did she meet this man?
How would I know that?
"Just pretend I never had her, that's fine. Even if she comes back, I'll beat her to death."
Zhang Hongmei was also puzzled. Where did Liu Daya meet this man? She only went to the city once, and she was still with her parents. How did they get together?
I really underestimated her; she's a real talent.
Li Cuihua burst into tears, hating her daughter for being so disappointing, hating herself for not disciplining her properly when she was young, and hating her mother-in-law for instigating her.
"You've won. Stop crying. You still have three children to raise. Are you planning to abandon them?"
Er Ya supported her mother, saying, "Mom, don't cry, or you'll feel upset again."
"Mommy, you can't abandon us!" The two little ones clung to Li Cuihua's legs and cried along.
Zhang Hongmei really didn't know how to persuade her; this was flesh and blood of hers, and no matter how much she hated it, she couldn't bear to part with it.
Li Cuihua knew this all too well. She wasn't in good health and didn't want to become a burden on her family.
She slowly stopped crying and drank the water Er Ya brought her. "I'm not crying anymore, don't worry, I'm fine."
Seeing that there was nothing else for her to do, Zhang Hongmei went home, while Er Ya and her two sisters stayed with Li Cuihua, worried that their mother might do something rash.
As for Liu Daya, ever since that man in the city persuaded her, she has been thinking about him with all her heart.
Unexpectedly, he followed her to the station and secretly told her that if she didn't want to stay in the countryside, he could take her out.
I was a little dazed when I followed my parents onto the bus, and I never expected him to follow me. My heart was pounding; I felt a mix of excitement, joy, and heartache.
She believed he was the person in the world who cared about her the most, and that he had risked his life to come and save her from her suffering.
After getting off the bus, he secretly followed her, saying that he had been waiting for her in the village until she appeared and he would take her away.
Daya had never heard a man's sweet words before, not even a single sentence that would make her believe in him wholeheartedly and follow him.
Even though my parents ignored me when I got home, what did it matter? I was determined to make something of myself and make them regret it.
She tossed and turned all night without sleeping, and finally decided to go with him. Although she didn't know his name, she believed in him and believed that he could make her a city dweller, give her a good life, and make her a happy woman.
So I need to prepare myself. I can't leave empty-handed. What's meant to be mine will be mine.
But there are always people at home, so I can't do anything about it, and I don't know where the family's money is.
I'm really worried; I'm unwilling to just leave like this.
Heaven is on my side; they've gone to the market, leaving me alone at home. What a wonderful opportunity!
But I don't have a secret stash of money, and I don't even know where the money in my house is. But there must be a lot of money, so I can't just leave empty-handed.
I've searched every place I know but I still can't find it. It's been too long, and if I don't leave soon, I won't be able to leave at all.
Finally, I gritted my teeth and went to the warehouse to carry away the remaining half-bag of flour from home. Since I couldn't find any money, I figured I'd just use half a bag of flour as payment, and I even felt like I was losing out.
He hurriedly left the village, afraid that his parents would catch up with him and he wouldn't be able to leave.
After jogging all the way, they finally arrived in the village, but where could they find the man?
Just as Daya was at a loss, the man appeared.
Just then, a bus arrived, and the man pulled her onto it.
The two sat together, hand in hand. Da Ya blushed, her palms sweating. But inside, she felt incredibly excited and relaxed, a feeling she had never experienced before.
I'm finally free from this sea of suffering, and I'm about to be happy.
The man let go of her hand to buy a ticket. He saw her take out a piece of paper, but he didn't hear what she said to the ticket seller. He only saw her pointing at herself and showing it to the ticket seller.
The man took out his money, returned with the ticket, and grabbed his own hand again.
Time seems to be moving too slowly. I long to leave this place immediately and start a new life somewhere where no one knows me.
Finally arriving in the city, the man immediately dragged her to the train station to buy tickets for a place she had never heard of before.
It was my first time taking a train, and I looked out the window with great curiosity. I also ate a stir-fry dish for the first time that I couldn't name.
The next day, I cautiously asked him his name and learned that it was Zhou Wenxuan. What a beautiful name, it suits him perfectly, so refined and gentle.
On the train, he was incredibly attentive and patient with me. I felt like a princess in a play. At night, I would lean on his shoulder to sleep, and during the day, we would chat.
When I asked him about his family situation, he smiled mysteriously and told me I would find out when I got there.
On the tenth day, she finally couldn't hold on any longer and asked him when they would arrive. He told her that he would get off the bus in the afternoon.
But after getting off the train, we boarded another train, which took another long ten days. In the end, we still hadn't arrived, so we had to transfer to another train.
I'm getting increasingly anxious and restless. Where am I going? Why do they always say we'll know when we get there?
