The moon is high in the sky, the moonlight is bright, and the evening breeze is cold.
Ma Dali still hadn't left, and was still sifting sand in the moonlight.
Ma Erli rushed over and anxiously told him the whole story.
"Brother...what should we do now? Ah Feng said she wants to take the baby to Chaocheng and asked me to buy her a ticket."
Ma Dali was busy with his own things and did not pause. He listened to everything with a sullen expression and then spoke slowly.
"No matter how big the situation is, the sky will not fall. As long as the sky does not fall, there will be a solution sooner or later. Why are you in a hurry? Can you solve the problem by being anxious?"
Ma Erli sighed helplessly: "Brother, she said she wanted to leave - I really don't care at all."
"If you don't buy her a ticket, she won't be able to leave, right?" Ma Dali said calmly, "Wait until tomorrow to explain it to her in detail. If you can't, then I'll help you explain it to her. In addition, the wall has been built now, you can bring her over here to see. Let her see with her own eyes that we are not going to abandon her, but we want to take care of her and her daughter in a better way."
He had already seen that his brother and Lin Jiafeng were really not suitable for each other.
Lin Jiafeng used the method of retreating to advance to force her brother to surrender and marry her, but why didn't she look further ahead?
"Tell her that the name on the land transfer documents for this house is hers. The house will also be hers after it's built. Not only that, when her child grows up, we will find the best school in the city for her. My aunt is a doctor at the Central Hospital, so she has acquaintances who can help with minor illnesses. If she lives here, her child will enjoy the best education environment and medical conditions in the south."
Ma Erli's eyes flickered slightly, and he hesitated, "She said that she didn't want anything from me... Actually, there's nothing about me that's worth her wanting."
"Some things don't need to be said out loud." Ma Dali glanced at his brother and whispered, "I've told you before, the more you dwell on this issue, the more you can't escape it. Let her settle down first and let her meet more people. Naturally, she won't only have eyes for you, Ma Erli."
No matter how smart and scheming she is, she is just a girl from a small country village.
She had not seen the true prosperity of Chongqing, and had not yet realized that the place she was in was no longer a small mountain village with only a few hundred people, but a big city with a population of several million.
There are millions of men coming and going here, so why should she worry about not finding one to spend her life with?
Ma Erli seemed to understand and asked, "Brother, what should we do now?"
"No hurry." Ma Dali comforted her, "Just pretend that nothing happened tonight. If she forces you to leave again, just say that you can let her go when she finds a man who is worthy of her and can take good care of her and the child."
Ma Erli nodded.
Ma Dali added: "The cold air has gone, and the sun is shining today, and the temperature has started to rise again. The weather will be warmer tomorrow. I will ask Sanyue and Sifang to take her and the children to the city center to play, buy some things for her, and buy some New Year's goods for the house."
Lingling said that most women like to buy things, especially beautiful things. When a woman is in a bad mood, as long as you buy her something she likes to comfort her, she will naturally be happy.
The frog at the bottom of the well sees the sky above its head as only as the size of the well mouth, so it thinks the well mouth is its sky.
He observed Lin Jiafeng and found that she was an ambitious woman.
I also heard from my younger brother that she had actively pursued her husband, but he was unwilling to marry her. It was not until her belly got bigger that he was forced to secretly marry her.
The other party was also an educated youth who went to the countryside. He wrote a letter to tell his family, but his family members did not approve of the marriage and told him to break up with Lin Jiafeng and return home.
Lin Jiafeng kept pestering the other party and would not let him leave home.
Later, when her family pressed her hard, Lin Jiafeng put forward another condition, saying that they must recognize their marriage and accept their children, otherwise he would not be allowed to reunite with his family.
The other party's family refused and kept delaying, until misfortune occurred.
She wanted to take her child to her husband's family, but her husband's family refused to recognize her. She cried and asked the neighborhood committee to help her, forcing her husband's family to leave the house and take back the property and money that her husband deserved.
