Zhao Bin and his wife Shen Ximei both have their own distinct characteristics. Zhao Bin is calm and conservative, has his own style of doing things, and is not moved by anyone. On the other hand, his wife Shen Ximei is passionate, nothing but passion, and sometimes her passion can be fatal.
Just like today, she cooked her specialty - sweet and sour pork intestines, and enthusiastically asked Tao Xiaoxi to try it.
Fat intestines are Tao Xiaoxi's Achilles' heel. She doesn't eat much of fat intestines, especially the sweet and sour ones. She gets goose bumps all over her body.
"Don't be polite, Xiaoxi, try it quickly. You and our Zhao Bin are old friends, so don't be polite." Shen Ximei is from the south and her ancestral home is Hai City. If you only listen to the voice, you will definitely think that the woman who is speaking is a petite and gentle, gentle, shy and introverted woman, but as soon as you get in touch with her, you will know that her voice is from the wrong place.
Shen Ximei is so enthusiastic that she wants to invite the person she meets for the first time to her home for dinner and overnight, and she can tell you everything about her three generations of ancestors in detail.
Tao Xiaoxi didn't know why Zhao Bin would marry her. It wasn't that she was bad, but they were just not a good match. She didn't seem like the type Zhao Bin could handle. How could Zhao Bin, such a conservative man, accept sweet and sour pork intestines and steamed eggs with duck pears?
But the two of them did live a sweet and harmonious life. Even in front of Tao Xiaoxi, an outsider, they did not hide it at all. The pig intestines were delivered to Zhao Bin's mouth, and Zhao Bin enjoyed it very much.
Tao Xiaoxi may not be full after eating, but watching the two of them interact, she feels full!
Fortunately, Shen Ximei's staple food was rice, and Tao Xiaoxi ate a bowl of rice.
"Have another bowl." Shen Ximei was afraid that Tao Xiaoxi was not full.
"I'm full, I'm full." Tao Xiaoxi hurriedly protected the bowl in her hand.
"Look how thin you are. The clouds in the sky can carry you away. Eat more. This bacon and salted fish stewed with bacon is a new dish I made today. Why don't you eat it?" Shen Ximei was concerned and reproachful.
Tao Xiaoxi shook her head and said, "I've eaten it. I'm really full." Then she kept giving Zhao Bin a look.
Zhao Bin smiled and finally spoke, "I think she is really full. We can eat by ourselves, but she won't have a good time."
Shen Ximei was persuaded by Zhao Bin and really didn't come to get the bowl. Tao Xiaoxi finally relaxed.
"Xiao Xi, are you from Mantou Village?" Ximei asked.
"Yes, what's wrong?"
"I heard it this morning when I went to buy groceries. I heard it too, I don't know if it's true or not."
"Sister-in-law, it's up to you."
"I heard that the Public Security Bureau sent a migrant worker back from the provincial capital today. It was a woman, and I think she was from your Mantou Village. Oh, she was so miserable. I heard that she was raped by several homeless people in turn." Even someone as outspoken as Shen Ximei was embarrassed to say it out loud, and she covered her chest with her hands in fear.
"Migrant workers?" Tao Xiaoxi was puzzled for a moment.
"It refers to people in society who have no fixed jobs or residence. Have you never heard of blind migrants?" Zhao Bin explained.
"Oh, I know. Sister-in-law, do you know her name?" Somehow, she thought of Li Nanqiu immediately, but Nanqiu was studying in the provincial capital, so it couldn't be her, but she couldn't help but wonder in her heart.
"I don't know his name, but it seems to be Li."
"Last name Li?" Tao Xiaoxi jumped up from the stool in surprise. "Are you sure it's this Li? Muzi Li?"
Shen Ximei looked at Tao Xiaoxi in horror as she suddenly lost control, and didn't dare to speak anymore.
"Sister-in-law, please tell me clearly. She is a girl who came back from the provincial capital. Her surname is Li?"
"I'm not sure. I just heard about it. Why don't you go back and ask—"
Before he could finish his words, Tao Xiaoxi had already run out.
"What's wrong with her?" Shen Ximei asked, patting her chest.
"Her man seems to be surnamed Li. Could he be someone she knows?" Zhao Bin said.
"No wonder, that's really fatal."
This time, Tao Xiaoxi finally became a woman as fast as the wind. She turned the two-wheeled bicycle into a four-wheeled car with its own engine.
When she got home, there was no one there. Her heart skipped a beat and she ran towards Li's house without delay.
Only the eldest sister-in-law of the Li family was at home; everyone else was not there.
"Sister-in-law, is Nan Qiu back?" This was the first thing Tao Xiaoxi asked.
"No, it's not holiday time yet, why would Nanqiu come back?" The sister-in-law asked in confusion.
"What about my parents?" Tao Xiaoxi wondered if they hadn't been sent there yet.
"Everyone's down to the ground, what's wrong with you?"
Tao Xiaoxi hesitated to speak, and after thinking for a while, she decided to forget it. Her sister-in-law was about to give birth, so it was not appropriate to stimulate her. "It's nothing, I'll go home first."
As soon as I arrived home, Li Nanshan also came back.
"Where's Nan Qiu?"
"Nan Qiu? Isn't she in school?" Li Nanshan was confused.
Tao Xiaoxi thought, maybe he doesn't even know yet, should she tell him now? Oh my God, this is too cruel. He spent all his family fortune to send his sister to school, and now he has to watch her being sent back, and even sent back after being abused. Can he bear it?
But if she didn't tell him now, he would know it sooner or later. It would be better for her to tell him first, at least it would be better than witnessing the girl being carried back with wounds all over her body.
In the midst of confusion, Li Nanshan spoke.
"I'll tell you something, and you'll know what's going on."
"What's the matter?" Tao Xiaoxi's heart skipped a beat.
"There's a girl from our village who was sent back by the police as a migrant worker. She's having a terrible time out there. If you see her in the future, be careful what you say."
"Isn't it Nan Qiu?" Tao Xiaoxi blurted out.
"What Nanqiu? It's Ni Linli." Li Nanshan seemed a little confused and a little angry.
"You said the girl's name is Ni Linli?" Tao Xiaoxi deliberately emphasized the last three words.
"It's Ni Linli." Li Nanshan nodded.
Tao Xiaoxi got the correct answer and rushed towards the man opposite, "I was scared to death. Fortunately, it wasn't Nan Qiu."
Shen Ximei, oh Shen Ximei, she can't tell the difference between nl and l, it's really pitiful for her.
For the next few days, the village was abuzz with gossip about Ni Linli. She had originally gone to the city to work with her boyfriend, Qian San, who had found a job at a construction site. Somehow, she became a migrant worker, and her boyfriend didn't return with them.
No matter how much her family asked, they could not find out where Qian San had gone. Ni Linli seemed to have suddenly become deaf and dumb. She didn't speak and had no expression. She sat in front of the door every day, staring at the road at the entrance of the village, from morning to night, all day long.
Although Tao Xiaoxi was also curious, she was not so curious as to specifically inquire about other people's privacy. But if the privacy came to her on its own, that would be a different matter.
That night, it was already dark and everyone had turned off their oil lamps and was going to bed. Tao Xiaoxi also closed the door and prepared to go to sleep. Just as she closed the door, there was a knock on the door.
The village was quiet and the knock on the door seemed particularly abrupt, and Tao Xiaoxi was startled.
