The next day, the news that Wang Chunmei had hanged herself in her yard spread widely in Panshi Village.
"Wang Chunmei...hanged..."
Shen Zhihuan spat out a mouthful of wild vegetable soup.
Are all women of this era so willful?
He hanged himself if he had a disagreement.
"Sister Huan, don't be afraid. My grandfather said that old woman Wang Chunmei is not dead, her leg is just broken." Xiaopang ran to Shen Zhihuan. The little boy stroked Shen Zhihuan's back to help her calm down.
"Broken leg?" Shen Zhihuan looked at the fat boy suspiciously, seriously suspecting that the fat boy had misheard.
Li Qiuhua also looked stunned.
How can a hanging cause a broken leg? "Yeah!" Xiaopang nodded heavily.
"I heard from my aunt and my mother that old woman Wang Chunmei took a belt and tied it to the crooked tree in her house. As soon as she hung it up, the belt broke and she fell down."
Shen Zhihuan: “…”
Belt...hanging? Wang Chunmei was the one who came up with this idea.
"My grandfather said that old woman Wang Chunmei fell quite hard and she won't be able to get out of bed unless she stays in bed for two or three months." Xiaopang said as he gestured.
Breakfast ended with Xiaopang’s vivid gestures.
After sending Xiao Weidong and Xiaopang away, Shen Zhihuan looked at Li Qiuhua who was cleaning up the dishes and said, "Mom, I want to go to town."
"Going to town? What are you going to do in town? The sun is so hot." Li Qiuhua frowned.
"I want to borrow a book from my junior high school classmate." Shen Zhihuan smiled apologetically.
I've been thinking hard for the whole morning, and this is the only excuse that seems reliable.
Li Qiuhua thought for a moment and said, "You've just gotten better. Why don't you take good care of yourself for a few days and rest. Dongzi and I will go with you."
Panshi Village is located in a remote area. It takes more than half an hour to walk to the town to attend the market without stopping. The sun is strong and my daughter is so weak that she cannot bear it.
“…”
"mother……"
“…”
"mother……"
"It seems that your Uncle Wang is going to the town to pick up goods today. I'll go ask him when he is leaving." Faced with Shen Zhihuan's soft and hard nagging, Li Qiuhua sighed lightly and finally gave in.
"Thank you, mother." Shen Zhihuan happily kissed Li Qiuhua on the face.
"This girl is becoming more and more unruly as she grows older..." Li Qiuhua said with a smile.
Before, she was a little worried that her daughter would be depressed after breaking off the engagement, but now it seems that she was overthinking it.
Fearing that Wang Baotian had left and her daughter would not be able to catch a ride, Li Qiuhua did not even bother to clean up the dishes. She took off her apron and ran straight to Wang's house not far away.
After watching Li Qiuhua leave the courtyard, Shen Zhihuan tied on an apron and cleaned up the dishes neatly.
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
When Li Qiuhua came back, Shen Zhihuan had already put on his backpack and was ready to go out.
Seeing this, Li Qiuhua hurriedly called Shen Zhihuan. After a while, Li Qiuhua came back and stuffed two fifty-cent bills and a grain coupon into Shen Zhihuan's hands.
"If you're hungry, just buy something to eat. Don't ruin your health just because you feel bad about the money."
"Mom, I know." Shen Zhihuan nodded slightly and put the Mao and grain coupons into his pocket.
When she woke up in the morning, she threw the one yuan and sixty-eight cents that the original owner had saved into the resort. She was poor at home but rich on the road. It was her first time to go to the county town, so it was always good to have more money in hand.
"I haven't seen my classmates for a long time, so maybe we need to play for a while longer."
Before leaving, Shen Zhihuan gave Li Qiuhua a heads-up in advance to prevent her from worrying if he came back late.