Her husband's family was not well off and could not give her anything. In the end, they had to give her a few dozen dollars and told her to take her child and find a reliable man to marry.
She originally wanted to leave her daughter to her husband's family, but her mother-in-law and her husband were both old and could not take care of a child at all.
She had no choice but to take her daughter back to her parents' home, but her parents refused to let her go because the place was too small and they still asked her to find a man to marry.
Later, she took her daughter to see Ma Erli, who had just been discharged from the hospital.
She had no choice, so she threatened her brother to marry her.
If she were allowed to see a broader sky, with her ambition and thoughts, she would naturally choose a better person, not her brother who currently has nothing.
"...Is this all right?" Ma Erli asked suspiciously, "Will she not want it?"
Ma Dali shook his head: "Just wait and see, and you'll know. Just work, don't think too much."
"Oh oh." Ma Erli Guan Yu whispered: "Brother, it's a little late, let's go."
Ma Dali said, "You go ahead and do it. It will take more than ten minutes to finish the sifting. I will go after I finish it."
Ma Erli had no choice but to go back.
The moon was hanging high in the sky, and a cool wind was blowing gently.
Ma Dali continued to work quietly.
Suddenly, footsteps were heard not far away.
Ma Dali thought it was his younger brother who had come back, so he looked up and saw a tall and thin stranger!
"Who? Who and where?"
"Me!" The man walked in with a carefree and casual pace, leaned against the brick wall at the side, and said in a low and joking voice: "Uncle Dali, are you still busy so late?"
Ma Dali was stunned for a moment, then he smiled.
"It's a ponytail. How...how did you get here?"
Maweiba's home was at the other end of the village, so logically he shouldn't have come here at night.
"I'm looking for you." Ma Weiba lazily took out a pack of cigarettes, took out one, and pretended to throw it -
"No need." Ma Dali smiled innocently and explained, "I don't smoke. You can smoke by yourself."
Ma Weiba narrowed his eyes and glared at him, laughing jokingly: "A cultured person should behave like a cultured person."
Then, he slowly lit a cigarette and smoked it leisurely.
Ma Dali stopped what he was doing and quickly washed his hands.
"Um... would you like some water?"
Ponytail shook his head slowly: "No, I just want to ask you a few questions."
"Then sit down." Ma Dali found a small stool, brushed off the dust on it, and handed the stool forward.
Ponytail didn't sit down and raised an eyebrow.
"Uncle Dali, the woman I went with you to look for my wife last time - the one with the surname Chen, what is her relationship with you?"
Ma Dali smiled and replied, "Lingling, right? Her name is Chen Xingling, she was my classmate and also my good friend. Last time, it was her mother-in-law who stole your money. Thanks to you for letting her off, otherwise her mother-in-law wouldn't have been able to leave smoothly."
Ponytail didn't know what he was thinking of, he narrowed his eyes and smiled softly.
"That woman is interesting."
Ma Dali stared at him in confusion, but still nodded.
"Lingling is indeed extraordinary. She is courageous, kind-hearted, and very smart."
Ma Weiba scratched his scalp and said, "Last time she said she would treat us to some wine and cigarettes, I laughed at her for being good at making polite speeches. Who knew that woman would be so bold, and a few days later she really got two bottles of foreign wine and a few cartons of foreign cigarettes to send to Ah Hai and me. She even had noodles with Ah Hai. She was so generous! She even chatted with us! Hahaha!"
Ma Dali said “Oh? Oh?” twice and asked, “Did she…really die?”
"Yes!" Ma Wei nodded: "And she went alone. It made Ah Hai and I laugh! She's quite an interesting woman!"
Ma Dali laughed innocently: "I've already told you, she is truly extraordinary!"
Ma Weiba lazily exhaled a puff of smoke and said, "I've been out here for more than ten or twenty years, but this is the first time I've met such a bold and generous scholar. Uncle Dali, is she really married? Is she really a college student?"
