Chapter 45 Please, Save Me
Yun Ange received Qin Lingnian's letter one day late.
The content of the letter was very simple. In addition to greetings, it told me that the report to accompany the army had been approved, and asked me to wait for his telegram to inform me when to leave for the army.
Finally, he gave her a few more words of advice, asking her to be cautious in everything and to call him if she encountered any problems that she couldn't solve.
"Sister-in-law, you can go to the army to find my brother. Aren't you happy?!"
Qin Mingyue was happy for Yun Angge from the bottom of her heart, but she felt a little lost and sad when she thought about parting with her.
During these ten days or so, her sister-in-law became very gentle and treated her very well, and she really liked her.
Not only did he treat her as his sister-in-law, but he also treated her as his own sister.
She wanted her sister-in-law to live with her brother, but she couldn't bear to leave her sister-in-law.
Alas, she wants to cry even before the day has passed.
Yun Angge noticed that something was wrong with Qin Mingyue, and touched her head with care and affection. He turned to look at Qin's mother who was smiling, "Mom, how about I tell Lingnian that you and Mingyue can go to the army with me later? This way, our family can live together, take care of each other, and no longer worry about each other every day."
Seeing Yun Angge's thoughts, Mother Qin was very pleased and moved.
Now, her daughter-in-law really doesn't treat her as an outsider.
In fact, on the night before Lingnian left, 껩 told her about this and wanted her and Mingyue to go with him to join the army, but she thought about it again and again and refused.
Therefore, Qin's mother refused without thinking, "Mingyue and I should stay at home. The army is not like our village where we can go to the fields to earn money.
It is not possible for our whole family to rely on him for support. After all, his allowance is limited, and food and clothing in the army cost money. Not to mention anything else, our family's food rations alone cost a lot of money a year.
If Mingyue and I were at home, we could earn enough food for ourselves by working in the fields. I will not be a burden to you now while I am still young and unable to move. I will be a burden to you when I am old and unable to work. ”
While speaking, Mother Qin looked at Yun Angge's belly inconspicuously, with a hint of disappointment in her eyes.
Ange's period came this morning, but she is not pregnant.
However, she is still young, and once she is in the army and with his father every day, she will soon be able to hold her grandson.
After Qin's mother said so, Yun Ange did not continue to persuade her.
Her concerns were reasonable. If the whole family went to the army, relying only on Qin Lingnian's allowance, their life would definitely be a bit tight.
But after she leaves the army, she will see if she can find a job, even if it's a temporary job that's a bit hard and tiring, at least she can earn some money to supplement the family income, and then bring her mother-in-law and sister-in-law over.
Moreover, even though her mother-in-law's expression was rather obscure just now, she was aware of it. She was looking at her belly thoughtfully, and there seemed to be a flash of disappointment in her eyes...
This morning she had her period, and she took the unique menstrual pad of this era to the toilet, and was caught by her mother-in-law. She should know that she was a little disappointed that she was not pregnant.
Since she was going to live a good life with Qin Lingnian, she would definitely have a baby, so she would not use contraception. However, this matter was not something she could decide, so she had to let nature take its course.
When she gets pregnant and has a baby, she will definitely ask her mother-in-law to help her take care of the baby...
"Qin Dafu...you beast...I will fight you..."
At this moment, a creepy and shrill roar came from outside, which frightened the sparrows on the tree and made them fly away quickly. Yun Angge and her two daughters were frightened and ran outside instinctively.
By the time they ran to the gate, quite a few people had already run to Qin Wanliang's door upon hearing the noise, and many adults and children were rushing over from the opposite direction.
But Yun Angge, Qin's mother, and Qin Mingyue did not go over. They just stood at the gate of their own yard and looked around.
However, the door of Qin Wanliang's house was suddenly locked from the inside and bolted. The people outside could not get in, but they all pricked up their ears to eavesdrop on the movements in the yard.
I don't know what happened. I only heard intermittently that Qin Dafu's wife, Sun Lingzhi, cried in pain and despair, mixed with hysterical roars...
"... beast... devil... that's your own daughter... how could you..."
At this moment, the roar stopped abruptly, and suppressed whimpering could be faintly heard, as if Sun Lingzhi's mouth was covered.
