Chapter 135 Discussing a Solution
When work got off in the afternoon, Ziyi came back, followed by Tang Jianguo. Seeing that Ziyi looked unhappy, he thought something had happened in the black market and did not dare to ask. He just warmly invited Tang Jianguo to sit in the main room and brought water for him and Ziyi to wash their hands and faces.
"Brother Tang, this is my sister Baoer, Liu Baoer. This is Brother Tang, Tang Jianguo, Ziyi's friend." Yike helped Liu Baoer and Tang Jianguo introduce each other.
The two greeted each other, and Liu Baoer pulled Yi Ke to the kitchen to talk in private.
"Sister Yike, do you think your brother-in-law is very unhappy? Is he still angry about what happened this morning? Should I go and apologize again?"
"No, maybe something happened to his friend? Don't think too much! Let's take the food out and eat first, then I'll ask Ziyi what happened?"
"Okay! As long as you're not mad at me, that's fine. If you are, I can just be thick-skinned and apologize a few more times. As long as I don't make things difficult for you, that's fine!"
Yi Ke was a little bit amused and helpless. This person was really flexible, but he just thought too much.
There was rabbit on the table for dinner. In the afternoon, Yike and Liu Baoer killed and cooked the rabbit they caught.
Braised spicy rabbit head, spicy rabbit legs, braised rabbit meat, black bean and longan rabbit meat soup.
Tang Jianguo looked at the table full of rabbit meat and couldn't help asking, "Did you take the rabbit nest?"
"Brother Tang, you are really good at guessing, and you always get it right." Liu Baoer started to talk about how Yike and she went to catch rabbits during the day.
"Tell me if you are going into the mountains next time, and I will go with you. What if we encounter a wild boar? It's not safe for you to carry a burden." Ziyi glanced at Liu Baoer and said to Yike.
"Okay, I'll tell you next time."
"Ziyi, you are too cautious. With your sister-in-law's skills, would you be afraid of a wild boar?"
"Isn't there still a burden? Besides, even a good horse can stumble, so it's always better to be safe than sorry." Ziyi shook his head.
Liu Baoer focused on eating. The rabbit meat was so delicious. She never expected that Yi Ke’s sister could cook so deliciously. She didn’t even listen to what Zi Yi said.
Seeing that Liu Baoer was eating so happily, Tang Jianguo stopped talking and just started eating. It is very rare to eat rabbit meat in the county town, not to mention that it is so delicious.
After the meal, there was not a single piece of food left on the table. Liu Baoer, who was full, kept muttering, "It's delicious! So delicious! I want to eat more! I'm so full! I haven't eaten this much during the Chinese New Year!"
Ziyi helped Yike clean up the dishes and took them to the kitchen to wash them, and Yike made tea for everyone. Ziyi came out after washing the dishes, pulled Yike to sit on the stool, and then handed her the letter from Han Guihua.
"What is this? Who wrote it?" Yi Ke asked as he opened it and read it.
"Your sister's."
I quickly read the letter, feeling angry and sad, with tears rolling down my face.
"Sister Yike, what's wrong? Why are you crying for no reason?" Liu Baoer was drinking tea comfortably, but when she saw Yike crying, she immediately put down her teacup and asked anxiously.
"Don't cry! We will find a way to rescue your sister. Don't cry." Ziyi said as he wiped Yike's tears with a handkerchief.
"Yes, sister-in-law, don't be sad. We will work together to find a way to rescue your sister." Tang Jianguo also comforted her.
"What do you mean? Save people? What happened to Yike's sister?" Liu Baoer asked, grabbing Tang Jianguo's arm.
Tang Jianguo briefly talked about Han Guihua's situation. Liu Baoer was furious and cursed: "What the hell? She's still my mother. She's worse than an animal! She should be sent to labor camp. Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs! She's worse than an animal. No, we must take care of this matter. We must save Yi Ke's sister."
"Of course we have to save her. We can tell from the letter that Yike's sister doesn't want to live anymore. So we not only have to save her, but we also have to find a way to get her to leave that family. Otherwise, if her mother can sell her out this time, there will be a next time. She can't be so lucky every time to let us know." Tang Jianguo said.
"Brother Tang, when did you receive this letter?" Yi Ke asked, trying hard to suppress the sadness in his heart.
"This morning. Two girls named Xiaohua and Xiaoyan delivered it." Tang Jianguo repeated what Xiaohua said.
"There's still time. Let's figure out what to do first." Ziyi held Yike's hand. "In theory, we should ask the village team leader and women's director for help. It would be easy to solve this problem, but if we want to take your sister away from that family, it will be more troublesome. So we have to make a detailed plan to force their family to let your sister leave and move her household registration out."
"Brother Ziyi, do you have any solution? If not, I will steal my sister out. At worst, I will just let her go to the forest. This time, I will definitely beat up that family and then throw them into the mountains to feed the wolves." Yi Ke said hatefully.
"Yes! Let's do it. Sister Yike, I'll go back and call a few people, and we'll go and kidnap that family and throw them into the mountains, and get your sister out. I'll ask my father to find her a temporary job."
