Chapter 132: Seeking Help
Yike is trying seriously to mediate the conflict between her new sister and Ziyi. She really doesn't know if these two are born to be incompatible. They quarreled when they first met, and now they quarrel again when they meet again. She was worried about her new sister, and her biological sister was also thinking about her.
In Hanjiagou Village, Han Guihua lay on the bed, staring blankly at the window nailed shut by large wooden boards, feeling extremely sad.
Her own mother forced her younger sister to death, and now she is trying to kill her.
My mother didn’t like my sister before, but later when she found out that my sister was not her biological daughter, she forgave her for what she had done to her.
But I was my mother's daughter, and for the sake of my brother, she wanted to marry me to a lame man who was two or three times older than me.
In the past, my mother scolded my sister for being a money-loser. It turned out that in her mother's mind, I was also a money-loser, a tool to exchange for the bride price for my brother's marriage.
In order to avoid paying the bride price, he would have followed his mother and brother's wishes if the conditions were similar. However, this man was not only old, but also said to like to beat people. His previous wife was beaten by him every day until she died.
Mother knew clearly that this man was a bad man, but she still said that as long as I was obedient, I would not be beaten. Isn’t this just lying with open eyes?
My mother even said that she was sent to school in the past in order to improve her own value and help my brother get more dowry. Now that the other party does not want a dowry and just wants to get married, it is the same.
Han Guihua felt that her whole body was cold and could not be warmed up anymore.
Knock knock knock. There was a sound of knocking on the window outside.
"Who?" Han Guihua asked in a low voice.
"It's me. Sister Guihua, are you okay? Here, these fries are for you." Xiaohua handed the fries in.
"Xiaohua, you're here. Did anyone see you? Don't give me food next time. I have food to eat."
"No, Sister Guihua, have you finished writing the letter? Give it to me quickly, I'm afraid someone will find it."
Han Guihua stuffed a letter through the gap in the window, and Xiaohua quickly put it in her pocket.
"Xiaohua, please! The address and name are on the back of the letter. Give it to him and come back to tell me."
"Okay. Sister Guihua, please take care of yourself! I will come over every day after I finish cutting grass for the pigs. Tell me what you want."
"No need, just tell me that the letter has been delivered, and don't let my family find out, otherwise it will bring trouble to your family."
"Sister Guihua, can the person in this letter save you?"
"Yes. So you have to deliver the letter no matter what. Thank you, Xiaohua!"
"You're welcome! As long as I can help you, I'm leaving now."
"Let's go!"
…
In the morning, there was a rapid knock at the gate of the Tang family. The eldest daughter-in-law of the Tang family hurriedly dropped the water scoop in her hand and walked towards the gate while asking, "Who is it? Why are you knocking on the door so early?"
As soon as she opened the door, she saw two girls, about thirteen or fourteen, who looked exactly the same, standing at the door.
The little girl's dry yellow hair was still a little wet, and it was obvious that it was wet by dew. She was wearing old clothes that had been washed so long ago that the original color could not be seen and were full of patches, wrapping her skinny little body.
The eldest daughter-in-law of the Tang family quickly let the two little girls into the doorway, fearing that a gust of wind would blow the two little girls away.
"Who are you looking for?" The eldest daughter-in-law of the Tang family searched her memory and made sure that she had never seen these two girls before.
"Um, Auntie, may I ask, is this Tang Jianguo's home?" the little girl asked nervously, not forgetting what her teacher taught her to be polite, and used the polite word "please".
"Yeah, who are you? What do you want to do with him?" The eldest daughter-in-law of the Tang family became even more curious, because her brother-in-law also had a girl looking for him.
Although the two girls look only thirteen or fourteen years old, it is difficult to judge their actual age by their height these days. Looking at the sallow complexions of these two girls, you can tell that they must have often been hungry at home, which is why they are so short. If her brother-in-law really finds one of them to be his wife, she will cook better food for the girl and she will grow taller. The eldest son of the Tang family has lost all thoughts about his wife.
"Auntie, can we meet him? We have something very important to give him." One of the little girls looked at her eagerly and said
"Of course you can. You two are so lucky. He happens to be at home today. If it was a day or two earlier, you two wouldn't be able to see him right away. He is often busy outside making money every few days. He is so hardworking." The eldest daughter-in-law of the Tang family did not forget to praise her brother-in-law.
"Why don't you come in and sit down? I'll go call him."
The two little girls' eyes seemed to light up all of a sudden. One of the girls who was perhaps a little more impatient quickly waved her hands and urged the eldest daughter-in-law of the Tang family to go and call for help quickly, as if she was afraid that the person would leave if she was a little late.
"Auntie, could you please go and call him quickly? We have something very urgent and important for him."
"No trouble, no trouble! Then you just wait a moment, it will be quick." The eldest daughter-in-law of the Tang family went back to call her brother-in-law.
"Sister, can this man named Tang Jianguo really help Sister Guihua?"
"If Sister Guihua says it's okay, then it's okay. We can only believe it. Otherwise, what can we do?"
"This Aunt Huaihua is so mean! Isn't Sister Guihua her daughter? How could she harm her?"
"Didn't she kill Xiaocao'er's sister? It wouldn't be surprising if she killed another daughter."