"What's going on?"
"It sounds like the voice of a wealthy wife. Did the couple have a fight?"
"The rich wife has a very good temper, as soft as dough, why is she so angry this time..."
After a long time, there was no more roar from Sun Lingzhi, and even the crying stopped. Everyone lost interest in eating melons and left one after another.
However, an hour later, the door of Qin Wanliang's house opened.
Qin Wanliang's eldest daughter-in-law Yang Qiuhua hurried out, and several women who were still waiting to eat melons hurried over to ask her for news.
Yang Qiuhua sighed several times and said helplessly: "The Dafu couple had a fight and scared Niuniu. She jumped off the bed... her head was bloody... she died..."
The women who were trying to get the news were so shocked that they didn't respond for a long time. When they came to their senses, Yang Qiuhua had already run away in a hurry.
She said she would go to the brigade supply and marketing cooperative to buy a few feet of cloth to make clothes for poor Niu Niu.
"Why is this rich man so childless?!" After Yang Qiuhua walked away, an auntie whispered: "The previous daughter-in-law was about to give birth, but she got up in the middle of the night and fell in the toilet, and the adult and the child were gone... This daughter-in-law gave birth to a daughter, but she was not even two years old and she died..."
"Ah, who said no... Such a poor child..."
Ten minutes later, the whole Daqin Village heard that Qin Dafu and his wife had a fight and scared their daughter to death.
Yun Ange and Qin Mingyue went out to fetch water and heard the news.
However, Yun Angge was as surprised and felt sorry for Niu Niu as everyone else. After thinking about it for a while, he felt that Niu Niu's death was very strange.
Moreover, the behavior of Qin Wanliang's family is very suspicious.
But Yun Ange was only suspicious in her heart. After all, she didn't know that the police didn't need to come to solve the case.
Seeing that Sun Lingzhi has not said anything now, she must be overthinking...
Niu Niu was buried that afternoon.
But Yun Angge, Qin's mother, and Qin Mingyue did not go out to watch the fun. Instead, they closed the door and talked about Sun Lingzhi and Niuniu. Yun Angge was fine, but Qin's mother and Qin Mingyue were soft-hearted and shed many tears for the poor mother and daughter.
That day, after lunch, Yun Ange and Qin's mother Qin Mingyue went to the woods to collect firewood.
Halfway through the journey, I ran into Sun Lingzhi.
She knelt in front of Niuniu's grave, seemingly not crying, but just quietly folding paper boats.
Niuniu had died 4 days ago. Except for the day when Sun Lingzhi did not show up for her burial, she had been staying in front of Niuniu's grave from dawn to dusk for the past three days, refusing to eat, drink or cry, and just folding paper boats non-stop.
When she had folded all the paper she wanted, she would take it apart and fold it again.
Two days ago, Qin Dagui's wife Xie Yaoqin accompanied her, but later she became more and more crazy and refused to eat or drink or go home no matter how much she was persuaded. Xie Yaoqin, who was already pregnant, could not bear it and stopped accompanying her.
Even though they could only see Sun Lingzhi's profile, Yun Angge and the others could tell that she was so thin that she looked unrecognizable, with sunken eye sockets, dark circles under her eyes, and a frighteningly pale face.
It’s so heartbreaking to watch.
According to the rules in the village, unmarried people who died young could not be buried in the ancestral tomb, let alone children who died at a young age, who were usually buried on the edge of the ancestral tomb or on the edge of the private plot.
Niuniu was buried next to Qin Wanliang's private plot, not far from a large forest.
Looking at the raised little grave and thinking of the cute little girl, Yun Angge felt a little sad.
Oh, if I have an afterlife, I hope Niuniu can be born into a good family.
Seeing Sun Lingzhi like this, Qin's mother's eyes turned red, and she came over to comfort her, but she turned her head suddenly when she heard footsteps, and when she looked at Yun Angge, her eyes without any emotion seemed to ignite a spark...
She tightly grasped the half-folded paper boat in her hand, climbed up from the ground, staggered to Yun Angge, grabbed her arm, and knelt down with a plop, "Please...save me..."