"Temporary workers also need proof. You can't go anywhere in the village without a certificate." Tang Jianguo poured a bucket of cold water on Liu Baoer. "Well, their village captain won't just watch someone die and not help, right? He won't even issue a certificate?" Liu Baoer asked.
Tang Jianguo sneered, "Save? If they wanted to save her, they would have done it long ago. Yi Ke's sister has been locked up for so many days, their captain wouldn't be unaware of it, he just pretended not to know. There's a saying that even an honest official can't judge family affairs, and there's another saying that officials won't investigate unless the people report it. That family is all bad, who would report it? Outsiders generally don't meddle in other people's business."
Team leader: I really don’t know. If I knew, I would definitely scold Yang Huaihua.
"Yike, are there any respected elders in your village? Are there any people who are kind to you? Are there any women who are more powerful than your mother?" Ziyi said after thinking for a while.
"Yes, when my grandfather was still alive, many people in the village couldn't stand Sister Guihua's mother bullying my grandfather, so some elders in the clan stood up to criticize her, and she would restrain herself for a while. The one I fear the most is my eldest aunt. My eldest uncle's father and my grandfather are brothers. My eldest aunt gave birth to six sons, and sometimes she bullied my grandfather a lot, so my eldest aunt would ask her son to pin Yang Huaihua down and beat her. Yang Huaihua only has one son, so of course he couldn't win, so she feared my eldest aunt the most."
"Then why doesn't your sister ask your aunt for help?" Liu Baoer asked puzzledly.
"Since ancient times, marriages have been arranged by parents and matchmakers, and it is not easy for the aunt to intervene. Bullying grandpa is different. That is unfilial and anyone can interfere." Yike explained.
"We will go there tomorrow. We will first quietly go to your aunt to find out the situation and let her speak at an appropriate time. Then we will go to the women's director. Arranged marriages are not allowed in the new society, not to mention that your sister is not old enough. We will also go to the team leader and those respected elders. We will look for everyone who can speak to us and give them more gifts. It would be best if we can solve it in the village. If it can't be solved, we will go to the commune to file a complaint. This time we will move the household registration of both of you sisters out together, and we will completely cut off ties with them." Ziyi finally explained the plan in detail. Everyone helped to add to and correct it, and finally they agreed on a solution.
After finishing the discussion, everyone went to bed and prepared to get enough rest as they would set out for Hanjiagou Village tomorrow.
In Hanjiagou Village, in the evening, Han Guihua sat on the bed and looked outside through the window. She didn't know whether Xiaohua had delivered the letter to that person. My sister said that she would ask that person for help if she had any problems, so I guess that person would give the letter to my sister.
"Knock, knock, knock!" There was a knocking sound on the window board.
"Who?" Han Guihua asked in a low voice.
"It's me. Sister Osmanthus."
"Xiaohua, you..."
"Sister Guihua, I delivered the letter. The brother said he would come to save you and asked you to wait. He also told you not to do anything stupid and not to make sister Xiaocao sad."
Han Guihua's tears stretched like a line to the ground, and she covered her mouth and sobbed softly.
"Sister Guihua, Sister Guihua, what's wrong with you?" Xiaohua asked anxiously outside.
"I'm fine, you can go back. I understand. Don't come next time. It would be bad if you get caught."
"I'm not afraid! Sister Guihua, I'm leaving now. My sister is waving at me. Someone may be coming. I'm leaving now." Xiaohua said and ran away in a hurry.
"Xiaohua, Xiaoyan, what are you doing here? Why don't you go home? Can't you carry the pig grass? How about I help you carry it?"
"No, nothing. We just wanted to take a rest because we were tired. We'll be back soon." Xiaohua was so nervous that she stuttered a little.
"You really don't want my help?"
"No, thanks, auntie!" Xiaohua carried the backpack and left with her sister.
Han Guihua listened to the voice getting farther and farther away, feeling both envious and sad. Why are other people’s parents so nice? Why are my parents so bad?
Han Guihua was sad for a while, then lay down and thought quietly about what Xiaohua had just said.
Xiaohua said that the brother was coming to save her, but could he really save her? I'm afraid it means that her sister is coming to save her.
Sister, please don't come back. If you come back, not only will I not be able to save her, but mother and brother will also lock her up as well.
Last time, that idiot’s family made a big fuss, and my mother had to pay compensation to settle the matter. If my sister came back, my mother would definitely tie her up and send her to that idiot's house.
I heard that the idiot hasn't found a wife yet. Well, which good family would send their daughter to be ruined by such a man? Only my mother would have lost her conscience.
Han Guihua knew that it was wrong to think of her mother like this, but what her mother did was very conscienceless, so she had to think like this.
Fortunately, my sister escaped and survived, and she married a good man. You can tell at first glance that the man loves her sister. She and her sister have been together for so long, and the man's eyes have never left her sister, and he takes such good care of her.
Although Han Guihua herself does not understand feelings, she has read some books, which say this: If a man only sees your shadow in his eyes, then this man truly likes you. Therefore, Han Guihua believed that her brother-in-law really loved her sister. She was happy for her sister to be happy, and she would die without regrets.
Han Guihua fell asleep while thinking. In her dream, she saw her sister happily talking to her brother-in-law, and her brother-in-law walked forward holding her sister's hand...