It turned out that the two sisters were Guihua’s classmates, twin sisters Xiaohua and Xiaoyan. They came to help Han Guihua deliver a letter today.
"Little sister, are you looking for me?" Tang Jianguo was called out by his sister-in-law, and was inexplicably shocked by her words, "Your sister-in-law has come to your house, and you didn't tell me earlier."
He thought there was a beautiful girl at the door, but when he got there, he saw that it was just a girl of about thirteen or fourteen years old.
Tang Jianguo wondered how hungry he must be to find such a tiny creature, raise it and then eat it. Tang Jianguo shuddered, he was not as perverted as Ziyi.
Ziyi: You are the pervert, your whole family is perverted!
"Are you Tang Jianguo?" a little girl asked, looking at him with disbelief.
Tang Jianguo began to wonder if he had not dreamed last night, and that was why the man was playing a prank on him in this way today.
"What? You come to me and then don't believe me, then go home and do what you need to do. I don't have time to waste with you."
The two girls looked at each other, and one of them whispered to the other: "Ask him if he knows Sister Guihua? Of course he knows her."
"Haha!" Tang Jianguo laughed. With such a loud sound and someone biting his ear, he thought someone was deaf.
"Do you know Han Guihua?" the little girl asked.
Tang Jianguo thought about it and realized there was no such person, so he shook his head and said, "Little girl, did you remember it wrongly?"
When the two little girls saw him shaking his head, they became anxious, "What should we do? He doesn't recognize Sister Osmanthus? What should we do with Sister Osmanthus?" The other little girl was so anxious that she burst into tears.
"Hey! Don't cry! If others see it, they will think I bullied you. It's so early in the morning, how can you be happy?" Tang Jianguo was frightened by the little girl's tears, and said hurriedly, and then he wanted to slip back to find his sister-in-law to deal with it.
Women are troublesome. They are like water, and tears flow out without any warning.
"Uncle, is there anyone named Tang Jianguo around here?" The little girl's voice pulled Tang Jianguo's feet. He turned around and pointed at his face and asked, "Uncle? You call me uncle? Do I look like an uncle?"
Xiaohong and Xiaoyan were so frightened that they took a big step back, stunned and unable to speak. Especially Xiaoyan, there were tears hanging on her eyelashes, it was clear that she was a weird uncle bullying a little girl.
Of course, Tang Jianguo didn't notice at all that he looked like an uncle at this moment. He had just woken up and his hair was uncombed and messy, and his beard was untidy. Haha, it was normal for the girl to call the wrong person.
"Hmph! Since you are little girls, I won't bother with you. Let me tell you, I am the only one with this name around here, far and near. You came here to look for someone and even got the name wrong, you deserve not to find him." There is no word in Tang Jianguo's dictionary that does not allow for being harsh to children.
"Sister, take out the letter and have a look. Did we remember it wrong?" Xiaoyan said.
"Okay, I'll take it out and have a look." Xiaohua took out a letter from her schoolbag. It was actually a folded piece of paper with the address and name written on the back. Tang Jianguo recognized at a glance that it was his home address and his name.
Tang Jianguo was puzzled now. He didn't even know the person who wrote to him, and the person was a girl. He had never been involved in any extramarital affair.
"Hey, little girl," Tang Jianguo was so curious that he couldn't help but say, "Can you let me see the letter? This address and name are definitely for me."
"But don't you know my sister Guihua?
"Silly girl, I don't know her, but maybe my friend knows her?" Tang Jianguo paused when he said the word "friend". He remembered that Ziyi's wife's surname was Han, and the person they had asked him to take care of was called Han Guihua. Could that be the owner of this letter?
"Little girl, the Han Guihua you are talking about is the Han Guihua from Hanjiagou Village?" Xiaohong and Xiaoyan looked at Tang Jianguo as if he was a fool, which made him laugh. "You two are fools. Do you know how many people with the same name and surname are there in the country? How do I know who you are talking about?" He would never admit that he had forgotten about it.
"So you know my sister Guihua?" Xiaohua asked.
Xiaoyan also looked at Tang Jianguo hopefully, and Tang Jianguo quickly nodded and said "Yes!" for fear that if he was too slow, the silent girl would lose her temper again.
"Sister, ask him if he can help Sister Guihua?" The little girl bit her ear again.
Tang Jianguo didn't know whether to laugh or cry. What a joke this girl was. The person was standing right in front of her, but she just whispered to him in person instead of whispering so loudly. Was she afraid that the other person couldn't hear her? Tang Jianguo could only laugh!
"This is a letter from my sister Guihua. After you read it, tell us if we can help her. I will take a message back to her." Xiaohua handed the letter to Tang Jianguo.
Tang Jianguo quickly finished reading the contents of the letter. Regardless of whether the handwriting on the letter was nice or not, just looking at the incoherent introduction, it was obvious that the girl was contradictory when she wrote the letter.
The content of the letter was roughly that Han Guihua was going to marry a lame 40-year-old man, and her objections were in vain. Now she was locked up. She wanted him to tell his sister not to go back and not to see her, and to treat her as if she were dead. It seemed that Han Guihua had decided to die.
Tang Jianguo lost his composure. How could this be possible? Ziyi's wife asked me to take care of her, so I have to help solve the problem myself.
Tang Jianguo pondered...
