"How do you talk to your sister like that? Can't you pick up your own things? Don't you have hands?"
He Aiqing was too lazy to argue with Old Mrs. He, so she just took her things and went back to the house.
The house hadn't been lived in for a long time and hadn't been cleaned, so it smelled musty.
I wiped it a few times with a wet towel and lay down.
"Mr. He, why did your daughter come back in the middle of the night? Was she kicked out?" The neighbor poked his head out from over the wall.
"Nonsense, it's my Xiaohua who misses home. That's her brother's house, how could she be kicked out? Besides, my Aiqing is back with his wife and children."
The neighbors took a quick look and saw that only Mrs. He's room had the kerosene lamp on, so they thought she was just trying to save face.
"Then why was there no one there and no one around? I just saw your daughter standing in the yard with disheveled hair and a dirty face. Who knew your son and daughter-in-law would also come back?"
Old Lady He impatiently drove them away, otherwise the village would be full of rumors tomorrow. "Don't talk nonsense, they are asleep, you big mouth, don't shout all over the village."
After leading the person to the kitchen, Old Mrs. He started to boil water for her to take a bath.
When I was helping He Aihua take a bath, I found that my daughter's body was covered with bruises.
Although some of the marks can be seen at a glance as rope marks, some of the marks are very ambiguous.
She's been through this, how come she doesn't know what this is?
"That bastard did it." Old Mrs. He cried and wiped her tears.
"Mom, don't ask. I just want to take a bath and sleep peacefully for a while."
"Okay, okay, Mommy won't ask. Come, lift your arms up and I'll rub your armpits."
Every time Old Lady He shouted, He Aihua moved like a puppet.
Only when she lay on the familiar bed did He Aihua feel a little safe.
I buried my head in the quilt before I dared to cry out loud.
The scenes of his interactions with Zhang Yu kept replaying in his mind, and he tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.
What Zhang Yu had said at the beginning was to keep Gu Youcai under control, and if he disobeyed, he would ruin his reputation and remove him from the position of deputy director.
But she never thought of getting herself involved. Now who knows how people in the mine will spread gossip about her, He Aihua.
She always felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't put her finger on what it was.
At the scene, she desperately winked at Zhang Yu, hoping that he would save her.
But Zhang Yu didn't even look at her.
She thought this was part of his plan, but she felt an indescribable sense of desolation in her heart.
Since then, He Aihua became more and more taciturn, sitting in a daze in her room every day, which made Old Mrs. He so anxious that her mouth was full of blisters.
When asked, He Aiqing said she didn't know.
He Aiqing thought that she would be able to find out the answer by asking a few more times, but then she received another call from Gu's mother, saying that she wanted them to go back to the mine.
