Zhang Xiulan has been helping the family to collect the cabbage in the garden these days, picking out the long, tall and white ones and cutting them and putting them in a pile, preparing for drowning sauerkraut, leaving some of the big roots and keeping them in the cellar and digging them out as fresh vegetables to eat during the Winter New Year.The family is poor, after the autumn, until the beginning of the spring vegetables are dependent on these, so the rural families have planted half of the garden, just cut these vegetables, Zhang Xiulan and her mother were busy for three days to finish, and put away the vegetables that were dried to be flooded, and dug a one-person deep cellar in the south of the garden before the Qixi Festival, and the work at home was busy, just waiting for the autumn harvest.The next day of the rest is Qixi Festival, and there is a saying in the countryside that I eavesdropped under the cucumber stand at night, saying that I could hide there and hear what the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl said when they met, but no one really did it, and at this time, the vegetable garden had already been cleaned up almost, and I couldn't see the vegetables.The Zhao family and the Wang family also packed up, and the two families went to the city again on the weekend, and bought all the things they needed for the wedding, and the next day Zhao Aimin went to the town, and set the day of the wedding and the cook, and only waited until a few days before the day to come to the house.After Lin Huiping burned the book last time, Zhang Xiulan didn't say a word to her again, Lin Huiping didn't care at first, but after more than four or five days, she was angry in her heart, scolding and scolding every day, and finally Zhang Laohan endured it for a few days and couldn't help it, and shouted Lin Huiping a few times, which stopped.When Zhang Yuejin and his family came over with delicious food, they never called noodles without delicious food, and when they arrived in the East Courtyard, they saw that Zhang Xiulan was also a nose and not a nose and eyes were not eyes, but fortunately, he knew that Zhang Xiulan was powerful, and he didn't dare to say anything nonsense.At the end of the month, Zhang Xiuzhi returned home with a swollen face, and his face was so swollen that he almost didn't recognize it, "What's wrong?"
What's going on?
”Lin Huiping showed off the kidney beans in her hand and pulled Zhang Xiuzhi who came in, "Is it Shang Gang who is strong?"
That brute, seeing that I don't kill him, dare to beat people like this, does he still want to live this day?
”Zhang Xiulan listened to the movement in the West House and walked out, "Sister, go into the house." ”Ignoring her mother, Zhang Xiulan took Zhang Xiuzhi into the West House, Zhang Xiuzhi was stunned, and when she sat on the kang, her body was still trembling slightly.Lin Huiping followed up in the house, still scolding, Zhang Xiulan said angrily, "Mom, if you really feel sorry for my sister, you will go to the Shang family to help my sister out, or you will tell the Shang family to divorce, and my sister will not go back."
What's the use of scolding here?
You also know that you sold my sister, and you can't get ahead over there, right?
In that case, don't keep scolding here, it's much more affordable to make something for my sister to eat. ”"Dead girl, who knew that Shang Gangqiang would still beat people?"
But he was also weak-hearted, and turned around and went to the outhouse, "I'm going to cook, whoever asked me to give birth to you, I owe it to you." ”Zhang Xiulan was too lazy to worry about her, and she never let go of her hand when she brought someone into the house, but her sister's hand was still cold, and there was no temperature at all, "Sister, I know you feel uncomfortable, you cry."
Don't worry, if Shang Gangqiang doesn't give an explanation this time, he won't want to take you back.You work as a cow and a horse for his family, who doesn't know what kind of life you live?
What if he paid twenty dollars to marry you?
It's a big deal to give it to him, and he really treats people as cattle and horses for twenty yuan. ”"Then Shang Gangqiang won't let you have children?
That kind of man doesn't treat you as a human being at all, and it's not worth it to be sad for such a person. ”"Mom doesn't care about you, and me."
Zhang Xiulan has long wanted her sister to leave the Shang family, but she has never found a chance, where can she let it go this time, "Sister, you don't owe Shang Gangqiang anything, I know that you are soft-hearted, and you have decided that you will live a lifetime if you marry in the past, but look at what Shang Gangqiang did to you?"
Did he treat you like a human being?
Taking advantage of the fact that there are no children now, just to leave, and there is less drag, I think about it, I want to go to other places to find work, and then we can go together, it is better than the day when the Shang family has no beginning. ”"Lanzi ......" was like a person like wood, and finally reacted at this time, lying in Zhang Xiulan's arms and crying loudly.Lin Huiping, who eavesdropped on the movement of the Westinghouse while burning the fire in the outhouse, was relieved when she heard the cry of the Westinghouse.Seeing that her daughter was beaten and almost unrecognizable, Lin Huiping was a little weak-hearted, for fear that something would really happen, and then she would have to poke her backbone, and even her own man would not spare her.The heart was put back in the stomach, and Lin Huiping also devoted herself to cooking, in the end, she was a little scared at this time, it was rare for her to be generous, rolled noodles with noodles, and beat two poached eggs.Steaming to the West House, crying for so long, Zhang Xiuzhi was also tired, lying quietly on the kang, Lin Huiping couldn't help but stagger her eyes when she saw her daughter's face, "Xiuzhi, eat something first, and then heal the injury at home, let's talk about something else." ”Zhang Xiulan glanced at her mother, she still had a little conscience, said a human word, turned around and persuaded Zhang Xiuzhi, "Sister, eat first, my mother rolled noodles for you, and poached eggs, it's so rare, you can't stop eating." ”Lin Huiping's eyes widened, she didn't say anything, and turned around angrily and walked out.Zhang Xiulan smiled on her face, helped her sister sit up, and handed the big bowl to her, "You can stay at home at ease, and you will eat steadily when your mother cooks food, in order to marry your second brother's daughter-in-law back then, you paid so much for this family, why do you pay the same?"
It's time for them to give up. ”Zhang Xiuzhi's melancholy eyes had a smile, eating noodles in small bites, and her swollen face made her face involved every time she opened her mouth, thinking of the grievances she had suffered since she was a child, and the days when she married the Shang family, Zhang Xiuzhi's tears couldn't help but fall, fell into the bowl, and she drank the noodles to her stomach.Zhang Xiulan looked distressed, "Sister, what I said just now is what I think in my heart, you should also think about it." ”"Lanzi, this is my sister's life."
Zhang Xiuzhi didn't think about it, and looked at her sister gratefully, "It's not that I haven't thought about it, but where can I get twenty yuan?"
Besides, my mother would not agree to have a divorced girl like me stay at home, and she would not like to be ashamed. ”"Sister, why do you always think about this family and them?
Can't you see how they do to you?
You've sacrificed your whole life, and while you're still young, it's time to live for yourself. ”Zhang Xiulan saw that she didn't want to leave the Shang family, and was faintly excited, "Sister, I have money, when I was with Zhao Xinghua, he gave me some money, and I saved it, when you and Shang Gangqiang divorced, we will return the money to him, and he will not be entangled, and as soon as the divorce is divorced, you will go to work in the field with me, you don't have to stay at home to see your mother's face, and when you have money in your hand, rent a house outside, and you can always live a good life." ”Zhang Xiuzhi was faintly moved, but she was naturally timid and cowardly, and after several struggles, she still shook her head, "Things are not as simple as you think, Shang Gangqiang will not agree, and neither will my parents." ”"Sister, as long as you want to, I will do this, believe me, I will definitely be able to do it."
Zhang Xiulan held her sister's hand tightly and looked at her firmly. ......
